A GIRL'S FHEAK.

Berta Richards entered the niorningroora with au open letter in her hand and a shine of triumph on her piquant face. "I've got it, Aunt Marie—the school in Squeedunk hollow."

Aunt Marie sighed in a martyr-like way she had, that always amused her niece immensely. She had long since ceased to be greatly astouisned at Bert's odd ways. She" simply resigned herself meekly, with now and then a feeble expostulation. Now she said, in rather a startled tone: "Child! who do you mean! Explain yourself, you incomprehensible girl!"

Berta laughed, and said slowly, with great emphasis: "The—school—in—Squeedunk— hollow! I'm engaged as schoolma'am for the coming term, which begins next Monday, at a salary of $7 a week. It's not an embarrassing amount you see, but $7 is something, and I do want to earn some real money of my own!" "But, child, your property "Oh, yes, I know, Aunt Marie of course, I'm what folks call 'rich' but every single cent of all my fortune was left me by poor papa. I never really earned a dollar in my life, and now I'm going to so don't waste time in objecting."

Berta was decidedty independent. Every one knew that, none better than the gentle maiden aunt who made her home with her orphan niece and tried to take care of her. Every one knew the girl's odd ways, and liked her none the less for them. There was a spiciness about her that was bracing and refreshing as a sea breeze, and a magic something about her unexpected sayings and doings that made her popular. bo Berta started for Squeedunk hollow, and found herself snugly established in her new boarding-place a few days before the opening of school.

The residents of1 the hollow viewed her with unfeigned curiosity—"so pretty, so pretty, so stylish, so sociable," they said to one another. The country girls were awed by the beauty aud style of iier gowns, and the pretty twist she gave her bright, brown hair.

Berta made friends with every one, from the trustees to the smallest towheaded urchin in the primer class. People were astonished at the innovations she introduced into the little country school, at the elegant little orgau that arrived one day from the city, and which she played every morning, at the opeuing of school, and every night, at the close. The boys surprised themselves, and each other, by the readiness with which they learned to inaivh to Berta's music.

The children were delighted with the bright pictures she bought aud hung on the bare, whitewashed walls, with the blossoming house-plants she begged or boiTowed of the willing-hearted women, with the colored cnalk she bought for them, with the story-books she lent them.

Tryphene and Tryphosa Spencer, the two old maids, who"lived next door to the schoolhouse. complained of #too much "singin' an' marchin' an' sech," and were scandalized by hearing occasional peals of unrestrained laughter, the schoolma'am's clear voice among the others. "Twa'n't so in our days, Tryphena, was it?" Tryphosa would say, solemnly, with a doleful look at her twin-sister, over her spectacles, as they sat together at their patchwork, and Tryphena would respond with a melancholy siiake of her head: "No. 'twa'n't, Tryphosa but to lie sure, uothin' ain't the same now-days."

In spite of Tryphena and Tryphosa, the school in Squeedunk hollow succeeded gloriously. The school was large tltat winter, aud Berta had several pupils older and taller than herself.

Among them was one who-troubled her sorely sometimes, not by misbehavior, for he was a model for the school, but she was strangely puzzled SQinetimes at his questions, aud only her quick wit saved her from disastrous failure, as, with the eyes of the school upon her, Horace Gray would come to her innocently with some difficult problem or puzzling catch-question.

Many a night she sat up late, in her roam working for hours at some eluslTTs problem, until she solved it triumphant next morning when she saw the mischievous, brown eyes sober into a look of quiet surprise as he looked at the plucky little teacher.

The days went on happily. There were sociables, and douatious, and surprise parties innumerable. Squeedunk hollow had never before seen so lively a winter. Berta was responsible for all the merry-makings and good times. She ornanized a singingschool, and secured the services of a teacher from the city, who came up and held his class in the bright little school-house. Tryphena and Tryphosa joined the ela.ss, aud sent their quavering voices along the notes perseverii:gly, if not very tunefully. Horace Gray's fine tenor attracted the notice of the professor, whb praised it highly, aud took special paius with its cultivation.

Horace aud Berta were thrown much together by means of their voices, which blended linely. Often he would remain after" school and sing while Berta sat at the little organ and accompanied him.

The winter term drew toward a close, and regretful words were heard on every side. Every one was sorry to lose tjie little schoolma'am. She herself strangely dreaded to go. The thought was hateful to her. Well, perhaps the trustees would hire her again, nud she would come back—strange, she thought, that she should have grown so attaclied to such a lonely country place. The place? Ah, Berta!

One day a dreadful thing happened. Horace Gray, the tallest and oldest young man, whom all the other boys looked up to and venerated, because of his seniority and mustache, behaved so badly all the afternoon that the teacher wrote his name on the blackboard as a mark of disgrace, and commanded him to remain after school for punishment. The other pupils looked at her in amazement, never doubting that tho great fellow woukl promptly throw her out of the window if she attempted to punish him, but loving and admiring her all the more for the pr^tf 'y iudigDantUash in her blue eves.

