HOW HE COHERED. BroDsoo Alcott, of Boston, once told Joseph Cook, und Joseph Cook told everybody he met, that he made it a regulation in bis school thnt if a pupil violated rule, 'the master should substitute his own voluntary eacriflci il hastisemeot for that pupil's punishment, and tHs regulation almost Christianized bis school." " One day," Mr. Alcott said, 44 I

called up before me a pupil who had violated an important rule. All the school wus looking on, and knew the rule and the penalty. I p t the ruler iuto ihe offender's band; I extendi d my own hand; I told him to sttike. Instantly I saw a struggle begin in his face. A new light sprang up in bis countenance. A new set of shutilos seemed to be weaving a n v nature within him. I kept my hand extended, aud the school was in tt uis. The boy struck once, od burst into tears. He seemed to be in a baih of lite which was giving him a uew nature. He seemed transformed by the idea that I should suffer chastisement in place of bis punishment, and eer flat was the mo t docile pupil in the school, though he had at hist been the rudest" Now this is very aff cting and reasonable aud striking. No one can read the it. cid' ot t;ud Very leatiily folget it ; and it coutulns a lesson that every school teucher can certaiuly lead with profit. The iucideu eunie to the know ledge of Mr. Willis K. Stoddard, who for some years p..st has be n teacbiug a district school in Flint Sleet luwusbip iu Iowa, lie read this t xtrac from one of Joseph Cook's lecluies, aud never forgot the great moral it convened. And, iudced, ho privately iuforuied a clergy -mau who calletl upou hitu during a critical period in his c.ireer. and with whom he was very lniiinaie, and he didn't think he ev r would ftlffjit it.

And this, being a pleasaut change from the monotonous routine of study and recitation, was always hailed with demonstrations of great joy by the pupils. Mr. Stoddard called Samuel Johnson up to his desk, and more calmly than was bis custom under such circumstances, told him to go out and biing in u switch. The pupils noticed there was something unusually gentle in the teacher's raauuer, and it struck Samuel Jobnsou very foicibly that it was certainly very much out of the ordinary method of procedure for the culprit to be accorded the nrivilerve of cuttincr hla own nvltnk

to appreciate and make the best use of his privileges and opportunities. So be did not idly waste his time, but presently returned with a very peaceful looking switch indeed a switch apparently far gone In the stages of consumption the sickest switch! "Now." said Mr. Stoddard, with a gentle, compassionute intonation, " strike me." Samuel Johnson, who had already begun to unbutton his own jacket, opened his mouth wide, and all the school stared In speechless amazement. !r. Stoddard calmly repeated his order. He thought he coul i see the "new set of muscles b' ginning to work." Some one," he said and a woman could not have spoken more tenderly "some one must suffer for the infraction of the rules. I do not punish any of you for any pleasure It gives me to se you s rTVr. I do it because justice dtmands it. Some one must be punished, and I will suffer chastisement iu your stead." The teacher ?aw new light spring up" in Samuel Sohnsou'a countenance. The boy looked at his teacher and then at bis switch. The teacher could "see a struggle begin in the face." Present ly the teats tprang to Samuel Johnson's eyes, aud he said, in a voice suffused with anxiety: "Hadu't I better go out and get a bigger ewitch," The teacher soTtly told him he might do so if be wished, and Samuel Johnson went out and was gone ten minutes - ten long, anxious, quiet, wondering minutes. When he returned the school s niled. He curt led in I is hand a switch that looked like a Baaafaa peace commissioner. He had cut It out of an Osage hedge, and wheu he held it where the sunliyht could full upon if, it looked wickeder than John Moniss 's faro parlors. It was about seven feet loug, an iuch and tbiee-qnai teis tl.iel; al the hutt, and was limber aLd Iwlttad, and had knots antl kncl.s !tur down to the point. The boj'g face fchooe with a bliebt glow of conscientious satisfaction us he bill. ;Lct d this switch, tnd draw It thtough bis butd. mw-cular hands. Mr. Stoddard stood up and folded, his arms. Th u he sai I. with a rad, swttt look at the t ulj rit. "Now stiike me." The school j ist sut still aud held its breath. Samuel Johnson did not act in greed and unseemly haste, a. though he were meanly and wicktdly glad to have the oppot! unity of hitting his dear teacher. He conducted bimsel. like a boy whoh s a painful duty to perfoim, but is impelled by const ien lions motives to pet form it thoroughly. He pulled tff hid j it diet ; he rolled up his eh eves ; he rpat on his ban I and tuok a two-hauded grasp on the switch. Twice he chung. d the posi tlou of his feet to get a better btat e. Then he drew a long deep breath, raised bis urm i, au ltho s vitcli j ist -hiieked thtough the uir like a inud, living thing. Old Mr. natgls, the senior director, who lives only a mile and a half away from the ßchoolhouse, says he was out in the Held plowing, and when Mr. Stoddard let off bis fitst yrll the old man's first impression was that the school house had been attuck by lighiuing. The clear bky. however, disproved this theory; and oeit time the teacher shouted, the director was conviuced that u steamboat had gone astiay, and was whistliug for a landing somewhere up the creek. While he wts tryiug to hold his frightened horses, unother volley of sound came sweeping over the land like a vocal e clone, and old Mr. Niteugale. who hud been deuf twenlythieo years, came running over, and said he believed they were lighting dowu at the quariios. By this time they were joined bj the rest of the neighbors, and the excited population went thronging on toward the schoolhouse. Iu accepting Mr. Stoddard's resiguaiion the directors considerately ullowed bis pay for the full term, and, iu a seiies of complimentary resolulious, Spoke of his efficiency in the highest terms, although it transpired that the board wus ptivately agreed, aft r all the facts had beeu laid be fore it, that he was too much of a 44 oat'ral-born fool" to suit a practical locality. Mr. Stoddard is not teaching anywhere this sumtntr. He told his landlady that he needed test, and that gool-hearted old investigating committee was amazed to discover that Mr. Stoddard rested, and even weut io bed, by leaning up, face foremost, agaiust the mantel-piece in his room.

