Morris-Feild -Rogers-Co LISTOWEL. His Awful Mistake. Oapt.Wm. Barton, of the ship King- fisher, had but one great fault, a vio- lent temper. • His young wife Mabel, who had accompanied him for a voyage to Java, often begged him to control himself, declaring that such a temper would lead him to the perpetration of some deed he would bitterly renent of. Not that he was ever otherwise than kind or gentle to her. It was against his men that he sometimes became en- raged. They all liked him, notwith- standing, for, except when they made some blunder, he treated them like brothers. Her own brother, Jack Wilton, a youth of 19, was cabin boy. His rela- tion to Mabel, however, did not pre- vent his sometimes being the object of the captain's wrath. One evening, on an occasion when Jack was slightly ill, he stumbled against a bucketful of tar, spilling the latter over the deck. "Confound you, youngster !" roared the skipper. "I'll make you .stand on the lookout four hours to -night for your awkwardness." Mrs Barton pleaded with him. She had sat ' up nearly all the previous night nursing her brother, and she was sure he had not slept ten minutes dur- ing that time. It would therefore be cruel to make the poor boy, who was not quite well, remain awake so long. But he now resisted all her appeals, and at dark made little Jack get into the long boat and there seat himself to keep a look out. "And mind that you keep a good one," said he. "1; on't let me catch you dozing." "Have you put Jack on the lookout?" inquired his wife, when he joined her in the cabin. She nestled in his arms, coaxed him add pleaded with him about Jack, but in vain. Then she became very still and thoughtful. All at once a singular expression flashed into her dark eyes. A few minutes later the captain re- tired to his apartment, adjoining that of his wife. He soon fell asleep, but awoke three hours later and went on deck. The captain kooked leeward, but through the gloom he. could see -noth- ing of are island the ship had -been ap- proaching when he went below. On making inquiries of the officer of the deck, however, he learned that the is- land, one of the Fiji group, bore about a mile off the lee quarter. He now walked toward the long boat, in which he had stationed Jack Wilton to keep a lookout. 'If I find him vigilant and wakeful, I'll let him have his watch below, he muttered gently, the dark eyes of his wife haunting his mind. "Hullo I He is asleep!" added the skipper, as he approached the form seated in the bout. In fact, the head of the "lookout" was bowed, and the deep breathing that saluted the captain was indicative of profound slumber. Barton's quick temper was at once aroused. He sprang towards the dimly revealed form in the boat, climbed into the vessel and rushed at the sleeper,.. intending to seize him- by the shoulder and give him a merciless shaking. But at that moment the ship plunged heavily, and in his haste the captain caught his foot against the boat mast, rolhng it half out of the craft, and fall- ing almost prostrate in the boat. As be fell, his outstretched hand struck violently against the back of the slum- berer, who, thus pushed over the gun- wale, struck against the mast which at once dropped into the sea. The young look -out went with it, pitching head foremost into the dark waters. "Man overboard I" shrieked the cap- tain in dismay, as he staggered to his feet. "Lively there; back the m in - yard and down with the boat !" he a 1d - ed, leading to the deck. But 3ust then a loud buzzing noise was heard. Struck by a sudden, ter- rific gale, the ship went over on her beam ends and tore through the waters; with the spray sweeping her fore and aft. An attempt was made to lower the boat, but it was dashed to fragments against the ship's sides. "Lost 1 'The boy is lost I" groaned the captain. •'What will she say when she hears of it—that I pushed her bro- ther overboard ?" Hours passed and he walked the deck like a madman. By this time the storm had abated. "I cannot tell Mabel—I cannot wake her yet! She will learn the dreadful truth soon enough 1" muttered the wretched man. Not long after, the dim light of com- iidg dawn struggled through the gloom. A solemn look rested on the faces of the sailors. Eery eye was turned ,toward the miserable captain. All at once from the steerage emerg- •ed atslender youth. The captain stared aghast. Then he started back with a terrible cry. It was Jack Wilton. "What does this mean ? Speak, speak I" he gasped, "I pushed you out of the long boat into the sea, and here—" "What ? Oh, Mr Barton