After the eTcninp aervice the boyo . pot together and talked it orcr, and deI cided to give the new teacher Just a ' I work. It liad been thawing lor a day I or two. and the boyi were tired ol akal- J ! iug. »o they thdugbt they oould afford to •pcnd a wi-ek in educating tliemsclvcs ' in how to break tip a school. That ' t evening we wrrrdrtlrelerted a member , of the clasr of hird cillxcna. and we a ere to ouch the ball and do something ; bad. get the trac.Vr to lick us. and thin the boys were to jump in and help, j Monday morning the achool commcnc- i r-J. and the teacher proved to be a sick- I ; I ly-Jooking. alim sort of fellow, a timid, ' nervous man, with a hand and face like | a girt. Every time he looked at one of j ! the boys there seemed to be an exprvs- | ' 1 ! slon on bis face as though he would say. | | j "1 hope yon will be good." When ho ■ had anything to ssy to the scholars he ■ | said please, and gave other evidences of j ' j being pretty aolL we all thoughL That j ■ j morning the weather changed, and it j I froxe hard, and at recess ihe boys got ' I together and said we would wind up ] I I the school before noon and go out on the II be bad di t ' m nnd right off. The big boys had to r carry in the wood and lay it quietly by the Jtove. Wo took in an armful and dropped it on the floor so that it shook - the budding and loosened the Storepipe. The pipe came out ol the chimney and . filled the room with smoke, but it was put back, and the slim teacher only rep11 rimMMed us. and said flint it must not a oecur*ngain. We just ached to go after ► some more wood, but there was no op- ■ portunity. Pretty soon the teacher said s we might go and get a pail of water, • nnd while at the well we decided to * stumble on entering the acliool-roam, ■ and spill the water all over tho floor, and thti« give the sickly-looking teach«r a chance to show what he was made gr

ot The teacher was near tho stove, and we stumbled, and the water went Wl all over everything, wetting his boots F; and making htm pretty mad! In picking him up wo hadn't noticed that his w eves were as black as coals, and that he th seemed to be about eight feet high, but a sabs looked at us ws oould see it plain- or ly. He seemed to read our thoughts, S< and knew that it was done on purpose, w and we havo always thought he heard dl boys talking it over at recess. Any- dc way. he jumped clear across tho room, st grabbed us by the neck, and sat 1 us ar down in the water; then he lifted us up in and shook us so our teeth rattled, then di ho seemed to grab us all over end just tc maul us. er We got a chance once or twice to look jo around to tho back seaLs. as he was re- ai voicing us around on our own axis, to st if the other boys were coming to help til us put him out doors, but they were the si most studious lot of boys we ever saw. Ol Thev had their heads down in their to books, and their lips were moving in si- } • lent praver- A1tfr the teacher had mop- lo pod the floor with us. be took usby the gi slack of the pants just aa a dog would carry a duck, and went to his desk and got a big hlckorv ruler, and proceeded to dry our pants." Well, it was the mean- tr est way lo drv pants that ever was. and ol while it dricl fbeiu well enough, it left ni great ridges inside of thcin that made a tr corrugated chair a necessity. The boys Li did ntd fulfill thoirpart of the programme d< and when the teacher got through dry- vi tug our pants and said, "Please return m vonr scat," wo felt aa though his po- ui litene-.i was m perfect sham. We looked b: the boys as we went to our seat, but p never looked up. We have wit- st nesscd contested seats in the Ixgislatnre tl since, but never saw one that was as bs-. g citing as that one in the old while school n house at the foot of the Till- The teach- it never spoke during the proceedings, g ant^syiien it was over ho looked even paler and more sickly than when ha had tl wLrte we are now bald, while the other waaat work in the vineyard.

Neither is tlie third man. who goes bis rounds as a sort i of moral label iorpcctor. in order to see whether you wear this or that society's : declaring that ir you do, jin are all right, and if not, that you must be all ' wrong.

Dear H ove . —This house Is healed In sight of your city, tad lour ami a half miles south of Cape lfenlopen light, on tame leach Wc face the Atlantic with only a beach drive, similar to between us and the sea. Onr surf and bathing is Just like youra, tbc only difference I perceive being that at timoa we have the sea more quiet than you ever but it can be exceedingly rough, as it convinced us lss( week, breaking in huge on the beach, and the sea high and everywhere in view. A drift yawl in the hollows until the tnrf took U and dashed lt in fragments on the beach. It must have been old and tender, but we watched tlie sea buffet it many hours beit struck the shore quite close to lieulopcn. Its history is a mystery. One of our amu-emcnts Is viewing the capture of flub by the bald eaglet from the hawks (osprcy). Tbc-lstter dart lie- | ncath lite wives from sixty feet or more in the air, awl fastening Utrir talons in a or trout, or bony they rise with Ibc/lruggT -g victim, and make a straight : line for their nest and young. Tbe eagles are prrcbed along tlie beach on tbe sands stakes, and rise and chase the hawk, wbo tries hard Ao escape, but falling to do so drops the Gsb which is caught by tbc eagle before It reaches the water or land beneath. This morning four eagles were perched along tbe beach awaiting breakfast. With a spyglass we oould see them plainly, all being within a mile of us. Tlie feather* on tbe bead and neck are white, giving tbem, no doubt, their . name of bald eagle. They are not ns clean-looking oraynmet | fical a bird as the hawk they persecute, ' but they are stronger, swifter in flight, ' and inure graceful on the wing. Tbey are mid to measure six feet across tbc wings. There are but two htXcls in Keboboth Association bounds, the Bright House and Hcnlopen, tbe only other being tbe Douglass House, a mile south of the boundary lines. Tb!« later has a bar, which adjunct to a hotel 1s not allowed within llehoboth's lines. It arts originally a reIgious camp meeting association, and started in p. beautiful grove of oaks a mile from the beach, but that feature baa been 1 discontinued, and It hat lost many of the' i restrictions which camp managemept exacted when in force. It is likely to coo- > 'tlnoe the total slwtioeoce clsnse of its ' charter. About fifty handsome cottages - are clustered here, owned by Baltimore i and Wilmington dllzena, and occupied i by them in summer. J. McMakix. [ A Losson In Politeness.
