He ititroduofid,hims?lf las 1 Mr. Brown, and at once, proceed^ witWJripr business. He wished to employ a-teaolfer- j for one of the schools in his tbwn. He. ran ' his eyes over my frame, aud I saw .the,. Te?- 1 suit was satisfactojy, for he immediately cx- H pressed a desire to secure my services. I asked him what sort of a school it was. 'Wal,' he said, with a peculiar nasal twane and pronunciation not set down by J any of our lexicographers, 'it's a pooty hard school, naow I tell ye. But you've got the J bone an' muscle, an' I reckon as baow yeou i might dew it.' . . j, ? He again run his eyes over my large sin- ' ewy frame, and rubbed his hands with evident satisfaction. 'Have the scholars been in the habit of j gaining control of the school ?' T asked. 'Lord bless je, yes. Why," no mastercan i stand it a week. Ye .see^ IBquaro, thar's some all fired stout boys in that ere school? ye see they work in swamps, an' they're kind o' rough' iff their ways: We he^rg tell o' yeou. an* I was sent to see ye. * was privileged to offer ye forty dollars a mouthy ef ye'd only com? and keep it. That's more'n twice as much as we ever paid oft>re.' 'How large is the school ?' I asked. <Wal?thar's nigh unto sixty scholar'all told, when they come?some boys an' gome gak' - . . , , I had heard of the school before, aod had been acquainted with an excellent teacher ! * * * 1 *l ? ertkftAl Vtrman ! who had Deen tnrowu uui ui tu? , and rolled in a snow-bank by the larger boys; yet I resolved to go and-try it. Of person-! al danger I had no fear, fori happened to ; possess a large frame and a proportional a-' monnt of nerve and muscle. I had exercised freely in our gymnasium, and there was , not another man in the place who could at | all hold his strength by the side of mine.? j Nature had been lavish in her favors, aDd evil habits had not impaired the faculties God had given me. I told Mr. Brown I would keep the school. It was to commence on the first day of De- i cember, and continue tbree months. But I' told him I mast have my own way. That in t alt Tilling appertaining to jEjie be master^-that my will. tfiuU^e^^Tote,' even ta 1 b? casting out oi* .half the scholars, fie aafd I should hare my own way; and he pledged h'is .word that the Committee should not joterfere in pj wiy, nQr.nndcJ eutnstanoes. - ~ ^ * rfre"ippofnted time I packed op wy< ?jL and", started G- .

On the following morning Mr." Brown took mev<ovor'in bis slejgb. T found my school house tlpon the edge 'Of <jUite. a-settledieuf, which was locatedvin wide valley, with high black mountains upon till sides. . I was tnjrcu at once to tbi^ phtee wbere I was to board, and .in this Iat-* ter respect I was-fortuoate.: *.*.> si My host's name was "Elins Bonoey; He' - ?n i_ J? oKrtnt ^nrto.firA vsars w88 & wcihwuu jaiujsi w ~~ v of age, a firm, intelliger t man. and one g the selectmen of'the .town. He had-five1 children^ fhat were to attend school?ifbe oldest being a girl of nineteen, named Ljdia, and the youngest u boy of seven. Mr. Brown remained to' dinner, and.tlfcu' tookJbia kave; and as soon, as I was uIogs with Mr. Booney, I -began to enquire par-; ticularly about the school. My host_ shook his "head with a dubious expression". - -j?au h?ow what boys are,' he>said, espe-. cially if they've had their own way,-fori aj long; time. For. aix-winters we've had do school here that" could be oalled a sohoQfc-* Ther< are quite/a number of stout"boj^r,^ . they generally contrive to get the master cut at' the end of a week.

