Could you amputate a button from the back of my coat and graft it onto this vest ?” A member of the school board of Philadelphia describes a unique school-house in northern Pennsylvania where the schoolmaster keeps his lx ys grinding steadily at their desks, but sometimes ixirmits them to nibble from their lunch boxes as they worked.

A fair young maid came tripping down the path, Her form was bent with years, Her eyes were full of laughter, And her face was full of tears; She recognized the dying man, And cried aloud, “’Tis Johnny;” He lifted up his headless corpse, And cried, “My God, it’s Olife.” —Exchange.
