DOING 1T WE'LL,
How the Pupils OF Country SchooImas,
ter Followed His Advice.

A country schoolmaster set copy one
day for his pupils as follows: "One OF the most
useful lessons boy can learn Is to do well what
ever he undertakes" ono of the wise boys OF the
school, after cogtating seriously upon the propo-
sitiOn, concluded TO have some fun. He took in a
gang Of his confederates, and the following was
the result During recess the teacher wandered out
to view the beauties of nature, perchauce to feast
his eyes upon the agility with which the
rustic beauties could climb trees, &c. At all
events, IN his absence the boy who had determined
TO do 1t well, fixed the bucket of water
over the door arranged row of taeks and bent
pins in the sacred chair OF the emperor of the
sChool-room and made littlo cuts In ali the birch
rods reposing in awful array in the imperial desk
and then wrgte in large print the black boards
the aboye.quoted moral proposition The teacher
reNIrned In dreadful mood from his recess recrca-
tioT as aforesaid The bucket did its duty well :
the irntc deluged teacher rang his bell with vim
dictvc, wrathiul jerks; the scholars entered
in due silence; the /. d. teacher proceeded
with solemn yisage 10 take his seat of
power He took it with so much power
that each individual tack aud pin did its duty
well, and with such startling effect that the now
truly /, and d. teacher, having added profancs to
his other descriptive adectlves, broke out with" If
| can find the d--d boy who has played these
dirty tricks on me will make fearful example
of him. This speech elected no response SO
he proceeded to cOtechise each individual scholar
as to his completely in the fearful outrage on the
principle above quoted. Each one proclaimed his
ignorance Of the author OF the mischief as 70 do 1t
well, lie well stuck TO Is good the truth, and
sometimes, as in the present instance great deal
better. The teacher did not take in the full sgni-
ficance OF the occasion until IN his cavortings
about the room his eyes rested upon his text fully
elaborated in capitals on the wall. As it was IN
capitais-prnt-he could not detect the writer by
his chirography. So once more he threatened the
whole school with punishment II the culprit was
revealed No answer He then went for his rods
and began with the first boy he cameto WhRck
came down the birch and flew into twenty pieces
AIother birch, another boy; another shower of
broken rod. Another birch, another boy; more
fragments. The p 1. d. teacher waxed too
wroth for words, suspended tho school, and re-
ferrcd the matter to the school board. The boy
was never found. He did 1t well.

PROPHETIC WORDS,
The Prcsidcnt's Realization OF the Dan.
gcr Of AaanasInniIon.

Miss Frances Il. Willard, who is now
visiting friends in Brookline, relates the following
Incident of n conversation she had with President
Garfield shortly alter his Inauguration. She had
expressed to him the pleasure II had given her to
make his mothers acquaintance, and he replied
" Dear old mother she takes such an interest In
her son James" lie then went on to say how she
had such fears for his personal safety that on
one occasion during the campaign, alarmed by
the presence Of somo rather suspicious looking
strangers at Mentor she took him aside and
cautioned him to be on his guard against them
She thought that they would like to get him out OF
the way rs q quick solution of the pending con.
test, Afer speaking thus to Miss willard the
President remarked, 81 presume IL is true, that
any man who has been put forward as the chief
executive Of nation, whether he be n king or a
president, Is target so conspicuous that he has a
sort of fascination for certain class Of men with
homicidol tendencies" Immediately after, he
added, thoughtfully and seriously, these pro-
phetic words; ] presume, personally, occupying
the positonl do, am in daily danger Of assassin.
alton" The conversation then turned upon lighter
subjects, but an impression had been made upon
Miss Willard which she now vividly re-
calls. In commenting upon the attempted
assassination yesterday Miss Willard said
that in all the demonstrations Of sorrow
there was nothing so significant Of good MS
the universal sympathy expressed by the South.
Since President Garield's election Miss willard has
spent three monthsin the fourteen Southern States
working and speaking for temperancei in nearly all
the chief cities, aud everywhere from the best
classes IN religion philanthropy, and politics she
says she has heard only the kindest expression
toward the new master Of the White House. The
general opinion Of people and press, as she had
heard and seen IT, was that his fair and liberal
spirit his policy Of national education, internal
improvements, and frnternal interchange, would
do what no other Northern man had done to bring
about the era Of good feeling the really reunited

RARE ENDURANCE.
A Case somewhat similar TO That oi
President Garfield.

The rare endurance President Garfield
is showing In his fight with an assassins bullet re.
calls some instances in the past where q similar
fight has been crowned with victory. One Of the
most notable Of these is the case of Colonel d. r.
Anthony, editor ofthe Lcavenworth (Kan.) Times,
and brother Of Susan B. Anthony. Colonel
Anthony had always been distinguished for devo
tion to his friends and bitter hostility toward his
enemies. A quarrel had arisen between him and
Mr.. Embry, the editor Of an opposition paper,
and both men went armed for some time. on the
night of the llth of May, 1876 Colonel Anthony
attended n dramatic performance ut the Leaven-
worth theatre. Going out between the third and
fourth acts he met his enemy in the lobby. Some
angry words passed between them, when Embry
drew n pistol and fired three shots at
Anthony. The first shot took effect in the right
breast just below the collar bone, severing lead
ing artery, and causing violent internal hemor-
rhagc The attending surgeons at once pronounced
the wound mortal and gave the patient so many
hours in which to prepare for death. No person,
they said, similarly wounded, had ever been
known to recover. But Colonel Anthony had no
idea of weakly surrcndering his life and dying ac-
cording to the programme the doctors marked out
for him Like General Garfield he had one chance
for his life, and he determined to make brave
fight for that chance. Day after day he disap.
pointed his physicians by not dying. After few
weeks of suffering he rose from his bed and to. day
he walks the streets of Leavenworth we'll and
hearty, and edits one of the brightest newspapers
in the West. Let us hope that President Garfield
will give another illustration of the ability of a
strong viii and vigorous physique to set at naught
some of the established precedents of medical

VICE PR EsIDENT ARTHUR.
The Atrocious and Inhuman Insinuations
-H Against Him.

The Journal has made no allusion to
the atrocous and inhuman insinuations made
against ce-Prcsident Arthur and ex-senator
COnkling in relation 10 the attempt upon the life
OF he President, and their conduct and feeling
under the catastrophe, regarding them as merely
the ebulitions of excited feeling not really sin
ccrc, and to be dssipated by the first sober thought
and not compatible with either ordinary intell.
gence or humanity. That they have made no way
with the great bulk OF the Nation we are con-
vlnced, but there Is enough In the threatening let
tiers addressed to the Vice President, and the
language of rancOrous and hystcric newspapers
and unbalanced individuals to make IL impera-
tive, however discroditable, that there should be
occasion 10 dcnouncc them as folly and
inhumanity, wholly unJusthcd by the lives and
characters ofthe persons accused. The Nation, as
we have elsewhere said, has behaved as n whole
with great calmness and judgment under the
catastrophe; but there are persons whose minds
are unbalanced By the agitation and excitement,
and are man!lesting 1t in very painful and dis
creditablc way. 1t is an insult to persons of
ordinary humanity, not to say of conspicuous pub.
lie service and long Official career, to offer to de-
fend them from so cruel and foul suspicious, and

There was marked contrast between
the appearance of Washington upon the night of

awful determination for revenge upon the other.
