WcuHeSudy ECenlng-lDe evening lee
ture was by Rev. DIR. J. II. Vincent, a
popular and welLknown divine. The
opera house was crowded to the doors
with an intelligent and appreciative audi
ence, and tho exercises began with q solo
and quartet, "Wait Till tho Clouds Go
By" the s,lo being sung by Mr.. John F..
Heinitsh, and tho refrain by Misses Mary
Sener and Clara Hocb, Prof. Hall and Mr..
S. ID. Bausman. It was beautifully rem
dered and evoked applause. Superintend-
ent Shaub then in a few words of we'll
timed compliment introduced tho orator
DIR. Vincent entertained his hearers with
a disquisition upon "That Boy" pointing
out and enlaIging upon tho varied> at
tributes of character that make him such
precious nuisance during the growing
stage of his life, but whom the world
mOurns when lie passes off the theatre of
action because he did not live longer He
spoke not of tho bad boy who is hung at
20 nor of the good boy who dies at 10, but
of tho average boy and whatsoever is i'm
piled in that comprehensive term. The
lecturer rapidly sketched the ca, eer of
that boy, beginning with tho baby boy
who is loved and petted by all, passing on
to the real bona fido boy at years of age
and at 12 when life is one long ApriIfool
day tor him and when he so greatly needs
the authority and tenderness born Of
abiding and :,boanding love. Twelve
and four make sixteen, and here is the last
glimpse you will ever get Of that boy.
Tho doctor iin .trated tho phases of boy
life with httl' incidents and stories re.
lated in a pleasing manner and designed
to show the qualities and attributes that
enter So largely into the juvenile charac-
teristics, and his words were endowed
with warmth OF admiration and consid-
Grafton for the real honest, manly boy
that infected his audience. He was es-
pecially affecting when he dwelt upon the
love, honor and respect which that boy,

all strung out Ill an immense
parade, intc:spersed with bands of
music, would make by dancing up and
down the state. How such a display would
impress our people, and yet it would not
take into consideration the work done.
This vast army of 950, 900 children which
is to take our place in tho battle Of life, is
i'm the control Of our teachers, and their
responsibility is great. But Immediately
we are confronted by \ adiscOuragement-a
false economy. To educate tho children
of this commonwealth it costs on AL aver
ago of only IS cents per month for each
child, and in no section does it cost more
than So per month. To inveigb against
this is false economy. DIR. Higbee had
made the computation himself aud found
that the average salary of tho female
teacher in this state is $27 per month, the
male teachers S35. 10 per month. and the
average yearly salary is q little less
than 5000. While such arc the facts
we cannot expect to retain ability in the
est of a false economy, the power Of work,
ter from the teaching profession. When
we consider that our teachers constitute
tie rising young men and women in their
ents, many Of them, embrace the best
educators in the world, ard that the
average salary is only 5000 per year. it
simply overwhelms US with shame.

were not uncommon. One OF the most

COntempt OF Court.


The famous and witty John Baldwin,
Tor indulging in contemptuous language
IN an Allegany county Justices court,
Angelica Jail for twenty days. BY liz
own assurance and daring, however, he
managed to escape. After the Justice
had pronounced this sentence upon
Baldwin be proceeded to draw the nit
timus which empowered the constable
to take the disrespectful lawyer into
custody. The justice, who was an in
different and slow penman, was long
time in preparing the somewhat tech
nical document. Baldwin, who watched
the proceedings with the deepest in
terest, waited until the magistrate was
about to sign the warrant, when he
suddenly seized large inkstand full OF
inh aud pVuied it's contents over the
fearful paper, destroying in an instant
the hard work OF an hour. This done,
he mounted his horse and escaped into
Steuben county beyond the reach Of
another mittimus.
In the early days OF Buffalo lead
ing lawyer was arguing q cause in the
Court of Common Pleas where one oi
the side judges presided-the first
Judge not being on the bench. To
show his superiority, the Judge often
put irritating questions to the counsel.
To holp the matter along, the two other
side judges on the bench annoyed the
lawyer in a similar manner.
At last he could endure this no longer.
and, pausing in the midst OF his argu.
ment, he said: "If your Honors will
excuse me would like to say that this
court reminds me of Virginia rag-bsg
team"
"Well, sir, what kind Of team do
you call that p asked the Judge.
''It is team, your Honor, composed
of two mules and jackass."
For this the lawyer was fined S15 and
two. days imprisonment.

SUNSHINE.

There are too many people In this
world who think that it Is q bridge of

rainy ones. The fact Is, We make the

''school-marm" OF Weston she was the
one who should speak with authority.

whose ship had never been heard from

sailors who drifted to Weston, this was
. noted fact: but she did not moan OF
sob; she worked. She delighted in
children, and their joys and gladness,
and they returned her love with
supreme affection.
The poor, too, were Miss Susie's care,
and all who knew her declared that she
was an angel, and that she would yet
meet q rich reward.
There came to Weston q poor but
striving mechanic, named Warren
Green, and finding out that he had
several children, Miss Susie immedi-
ately sought the eldest for her scholar.
He was o bright-eyed, earnest little
fellow, who held aloof from other
children, until Fay vane. the village
magnate, went to him and said, extend
ing her hand
"Are you coming here to school ?"
Charlie Green had not been used to
much kindness outside OF his home,
especially from such bright and sunny
creatures as Fay Vane, and her kind
ness moved him strongly, but he took
the extended hand and answered
eyes, il they will let me-"
Now Fay was an only child, whose
every wish, even at school, had been
granted. She was, too, of kind and
happy nature, and ieers, and laughter
that 10 harder than jeers, were unknown

Applauding a Bill's Passage.

There was an unusual and touching
scene in the House Of Representatives
at Washington recently. In the front
row of the gallery, while the Sennte
bill providing for the payment OF the
claim for the destruction Of the brig
General Armstrong was under consid-
Grafton, sat lady with four curly
headed little boys and one sweet-faced
little girl. The little group manifested
great interest in the proceedings. They
kept their eyes on the floor and watched
when the tellers announced every vote.
When the speaker announced the re-
sult-the passage Of the bill by two
thirds majority-the boys, unable to
contain themselves, leaped upon the
bench on which they had been sitting
and clapted their hands vigorously,
kissing the lady who had them in charge
the while. or course they attracted
the attention of the house, and as soon
as IL had been whispered around that
they were Mrs. Reid and her children,
the heirs to whom tardy justice was
about to be done, the men on the floor
Joined in the applause OF the curly
heads in the gallery.
