rnE ORIGIN OF SPELLING BEES.

(Recently Discovered Addenda to the Lost
Tales of Miletus.)
70 tove, olympus -throned, from lunch re-
Ambrosia Ger Minerva came, complaining:
s'My Gracious Liegel" she said, "thls Is my
Your over-leniency, dyspepsia breeding,
Allows the gods too much Of oyer-ieeding,
BY which their paates cheek their brains pro-
gression, -.|. .,.-.5
And dull their intellects by retrogression,.
And seeing this, o Jove, crave PERMISSION
10 countefact it by direct attrition;
In order thus their intellects to. strengthen,
Their minds to polish and their memories
lengthen."
Permission is given, straight Minerva took
Out of her pocket Webster's Speliing-Dook,
Around the circle test-words quickly hieU,
Which ca Immortal missed as soon as tifed'
On ''trousseau," Juno weakened; Mars on
tsfoes,"
While pouting Venus came to grief through
On .soccuH" Pluto; Vulcan on "crescendo,"
While gray beard Neptune cayed on 'nnu-
Baccnus with "reeling' made perfect funk,
At which Minerva tartly orieds "aonre
drunke
One ss' in ''messenger'' gave Mercury trouble,
And Ceres. weeping, bit the dust ON "stubble;"
Appolo stoutlv tried his luck on "rooster,
And then, appealing, said ne spelled by Wor-
On which the ;Graees held, as referees,
He was $50 nice" he might spell as he pleased.
Joye, last of all, but than the rest no better,
In spelling ''enpty" lost needed lettef'
Then the whole circle begged her to give o'er;
The gods all called her spelling bee bore. .,,
The ladies said "blue-sbocking" and va
fright"
And the three judges held such language
right
Pluto said: "Nervy, LET'S to Hades go,
| And try this latest torment down beow''
straightway Minerva rose, and closed her
And round the circle cast withering look;
stImmortal Gods!" she said, ''henceiorth tnc
| schools
Shall better call you all Immortal fools!
| Olympus,n here she wept, ESQ GLORIOUS once,
| Is now Mt only for the dullest Ounce.
| Down to the earth I'll go, and quickly mass
The fiering nations IN a spelling class.
Thus Pll reform the world, and as for you,
Degenerate Deties, for a while, adleu!
| | shall return, and till that time-a, well!
Pn leave Olympus for little spell"
So saying, she turned, nor aohsef aoiSho" w
| stay,
But gilded swiftly down the milky way
Minerva thus her earthward journey took,
Aud from her pocket drew her awful BOOK
| merica soon gave the chance she sought,
/ And a new WBattle OF Lexicon" was fought;
Fierce grew the conflict, quick the test-words
flew,
Ponderous six-syllables, and puzzling two
And thus we wrestle, while, serene and Still,
Minerva sits enthroned on Learning's liiu.
And. till she wearies, thus, fear, shall we
Still be a-spelling at spelling bee!
