The following squib was perpe''at-
cd" in one Of the public schools in Phil
adelphia county. We are not aware Of
its ever having appeared in print nnd
lis too good TO be lost
1t seems tha, a few hours exemption |
from mischief had greatly enlarged the |
bump Of "ireachery" in the upper sto-
ries Of some Of the young 'ideas," and
they took aud s'rewcd the balustrade
from top TO bottom with tar, and when
the master came in, he very naturally
laid his hand on it when he mounted
the stairs. lie was soon aware Of his
mishap, but said nothing about ii until
the scholars had all been called in and
had taken their seats, when he acquaint-
! I'd them with The fact, and said he would
give any one, five dollrrs that would in
form him who had hand in it.
At this moment up jumped little
red.healcd urchin, who said
"Thir, You seth you'll give any one
! Eve dollerih wbor tell who had hand
in it?
Yes"
"Now. thir, you'll not wlir me, will
you I"
NO"
"wcll, ihir, y Now you won't
whip -
"You young scramp, I'll lick you If
you don't tell pretty soon
"Thir, y.o-u-- oh, ] don't like to.
"Go on, or Ill skin you alive!
Nv ell, ,hir, you had hand IN IT.
The master gave in, and foIked over.
