MISS DEXTER'S PUPIL.

"Teaching is a thankless calling,"said a gentleman standing near trieon the piazza of a popular sea-sid- ehotel, last summer.

"That is true," replied his compan-ion, "and so is the work of a super-intending school committee. Thisdealing with ignorant and conceitedparents who want to dictate whattheir children shall study, who oftenhave some petty spite against theteacher or committee to gratify, andwho would not stop to break up aschool, could they carry out theirmiserable schemes, is utterly disa-greeable. No, my friend, there isnot money enough to tempt me tohave anything to do with the man-agement of the schools in our goodTown of Marshton;" and the twomen descended the piazza-step- s andwalked on toward the beach.

A lady near me, with whom I hadformed a pleasant little acquaintancelooked up and smiled. "The con-scientious teacher who loves herwork," she said, "does not alwayslook for immediate fruition ofali herworks and hopes. She is sowinggood seeds, knowing not just whenor how the harvest will fuccecd. Itaught school many years, and amfar from calling it a 'thankless call-in- s.'

I meet my old scholars every-where, and the thanks I have receiv-ed from them, orally and by letter,are the plcasantest spots in my e."

Just then the owner and proprie-tor of the great hotel, LandlordStrong, passed by the bluff beforeus, glanced up and smiled and raisedhis hat. Although he was a veryshrewd business man, with greatexecutive capacity, ho was at thesame time large-hearte- d, gentleman-ly, and courteous to every one, anda universal favorite. I knew thatthis charming woman, who had beenknown in her teachinjr-day- s a MissDexter, had the best room in thehotel, was waited upon with extraattention, had the most stylishhorses and carriages at her bidding,and that the landlord had neverpassed her without raising his hatand bowing as if to a Qucon.

The gentle little woman bv myside returned the bow and smiled,and then turning to me again, said :"You are iratherinj facts all the timelet me tell you a story for note-boo- k,to be tf-c- at some future time nothere, of course." I thanked her, andshe went on :

"I began to teach when I was fif-teen, with a great many enthusiasticideas in my little head, in regard tomy high and noble calling, which Ihave kept with me till this presenthour. After teaching a number ofterms, I was employed here in thistown to teach the village school inthat very same little building, 'roundthe corner yonder, now repaired andused for the primary scholars. Iboarded at this hotel, a very 6mallestablishment then, but well kept bythe Widow Rugg.

"The committee had hired me en-tirely from my reputation as a teach-er in an adjoining town, and whenthey came to see me face-to-fac- e, andnoticed my youthful appearance,they evidently had some misgivingsas to my ability to 'manage' thelarger pupils of the school whomthey designated 'a hard set.' 'Nowthere is Tom Strong,' said lliey, 'wemay as well tell you the start thatyou had better let him alone; etalong with him the best way you can.When you cannot stand it with himany longer, let us know and we willsend him home. The boy cannot betaught anythinsr. We have had con-scientious, painstaking teachers.whodeclared that it impossible toteach him to count, spell, or writehis own name, even.'

"I found this lad to be tall andthin, blue and pinched, with hardlylife enough to do anything in schoolbut make grotesque faces for theamusement of the children. I putan end to that at once by making arule that any scholar who laughedat Tom Strong's 'faces' should sitwith the dirty, ragged.unkempt boy,and take lessons from him as a facialcontortionist, while the rest of theschool looked on.

"It did seem as if the poor fellowcould not be made to remember any-thing; but I said to myself, 'He isnot an idiot, and he shall be taughtto read and spell short and easywords at first, and to write his name.'He had been blundering along in anadvanced reader, with a class of livebright boys of his own age and size.Not wishing to humiliate the lad byputting him into the 'infant' class,where he really belonged, I had himread by himself from my pretty, redmorocco bound Bible, beginningwith the Sermon on the Mount, andtaking up the parables in good time.

