Mr.. Shirley was sitting In the big
arm chair in his own particular sane
tum, generally referred to as the
study" and letting his thoughts run
riot. First, they fitted here and there
over various phases of his new hobby,
and then, taking sadder tone, con-
jured up the vision of his only child,
whose dearest wish he had refused.
Why was she so self-willed? There
was Joshua, well provided with world
ly goods, Neutrality-suspicious. with
everyone, and above all, brother the
osophist; why could not the girl be
satisfied with her fathers choice
Then the truant thoughts pictured
Sydney Wallace as certainly the bet
ter looking of the two, nearer Doris
age, a man of energy and excellent
character; but-and there was the
rub-he had been SO openly and au,
daciously honest as to express his dis
belief in the manifestation of theoso.
ply, and so he had sealed his fate.
1t was now quite dark, and Mr.
Shirley rose from his seat, lighted the
gas, drew down the blind and locked
the door. 1t was his custom to spend
his evenings alone with mis- books, ane
reaching volume from its shelf, h
drew his chair to the table, and wa
soon absorbed in new mystifcations

An eminent chair leader, In talking OF
church music the other day, remarked that
II music were intslligcn,ly taught in our
public schools there would be less bungling
among singers and less valuable time
wasted when the more advanced LESSONS
became necessary There Is little use."
he continued, 'in any singer wasting his
or her time In expensive instruction while
there Is any flaw in the reading or rudi-
ments. A career based ON such lines is an
up hill undertaking from the start. Be-
fore tho ambitious singer attempts any
thing in tile musical line there should be
considerable proficiency In reading and
familiarity with Nil Of the preliminary
work, and this may DO learned of any
singing master III II reasonable time and
at II small cost"
All public schools should teach the ele-
ments Of music and that with thorough
ness. 1t should be as much a matter Of
course for the pupil to know his or her
notes and to be expert in scales and chords
us to know the letters of the alphabet and
how to spell ''baker." UGH knowledge
would in due course of time leud the pupil
who had great natural gifts FOR music to
the study most cupgcnial, and would sim
plify after study and make a future much
nearer than II it were necessary to wade
through all of the primary pnrts and worry
over intervals and nccidentals until the
heart and soul were weary and the courage
almost gone. New York Ledger.

JAcksoN's FIRST DUEL.
A Practical Joke Was tho Cause Of thu
Fight.


At this term. May. 1888, ANDREW Jack
con. Esq, came into court and produced q
license as an attorney, with a certificate
sufficiently attestsd Of his taking the oaths
necessary to said office. and was admitted

jackson had reached his majority two
month"; before this date. He had studied
Law at salisbury, N. C., under Spruce Nc
Cay, who had for several years visited the
courts at Joncsbnrough In the capacity Of
lawyer and judge and WAS well acquainted
with the country and people. 1t Is alto
gether probable that jackson came to the
western country under the advice of Nc
Cay. The iledgelinR, shortly after his ar
rival in Jonesborough, was retained in his
first suit, which proved to be the occasion
Of his first duel as well. His opponent was
the older and more learned Waighstiil
Avery. 1t seems that Colonel Avery had
the better side Of the cause, and that Jack
son. foresceing defeat. tried to break his
fall by II bit of pleasantly in the perpetrn-
ton Of II practical Joke on his opponent.
Avery, rs was the custom In those days of
circuit riding, carried II few books and his
briefs in Il pair Of snddlebngs jackson

Colonel Avery to win the case was Bacon's

In the course of his argument Avery had
occasion to appeal to his authority, he
took from his saddlehags the package and
nnfolled it before the court and jury. His
precedent did not apply Suspecting Jack
son OF being the guilty person, Avery
turned upon him and gave him 70 tongue
lnshing. jackson was much angered in
turn and wrote upon the lily leaf Of II law
book n demand for II retraction. This was
not forthcoming, and jackson sent ibis
challenge:
