Two Ways of Destroying our
Schools.

There are two or three ways of
destroying our public school system.
The first is employing incompetent
teachers, whose sole recommends
tion is that they will teach cheaply.
Second, by the parents having sach
confidence in the teachers and school
board, that they will never visit the
school for themselves. The third is
for parents to take the word OF their
children, and or the strength of their
reports to find fault with the school.
If we would have good schools we
must have good, competent teachers,
and there is no person, who is really
qualified to teach a good school but
what know themselves TO be able to
earn more than the mere pittance
some would dole out to them for
teaching, in almost any other calling.
Then patrons oi the school must
show a lively interest in the same
and encourage the teachers and pu-
pills to earnest work thereby.
The Florida agriculturist., 1880-09-15

The night was now nearly dark,
and thinking only of his doves and
the loved one, he failed to observe
that several little pieces of string
were swinging to and fro IN the
breeze from the branches of the
thicket near him. Dreadful, indeed.
was it for him that he did not, for
suddenly ne felt terrible shock, &C
companied by most intense pain, the
bones of his leg being apparently
crushed to splinters. He was caught
in the wolf trap.
The first few moments of pain and
suffering over he must have compre.
hended the danger OF his position,
and had. it is presumed, with great
presence Of mind endeavored to open
the serrated iron jaws which held
him fast. But though danger is said
to double the strength of a man, the
trap refused to give up it's prey, and
as at each movement of the body the
iron teeth buried themselves deeper
and deeper in his flesh his agony
must have been OF the most exquisite
description. He probably shouted,
and would have continued to shout,
however hopelessly, for help, had it
not been tor the fear of attracting
the wolves that might be lurking in
the neighborhood. He had under
his coat a small hatchet; and with
this, in the event of his being at
tackled by the dreaded animals, he
trusted to defend himself. AS the
night heightened the moon rose and
shed her pale light over the forest.
He may now be pictured immovable,
with eyes and ears on the Yui oiUe,
his body in the most excruciating
torment, listening and waiting, All
at once, far, very far off, he hears
confused murmur of indistinct sounds.
Approaching with rapidity, these
murmurs become cries and yells.
They are those OF wolves on the track
demons, which ere few minutes
would be set upon him, carried direct
to the spot by the trails set for the
destruction of his destroyers. Fear
not beng part OF his hardy nature,
he by almost superhuman efforts,
and in the awful moment forgetting
all pain, contrived to drag himself
and the trap toward an oak tree,
against which he placed his back. .
Here. with his hatchet ready to
strike, the young fellow, full Of
courage, doubtless offered up short

White Sauce.

Put three-quarters Of a pint OF
cream into saucepan with the rind
of a lemon, halt teaspoontul OF
whole white pepper, aud a sprig OF
lemon thyme, and let these intuse for
halt an hour, when simmer gently for
few minutes till there is nice flavor
OF lemon. Strain it, and add thick
ening of three ounces of butter and
one dessertspoonful OF -four; stir this
we'll, and put in the juice OF lemon
at the moment of serving. Mix with
a teacuptul Of white stock, and add a
little salt. This sauce should not
boil after the cream and stock are
mixed together. Milk may be used
instead OF cream.

Trust Children.

Never accuse a child of fault un.
less you are certain he committed it.
Children should not be treated
with suspicion. We should act
toward them in this matter as We
ought to act toward others, only with
greater tenderness-not less, as is
usually done. We should always
put the best construction possible
upon their conduct; that is, unless
you are sure chile is telling lie,
and can prove it, do otshow the small
est hesitation i'll believing what he
says. Far better that you should be
deceived, than run risk OF showing a
truthful child you do not trust him.
\ our simplest trust may make lie
ing child truthful Your doubt OF his
truthfulness may make a truthful
child a liar

prayer to his God, and embracing, as
it were, in his mind his poor old
mother and his bride, awaited the
horrible result, determined to show
himself true child Of the forest, and
meet his fate like a man. A few
minutes more and he was surrounded
by Gordon OF yellow flames from
the eyes Of the brutes; the animals
themselves, which he could scarcely
distinguish, sending forth their
horrible yells full in his tace,
On the following morning, when
the unfortunate forester who set the
trap came to examine it he found it
at the foot of the oak, deluged with
blood, the bone OF human leg up
right between the iron teeth and all
around, scattered about the turf and
the path quantity OF human remains.
Shreds of a coat and other articles Of
clothing were also discovered near
the spot, With the assistance OF
some dogs which were put on the
scent, three wolves, their heads and
bodies cut open with a hatchet, were
found dying iD an adjacent thicket.
When the venerable cure of the vii
lage, after previously endeavoring in
every possible way by Christian ex-
hortation to prepare his aged mother.
TO hear the sad tale, informed her
that these remains OF humanity were
all that were left Of her boy, she
laughed, but it was the laugh Of mad
ness. Alas 1t fled.

