ot the latUf, this loss of vitality is the penalty annexed for oar ditbedieuce. To retain that vigor we must be trained to use the muscle, and if it be not our lot to perform manval labor to some extent gymnastic exercise must besubstituted. This vigor is essential to our happiness and if we are not happy, we are but illy prepared to battle with life's trials and discharge its duties. Did you ever see a sickly, peevish, fretful person happy? And do they ever write their names high upon the temple of fame? That force is no), only esseutial to your own happinessand advancement iu life, but to perfection in civil government. Without the subjugation of the wilderness, the erection of buildings, manufactories and ships ; the construction of roads and harbors, we could have but a vague form of government, aud at last but a semi savage race of people. A Milton with an intellect unsurpassed for brilliancy could not have braved the
dangers of the unexplored ocean in quest
of a new continent, neither could a Mel
ancthon with his profound learning have succeeded in the reformation had there
not have been an energetic Lutben None but an Alexander could have con
quered the world, none but Napoleon could have been Emperor of Europe, and
we to day might have been groaning un der despotism had there not been a Wash
ton. These men, you will observe, were all possessed oi tine physical development.
Too much care cannot be taken in the
education of the body.
But w hile this care as to the pln'sical
should be strictly enjoined, somcthiny;
more is required. , There must be a w ill, something to plan and lay out for the body to execute, in other words, t here must be a cabinet, of w hich the body is the executive, 'i his we call the power of iu-' veuti.m, and it lies hidden in the mind;
and without this mind, man is purely an
animal. But being endowed by our Creator with a mind, we are thus raised one degree at least, above the other mainalia. And here let me say most teachers, and not altogether wisely, give the most if not all their attention. In our creation, as some suppose, we are like the lower animals, without a uiind,. that education mitkes the mind now without desiring to call in question ibis assumption, I beg leave to say that within every created being, are the elements of a perfect mind. 'Tis education
that develops it br'ngs it out. The mind or soul exists as much in the infant, as in the Philosopher Statesman, or the the learned Di ine ; but that soul without education is like marble in the quarry, the inherent beauties of which are not seen until the skill of the artist brings out the colors, polishes the surface an 1 discovers cver' ornamental cloud, spot,
and vein that runs through the body of it. Education, after the same manner, when it works on a noble mind, draws out to
and perfection thai
hidden to the world
ed it vie.

BY JOHN S. BENDER. If you mean by that term only to be master of science aud literature, that you
may eclipse the world with yoar wisd )in to attain to that eminence in learning, that contempt will cover thy countenance on beholding the more unfortunate; lo cram the mind with learning -and become abook-worm to devour the libraries of the world tor the sake of a name ; if it means all this, without having for its object the ultimate good of mankind, it is but a hollow word, an empty sound, and ought not ' by you be deLed, if you have it no al
ready acq lirtd. What is it? Lexicographers say that h is instruction; formation of "manners; that instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten Unj understanding.
correct the temper, form the manners and ! habits of mind, and lit them for Usefulness in life. To educate then means to instruct, train up and enlighten the understanding.. i , This deiinition is correct, but beiag
general, that we may fully comprehend
what we mean by thia instruction, it will
be proper here to briefly inquire into the
constitution of the human being. Man is a compound being, aud when
used here we man the whole human family. He is possessed of a body, soul
and spirit, or in other words, a physical,
mental and moral nature, and that the whole being act in unison, due regard
must be had to all its parts.
' Upon the perfect development of the
physical, depends your future Usefulness ! in life, for it is through this structute that the great important and active duties of life are peiformed ; through w hich all that energy is acquired, which gives force and fixedness of purpose, that the indi vidua! may be prepared, to successfully compete with the obstacles thrust in his way, while upon his journey, aud just in the ratic of proportion to this development of the physical, will this power be given.. .-'. ' The ljody is the great galvanic battery of the humau being, and whea l well charged, it gives life, health, vigor and energy to the whole being, t. Ilereia Iks the great secret of force of character. It is animal electricity and nothing more. With this premise, we proceed to state
that it being a part of the divine economy in our creation, that a perfect development depends upon its exercise, it may be inferred therefrom as a truth, not to be tbat denied the omission upon your pa t
to obey thia with it but