Out in the Bala. There is a touching story of the famous Dr. Samuel Johnson, which has had an influence on many a boy who has heard it. Samuel's father, Michael Johnson, was a poor bookseller in Litchfield, England. Ou marketdays he used to carry a package of books to the village of Uttaxeter, and sell them from a stall in the marketplace. One day the bookseller was sfiek, and asked his son to go and sell the books In bis place. Samuel, from u silly pride, refused to obey. Fifty years afterward Johnson became the celebrated author, the compiler pf the English Dictionary, and one of the most distinguished si hoi ars in England, but he never forgot his act of unkindness toward his poor hard toiling father; so when he visited Uttoxeter. he determined to sho.v his sorrow and repentance. He went into the market place at the time of business, uncovered his heod, and stood-there for an hour in a pouring rain, on the very spot where the book-stall used to stand. M This," ho says, " was an act of contrition for my disobedience to my kind father." The spectacle of the great Dr. Johnson standing bareheaded in the storm to atone for the wrong done by him llftyytars before, is a grand and touching one. There is a represei.tn tionot it (in marble) on the Doctor's monument. Many a man iu after life has felt something harder aud heav ier than a slot m of rain beating upon his heart wheu he remembered his acts of unkinduess to a good father or mother now in their graves. Dr. John Todd, of Pittsficld, the eminent writer, never could forget how, when his old father wns v -i sick, and seut him away for medicine, he (a little lad) had been unwi ling to go, und made up a lie lhat "the druggist bud not got any such aid icine." The old man was j ist ding when little Juhuuy came in, aud said to him, ' My boy, jour father suffers great pniu lor want of that medicine.' Johnny started iu great distress for the imdiciue, but it was too lute. The father, ou his letuin, was ulmost gone. He could ouly say to the Weeping Lo : m LoVc God, and always speak tlie truth, for the eye of Ood is always upon you. Now kiss mo once moie, ami luit.wc 11." Through ail his after life Dr. Todd oflen had a heal lache over lhat act of falsehood und disobedience io his dviug father. It takes more than a shower of r.iiu lo w aak away the u.Linoty of such tins. Dr. Todd repented of thai sin a thousand times. The woids, "Honor thy lather aud thy mothei,' ineu". fuur thinga- al wuys do what tht-y bid you, always leli tbtm thy tiutli, always Heat them lovingly, and take care of ihem wheu ihey uie sick or giowu old. I never yet knew u boy who Uauipled ou tbe wishes of his parents who turned out well. God never b.esses a wilfully disobedient sou. Wheu Geo. Washington was sixteen years old he determined to leave home and be a midshipman iu tle Colonial navy. After he had sent t fl his ttuuk bu went iu lo bid bis mother good bye. She wept so b.tterly because he was going uway lhat he said to his ueuro servant, liriug my trunk back; 1 am not going io make my mother suffci so by my leaving bei." He remained at home to please his mother. This decision led to his beeomiug a sut vcyor, and ufterward a soldier. His whole glorious cateet in life turned on this one simple act of trying to make his mother happy. And happy, too, will Le the child who never bus occasion to shed bitter tears for auy act of unkiudness to his parents. Let us not forget that God has said, "Honor thy futher and th mother." Theodore L. Cuijler, in Youth Companion. The Colored Man's Reply. During the session of the Loui-i-ana constitutional convention, a colored delegate Darned Allain made a forcible speech iu opposition to a resolution abolishing Ihe Office of Superintendent of Public Institution. When he closed, a prominent ex-, slaveholder offered a resolution of derisiou, and asked that it be printed iu all the modafa languuges, etc. To this tl is the colored man responded iu the :ollowiug words: "Mr. Chairman, I wae formeily a slave. Theresuits of the war emarcipated me, uud simultaneously placed me under ihe ob igation of fitting myself to di.schurge the duties of citizenship. While the gentleman from Orleans was perfecting himself in ull these languages to wnich he refers, I was picking cotton. The years that I spent in picking cotton he devoted to his moral and intellectual improvement; yet I ibink I may be pardoned for saying that he might have put his varied accomplishments lo a moro credi'able use than in thus striving to ridicule and deride mein my efforts to promote an end I consider right and proper." Intelligent readeis will easily dctettnine which of the two is most entitled to credit and respect.

