A SPANKING MACHINE.


This is an age of invention, and there is no
knowing what day may bring forth. Promi-
nent educators have for years ransacked their
brains and consumed midnight oil to devise
some method whereby the youthful student, the
urchin with thick soIed pantaloons, could be
chastised as the gravity of his offence might
demand, without lnhicting more severe pun
ishment upon the lady teachers hand than
upon the child. Previous to the invention of
this machine, principals of schools have wept
to see their assistants 20 round with their arms
in sling from the effects Of Furnishing scholars
In many cases excellent teachers who loved
their calling, have been compelled to resign their
positions because they had too much on their
hands.
The matter has been discussed at the various
Institutes, and it had been almost decided to
adopt capital punishment instead of the time
honored taking across the knee, when the in
ventor Of this machine stepped 10, aud, by a
simple device, he saved the lives ofma0y valu-
able young ones The heart of the inventor
her right hand sweled up to the size of can
vas ham from agitating boy who had wickediy
placed piece of clapboard inside of his pants
HuCu ue AUG" Iudl Tue lCdCuSl ndo Uu IGC ndt
path after him. The teacher was weeping ,and
mentally saying she would run that boy through
threshing machine before she got through
with him.
The idea at once struck the inventor that
machine could be constructed that would tan
the jacket as it were of the young reprobate,
and as the result Of careful thought and study
the spanking machine was invented. What a
change! Iustead of dreadiug the task of pun
ishing scholars and shivering at the prospect
of blistered hands, the teacher can enjoy the
performance, and look forward to the hour for
doing up days spanking with feeling of
pleasure and gladneSs, and the frown formerly
stereotyped on the face Of the average school
ma am gives place to an angelic smile.
She seats herself at the instrument, after
placing the condemned urchins in a row within
reach of the hosting apparatus or ice tongs, she
smiles, touches the sDatchbrake with her foot,
and the doomed urchin's launched into-if not
into eternity, he will think so before that hand
let's up on him. With smile playing over
her features she works her tiny feet, the aveng-
iDg hand descends, and the old machine works
as though endowed with life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. 1t will only take mo-
ment of treading to make any ordinary boy
sorry he enlisted, when be can be dropped,
and the next can be snatched. A whole school
can be spanked up 10 fifteen minutes, if the
teacher is anything of treader.

The UMBRELLA AS A ToUcH-S STONE. AS
civilization becomes more and more refined,
the hopes of those who seek after sign by
which gentleman can be intallibly distinguish
ed settle with increasing unanimity about the
umbrella. Really, if We look at it, there is no
other movable article of what we may call
mans vestatory furniture 1--WE invent this word
to cover hnger.rings eyeglasses, cane, sleeve
buttons, knives, pencils, &C., which, of course,
are not clothing) that is so universal an adjunct
to the modern human being as an umbrella.
Everybody must have one, be be or she rich or
poor, high or low, learned or unlearned, lay or
cleric, good or bad. Umbrellas are made cf
every style and shape, and of all degrees Of
costllness, to meet the craving of humanity at
large From Queen Victoria to the King of
Ashantee from MIR. Stewart to the apple
woman, from Gen. Washington to Ben. Butler
or Bill Tweed, everybody feels the need of an
umbrella And the universally of the need
makes the universally of the test. The temp
tatlon to appropriate, annex, convey, or, to put
1t buntly, to steal umbrellas is one from which
no son of Adam is exempt. A man may be
puncilious about returning pennies; he may
walk five miles to return borrowed book or
he may never be known to ask for postage
stamp without paying for it on the spot and
yet he may not be able to resist taking better
umbrella than his own from the rack by mis-
take, and be may be always forgetting to re-
turn the very stylish one he borrowed from a
confding friend on rainy evening. When
phrenology, and physiognomy, and Dress and
reputation fail, the umbrella is an unfailing
sensitive paper to detect the touch of dis
honest hand. If Diogenes had known all
that we know in our day, he would not
have wasted his time tramping about Ath-
ems with lantern to find an honest man.
He would have rolled himself up comfortably
in his big earthen wine jar, with his head on
one of his dogs, and gone to sleep, leaving his
green cotton umbrella leaning up against the
outside Of his tub. b.-Scribner
