Taken at his Word.
5i2A few years ago, when it was the Gus
tom for large girls and larger boys to- at
tend district schools, an incident took
place in a neighboring town, which is
worth recording.
One of the fairest and plhmpest girls
of the'school happened ato violate one Of
the teachers : rulessaiThe MASTER a
prompt, energetic fellow Of, twenty five
summoned her into the middle of the
floor After interrogating the girl a few
moments, the master Numbered out: g
Il sWil you give me your hand?''
5i"Yes, sir, and my heart, too, . prompt
ly replied the girl, at the same time
stretching forth her hand to the master
and eyeing him with cunning look. A
death-hke silence reigned for a moment
in the school; tear was seen to aglister
in the masters eye;, the ruler was laid
upon the desk, and the blushing girl was
requested to take her seat, but to remain
after the school dismissed. I'm three
weeks after the school finished, the
teacher and the girl were married.

.Anecdote lof prof. Grimm.l

The. pleasant Professor Jacob Grimm lnnl
tells with glee the following pretty anec,
| dote: -
A child Of about years of age, and
bearing upon her person and dress the
stamp of good family and position:
rang one day at his door, and informed
the servant that she desired to SPEAK to
the aHerr Professor Supposing hel
to bring a message, ,she led her to the
Doctors study, who gently inquired her
errand. ,.--t..r.. ..
ton, a"who hast written those fine Mar
}chen? (fairy talesl'9 .agiss.gz. b esf.es
;"Yes, my dear" replied the Doctor,
;"smy brother and ! have written the

E19sThen thou hast also written the tale
Of Yhe Clever Little Tailor, where it is
said atthe end, Who will not believe il
must pay thaler?'" p; r. ...s..E.
ayes, l have written that, too" p.
I "Well, then, I do not believe it, and
so I suppose 1 have to pay thaler; but
as I have not so much money now, I'll
give thee groschen, on account, and
pay the rest by and by
The Doctor was, as may be supposed,
not little amused at this literal under
standing of the humorous conclusion to
his -sprightly story, and learning the
name of his little reader, sent her care
fully home. -..-