Bonney said he should think 'twould be dangcrbus For The scholars to make-the -attempt. *But,' he added,;wjth anotherdo-( bione shake of the head,'the boys are not only stout and hearty,- bat ydU must remember there's a number of them. Once.gpf 'em. started, and they doa't fear.any thing ? They've had some pretty stout toasters to= deal with.'\ ~ ' ^ * ? v t i ,. # ,-i ,y % , 'But how many are there in the school,' r Aoto/i imiin ?r<*-rAjitlv bad. who are ready. *- *7"v to goahead in any evil prank6?' r ; 1 Boaney pondered a few moments and then. replied? - ? . * ? fWhv, there's only two of them* that are really ugly; atui ewen they ain't bod.neighbors. They're hind arid ready in cases of need, but they scorn determined to resist the schoolmaster.' We kept up the conversation at intervals until bed time, and when I retired for the night I had about made up my mind as to the nature of the work I had to do-, I hed learned enough to assure me of several ito% port&nt ,facts. In the first place, each succeeding. teacher had gone into the soboolhou.se with the firm, belief that he had got to. fight his way through. The very feeling had served to excite his eoinbativenese, so that his first position to the .scholars \^as an antagonistic one. The result had been inevi table. At fighting the large scholars were 1 handy; they had prepared*for it and expec- . ted it, and consequently were easily led to an exhibition of their pugnacious qualities; On the next morning I went to the.sohool- bouse a little earlier than the usual hour for ' commencing. ' I found the bail3ipjj irearly. Dew and looking clean and neat. ,i? liked , that. I went in and arranged my books on the desk. ]$r. Booney bad giv|n me the key-to his desk,' at the-same time informing me that he believed there were some implements there I might need. I found a heavy rook-maple ferule, some two feet long Jay. two inches wide, and three-quarters of an inch thirfc^"* It was a-perfect olub, and was, moreover enough to excite the ire of any-decent person who.ncught.see it flourished'about in the baud?of a superior. It was not alone..-r.lt \ had a companion in the shape of a long, stog,t, heavy ''raw-hide,'as the'y are sometimes called. I let tbem remain in the. desk: v ~ * ** < > -/ v. . ., - v r _ At niue o'clock I rang the hand-bell witn which my host "had supplied me, and the scholars all took their seats. The school was full, and as I gazed carefully around, I was pleased with the appearance of most of the scholars. They were 8 comely, iotelKgeot set, for such, place. ""But among the krrgnr boys were some faceg which 1^ wished to study. ? , > ' , John Putney and Stephen Oliver had been so thoroughly described to me that I recognized thern the moment I put my eyes upon them. They were two Kard-looking customers, especially the former. . Putney was tail end stout, with a head ami shoul- ders netnalike those of a bull. He worc-tr scowl upon his lace,, ana seemea to leajrtraeK io his sea.t like one who bold sway o^er^ll around. 'When I first earn etc-him-in toy sweeping glaribe I caught his eye.*: He trf-* ed hard to keep up dria gaze, hut in a very 1 few seconds his lids trembled and his eyes , sank. ?I knew I could conquer him in some w?7- *' % ~ ? Stephen "Oliver was not so tall'ag PhtSej, though some said stronger. But he was a better man. His face was mo re-intelligent, and he seemed to have some pride. As soon as all was still I ma. mark*; I opened my desk and drew -fbrth the ponderous ferule and raw-hide,. 'Do these belong to any oneofihe sohool V I asked, holdin'g ihem*up. ?** - * No one answered. I then asked Lydia Bonney if she knew to whom they belonged. She said she believed *their last teacher brought them. I then stepped down and put them into the stove. After this I told the scholars that I had come there to teach them?to help them to an education which should fit them better for the various paths in life they might be called upon to pursue. I pictured to them the educated man and woman in oontrast | with 'fcbkignorant, nnd'iirged them to weifchij "welljtie considerations I-gav^ them.

After j ;he harness is dry, wash thoroughly with ^ soapsuds. In making the suds use good oas- r die soap and cold rain water. Warm water v should never be used on harness leather.? q Apply the suds with a sponge. Hub off with buckskin. This will give your harness v i nice glossy surface, and the leather will re- t tain a good color and will continue pliable ^ for months. If it becomes solid with mud jr sweat, an application of soap and water, is above directed/ (without oiling) will be t sufficient* give jh^Jbjighi appearance.? two applications of this oil and Hack mix* Hwli, year (or di$e jfeij six months,) will b& &i&cicDt to'icWp the harness as ordinary good order?
