RESTLESS.

At what time during the daily session
of your school do you find your pupils
most restless? Our experience has been
that they are most restless Immediately
after recess. They want to brush their
coats, clear their throats, wipe the per-
spiration from their faces and do many
other little things that seem almost un-
aYoidable, and yet somewhat disturb the
teacher. In other words, when boy has
given himself up fully to play for an
hour, it takes several minutes for reac-
tion TO take place sufficiently for him to
settle down to hard study. Would it
not be we'll for some exercise of general
interest TO be introduced at that particu-
lar period? In two schools we know of,
ten or fifteen minutes Immediately after
recess are given to singing. Capital
idea that, We think, Children like 10
sing. Itquiets their nerves, Gains their
buoyant spirits and prepares them for
the work before them. If the teacher
cannot sing himself, let another exercise
take the place of the music: let ten
minutes be devoted to mutual criticisms.
Let any grammatical error or words mis-
used on the play ground be reported and
corrected. Let the error and the correc-
,ion be written on the blackboard, if
YOU have a board to spare for that pur-
sp5se and let them remain until the close
of the evening session. While the child

Why Hancock Died Poor.

Surprise is expressed that General
Hancock did not leave a larger estate be-
hind him, but he was generous to fault,
and he had many calls upon his charity
It was the heavy cross of his life that his
twin brother, for thirty years resident of
distant western city, had disappointed
his expectations, lost his ambition and
sunk into living death. His brother
was a lawyer, one of the most brilliant in
the northwest, clearing from $4,000 to
$4,000 year by his practice, when he
fell a victim to his love for good company
and good cheer. He went down from
his high position like rocket, and for
the last fifteen years has been entirely
supported by his brother, the general.
There is touching little bit of romance
connected with this sad story. The law
yer was, in his prime, a magnificent
looking man, and became engaged to the
beautiful daughter Of lady in whose
house he boarded The engagement
began twenty-five years ago. But the
lady saw danger ahead, and she refused
to marry her ardent and handsome wooer
until he would forswear the flowing bowl
and show himself thoroughly reformed
man. He still lives in the same house,
and the lady is there too and still un-
welded. She is true to her love, but is
equally true to her promise, and, while
she tenderly cares for the man she loves
and mourns, she knows that her life is
wrecked and that there is no hope now
on this side of the grave. The world is
full of such unnoticed heroines.

Repentance.

The sexton of a Methodist church in
certain village in Alabama is Enoch
Smith, negro about so years Of age.
In his own church Enoch stands some-
what higher, being member of the
board of stewards, and, so far as the fu.
ture is concerned, with very fair chance
of promotion.
a little thing happened the other day,
which but for the unfortunate disclosure
Of himself by the Perpetrator of the joke,
would without doubt have elevated
Enoch in the opinion of his brethren,
but alas
Late Saturday afternoon Enoch was
engaged in making the white peoples
church ready for the next days services.
The solitude of the place was rendered
more fearful by heavy rain, thunder and
lightning outside, and Enoch is excusa-
BILE for feeling, as he expressed it,
mighty jubous." A negro drayman
sought refuge from the rain in the
church porch, and when he looked into
the church and saw the sexton with his
back turned, he stealthily entered and
concealed himself under the benches.
The sexton swept, the Lightning flashed,
the thunder rolled-and then came a
stiffness, which was at length broken by
a voice, uttering in sepulcral tone, the
one word:
"Enoch '
Enoch turned around but saw no one
he quivered; his flesh begun to creep
Again, louder, more awful:
"Enoch '
Enoch, with both hands held the
broom, but answered not-his heart clog
ged the way. Once more in tones of
thunder came the words:
"Enoch Turn, and come over on de
Lawd's side !"
Enoch felt that it was answer or die,
and so by a mighty effort he swallowed
his heart and literally screamed forth:
"Yeh, my lawd!"
CHOW many wives you got?" said the
voice.
Euoch was now beside himself with
terror, and, falling upon his knees,
chanted at the top of his voice:
ooh! Marse Jesus You know hits
FIVE, widout er AKIN Nv me, but spar me
now, spar me now'n' I'll glib um all up!
Yes, good Lawd, spar po' Enoch jes dis
ouct-'. Here the familiar voice of Ben
Andrews, the drayman, inquired:
"What'n old Harry you hollerin'
'bout?"
Enoch gave vent to resonant groan
of mingled relief and chagrin, and, as
the laughing questoner arose, resumed
his sweeping with the remark:
II seed you when you fust come in"

The Last Words of a Drunkarl,

The following extracts were taken
from one of the lectures of ]. j. Talbot,
who recently died from the effects of a
drunken debauch at Elkhart, Ind:
"But now the struggle is over, l can

To the uniuitiated, this order to get;

queer proceeding, but according tothee
explanation given by the railroad men,
is necessary step toward a speedy COR
summation of the work that is to sbeS$
done. Spike drawing, it seems, is a
peculiarly difficult branch of labor, aud
no "green" hand can stand up to it forSl
two hours at a stretch. The cause
said to exist in the fact that the drawing
of spikes exerts peculiar strain upon
the muscles of the wrist; and that any
ordinary laborer after days labor ats

When Cowed.

AS the steamer moves grandly out of
port and plunges her nose into the white.
capped seas which the half.gale is tossing
up, there is no fear aboard, even among
the children. Is she not a stout, stauuch
craft and her officers brave men?
BY and by, when she was crept further
away from shelter, there is longer run
to the seas and their power to Toss her
about is more fully realized. Then, too,
there is something in the voice of the
gale which carries warning of danger /;
but no one is afraid. The children crowd
closer and the women look bit anxious,
but the deck hands whistle and sing and
rollick, as if stout ships were never
shattered by wind and wave.
In an hour looks of anxiety have taken
the place of jest and song. Braces are
brought to the gangways, loose freight is
restowed and men look out to sea to find
adark, ominous cloud seemingly creeping
out of the wild waters and ascending the
wintry sky. 1t climbs up inch by inch.
1t is not ragged and broken, but dense'
dark cloud which means more than an
increase of the gale.

ened. The steamer has begun to labor
as she is held up to her course. There is
creaking and groaning and moaning and
complaining, and now and then the low
of COW or the neigh of horse on the
main deck carry such apprehension in
the tones as to make the human heart
beat faster.
Now the black cloud opens to discharge
its arrows of vengeance. Scarcely send.
ing down an advance flake as warning,
it suddenly pours from its bosom such a
smother of snow that daylight is lost in
moment, and the eye of IN eagle could
not penetrate fifty feet into the smother.
Now there is wild delight and vengeful
exultation among the elements. There
is Aendish scream to the gale as it
sweeps down with renewing violence-an
angry, baffled roar to the seas, riding
down after each other as if they would
leap clear over the ship-a seeming spite
in every dash of spray against the quiv-
ering upper works.
An on and on-actual night shuts
down-and a living gale sweeps madly
over the foamy waste-snd the sea is
lashed to such fury that it bellows and
roars and raves like ten thousand mad
and terror-stricken animals. 1t is now
th.. women and children would go to
their death without lifting hand to
savc-with only long, lingering vail of
despair as the waters seized them. 1t is
now that stout hearts are cowed and
awcd-that brave men feel helpless in
the presence of the mighty wrath.
If the vengeful elements drag the good
ship to her grave, men say OF her that
she struggled long and brayely. If
guided safely into port, there is praise
and admiration for the bravery of each
and every man. 1t is forgotten that,
