Company, do some remarkable
work with the shotgun yesterday.
He broke ninety-two out OF hun

sit at table, reading newspaper,
having his gun unchecked on the
table, and ON the trap being sprung
would jump up, cock the gun, fire,
and catch both glass spheres before
they touched the sawdust, sixty

10 Preach or DIE.
Harper's Drawer for March

Among the hills of Northern Con-
neticut are many quaint characters,
solemn in mien, sturdy and honest
in their dealings, but with vein of
undertaking hunOr that crops out
daily in their conversation. Among
them was one J-S-, or Uncle
Jessie, as he was Familiarity called.
Early in life he studied hard to fit
himself for the ministry, and when
he thought himself perfected he
called on old Father p, noted
Baptist minister of that day in s.
anu told him he must either preach
the gospel or die, and stated his
wish to be examined. Aftera rigid
examination Father P-leaned
his head upon his hands and re-
manned silent for a few minutes :;
then suddenly looking up he said ;

Reautify The school Room.
Practical Teacher,

The influence of the teacher over
his scholars is next to that of the
parent. The school room, in pleas
ant associations, should be next
TO his home not place separate and
distinct from the rest OF his life,
where he has the feeling OF being
compelled to attend, and where he
is closely confined, but with pleas
ant connection links it should bind
him to the past with pleasant MEM
orieS. These children come from
all sorts of homes and home int1u-
ences, To some taste, beauty and
refinement are so closely connected
as to form part of their being,
while others are strangers to them,
and catch but occasional glimpseS OF
that fairy land, or struggle with
the soul hungry for that which Is
DoSsessed by them only in shadowy
dreams. How shall the fine sus-
ceptibility of one be kept untarnish-
ed? the dormant sensibility of the
other awakened to q more actual,
Genuine reality? The daily sur
rouudings feed the mind with
thought, aud by their silent teach
mos mould the character. Then
educate the heart as well "a the
head. Fill the room with that
which will have tendency to ele-
waite and refine. It can be done IN
a certain degree by every teacher, ,
with but little expense and great
profit.

Edwin James was counsel for the

fresh himself ere retiring to have
his wounds dressed, with a draught
of beer from a wooden bottle, when
an implOring cry from wounded
Swede, lying on the field, made
him turn, and, with the very words
of Sidney, "Thy need is greater
than mine," he knelt down by the
fallen enemy to pour the liquor into
his mouth. His requital was pis-
tol-shot in the shoulder from the
treacherous SWede.
"Rascal!' he cried. 81 would
have befriended you, and you
would murder me in return. Now
will punish you. / would have
given you the whole bottle; but
now you shall have only half"
And drinking off half himself, he
gave the rest to the Swede. The
king hearing the story, sent for the
burgher and asked him how he
came to spare the life of such a ras-
cal.
"Sire," said the honest burgher,
~ could never kill wounded en-

The Real Home.

The ideal home is a haven of rest
where the husband and wife both
have their own way in everything ;
where the children never cry
where the servants are models OF
honesty and industry where the
dinner is never late and is always
well cooked where there is no per
ceptible washing-day; where the
sweeping and the busting are done
when nobody knows it; where sell
fishness and bad temper are never
known; in short little Heaven
upon earth, inhabited by thor
Oughly angelic mortals. Homes of
that kind, constructed upon a scien-
titic basis, and served hot, like
steam through subterranean pipes,
would meet Il long-felt want. Near
ly every family would subscribe for
one.