"I set him easy copies iu writing.His indolent and rebellious conductover this part of my labor with himattracted the attention of one of the

older girls, who said to me one dayat recess, "I don't suppose TomStrong has strength enoug'i to learnto write or to apply himself to any-thing. II is folks are very poor andshiftless, and they never have anymeat to eat. nor any good, nutritiousfood. lie never brings any dinneror lunch to eat at noon, and neverruns and plays with the boys. Heis not strong enough, teacher.'

"That gave me the clew to thesecret of the strange, wistful, hungrylook in the poor boy's eyes. I layawake and thought about it all thatnight, and in the morning resolvedtoact. After breakfast I went downto the kitchen and made Mrs. Kujrirgive me two or three generous slicesof roast beef and bread, some dough-nuts and cheese, wrapped up iupaper.

"Going early to the school-hous- e,I found Tom there, as usual, the firstscholar to be on hand always altho'he lived the farthest off. Calliturhim to me and giving him the lunch,I said, If you will try to do as wellas you can this term, and be a good,studious boy, I will bring you a nicelunch every day.' He looked at mewondering!', at the same time in-voluntarily reaching out his long,skinuy hands for the coveted pack-age.

" 'I be awful hungry, schoolmarm,'lie said, and seein' there haint notrcer the child runs roun' ter larf at me,I'll take it sure enough, an' cat itnow. I haint never had sirh ergreat hunk er meat er cheese aforein mcr life,' and he straightway fellto devouring the food like a starveddog. Alter it had all disappearedeven to the last crumb, he gave alittle grunt of satisfaction, and look-ed up at mc as if his appetite hadonly been sharpened, and that afurther installment of food wouldnot come amiss.

"That night I made a bargain withairs, itugg. lorn btrong was tocome to her kitchen every noon lora hearty, wholesome, hot meat-dinne- r,

and I was to pay it. I wasin straightened circumstances my-self, besides I wan trying to pay myway through Vassar, hut I deeplycommiserated the lad, and then Iwas curious to see what good food,and enough of it, would do for hismental elevation.

"The boy begins to show hiskeeping,' said Mrs. Rugg to me, atthe end of the week ; 'but dear me!hasn't he an appetite! It takes aheap of victuals to fill him up!'

"Indeed, the metamorphosis, bothphysical and mental, that had takenplace in the boy by the timo theschool year had closed was some-thing wonderful. Although he refused to take his dinners at the hotelafter the first, term at my expense, hecontinued taking them there duringthe year, paying for them by doingerrands, pumping water, etc. Hegrew plump and sleek, learned toread, spell and write, and after ashort time had little or no difficultywith the four fundamental processesof arithmetic. All his old timenervousness, irritability and fre-quent fits of apathy were gone. Heicadily fell Into studious ways audsoon mastered whatever he under-took. His dogged persistence wasremarkable. His deportment wasalso exemplary ; he never gave methe least trouble, and tried to servemc every way in his power.

"In due time I entered Vassar, andgraduated. Subsequently I taughthere and there a year or two, andthen married my husband, whomyou have met here. Having heardnothing whatever of Tom Strong orfrom this village for years, one dav,just after I had begun housekeeping,I was surprised to get a letter withthe familiar name of Marshton uponit as the post-mar- k; here if is, for Ibrought it down with me this morn-ing, having determined to confide toyou this, one of the pleasantest epi-sodes of my life, some time duringthe day, were you at leisure andwillingto grant mc theopportunity."

I took the letter in my hand. Itschirography was plain but hand-some, and it read

MAnsnTOX, April 18, 18.Mrs. Rev. Dr. Andrew Knowiton:

