JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

For ways that are DARK, and for
tricks that are not always in vain. the
Jermyn school board is peculiar. 1t
will be remembered that at the or
ganization of the board last month
some very nice sleight-of hand work
was said to have been done. Now here
comes something else. What it is, aad
what it means remains to be seen. 1t
was said on good authority shortly be-
fore the board met to elect teachers
that two designations were, or would
be in the hands of the secretary, ald,
of course there would be two va,an-
cies in the corps of teachers, but when
the meeting was held only one reslg-
nation appeared, and all the old corps
of teachers who applied We're elected.
Now ii comes out that one of the
teachers who were elected has, after
rejecting over the matter concluded
not to teach, and will have a letter
of resignation in at the meeting next
Tuesday night. 1t looks very much,
when all things connected with this
matter are put together, as though
there might be a large sized African
or a Spaniard in the fence somewhere.
We have teachers, graduates Of Nor
NAL schools, whose parents pay taxes

MY FIRST SWEETHEART.

She was the fairest, bonniest lass
That mortal ever knew;
The roses blush was on her cheeks,
Her eyes had caught the blue
OF June-time skies; around her head
Bright, golden rnglets smiled on me
felt my heart entranced.
I found her sitting meath the trees
One glorious day in May
The breezes with her dancing curls
Were merrily at play;
/ looked at her with steadfast gaze,
She turned her eyes on me,
They brimmed with love, our warm lips
met
In kisses one, two three.
That day was years and years ago,
But | can ne'er forget
My first sweethearts bewirchins eyes,
And. oh, l love her yet
AS fervently as in those days
When first on me she smiled;
And she loves me- I know II, for
] am her only child.

Home Journal.
