when she was not reading from it, laid upon the ia

finding her seated in an arm chair, the table in her
lap, and the bible on the floor Asking her the
cause of this new arrangement, she told me that
the table was tired with holding the bible that
she was tending it, for the purpose of giving it
some relief. This process was often repeated af
forwards, and the benevoence that prompted it soon
extended to the bedstead, to which she frequently
gave opportunities of rest by holding up for
hours in succession the corners of the bed and the

Joe was one evening seated in the bar-room ola

connected with the "pomp and circumstance of
war;" In the course of some remarks, one of them
stated that the British Government possessed the
largest cannon in the world-and gave the dimen-
sions of one which he had seen. Joe's yankee
pride would not allow lin to let such an assertion
pass without contradiction.
