i Model School Teacher.

A tolorably athletic young man
took certain school to teach years
ago in Western New York after a
number of pedagogues had tried it
and given it up in despair. The
big boys had driven the teachers
away invariably, and the discour-
agement was so complete the first
day that they were not willing to
undertake a second edition.
This young man took hold with
a full knowledge CT the difficulty,
and with a hope that he could sue
ceed. He was mild.mannered, and
he opened the school the first day
with a pleading smile on his lips
that made even the small boys
reckless. He was taking the
names of the children, and pro-
gressed without difficulty till he
came to John Tarbox, tle ring
leader of the unruly ones, and the
boy who always give the signal for
'trouncing the MASTER
The new teacher approached him
with q sweet smile on his face and
said:
The boy leaned back in his seat
put his feet over the top ofthe desk
and looked cross eyed at the new
teacher, while the school roared.
'Please tell me your name,' re-
peated the teacher pleadingly, and
without noticing this rudeness.
'Wall,' drawled the fellow, some
times they call me Bob, and some
times they call me Pete, and some
times they call me somethin' else,
but you better not call me any
thing
The imild-looking teacher had
been expecting all this; there he
had the advantage. He had pre-
pared himself for a fight, not a
fight for a minute, but for an hour,
or day, if need be; he had been in
a manner trained for it, and so,
inst as the last words were out OF
the boys mouth, he dealt the big
lubber a blow between the eyes
that stunned him, and then grasp
ing him by the collar dragged him
headlong over the seats, stood him
upon the floor with q jam, and
thundered out:
'What is your name'
John Tarboxp exclaimed the
boy, promptly, with his eyes fairly
bulging from his head.' oi
very we'll. Take your seat,
john said the teacher. And John
took it. I'D
There was no more difficulty,
and at the end of the season that
school was said to be the best in
that whole country.

night at poker in John Hancock's
saloon, which is still running on
the avenue, from Colonel Jim
Bright, who lived at Falls Church,
Va. Bright used to come over
every week and play poker with
Clay, and he generally went back
to Pals Church with a pocketful
of money. But that was Clay's
lucky night. He got away with
200 of Bright's money, his
watch, saddle and bride, overcoat,
saddle bags, new suit Of clothes
that were in the saddle bags, three
finger rings and a breaspin, a brace
of pistols and a pair of boots
'Oh, you needn't laugh said the
old-timer, with great animation;
that's the way they played poker
in them days. A man went the
whole hog or nothing. Why,
didn't you never hear of the time
Henry Clay bet himself clean down
down to his undershirt, and be
offered, to pull that off, but the
o ther fellow didn't wear an under
shirt to put up against it? Well,
sir, it's so anyhow, and the very
table he played the game on is now
in the front room up stairs over
Hancock's saloon. It's an old pine
table about three feet square, with
a hole in the middle to drop the
percentages though for threes,
fulls, flushes and jack-pots. Well,
about that old stallion. He was
well.know around Washington for
several years. He always nickered
when Clay came near him. Clay
carried a pocketful of shelled corn,
and he gave the horse a handful
every time he got into the buggy
The boys knew the stallion well,
and they used to give him pieces
of bread, cakes, nuts, or anything
of the sort. He'd eat watermelon
and meat, and I've seen him eat
wads of paper, as though he was
trying to make the boys laugh
Well, sir, Clay had a niger named
Sam. One day he loaned the
stallion to Sam to drive to Alex
andria. Sam got drunk before he
left town, and he started out on a
gallop. He didn't stop till he got
to Mount Vernon, twenty miles off.
Then he turned around, ,and galloped
all the way back. The old stallion
dropped dead at the edge off South
Washington. There were over one
hundred boys at the funeral. In
revenge Clay sold the niger to a
Louisiana sugar planter, with a
proviso in the bill of sale that the
planter should hitch Sam in shafts
and work him in a cane mill. Fact,
sir p-HoustOn Post.

Henry Clay's Horses.

