a great oath before Heaven that, for
her sake. would hate and renounee
her sex; that, whatever might be the
temptation. never again would l look
kindly upon one of them, or have to do

1t may be asked what became of my
wife. l do not know. L lifted no hand
against her who was flesh of my flesh,

For many years-twenty perhaps-I

middlc-aged man, that made the 40
quaintance of James Strickland, who
was destined to accompany me to the
city, Heart of the World.

Consideration for others is not
always rewarded in this world,
howsoever it may be in the next.
The Nashua IN. H. School Board
wished to get rid of a teacher for
what was, to it, Incompetence, but
in order not to interfere with the
teachers prospects elsewhere the
board committee agreed to ele,t
her, provided she would resign at
once. She was elected, did resign,
but before acceptance by the board
she withdrew her resignation, and
substituted a request to be relieved
of certain work, which the board
refused to grant, and thereby
rather esSopped itself from de-
handing her resignation. This
young woman may not be very
good teacher, but she is a capital
politician.

An exchange says: "The devil
once bargained for the soul of a
young man. The devil agreed to
furnish ahisR all this money, the
young man could spend, and if he
did not spend it as it came in, his
soul was the forfeit. For several
years the young man managed to
keep ahead of the game by wine
and fast horses, but finally the
fiend sent him a tremendous sum,
which it seemed impossible to get
rid of, when, as last resort, the
young man started a newspaper.
At the end of three months the
devil began to growl, at the end Of
nine months he was furious, at the
end Of a year he was broke, That
paper went up, but the soul was
saved"

for the benefit of those who would