view that virtue would forever lie
without it. For a more forcible illustration of Ihe
pow er of education, permit me to allude to Aiiatottlc's explanation of his doctrine of subatanti d forms. lie sas that the
statue lies hidden in the blocks of mar
ble; and that the art of ihe statuary only
clears away the superfluous matter and removes the rubbish. What the artist
does for the block of marble, education
does for the humau mind. You "will, therefore, agree rh me when I say that
the Philosopher, the Sage, Statesman, baint and Divine may lie entombed in the most ignoble, w hich a nroper education' would have brought to light. The mind of F'lton, atetit lav.
And th.i: of W ebster and of Olaj; ' fwa education that did find - The hidden stainr ot their miud. As we look over the statuary, we liehold some chipped, some partially finished, aud some complete ; but none so perfect but the touch of a Powers would add to their beauty. - ' - To the educated mind may be attributed the h mor of the progress of the age. It could not have resulted from chance; but f. om reileciion and through deep thought,
which is ihe result of a trained mind. If
there is a point in the history of the world more remarkable thaa another, it
seimis to me to be found in the nineteenth
century. Behold the vast network ot
railroads completed in the last thirty-nine
years, over which are drawn the huge
iron wagons by the mighty steel horse,
the velocity of which exceeds twenty
miles per hour, opening np commercial in
tercourse w it h every city on our continent.
performing in one day more than could have been accomplLhed in one year with
the same labor, a little over a quarter of a
century ago. And that is not all, the very
destructive elements are brought down to subserve the use of man." Behold the lightning's ". red glare, controlled as an
agent for the universal benefit of man;
controlled as a harmless babe, penning letters and sent to distant lands, with the
velocity of light. The Atlantic Cable, the
nerve which links together as one, the old and the uew'world, through which medium the people of New York can talk -with the people of London, as it weref face to
face. This is the result of an educated
mind. The mind wills aud the body acts
and may we not ak, What is there yet
that may not be accomplished ? ) . J '
Education is not only the training of the
body and mind, but must include his mors
al nature. So essential is mora! training to the full development of our being, that it appears to have been the first aim of the
heatLen philosophers and sagea to instruct their jmpils in thia branch. We find that
Cicere in a book dedicated to his son, for
his and the instruction of the Romans of
his son's age, has penned this, language.
After endeavoring to impress upon the lkijd of his son, the great necessity of a
rigid adherence to great moral prinsiples,
and that it should be the distinguishing
trait of man, to tollow after truth he says
ou- words and actions, in which consists moderation and. temperance.
We need not search ancient authors for
proof upon this point, as our own exper
ience has written indellibly upon the tab
let of ecery mind that moral training is essential to the well being of every indi
vidual, and to the very existence of society itself. Because it imbodies in it the
reat central idea truth and every thing else, that has, for its object, the common
weal. But the sacred pages, almost on every line, enjoin us to cultivate the virtues, and warn us of the penalty annexed to the
commission of crime, or the omission of duty, and the latter, of all other authority, we ought to obey. , The design of education is to make men (letter, aud that is no education at all which does not conduce to this end. The importance of attending to this division of our nature is incalculable, as it Is only through tfiis medium that any good can be wroup-ht upon the human family. It is man's great pilot, and if properly trained in connection with the physical and mental powers, lie is able to pass on life's turbulent ocean without a wreck. Let me illustrate. The mighty ship Is launched in the trackless ocean ; her proud deck is firm and able to vi,iutnnd the heavi
ness of the surging billows ; the compass
is on board to determine the course, with
the instruments to ascertain her lattitude and longitude. The ship is new and firm ;
the happy crew start out to sea with buoyant hearts for a safe journey. Soon
the clouds blacken in the distance ; the
zigzag lightning is now vividly seen, fol
lowed by the rolling thunder. Nothing, as yet, seems to frighten the crew. The
str.rm increases, and soon the stern ship is driven against a huge rock and dashed to pieces. There was no faithful pilot
there. Moral training is as essential to
the man as the pilot to the ship. - The
body is the hull, the mind the compass,
the morals the pilot.
While it would seem impossible to bestow too much attention upon man's
moral nature, and I may say that it can
not be it taken in connection w ith the othT powers; yet even here, if due re
gard be not had to the body and mind, ma
terial evils will ensue. Suppose for
moment we return to our ship, the :s
now in bad order; the compass needle
has lost its polarity. An excellent pilot is on board; she starts out to sea, and,
however well qualified he may be, do you suppose from that imperfect instrument
the bearing could be determined, and from
the want of this know ledge she is again wrecked upon ihe reefs; but if perchance she should escape the rocks, her hull be
ing weak, she springs a leak. The pumps
are set to work, but the water increases.
The crew and passengers are all called
to assist; but with all their labor the ship soou goes down, carrying freight, crew, pilot and all. She's lost! Man's moral pilot may be well trained, but ifhis min'l be not trained, it may be very uillicult to determine his course to be useful iu life, and if his body be weak he is lost
in the hand of the maniac. Aye, more, it would demolish society itself. The ancient Priests seeing this, in their endeavor to arrest the tendency, declared that Ignorance was the mother of devotion. I have presented you with extremes. It is rare that such cases do occui ; but in proportion to our neglect to each division, or the failure on our part to keep up an equilibrium, will we approach these extremes. Having hinted at the importance of educating the whole being, and
alluded to some of the evils attendant upon the failure to keep up the equilibrium,
by training the whole capacity, it is appa
rent that education means the careful
training of the whole being in his com
pound nature; and when thus developed is one of God's noblest creatures on earth.
In this capacity everything is contemplated for the ultimate good of mankind, and to that end, aud to subserve their interest, you not only find him mastering the
elements, but adapting the destructive
agencies in nature to man's benefit.
Who is there that would refuse to ap
ply themselves constantly to the devclojv
ment of all their powers ? Who is there
that does not desire that moral develop
ment which would enable him or her -to
grasp in all the requirements of that na
ture, and be fully cognizant of our rela
tion to each other and to our God. Who
does not desire the mind of a Newton that
he may at one glance grasp in the whole
of nature's laws ; or the physical develop
ment of a Washington, that w heneverthe mind is w illing to discharge the duties of
life the body is able to perform. When
this is done you have found the Philosopher's stone. You are then prepared to
perform life's duties, with a promise of a name written higher, and in the end everlasting happiness. You can then say : My life on cart h.has not been spent in vain, Tho' it has cost me labor and much pain. Cold in the dust this perished heart must lie; But that which warmed It once can never die. The above was prepared and read before the Stark County Teachers' Institute Nov. 26, 1860. Having, as yet, no reason to change our views, and this being the season w hen the miud is naturally turned to educational matters, we reproduce it for what it is worth. J

