have felt ashamed of that ever since, but you 
know a drowning man will catch at a straw,” 
and accordingly I dismissed school, that all 
might have an opportunity to attend the Circus. 
Alas me! in avoiding Scylla I had run upon 
Charybdis! Before bed-time a deputation of re¬ 
spectable citizens had assembled to investigate 
the matter of the Circus. Wen who had no 
scruples on their own account, could not permit 
such a breach of propriety and morality in a 
teacher, and poor I. who despised the Circus as 
heartily as any of them, was obliged- Well, 
no matter about the reBt of it. I am not aware 
that the events of that evening are anything to 
anybody. 
How many of my pupils went to the Circus, or 
how long their vacation lasted 1 never knew, but

ROWN’S BRONCHIA I- TROCHES. T 
The first week glided by. Much of my time 
had been spent in wearying attempts to adopt 
myself to my new position and to master the 
complicated machinery of the Institution. But 
the eeb< lars took all my blunders and perplexi¬ 
ties eo considerately that my gratitude overflowed, 
and on Friday night I returned them public 
thanks for thoir forbearance. Little did I dream 
that they, too, were taking observations, and 
that this seeming consideration was but the lull 
before the storm. 
Another week came and went, and things be¬ 
gan to look ominous. The imp of mischief 
seemed to have been suddenly developed in the 
smaller urchins, while the larger ones appeared 
bent on testing to the utmost the elasticity of my 
rules. 1 coaxed and threatened by turns, bat 
still forbore to use the rod. One little scamp 
whom I caught sticking wax into his neighbors 
hair, 1 tied to my desk; another who had 
been “making faces” at the girls was honored 
with an hour's occupation of the Ounce-block; 
and others still I kept after school and coaxed 
with cents and candy. But all In vain. Young 
America was not to be scared a second time by 
any threats of hiding or hanging, and the candy 
arrangement, by some freak of human nature, 
wrought the very opposite results from those I 
intended. Before the end of the third week, the 
foreign powers —the “big boys”—had agreed 
upon intervention, ami the prospect for a gene¬ 
ral time was decidedly promising. 
At this stage of the proceedings I saw fit to 
provide myself with a good-sized raw-liide and 
a formidable iron wood ferule. Armed with

EAFNESS, CATARRH 
AND DISEASES OF THE 
EYE, EAR, AND THROAT. 
BY ANNIE S. THOMPSON. 
The word u as borne on the evening breeze, 
Kind angels whispered it through the trees, 
And far away O'er the fairy seas, 
It floated silently. 
The word was borne on the battle plain, 
Where many brothers had fought in vain, 
And softly on through the misty rain, 
’ Twas whispered solemnly. 
In a noble cause a soldier lies, 
Struck down by the fatal ball that flies, 
And gently he veils his weary eyes, 
In tear dimmed agony. 
From quivering lips the sad, sad knell 
Comes, like the voice of a silvery’ bell, 
With tho well toned word, farewell, farewell, 
Death folds him tenderly. 
And far away to that heavenly land, 
Where ever -mgs an unbroken band, 
And the (lowers by angel wings are fanned, 
He’s soaring willingly. 
Death’s shadow reigns. Not a word is said, 
No sound is heard but the martlsl tread 
Of soldiers bearing away the dead, 
Gone to eternity.

isfaction to be able to inform you Uiat I am *till improving, 
and have the highest hopes that my ear will be entirely 
well by the time you at first mentioned It would take to 
effect a cure. I can say that J am truly thankful to the 
kind Providence which directed me to you- Since the first 
few days’use or your prescription, my ear has improved, 
and almost at once I was relieved from a very depressed 
state of feeling and an almost intolnrable case, to an elas¬ 
tic and hopeful state of mind. What Dr. John Nott re¬ 
plied to me as Ids experience has been mine eo far. My 
catarrhal trouble see run very much better also, and, in¬ 
deed. altogether, my health never was so good. I am 
weighing «ome five pounds more than is usual forme, (and 
more than 1 ever weighed before.) 
1 can but hope that tt may be the good fortune of many, 
with like troubles, to fall in the way of the benefit of your 
skill, and knowing how great the fear of imposition is with 
those who in time past, may. like myself, have suffered by 
it, and feeling a wish, sincerely at this time, to aid and 
commend you In establishing a high ami deserved position 
among us in your profession, I beg, therefore, that yon 
will not hesitate to refer to me, as st may he of use. I also

