His smack had gone down in darkness and tempest, and so had he.— Morning, noon and night she paced the beach for some memento of him. She saw the shining sands stre cii far away. She watc ed the sea birds come and go. She heard the legend of the waves, and that was all. Ami yet it wasn't- One golden ere, with heaving breast and starling eye balls, she espied a bottle dancing toward her on the billows. It came within her reach, r-he clutched it eagerly, chewed out the cork, put the muzzle to her mouth, found not a drop of whisky in it, and drop ped like a lifeless lump upon the shore.— And so they found i.er, wjrking the sand with her toes.

Though the statement w ill doubt .ess he received by many a juvenile reader in the light of a “ se f-evident proposition,” there may yet remain a few parents a id rural pedagogues to whom the reasons for the abolition of this form of rebuke may be of interest. “We have seen,” writes Profes sor Hinton, “ liai the passage of the ear is closed liy a thin membrane, espe -ial y adapted to be iiitluenced by every impiti e of the air, and with nothing but the air 'o support it internally. Wlu.t, then, can be more likely to injure this metnb ane h i., a sudden and forcible compression of the air in front of it '? If aiy one designed to break or overstretch the membrane, lie could scarce y devise a more effective means than io bting the hand suddenly and fitrciljj down upon the passage of tlie e ir, thus driving tlie air violently before it, with no possibility for Its escape but bv the mem brane giving way.” So reasonable ait these conclusions that there was not needed even the high authority of the writer f> r tlie subsequent statement that “ tu riy chil dren are made deaf by boxes on the ear.’ It is unfortunate, however, that this and many other rebukes of the same order pre cede the reason, a id hence a safer geueia! order might be issued to the intent that no child should ever receive any form of cor poral punishment until tlie parent or pre rep-or has stopped to reason—first with the chi and, and then with himself. mm > ♦ A privileged .Hcinher. he Washington correspondent of the New York 1 ndepcridetit tell* the following story : •‘A gem lonian on a visit here, arid anxious to listen to the debates, open ed. very coolly, one of the doors to the Senate, and was about to pass in when the door-keep r asked : •‘Are you a pr vileged member?' 1 “What do you mean by such a man?’ asked the stranger.
