H,w dear to my heart is tho old-fashioncd
schoolma'am,
When sad recolections present them to view
Iae way which she'd often we boys with rule
lamm
Would make the whole future look fearfully
blue.
And still in my fancy feel my flesh tingle,
Time never can quito the sensation destroy,
Fps when she got ratified she made the house
The old fashioned schoolma' am / knew when
boy;
Tsle ro1-headed schoolma'am, the strong mus.
cled schoolmn am,
The arguseyed schoolma'am knew when O
boy.
IF we dared crook a finger twas quickly de-
tected
And followed at once with a punishment
dread
Untii all tho boys in tho school half suspected
She could soc just as we'll with the back Of her
head.
There. then, was no use in our irving to fool
her,
She had IN impression couldn't destroy.
And so she would earnestly lay on the ruler
The old-fashioned schoolma'am 1 knew when
aboy;
Ehe red-headed scboolma'am the strong mus
cled schoolmaam,
The argus-eyed schoolma'am knew when
boy.
And yet, notwithstanding her constant en-
deavor
Our school days with sly, boyish pleasure
We're fraught,
We always We're into some mischief whenever
We thought we could do it without being
caught.
We threw paper wads and were noisy and
pranky,
And did everything which We could to annoy
No wonder that once in while she was cranky
The old-fashioned schoolmaam knew when
boy:
Ihe boardcd-round schoolmn'am the under
paid schoolmn'am
The much abused schoolma'am 1 knew when
Il boy.

4 R1SHOe IN TIE SALOONS.

Bishop Talcott, of the diocese OF
Montana and Idaho, preached at st.
Stephens Protestant Episcopal Church.
In the course of his address on the sub
ject of the work that has been and is to be
done in his field the Bishop gave char
acteristic experience of his IN mining
town where he desired to hold services
and to have the inhabitants know OF and
attend the services. He said:
II arrived in the town on Saturday
morning. It was payday and an
unusual crowd was about. Ihad printed
circular, which was placed in all the
conspicuous places. Then 1 started
about to see how it was being received,
and, to my dismay, found that there
were too many other circulars about for
much attention to be paid to it. Clearly
I must get at the people in another
way. But how? Looking about soon
found that the majority of the inhabi-
tants were in the saloons. 1t was an
odd thing to do, but determined to go
into the saloons and speak to the men
myself. So started down the street.
1.-The first saloon 1 came to entered.
Several men looked curiously at me as
I asked for the proprietor. I was taken
back into most comfortably furnished
room, where the proprietor was. in
troduced myself saying: I have come
to pay my respects. Will you introduce
me to these gentlemen?
with great pleasure said he, and
minute later I was shaking hands with
the boys and talking to them. Gen
tlemen, said l, I am going to hold serv
ices in the Town Hall tomorrow morn
ing, and want to get the people there.
Will you help me?'
Yes, sir, they answered. Bishop,
you can depend on us. Well see you
through And they did. I visited the
other saloons with almost identical re-
suits, and the following morning you
would have thought that the circus had
come to town from the crowds that
focked to the service. have never
preached to more reverent congrega-
ton than they WERE"
At the close of the sermon DR.. Nc
Cornell spoke few words urging that
the donations for the work should be
large, and announcing that the offertory
would be for Bishop Talcott's diocese.
An unusually large collection followed.

SAD SPORT.

The taking OF harmless life, even for
sciences sake, involves a violation OF
human feeling, and persons are to be
pitied who can slaughter innocent an
imals without conjunction for mere
gain, or worse, for mere sport. A cor
respondent writes from New York to
the Chicago Herald:
A gentleman stood in front of fur
rier's store contemplating the seal gar
ments that filed the windows.
Il never see q sealskin coat" he
said, "that I am not reminded of
heart-breaking day Ipassed among the
seal-killers."
Then he told of joining an expedi-
ton when he was young man, and go
ing out for the sport of seal killing.
They knocked the pretty creatures on
the head. The seals were so tame, al
fectionate and fearless that when the
hunters landed they crowded round
them like dogs, making their little,
friendly bark, and fawning upon the
murderous hands that proceeded to
stretch them as bloody corpses upon
the beach.
The man related how sick at heart he
got, and how he tried to get away from
this massacre of the innocents. To this
day the sight of sealskin coat recalls
the wretched sensation he then ex-
perienced.
This reminds us of Gilbert White, OF
Selborne, when he first shot a lapwlng,
and the remorse he felt when the bird
dipped it's bill in it's mortal wound and
looked up into his face.

A Good Sign.

One of the best symptoms of a
healthy and holy believer is that his
soul is sending up incense of praise
to God every day. I often ragale
myself with reading the late Rev.
Gustavus Fosters delightful and racy
narrative of old "Uncle Johnson" a
pious negro who died in Michigan at
over one hundred years of age.
Uncle johnson is one of my "clas-
sics." He lived in a little cabin
whose windows opened toward
heaven. One day. when he was at
work in mis- little garden. singing and
shouting, his pastor looked over the
fence and said, "Uncle, you seem
very happy to-day" "Yes, massa,
Use just tinking." "What are you
thinking about ?" Oh. Use tlnking"
and the tears ran down his black
face-"dat if de crumbs of joy dat
fall from de Massa's table in dis
world is so good. what will de big
loaf up in glory be-? Dar will be
enuff and to spare up dar." The old
man gave as a reason for not going
oftener to prayer-meeting-"I can't
'have myself" "You cannot behave
yourself why not ?" "Well, massa.
ob late years de flesh is gettin' weak,
and when dey begin to sing and talk
about Jesus, 1 gins to fill up, and I
has to holler, and den some one'll
say, Garry that ole man out !; he
'sturbs de meetin'. But l can't hold
in. bust eff 1 don't holler." What
a blessed thing it would be if some of
our prayer-meetings-that are dying
of dignity-were walked up by joy
full "holler" of some soul that, like
Uncle johnson, was bursting with
the gratitude to the Lord God of
love DR.. Cuyler.
