THE NEW SCHOOLMASTER. BY B. P. SHILLABER. That was a strange school at Rocky Valley— a — democracy—for the scholars always me their own way, and = the apron a utmost promptness r jing their teachers. If they Tikked him, pei oy iat down with him. ‘The consequence was that the teachers in the Rocky Valley school had not succeeded very well in advancing the minds of the youth- ful republicans eytrusted to their eharge. The boys acted their own pleasure about study, and never troubled themselves much whether they learned anything or not—at any rate the school- master didn’t dare to lick ’em in case of fail- ure. At last the parents, as they saw the small proficiency their boys were making, looked into ita little, and being shrewd and sensible peo- ple, guessed at the difficulty. They at once advertised for a new teacher, distinctly Speci- fied that he must possess nerve and spirit—un- derstood by the very exprezsive term | a:khone. Several presented themselves for trial. Young students came, with excellent recommendations. but her rey only a day or two. They could not withstand the ridicule and opposition they had to encounter. They were large boys in the school, and the teacher measured the muscular development of the scholars in his estimate of his chances of success in the event of the strug- aa It was a queer state of things in Rocky ley. The boys were not really malicious boys, and were naturally bright and capable, but their leader, a lad about sixteen, was a hard case— the master of them all. by conquest—and held & sway over them as the gr: st monarch in the world holds over his subjects. They ac- knowledged h’s power. and believed him to be invincible. It was his word that had decided the professional fate of all the teachers After a year’s bootless trying to secure a teacher, one made his appearance, passed ex- amination creditably, and was accepted by the | schvol committee. A notice was placed on the door of the school house, and on the door of the ehurch, that school would begin on the Monday | following, under the charge of Mr. Judson, j and the minister read the notice from the pul- | 1 | pit. Speculation was rife as to the new teac! er; and as few had seen him. many questions were asked with regard to him. The boys held a special caucus, at which, of course, Bill Brown was moderator, and it was voted that the new master must be put down. as it was the best fishing season, and the books would interfere with the sports of the brooks On Monday morning the boys were seen mov- | ing in little knots towards the school-house, tusy with their plans of operation. *- I wonder how big he is ?”’ said Seth Good- = 3,“ T hope he isn't one of them savage fel- | ers. | “ [don’t care how big he is, nor how savage | he is,"’ said Bill Brown; “if he don't as | Spanish in less than a week, then 1 miss my guess.”* ~« [don’t know how we are going to learn any- thing if we don’t have a teacher,’ said a little voice of the nui r. “You shut up,”’ said the leader; ‘I don’t want to hear anything like that again. The boy was silent, and they walked on, still talking of the new teacher, unaware of the | proximity of a delicate-looking stranger, appa- | rently about twenty years old. who was walk- ing in the same direction with themselves. ‘They approached the school-house, and when they got there they became conscious of the Presence of the pale young man in their midst +e Good morning, my lads,” he said smilingly; -. We are to begin a new career together to-day, and I sincerely hope we shall like each other. | shall try everything in my power to please | uyem that is consistent with duty, and I shall | t the same from you. I wish you to re- me as your friend at the commencement, and I shall certainly act from friendly feeling. @ your appearance. and believe that we find but little trouble in agreeing.” speech evidently made an impressio ‘bat Bill Brown went round whispering, ‘That all bush. for I see the shape of a cowhide in his Pocket,’ which awakened as he intended it @bould, a combative spirit in all he spoke to. They went into the school; the boys took their laces, and the master mounted his tripod. But ttle was done in the mornii The restless- of arrangement—the getting used to the »l-house—produced coataaions and the com- wement of business was deferred until the omext day. The school was dismissed at noon, gad master and scholars separated—the former h an impression that he had # vigorous and right set of boys to man little hard in } je mouth, perhaps, but who could be made jectable—and the iatter that the teacher cou/d managed by the persuasive force of strong Jerms, but that i: was best to wait and see how things would work » They came together with the same feeling the next morning: classes were formed and all pre- liminaries settled, and everything commenced as happily as need be desired. The teacher’s heart was happy in the thought of his suce when, glancing down through a lane of boys, detected 2 improper gesture from Bill Brown, and saw it repeated. even though the boy's eyes. he knew, were fixed upon his own. * Young man, come up here,” he said, in a gentle but firm tone. Brown looked round upon his companions. and with a fierce movement of bravado left his seat and approached the master. ~ Lexpect a - it of obedience in my school, my young friend,” said the teacher, ‘-and shall | insist upon it.’” | ** I don't care what you expect,”’ growled the young ruffian; ‘I should like to see you help yourself.”’ The teaeher bit his lip, while his face whiten- ed, especially ac he heard a snickering laugh pie onud among the scholars; but he showed noother signs of temper, unless it might have appeared in his eye. * Will you return to your seat and behave | yourself’ said he, + and thus remove the ne- | cessity for my helping myself.”’ “No I won't,” was the reply “ Then,"’ said the young teacher, ‘ you shall be made to obey me.” He reached to his desk as he spoke. and took his ruler therefrom, when, turning to the rebel, ' he told him to hold out his hand. The boy, with | a surly and impudent brow, kept his hands per- sistently in his pockets, looking at the same | time arvund the school for engguragement. He | evidently r led the master as easy conquest, and felt suthicient strength within himself to cope with the schoolmaster. ** Hold out your hand, sir,’’ the teache- rc- peated, in a more commanding tone. Refusing tw obey. he received a smart rap on the knuckles from the ruler. when, drawing his right hand suddenly from his pocket, he gave | the teacher a severe fillipon the sideof the | head, and then ~ pitehed in.’’ Ina moment the school was in confusion. The bolder boys mounted the benches to see the progres: of the row, and the timid sat trembling, waiting the | result very anxieusly. | The master, when thus assailed, did not hesi- tate fora moment. His delicate frame seemed to dilate with the spirit evoked by the young | ruffian, and « sinewy strength to pervade him H+ was smaller than his antagonist, but had by | judicious training developed his muscle in a powerful degree. He threw his ruler away and grappled with his antagonist, and the struggle | for mastery commenced in earnest—science | against strength. The boys evidently thought | their associate needed no assistance, for they | did not move to aid him, nnd thus the field was | 1:ft t. ths two@ mba a its. They swayed this way and that way, back and forth, hither and thither, straining and | striving, pulling and jerking, till, with a imag- | ter stroke of scien ©, the master brought his | pil forward on his knees and then by an adroit twist tarned him over on his back, like a | turtle at Halls waiting for the immolating | kaife Immediately improving his opportunity, he | threw himself upon his prostrate foe, and com- mencel mauling him m the most improved chancery mode—hammering away at him, per- haps, in a manner notexactly sanctioned by the -this matter with you.

He was then allowed to get oP, and in the vocabulary of the ring was ‘ound to be severely “ punished.’’ His nose had suffered, and his ey were essentially bunged up. He looked the sneaking and ‘used u wretch, and stood before his mates a couquaréa game chicken. | a” erred was from that mo- ment e, and when the master stood up be- fore be school, ascalm and collected as if he had merely been setting a copy instead of an example, they sank into their seats with an im- plied concession that they had found their nose Not a sound was heard from one of em. * Well, boys,’ said he, “ if there is any other one here who is disposed to disobey me, I should like to have the mattersettled now. ‘Those dis- posed to be obedient, and will pledge themselves to obedience, will please rise to their seats.” They all rose. “Now I will tell you,’’ said he, “ that Iam disposed to yield equal and exact justice to all —kindly if you will, but as you will, (looking significantly at Brown.) be good boys and I am your friend. Iam going to take a botanical stroll in the woods, on Wednesday, and those who behave themselves well in the meantime may accompany me. Do you wish to go ?”” ~ Yes, sir,’’ was the unanimous voice. “He felt that he had triumphed, and bade them be seated. * Now, Brown,” said he, “I must finish up att You seem sore in body and spirit, and you may either go or stay. If you think you have been wronged, appeal to those who mnay right you.”” Brown went to his seat and gathered up his books; and, with a sneaking, hang-dog sort of a look, he departed. The boys settled down to their studies, and the school became cheerful and industrious. The next day Bill Brown's mother called to abuse the teacher for his violence