Verdict Of a Jury d. BOYS.


When DIR. Nathaniel Prentice taught a
public school in Rozbury he was very much
of favorite, but his patience at times would
get nearly exhausted by the intraction of
school rules by the scholars, On one ,occa-ss
sion: 10 a.rather Wrathy way, he threatened
to punish, with six blows of heavy ferule,
the first boy detected in whispering, and ap>s
pointed some as detectors. Shortly after, one
of these detectors shouted,4
''Master, Ziegler is Whispering .
John was called up and asked If It was a
fact. (John, by the way, was a fayorite, both

eyes, answered Johu, 81 was not aware
of what was about, was intent on work,

The doctor regretted his hasty threat, but
told John he could not suffer him to whisper
and escape the punishment, and continued

- One of the consequences of advertising
for correspondence with view to matri>
mony, ~ aud answering such foolish sdvertise-
ments, has been that brother and sister be-
longing in Louisville lately fell in love with
each other by this epistolary process, aud the
DAY had been named for their marriage
They had been separeted for some years, and
though photographs we're exchanged. they
did not recognize each other until they finally
exchanged their real names OF course there
was much disappointment when the precious
pair found they had been wasting their aFec-
tions on each other.

THE DEPARTING PASTOR.

Go, thou Sc rvent of The Highest;
Go, ,thou tried and steadiast one;
Up the marshaled ranks uofal terinr
Bear thy Masters banner on
messenger of G cd among US,
Faithful watchnan hast thou been:
Sounding loud and clear the trumpet,
Winning souls from death and sin.
Can we in the sacred temple
Where we oft have met with thee,
Ever learn;to worship gladly
When thy face we no more see:
Ahl what other hand will lead US,
Checking when we go astrsys
Who will sound the note of warninrs
'sIo so-eieariy point the way
Yet it is the Master calls thee,
And we dare not bid thee stay;
Dare not lay a human sorrow
In His conquering chRriot's way.
Go, and bear to other spirits
ALI :hat thou hast brought to uss;
Speed the sound of free salvation
And the grasp Of Satan loose.
Ia the field thy God appointeth
Gather thou the precious sheaves;
Till on high the Master calls thee
And from thee His own receives.

Domestic Scandal Stop It.

There is one foibIe among housokoepers
that cannot be too severely reprobated. tits
contemptlble itching for knowledge of
their neignbors' affairs. This curiosity leads
come to encourage and listen to the scanda-
lous pratsle of their own servants concerning
the domestic affairs of other families in which
they have been employed.
Servants are always ready to take adyau-
tage of the slightest advance towards famil,
iarity on tho part Of the mistress and when
they find one weak enough to relish relation
of the vices and folIies of Others, the appetite
will always be ministered to, SO long as a pro,
life brain can coin falsehood. Mistresses
should recollect, while encouraging this prac.
tice, that their own househod affairs win
probably be served up, with no less exaggera-
tiou or defect. whenever their dounestics pass
into another family. And where is the REM
edy for this evil 1t lies in the hands Of
every head of family. This tattliog ten
dcncy should be stopped ct everg commence-
ment; and if a refusal to listen to the scan
dalous catalogue of private weakness or error
we're accompanied by severe reprinand, so-
ciety would be more benefited. ~
