at moderate speed through the Pecos

the whistle couple Of blasts and kept
straight ahead surprising Of course,
that the brutes would take the hint

scornfuily surveyed the approaching

Some people appear to be born spell
ers. while others, labor as hard as they
may, never become masters OF the intri-
cate art. OF the latter class is an es-
timable gentleman living in q Massa-
chusetts town.
He had brother of whom he was
very fond, residing in distant city, and
with who m he kept up constant cor
respondeuce.
The brother, who was an excellent
speller, taunted him with his poor Or
biography in nearly every letter. At
length becoming exaperated at some
expression in one of his brothers letters,
he went to friend and said:
Il am determined to have every word
in my next letter spelled correctly If it
takes me ali day to write it.
Accordingly the next Sunday he ap-
piled himself fconscientiously to his task,
and after examining the dictionary at
intervals of every two seconds, suc-
ceeded in producing an epistle which
he bore to his friend in triumph.
He was assured that oil the words
were correctly spelled, and was highly
delighted at the result of his labors.
Finally an idea seemed to strike him.
Holding the letter out at arms length,
and looking at it admiringly, he said:
