That School Visitor.

l have been sendin' my darter Nancy
to skool, and last Friday / went over to
the skool to see how she was gettin'
along, and seed things didn't like by
no means. The skoolmaster was larn-
in her things entirely out of the line of
eddycashun, and, as 1 think, improper.
1 set while in the skool house, and
heerd one class say their lesson. The
lesson that Nancy said was nuthin' but
the foolishest kind of talk; the redick-
list word she said was 81 love-" l
looked right at her for bein' so improp-
er, but she went right on and sed, .thou
lowest and he loves" And 1 reckon YOU
never heerd such rigmarole in your
life-love, love, and nuthin' but lsve.
She said one time, II did love-" Sez /,
"Who did you loves, The skollars
LATED, but l wasn't to be put of, and
sed, 'Who did you love, Nancy ?" The
skOol-master sed he would explain af-
ter Nancy had finished the lesson. This
sorter pacified me, and Nancy went on
with her awful love talk. 1t got wus
and wus every word. She said, 81
might coHldor would love-" 1 stopped
her again, and sed reckoned l would
see about that, and told her to walk out
of that house. The skoolmaster tried
interfere, but l wonld not let him say a
word. He sed was fool, and nokt
him down, and made him holler in
short order. 1 talked the strate thing
to him. told him I'd show him how
he'd larn my darter grammar. 1 got the
nabors together, and we sent him off in
hurry, and I'll reckon there'll be no
more grammar teachin' in these parts
soon.

A Point Carefully Stated.

A New Orleans paper tells of an am
bitieus young debater in village So
ciety who propounded this abtrusc CO.
nundrum: s'EfTr man plants water
million seed next to his fence; and this
ere watermillion seed sprouts up Into
= watemillion vine; and this watermil-
lion vine grows, and meanders through
that 'ere fence into another mans lot
and in that other mans lot
so adjacent, that ere watermillion vine
that sprouted from that ere watermil-
lion seed and meandered through that
'ar fence into this ere other mans lot
adjacent; tharin csnsolidates and ho-
mologates into watsrmillion, the ques-
ton, feller-citizens and ladies, is: To
which OF these 'ere men did that AR wa
so homologated and promul-
gated, belong? to the man who planted
that ERE watermillion seed that mean
dered through that ar fence into this
ERE mans lot adjacent, and thar so con-
solidated into watermillion-or to the
man who owns this ere lot so adjacent,
whar was so promulgated the water
million that SO exergitated from that
FAR watermillien vine that meandered
through this ere fence, and so sproutetl
from that ar watermillion seed that ere
man planted?"

The First Tooth.

Mr.. and Mrs. HARRISON had just fin
ished breakfast. Mr.. HARRISON had just
pushed back, and was looking under
the lounge for his boots. Mrs. H. sat at
the table holding the infant Harrison,
and mechanically working her fore
finger in its mouth. Suddenly she paus-
ed in her motion, threw the astonished
child on its back, turned as white as
sheet, pried open its mouth, and imme-
diately gasped, "Ephraim." Mr.. Har-
bison, who was on his knees with his
head under the lounge, at once came
forth, rapping his head sharply on the
side Of the lounge as he did so, and get
ting on his feet inquired what was the
matter. "Oh, Ephraim," said she, the
tears rolling down her cheeks, and
smiles coursing up, "Why, what, Ara
mathea?" said the astenished Mr.. Har-
bison, smartly rubbing his head where
it had come in contact with the lounge.
"Baby-"she gasped. Mr.. HARRISON
turned pale and commenced to sweat.
"Baby has-O, o, o, Ephraiml Baby
has-baby has got a tosthp' sNow
screamed Mr.. HARRISON, spreading his
legs apart, dropping his chin and star
ing at the struggling heir with all his
might. ''Ftell you it's" persisted Mrs.
H., with a slight evidence of hysteria.
80, o, it can't be-" protested Mr.. H.,
to swear if it wasn't. "Come
here, and see for YOURSELF" said Mrs.
HARRISON. "Open it's cittle mousy
pousy for its own muzzer. That's a
toody :wosdy; that's a little Jump o.
sugar." Thus conjured the heir open
ed its mouth sufficiently for the author
Of its being to thrust in his finger, and
that gentleman having convinced him.
self by the indubitable evidence that
tooth was there, Immediately kicked his
hat across the room, buried his fist in
the lounge, and declared with much
feeling and vehemence that he could
lick the individual who would dare to
intimate that he was not the happiest
man ON the face OF the earth. Then he
gave Mrs. Fl. hearty smack on the
mouth, and snatched up the heir, while
that lady rushed tremblingly forth af-
ter Mrs. Simmons, who lived next door.
In moment Mrs. Simmons came tear
ing in as if she had been elected from
two guns. Mrs. Simmons at once |
the heir from the arms of Mr.. |
Il. and hurried it to the window where |
she made hasty examination of its |
mouth, while Mrs. II. held its head,
and tried to still the throbbing of her |
heart, and Mr.. H. danced up and down
and snapped his fingers to show how
,alm he was. 1t having been ascertain

event of the morning and inviting them