to the world. More than this, vv'id mor
als, with an untrained n.ind, leads to the greatest superstition, aud are capable of being led by the sagacity of one, or a few men, into ihe grossest kind of errors, and to the annihilation ofothei races; using that very power w hich w as deciguul lor the good of the race to the destruction of the tame. V ho does not shudder at Aztec barbarism - and the car of Juggernaut?
1 his is eveu to be seen arnonjj c!irtztian
of antiquity. . Where did you ever behold
uch antipathy as existed between the
Catholic and Protes'ant part of Ireland?
r between the established chinch and the
dissenters of England ? All this grew out of religious "or moral zeal, without the
proper balance of mind to afford a check.
And this feeling is not altogether done
away with in our day. and the fact called
;'orth the following from Moore:
"That mad as christians used to be, About the thirteenth century. There's lots of christians to be had In this, the niueicenth, just as mad." A salutary check for these evils may be
found in a well trained bstdy and mind.
But the evils arising from ihe develop
ment of the physical to ihe enrire ngleH of the mental and moral development,
can scarcely be portrayed, lie is a cauk
er to society, aud like ihe aimy woimde
vours eveo thing thai comes in his wiry, and like the peslilence corrupts every
thing in which he cou es in contact. .We
find an example in the form of a Jeffries;
and, if you will pai don me for the allu
sion, I'll say in the form of a Piobst, the perjetiator of the bloody murder of the
Ueering family.
The angry Bear, the fierce Tiger, may

purposes. His desires are sensual, his
proclivities are base, his purposes are evil
Who does not know that he is a bane to
society ? But the most terrible position in
which we can view - man is in the devel
opment of the mental capacity, to the en
tire neglect of the soul. The former case,
just iihiuUated, - seldom, if ever, has the
mental acuteness to attain position, hence can only injure that with; which he comes
in contact or falls in his way ; but he who
has mental acuteness,' may, by that inge

