/ took the letter in my hand. Its
chirography was plain but hand
some, and it read as follows:
"MARsHToN. April IS, 49,.
Mrs. Rev. DR.. Andrew Knowlton:
Dear Nadam-I saw your mar
riage in the newspapers the other
day, and that is the first and only
intelligence have had of you since
you taught school in this village.
Are you really dear Miss Dexter,
and do you remember poor stupid
Tom Strong? Well, / am he. In

making a man of me. The first
realization | ever had that was a

your charitable provision for my

those dinners, meal by meal, built
me up, mentally and physically.
Those reading lessons in the New
Testament, too, built me up in d
spiritual way. In every sense OF
the word was "born again" that
memorable year under your kind
care. | kept OH staying at the no.

pleasant village here by the sea has
grown to be quite a famous summer
resort. To keep pace with the pub
lie demand, I have greatly enlarged
the hotel, and have added many
modern improvements. And now
| beg leave to invite you and your
distinguished husband to come and
make me "a visit, whenever it shall
be most convenient to you.
"Iours most gratefully,
Thomas H. STRONG"
/ handed back the letter to the
sweet little woman, the eyes of both
of us suffused with tears, while she
said: The July following the re-
ceipt of this letter, when my hus-
bands annual vacation began, we
accepted the invitation. and have
been here every year since. We
have our old rooms, newly furnish

MISS DEXTFR'S PUPIL.

Teaching is thankless task"
said a gentleman standing near me
on the piazza of a popular seaside
hotel last summer.
That is true, replied his COM
panlon, land SO is the work of
experimenting school committee.
This dealing with ignorant and con-
ceited parents who want to dictate
what their children shall study, who
often have some petty spite against
the teacher or committee to CRAFTY,
and who will not stop to break up
a school, could they carry ont their
miserable schemes. is utterly disa-
sreeable. No, my friend. there is
not money enough to tempt me to
have anything to do with the man
aSelnent Of the schools IN our good
town of Marshton;" and the two
men descended the piazza steps and
walked on toward the beach.
A lady near me, with whom had
formed u pleasant little acquaint-
ance, looked up and smiled. The
Conscientious teacher, who loves
her work, She said, docs not al
ways look for an immeditiate frui-
ton of all her works and hopes.
She Is now sowing good seeds,
knowing not just when or how the
harvest will succeed. I taught
school for many years, and am far
from calling it u 'thankless calling
! meet my old scholars everywhere,
and the thanks / have received from
them, orally and by letter, are the
pleasantest spots in my life expert
ence.
just then the owner and propri-
etor of the great hotel, Landlord
Strong, passed. by the bluff before
us. glanced up and smiled and
raised his hat Although he was
very shrewd business man, with
great executive capacity, he was at
the same time large hearted, gen
tlenlanly and courteous to every
one, and universal favorite. L
knew that this charming woman,
who had been known in her teach
ing days AS Miss Dexter. had the
best room Ill the hotel, WIS waited
upon with extra attention, had the
most stylish horses and carriages
nj her bidding, and that the land
lord never passed her without rais-
ing his hat and bowling as if to a
queen,
The gentle little woman by my
side returned the bow and smiled,
and then turning to me again, said:
"Yuu are gathering facts all time;
let me tell You story for your note
book, to be- used at some future
tlme-not hert, Of course" / thank /
ell her, and She went on:
Il began to teach when / WAS fif- |

ideas ii my little head, in regard to

town to teach The village school IN

establishment then, bnt well kept
by the Widow Rug
The committee had hired me en-
tirely from my reputation rs
teacher IN an adjoining town. and
when they came to see me face to
face. and noticed my youthful APP
pearance. they evidently had some
:nissiv;ngs as to my ability to
manage the larger pupils of the
school. whom they designated rs "a
hard set. Now there is Tom
Strong, said they, I'VE may as well
tell you ut the start that You had
better let him alone; get along with
him the best way you can. When
you cun not stand it with him any
longer, let us know and we will
send him home. Tie boy can not
be taught ANYTHING. We have had
conscientious. pains-taking teachers,
who declared that it was impossible
to teach him to count, spell, or
write his own name, even"
81 found this lad to be tall and
thin, blue and pinched. with hardly
life enough to do anything in school
but make grotesque faces for the
amusement of the children. / put
an end to that ut once by making Il
rule that any scholar who laughed
ut Tom Strong's faces should sit
with the dirty, ragged. unkempt
boy, and take lessons from him as Il
facial contortionist, while the rest
of the school looked on.
1T did seem rs if the poor fellow
could no: be made to remember
anything; but l said to myself, He
is not an idiot, and he shall be
taught to read and spell easy words
at first, and to write his name. He
had been laundering along i'll an
advanced reader, with a class of
live, bright boys of his own age and
size. Not wishing to humiliate the
lad by putting him in the infant
class, where he really belonged, /
had him read by himself, from my
pretty, red morocco-bound Bible
beginning with the Sermon on the
Mount, and taking up the parallels
III good time.
Il set him easy copies in writing.
His indolent and rebellious conduct
over this part of my labor with him
attracted the attention of one OF the
older girls, who said to me one day
at recess, ! don't suppose Tom
Strong has strength enough to learn
to write, or apply himself to any
thing. His folks are very poor and
shiftless, and they never have any
meat to eat, nor any good, nutrl-
tious food. He never brings any
dinner or lunch 70 eat at noon, and
never runs and plays with the boys.
He is not strong enough, teacher.