Bear Madam: I saw your marriage inthe newspapers the other day, and thatU the firxt and only intelligence I havehad of you since you taught school inthis village. Are "you really dear MissDexter, and do vou remember poorstupid Tom Strong? "Well, I am he. Inshort, I want to thank you for making aman of me. The first realization 1had that I was a human beini: like theother hoys of your school, with capabil-ities for and futureusefulness, came through your labors inmy behalf in the schoolroom, and yourcharitable provision for my bodily wantsat good Mrs. RuggS bountiful table."When you found mc I was nearly starv-ed- ,

body and goul. I well rememberjust how those dinners, meal by meal,built me up. mentally as well as physi-cally. Thos-- e reading lessons in the NewTestament, too, built me up in a spirit-ual way. In ever' sense of the word Iwas "born asrain"that memorable yearunder your kind care. I kept on stay-ing at the hotelj doing chores for myboard and schooling. I crept on. up andup, until Mrs. Rugg died, when I be-came proprietor of the hotel myself.Our pleasant village here by the sea hasgrown to be quite a famous summer re-sort. To keep pace with the public de

mands I have greatly enlarged the hoteland have added many modern improve-ments. And now I "beg leave to inviteyou and your distinguished husband tocome and make me a visit whenever itshall be most convenient to you.

Yours, most gratefully.Thomas II. Stkoxg.

I handed back the letter to thesweet little woman, tho eyes of bothof us suflused with tears, while shesaid, "The July following the receiptof this letter, when my husband'sannual vacation began, we acceptedthe invitation, and have been hereevery year since. We have our oldrooms newly furnished this season,and we are proud to count n one ofour best friends our genial Land-lord Strong, who is a friend to thewhole world, and who will take offhis hat whenever he meets mc, be-cause, he says, I made a man ofhim.'"

.Tlutual Useful now In the Fa m- -iiy.

The principle in ed-ucation is nowhere 3cen to betteradvantage than in the family. Thegirl is strengthened and vivified bythe bat and ball, the oars, the bowand arrow, or tiie skate, as much asis the boy, and she needs, and herfamily need, the sparkling vivacitywhich only out-do- or amusementscan give; but the girl who has twobeds to make has not so much timefor reaction as the boy, who uses,but who makes none. The care ofthe room for each would be a hap-pier adjustment. At a school whichI lately visited, the boys, under thecare of a matron, were taught tomake their beds and keep theirrooms in order. They showed noincapacity for the work. Their cleanbeds with white covers were wellmade though done by their sis-ters. Neither boots, stockings, jack-ets, shirts nor collars were on thefloor for somebody else to pick up.What has been done by a matronwith a large number of boys, couldbe done by any mother with herson, not only with positive advan-tage to them, but with justice totheir sisters. Not long since I meta judicious mother who had resolv-ed to abate the nuisance of careless,wasteful and expensive servants,and instead, to i.sk of each memberof her household, sons and daugh-ters alike, a sufficient contributionto the day's work to complete allwhich the daily necessities of thefamily demanded. She had triedthe plan for several months andfound It to work admirably. Herown cares had lessened in propor-tion to the increase of family enjoy-ment. The household aid given bymen will, of course, find its comple-ment iu the field, the workshop, orthe office. In families trained tomutual helpfulness, the girls willplant corn, rake hay, or transact im-portant business as faithfully aswould their father or brothers.

oman.Here is a bouquet of compliments ;

"There are but two fine things in theworld," says Malherbe, "women androses." Lessiug exclaims, "Womanis the master piece of tho universe."Bourdon says, "The pearl is theimage of purity, but woman is pur-er than the pearl." Thackeraywrites, "A good woman is the love-liest flower that blooms under heav-en." Balzac says, "Even the errorsof woman spring from her faith inthe good." Voltaire declares, "AMthe reasoning of men is not worthone sentiment of woman." Lamar-tin- e

asserts that "Women have moreheart and imagination than men."Otway exclaims, "O, woman I love-ly woman! nature made thee totemper man we had been bruteswithout thee."

London Truth, speaking of offi-cious friends, says: "Friendshipwitli them means a lien, not a loan ;possession, not exchange; and theywill not amend their record. Withsuch friends as these, at those mo-ments when you take stock, as itwere, of your life, you are forced toask yourself, what do you get out ofit all ? You are snubbed, ty ran zedover, rebuked and set down ; youare always in disgrace, and you maynot call your soul your own; yourlife is regulated for you. not accord-ing to your own desires nor evenfor your own best needs, but ac-cording to the fancies of those whodo not understand what they areabout. Your time is taken up, yourpursuits are interfered with, yoursympathies restrained, your affec-tions chilled and all for what?"

Then and Wow."When the town of Columbus was

laid out twenty-tw- o years ago, therewere planted on the extreme easternbounds thereof a row of ten-ac- relots. One of these the veteran Kum-mer commenced to adorn at an earlydate with various kinds of nativeand foreign shade trees, and laterwith fruit trees. Now there is aluxuriant forest and orchard com-bined, aud one of the most charmingretreats of the state.

But what most interested us andcaused us to marvel at the extraor-dinary productiveness of our soilwas the homestead of Judge HigginsNine years ago, according to ourrecollection, this ten-acr- e plat wasbare of all but grass, and the remainsof an old brick yard. About thattime Judge Higgins purchased it.built himself a small house, aud thinnearly exhausted his slender wealth.From the first he set out, he hadtime and means, such shade trees ashe could obtain, adding yearly to thenative cottonwood and box-elde- r,ash, walnut aud other eastern trees,together with various evergreens.Now in that space of time whichseems so short to us, there has grownup on that once b re common, wherethe herd boy and his cows had in-disputable range, a fine forest ofnative trees with Rocky Mountainpines, Norway spruces, Balsam FirArbor Vita, Austrian and AmericanPines, Hemlocks and Cedars grow-ing between all iu splendid health,carefully pruned, with tiie cuts nicely waxed over to guard against in-sects and all evil influences. He hasalso various kinds of fruit trees andseveral varieties of standard applesgrafted on Russian stock all soundand growing. Out of $C0 worth ofstock purchased some time ago, andthus grafted, he had lost not a tice.

We write at length concerning thisone spot of ground, because we sawthere proofs of how our prairie soilcan nourish with hut little care ailthe forest and fruit trees indigenousto our latitude. As the feverishfretful years ofour hurried westernlife gallop by, what marvelous, ofttimes pleasing changes the Nebras-ka- u

sees iu old haunts when after anabsence of five or ten years he re-turns to them. Nine vears ago alittle house stood desolate on a bare,monotonous plain; now it is veilediu a pretty web of trees nud shrubsand flowers.

Good Iluolne .Tien.Rare almost as great poets rarer,

perhaps, than veritable saints andmartyrs arc consummate men ofbusiness. A man to be excellent inthis way must not only be variouslygifted, but his gifts should be nicelyproportioned to one another. Hemust have in high degree that vir-tue which men have always foundthe least pleasant of virtues pru-dence. His prudence, however, willnot be merely of a cautious andquiescent order, but that which,being ever actively engaged, is morefitly called discretion than prudence.Such a man must have an almost ig-nominious love of details, blended(and this h a rare combination)with a high power of imagination,enabling him to look along extend-ed lines of possible action, and putthese details iu their right place. Herequires a great knowledge of char-acter, with that exquiiite tact whichfeels unerringly the right momentwhen to act. A discreet rapiditymust pervade all the movements ofhis thoight and action. He mustbe singularly free from vanity, andhe is generally found to be an en-thusiast who ha." art to conceal hisenthusiasm. Mercantile Journal.

Says the Ponca Journal'. "As aninstance whether farming pays inNebraska, we cite the prosperity ofGeorge Kohls, who lives in Cedarcounty. Eighteen years ago he set-tled on a homestead of ICO acres inthat county, at which time he wasworth $100. He now has 1,400 acresof fine land, a splendid house, barnsand outbuildings, 100 head of cattle,110 sheep, 17 horses and 100 hogs.He markets every 6cason a largeamount of farm produce, his sales ofcattle alone last season amounted to?4,000. Let anyone, but for a mo-ment, look at these figures, and thenask himself, "Docs farming iu Ne-braska pay?"'

Imagine the misery of a personwho always conceals his real selfunder a mask never taking it offevon in mo3t far.-alia-r momenta.