Mr. noag did not wish anyone to think
his method best. History needed study.
Pupils should exercise their minds. Read dill'erent books with interest and gain information from other than their
text books. Believed iu oral communication of the teacher. Spoke of the Ins'itute in his own county iu giving illnstratrations. Of deiicieuccy iu remembering dates. Teachers should sec that dates be learned and remembered. That pupils should bx; drilled; every one should be thoroughly informed relating to theirow n land. . Believed in teaching history in
mucelaneous exercise. Believed a great-
d'.-al iu instructions outside of text books.
This was not the only way a ad perhaps
not tne best. He snoke of the game of
twenty; asked questions and have the
pupil's answer after asking the number of
questions, fcevere criticism; but Kina and gentlemanly.
Mr. Beiler asked if he thought it best
to teach by assoceation. or abstractly.
Mr. Hoag said both might be used bene
ficially.
Mr. Beiler wanted to know if it would
not be butter to associate the meaning and the dates. '
Mr. Hoag said he did associate the
meaning and p.actice in some cases, and he learned the use abstractly.
Mr. Eeiler thought it was not correct to
learn anything abstractly, ami he thought
it was easier to learn according to asso

obliged to associate some meaning; but
he coincided with Mr. Hoag.
Mr. Chase thought the memory could
not act w ithout associating, either date or names.
Mr. Bailey said if Mr. Hoag did not
connect the name aud the action, he did
not agree w ith him.
Mr. Beiler said there must be some as

Mr. Hoag thought there was some as

KEEPING REPORT OF PUPILS. Tardiness Conduot Recitation &c. Mr. Hume thought it was difficult to
keep such a report in thecouptry schools ;
but he did not consider it useless. Some pupils like a good report.
. Mr. Raymond used what he called an Index Register; keeping record of tardi
ness. . thought it better to keep reports
than use so much hickory oil
Mr. Chase thought it the" better way to keep reports. Spoke'of making a machine. Mrs. Pierce had no objection to the system. ' - ' , . . "- :' Miss Borton thought the work was a greatdeai. Thought there might be some method of less "work. Mr. fiime said he bad had no expert ence.'. -. ; v, Miss Borton wished, to know how to keep deportment. ' i ; . .... - Mr. Chase, thought there should be no complicated system but to use some simple one. 4 They - might have a . short concise one,.; Parents desire a report, and they have a right to demand it. Some
parents care, a greatdeai about the. correct
report being brought home regularly; and even if parents, for the most did not wish reports, he would have them. r Mr. Hamilton wanted to know if they
6hould be used in the country where they '
have to work. . , . . - Mr. Chase said it produced an ambition to be more punctual. . . ' : t Mr. Bailey aid the parent had nq right to keep his .boy at home to work in the morning. The schools would be behind just aa long as they did so.; A report was necessary. Country, tchoola could, and must keep a report. It is ruinous to
a school not to keep a report.
Rtadtug Programme for evening session. ' . Critic's Report. Music "America." Adjournment.' Tuesday Eve., Nov. 23th, '71. Music "Do the right." Discussion of question "What constitutes proper decorum in school." Mr. Baldwin thought it a very broad question. The Trustees should compel the enforcement of good order. The houae should be in good order, and warm
enough by half past 8 a, m. Did not
think that rules were necessary there ihould be but few. "Do right," with all
He illustrated a case of
, s - Using a number of rules. Some teachers
enioice rules unnecessarily others, not
enough. Swearing should be prohibited.
Changing seats; leaving the room after whispering, should be prohibited so far as possible, except by permission of the
teacher. Permission to be asked by raising the hand, and not by exclaiming.
Records were necessary for the good or
der of the school. There should be a standard average, and pupils should be required to come up to the average, ne
was opposed to the tardy slate ; Truslees should do as they think best. Thought oral exei rises, declamation should be
made a duty, as much as to be in any oth
er c'ns. me school stiouia oe aiviaea
in two divisions, having their declama
tions and prepared essays alternately.
Should punish them the same iu case of failure as in other studies.
Prof. Ramey thought it best to use a lardy .-hue. To have the slate placed under the clock. Pupils would dislike to write their names on this slate. If they have no slate, pupils become careless, and take advantage. This, or something better should be used. Sometimes, in the country, it is the fault of the parents, aud if there was a slate, pupils would speak to their parents about it, and try to avoid it. It would be no trouble to the teacher. Mr. Luldwin said some pupils could' not write, and it required some of the teacher's lime. It is no particular trouble for the teacher to copy from the slate into his book. If any record is kept, it should be attendance and punctuality. Some stucieri s are studious, but not punct
ual and orderly, and do not have their lessons. Pupils do dislike to have their names on the slate. He agreed with Mr. Baldwin about whispering, changing
could Mt iit a.reon three hours without a drink. They should know what their lessons arc before school, and have their books on their desk. There were some exceptional cases. Should ask questions
w hile changing classes. Mr. Orr thought Mr. Baldwin's suggestion, concerning declamation, more prominent than hat of punctuality.
Mr. Hume did not think the literary! exercises very necessary. He thought the reason persons had nothing to say was because they knew nothing. Mr. Chase disagreed with 3Ir. Hume. Tiiere w ere many w ho did not speak who Lad good minds. Mr. R. A. Hume disagreed with Mr. A. C. II. Most men were able, but some w ere embarrassed in speaking, when their thoughts were as good as those who did speak. 31 r. O. A. Hume agreed with his older b.oiher. Mr. A. C. Hume disagreed with both and triod to convince them that they were in error, by tepeating, about what he had said before. . Mr. R. A.. Hume said there was no boy or girl but what had some idea about every thirg. Mr. Nichols thought pupils should begin as soon as they begun to go to school, almost. He thouget the fewer rules the
better, and live up to those he made. A tardy slate should be kept. Mr. Hume tried to convince the Institute further.
31 r. Baldwin believed speaking in public consisted in self control. There were many who were able, but for their em . arrasainent. Mr. Chase said he was about halfinciined to agree with A. C. Hume. Did not believe in any rules. He kindly asked a pupil not to whisper if he whispered. He sgiced partly w ith 3Ir. Hume, but
thought there should be literary exercises ; but not in a monotonous tone. The question was that if the rhetorical exercises be properly couducted.wouldthcy be beneEcixl ? He thought they would. Pupilsshould study thctrexercises. They should be made a class exercise. Every niHU should know how to talk. 3Ir. Nichols would hot make a set of rules the first morning ; but at the committing of crime. 3Ir. Baldwin asked if he would make a ue rule for every crime. - Mr. N. said he would not have rules for everything. ' ' : , . : ' . - ." '

