The latest thing In dances Is called
the .'raquet," and Is neither a waltz
nor a polka, though the best parts Ia
OF both aao preserved. The music
strikes up with n crash, rs though n new
volcano had broken out, and the girl
will cling tightly rs though frightened,
IL she understands the dance, and the
young man will reassure her by a gentle
pressure, II he understands the dance
or knows anything ut all. At the Sec
ond crash they dodge, rs though some
one had thrown n blacksmith's shop ut
them, and they start in. Then begin
ming by initiating a person who Is
drowning, but ut each crash OF the
cymbals and bass drum they dodge and
scoot TO n side, then dart back again,
jam each other sideways, and then rs
the crashes Of music become more ter
rifle and deafening, they try to drive
each other through the floor by main
strength, get desperate and claw and
tear and phil. and all Mt once they go
raving mad with hydrophobia and de-
lirium tremens, and gnash their teeth
and ave and suffer the most terrible
agony-and II is all over. IL Is a short
dance, rs the design is amusement and
not murder. But short as it is. 1t is
said to he very sweet.

from the New York Times:
Bronson Aleott, OF Boston, told
Joseph Cook and Joseph Cook told
everybody he met, that he made a
regulation in his school that IL a pupil
violated a rule, 1.-THE master should sub
stitute his own voluntary sacrilcial
chastisement for that pupils punish
ment; and this regulation almost
Christianized his school" Zone day."
Mr.. Alcott said, 81 called up before
me n pupil who had violated an i'm
poItant rule. put tho ruler into the
offenders hand; ! extended my own
hand; | told him To strike. Instantly !
saw n struggle begin In his face. A
new light sprung up In his countenance.
A new set OF shuttles seemed 10 DO weav-
ing n new nature within him. | kept my
hand extended, and the schools was in
teas. The boy struck once and burst
into tears. lie seemed transformed by
the idea that | should suffer chastise-
ment in place OF his punishment, and
ever after was the most docile fellow in
the school, though he had at first been
the rudest.n
Now, this is very affecting and rea-
sonable and striking. No can read
the incident and very readily forget 1t,
and IL contains n lesson that every
school-toachor a certainly read with
profit. The incident came To the
knowledge OF Willis X. Stoddard, who
for many years past has been teaching
q district school in Flint River town
ship in Iowa. He read this extract
from n OF Joseph Cooks lectures, and
never forgot the great moral lesson II
conveyed. Young Mr.. Stoddard had
some very hard boys in his school. They
were big and noisy and rough and
turbulent. lie had reasoned with them,
he had cxpostulated; lie had begged and
wept. lie had whipped them until his
arms ached, and the directors had
threatened TO dismiss him for unneces-
sary severity and absolute ciuelty; and
the boys grew worse and worse every
day. But when no was ut his wits end,
and was seriously thinking OF running
away and losing all OF his back salary
rather than stay nj the school another
day, he read this incident and 1t gave
his troubled mind new light. lie had
treasured 1t up probably half n day

mouth, and, when he had chewed them
into n pulp, he took the "wadn into his
hand, and propelled the whole mass
with great violence into the ear OF Ellis
Haskell, who signiiied his very natural
dismay and astonishment by a tremend-
ous howl. Mr.. Stoddard called Samuel

Hoe 10 Stop ~ PAPER.

The following, from one OF our ex-
changes, so fully and clearly express
es our views on the subject that we
copy it without comment; "You
have an undoub;ed right to sop a
newspaper when you feel disposed,
upon payment of all arrearages. Do
not hesitate to do so ON account of the
tenderness of feeling" for the editor.
Don't you suppose he would stop buy
ing sugar of you, or meat, clothing.
dry goods, ETC., if he thought he was
not getting his moneys worth, and
why should you not exercise the same
privilege with regard to him And
when you discontinue paper, do so
maufully. Don't be so spiteful as to
throw it back to the postmaster with
a contemptuous IL don't want it
any longer !" and have refused
written on the margin, and have the
paper returned to the editor. No
gentleman ever stopped it in that way;
no matter if his head is covered with
gray hair that should be honorable.
If you do not longer wish to receive a
newspaper. write a note to the editor
like a man, saying so-aud be sure
that the arrearages are paid. That is
the way TO stop a newspaper.

