"Nobody has called me that since I was a boy out here," and he recalled hoAv, when he and Rose Hartwick Thorpe, author of "Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night," were teaching school together in 1SG9, he had arranged the first programme of public readings Will Carleton had ever presented. It was for the benefit of a fund to buy an organ for the school. Mr.
Carleton, when he mounted the chair, addressed the assemblage as follows : "Fellow Pupils, and Schoolmaster and Boys and Girls — I look around thi...s room and I pick out the places where I used to sit ; sometimes it was over by that window, sometimes there, sometimes, I grieve to say, on the floor when I had been bad and was caught at it. In a general way I may say that I sought the best place and then held it down as long as I could.
I have been trying to do that in life ever since." He told how he had been larruped by the schoolmaster when he was detected writing a combination of epigram and epitaph that should embalm the failings of that long-gone pedagogue and he insisted that he never would have been caught if the rhyme for the last line had not stumped him and caused a fatal delay.
