No SCHOoLMAsTER WANTED.-Some
years ago some emigrants from Ohio and
Illinois settled in little town in this State
and soon began to agitate for the erection
of q school house and the employment of a
te acher. A town-mseting was called to
consider the proposition and one of the
Northerners made neat little speech, tell
ing of the blessings which education had
brought with it to Ohio and Illinois. When
he had sat down an old man in the corner
arose, gave the customary hitch to his cor
duroys, pushed back his hat a tri1e and
answered thus: Stranger, up in yer
Ohio State you've got a big pcnitentiary
full of people h'aint yers Well, yer've
got larnin' up tharl Up in yer Illinois
State yer've got big penitentiary full of

"Wa'al, when the wheat got ripe, all the

Quickly, almost fiercely, sis snatcbed
from his body the jealous snow. She rub
bed his breast; she chafed his wrists and
hands. There was an electricity of love in
her touch, which quickly restored warmth
and life.
John Dalton rose from that bed of death,
saved by his wife.
Together in the little home, by the bright
fire, heartfelt prayer, kiss for the little
ones, an embrace-yes, more thai one-for
the wife, the supper finished, the contents
of the snug little kettle not forgotten, John
Dalton pressed his hand on his forehead,

STORY OF RAr.-A story is told by a
farmer residing at Bloomfield, in this State,
which seems to indicate reasoning power
and a bit of heroic element in rat. Two
rats, an old grey matron of the corn-crib
and her offspring, had been caught together
In common box trap. Through a crack
the pair could be seen together within, low
ing enough, till the farm dog was brought
to the mouth Of the trap. AS soon as the
mother rat scented the dog she seemed
Immediately to divine the approaching fate,
and, giving . terrible squeaL she caught
the little rat by the neck and bit him sharp
ly, causing almost instant death. The trap
was..opened an instant after, and the old rat,
which had thus killed her offspring rather
than have it murdered by the dog, quietly
submitted to her fate.