A (room Wh Had no Intention of Being MiirhttMl. Detroit Free Pres 1 There wae a marriage at the upper end or the Detroit, Lansing ft Northern road the other day. A great big chap, almost able to throw a cur-load of lumber eff the track, fell In love with a widow who was cooki; g for the hands in a saw mill, and after a week's acquaintance they were married. The boys around the mill lent William three aaJlea shirts, a drees coat and a pair of white pauts, and chipped in a purse of ubout 20, and the couple started for Detroit on a wedding tour wiihin an hour after being married. " This 'ere lady,"expluined William, as the conductor came along for tickets, " are my bride. Just spliced llfiysix minutes ago. Cost $2, but durn theco8tl She is a lily of the valley, Mary is, and I'm the light bower in a new pack of keerds, couduotur, salute the btidel" The conductor hesitated. The biide had freckles and wrinkles aud a turuup nose, and kissiug the biide was no gtutilkauon. " Conductor, sa lute the bride, or look out for tornadoes!" continued William, us he rose up and shed his coat. The conductor sa luted. It was tbe best tbiug he could do just then. " I uever did tl) to put on style before," muttei.-d Wittum, " but I'm bouud to see this thing thtough if I huve to fight all Michigan. These 'ere passengers has got to come to the chalk, they has." The car was full. William walked dowu the ai&lc, waved Ins hand to command attention, and said: " I've just beeu mai lied; over there sots the biide. Auybody who wants to sa-lute the bride kin uow do so. Anybody who don't want to do so will have QMUae to believe that a tree fell ou him." One by one the men walked up and kissed the widow, until only one was left. He was nIeep. William 1 1 acht d over andiilteii him into a sitting position at oue tujvemeut. and commanded : Ate ye goiti to dust over thar and kiss the bride?" " Biarst your bride, aud you, too," glow led the passeuger. Williuto drvw him over the back of the stal, dd 1 im down iu ihe aisle, lied his legs iu a knot, and was making a bundle of biui just of a size to go through the wiudow, when the mau caved and went over and saluted. " Now, then," said William, as ho put ou bis coul, " this bridal tower will be resuuied us usual, ami if Mary and me gil lo tquet-ziu' bauds or layin' beuds ou each otliei's shoulders, I shall demand who laughed about it, aud Til make him e-magine that I'm a hull boom full of the biggest kind of saw lugs, and more cumin' down ou the next lie.
