THE LAST DAY.
BY EMlLY GOD REY Z.

The long, wearisome term is over. No
more study ing where dali headache and
feverish heart oppress the student-no
more compositions, no more reprimands,
no more restraints-for school is over, and
all are going home.
They stand, for the last time, in the
cid familiar parlor-that happy group of
girls and boys, who have been so happy
here together. They look out of the win
dow, and see the yellow-eovered stage
standing at the door of the post-office across
the road. They smile family at each 9TH
er. and say something of the pleasant day
for journey they are having. But it will
not do. They begin to realize that they
are separating-perhaps forever--apd they
cannot be gay in the face of the par
ting.
The preceptor comes in, and bids them
"good bye," one after another. They
have often murmured against him, and
thought him harsh and severe. but that is
forgotten now, and they stand around him
in sad silence to catch his parting words
of advice. And when his voice grows
hoarss and trembling as he says "God
bless you, "and hurries from the room, a
sudden love for him springs up in every
heart, and never dies away again.
Some one sets down to the piano and
steikes few rich chords. They gather
around her. She looks up at a handsome
young man. with soft blue eyes and sunny
hair. He is not looking at her, but at a
book on the piano. A shadow, like pain
fits over her face, and she begins to sing
that sweet old song that has thrilled so
many hearts
"When shall we meet again
Meet ne'er to sever?
Ali join with her--there are suppressed
sobs among some of the girls, and many
eyes are dim. But the youth with blue
eyes and sunny hair is quiet and un-
moved.
The yellow stage comes dashing up to
the door. followed by some dozen carriag-
es of all sizes and descriptions, just as
the song is finished. Then comes the
hurry and hustle of departure. They have
little time for farewells. A hasty kiss-a
promise to write soon,' and all Is over
In few days they will look back upon
that time. and wonder they could have
said SO little. when thep felt SO much
But they are but boys and girls of six
teen now. Time will teach the men and
women to say much and mean little, in the
days that are to comes.
One by one, and two by two, the weep
ing groups break up. How strange and
still the house seems now that they are all
gone. And yet not all. Two still remain
to say good-bye-the youth with sunny
hair. and the girl who played and sang
How earnestly her eyes are bent upon him
now-and how ftfully the color comes and
goes upon her cheek, as he comes close
Beside her.
They go sadly around among the rooms
to take last look at the old familiar pla-
ces. Neither of them are coming back
again--they can have only menory of
the old school in future. They pass ST.
lently through the long hall, and down the
front stairs, and so back to the reception
roam" once more. They see the names
of their departed companions penciled on
wall and window -sill!--they try to smile,
but almost weep instead.

WAY to Detect a Thief.


American Statesman, was very humorous
and jocose parsonage.
As.he was once journeying m Massachu-
sets, not far from his native town. he
stopped late one night at an inn in the vii
lage of . In the bar-room were
about twenty persons, who called out TO
him to discover thief.
One of the company, it appeared had
watch taken from his pocket few minutes
before, and he knew the offender must be
in the room with them.
'Fasten all the doors of the room--let no
one leave it, said Mr.. Webster, and here.
landlord go and bring your wife's great
brass kettle
Boniface did as commanded The great
brass kettle was placed in the middle of the
floor bottom up-as black and sooty, and
smoky as the chimney back.
You don't want hot water nor nothing
to take off the bristles on the criiter do
you sqiure?' said the landlord--the prepa-
rations looking too much like hog killing.
go to your barn and bring me the big
gest cockriil you've got.'
Boniface went to the barn and soon re-
turned with tremendous great rooster
cackling like mad.
The old rooster was thrown under the
inverted kettle and the lamp blown out.
Now, gentlemen. don't suppose the
thief is in here, bat if he is the rooster will
crow when the offender touches the bottom:
of the great kettle with his hands. Walk
around in circle and the cock will make
known the watch stealer. The innocent
need not be afraid you know
The company, then. to humor him and
carry out the joke. walked around the ket-
tie in the dark for few minutes.
All done, gentleman
'All done,' was the cry-'where's your
crowing--we heard no cock-adoodle doc"
"Bring US light"
A light was brought as ordered.
"Now hold your up hands. good folks"
One held up his hands after another
they were of course black, from coming in
contact with the SCOT of the kettle.
''All up?'
"All up. was the reponse.
"All black
"A-ll don't know. here's one fellow
who hasn't held up his hands"
"Ah, ha, my old boy! lets take peep at
your paws?''
They were examined and were not black
like those of the rest of the company.
you'll find your wa tch concealed about
him; search him."
And so it proved This fellow, not be-
ing aware any more than the rest, of the
trap that was set for the discovery of the
thief, had kept aioof from the kettle, lest
when he touched it the Growing of the roos-
ter should proclaim him as the thief.
AS the hands of all the others were
blackened, the whiteness of his own, of
course showed that he dared not touch the
old btasskettle, and that he vas the thief
He was lodged in proper custody pre-
paratory to being sent to Jail.

By order of the State Board, at its recent
session, the Branches are restricted in their
discount line to twice and half their CAPT
tai actually paid in, and are instructed, in
addition to their Eastern exchange, to keep
constantly in their vaults an amount OF coin
eoual to one-third Of their circulation.
With this statement of the condition OF the
Bank. and the action of the Board of Control
upon the two points most interesting to the
public, the claims of the Bank to the conf
dence of the people might safely rest. mas
much, however, as the Bank, from its organi-
zation to the present moment. has been as
sailed with yindictiveness and pertnacity,
indicating more of personal malice than re-
gard for the interests of the people, and as
these attacks are calculated to injnre the In
,sitution, where the character of the chief as

is action are not understood, it may be pro-
or for me to avail myself of this opportu-
nity-the only one shall ever take-to define,
