MY SCHOOLROOM.
I have closed my books and hidden my slate
And thrown my satchel across the gate,
My school is out for a season of rest,
And now for the schoolroom I love the best.
My schoolroom lies on the meadow wide,
Where under the clover the sunbeams hide,
Where the long vines cling to the mossy bare
And the daisies twinkle like fallen stars,
Where clusters of buttercups gild the scene
Like showers of gold dust thrown over the
green,
And the wind’s flying footsteps are traced, as
they pass.
By the dance of the sorrel and dip of the grass.
My lessons are written in clouds and trees,
And no one whispers except the breeze.
Who sometimes blows from a secret place
A stray, sweet blossom against my face.
My school bell rings in the rippling stream,
Which hides itself, like a schoolboy's dream,
Under the shadow and out of sight,
But laughing still for its own delight.
My schoolmates there are the birds and bees
And the saucy squirrel, more dull than these,
For he only learns, in all the weeks,
How many chestnuts will fill his cheeks.
My teacher is patient, and never yet
A lesson of hers did I once forget,
For wonderful lore do her lips impart,
And all her lessons are learned by heart.
Oh, come; oh, come, or we shall be late,
And autumn will fasten the golden gate!
—Katherine Lee Bates in American Agricul
turist.
Cheerfulness as a Duty.
How many who read these lines
really consider it a duty, says The
Youth’s Advocate, to be always
cheerful ? There may be occasions
when it is very difficult to maintain
an even temper and make others feel
the uplift a bright and joyous heart
always sends forth, but every duty
is sometimes hard to perform. For
the sake of oneself it is always a
duty to be cheerful. Melancholy is
a mild form of suicide. It wears upon
the nerves and tends to break down
the whole physical man. It disfigures
the face with ugly wrinkles and
sours the heart with unpleasant
broodings. The cheerful soul light
ens life on earth and greatly increas
es the pleasure of its own existence.
For the sake of others every one
should be cheerful and joyous under
all circumstances. It is a pleasure
to be associated with a person who
has a bright and happy disposition.
No one can long retain friends and
constantly burden them with a wail
about his woes. People soon learn
to shun a whimpering, complaining
person as a bother and a nuisance.
Everybody wants the companion
ship of a cheerful spirit and a pure
heart. Children should be taught
the value of such a spirit to them
selves and everybody else from early
childhood and carefully trained in
the best way of preserving an even
temper and always maintaining a
cheerful spirit.
The Horrible and Grotesque.
Not a few of the scenes a clergy
man is called upon to witness are
both grotesque and terrible. An old
man had been ill for months, but
clung to life with that wonderful
pertinacity which is so common
with old people. He was, of course,
a great burden to his two daughters,
who had to nurse him and at the
same time earn their own bread.
One day, on being asked how the
old man was, one of the daughters,
even while she stood by the bed,
announced: “ ’E’s just the same; ’e
is such a time a-dyin. I wish 'e’d
’urry up a bit; it’s s’ awk’ard forme
and my sister, with our other work
to do.” It was terrible enough to
see natural feeling all but destroyed
by poverty, but there was some
thing truly awful in the scene when
the old man gasped over from his
bed: “lam a-making’aste ain’t I?
I’ve got no call for to live.’’-—Corn
hill Mao'asrine
Two sons of Erin shared the same bed
as well as the same bottle of whiskey.
Pat waited till he found Mike slept,
when he quietly arose and emptied the
bottle. Soon after, Mike, waking, stole
out of bed and groping about in the dark,
was asked by his companion:
“Phwat are yez looking fer, Mike?”
“Oh, nothin !” says Mike.
“Well, Mike,” says Pat, “ye’ll foind it
over there in the corner in the bottle.”
Regularly at election times there ap
pear in the Northern newspapers funny
stories about certain voters in the back
woods of Georgia, who have not yet got
through voting for Andrew Jackson.
These are funny stories merely, and
serve their purpose of creating a smile in
serious times. It occurs, however, that
in the state of Pennsylvania, Lancaster
county, a short time ago the voters
actually went to the polls and voted for
a dead man for the office of tax assessor.
The case is now before the courts, upon
an application for an amendment of the
returns.
Here is a pointer for commercial
travelers. An odd tombstone has been
placed in a cemetery in Lincoln, Neb.
It marks the grave of James Jacobs, a
butcher, who died in 1891. The deceased
was of a roving disposition, so his father
bad a valise modeled in marble and
placed on the grave. The inscription, in
addition to the name, date of birth and
death, is “Here is where be stopped
last.”
About 4,000,000 false teeth are manu
factured annually in the United States,
while one ton of gold and three tons of
silver and platinum, to the value of

A Pioneer Woman’s Heroism In a Battle
With the Indians.
Cote Sanddessein, Callaway coun
ty, Mo., is an unpretentious little
town of half a dozen houses, a black
smith shop and a general merchan
dise store. Its surroundings are
peaceful and far from what they
once were. The town occupies a
great hill overlooking the Missouri
river. Nearly 90 years ago it was
built as a fort, and it was once the
scene of probably as heroic a little
struggle as ever occurred in Mis
souri.
Some years after the fort had
been built, probably during the
progress of the war of 1812, Baptiste
Roi, an old Frenchman, and his
wife and four hunters occupied the
fort, and they w*ere besieged by
more than 200 Osage Indians. It
seems the Indians knew of the des
perate straits in which Roi and his
companions were placed, and they
assaulted the fort with great fierce
ness.
The men were Indian fighters,
and fortunately their assailants
were not armed with rifles, and Roi
and the hunters used their guns
with such rapidity and effect that
they soon drove the Indians back to
the woods. The fort had been built
expressly to resist such assaults, but
unfortunately the inmates were
compelled to depend upon the river
for their water supply, and the In
dians suspected as much, for they
kept a sharp watch on the river
with a part of their numbers, while
the remainder endeavored to set fire
to the fortress. There was a small
supply of water in the fort, and sos
tw.o days and nights the whites pre
served theii’ stronghold intact.
The Indians became exasperated
at the stubborn resistance of the
handful of whites, and they tried a
general rush with a view of setting
tire to the tort. In this latter under
taking they succeeded, but it cost
them dearly, for - while they were
applying the torch the rifles of
the w’hites were busy, and soon the
Indians were driven back to cover
and the tire was presently extin
guished. Then the performance was
repeated several times and until
every drop of water the whites had
was exhausted and the fort was
again on tire.
Old man Roi and the men then
gave up in despair and prepared to
sell their lives as dearly as possible.
Meantime the former’s wife was
busy hunting among her milk crocks
and in an old churn, and she man
aged to raise enough sour milk to
extinguish the flames, and while she
, was doing ,so the men kept the In
dians at a safe distance with theii
rifles.
Strange as it may seem, the In
dians were so disheartened at this
critical stage in the defense of the
fort that they withdrew, carrying
their dead and wounded with them.
No one in the fort was injured.
News had reached St. Louis that
a large body of Indians had at
tacked Cote Sanddessein and of the
desperate and successful resistance
made by the brave inmates. The
St. Louis people presented Roi with
a tine rifle, inlaid with gold and sil
ver and suitably inscribed, and his
brave old wife, who really saved the
fort, was suitably rewarded with a
handsome present.
Cote Sanddessein is not much
larger now than it was when old
Baptiste Roi and his party fought
the Usages, and many stirring
scenes were enacted there while the
Indians strove with the whites for
possession of the country, but none
was deemed more deserving of
praise, even in those days, when
bloody encounters between the
whites and the red men were com
mon, than the defense made by old
Baptiste Roi. It was known that he
and his party killed a large number
of Indians, for they were all expert
marksmen and used to such encoun
ters.—St. Louis Republic.

NUMBER 12.
COLLOQUIALISMS.
Americana Not Guilty of the Charge oi
Corrupting the language.
Are we Americans “corrupting”
the English undefiled of London?
Not long ago I heard an Englishman
state that over here they quite often
say “pants” for “trousers.” I told
him he was wrong and that the word
was only applied to articles of un
derwear. Still I would have been
just as decided on the subject of
“vest” for “waistcoat.” And yet
only recently I received from a Lon
don tailor a bill on which the word
“vest” was distinctly written. In
reality “waistcoat” is an incorrect
word as used here, since the gar
ment is not a coat for the waist at
all and does not in the faintest de
gree resemble one. The English are
intensely fond of the word “lovely. ”
They use it on all occasions. The
habit seems even to be growing upon
them. They tell you of a lovely
sunset, a lovely horse, a lovely game
of golf, a lovely cross country ride,
a lovely nosegay. Their “quite so”
always diverts me. As a rule, it is
so entertainingly incorrect. An
American will say, for example, “I
had just got into town, 1 had not
been able to dine on the train, and 1
was almost ready to snatch their
bags of provender from the noses of
the cab horses at the station.”
“Quite so,” smiles the Englishman.
You say, “Imagine my displeasure,
my disgust at such an occurrence.”
“Quite so,” you are sympathetical
ly answered. “Cravat” is a word
you seldom meet with in England.
It is invariably “tie.” a word which
has slight authority to exist at all in
the shape of a noun, and one which
w’e almost solely use in connection
with matters of sport. “Fancy” is
a charming popular English phrase.
You love to hear it from the lips of
a pretty woman, though you hear
it from all sorts of lips. It is the
equivalent of our “Just think!” and
is much more graceful. Os course
this question of international ver
balism is an endless one.
Our hideous “I guess” you never
hear, but “I expect” is often used
wrongly, as “I expect you didn’t en
joy yourself yesterday,” etc.
“Sick,” of course, is hardly under
stood here as anything but “nause
ated, ” though it is a good old Shakes
pearean word and one of much sol
ider claim than “ill.” Our “drug
store” is unknown to British ear or
eye. Both prefer “chemist” and
with far better taste. Still, why
they have abandoned “apothecary”
I cannot see. Is it not, after all, an
apter word than “chemist” in this
sense? We speak of the great Fara
day as “a chemist.” Tuere is an
“American shoe store,” rather
flauntingly set forth as such, in Re
gent street, but this is obviously in
tended to attract the tourist. “Store”
for “shop” is as much discounte
nanced as “elevator” for “lift. ” The
American habit of calling a maga
zine of commerce a “store” cannot
be defended, but “elevator” is a
much more sensible term than
“lift,” which is almost classible un
der the head of slang. If you asked
an Englishman which depot would
be the best wherefrom to take the
train for Brighton, you would run
the risk of not being understood.
Why we call a railway station a
“depot” is hard to explain. It is not
taken from the French in this con
nection, since “gate” is invariably
employed throughout France, and
depot has no such definition. And
so the colloquial vocabulary of our
English and of England’s English
has twisted itself'wrong or kept it
self right in either country. Alto
gether aliout an equal number of
faults and inaccuracies exist on ei
ther side. The instant we feel our
selves entitled to blame them they
can seize upon a logical pretext for
blaming us. They speak the lan
guage far more musically and en
gagingly than we do, but we both
speak it with about the same ran
dom disregard.—Collier’s Weekly.

Mrs. Newrich—l never can re
member how many cards to leave
when calling.
Old Gentleman—The rules are
very simple, madam. You hand one
to the servant, and then, on depart
ing, leave as many on the plate as
there are adult members of the fam
ily, adding two of your husband’s
cards, and occasionally dumping in
a few more for good measure. Do
not be niggardly in dealing out
cards, as that suggests vulgar pov
erty.

Onr Languafe.
An intelligent foreigner is said to
have expressed himself after the
following fashion on the absurdities
of the English language: “When I
I discovered that if I was quick I was
fast, if I stood firm I was fast, if I
spent too freely I was fast, and
that not to eat was to fast, I was
discouraged, but when I came across
the sentence, ‘The first one won one
Isl prize,’l was tempted to give up
! English and learn some other lan
■ guage. ” —Exchange.
