IN SCHOOL DAYS, 
Still Bits the scheel-house by the road, 
A ragged beggar sunning; 
Around It still the sumachs grow, 
And blackberry vines are running. 
Within, the master’s desk Is seen, 
Deep scarred by raps official; 
The warping floor, the battered seats, 
The Jack-knife’s curved Initial; 
The charcoal fresooos ou Its wall; 
Its door’s worn sill, betraying 
The feet that, creeping slow to school.

you understand, the names be lias given tis, 
wr must get up and turn around and then sit 
down. 
Thus, if lie says, “ The driver got up,” 
you must get up and turn around ; aud then 
be goes on—“ and looked at the hub of his 
wagon wheel”—why, there I, being hub, 
must get up and turn around; and if any 
one in the room happens to he called a wheel, 
that person must go through the same per¬ 
formance; and tv hen he tells about the 
tongue, then Johnny must respond in the 
same way. 
Ii you should not respond when he calls 
your name you must pay a forfeit. You see, 
therefore, that you must be on the lookout, 
and not get caught napping. When he says 
the stage tipped over, then ensues a general 
scramble, for we must all change seats. 
Every one must secure a new one. Of 
course the person who stood in the center 
will aim to secure a scut, and if lie gets one, , 
it is plain to see that some one must be left 
without, as there wore only scats enough for 
*‘il i he children but one at the commencement 
of the piny. The person left standing must 
take the place of the one who told tis about 
the stage, and see wluit sort of ii story he can 
get tip about the different parts of the coach , 
the harnm, grandma and her snuff-box, and 
grandpa aiul his rone. 
Be lively and keep on the alert, for ten

least you think of it. This is a very lively