Mr. A. C. Hume said that was the only

"Is the rod necessary to successful
school government T" ...
31r. Viervey did not think it was , Ii was only necessary in some cases. It
might be prohibited from playing with
others, or witn cacnomer. There was only one case in his school last w inter,
and that was the way he phntshed tbenL
Mr. Ramy asked what he would do if
the pupils did play with each other, with
out permission.
Mr. Hume said that had never hap
pened, and he -could not telL what he
would do.
Mr. R. A. nume did not agree with Mr. Ilcrvey. If it was no more a punishment
to use the rod than his mode, why didn't
he use the former " He thought he should
bring them up and talk to them, if they were obstinate whip them, if they were
still obstinate, and talk to them until they were penitent. He thought be hurt the
pupils more than to keep them from their companions. Advocated the usefof the rod pretty strongly. Mr. Henry wanted to know how it damaged pupils, keeping them from others. 3Ir. Hume said it would affect their play. Miss Nash said sho should whip pupils if she wished. She would not wait for extreme cases ; but if a person told her
she did not dare, she should do it. There J might be some extreme cases in which the whip would not be necessary.
Miss Nichols did believe in the use of the rod in some cases. Mr. Ni. hols did not believe in sw itching first. He would use other means, then resort to the whip. He would w hip pupils if he chose. Mr. Hume was not in favor of using the rod; but iu some case he would us: it. Not for fighting, talking just as good as the rest. In some cases it would do them good. 3Iiss Nash thought that for a second offence, she would whip them more. 31r. Nichols said some came to school who were stronger than their teachers. Mr. Bailey said that teachers were protected by the law, iu usinsr the rod. He thought there was too much sport in the debate, and is his own judge. Some pu pils could not be overcome by whipping. Would like to see a school where ther did
not use it. Jlr. Hume said he differed from 3Ir.
Bailey. In Mr. Orr's school, there was no rod. 3Ir. Orr said he differed very widely from 3Ir. Bailey. He never used the rod, and cortrolled his. school without it. Invited 3Ir. Bailey to visit his school. Said the teacher must judge the punishment of pupils. He don't tel! tlie pupils that he
is not intending to use the rod. 3Ir. Beiler said schools sTiovld be governed without the rod. Some teachers could not govern pupils without the rod. 3Ir. Chase said all pupils iu an ordinary school could not be governed without the rod. lie spoke of this Institute as being necessary for the good of the country. He thought the executive committee
should be elected a year before hand. There should be more than one session in
a year. That it should meet at other places. (Amen from some one in the audience.) That it should be the Insti tutoofthe teachers. That they should talk every one. 3Ir. Ramey said 3Ir. Chase had said all. He wanted to know if all the teechcrs of JIarshall County were here. He wa3 in favor of meeting in different places. Wanted the Institute to meet in Bourbon. Mr. Baldwin thought the Inst itute might meet in Bourbon next spring. There were not more than one third of the teachers of the county present. 3Ir. Chase thought the teachers who could not come should not keep their schools iu session. The Trustees were supported by teachers. He would try hard and secure a better system. Did not think that they should vote that eveuing whether they shou'd meet in Bourbon.
A Military Outrage. On 'Monday night of this week, A. C7

