What She Called Him.

A well-known educationalist vouches for the truth of the following : A teacher in a lower grade in one of our public schools received a new pupil—a little miss of 6or 7 years, named, say, Mattie Brown. After taking her name for the school-rolls, according to' the custom, the teacher said : “ What is your papa’s name, Mattie?” “Mr. Brown.” ‘f Yes, but what is his first name ?” “Don’t know—his name is just Mr. Brown. ” “ Yes, yes—l knowthen, as a bright idea struck her, “What does your mamma call him ?” “Oh! I know what you mean now,” the innocent child replied; “ma calls him a darned old fool!” It is sale to conclude that the teacher did not register the child’s father as D. O. F. Brown. —Rochester Union. When you are all played out be careful wliat you eat, but take Kidney-Wort. When the Pilgrims first landed they fell on their knees, after which they fell on the aboriginees.
