wAs 90 good natured and sdecfioosae thas
nobody could help loving him in spite u
his mischief. He never resisted NM
struggled when she had to punish him.
| really think he got ferruled as often -
once q week; but be used to hold out his
hand the minute she told him to, and
look straight into her eyes while sllc
struck him. Sometimes he would bite
his lips and the tears would come into
bis eyes, but he never cried nor begged
off, as the rest of US did. He was 10
brave as he was mischievous. Even
when he had TO sit on the dunce-stool for
twenty minutes with his mouth wide
open and piece of corn cob set firmly
between his teeth, he never cried. This
was Miss Caroline's worst punishment.
I think if she herself had tried it once, to
see how much it hurt, she never would
have had the heart to inf1ict it on us. At
first, when she wedged in the piece Of
cob, you felt like laughing that anybody
should think such q thing as that could
be much of q punishment; but pretty soon
your jaws began to ache, and then tho
back of your neck ached, and then the
pain reached up into the back of your
head, and into your ears, and it became
real torture; there was not single by
in school that could bear it without the
tears streaming down his cheeks, except
Ned Spoffard. Miss Caroline very rarely
did it to the girls; I think no one hut
Sarah Kellogg and ever had 1t. We
were the worst girls in the school; We two
and Ned Spoffard were the three black
sheep in Miss Csroline's little fock.-St.
Nicholas.
