! Knew She Would.

Deacon W. was staid and honest Baptist dea-
con in one of the int iior towns in Maine, who
had a vein of dry, caustic humor in his compost
tion The deacon had boy of some doz en- sum-
mers, who was sometimes inclined to be little
ngly when not under the parental eye. Espe
cialy in school John was source of constant
annoyance to the teacher. One day the teac her
whipped him for some sort of misdemeano or, and
j Ohm went home crying to enter his complaint,
and told his father the mistress had whipped
him. ssWhat!'' said the deacon, eevating his
eyebrows, sheen whipped?'' ssY IA So SOB
bed the boy. ssAnd did you let woman whip
yen 20 shouted the old deacon. ssY-a-a-s,
couldn't help it, "Well, John, you little ras-
cal. YOU go to school tomorrow, and il Miss
undertakes to whip You again. you jest pitch in
don't let woman whip you If yon can help it.
DON'T take any stick to strike with, but ye may
kick and strike as much as ye're mind to-
The next day the boy went to school, and en-
bolden by the permission given by his father,
was soop brought before the tribunal OF violated
rules. The teacher undertook to correct him,
and he did as his father had told him. The re-
suit wss that John got most unmerciful trounc-
ing, and was thoroughly subdued. When he
went home he went to his father crying "Well.
dad, got an awful licking to-day.'' ssWhat,''
said the old deacon, have We let that woman whip
you again ?'' tY-a-a-s,'' whimpered John. ssI
kicked her, struck her. and fit her all l could,
but she damned me orfully - ssAha % chuckled
the humorous old deacon, ssyou tarnal little
fool, knew she would, and she'll give We
trOuncing every time she undertakes it, and I
advise you to behave yourself in future" John
began to have some perception of his fathers
motive, aud ever after was sadder and wise
boy.

And laugh beneath their humble she'd.

TRANSIENT YOUNG MEN.-Girls, beware of tram
sient young men; never suffer the addresses of
stranger; recollect that one steady farmer
boy or mechanic is worth all the floating trash
in he world. The allurements of dandy Jack
with gold chain about his neck, walking
stick in his paw, some honest tailor's coat on
his back, and brainless skull. can never make
up the loss of fathers house and good moth
er's counsel, and the society of brothers and
sisters their affections last, while those of
such a young man are lost in the waHe of
the honey moon. 'Tis true.

marks, "those unconquerable difficulties
of carelessness and w%iIfulness to contend
against" Certain instances of the for
mer are regarded by him as a crime that
ought to be severely punished. He
says
Reading in bed is a frightfal source of
fires, and with the knowledge we have,
and the instance of its pernicious effects
continually occurring, it cannot be called
other than wilIfuI it certainly is not
carelessness. The recklessness with
which candles, l%ucifers, gas, the infam-
mable oils, and other easily kindled
materials are used and treated in every
day life, can scarcely be called careless
ness now that the danger arising from
their improper treatment is known and
too much caution cannot be taken in
their use to prevent mischief.
Were it always the case that the re-
suits of carelessness and %wilfulness af-
fected the causes of it only, there would
not be so much to fear ; but as it is rare
Iy the case they stop here, it becomes all
the more important to guard against
them. In some cases, such for instance
as the absurd practice of initiating the
dresses Of the female sex by crinollne
and other contrivances, in spite of the
danger SO constantly and appallingly
manifested, it is seldom that the effects
extend beyond the offender when the
dress becomes ignited !; but it may be
taken as an established fact that in all
others the effects spread, unless prompt
ly checked, to a very serious extent, and
frequently to one beyond control.
(To be continued)
