had caught the tail Of the snake, and wound
i firmly round his hand, telling Miss M, thai
she must let go the moment he jerked, snd
TO make the act as instantaneous as possible,
he told her he would pronounce the wsrds
one, two, three, and that at the moment he
pronounced the last word, she must lot 90
her hold, and that he doubted not that he
could withdraw the snake before il could have
time to strike. All stood in breathless hor-

The fastening Of the machine had become
loose during the dancing and it had shifted ia
position in such way that it had dangled
about and induced the belief that it was a
snake with an enormous head. The Doctor

Scene at the Log School House.

The first pugiistic exhibition / ever wit
messed was in front of our school house door,
and strange, indeed, one of the parties was
none other than our preceptor. One day, as
we Juveniles were poring over old Dilworth,
suddenly our cabin was surrounded by some
fifteen or twenty men. Our teacher was i'm
medately summoned to the field of blood
Nothing daunted at such fearful odds, he
obeyed the call, ordering us to attend to our
lessons. The necessary preparations being
made, he entered the ring, and at signal
given the action commenced. Our hero soon
telled his antagonist to the ground, and, with
few well directed blows, convinced him that
he had walked up the wrong passenger. The
wounded captain being carried off the field
our master entered the house and took his
position in the schoel-room, with as much
composure as if he had just brushed fly from
his face. Mr.. Couter's pugiistic fame soon
spread abroad, and think it took him about
fortnight to fog all the bulies in the neigh
borhood which occasioned vacation o
school. My organ of secretiveness being
more largely developed than the organ o
combativeness, the reader can imagine one
closely wedged up in one corner, looking
through opening between the logs of the
school house. Such, Mr.. Editor, were oul
school houses and books, and such were oul
teachers in the early history of Ohio. A
grammer lesson or the map Of the world was
M more thought of in those days, than steam
navigation was by the commercial world
! How far such conduct would he tolerated In
our schools now, cannot tell; but some re-
cent events that have taken place in some o
our high schools, have led me to believe tina
ifa Coulter had been in the place Of the un
fortunate Butler, the Wards would have re
ceived their merited chastisement before re
yolvers could have been brought into requisi
tion.-Cor. Gin. Gag.

POETRY.
MORE LIGHTI

tit is rarely we meet with so much passion
and fervor in poem as in this very swee
religious Lyric. The last utterance of th'
great GOETHE was, "More Light" and thes'
lines are sp echo of his rds];-Register.
More light, Oh Cod for round my weary soul,
The darkness closest and the lonely night;
Solemn and sad, steals on--Poor, iruidess goal
OF youths high hopes, sweet dreams, and prem
I' ise BRIGHT
And so my heart breathes aye its earnest cry
q To thee, Oh God, the merciml and high.
More light, more light! my dim uncertain gaze,
The.evil from the good can scarce discern;
Perplexed and fearful in Life's weary maze,
Like poor frightened child, my soul doth yearn
All safe to lie upon the fathers breast
In the sweet land of light and love and rest!
More light, more light Sweet light of human love
Kindled by angel fingers pure rs they,
a kindred blessedness to that above,
Earth yet might know, but thou fade'st awny.
And shining feebly through the lapse of years,
Still fainter growing goethout in tears.
Nor % light, more light! my Savior. still Icry,
Longing for the sweetday Of promised grace,
When the whole earth serene and glad, shall lie
All flooded in the light from thy dear face:
Into my soul blessed iullness pour,
And there thy smile for ever more!
