THE SMART LITTLE GIRL.-In a
school way down in Dixie, whose
teacher rather prided himself upon his
skill in imparting to his pupils cor
rect knowledge of spelling, upon GER
tain exhibition day, when the trustees
and parents were in attendance upon
the exercise, the whole school was put
through a course of spelling. The
word aaron was given out by a visit
or. After numerous comic attempts at
it, it was correctly rendered by a little
girl who blated out:
"Big A; little n-Aaron."
In the course Of few moments all
went gaily as marriage bell, every
word being spelled correctly. At last
some one gave out the word gallery.
This was a poser, being out of the
track of words spelled in the classes.
Many unsuccessful attempts having
been made, rough urchin, whose eyes
fairly twinkled with the expected tri-
umph, spoke out in clear, ringing ac-
cents, mindful Of the previous victory:
