MISS EXTER'S PUPIL -0 'Teaching is a thankless calling,' said a gentleman standing near me on the piazza of a popular sea side hotel, last summer. 'That is true,' replied his com panion, 'and so is the work of a superintending school committee. This dealing with ignorant and conceited parents who want to dictate what their children shall study, who often have some petty splte against the teacher or com mittee to gratify, and who will not stop to break up a school, could they carry out their misera blo schemes, is utterly disagree able. No, my friend, there is not money enough to tempt me to have anything to do with the management of the schools in our good town of Marshton;' and the two men descended the piazza teps and walked on toward the beach. A lady near me, with whom I had formed a pleasant little ac luantance, looked up and smiled. The conscientious teacher who oves her work,' she said, 'does not dways look for immediate fruition f all her works and hopes. She s now sowing good seeds, know ng not just when or how the har rest will succeed. 1 taught school nany yea.rs, and am far from call ng it a 'thankless calling.' I meet ny old scholars everywhere, and be thanks 1 have received from hem, orally and by letter, are he pleasantest spots in my life txprience.' Just then the owner and pro. rietor of the great hotel, Land ord Strong, passed by the bluff efore us, glanced up and smilod nd raised his hat. Although he vas a very shrewd business man, vith great executive capacity, he as at the same time large-heart d, gentlemanly and courteous to ~vry one, and a universal favorite. knew that this charming wo an, who had been known in er teaching-days as Miss D3xter, id the best room in the hotel, as waited upon with extra at ention, had the most stylish irses and carriages at her bid ing, and that the landlord never assed her without raising his hat nd bowing as if to a queen. The gentle little woman by my ide returned the bow and smiled, nd then turning to me again, aid: 'You are gathering facts ,1l the time ; let me tell you a tory for your note-book, to be ted at some future time-not ire, of course.' I thanked her, nd she went on: 'I began to teach when I was ifteen, with a great many enthusi stic ideas in my little head, in r ard to my high and noble calling, which I have kept with me till his present hour. After teaching , number of terms, I was employ ed ere in this town to teach the Tillage school in the very same itt!e building, around the corner rnder, now repaired and used for he primary scholars. I boarded t this hotel, a very small estab ishment then, but well kept by he Widow Rugg. 'The committee had hired me ~ntiey from my reputation as a cacher in an adjoining town, anid ~ven they came to see me face to 'ace, arid noticed my youthful ap earance, they evidently had some amnivns a to my ability to 'manage' the larger pupils of the school, whom they designated 'a hard sot.' 'Now there is Tom Strong,' said they, 'we may as m ell tell you at the start that you had better lot him alone; get along with him the best way you can. When you cannot stand it with him any longer, let us know and we will send him home. The boy cannot be taught anything. We have had conscientious, painstak ing teachers, who declared that it was impossible to teach him to count, spell, or write his own name even.' 'I found this lad to be tall and thin, blue and pinched, with hard ly life enough to do anything in school but make grotesque faces for the amusement of the children. I put an end to that at once by making a rule that any scholar who laughed at Tom Strong's 'faces' should sit with the dirty, ragged unkempt boy, and take les sons from him as a facial contor tionist, while the rest of the school looked on. 'It did seem as if the poor fellow could not be made to remember anything ; but I said to myself, 'Hic is not an idiot, and he shall be taught to read and spell easy words at first, and to write his name.' He had been blund.ering along in an advanced reader, with a class of live bright boys of his own age and size. Not wishing to humiliate the lad by putting him into the 'infant class' where be really belonged, I bad him read by himself from my pretty, red morocco-bound Bible, beginning with the Sermon on the Mount, and taking up the parables in good time. 'I set him easy copies in writ ing. His indolent and rebellious conduct over this part of my labor with him attracted the attention of one of the older girls, who said to mc one day at recess, 'I don't suppose Tom Strong has strength enough to learn to write or to ap ply himself to any thng. .His, folks are very poor and shiftless, and they never have any meat to eat, nor any good, nutritious food. Tie never brings any din ner or lunch to oat at noon. and never runs and plays with the oys. He is not strong enough, eacher.' 'That gave me the clew to the ecret of the strange, wisttul, hun ry look in the poor boy's eyes. I ay awake and thought about it all hat night, and in the morning re olved to act. After breakfast I went down to the kitchen and ade Mrs. Rugg give me two or three generous slices of roast beef and broad, some doughnuts and heese, wrapped up in paper. 'Going early to the school-house, 1 found Tom, there, as usual, the irst scholar to be on hand always, lthough he lived the furthest off. alling him to mec and giving him he lunch, I said, 'If you will try o do as well as you can this term, nd he a good, studious boy, I will ring you a nice lunch every day,' Ho looked at me wonderingly, at he same time involuntarily reach ng out his long, skinny hands for he coveted package. 'I be awful hungry; school arm, he said,' 'and seein' there aint rrone er the childrans roun' or larf at me, I'll take it sure nough, an' eat it now. I haint ever had sich or great hunk er eat or cheese afore in mer life,'and e straightway fell to devouring he food like a starved dog. After it had all disappeared, even to the ast crumb, he gave a little grunt f satisfaction, and looked up at e as if his appetite had only been harpened and that a further in tallment of food would not come miss. 'That night I made a bargain vith Mrs.. iLugg. Tom Strong as to come to her kitchen every oon for a hearty, wholesome, hot eat dinner, and I was to ay for it. I was in straitened ircumstances myself, besides Iwas trying to pay my way trough Vasar, but I deeply ommiserated the l'ad, and then I was curious to see whab good food, and enough of it, n ould do for his ental elevation. 'The boy begins to show his keeing, said Mrs Rnug to me at FOR THE HERALD. New York Fashions. Costumes-Belts and Parasols-ew Fall Dress Goods. BUNTING COSTUMES. Genteel poverty finds nothing so convenient just now as bunting. Rich people wear it freely, and just for that reason the tired school mistress, or the clergyman's wife may freshen up in a bunting costume without the feeling that they are assuming a badge of any kind. The pastor's young daughter too in her toilette of bunting may try her small coquettish airs unfettered by the thought that Mrs. Grump over the way is calling her ex travagant, or that Miss Muggins is whispering awful things to Deacon Sparse. Then too, bunting unites so well with the varied silks and ribbons of the day; can be made grave or gay just as one wishes, and is suited to morning or evening ; rainy weather or sun shine. And, as has been said, it is worn by rich as well as poor. Mrs. Marshall 0. Roberts appeared the other morning at Saratoga in a cos tume of white bunting combined with yellow and black striped satin. The same evening Mrs. Edwin Booth wore a pale ecru bunting adorned with black velvet bows, and Marie Litta as in the recesses of her rooms at Congress Hall she ran scales to her Weber piano preparatory to her evening concert, wore a charming morning toilette of white bunting trimmed with blue satin bows. The Weber indeed seems a favorite instument at Saratoga, for I have observed it in leading hotel par lors, and is selected for concerts given by prominent musicians. BELTS. Fancy a delicate young lady strap ping around her waist a circingle of coarse canvass, red, white, blue, or yellow, fastened with yellow leather thongs and you have what is regarded as "sweet" at the present time. The wider the more stylish. An epidemic of belts has certainly broken out and is spreading. Exclusive houses are making up more refined specimens in silk of varions colors which are fast ened by expensive straps of alligator skin is one of our rages and permeates the entire world of satchels, pocket books, belts, bags and the like ; noth ing being thought as lovely as the crimpled yellowish, mottled surfaces. The real is quite expensive, but imi tations run riot and are cheap. What is left of the female mind after belts are exhausted runs to parasols, and bills are brought in not as formerly for one, two, or three parasols, but for a wine colored one to match a wine colored costume; blue and ecru to match a blue and ccru toilette, and so on indefinitely. COSTUMES. But going bz.ck to belts what do they signify ? They mean the final departure of the princess costume and the establishment of the panier style of dress. Bunched on the hips and bouffant in the back. For do you not see that a belt does not harmonize well with an expanse of close fitting corset like whalebone extending be low ?. Something bunchy and bouffant is much more to the purpose. So here is a reason not only for belts, but for sashes which this summer have suddenly come to life again. Another evidence of the approaching reign of bn.hiness (I cant find any other word) is the display of bustles which dismal to tell are en the increase. I hate to write this, for of all odious things they are most so, yet what are fashion writers put in the world for if not to tell the truth, then again there are prophecies of small hoops to keep out tho untrimmed skirts, but we wont indulge in horrid anticipations. Be fore leaving the subject of costumes I will mention a pretty blue camel's hair and satin costume worn by a young beauty of fourteen at Saratoga made Lucille Skirt and Floy basque. This would be suitable for a miss of sixteen or a girl of ten or twelve. FALL DRESS GOODS. Of course it will be quite a while before thet'e are shown but I have had admittance to a sanctum where only a fw of the chosen are allowed to enter, and so I can prophesy. Striking nov elties appear. What is called "silk shot" effects are very noticeable. Here the goods which often are wrought in mall armnure squares diagonals, or the end of the week ; 'but dear me! hasn't he an appetite! It takes a heap of victuals to fill him up!' 'Indeed, the metamorphosis, both physical and mental, that had taken place in the boy by the time the school-year had closed was something wonderful. Al though he refused to take his din ners at the hotel after the first term at my expense, he continued taking them there during the year, paying for them by doing errands, pumping water, etc. He grew plump and sleek, learned to read, spell and write, and after a short time had little or no difficulty with the four fundamental pro cesses of arithmetic. All his old time nervousness, irritability and frequent fits of apathy were gone. He readily fell into studious ways and soon mastered whatever he undertook. His dogged persis tence was remarkable. His de portment was also exemplary; he never gave me the least trouble, and tried to serve me every way in his power. 'In due time I entered Vassar, and graduated. Subsequently I taught here and there a year or two and then married my bus band, whom you have met here. Having heard nothing whatever of Tom Strong, or from this vil lage for years, pne day, just after I had begun housekeeping, I was surprised to got a letter with the familiar name-of Marshton upon it as the postmark ; here it is, for 1 brought it down with me this morning, having determined to confide to you this, one of the pleasantest episodes of my life, some time during the day, were you at leisure and willing to grant me the opportunity.' I took the letter in my hand. Its chirography was plain but handsome, and it read: MARSHTON, April 18, 18-. Mrs. Rev. Dr. Andrew Knowlton: DEAR MADAM-I saw your mar riage in the newspapers the other day, and that was the first and only intelligence I have had of you since you taught school in this village. Are you really dear Miss Dexter, and do you remem ber poor stupid, Tom Strong ? Well, I am he. In short, I want to thank you for making a man of me. Thbe first realization I ever had that I was a human being1 ike the other boys of your school, wvith capabilities for self-improve ment and future usefulness, came through your labors in my be"alf in the school room, and your haritable piovision for my bodi y wants at good Mrs. Rugg's bountiful table. When you found me .1 was nearly starved, body and soul. I well remember just how those dinners, meal by meal, built me up, mentally as well as physically. Those reading les sons in the New Testament, too, built me* up in a spiritual way. In every sense of the word I was born again' that memorab5le year nder, your kind care. I kept on taying at the hotel, doing chores for board and schooling. I crept up and up, until Mrs. iRugg died, when I became proprietor of the otel myself. Our pleasant village ere by the sea has grown to be uite a famous summer resort. To keep pace with the public de ands, I have greatly enlarged the hotel, and have added many odern improvements. And now I beg leave to invite you and your istinguished husband to come and ake me a visit whenever it shall e most convenient to you. yours, most gratefully, THOMAs HL STRONG. I handed back the letter to the weet little woman, the eyes of oth of us suffused with tears, while she said: 'Thbe July follow ng the receipt of this letter, when y husband's annual vacation be an, we accepted the invitation, nd have been here every year ince. We have our old rooms new y furnished this season, and we are roud to count as one of our best friends our genial Landlord Strong, who is a friend to the whole world, nd who will take off his hat when he meets me, because, he ays: 'I made a man of him.'

LUCY CARTER. e AN GLD-TIME DUEL.-Among the many bloody duels on record as having been fought by Con- t gressmen was one of which James Jackson' of Georgia, who had been b and who was afterward a United States Senator, was the challenged party. He was 'an Englishman,' g like the hero of 'Pinafore,' by birth, but he went to Savannah when a lad, studied law, was a leading Freemason, and fought h gallantly in the revolutionary war. He killed Lienteiant Governor t Wells in 1780 in a duel, and was engaged in several other 'affairs of honor,' until he finally determined to accept a ehallenge on such terms as would make it his last " duel. So he prescribed as the terms that een party armed with P a double-barreled gun, loaded with buckshot, and with a hunting C knife, should row himself in a e skiff to designated points on op- e posite sides of the Savannah river. b When the city clock struck twelve each party should start and row b his skiff to a small island in the 0 middle of the river, which was wooded and covered with under- d brusb. On arriving at the island each party was to moor his skiff, stand by it for ten minutes. and U then go about on the island until the meeting took place. The seconds waited on the mainland i~ until about one o'clock, when they ii heard three gunshots and loud n and angry cries. Then all was t still. At daylight, as had been n ag-reed upon, the seconds went to I the island and found Jackson lying i: on the ground insensible from the '] loss of blood, and his antagonist o lying across him, dead. Jackson ii recoveiod, but would never relate v his experience on that night, nor 2j was he ever challenged again. He t: died in Washington, serving his p second term as United States u Senator, March 19, 1806. - f A STORY TELLER VANQUISHED. a -'When I was a young man,' t said Col.