with half a dozen men, all of whom vere unknown to him. he was arrested as a
deserter from the 4th Cavalry, by a Ser
geant of the First U. 8. Infantry, a stranger iu those parte, who was supported ia the perpetration of this outrtge by the voices of all the men in the room saying "he's the man, take him along:" , . , . r After the Sergeant had hand-cuffed his prisoner, he read hi3 authority from the War Department to make the arrest: Mi". Wait submitted of course without resistance, although stoutly denying. his guilt, and they sallied forth to find some proof that he was - really himself. -It happened that Major Biake was yet busy in his office, whither the officer and innocent vie" tim repaired, and on testimony the captive was soon set at liberty: " This i i how it came about : The guilty party in the room ; Col. Wilson had called
there with the Sergeant a few minutes before, ascertained the fact and described the person wanted. It seems the Sergeant did not correctly understandthe Colonel, hence made the humiliating mistake on his return. The real deserter escaped, during the absence of the officer, and has not yet been arrested. , Of course no person can be serlousij' blamed for the mistake, as the innocent
prisoner suited the description from the War Department, and yet it does seem a great outrage that so good a man as Ab'ner Wait should suffer the humiliation of marching up Broadway, in Peru, a prisoner in irons, while he bad so many friends and acquaintances in hailing distance. What a pity they were all asleep I We now invite him to lodge with us next time he conies to'town. Peru Republican:
. A Cheap Ice-hocse. Throw a dozen" or two old rails or poles on a piece of ground sufficiently inclined to carry off the water, fill the crevices between the poles with sawdust, cover with old boards slabs or barks, get from the saw mill a few loads of slabs, take four, say twelve feet long, notch the corners like a log
horrse, set them on the platform, and you have a crib about ten aud a half feet square by the width of the slab deep; fill this crib with sawdust and pack it down hard.
Cut your ice so that it will pack close, and two by four feet ; lay it on the saw
dust, put on another crib of slabs and fill
up and pack hard with sawdust, all around and so go cn until you get six or eight
feet ; then put a foot and a half of sawdust on top ; over this put a shed roof of slabs one end of the slabs nearly to the ice, raising the other three feet; If ice is all that is wanted, it will keep in this manner as well as in a varnished house."
Falsehood Exposed. Mr. Editor : I see an article going the rounds of the papers, in which it is stated t hat I have become convinced of my error' in opposing the Kankakee Tally Draining Co. and am now about joining them in their operations. This statement is unqualifiedly false ; I have no connectiort with them, nor do I intend to have any other than contest what I deem their illegal claims. 3Iany of the statements made to induce those who arc opposed to join this close corporation, are so well known to be absurd and incorect, that no' intelligent man could so far stullify himselfas to leud his sanction to their schemes I, for one, can not consent to even have the suspicion attached to me that I regard this scheme other thau an illegal attempt to deprive land-holders of their land. Such appears to be the' opinion of trione most affected, a-j over 300 appeals have been taken in this county from their as

The StiuiRE's Indigestion.--Old Squire II was a very successful und substantial farmer, in an interior town of Massachusetts, and a more amazing cater never lived in any town anywhere. And especially much did he cat when fresi? pork was to be the nourishment. Well, at a certain tiuufone of his hogs had been" killed. Tho next morning there was to be fresh pork for breakfast, aud the old man ate most wondrously. lix the course of the forenoon he ate his luncheon, consisting of bread and butter and mince'pie and cheese. At noon his dinner consisted of fresh pork, pickics, mince pie, and the usual accompaniments. His afternoon lunch was like that of the forenoon. When he came home ta his sapper, his favorite dish had not been prepared s part of that meal. The old man fretted and scolded till, fresh pork was added to the substantial He ate voraciously, as usual. In the
evening he toasted some cheese; buttered and ate it. Just before sroinsr to bed hp.

In the night he was taken w ith a severe

with the old Squire. "Faithful Bowles."
said the old worthy, "I liked to have died
last night. I'll never eat another roast
apple as long as I live. I never did love
them very well, and last night I ate only
