weight proved too much for the lads,
and the crank of the windlass slipping
from their grasp, the Learning of our
district went whirling to the bottom
with laundering noise betitting such
an exit. This was more than we bar
gained for. Had we really murdered
the master? Bob and Bill, assisted by
the stoutest, began pulling up the unfor-
tunate old fellow. 1t was hard work,
and tugging at the windlass they just
caught glimpse of his blonde head
when wild cry of &" fire |" caused them
to let go, and again the venerable Bangs
ratified down with splash in the
water.
The schoolhouse was on fire; the
chunks pulled out by the boys had COM
municated to the floor, and the dry old
concern was in blaze. A few neigh
bors, who just then arrived, gave the
alarm, and attempted to extinguish the
flames. To do this they called for water,
and the first bucket brought up con-
tanned the vanquisbed teacher of read
ing, writing, and arithmetic. He came
up with his teeth chattering, and when
lifted out and united was too weak to
stand or sit.
The school-house burned down. The
master was carried to neighbor's heuse,
and for weeks hung between life and
death. We were regarded as heroes by
the country side, and in the burning of
our place of torture and the sickness of
the master, we we're the happiest set of
little animals in the world.
1t is a long time, am sorry to say,
since then, and most of the actors in
the drama have passed away. Bob, one
of our gallant leaders, is now a well to
do farmer in Illinois while Bill fell in
the bloody fight at Stone River.-Don

"Consider Me Smith,

A good story is told of DIR. Caldwell,
formerly of the University of North
Carolina.
The doctor was a small man, and lean,
but hard and angular as the most ir-
regular of pine knots.
He looked as though he might be
tough, but did not seem strong. Never
theless, he was among the knowing
ones, as agile as a cat, and in addition,
was by no means deficient in knowl-
edge Of the "manly art"
Well. in the Freshmen Glass of a cer-
tain year was a burly beef mountaineer
of eighteen or nineteen. This genius
conceived great contempt for old
Bolus's physical dimensions, and his
soul was herrified that one SO deficient
IN muscle should be 80 potential in his
rule. fr
Poor Jones, that is what we call him,
had no idea of moral force. AT any
rate, he was not inclined to knock un-
der and be controlled despotically by
man he imagined he could tie and
whip. At length he determined to
give the old gentleman a genteel private
thrashing, some night, in the College
Campus, pretending to mistake him for
some fellow student. 10 :. .s..s
Shortly after, on dark and rainy
night, Jones met the doctor crossing
the Campus. Walking up to him, alb
ruptly: t, -;
t. Hello, Smith, you rascal p' = " -
And with that he struck the old gem
tleman blow on the side of the face
that nearly felled hln.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squared
himself, and at it they went. Jones's
youth, weight, and muscle made him
an ugly customer, but after a round or
two the doctors science began to tell,
and in short time he had knocked his
antagonist down, and was astraddle OF
his chest, with one hand on his throat,
and the other dealing vigorous cuffs ON
the side of the head. .;-,

NObOdy's Darling.

Little and pallid, and poor and shy,
With downcast look in her soft gray eye;
70 scornful toss of queenIy head,
But dropping bend of the neck instead:
no ringing laugh. and no dancing feet,
20 subtle wiles and abandon sweet
No Jewels costly, no garments fine
She Is noboay's darling but minei -
No Dolly Warden" coquettish airs;
No high-heoled boots to throw her down stairs
No yachting jacket and nautical style,
With a sailer's hat that she calls her tile"
But Lady" is stamped on her quiet brow;
And she crept in my heart can't tell how;
Not made to dazSle-not born to shine
Nobody's-nebody's darling-but minel
No saucy, ravishing. girlish grace
But settled calm on the sweet, pale face;
No sparkling chatter and repartee; -
Very silent and still is she.
W hlte and still is my pearl of pearls,
ct to me she seemeth the queen of girls:
Why love her can't define,
For she's nobody's-nobody's darling but minol
We're riches hers. or a beauty rare, -.
She would lose her charm, and become less
fair;
Were rings to shine on those fingers small
They could not add to their grace at all;
She would learn to smile and to speak by rule,
In the foolish book of Dame Fashions SC Iool;
and the world to spoil her would soon combine.
NO'o she's nobody's darling-but minel

fall on this stone shall be broken, but
on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind

Republicans, what moro could you
ask than the Cincinnati platform and
Horace Greeley2
Is there any Democrat who halts and
doubts as to his course2 Is there any
who fears for his consistency or doubts
the duty of patriotism 1 love the
Democratic party; 1 know its courage,
1 know its purity; 1 believe in its prin-
ciples; l revere its wisdom; when it
speaks will obey. "All men are wiser
than one man" When its wisdom and
purity shall point out the course and
lead the way, what Democrat shall say
he cannot tread that path with honor
and consistency When its patriotism
shall counsel, what Democrat shall say
he is too pure to follow the advice !?
When its lofty spirit shall Danish parti-
san pride, what Democrat shall say he
is too proud to follow the example? I
do not expect Mr.. Greeley, if elected,
to give Us partisan Administration. l
would not respect him if he should do
so; it would be contrary to the spirit of
this movement; but he has promised
that he will restore true fraternal af-
fection to all our people; that he will
give US purity and honesty in admins
tration, and it is folly to refuse these
because we can obtain no more. He
has himself said-I use his words:
"That subject to our solemn consti-
tutional obligation to maintain the equal
rights of all citizens, our policy should
aim at local selfgovernment, and not
at centralization that the civil author
ity should be esupreme over the military;
that the writ of ha6e0S corpus should be
iealously upheld as the safeguard of
personal freedom; that the individual
citizen should enjoy the largest liberty
consistent with public order; and that
there should be no Federal supervision
of the internal polity of the several
States and municipalities, but that each
shall be left free to enforce the rights
and promote the well-being of its in
habitants by such means as the judg-
ment Of its own people shall prescribe"
These will save the Republic, these
will preserve free government. Time
and the future will do the rest. l can
not foreteH the future. The signs are
all encouraging. If we succeed, we
shall have secured good government.
But if, in the providence of God, we
should fail now, fellow Democrats, we
will have the consciousness that we
have done good deed that we have
made heroic struggle; that we have
honored our party in obeying its high
est teachings, and the pains of defeat
and ensuing disaster will be mitigated
by the thought that we have done all
in our power to deserve and command
success.