What 1" interrupted the youth, turning as pale .as death. "You don't mean—I—I. No, it was not I. My sister came and :said she would take my place. She in - Children Cry for ,PitcCastoria. silted, and putting on, my hat and cloak, so that no person might guess it was she, sat down in the boat and sent me below to sleep. You do not mean it I" "What have I done ?" screamed the miserable man almost frantic. "I see it now! It was my own wife I pushed overboard P' He leaned against the rail for sup - part, He wrung his hands and tore his hair. But, at length the captain became calmer, although his face was as ghast- ly as that of the dead. He reversed the ship and retraced his course toward the island. When within a mile of it he ordered a boat to be lowered. He had manned it and was pulled to the beach. A group of wild islandors stood there. "I want my wife !" cried the captain. "Wife 1 What mean?" inquired one of the savages,who.could speak a little English. "She fell overboard last night, but she is a good swimmer, and I th'nk she must havelreached the beach," said the skipper confidently. "She is here. I am sure of it!" insisted the captain, "Mad ! mad!" muttered the mate, who had accompanied him. All that day the skipper searched about the island for his wife, but no sign of her could be found. The mo- ment he reached the ship Barton was stricken down with a raging fever. When he recovered he was a mere wreck of his former self; but his mind had recovered from the shock it had received. He could now talk in a ra- tional manner about his wife. "She is lost Lost ! Brit I will soon join her," he said mournfully. "I am not long for this world." In due time the sip reached Java, the port of her destination. The vessel was not long anchored when the skip- per went below and took from a pantry some prussic acid, with which he in- tended to put an end to his wretched life. He was about raising it to his lips when a light form descended the com- panion steps. He turned, still holding the cup, to behold a most unexpecte vision. For a moment he stared wildly, as if looking at a ghost. It was his wife, his own beautiful wife, he saw before kiln ! A wild cry escaped him, and the two rushed iuto each other's arms. Then from the deck there rose a cheer that seemed to split the very skies. The crew had seen Mrs Barton when she carne aboard from a shore boat. Explanations were soon made by the happy wife. The mom ant she struck the water on that night when she fell overboard she woke, and instinctively throwing out her arms she had touched the boat mast which had fallen with her. To this mast she clung. Her skill as a swimmer assisted her in keeping her position. She was carried past the island. Ahead of her, approaching, she beheld a small schooner. It passed so near her that by shouting she attracted the attention of the crew. A boat was lowered and she was picked up half senseless. As soon as she could speak she told her story. But she could not make herself un- derstood by the wild crew. who were natives of some neighboring island, and didnot understand a word of Eng- lish. .At dawn she looked about her, but owing to the intervening headland she could not see her husband's ship. The schooner kept on, and in a ken days arrived at Henn ell's island. There, to Mrs Barton's joy, she found a small steamer bound for Java. She took passage aboard of it, and thus arrived at that port forty-eight hours before her husband. A happy day for the captain. For Jack Wilton, too, who again and again embraced his noble sisters. From that hour Barton was never known to give way to hasty temper, ALL MEN Young, old or middle-aged, who find them- selves nervous, weak and exhausted, .who are broken down from ostoese or over -worn, resulting in many of the following symp- toms :—Mental depression, premature old age, loss of vitality,°lose o1 memory, bad dreams, dimness of sight, palpitation of the heart, emissions, lack of energy, pain in the kidneys, headache, pimples on the face and body, itching or peonlier senet.tion about the scrotum, wasting of the organs, dizzi- ness, specks before the eyes, twitching of the muscles, eyelids and elsewhere, bash- fulness, deposits in the urine, loss of will power, tenderness of the scalp and spine, weak and flabby muscles, desire to sleep, failure to be rested by eleep, constipation, tidiness of hearing, loss voice, desire for solitude, excitability of temper, sunken eyes, surrounded with LP.ADEN OIBCLE9, oily looking skin, etc., are all symptoms of ner- vous debility, that lead to insanity, unless onrod.