4 recollect Henry Clay's turnout
very welI,' said an old resident of
Washington. 'He had one of the
old style Concord buggies, with a
top that suggested Mother Hub
bard bonnet. 1t was evidently a
secondhand affair that Mr.. Clay
had picked up in a trade, and
nowadays would do very we'll for
an old woman to haul vegetables
around town in.
THE cushions were stuffed with
moss, and so well worn you could
see the moss sticking out of the
sides. I'll bet Henry Clay didn t
know what a laprobe was, and as
for a whip he didn't have any. He
used to slash his old sorrel stallion
with the ends of the reins so loud
you could hear 1t a block off. The
steps of the buggy were gone, and
Mr.. Clay used to jump over the
wheels. When he wanted to get
in he put one foot on the hub and
swung the other round over the
wheels and dashboard. The
wheels we're so high he had to let
the top down to get out. They
had axlegrease in those days, but
Mr.. Clay had evidently never found
it out. He always drove his horse
at a canter, and you could hear
the wheels of. his buggy squeaking
as many notes as there are on the
piccolo. r.s ..sa
'Ah, ,awell do / remember that
sorrel stallion continued the old
timer. sUenrv Clav won him one

happened to be on a visit to his
castle. AS soon as the youth be-
held the maiden he became en-
amored of her, and desired to be
welded next day; and marriage
was celebrated with much splendor,
the bride looking more beautiful
than ever in her wedding garments.
After a day or two the knight
told his nephew that he must go to
York to seek the knight, his father,
and tell him that he had obeyed his
commands. The young husband
was unwilling to leave his wife;
however he departed with many
promises of a speedy return.
He had not been gone long when
his father arrived-they had miss
ed each other on the road-and
when the York knight learned
what had happened he was almost
mad with rage. He asked his
daughter-in-law to come with him
outside the castle, then, seizing her
by the hair, he dragged her to the
sea-shore and drew dagger. She
fell on her knees.
Spare my life,' she said, 'and
tell me how 1 have angered yOu?'
At this he told her history, and
bade her prepare for death, but at
last her tears and entreaties so far
softened him that he sheathed his
dagger; then, plucking a gold ring
from his finger, he flung it into the
sea.
Swear to me- he said, that you
will not come into my sight or that
of my son till that ring is on your
finger, and will spare your llte.
She swore, and then she fed in
wild terror, till she found herself
in strange place, obliged to beg
for food.
At last, after long wanderings,
she became cook to a nobleman.
One day, as she looked out of the
window at the guests arriving for
banquet, she saw her cruel ene-
my and his son, her dearly beloved
husband. She drew back hastily,
and then she trembled so that she
could hardly cook dinner. Just
before it was ready fisherman
came to the door. He had brought
a splendid fish for sale, and she
took it in and began to clean it.
All at once she saw something
glitter inside it.
She looked closer; it was the
knights ring; then she ceased
trembling, her fear changed to
joy, and she cooked dinner to per-
lection.
'Who is your cook, my lordT
asked the knight, who, notwith-
standing his cruelty, was extreme
ly fond of good eating.
'She is a strange girl, but she is
fair to see, his host answered; 'she
came begging to my door, and |
took her in from charity; then
turning to the servants behind
him: Some of you bid the cook
come up into the diuing-hall.'
The girl washed her face and
smoothed her hair, then she put
on her best clothes, and with the
ring on her finger she entered the
hall.
The guests looked at her with
wonder, for she seemed to them
'as lovely as a rose
But the knight uttered fierce
We" and started froIa his seat. He
DIRE, his sword, and made rush
at her, but she smiled and held up
her hand. On it he saw the ring
which he had cast into the sea. He
saw, too, that her young husband
stood beside her and clasped her
in his arms. Then the knight bent
his head, for he saw that fate had
been too strong for him, and he
suffered her to dwell peacefully |
with her loving husband, and she
became famous through the coun-
try for her beauty, her courtesy and
her goodness Belgravia.

DurtfeaI,
SONG.

Nv love dwelt in a northern land,
A gray tower in a forest green
Was his, and far on either hand
The long wash of the waves was seen,
Ard leagues and leagues Of yellow sand
The woven forest boughs between
And through the clear, faint northern night
The sunset slowly died away,
And herds of strange deer, silver white,
Stole forth among the branches gray;
About the coming of the light
They fed like ghosts before the day
| know not if the forest green
Still girdles round that castle gray;
l know not if the houghs between
The white deer vanish ere the day;
Above my love the grass is green,
My heart is colder than the clay

Bill Arp, in Home and Farm
says: "The best farmers are
those who experiment and OBJ
serve closely, and reason upon
things. Most farmers do no,
improve at all. but follow along
in the old ruts and do as their
fathers did. Jenkins goes BY
tic moon and the sigus of the
zodiac. because his father did.
Jenkins predicts rain. at every
change Of the moon, and. that
10 four times q month. and il
the rain comes two or three
days before or after, it is all
the same-the moon did it. II
it don't come at all for q month
or two months, jenkins never
goes back on his sign" We
hate to say it's . frozen fact
all the same, that tho Jenkins
family are by no means confined
to Mr.. Apps neighbor hood,
there are some even in this
section.