THE PERILS OF TEACHING; 
Oil, MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT PHILANTHROPY. 
As it is customary for au author to give a 
description of his hero, and as I am to be the 
hero of my own story, T may as well begin with 
a description of the personal appearance and 
social position of myself,—A ugustus Washing¬ 
ton Jenkins. 
If I may trust the veracity of a full length 
mirror, I am a rather fine-looking fellow, of 
about six and twenty, standing five feet ton and 
a half in iny boots, full-chested, arid straight as a 
poplar. My profile is Grecian; in fact i flatter 
myself that tho whole contour of my head is 
decidedly classical. In the matter of whiskers 
and mustache, I am, if I may credit the compli¬ 
ments of the ladles, not to be excelled. My 
father is a hanker, and lias spared no pains with 
my education and advantages. 1 got through 
College very well, actually winning an honor in 
my Junior year. Yet, everybody says I am a 
spoiled young man, and, between ourselves, I 
suppose it is pretty nearly true. A handsome 
face and a rich father have done the deed. 
I would not have you by any means infer from 
what I have said that I am a scamp or a loafer; 
1 have not energy enough to be the former, and 
hot being a quadruped I could never see any 
good reason why I should make myself the latter. 
But somehow I have a peculiar tact at being 
good for nothing. To dress well, to entertain 
the ladies, and to maintain the social status of 
the Jenkins family have thus far monopolized 
all my energies. For this I hold the “ root of all 
I make no manner of doubt,

just deserts were decided favorites with the 
Other side of the house, and suddenly 1 found 
myself in a hornet's nest. It would be impos¬ 
sible to enumerate the annoyances I had to 
endure, Ifigcnulty enough to have invented 
half a dozen sewing-machines was exercised in 
adding to Ihe vexations of my position. One 
day every young lady in school had a sudden 
attack of weak eyes; the next they were all as 
deaf as adders. Sometimes a whole class would 
be attacked with a sudden fit of coughing: at 
others they were too hoarse to speak aloud. 
Comic almanacs came to me through the post- 
office, clever caricatures Of myself appeared upon 
the black board; yet all these things were done 
under cover of the most reverent politeness, and 
a profusion of excuses and apologies. You can 
imagine how much comfort 1 took! Daily did I 
pass sentence upon myself as a miserable cow¬ 
ard, and as often did 1 resolve that if they were 
only boys they should receive a sound thrashing! 
But to strike a young lady—1 tvas not savage 
enough for that! 
While I was debating upon the course to pur¬ 
sue, the whole school caught a terrible cold. 
Such sneezing, and such variations of sueczlng! 
Basso, alto and soprano; rounds and fugue 
tunes; chords and discords; no professional 
amateurs ever gave a more wonderful perform¬ 
ance, or exhibited u more varied programme. 
An examination of the desks at night revealed 
the exciting cause of this extempore concert in 
tho shape of sundry packages of Scotch snuff! 
Things had now reached a crisis. I must either 
put a stop to the mischief or perish in the 
attempt. Accordingly, the next morning 1 lbr- 
bade, with all tho authority I could command, a 
repetition of any of the previous offences, add¬ 
ing that I would ferule severely the first trans¬ 
gressor. During the day all was quiet, but at 
night, as 1 gave the usual order for silence before 
calling the roll, my ears were greeted by a uni- 
followed by the variations of the