Girls are the most unaccountablest
things in the world-except woman.
Like the wicked flea, when you have
them they amt there. I can cipher
clean over the improper fractions, and
the teacher says ! do it first rate; but
] can't cipher out girl, proper or
improper. and you can't either. The
only rule in arithmetic that hits their
case is the double rule Of three. They
are as full of Old Nick as their skins
can hold, aud they would die il they
could not torment somebody. When
they try to he mean they are Ms mean
as pusley, though they amt as mean
as they let on, except sometimes, and
then they are a good deal meaner.
The only way to get along with a girl
when she comes to you with her non
sence is TO give her tit for tat, and
that will hummux her, aud when you
get girl flummuxed she is nice as a
pin. A girl can SOW more Wild oats
in day than boy can SOW in year,
but girls get their wild oats sowed al
ter a while. which boys never do, aud
then they settle down as calm AMI
placid as a mud-puddle But ! like
girls first rate, and ! guess the boys
all do. don't care how many tricks
they play ON me-and they don't eth
er. The hoitytoityist girl in the world
can always boil over like glass OF
soda. By.and-by they get into the
traces with somebody they like, aud
pull study as an old stage horse. That
is the beauty Of them. So let them
wave, | say; they will pay for it some
day, sewing on buttons and trying to
make man out Of the fellow they
have spliced on TO, aud ten chances to
one if they don't get the worst Of it.

Ireland has $50, 600 tenants, whose
sole acreage each does not average 20
acres to an average family Of ten per-
svns She hes in these people the
nursery Of peasant pauperism, by rea-
son Of landlord aggression. She has
$4,000 more tenants with an average
Of ten acres per eight persons, and
these constitute the annexe to the
above nursery. She has 10000
more of an average family Of five that
do not hold more than four acres per
family, and they are the nursery and
the tomb of pauper ireland. 1t is
impossible for such occupiers of such
plots OF land to live in other than
pauperIsm when the climate, the
crops aud the absence Of capital are
considered. | omit the landlords rule
Of terror, distraint and destruction.
And yet you are asked why these peo-
pie are not like the SAXON prosperous
mechanic! There are 1876, 900 acres
Of waste land in Ireland, as the Eng
lish reformer and manufacturer win
tell you. Yes; but they are acres of
swamp and bog, together with ire
claimable mountain land. Arterial
and surface drainage TO redeem this
land, requires money. This money
has not been supplied. And the Irish
peasant is made the poor scape- goat
for his marshy and mountain acres,
already too well waiered and imprint
ed by the tears of his brokent heart,
his crushed children's sobs and his at
wife's sighs.

"As a rule" says the Western
Agricuiiuralist, western farmers feed
to much corn TO their stock. Mixed
feed will produce better results in
stock feeding as surely as does mixed
husbandry in farming. A mixture Of
feeding substance is always conduc-
tive to the health of animals. Ii OPP
crates as change of food, and it is
more convenient to mix several sub
stances and to use them together than
to feed them separately. For horses
the basis of the grain feed should be
oats or barley. Ii might be remark
ed here that barley is too much neg
lecled as feeding substance; it is
nutritious aud healthful even as a single
food, while mixed with corn it reduces
the heating character Of the latter.
Equal parts of oats, barley, corn
wheat or rye bran and linseed ground
together iurm perfect food for
horses, containing no element for nu-
trimenl in excess and having the lax
alive effect of the oily linseed to keep
the digestive organs in perfect order,
the skin loose and the coat smooth
and glossy.

lie? 2. For what was Thomas Paine i'm

ton imprisoned Abner Kneeland for daring
to express his sincere opinion on religion
in 1886?
Ans.-1. Yes. 2. In 1893 the Jacobns
of France issued decree that all natives of
England found in France should be i'm
prisoned. Thomas Paine, being y native
of England, and at that time in France,
was placed in prison, and narrowly escaped
death in the reign of terror. 8. He was
tried before the Supreme Court, at Boston,
on charge of blasphemy, but we do not
find who his accusers were. AS he was in
early life a Baptist minister, afterward a
Universalist, it is probable that the former
were his accusers.
