was pronounced by his teacher as al
''incorrigible" one. Chatterton was
dismissed from his school by his
master, who, finding himself unable
to teach him anything in a satisfac-
tory manner, settled it that the boy
was a "fool."
Teachers are apt to become impa-
tient over dull scholars, and predict
of them that they will never come to
anything Such mcalled for pro
phesies ought to discourage no schol-
ar who tries to 60 well. A certain
Edinburg Professor once pronounced
upon a student he his severe opiu-
ion: Ounce you are, and Ounce you
will ever remain That student
was Sir Walter Scott.
If dull boy feels an inspiration
stirring within to do something wor-
thy in literature, science or art, let
him set his face as flint toward his
object; let him be patient, hopeful
and self-reliant, unmovcd by laugh
ter, undiscouraged by evil prophe
sizes. Exchange.

IN PREDIcAMENT

1t is very pleasant to be in love
sometimes but quite annoying when
the tender feeling is accompanied by
those petty drawbacks which are
sure to follow parental hostility
Such at least is the experience Of
Mr.. August Kleine, youth whose
heart has softened and brain grown
dizzy beneath the smiles of an Erato
street belle Some how or other
father won't listen to his suit, and
clandestine interviews have taken
place in a vacant lot in the rear of
her residence. Seated OF a bench,
close up to the fence, they bill and
COO fearless, as two gentle turtle
doves. But one evening, lately,
their stolen interviews were discov
cred by the girls brother, malig-
nant little wretch, who out of their
love determined to extract some fun
for himself. With this end in view,
he watched for their next meeting,
and when they were comfortably
seated on the bench he managed,
without exciting their suspicious, to
draw the gentleman's coat tail and
part of the lady's dress through a
crack in the fence and fasten them
to post
This accomplished, he retired /
few PAGES, and then screamed Justify
for father. At the first screech thu
lovers started to run, but the pos
held them fast.
'"Let me go!" pleaded the lady.
The gentleman, quicker in expe
dents, threw his coat off and bound
ed away. Now, the lady coutdn
pull of her cOat-neither could sh
unloose it; her lover had left her
brother stilIed screamed, and she
! like an ambitious dray horse, sti
tugged at the obdurate post.
: The old man was by this tim
heard approaching. The affai
cried haste and speed must answe
, it. But one course was left. :
desperate pull tore the dress loose a
the waist, and skeleton clad figure
a fled wildly across the lot
Somehow or other the lovers
, haven't met since.-Picayt'ae.

STATE AND COUNTY FAIRS.

One of the best indications of health
full progress of the country is tht
marked and enthusiastic interest tax
en- by all classes in State and County
agricultural fairs. These associations
have grown so numerous that almost
every considerable community has
! its own, while the State organiza-
tons have concentrated the most
valuable portions of them all. A
most laudable and useful end is sub
served by bringing samples of pro-
auctions of all kinds together for
comparison and inspection. tits an
honorable spirit of emulation that
completes for supre macy in "A field
where the purpose is of far greater
Importance than the prize bestowed.
Not only are samples of grain of all
kinds brought together. but the
merits of each, and the advantages
of new varieties, are practically dis
cussed. More has been done in this
way to spread the varieties, of fruit
over the country than by any other
process. The effect of climate in
modifying agricultural productions,
and the special adaptation of soils to
particular classes of vegetation, are
matters too much neglected, and
were it not for occasions, would be
generally totally overlooked.
Agricultural papers are doing a
great work in this way, but a single
demonstration goes farther in salts
tying the mind than any amount of
reading and theorizing, valuable as
that may be. The improvements in
breeds Of stock resulting from these
exhibitions has probably proved of
even more value to public interests
than in vegetable production, but
the whole combined results already
achieved can scarcely be estimated.
In the department of machinery a
standard is ordinarily furnished by
which to measure the advances of
each year; and, to the intelligent
mind, nothing can be more enconr-
aging than these gains in useful me-
chanism. Inventors are moving the
world, and the crude creations of
one seasons foreshadow the triumphs
Of the next. Without public fairs
each of these worthy and most use
full men would have to rely on his
own personal efforts to bring new
devices to the attention of the pub
lie. Finally, and bjno means the
least pleasant features, a fair is the
farmers holiday social gathering,
exciting and instructive; reunion,
where neighbors and friends, long
separated and far apart, meet, dis
cuss, compare successes and failures,
and gather OF each other the ripe
fruits of experience. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that these civilizing
agencies will SO spread that no couu-
ty, community or State will be with
out them. The attendance upon
them should be universal.