Joseph Sier had been told by a women who had the reputation of a witch that the eye torn from the dead body of a child on Good Friday at midnight would enable him to make himself in- visible at will. Sier went to the Heu- maden cemetery at midnight and work- ed like mad opening graves until he found the body of a little girl which had been buried but two days. He carried it in the coffin to a mea low, took out the left eye and then th. ew body and covin into a brook. The discovery of the body caused intense excitement throughout the district. Sier was not suspected of the crime, until woman in overhauling his house, found a child's shroud and pillow. Sier was sentenced to fourteen months imprisonment with hard Iabor. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage has sailed from San Francisco for Honolulu. Jack Wright, who mysteriously dis- appeared from Woodstock some months ago, has turned up in St. Thomas. Gen.

Wren, of Heneall, 000upied the chair. There were 52 teachers present. The following were appointed a Resolu- tion Committee:—Messrs Strang, T. A. Brown, G, M. Kilty, Misses Blair and Mo• Math. Inspector Tom moved, seconded by T. A. Brown, that a time be set apart during the sessions of this meeting of the Institute, for the consideration and discussion of questions by teaohers, and that a committee be appointed to answer questions deposited with the Secretary. The motion was adopted, and Messrs G. Baird, T. A. 1110 - Laughlin and Miss Gregory were appointed a committee to oarry out the foregoing resolution. Mr G. M. Kilty then proceeded to discuss his method of teaching "Decimals," and by blaokboard illustrations made this subjeot very interesting and instrnotive. Measre Latta, Tom, Strang, Hogarth, Johnston, Bair and Wren farther oontinned the die - envelop. All complimented Mr Kilty on the manner in whioh he dealt with the subjeot. On motion of G.V. Holman, seconded by S. J. Latta, that the subjects on the pro• gram, the persona responsible for which were not present, be placed down in the order of business. The motion carried. At this stage of the proceedings a depu- tation from the Exeter Public School Board, nonaisting of Messrs Huston, Fitton, Car- ling and Frayne, entered the room. Messrs Huston and Fitton, on behalf of the Board,weloomed the teachers to Exeter, and in the course of their remarks threw out some very practical suggestions tending to the better working of our sobool system. The welcome was responded to on behalf of the Association by Messrs Wren, Tom, Strang, Baird and Holman, all thanking the Board for their sympathy in the teach- ers' work and the hearty welcome extended. AFTERNOON SESSION. Qtr G. Baird proceeded with the discus- sion of his method of teaching elementary algebra for Pnblio School Leaving Exami- nation work. Miss C. Vosper, of the Exeter Public School, took up the literature of "Resigna- tion." A olase of girls from the Pnblio School was present and lent interest to the lesson, and both teacher and pupils showed that they had a pretty thorough grasp of the meaning of the text of the poem, which is considered one of Longfellow's gems. • Inspector Tom took up the lesson with the same class, and asked several questions, which were readily answered by the class. Messrs Delgaty, T. A. Brown, Holman, Strang, Regan, Wren and MoPhereon took part in the discussion. The teaching and subsequent disondsion of this subjeot proved very instructive. Mr T. A. Brown discussed "Physiology for Entrance." Mr Brown explained fully and plainly the reasons for teaching this important branch of study, and gave valu- able hints for teaching it. Messrs Holman, McLaughlin, Tom and Johnston farther discussed the enbject. The idea of teach • ing the subject because et its practical value and teaching it thoroughly, was fully im- pressed. "Time tables in ungraded schools" was the next matter coming before the Associa- tion, and was introduced by Mr J. S. Del- gaty. He was opposed to time tables, on account of their instability, or being. con- tinually subjeot to ohange. The discussion was carried on by Messrs Wren, Regan, Strang, Tom, Holman, Johnson, Misses Blair and Morrison, the general opinion prevailing that there should be a time table, and that each teacher should adhere to it as nearly as possible, ooneistent with good effective teaching.' Mr G. Baird offered to hand over to the association the sum of $3, • being balance left in his hands by the Verna Teachers' Institute