THE CRAW FORDS VILLE WEEKLY REVIEW.

•X/nwuren, sue saia, "i nave nevci used this ferule as a means of punishment, but I mean to £ry it to-night."

An audible gasp broke from twenty pairs of lips, and Horace Gray, with a hot flush on his face, and his eyes downcast, looked at the palm of his large hand,With a queer, little smile lurking about his mouth.

The school was dismissed, and the amazed urchins dispersed to their homes to tell the news: "Teacher's going to whip Horace Gray!"

Tne silence in the little school-house grew oppressive. The clock ticked noiselessly on the wall. Berta felt as though it were her heart beating there. Her breath came fast as she took her ferule* from her desk. Her voice trembled. "Horace Gray, come here!"

The great, broad-shouldered fellow rose obediently and came down the aisle, standing respectfully before the little teacher. "Hold out your hand," she commanded.

He held it out at once—his strong, brown, right hand. Berta took it in her own then dropped it suddenly. Her face flushed crimson, and the tears came into her soft eyes. "I can't strike you, Horace," she said, "you are too big. but I am not afraid of you. It would be shameful to strike you. It would humilate me as much as you. What shall I do with you, you great, unruly fellow?"

He raised his eyes and looked at her —his whole heart in his eves and on his lips: "Love me," he said, "and be my wife?"

Berta turned away aud put the ferule in her desk, locked it, aud then did sundry other little things about the room before she noticed^him. Then she cam* back to him, and looked straight into his eyes from the platform on wnich she stood—with a strange look in her eyes, a quiver of. her lips, a paling of her face—then she laughed. "That is the greatest punishment I could inflict upon you. Horace!" she said," and I will do it."

When thejT were walking homeward in the dusk, he said: "I was bad purposely, Berta—I longed for you to punish me. I loved you so I could not help wishing to be kept after school. I have always made you trouble, haven't I? I can't tell why, only that I could not bear to be unnoticed by you, and I wanted you to think of ine, even as a bother anvl a trouble to you."

Berta looked up at her tall pupil, her eyes alight with loving mischief. "It's perfectly ridiculous, isn't it, Horace—my falling in love with one of my own bad boys, and a Squeedunker at that! What will Aunt Marie say!"

He did not come to school any more that term. The children never found out exactly how he was punished, but supposed that, being too big to ferule, the little teacher had expelled him.

At the grand concert which wound up the singing-school Tryphena and Tryphosa nudged each other in the ribs, and nodded significantly when Berta and Horace stood up together to sing their duet. "Must be they've made up," one virgin sister whispered to the other "just like Horace Gray to go and marry this highty-tighty city girl!"

Berta's wedding outfit was simple aud inexpensive. Those who knew, said it could not have cost more than $70, but she looked as winsome a bride as ever the sun shone on when, in June, she gave her life iuto the keeping of Horace Gray.

Berta kuew how'she paid for her pretty trosseau—and so uo we. "A girl's freak," her friends called it, but Berta can never be persuaded that fate was not in it after all.— N. Y. Ledger.

Henry Bergh.

Among the men of this century who will be noted as a public benefactor, with other whose memory is already canonized for their humanity and the relief of sufferinir, is Henry Bergh. The suffering inflicted upon the most faithful brute servants of man, who are at once dumb and helpless, is enormous and universal and constant. Yet it seemed practically to be unobserved, and when Bergh began his mission for relief he found himself ridiculed, discredited, aud often stubbornly opposed. But his earnest and quiet lidelity has awakened public attention, so that withi'u the range of Bergh's work the man who publicly abuses his horse is now aware that at any moment he may be authoritatively restrained, and that conscibusness alone has saved immense suffering.

But the human relation to domesticauimals and the animals that serve us is still' barbarous. No man can see what treatment a noble horse,straining aud struggling to do his best, often receives from his owner, without wincing at the fate that abandons so flue a creature to so ignoble and cruel a tormentor. The animals will never know their benefactor. But the American list of worthies is incomplete iu which the name of Henry Bergh is not "writ large." George William Curlis, in Harper's Magazine.

He "Was a Gentleman Farmer.

Col. Mayuadier of Aun Arundel County, Maryland, was a large slave owner, says the Baltimore Herald. The Colonel spent a good deal of his time away from home. One time on his return he took a drive over his property, aud on his return meta small colored boy. "Whom do you belong to, boy?" the Colonel aslietl. "Why, sail, I—I—'longs td Col. Maynadier. sail." "Who's he?" inquired the Colonel, to see what the chap would say. "H—h—he's a farmer, sail." "What sort of a farmer?" "Ge—gentleman farmer, sail." "Gentleman farmer!" repeated the Colonel, "What kind of a farmer's a gentleman farmer?" "W—•well, sah,'' spoke up the colored boy, "h—he's a farmer dat don't raise no 'bacco, sah, a—and lias to lwy his co'n, sah."

