/. Little Miss Prim snapped out the
words, with as much of an air as if she
had hundred or two scholars, instead
of small district school so small, that
you could almost put the whole thing
under good sized umbrella, and walk
away with it.
Yes'm," came back in meek little
voice, from the other end Of the room.
I'm not going to hear this noise any
longer No, am mott" declared Miss
Prim. 80 do you just walk up here to
the desk, this very minute
Two small feet stumbled out into the
passage between the well-worn wooden
benches; and the little girl walked slowly
up to the big desk, till she stood exactly
in front Of the sharp little eyes Of the
teacher, who looked her all over keenly
from head to foot.
What have you been doing to make
all the children laugh2" at last she said
"Nothin, said Cornelia, dragging her

Gods Will.

By ALBERT. of Brandenburg, while suffering IL
exile, 1865.
Nhate'er God will, let that be done;
His will is ever wisest
His grace will all thy hopes outrun,
Who to that faith arisest
The gracious Lord
Will help afford;
He chastens with forbearing;
Who God believes
And to Him cleaves,
Shall not be left despairing.
My God is my sure confidence,
My light and my existence; .a
His counsel is beyond my sense,
But stirs no weak resistance
His word declares
The very hairs
Upon my head are numbered;
His mercy large
Holds me In charge
With care that never slumbered.
There comes day, when at His will,
The pulse of nature ceases;
think upon it and am still,
Let come whate'er he pleases.
To Him 1 trust
My soul. my DUST
When flesh and spirit sever
The Christ we sing
Has plucked the sting
Away from death forever:

Perhaps no American State is so little revealed 10
ite cosmopolitan people as New-YOrk. The citizens
of the interior are far better informed abOut their

LAST Saturday afternoon while some

says the Lyon County Times, n large
California lion made his appearance and
put sudden stop to the game. The
lion did not offer to molest the girls.
but on the contrary seemed only de-
sirous OF watching tho children play.
The children, however, strangely OBJ
jected to a spectator of that kind, and
after few stones had been thrown at
him his majesty slowly walked away
and disappeared over the hill toward
the Rock Point Mill.

der date Of October 18th, tells about
how ono OF tho most persistent men in
the world illustrated the old saying Of
the "rulinS passion strong in death, "
after tho following style: THE ascent
Of Mont Hanc, which certainly does
not lack in originality, is the town.tnlk
in ChamouniI at present. A wealthy
American there, n fanatic on tho subject
OF mountain ascension, had been foiled
four times in his attempt ut reaching
tho top OF Mont Blanc, and finally swore
that ho would reach it, "deGd or alive"
His sudden demise left but one Of those
alternatives. lie had tune TO mako his
will. by which no left his large fortune
to threo nephows Of his, on the distinct
condition that they wCro to ascend tho
mountain with his coffined body. The
heirs have arrived, and are making tho
necessary preparations to carry out the
last will OF their uncle"

WITH regard his position in rela-

General MacVegh says: "No position
has been dearer to him than that his
own usefulness uther as member OF
the Cabinc or as representing the Gov
ernment in the Star Route cases was
absolutely ended with the death of
President Garfield. Any subsequent
supervision OF these cases was calcu.
lated to giv an erroneous impression.
They were still being conducted by the
past Administration instead of the
present, anl such an impression would
be very Injurious iAdeed to tho cases
themselves.

The dispatch with refreshing candor,
observes:
1T was he subject OF talk in the
State Committee r0ms that much
credit was due TO President Arthur for
the assistance he gaD in the canvass.
1t is snid TO be partlydue to his efforts
that the Democratic majority in the city
was kept down so low"
Aud tbis is what ws have come TO
under Republican rule; every Federal
official. from q twelve-dollar a-yeur
Postmaster up 10 and including tue
President himself. is a political wirs-
puher, whose FIRST aud last duty. inde-
pendent Of every consideration of JUS
tice, proprietI or decency. is to nssist
in securing and retaining the spoils.
Time was when the President Of these
United States syinced sufficient respect
for the dignity of the Office to devote
his time to til, administration of the
affairs Of the Government. leaving the
dirty work Of political campaigns to
ward-strikcrs and pot.house patriots;
but that was twenty or more years ago.
The uecessityfor ''strong centralized
Government" il America is apparent.
The more p'wer concentrated at
Washington, tie greater the Federal
influence exert,d upon tho elections