towards the boy. He referred her to the school committee and bade her good morning. The school com- mittee investigated the case. and said he had served him right, and the justice of the village, when aware of the decision of the committec, would have nothing to do with it. In a week's time, the boy came and asked permission to enter the school, which was granted without a word of reproach or a word of promise. He was evidently cured. He grew to be the best scholar in the school, graduated with honor, became a successful merchant of Boston, and every year on his visit to Rocky Valley, visits the school, and tells, with tears in his eyes, the lesson the new schoolmaster taught him, and the good it did him. The new schoolmaster is now growing old in the station where he began so strangely a dozen years ago. He has his botanical walks still, when ail of his school attend with him—he making oo behavior the condition of their so doing. These excursions on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons have quite killed several circuses that came into the village, as not one of the scholars chose to deprive himself of the walk for the sake of other attraction. Iwas at Rocky Valley last winter. ona Wed- nesday, and went down on the pleasant pond near the schoo!-house to indulge in the old sport of skating, which I had not done for years The day was fuir and the ice asclear as crystal. Hearing a tremendous shouting, I looked to- wards the end of the pond, and saw a crowd of boys on skates pursuing a man who kept well ahead, and when they come up to where I was, like an army with banners, I saw it was the teacher. He reeognized me and stopped. “Ah,”” says I, ‘Mr. Judson, I see you are the same old boy.” * Yes,’ replied he, ‘we are all boys such days as this, and such skating as this.’” * Don’t the parents think strange of you for your frivolous conduct ?”’ I asked. * Yes.”* he said, “some like those dezeribed by Holmes— ‘ Distrust the azure flower that blossoms on the shoot, As though wisdom’s old potato may not flourish at the root,” but the boys are my inspiration, and as they are pleased so am I. He swept away with his train of boys, and a happier band never woke glad echoes out doors than those who were in chase to beat the school- master. He had never had occasion, as I after- wards learned, to flog a boy in his school after the first day, and he had the reputation of having the best school in the country. ete Paitosorny 1x Covet.—We observe that a ize is offered this year by Harvard College of B00 to any pupil who shall be decided by the Corporation to have attained the greatest ski.l in mathematics. The person who offers the rize, Which is only proposed for this year, is Jriah A. Boyden, a civil engineer of Boston. This gentleman was concerned in a suit last yeur, brought by him in the Supreme Court of Lussachusetts, against the Atlantic Cotton Mills ot Lawrence, which was of a very interesting character, but has never, so fur a3 we ure aware, come before the public Mr. Boyden had agreed to make a turbine water wheel for the Atlantic Mills, which should save, or “‘utilize,’”’ as it is termed, seventy-six per cent. of the water pow- er; if he suceeeded in saving that per centage, he was to have $2,000, if not, he was to have nothing; and for every one percent above that he was to receive $350. Mr. Boyden went to work and produced a wheel which saved, as he affirmed. x/vety-vir er cent. The labor involved in this result may tS imagined, from the fact that Mr. Boyden spent more than 39.000 in the mere mathemati- cal calculations. The company had provided no Sufficient means of testing the question prac- tically, and as the per centage claimed by Mr. Boyden was augeker unprecedented, they con- tested the claim. The case went into court. No jury on the globe could comprehend the question, and the learned bench also found itself entirely at fault. The case was accordingly referred to three well- chosen parties—Judge Joel Parker, of Cam- bridge, Professor Benjamin Pierce, the mathe- matician, and James B. Francis, of Lowell, the agent of the united companies of Lowell in the anagement of the common water power. Pro- fessor Parker furnished the law, Mr. Francis the practical acquaintance with hydraulics, and Protessor Pierce the mathematical knowledge. | The learned geometer had to dive deep and study long betore the problem was settled. But settled it was at last, and in Mr. Boyden’s favor, to whom the referees awarded the sum of $18,700. Mr. Boyden had previously constructed turbine wheels that utilized respectively the extraordi- nary amounts of cighty-nine and ninety per cent., the last wheel utilizing ninety-six per cent.. exceeds anything of the kind that was evermade The wheel is one bundred and four and three-quarter inches in diameter—New York Lvening Post.
