He owned up he was a bad speller and he’d tried his level best to do better but it didn’t seem to come natural, and he thought maybe ef he was a good farmer you wouldn’t mind about the spelling.

Now they aren't any printed books hereabouts, but you've got it all in your head " "I can't teach you much," Allan had said soberly, "whispering under bushes and listening for Schenck's cavalry! We might do something, though. You were an awful poor speller. Spell 'sergeant' now 'ordnance' now 'ammunition' 'battery' 'caisson' 'Howitzer' 'Napoleon' 'Tredegar' 'limber' 'trail' 'cannon-powder' "

"I was glad not to miss," she replied gravely. "Mrs. Webb uses Dilworth's speller," said Mrs. Leverett, "and so I gave her Betty's. But she has a different reader. She thought Doris read uncommon well." "And what came next?" "They said tables all together. Why do they call them tables?" "Because a system of calculation would be too long a name," he answered dryly. Doris looked perplexed.

"If she can't spell them down out of the speller, she begins at the beginning of the dictionary and gives words out until she finds one that floors them all. You wait and see!"

It was quite unnecessary to call him, for Samuel Weller stepped briskly into the box the instant his name was pronounced. "What's your name, sir?" inquired the judge. "Sam Weller, my lord." "Do you spell it with a 'V or a 'W?" inquired the judge. "That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my lord," replied Sam, "but I spells it with a 'V."

Less marked in its religious instruction, the speller spread through the South and into regions where the people were not trained in the Puritan doctrines. It is not probable that other books will under present conditions repeat the history of these books.

It seemed as though the one likeness lay on the surface of her face, while the other loomed up from underneath, as the reflection of a face does from under the surface of water. Lucy soon wearied of her mother and walked over to my side. I put her on my lap. She would not let me pat her, but she did not mind sitting on my knees. "Are you a good speller?" I asked

And yet, nailed to the cross, racked with pain in every nerve, overwhelmed with horror, his wicked soul in a tempest of passion, this poor wretch managed to lay hold on Christ and trust Him for a swift salvation. The faith of this thief, how it flashes out amid the darkness of Calvary! It is one of the most astounding instances of faith in the Bible! When I was a boy I was a poor speller.

If provided with a sharp knife, and a stick on which to whittle, which the kind old man would allow, I could generally stand most of an afternoon without missing. Strange to say, after a few years, when I had given myself to the study of other things, it all went from me, and I have been a poor speller ever since.

This is well known in my Institution of Learning, where I am called impetuus and even rash. That night, my Familey being sunk in sweet slumber and untroubled by finances, I made a large card which said: "For Hire." I had at first made it "For Higher," but saw that this was wrong and corected it. Although a natural speller, the best of us make mistakes.
