sets, an old man who has never been off
the island, and the extent of his knowl-
edge is bounded by the confines of his
home. He has been told of war be-
tween the North and South, but as he
has never heard the din of battle, nor
seen any soldiers, he considered it q
hoax. He is utterly unable to read, and
is ignorant to the last degree An ex-
eellent story is told of his only and last
day at school He was quite lad when
lady came to the district where his IA
Their resided to teach school. He was
sent, and as the teacher was classifying
the school, he was called up in his turn
and Intercepted IS to his former stud
les. Of course he had to say he had
never been to school, and knew none of
his letters. The schoolmistress gave
him seat on one side until she had
finished the preliminary examination of
the other scholars. She then called him
to her, and drew on the blackboard the
letter A, told him what it was, and wish
ed him to remember how it looked. He
looked at it moment, and then inquir-
ed Che stut.ered):
H-h-how do you know its AZ"
The teacher replied that when she was
girl she had been to school to an old
gentleman who told her so.
The boy eyed the A for a moment and
then asked, H-h-how did he know
This was almost sumner, but the
teacher suddenly recollected that he had
told her that when boy he had been to
school to lady who taught him that it
was A. spacaa
The boy eyed the letter little longer,
when he burst out with, " H-h-how did
be know but she l.l-lied2"
The teacher could not get over this
obstacle, and the poor Boy was sent
home as incorrigible. $3.50
