Brooklyn, NT. Y. “The Exponent,” Normal School. Plattev'lle, Wis. SUGGESTIVE. If you have anybody working for you and they lie down on their job, lon’t fire them at once—just call them in and tell this story: Down in Virginia a farmer had an ox and a mule that he hitched together •o a plow. One night, after several days of continuous plowing, and after the •x and the mule had been stabled and provendercd for the night, the ox sa d to the mule: “We’ve been working pretty hard, let’s play off sick tomorrow and lie iiere in the stalls all day.” “You can if you want to,” said the mule, “but I believe I’ll go to work. So the next morning when the farmer came out the ox played off sick, i’he farmer bedded him down with clean straw, gave him fresh hay, a bucket . .f oats and bran mixed, left him for the day and went forth with the mule . lone to plow. All that day the ox lay in his stall, chewed his cud and nodded, slowly 1 linked his eyes and gently swished his tail. That night, when the mule came in. the ox asked how they got along plowing alone all day. “Well,” said the mule, “it was hard and we didn’t get much done, ;:id---” “Did the old man have anything to say about me? interrupted the ox. “No,” replied the mule. “Well, then,” went on the ox. “I believe I'll play off again tomorrow; it was certainly fine lying here all day and resting.” “That’s up to you,” said the mule, “but I’ll go out and plow.” So the next day the ox played off again, was bedded down with clean raw, provendered with hay, bran and oats, and lay all day nodding, blinking, . hewing his cud and gently swishing his tail. When the mule came in at night the ox asked again how they had gotten : ' ng without him. “About the same as yesterday,” replied the mule, coldly. “Did the old man have anything to say to you about me?” again interrupted the ox. No,” replied the mule, “not to me, but he did have a long talk with the ’ itcher on the way home.”—Ex.

After the examination the master, a little doubtful, asked the lad: “Who helped you with this map, James?” “Nobody, sir.” “Come, now% tell me the truth. Didn’t your brother help you? “No, sir; he did it all.” A Natural Difficulty.
