"Miss Vesta Howard's school in district
No. 6 in Bethel, was Of so interesting
character in its features, that have been
induced to write out my notes in tull oi
my visit there.
Miss Howard is now 90 years old. and
has taught 20 different terms public and
private schools. Her activity. quick per-
cepton, economy of time, and power OF
drawing out and impartihg instruction
are truly marvellous. Instead of being an-
tiquated, she is far in advance ofmost

by saying that she did not think it best to

their names and ages. Among them was
Winfield Scott, Gen. Fremont and other
prominent names, and as they were an

history, without scarcely stopping her

Death O., the Stake,

1t Is not quite certain, says a writer in
Packard's Monthly, that dying at the
stake is intensely painful after the first
scorch of the flames. II it were, it is
hardly possible 10 account for the endur-
ance of some of the English martyrs.
Bishop Hooper lived in the fire forty-fve
minutes, and died with perfect calmness.
His legs were charred and his body
blistered before the pile was entirely
ignited-the wind having blown the
flames aside and the fire having been
twice re-fed with faggots. Ridley at first
struggled in agony, but afterwar'l be-
came quiet, as if the sense of pain were
gone. Robert Smith being well-nigh
half burned, and clustered together like
black Goals, suddenly rose upright before
the crowd, lifted up his aims, as If in
defiance of his enemies, and clappcd his
hands together. Indeed it is not certain
that excessive bodily pain does not end
toward death in positive pleasure. Nearly
all the martyrs, whether Catholic or
Protegtants, succumbed at first, and
afterward were either patient or fall Of
rapture. 1t is recorded of Theodosius, OF
Bythinia, who was so exquisitelv tortured
for his religion that he nearly died, that,
when asked how il was possible to endure
such torment, he replied, ''At first ! felt
some pain, but ut once there stood by no
young person who wiped away my
sweat and So Refreshed me with cold
water hat no longer suffered"
The groans and screams OF the wounded
and dying on The battlefield are well
enough in poetry, bu, have no existence
As matter Of fact. An exclamation III
An ordinlry tone Of voice upon first being
shot, i request made TO a comradc to be
.helped out Of the way. and sigh or two,
long drawn, as the breath leaves the
body, sam up the noise made by the dying
from the wounds received in battle.

DOUBLE BEDs.-Miss Anthony meets

DOUBLE BEDs.-Miss Anthony meets
with many rebuffs in endeavorlng to es-
tablish her newly espou sed doctrine that
..cvery man, woman, and child should
have bed to themselves" The idea is
especially unpopular with the fair SEX
The Missouri Democrat thinks that in some
cases double beds may be quite undesira-
ble in others not. For example, Its edi'
tors suspect that Miss Anthony's husband
if she had one, would heartily second her
motion. But some other couples might
he equally unanimous in opposing her
proposition. Since nobody-so far as we
know-has the slightest idea ofrestricting
her absolute freedom to buy single beds
if she likes, pray why need she restrict
the freedom of any other woman? We
believe most heartily, in the right ofeyery
woman to buy single bed If she likes,
bu, if she does not like, shall she not also
be free? The 'tyrant man," it is possible,
NAV seem I'D sOllt lO VI cN ch ioe hotai'iy
despotic than the tyrant Anthony woman.
Now ii any really prefer TO buy double
beds when .'just going to housekeeping.
we maintain that they have an absolute,
iudefeasihe and unaiienable right to do
so. and We presume they will rally as one
woman 10 defend and maintain that right.
Moreover, it any of them tell Miss An
thony that her experience does not justify
her in directing household arrangements
of anybody besides herself, we shall say
that the hit, if sharp, WAS not undeserved.
And ii any young wife takes down Esop
from the library and reads the advice OF
the poor fox who had been deprived offs
brush TO the other foxes who had not
been so unlucky, it may occur 10 her that
the queer old story-tcller knew something
of human nature.

ALL ARE BUILDERS.

All are architects OF fate,
Working in these walls Of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments Of rhyme.
Nothing useless is or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show,
Strengthens aud supports the rest
For the structure that We raise,
Time is with materials filled;
our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which We build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yearning gaps between;
Think no, because no man sees,
such things viii remain unseen.
In the elder days of art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Zach minute and unseen part;
For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work rs wen,
Both the unseen and the sesn;
Make the house where gods may dwell
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are Incomplete,
Standing in these walls Of time
Broken s,airvays where the feet
Stumble as they seek 90 climb.
Build to-day, then, strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and securing
shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can No attain
To these turrets where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain.
And one boundless reach of sky.
