Last Summer German boy and girl.


Henry and Susie, living in Minnesota,
fell III love with one another. Her family,
at first Indifferent, early in Winter put
themselves in opposition to the match.


But this Romeo was no drawing-room
lover. Desperately in earnest himself


and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet.


he brayely went to work to mike home
Tor her. He already owned a quarter
section of land. Taking his ak, he went


to his ESTATE, and there cut down trees
and hewed out logs enough to make
cabin, which he put up without help,
and furnished in rude but comfortable
fashion. This done, lie asked Susie to
come and be his wife. She consented.


Unfortunately, the young man had not


yet set up his carriage; and, since it was


unbecoming for a bride 10 90 on foot, a


hand-sled, drawn by the bridegroom, was
pressed into the service of the pair. Thus
they went forth in secrecy to their new
home in the woodland, she riding trinity
ON the sled, he tugging bravely at the
strap. 1t was eight miles to the little
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding was to take place,

fortunately the clergyman was not there,
aud Susie was frightened and ashamed.
She wanted to 90 home; but Henry,
grleyed at her mistrust, and yet secretly
pleased with her modesty, proposed that
until clergyman could be found the
cabin should be divided, by a partition
wall, into two cabins, OF which one
should belong to her and one to him.
To this she agreed, and the young man
went eleven miles thrC ugh the snow after
the boards for the wall, dragging them
home on the sled which had Just carried
IA more lovely burden. When the parents
found their fraullen, it was under these
circumstances-she keeping house by
herself; he living like a bachelor, and
bearing himself in every way with
courtesy worthy of Henry
Esmond himself. The father and brother
were touched, Notwithstanding their grief
and anger, by the unconventional honor
and purity of the young people, and
wisely concluding that the match was
made in heaven, gave their heartiest as

early in the week was comnaratively easy, loans

said to be the result OF indsposion on The part OF
banks to extend usual facilities to brokers, not
wthstanding the large gains in legal tenders

ported. Doubtless further cause may be found in

Teachers should have kind but firm dsposi-
ton, and should not be in hurry to use the rod
or scold. They should in no case get angry or
lose patience. They should go into their respec-

be accompanied with it on the play ground, and
even when away from the school. They should
know all about the manner and form of reading,
be able to spell all words in common use, the
why's and wherefores Of arithmetical problems,
and their general information should be as extern
siye as possible, that their instructions may by
no means be confined to the text books, but
to general subjects of practical information ap-

tobacco in Gny form are not only filthy habits,
but are damaging both to our physical health and
mental reasoning, and by teachers should be
treated accordingly. The common practice of
having the pupils sweep and do general chores
around the school we de not countenance and
think should never De required unless the pupils
seem anxious for the task to be sure the school
house should be kept neat and orderly and the
books in the library arranged systematically, but
this we think Is the duty of the teacher They
(the teachers> should play with the children in
all their sports, and be on the watch respecting
the use of their language correcting promptly
all ungramatcal, profane or quarrelsome express
sions, and settle any little misunderstanding
that may arise They Should be polite to their
pupils and require them to be polite to each
other. The use of nicknames should not be al
lowed. If teachers have rules laid down and
they or any one of them should be broken, the
offender should in no wise be excused from the
prescribed punishment, bei slight or otherwise.
Visitors of respectable character should be en-
couraged to visit the school, not alone on Fri
day but to call in at any time. Teachers should
be neat in person ant. require their pupils to be
the same They should not give their pupils too
long lessons, lessons that they cannot in reality
commit; but You say, the lcw says we must get
so far in such time. To this we would say, let
the pupile commit the most useful part and make
reading lessons of the rest, by doing so you will
find better success attend your endeavors to teach
your pupils something useful 'PupiM should not
be allowed to speak silly pieces at their Friday
afternoon exercises, or az any other time Tat
ting should not be allowed, and to prevent it
some punishment should be attached to the Of
Tense. There are many other things that a teach
er should attend to daily presenting themselves,
which when offensive should be checked at the
moment.


The above mentioned duties may by some be
considered too tritling to demand attention, but
if teachers no,c-d-doys would give more time to
the lille things of life which make the true lady
and gentleman, we would have less use for pla-
ces for the punishment and correction of adults
and very likely wiser and better class of people
in the next generation. One other suggestion
and i am done: There should be at all times o
union of effort between teachers and guardians
for it has long been demonstrated that nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished Dy one unless
the instructions of the other harmonize III every
essential particular. Yours,

Jackson 4 Great Northern Railroad, after the

By and by there came to our city one of
those great railroad men of the North who was
master of the whole comprehensive science of