r:t ite dissolution. . The offer of Mr Baird was accepted. EVENi5t6. In the evening an entertainment was given in Drew's opera house. Revs. Hunt, Jackson, Martin and Dr. Rollins delivered addresses. A splendid musical program was carried out by the Davidson orchestra and len Hunt, plisses Davidson and Gill and Megan Collins and Brown, fail of whom acquitted themselves creditably, and elioit- od enthusiastic applause. a tzeausa. The Association met at 9.10 a.m. The hearty thank° of the Aeaooiabion were ten- dered to all those who had taken part in the entertainment of the previous evening. Mr J. T. Wren gave a report of the pro- ceedings of the recent O. P. T. A. His re- port was well received, and was adopted, and the expenses of the delegate ordered to be paid. Miss H. E.Walrond, of the Exeter Pnblio School, took up "Word Recognition." A email class was present, which made the lesson very interesting and instructive. At the conclusion of this work, Miss Wal- rond, with another class, exemplified her method of teaching addition and subtrac- tion. The class was well conducted, and both lessons reflected credit on teacher and classes. The dismission was continued by Messrs MoPhereon, Ingram, Ross and Tom. "Observation and busy work, multiplica- tion and division" was taken up by Mies Watson, of Goderich. A small class was present, by means of which Mies Watson illustrated her method practically. She ehowed by the manner in which she dealt with the subjeot, that be was thoroughly alive to her work. The discussion was further continued by Inspector Tom. Mr H. I. Strang, B.A., diooussed at some length the valve of analysis and parsing, impressing upon all the importance of vigil- ance in preventing careless habits in this work. The teachers of West Huron owe very much to Mr Strang for the -time he has at these different meetings devoted to giving instructions in this branch of educa- tion. A printed extract on the program was gone into fully by Mr Strang, and much valuable information on analysis and parsing gleaned by the teachers. The Resolution Committee's report was presented, which, after discussion of the same clause by olause, was adopted as fol- lows :- 1." That it is the opinion of the Associa- tion that the entrance examination should remain as it is at present, and that a oopy of this resolntion be sent to the Edncation Department. 2. That the Exeontive Committee of this Association be requested to allow in future a reasonable portion of time at each meeting for the discussion of general sub - jean not specified on the program. 3. That we as an Association deeply re- • gret the unpleasant occurrence that dis- turbed the harmony of the proceedings at last evening's entertainment, but at the same time, to prevent any misunderstand- ing of our views, we declare that the teaoh- ers of the Inspectorate of West Huron have no sympathy with any opinions or dog- mas opposed to the teachings of the Bible. 5. That it would be a benefit to the teaohere of this Inspectorate if Promotion Children Cry for Pitchers Castoria. ,Tnn.e 2. P4 Examination papers wore prepared for pa. pile wishing to pass from the Junior III and Junior IV classes as well as for those wishing to pass from the senior classes of these books. ° It was decided to appoint a committee to receive questions from teachers, and ane- wer same at the next meeting of the As- sociation. Teachers having questions to ask send the dame to the chairman or some member of the• Committee a reasonable time before the Assooiation meets and the answers willbe given as per above resolu- tion. The committee appointed to parry out the above is Messrs T. A. Brown, Ex- eter; W. H. Johnston, Hay; H.1. Strang, B,A., Goderioh. The thanks of the Association were ten- dered to the Exeter public school board for their generosity in allowing the use of the school building for Association meeting. Besides the members of the sohool board mentioned above the following were visi- tors during the sessions of the Institution: —Revs. W. MoDonald and J. A. Snell; Messrs T. B. Carling, John Grigg and Sam- uel Sample, an old member of the Assoofa. tion at present teaching in Perth county, and several ladies. On the whole a very successful meeting was held. A pleasing feature of it was the interest taken by the lady teachers, three of whom (Aliases Vosper, Walroad and Watson) had planes on the program and won much' prairie for the manner in which they aoquitted themselves.