The Colonel enjoyed the. joke, it is said, and afterward" told it upon himself with much aniusouia*^.

A MODERN DON QUIXOTE.

He Is an American Bat Want* to Becom* Feudal Chief and Revive the Day* of Chivalry.

Ernest Grammont, of France, is very wealthy man, who has come tc this country to purchase suitable land for the erection of a feudal castle, in which he proposes to lead the life and follow the pursuits of a baron of the middle ages. He is fully able to spend a million dollars on any caprice.

Mr. Grammont is an American by birth, but was taken to France when he was a few months old, and this is his first visit to the United States, of which he knows little. His original purpose was to carry out his quaint whim by erecting his feudal fortress on the soil of France, and on an estate near the German frontier he began, and almost completed, the erection of one, but was compelled to stop operations because the French Government disliked the idea of having a fortified place which in time -of war might be occupied by Germans, since the castle was in that section of the frontier along lYance by the terms of her treaty, has had to dismantle her forts. "I am fully satisfied," said Mr. Grammont to a N., Y. World correspondent, "that America is the only place in which I can put my project into practice without causitog'alarm on the part of the Government. I am told that already some of your wealthy men have constructed castle-like dwellings along the banks of the Hudson. My-idea is to improve upon theirs, and to plant right in the heart of a land of industry a castle such as only the age of feudalism produced. It "will be a costly caprice, and I suppose I shall be regarded by the press as the legitimate successor to George Francis Train but no arnouut of ridicule will turn me from my purpose."

Mr. Grammont said that he first selected the South for his castle because he had an idea that among her 60ns he could find some knightly fellows for a garrison, but wh%n told that he would get none but colored men to take service under his banner, he changed his plans and concluded to secure a site overlooking isarragansett Bay.

He wants a commanding position, as high above the sea level as possible, with good approaches and with land' enough to dig a moat. He intends to play the feudal baron to the top of his bent, and will have in his service a body of retainers in the capacity of knights, esquires, pages, men-at-arms, etc.

The castle will be turreted and pierced for archers after the style of the twelfth century, with sallyports, posterns, por-tcullis, battlements, keep aud all the mediieval specialties. The banquet hall will be like those in which feudal barons dined with all their servants and vassals, and if Mr. Grammont is as good as his word the welkin will ring as often as his neighbors choose to lay siege to his fortress, for he will be as hospitable as those whom he will imitate, but he will not replenish his larder by incursions among the fat beeves and bucks of his brother barons. His establishment will contain troubadors for the revival of minstrelsy. The men-at-arms will be uniformed according to the style that prevailed duriug the time of Charles the Bold, the Burgundian costume being the most picturesquo, according to Mr. Grammont's thinking.

What laud remains unused for castle" purposes he will divide into holdings aud distribute among the knights, who will hold them iu fief. from him, subject to forfeiture for any unknightly deed or transgression of the laws of chivalry. Tho^kuight's fee will be a dollar a day, but he will have his spurs hacked from his heels if he is caught wassailing when on duty. Esquires will receive 75 edits a day, and pages 50 cents, with subsistence according to their degree. Falconry will be included among the pleasures Df the chase, and hooded hawks will be seen on the wrists of dames who come down from the castle to hunt their quarry.

Within the castle everything will be on a war footing, and the banner of Grammont will be unfurled to the breezes every day except when the Governor of the State is a guest, in which case the banner will give place to the standard of his excellency, the overlord. "And how much do you expect to pay annually for this fun?" inquired the reporter. "I shall spend ^probably $50,000 a year, aud I shall get the worth of my money out of it." "Have you any heirs?" "I hpve seven or eight." "Living in this countrj'P" '•No iu Germany why?" "Lure them over here as soon as your eastle is completed, and secure them in its deepest dungeons,for if you do not they will run you down when they hear of your feudal fancies, and any court in Rhode Island would sign an order for your committal to an insane asylum." "I'll take my chances 'on that," replied Mr. Grammont. "A man may possess odd whims without .being a lunatic. The towers of my castle will pierce the sky before you are a vear older."

Teachers and Gentle Voices.

That "excellent thing in woman and in mau, also, when in tho schoolroom—the "gentle" voice, though not necessarily "soft" or "low," is ameaps of grace to teacher and taught alike. Few teachers realize hd\v accurately their gaiu or loss iu influence can bo measured by the quality of the tone in which they talk. There is "no excuse for the hard, sharp, rasping tone, so common as to be usually reckoned one of tho characteristics of a "schoolina'm," even in tho noisiest room, or among the most unruly children. Tho law of similia, similibus curaritur does not hold good in such a case. Screaming and shouting at children is to mako demons 6ven of little augels and they must be angelic, indeed, who can escape such transformation. The teacher should know how to make distinctness serve in place of force to tho end of sparing her own throat and the nerves of her pupils.—Caroline B. Le How, in Ladies' Home Journal.: v'
