be got to them.

After this, he let the "Other-Fellow" manage his school. You can see
how effective it was, my dear, by observing what it did for "Dodd," as
I have just related. It was even more powerful, if possible, with the
other pupils.

I commend this "Other-Fellow" to your notice, ladies and gentlemen, and
especially to yours, beloved, who are teachers of young men and women.
You can't use him to so good an advantage among the younger pupils, but
if you can once get him to take control of your larger boys and girls,
you have put them into most excellent hands.

For, see; he will ply the lash when it is deserved, and lay on heavily
where you would hardly dare to lift a finger. Does Mary whisper too
much? Quietly ask her to settle the score with the "Other-Fellow." Is
John doing something that he should not do? Hand him over to the same
authority. And if you can do this, and can succeed in making this
personage the Absolute Monarch of your school, whose assistant you are,
then be happy, and teach school just as long as you can afford to. You
are a god-send to any company of young people among whom your lot is
cast.

But if you are a stranger to the "Other-Fellow" yourself, don't try to
introduce him to any one else. It is not well for strangers to attempt
familiarities, yet I have known such attempts, even in the school room,
and by those high in authority, even among the machines.

But Mr. Bright had succeeded in putting this personage into his school
as head master, and he had wrought wonders, even in so hard a case as
that of "Dodd" Weaver. His presence in any school will always work as
it did in this case. It takes a man or a woman of character to use
this power, though!

CHAPTER XIV.

I most heartily wish that I could go on with this tale without
recording any further lapses on the part of its alleged hero, but I
can't. The facts in the case will not warrant such a continuation.

Nor do I admit that it was "Dodd's" Methodist blood that occasioned
these fallings from grace. I have known men, women and boys, and whole
herds of other people besides, even those who were firm believers in
the tenet "Once in grace, always in grace," who yet had their
"infirmities" about them, and whose feet still clung to the miry clay,
though they did think their heads were in heavenly places!

On the whole, after observing human nature pretty closely for some
time, even till gray hairs are with me to
