come up to our notion of justice or propriety.
1t Is reversing the natural order Of things to
compare great things with small. 1t Is like
lavishing honors upon an aide-ds-camp Of
George Washington, who had attended him at
the battle of Trenton or Yorktown, and omit

countrymen." If the aide-de-camp Is deserving
of glory, surely the general who wins
the fight is deserving Of more. If q man
who saw q great battle and gives an
account of it deserves q dinner, the man
who fights the battle has higher claim, and
merits not only grand banquet, but grand
procession. The Roman generals Of old, who
had fought we'll for their country, were decreed
triumphs by the Senate on their returning from

A IIipp0pOtamus.

Among the recent arrivals at New
York, from Europe, was a living Hip
popOtamus, which was brought there
by the steamer City of Manchester.
The beast endured the voyage with
becoming fortitudc, and landed on our
shores as well, if not better, than
when he left England. He was cordi-
ally received by the throngs of know
ing ones who had anticipated his
coming, and was Immediately trans
ferrcd on board tie steamer De Soto,
which sailed for New Orleans. The
reason for leaving 50 soon was the
fear that the approaching winter
might prove too much for him, as, it
is said, he is extremely sensitive to
changes of temperature On this crea-

party, as he was stalking about the

A SCHOOL INCIDENT.
BY 4 TEACHER.

In the summer Of 1875, was teach
Ing a district school in the village of
w. 1t was 4 pleasant village, situ-
atcd on one Of our wide western prai-
rics, half eucircled by belt of tim
Der, through which ran a large stream.
The school house was neat, commo-
dious building, in the rear of the viii
lagc, on gentle acclivity. Memory
often revcrts to those happy hours
that | spent in that pleasant school
room, and recalls the bright eyes and
happy faces of the dear ones that
gathered around me then and sigh
as | think of the ravages death has
made in that little flock. | think Of
one darling, blue-eycd, gentlc-voiced
little girl, who always wanted to
sing, Il want to be an angel" and
who is now one of that whitc-robcd
band, that chant the praises of the
Lamb, wearing
A crown upon her forehead,
A harp within her hand.
Among my pupils were two Ger
man chldren-IIeinrich and kathc-
rine-who met all my efforts to inter-
est them in study with a stolid indt-
| ference impossible to describe. |
tried every plan that had ever heard
OF, or could possibly invent, but to no
avail they lrouid not learn. Heinrich,
the older, was fair specimen Of Ger
man boys of ten years, with the fair
hair and blue eyes that bespoke his
nativity,--duli and inattcntivc when
called upon to rccitc, but full of mis-
chief and play in school and out
Katherine was lovely child, quiet
and unobtrusive in her department :;
yet there were occasional CLEANS of
intelligence in her clear, blue eye,
that told me that if once awakened
she would soon give evidence of un-
usual talent. Notwithstanding all
my efforts, Heinrich was at that time
but an indifferent reader in the Second
Reader, and katherine had not yet
mastered the alphabet.
One day Heinrich had broken rule
of the school, and after expostulating
with him on his conduct | told him
that if he repeated the offence !
should correct him. Scarcely had an
hour elapsed before he again trans
grcssed the rule. | called him to me,
and told him that, painful as it would
be to teacher and pupil, must cor
rect him as had said | would, and
that the rules Of the school and good
order must he maintained, whatever
painful feelings it would cost.
The usually passive Katherine
sprang from her seat in an agony OF
terror, and implored me not to punish
hlm-that he did not mean to bc DISC
bcdicut, that he would never repeat
the offence, and then, as if suddeny y
rccolIcctmg my anxiety to have her
learn, she added that If | would remit
! his punishment she would try TO learn
as she had never done before. The
look OF earncstnesS announced To me
that she would do as she said and
thought the result might Justify the
experiment. told them, then, thai
that So long as they were studious

and tried very hard to learn, would
remit his punishment but if | dis
covered their former Incidence and in
attention returning, | should punish
him for this offence. A flash of intel.
ligence aud gratitude bcamcd on each
conntcnancc as they thanked me, as
suring me that in the future | should
have 10 reason TO complain. Before
| dismissed school that night, kathc.
rine could name correctly every letter
of the alphabet, and before the week
had expired she commenced to read
| was astonished at her progress
What had commenced in her love for
her brother awakened new life with
her, and she soon learned to study for
the love Of study. She studied inces-
sanity. and soon outstripped compan-
ions of her own age, and before
closed three terms Of school in that
place, she was among the most ad-
vanccd pupils, as we'll as the most
obcdicnt and amiablc.
Heinrich, too, made rapid progress,
and cmulatcd the example of his sis
ter lie became in time fine scholar,
but retained much Of his old spirit of
mischief; yet, though he occasionally
grew restless under restraint, he was
always so honest in coniessing his
faults, and sincere in trying to amend
his ways, that looked upon him as a
very promising student. They are
both still members of the same school,
and their present teacher speaks of
them as its brightest ornaments.

DEEDS OF KINDNESS

Suppose the little Cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, - III such tiny flower
I'd better not grow up
How many weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant smell,
How many little child would grieve
To miss it from the dell.
Suppose the glistening dcwdrop
Upon the grass should say,
What can little dcwdrop do,
I'd better roll away
The blade on which it rested,
Before the day was done,
Without a drop to moistcn it,
Would withcr in the sun.
Suppose the little brcezcs.
Upon the summer day,
Should think themselves too small tc cool
The traveller on his way:
Who would not miss the smallest
And Soitcst ones that blow,
And think they made a great mistake
Ii they were talking 50!
How many deeds of kindness
a little child may do,
Although it has SO little strength,
And little wisdom too
1t wants a loving spirit,
Much more than strength to prove
How many things child may do
For others by his love.