evil” responsible, 
but that had I the stimulus of poverty, i should 
find my capacities equal to a pretty stern. life- 
conflict; and good-for-nothing as I am, I am not 
so lost to all maoluies8 that I would let a 
widowed mother deny herself of comforts to 
supply me with pocket-money, or take the hard 
earnings of a gray-haired father, just on the 
verge of the grave, so long as I could earn or 
save a penny for myself. But, when a fellow has 
all he wants, what’s tho use of digging continu¬ 
ally for more. 
There was a period, or rather a little streak, in 
my life when another idea crept into my head. 
Somehow I became infected with a desire to do 
something in the world. My ambition was fired, 
and I searched history to find some character 
which I might make my model. A warrior 1 
could never be; statesmanship was more to my 
taste, but even though a Y ankee I had doubts as 
to whether 1 could serve my country acceptably. 
The professions were all good enough, but did 
not exactly anit my fancy, and at last I concluded 
that if ever I won my way to fame it must be as 
a philanthropist. 
While my fever wa6 at Us height I received a 
letter from an old chum, then teaching a sort of 
private Academy in the West. lie belonged to 
a family respectable enough, but u poor as Job's 
turkey,” and only by dint of hard labor and the 
most rigid economy, had he succeeded in getting 
through College, I gathered from his letter that 
the confinement of the school-room was telling 
upon a constitution naturally delicate, and 1 
knew enough of his circumstances to infer that 
he was dependent upon his position for support. 
Here was just what I wanted — the opportunity 
had presented itself, and I was not slow to seize 
upon it. A few days found me in the West, and 
by means which it is not necessary to relate, I at 
length succeeded in persuading my former chum 
to commit his family ot fifty pupils into my 
hands for a couple of months while he took a 
trip to the seashore. 
If the reader has never experienced the de¬ 
lightful sensations consequent upon the perform¬ 
ance of a magnanimous deed it will be useless 
for me to describe the state of mind with which 
I retired to my couch after the arrangements for 
the transfer were concluded. 
On the morrow I entered my new domain 
The first day was devoted mainly to taking ob¬ 
servations. I was not very agreeably surprised. 
I must confess, to find that the so-called Academy 
embraced all grades, from wee-bits of boys and 
girls, to full grown ladies and gentlemen. Still 
I was not daunted. The little boys I would 
frighten, the larger ones 1 would thrash into sub¬ 
mission; the little girls, I doubted not, might be 
coaxed and the larger ones fascinated into tracta- 
bility. Was there ever a more promising plan?

I have been much troubled with catarrh of the worst

ing cough and hoarseness, destroying the sense of smell, 
and breaking down my general health to such a degree as 
to compel me to resign my pastorate and suspend public 
speaking. 
I made diligent use of the usual remedies, such as snuffs 
of different kinds, nitr ate of silver, tar water, olive tar, and

I would have given a fortune lor a single avenue 
of escape, but escape was out of Ihe question, I 
was evidently iu for it, and the best I could do 
was to proceed. “ Y'ou will please stand upon 
the floor,” I ordered with a very perceptible 
quaver. 
She obeyed promptly. With sensations not 
to be described, I walked to the desk and took 
the heavy ferule from its resting place. Out¬ 
wardly 1 strove to appear calm, but within the 
tumult raged beyond control. Twice I essayed 
to. speak but the words, like Macbeth’s ‘-amen,” 
stuck in my throat. My couvage was fast oozing 
out at the tips of my fingers; but at last, with a 
face glowiog to the very roots of my hair, and 
stammering as badly as you did the first time 
you asked a girl for her company home, I man¬ 
aged to ask the young lady if she would give me 
her hand. Dropping her eyes, and blushing 
beautifully, the little minx replied that u she 
had no objections if her pa was willing. Would 
I be so good as to ask him?” 
I think I will not attempt to describe the scene 
that followed, I am pretty sure I didn’t swear, 
lor I am not given to that vice; in fact t cannot
