That IL The Question.

"A teacher in western country in
Canada while making his first visit to
his "constituents," came into conversa-
ton with an eminent Vermont lady,
who had taken up her residence in the
.'back wood" OF course the school and
former teacher came in for criticism, and
the old lady, in speaking of his prede-
cessor, asked Wa'al, master, what
do you think he learned the scholars ?''
II couldn't say, ma, am. Pray what
did he teach?" "Wa'al, he told them
this ere earth was round what do you
think ofsuch stuff" Unwilling to come
dnder the tegory of the Ignorant, the
teacher evasively remarked: 1T does
seem strange, but still there are many
learned men who teach these things"
"Wa'al," says she, "if the earth ia
round, and goes round what holds it up?
"Oh, these learned men say that it goes
round the sun. and the sun holds il UP
by virtue OF attraction" The old lady
lowered her ''specs," J" and by way of eli
max responded :-"Wa'al, if these high
larnt men sez the sun holds up the artn.
