When the Oldest class was called for
examination, she felt, as The stalwart, rud-
dy-faced boys lowered up IN front OF her,
that it was almost presumption to think
of teaching them. But she soon found
the benefit of her thorough drill in the
Normal College. Though the tall pupils
were good in their studies as far as they
went, they had as yet only padded their
boats on the edge of the ocean of knowl-

making the school marvel of order and
industry.
One among the larger boys-Harry

past his sixteenth birthday; handsome
and sunburned, with curly hair and mer-

Before Miss Brown took up her 'mimic
sceptre," he had been one Of her prede-
cessors most ardent adherents, and had
pledged himself to his mates to annoy the
teacher in whatever way they should sug-

not promise when," and with this the
boys had to rest content.

places for the teacher to board around
first spending portion Of her time with
one, then with another Of the pupils pa
rents, until all have done their share of
entertaining.
Miss Brown was at Harry Chisholm s

stay there very pleasant. Harry dcspoil-

There was now but one thing wanting
to make Harry perfectly happy, and that
was to have his former friend and teach
CT, Mr.. Osborne, pay them a visit. So
with his mothers consent he wrote and
ivited him to spend Saturday and Sun
