The Day the Donkey Came to School Against His Will, A writer in The Scotsman has anearthed an amusing anecdote of Thomas Carlyle as a country ‘‘dominie,’’ for the accuracy of which he vonches. .I¢ }— was told in. 1853 by a Oupar Fife lawyer and provost who had -been one of . t Carlyle’s pupils at Kirkcaldy, to’ the writer and Hugh Miller. The interest . fy of this gentleman’s reminiscences of his schoolmaster was heightened by his utter unconsciousness. that his old’ do{-mini6.was,the Thomas Carlyle who. was. The ol Jeman described the older race of Scot schoolmasters as always during school houre wearing their hate —at least keeping their heads covered— and many of the boys, viewing the peculiar angle at which the hat stood upon the head and how near it came to the eyebrows, could conjecture if the savage mood were to be that day predominant. ‘*But my teacher,’’ said the provost, “a strict and gloomy disciplinarian with the name of Carlyle, never wore his hat in the schoo), and indeed his brow was so overhung with dark threatening that no extra expression to alarm us was needed from his lum hat! He didnot thrash us either very often or very severely, but we had a fear that, if provoked, he would go great lengths in punishment. I have seen his mere scowl! hush at once the whole school.*’ Hugh Miller here interposed by asking, ‘‘Did your teacher ever burst into a strange laugh in echool?’’ “That is a very odd question,” returned the provost. ‘‘Why do you ask? But now that I remember, he had at times a verv extraordinary laugh that made us all stare. It had a train of queer chuckling which exploded in a succession of loud and deep guffaws that shook his whole body and displayed all his teeth like the keys of a piano. He then clapped his hands on the book he held against his knees. Yet none of us never knew at what he was laughing. He had a grim smile in reproving pupils and a habit of tapping their heads with hie knuckles as he told them that the heads would never be worth the price of hats or the charge of a barber, though mammas and aunts bad that morning kissed and blessed them, as if then beg + a to be known to fame. et they were teeming with the sublimest inventions and designs!’’ The provost saw that Hugh Miller and some other guests were listening eagerly, and he proceeded: “One morning, a few minutes before the school bour, when most of the pupils had arrived, and, as rain wae falling, they had gone into the school, a donkey, which had broken loose from ite tether on a grassy spot pear, was entering the playground. Bill Hood and 1 were so far on our way, and Bill, who. my was a stout and frolicsome lad—the ringleader in many sports and tricks— rushed to mount the animal and began to guide and force it into the school. ‘* With desperate spurring the donkey was induced to carry its rider over the threshhold, and what a reception both of them got from the juvenile crowds! Bags of books were at once fastened to the tai) and around the neck of the ass, and so busy were. Bill and half a dozen companions in urging the animal toa canter around the school and to ascend the short stair of the master’s desk that they did not notice how time was speeding, and before they could remove the etranger Mr. Carlyle appeared. ‘* We expected a tremendous explosion of wrath, but he burst into a roar of laughter—such a roar, however, as, in} stead of tempting us to join in it, produced a sudden and vomplete bush, and that roar Was renewed again and again when the ass, withdrawing its forefeet from the first step of the desk stair and (urning round, took a pace or two slowly toward the master as if to salute him. ** ‘That,’ exclaimed Carlyle, ‘is the wisest and best scholar Kirkcaldy has yet sent me. He is fit to be your teacher.’ He tapped the donkey’s head as he was wont to do ours and said, ‘There's something here, far more than in the . skulls of anv of his brethren before me though-these—skullt_are.pattedin.fond admiration by papas and mammas, and though that far grander headpiece meets only with merciless blows.’ ‘*He then gave some hard taps on Bill Hood’s head, and would not allow him to di@sount, but for a penalty ordered him to ride up and down the school for an. hour, while thoze boys who Had been most active in helping Bill to go through the farce had to march in pairs before and behind the perplexed looking ass. He did not require the other scholars to sttend to their several school lessons, bot silently permitted them to stand as spectators of the grotesque procession. Then he himself, seated within his pulpitlike desk, surveyed Bill and his company **T have not for years thonght of this scene, *’ continued the ‘prevost, ‘but it has now come buck to me freshly, and I remember that my old master had a very strange laugh. I don’t know what has become of him, nor indeed have I heard of him since [ left Kirkcaldy school.’’ . Nevada County Directory. Copies of the Nevada County Directory can be obtained for 50 cents.

Bags of books were at once fastened to the tai) and around the neck of the ass, and so busy were. Bill and half a dozen companions in urging the animal toa canter around the school and to ascend the short stair of the master’s desk that they did not notice how time was speeding, and before they could remove the etranger Mr. Carlyle appeared. ‘* We expected a tremendous explosion of wrath, but he burst into a roar of laughter—such a roar, however, as, in} stead of tempting us to join in it, produced a sudden and vomplete bush, and that roar Was renewed again and again when the ass, withdrawing its forefeet from the first step of the desk stair and (urning round, took a pace or two slowly toward the master as if to salute him. ** ‘That,’ exclaimed Carlyle, ‘is the wisest and best scholar Kirkcaldy has yet sent me. He is fit to be your teacher.’ He tapped the donkey’s head as he was wont to do ours and said, ‘There's something here, far more than in the . skulls of anv of his brethren before me though-these—skullt_are.pattedin.fond admiration by papas and mammas, and though that far grander headpiece meets only with merciless blows.’ ‘*He then gave some hard taps on Bill Hood’s head, and would not allow him to di@sount, but for a penalty ordered him to ride up and down the school for an. hour, while thoze boys who Had been most active in helping Bill to go through the farce had to march in pairs before and behind the perplexed looking ass. He did not require the other scholars to sttend to their several school lessons, bot silently permitted them to stand as spectators of the grotesque procession. Then he himself, seated within his pulpitlike desk, surveyed Bill and his company **T have not for years thonght of this scene, *’ continued the ‘prevost, ‘but it has now come buck to me freshly, and I remember that my old master had a very strange laugh. I don’t know what has become of him, nor indeed have I heard of him since [ left Kirkcaldy school.’’ .
