daughter of an old curmudgeon. whose
brains were made of saw-dust, hog-
lard and molasses, but who, on account
of the spaciousness OF his farm, had been
tor many years at the head of the School
Committee in the district. The colleei-
ans attachment for Sally, Qor that was
the name of the old fellows daughter.
was SO overpowering that all the logic
and philosophy lac had learned in the
school was, compared to the force OF his
| arguments, as chaf in hurricane. But
moi having the where-with-all 10 winter
III the country without resort to employ
ment, he intimated to SALLY that ne
should like TO keep the school in the
district; when the kind-hearted girl in
formed him that her father was Commit

what questions would be put TO him and
| how 10 answer them il he expected TO
| gain the good graces of her father. Ac-
| cOrdIngly, on Sunday evening, the Young
man OF classical lore informed the old
