Mr.. McKim's establishment was large
one. Being situated but a few miles out
of The city, IN delightful nelghbOrhO2d,
many visitors were drawn to 1t IN the sum

time were visiting it.
Miss Penelope Penrose was we'll quail

ways been accustomed to do so at her own.
She did SO with a mingled grace and ele-
gance that McKim was as much surpri-
sed as delighted. Still further, her edu-
cation qualified her to mingle in the con-
versation with degree of intelligence
which betrayed that she was very we'll
read. This qualification, SO rare in a
hOusekeeper, pleased Mr.. McKim not a
little, and arrested the attention of his
guests.

HAS A SCHOOL TEACHER THE RIGHr TO
FLoG PUPIL "A case involving this
question was tried at our September Cir
cult Hiram Wood during the last winter
taught Dist. School in the town Of Stan
ford. in this county. Francis Germond, i,
a girl Of II years Of age. was among his
scholars. For alleged disobedience, the
teacher, with whip about four feet
long, and nearly half an inch in diameter,
foIyed her so severely that black and blue
marks were left on her person for weeks
| after the occurrence. The defence was
that the teacher had right to resort to
this kind Of punishment to perserve order.
Judge Dean chared the jury that the
teacher stood in the place OF parent, and
had right to correct pupil, but in do
ing it he must exhibit parents feelings.
That he had no right to use this privilege
to crafty his own feelings of resentment
and if he exceeded what was Necessary to
preserve order, he was liable for assault
and battery. He further charged that
the means used to preserve order should
be adapted to the sex, age and habits ol
the pupil-what might be necessary and
/ proper in case of large boy, would be
very improper and excessive in the case
of female and he left it to the jury tc
say whether any possible circumstance:
would warrant man, whether teacher
or not, in laying his hands in violence ol
anger upon a grown up girl. The jury
found a verdict against the teacher TO-
the sum of $365. which, we think, meets
with approval in the whole community.

CHAPTER II.
Mr.. Gregory McKim. as our readers
have already been Informed, was bache-
lor of thirty-fye. Inheriting large for
tune from his father, it was a matter of no
little wonderment to his numerous friends.

It was after dinner, and as was his
wont, he was leaning back in his rocking
chair plunged into the peculiarly pleasing
state Of dreaminess supcrinduced by a
choice Havana, when the bell was heard
to ring.

In two hours from that time Miss Pen

Kim, IS and wishing we had some one pre-

The answer was general negative,
" Perhaps" interposed the housekee
per. quietly, "lieu of better, you would
wish to hear me play"
"What. Miss Malcom. do you play q
asked McKim in surprise.
" A little"
Then you will confer great favol
by giving us specimen of your skill"
Miss Penelope was an accomplished mu
sician, having cultivated assidiously hel
natural talent. which was very consider
able. In addition to this she sang taste
fully.
Without further ado. she proceeded tc
the piano and played with her accustomed
execution a variety ofpieces, some of them
of q very difficult character.
Then pausing moment, she accom-
panied herself on the instrument with the
words of popular song, after which she
arose and left the piano.
The company were completely taken
by surprise, and this circumstance added
TO the quiet Of the hour which rendered
them more than usually qualified to appre-
ciate and enjoy good music, and led them
perhaps to overrate the skill and ability OF
the musician.
Warm encomiums and 1attering COM
pliments were lavished upon the singer.
who received them with due modestY,
and shortly afterwards retired.
After this. Penelope's musical talents,
as may readily be judged, were frequent
ly called in rcquisition.
1t was about fortnight after this oc-
currence, when Penelope, who had left
directions to forward letters with friend
who was in the secret, received letter
informing her that her sister who had
been abroad was expected daily. and
would probably proceed at once at her re-
sidence.
This made her immediate departure i'm
perative, and so she informed McKim.
Leave me-2n said McTlim, in trou-
bled tone. " You are not dissatisfied, I
trust"
Not at all. But my sisters presence
will render it necessary"
And will you not return 90
/ do not think shall be able, as my
sister will probably wish me to remain
with her"
Mr.. McKim paced the room in some
perturbation, and then suddenly drew up
chair and sat down by Penelope.
IL do not think can give you up"
said he, {" and I have, therefore, another
proposal to make. If you will not stay
with me as housekeeper, will you as a
wife ?"
"This is $3.50 unexpected" MUIR
INJURED Penelope.
Let me make an explanation first, and
then you shall be at liberty to- do as you
please. Know that am possessed of an
independent fortune. and merely assumed
the post of housekeeper to crafty g whim
of my own, and thatthe time. four weeks,
for which had resolved TO keep up the
disguise, has past. Moreover my name
is not Julia MaIcom. but Penelope Pen

This explanation only made Mr.. McKim
press his suit more vehemently, and-in
short, it was only month from that time
that our heroine promised to become a
"house- keeper for life"
