The Coming 7ower
TYPICAL AMERICANS.
II. A School Teacher

II. A School Teacher
Old Hepzibah, we called her,
For she was penurious;
We imagined the original Pinchen
Must have been as wrinkled, pinched, and
fat.
For other things we scorncd her
with oil the scorn
That's parcel Of the wisdom
Blessing High School sccrs.
We whispered the various tales
OF how the school board yenrly threatened,
Offering her a pension If shc would quit;
But CHE remained
TO pinch more pennies, as we thought.
We talked about her utter lack Of knowl-
edge,
Her inability to point out light and shade
Of masterpieces we would daily pen;
The boldcst cf u.s. for applause,
Would covcrtly insult her:
Once in "Silas Mariner" asking
if she understood the joy a miser had
Then we strobe forth into the cXpectant
world,
Confident our brain would fetch a wage
Four times as great as Hepzibah's,
Leaving her to the cruel succession
Of wise and merciess youth
Old Hepzibah was dead.
We severally received the news
Wherever tides had cast us up
On mediocre sands.
And she had left will
Bequeathing all she'd saved
Some twenty thousand dollars
For the building of a public school,

english Hereditary Offices.

Conventional epithets have once
more been used in the English news
papers about the late Lord Londesbor-
ough's hereditary office as vice admi-
raj Of the Yorkshire coast. In reality
there are many similar appointments
in force elsewhere. The lord mayor
Of Bristol Is vice admiral of the chan
mel as far down as Holmes and pos
sesses an ancient silver oar, which he
is entitled to have borne before him
in virtue Of his office. BY a fiction Of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide we're considered to be-
long to the parish in which the Mer-
chant Venturers stand, and births at
sea were registered there. Before the
organization Of the royal navy had
been fully developed it was convent
ent to intrust the interests of the
crown In regard to the duties Of the
admiralty to local gentlemen, like the
Denisons Of Scarborough, from which
the earls of Lonsdale derive, of suffi-
cient standing to be immune from
sympathy with smuggling, which was
the chief difficulty in early times. For
handling maritime questions special
qualifications were necessary, which
the lord lieutenant, if he were seated
inland. might not possess.
