Lord ROSebery

Lord Rosebery has become hermit
He spends practically all his time at one
of his country houses and rarely comes
up to London except on Sunday, when
the great town is comparatively quiet.
He breads the roar and hustle of the
city, and for months does not see any of
his former political associates, q move
which many wise people think shows his
discriminating character. Rosebery re-
tains his intelligence, however, as the
speeches which he sometimes makes

SPINNING WHEEL.
A TEACHERS DREAM.

Twas Saturday night, and teacher sat
Alone, her task pursuing;
She averaged this and she averaged that
OF all her class were doing;
she reckOned percentage, so many boys,
And so many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy and absentees,
AND TO what all the absent amounted
Names of residence wrote in full,
over many columns and pages;
Yankee, Teut0nic. African, Celt.
And averaged all their ages;
The date Of admission of every one,
And cases OF hagellatlon,
And prepared list OF the graduates
For the coming examination.
Her weary head sank low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower,
For some of her pupils had little BRAIN,
And she could not furnish more.
She slept, she dreamed; 1t seemed she died,
And her spirit went TO Hades,
And they met her there with question
fair
State what the per cent. of young grade
is
Ages had slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces,
And the teachers spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places,
mound of foSSilized school reports
Attracted her observation,
AS high the statehoase dome, and as
wide
AS Boston and annexation.
She came to the spot where they buried
her bones
And the ground was well built over,
But laborers digging threw out skull
once planted beneath the clover
A disciple Of Galen wandering by,
Paused to look at the diggers,
And piucking the skull up, loked thro' the
eye,
And saw it was lined with figures.
