The Dangers of Grammar.

Mr.. EDITOR-I have been sendin'
my dater Nancy to school to q school
master in this naborhood. Last Friday
| went over to the school just to see how
Nancy was gettin' along, and | sees
things didn't like by no means, The
schoolmaster was learnin' her things
entirely out of the line of eddycation,
and as 1 think improper.
| sat awhile in the schoolhouse and
heered one class say their lesson. They
were spellin', and 1 thot spelled quite
exceedingly. Then came Nancy's turn
to say her lesson. She said it very
spry. | was shot! and determined
she should leave that school. have
heered that grammer was an uncom-
monty fine study, but don't want any
more grammer in my house.
The lesson which Nancy sed was
nothin' but the foolishist kind NV talk,
the ridicles luv talk you ever seed.
She got up, and the first word she said
was
81 love-"
looked rite at her for doin' so i'm
proper, but she went rite on, and sed,
Thou lowest, he loves" and | reckon
you never heard such a riggermyrole
in your life-love, love, love, and
nothin' but love.
She sed one time, Il did love-"
Sez l, ''Who did you love?"
Then the scholars laffed, but wasn't
to be put off, andI sed-
"Who did you love, Nancy? I want
to know-who did you love?"
The schoolmaster, Mr. M Quillister,
put in, and sed he would explain when
Nancy had finished the lesson. This
sorter pacitied me, and Nancy went on
with awful love talk. 1t got wus and
wus every word.
She said, Il might, could, or would
love-"
stopped her again, and sed l reck-
on | would see about that, and told
her to walk out of that house. The
schoolmaster tried to interfere, but
wouldent let him say word. He sed
| was fool, and l knocked him down
and made him holler in short order.
| taukt the strate thing to him. l told
him lde show him how hedc learn my
dater grammer. Irish Ftreside.

wen. perhaps may stay here, may
work for lncm and tor you. What is
there would not resign for my Norah?
You are near your home; give me one
smile, and, now, dearest, goodnight" "
Norah did smile on him, and softly
opening the wicket, she stole TO her
own chamber and soon tel asleep
full of thoughts of the possibility of her
parents sanction of her lovers suit.
She slept soundly for several hours.
At last, awakening with 4 wild
scream, she started from her bed,
neglected to replace the stone! 1t
cannot yet be morning. No-no-no
the grey dawn is just appearing. l
will run, l shall be i'll time"
As she flew along the well-known
path, the tops of the eastern hills were
red with the near approach of sunrise.
Is that the first sunbeam that gilds
yonder mountainp No! it can not bo
--she will yet be in time.
Norah had now reached a spot from
whence, looking downward, she could
see the well, at the distance of 4 few
hundred yards. She stood like statue;
her eyes were fixed; one hand grasped
her forehead, with the other she point
ed forward. So suddenly had amaze
ment arrested her flight, that her atti-
tude retained the appearance of mo-
ton; she might have passed for the
statue of girl running, but she was
motionless. The unclouded morning
sun was shining brightly on the spot;
the spring, once so gentle, was now
sending forth a foaming torrent which
was rapidly inundating the valley
Already the alarmed villagers were
rushing from their cabins, but Norah
did not move; her hand was still point
ed toward the spot, but she appeared
unconscious of danger
Still the foaming torrent poured
forth, and the water approached the
spot where she stood; Coolin, who had
been seeking her everywhere, now ran
towards her; his footsteps reused her,
and crying, MY parents! save them!'
she fell at his feet.
He bore her in his arms up q hill
which was near them; still the torrent
ragged behind them, the vast flood be-
came wider and deeper.
When they reached the summit of
the hill it appeared to be wooded is
land. water surrounding them on every
side, and their resting-place gradually
became smaller and smaller.
Many other green islands were to be
seen, some less extensive than that on
which they found temporary security;
and they gradually grew smaller and
smaller, and vanished one by one.
"Oh! that we were on the summit of
yon mountain" said Coolin, and kiss
ing Norah's pale cheek, he cried, 1s
there no hope9 my poor girl, my own
dear love"
''My parents.-my parents?" ex-
claimed Norah, "where are they? Oh!
they have persisted, the victims of their
only child's disobedience!"
Clasped in each others arms, the
lovers awaited their doom. The wa
ters still rose higher and higher-the
island became indistinct-it was a
speck-it was gone!
The cause of the calamity having ex-
plated her error, the wrath of the fairy
was appeased. The waters rose no
more, but the beautiful valley of the
fairy well now lies under the clear wa
ters of the Lakes of Killarney. The

Zion's Church (colored) of Bath, N.
Y, lately engaged a new shepherd,
who informed the committee that he
had preached all de way from Sam
francisco to Buffalo" After his
initial sermon, wishing to show his
liberality and set a good example to
the brethren, he, with lAany q flourish,
dropped dime into Elucr Rackbush's S
hat as he started on his "gedderin''
trip around the church. Returning to
the pulpit the elder handed the hat to
the preacher, who, peering in anx-
iously, found that not only had no one
contributed, but his own dime was
gone. Lifting up the empty hat by
the crown, aud shaking it before the
congregation, he exclaimed: 80

All the great masters almost make
their novels end well. Scott only
breaks down now and then, as in the
bride of Lammermoor." Dickens
preferred rather mixed end, as wa S
natural-he had so many villains gen.
orally to accommodate. Thackeray
was born pessimist; but even he had
to make believe very much that the
wills were found in books and old car
riages; that Dobbin was made happy,
thanks to moral miracle; that Give
married Ethel, and Ivanhoc Rowena.
He knew better, he knew very well
how novels end in real life, as any one
may see by studying the description of
Give at Barnes Newcome's lecture.
But he was obliged, and very proper
ly, to give his readers the necessary
lump of sugar at the bottom of the
teacup.
