1 s -"flasptfl TTIjj r;cf Very few persons can truthfully say that it U not In their power to oblaln a good education. There are very few obstacles that cannot be overcome by persistent effort. We think too much of the difficulties in the way of our acquiring knowledge. If the time spent in wwhin and doubting, were spent in patient study, we should find ourselves ascending the hill of science, slowly perhaps, but surely, and becoming better thinkers every day. We forget that the smoGihe-st path is out really the most successful one. The energy used in overcoming didcuPics, gives us a life time power which we cculd not otherwise possess. It is this very energy which has made men great. The difficulties of life are only friends in di-guise. Almost every man who has attained distinction gives evidence of this: Young persons desiring an education should take heart when they consider such examples as the following: Elihu Burrit learned Latin and Greek while serving as an apprentice at the blacksmith's trade. Afterward, while still working at the same trade, and working steadily, too, he mastered twenty six different languages. Leonard P. Frost, Principal of the Waltham High School a school which Horace Greeley called the "model school of New England" was, at the age of eighteen, a shoemaker, uneducated, and relying entirely on his own energies for support. He studied while at work, and laid the foundation of his present high attainments. Roger Sherman, the shoemaker; Hen. Franklin, the tallow-chandler; Columbus, the son of a poor wool-comber; Bunyan, the tinker, and a numberless host of other great and .good men, only reached the hiffhts of excellence and of fame by the energy developed In patiently contending with a succession cf diji-adties. In the face of facts like these, what young man oi young woman can s:ty, I have not the opportunities for an education? One-half hour per day spent in careful study, to be thought of afterwards while at work, has been the scanty allowance which has made more than one man a good thinker and a good scholar. Patient application will insure success. By this a thousand young persons in'Orange county alone, might in the next ei r' ht years secure an excellent High School education, to be a source of pleasure and profit during the remainder of a long and useful life. A teacher suggests the following in Grammar. What do other teachers think about it? A form for, parsing the relative pronoun whose. JVfiose is a word used instead of a noun; hence, it is a pronoun. Tt is a pronoun which presents again in a new relation in the thought, an object which has already been presented in the' sentence; hence, it is a relative pronoun.

5,SfiR if 12 ej J edge Pitman's boy Bill acquires learning In a leg school house. At one place the plaster between the logs Is broken away, and through this aperture Bill endeavored to escape feet foremost during school J hours one day last summer. Un fortunately he stuck fast when half way through, and he could neither return nor retreat. When the attention of Mr. Simes, the teacher, wm directed to the culprit, Mr, Simes proceeded to the exterior of the edifice and embraced the opportunity to hammer him with a shingle. Then young Mr. Pitman was pulled out and plunged Into sums in vulgar fractions. Near the school house there Is a mill race, at the end of which tl creis a sluice-gate. Immediately be'ovv the gate there is a huge, deep tank, which carries water to an undershot wheel. The Inside of the tank is green and slimy, and when the water is drawn carefully out of it a great many fish can often be found lying in the bottom. The tank is fifteen feet deep. A few d iys after the flogging Bill happened to pass the tank and looked in. He saw Mr. Simes at the bottom picking up fish and putting them into a bag. William felt that the hour of vengeance had struck. lie turned the handle of the sluice gate, and in less than a minute that jolly old pedagogue was floundering in six feet of water, trying in vain to clamber up the slimy sides of the tank. When he saw young Pitman he shrieked to him for help. But Bill, with fiendish coolness, said: "No, sir; you've got to tread water till you promise never to lick me again." Then Simes solemnly pledged himself never to strike another blow at him, and Bill let the water fiom the tank and helped Simes out. That night, when Bill got home, he found Simes there conversing with the Judge, and five minutes later the Judge wa fondling William with a trunk strap, while Simes sat by and smiled. William ha.s since expressed the opinion confidentially that Simes is a perfidious scoundrel. Philadelphia Bulletin. How Many Apples Did Adam and Eve Eatl Somo say Eve 8 and Adam 2, a total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing out far differently. Eve 8 and Adam 8 also. Total 16. J3oston Journal. We think the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total will be DO. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the antediluvians were a race of giants, and consequently great eaters, reason something like this: Eve Slst, and Adam 82. Total 1C3.

them, only asking that she will nicely cook what is left for himself to make a square meal off of them. Kingston (2V. I'.) Freeman. Some months ago a woman in New Jersey became Xr i. :-'L;"i.?hed

mother of a rr 1 and intricate infant. O -' -ibly the infant was a girl, be , : v-;s fitted up with a double I cf arms, and an extra leg. It would naturally be supposed that the mother of a child so unique and interesting would have been extremely proud of the acquisition, and would have promptly made arrangements to place it miiarnum's circus, or-in some other trood exhibition where it would do the most good. Never; less the woman was greatly dissatisfied, and took the ground that inasmuch as she had not ordered a four-armed and three-legged infant, she was under no obligation to receive it. After a few weeks spent in bewailing her fte and upbraiding her mnocent and dismayed husband, she finally announced that she had decided to send the child to a surgeon in order to have it made over so as to resemble the usual style of child. It was generally supposed that she had carried out this resolution, but as time wore on and the infant was not returned, the neighbors began to suspect that either the surgeon had an unusal number of children on hand waiting to be repaired, or that he had met with some unexpected difficulty in remodeling so complicated an infant, and had, in fact, irretrievably damaged it. As it subsequently appeared, the surgeon was free from all blame and had never even seen the child; for the accidental discovery of its remains in a well adjoining its mother's house made it reasonably certain the captious and dissatisfied woman had actually thrown her child away. Such was the view taken of the matter by a local grand jury, and at the present moment the unhappy mother is on trial for the crime of infanticide. JVeio York limes.. A Cool Fugitive. The Paris Temps relates how a lady traveling alone in a first-class railway compartment in France, was surprised by the sudden entrance of a man as the train began moving. He flung a parcel on the seat, sprang upon her before she could shriek, and whispered: "Not a word, or you are dead! Take these scissors and quickly cut my hair short."He knelt down close before her, and she tremblingly obeyed. When it was done, he arose and said: "Now, madame, look out of that window; you will soon be free." The terrified lady again obeyed, but discovered by side glances that he had taken priests' robes out of the parcel and was putting them on. Just then the speed of the train began to slacken; the daring intruder utterly transformed, bowed haughtily, and before the ar stopped, jumped nimbly from the train, and disappeared.

The photograph of the check-shirt robber, so long reputed to. be Clel. Miller, was not identified by any one until a few days ago, when an old lady, seeing it,' fell to the floor in a fainting fit. On her recovery she said, with tears In her eyes, that the dead was her own nephew, John Jarret, a brother-in law of the Youngers. It is said that Jarret's family reside somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Providence, La. The old lady could have no sinister motive in making this declaration.

A boy about thirteen years of age has for the last three months been working for a lame shoe-maker on Gratiot street, but was thrown out of a job and upon a cold world yesterday, through no fault of his. The shoe-maker sent him down town to hear "the latest," and the lad consulted bulletin-board, and went back and said: 'Kellogg says that Louisiana is sure for Hayes by 8,000." "Good!" chuckled the shoe-maker; that defeats Tildeu." In about an hour he sent the boy down again, and the boy reported: "Wade Hampton carries South Carolina." "Thunder! that elects Tilden!" growled the old man, and he threw down his lap-stone in 'a rage. A third time the boy was sent for news, and this time he reported. "Florida Democratic, New York Republlcan.and both parties claiming the election!" "You are discharged, you are not reliable!" roared the old man, but the lad had closely consulted "latest dispatches." Detroit Jree Cider plays a great 1 art in a Norman wedding.