Caught in Il Wolf Trap.

From AH The Year Round.
The favorite trap employed for
wolves in Burgundy is the tran
querard. This is most dangerous
even to man, the strongest that is
made, requiring two men to set it.
1t has springs of formidable power
and delicacy, and when these are
touched the jaws OF the trap, armed
with rows OF teeth. shut one within
the other. In spite of every pre-.
caution, however, very sad occur
rences will often happen in these
forests.
Some years ago trap was placed
near deserted footway, and the
usual warning precautions taken.
The same day young man, anxious
to present to his .fdncee some turtle
doves and pigeons with rosy beaks,
with whose whereabouts he was ac-
quainted, left his home little before
sunset to surprise the birds on their
nest. He was late The night
closed in rapidly, and with the in
tention of shortening the road he
took his way across the forest.
Without in the least needing the
brambles and bushes which caught
his legs, or the bitches and streams
he was obliged to cross, he pressed
on, and after continued battle with
the thorns, the stumps and roots,
and the long clinging tendrils OF the
wild roses, came exactly on the

IF WE KNEW.

If we knew the cares and crosses,
Crowding round our neighbor's way,
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely g1ievous day by day,
Would we then so often chide him,
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leave ON his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our lives a stain?
If we knew the clouds above us.
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying ON the dewy grass,
While tits only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past.
If we Knew the silent story,
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again?
Life hath many tangled crossing,
JOY hath made break of woe,
And the cheek S, tearwashed, are whitest
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach in our bosoms
For the key of other lives,
And witlrlove towards erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits,
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say dear Father judge us
As we judge our fellowmen.

Test Of Orgaaic Impurities in
Water.

The use OF a diluted solution OF
tannic acid has been suggested for
this purpose by J. p. Dahlen. The
test solution should contain five per
cent. of tannin, and five parts OF it
should be added to one hundred of
the water. If organic matters be
present, pellicle or scum will rap
idly torn; this scum formation can
be recognized by the immediate ap-
pearance OF an iridescence or play OF
colors, and the growth Of fungus veg
citation can be detected without a
microscope by the little bubbles OF
carbonic acid which collect around
the edges of the surface. In every

than alive. Rt1lS leg was terribly Ia
cerated, and the loss of blood was
very severe. 1t was thought for a
time that the limb could be saved,
but modification set In, and it was
found necessary to amputate il just
below the knee. The young man is
now getting along very well, and
will probably recover. The exciting
question is, what was the strange
animal, and where did it come from ?
The young men only saw. part OF
its head, but from the description it
is supposed to have been an alliga-
tor. How such an animal could
have come SO far North is a mystery,
unless it is explained by an accident
which took place in the early part OF
the summer. Some time in May, as
train OF freight cars were coming
east, a link broke and slight COLI
sion occurred, throwing car into
the stream at this point. The car
contained general freight, and among
other things live alligator, about
six feet long, which was on its way
to the Philadelphia Geological Gar
den. Nothing was atterward seen OF
the animal, and it was supposed that
it was killed by the fall. But it
must have escaped, and this was pro-
badly the animal that attacked young
Sharp. People in the vicinity are in
a great state of excitement, and will
not let their children go near the
stream, as they are afraid they will
be ea:en. Almost q constant watch
has since been kept on the place by
men armed with shot guns, who are
determined to destroy the beast, but
as yet it has tailed to show itself.
The Florida agriculturist., 1880-09-15
How to Make up a Quarrel.

William Ladd was the president of
the American Peace Society, and he
believed that the principle Of peace,
carried out, would maintain good
will among neighbors as well as
among nations But there was a
time when he had not fully considered
this subject-had not thought much
about it, as l dare say my young
readers have not; and he believed
that, if man struck him a blow, it
was best, and fair, to strike right
back again, without considering if
there were not some better way OF
overcoming the offender, or, if man
did him an injury, why, as people
commonly say, he would "give him
as good as he sent"
He then had farm; and a poor
man, who lived on land adjoining
his, neglected to keep up a fence
which it was his business to keep in
order and, in consequence, his sheep
