My first meeting with Henry Ward
Bcecher was in the early part of May,
1880. He vas n classmate of n brother
of mine, in Amherst college. and very
close friends. The two we're Just out of
their freshman year when, together
with another college classmate, they
walked from Amherst to my fathers
house at west Sutton for their spring
vacation, writes Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher in the first paper on MIR.
Beecher as | Knew Him." in
the October Ladies' Home Journ-
al. At that time young Beecher
was not quite II years old.
bI so young and boyish was his ap-
pcarance thatno n would have thought
him more than l5-an age when boys are
usually awkward and painfully bashful.
For that reason my family feared we
might not be able to entertain or make
the young man comfortable. But awk-
ward he never was, and his roguish
mouth, his laughing, merry eyes, his
quaint humor, and his quick repartee
SOOn dispclled all such anxiety.
Before the first evening he spent at
our house had passed, none of the family
felt him to be u stranger,
My father was absent with some of his
patients when the young men arrived.
but returned In the evening when all
were laughing heartily at some story
Henry had just told. Father stood in
the d~oorway-tall, dignttied and some
what storm, ut such Il tumult. When
aware OF his presence, my brother at
once introduced his classmates.
Little by little the same subtle influ-
enccs which mad pervaded the whole
evenings enjoyment stole I'VE fathers
face, and long before it was time TO re-
tire, they were telling mirth-provoking
stories as eheerfully as If they were
boys together.
When ut length the good nights
wore exchanged | left father ana
mother by the fire | made some prepa-
rations for breakfast.
AS | returned to the room father was
saying:
well, he is smart! He'll make his
mark in the world if he lives
who, father" | asked.
why, that young Beecher."
Such was Henry Wa.i Beecher when
! first saw him; and, truth to tell, be
was not remarkable for his beauty.

A PUZZLIIR.
h GrammarQ Question Which FIoorcd
Many Frisco School Teachers.

There is waiting and crashing OF
teeth among the applicants for teachers
certificates who were examined yester-
day, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
OF the total of forty-siX who entered the
lists on Monday only eleven succeeded
in passing the examination. The re-
naming thirty-live encountered a STUN
bling block which was as unexpected AS
it was disastrous.
The stumbling block was the follow
ing puzzling question in grammar.
The ornaments which Ihundor-strike the
walls
OF rock built cities, bidding nations quake
And monarchs tremble in their capitols;
The oak-leviathans. whose huge ribs make
Their clay creator their vain title take
OF lord of thee and urbiter OF war.
These are tiny toys, and a. the snowy flake
They melt into the yeast of waves
Which mar alike the Armada's pride
And spoils OF Trafalgar.

Third-(1) What kind of a sentence is
this stanza? (2) Name the subordinate
clauses and what they modify. (3l l1x-

ure of speech in fourth line? (b) figure
of speech in sixth line? (6) Put this
stanza into a paragraph of plain prose,
as free us possible from rhetorical
figures and style.
The total Of credits in the examina-
tion in grammar was eighty, but the UNI
fortunate applicants who failed to cor
rectlv answe the question quoted lost
forty credits, thus rendering 1T impossi-
BILE to pass. That the question was a
Waterloo to most of the applicants ex-
amined is evidenced by the TACT that as
stated, that of forty-six only eleven sue
ceeded IN answering it correctly. The
percentage of failure on this account is
greater this year than ever before in
this city.
Director Woodward states that it is
his intention TO bring the matter to the
attention of the Board of Education,
with a view OF eliminating the question
propounded by the Board of Examiners
and giving the disappointed applicants
another chance. Nearly all of them
passed satisfactory examinations in the
other studies, but their failure in gram
mar barred them from receiving |certifi-
Gates until the mex examination. He
says the question was too deep for
second grade applicants, and they
should not have been required to an
