EVENING ST AR.
PATRICK HENRY.

A man stands upon the floor of the
House of Delegates of Virginia. He turns
an eve of fire around him-he trembles
with some mighty emotion. The emotion,
reader, was the the fist breath of new
BORN Liberty! She started into life at this
inspiration, and the days oftyranny were
numbered !
The grandeur of that scene cannot be
comDassed in one glance. He stood
amid grove and prudent body Of men,
conscious indeed of the wrongs of the
country, but relying upon modest petition
for redress. They had never let their i'm
agination ranbe into visions of upright
and chanless independence. A thousand
thin rs forbade the idea. Their habits OF
Of thought and a;.ion, their pitiable weak
ness as country, their disgust for war
on account of recent and exhausting con-
flcts, al tended to indispose them for
freedom, They were besides, legislating
beneath the jealous eye of royal deputies,
who would no. foil to call treason by its
right name. They sat, as it where under
the gGmmerings of the diadeln. Who
would dare, if 50 inclined, to stalk forth
from their midst, and throw down the
gauntlet to the highest Empire Of the
worl1-to principles as old as the great
globe itself, interviewer with every page
Of past history, sanctioned by venerable
ages, an proud anil awful as the heavens?
Whowould dare to leap on the moss grown
a1i frowning ramparts Of monarchy and
pluck its b,ood.red flag2 Who would
rush o1t from the security Of submission,
and Sampson Ike, crap the lion by his
main? 1t was the gran1ast moment Of
time-but God had reared I'D one to fill
it. That man was Patrick Henry.
He opened his lips. His heart, big with
the destines Of the world, Struggled for a
moment with doubt-but no longer. The
electric appeal shot forth-drifted on
flashing fiercor and brighter, and growing
in overwhelming majesty, until the last
WORDS" GIVE Me LIBERTY, OR GIVE Me
DEATH i"--f'led up its measure of terrible
might; AM the last link Of the chain that
had entirely bound the form Of freedom
was riven. He had finished his sublime
task. The Revolution was afoot.

Over one spot in the lonely glade brood.
ed spirit of particular gloominess. No
flowers smiled upon it. No greenness
was there, save that of an amaranth stalk
which leafess and bearing a single pale
bud, seemed almost spent with toil;n@ in
to life from the barren dust. The voice
which made its music was but the voice
OF the withered pine boughs signing as
they shlvered above it. AL around it
there were sadness and dismal decay.
Yet in earth's uncursed placcs-in forest,
in field, about the beds Of the peaceful
dead-Wcre vcndure and blossoms, and
melody.
Besides the amaranth, stirring with
her tlashless fingers and earth which
covered it's feeble roots, kneeled maiden.
There was wildness in her eyes. Upon
her wasted, wan checks where the dreary
crimson stains. Silent, intent on her
strange labor, she knelt through the re-
naming day through the YEARLY pass
ing hours Of the night to its boding noon :;
clouds moved over the spot, hanging
mournfnily as they looked upon it. The
signing pine leaves broke forth into wall
ing The frail shrub quirered as if in
the death chiH. Yet on toiled the mai
den through the slowly wanning, now
nin9ling her warm tears with the dry
dust, and speaking low and tender words
which told Of love such as crime could
not destroy, such as would not b shut
from its object by the portal Of q felon's
grave.
The morning came, cloudle5s, and still,
and sunny. The signing and the wailing
Of the pine-lcaves were hushcd. Still
knecled tie maiden with her slim fingers
in the loosenod earth, but no longer at
their work. Sill was the glassiness upon
her eyes, but they were no longer un-
quietly moving in their sockets, and no
longer tears were falling from them. Still
were hor thin lips apart, but no longer
for the utterance of undying love. Still
vas the CHASTITY sallow upon her sunk
cheeks, with it no longer was blending
the crimson. The pale bud was unfold
ed, and beautiful in its fadeless, immortal
purple, sat smiling upon the desolate
spot.

representative from the Emerald Isle
enters, hat in hand, with
"The top Of the morning to We, sir an
I've got a bad tooth, an the diyil bit OF

Pat seated himself, turned up his mug,
and the doctor took peep at his grinders
and with little assistance from Pat, soon
found which were the ones he wanted
out: says Pat
This is the first one, and this is the
second one. Plaise pull the second one
first"
Very well, replied the doctor, " any
way to get them out" and he pulled.
Before he had time to fix the instrument
for the other tooth-the first one-Pat
had got out of the chair and was edgine
toward the door.
" [ guess, doctor, won't have the first
tooth pulled till it aches, and you told me
YOU would pull the second one for moth
ing"
Pat mizzled, and the doctor pocketed
the Joke instead of the fee.

ANCIENT MINEs.-There is conclusive
evidence that the copper mines at Lake
Superior were worked hundreds of years
ago. In 1913 the first Of these old mines
were discovered, and in it was found a
mass Of pure copper weighing six tons,
which had been raised by ancient wedges,
and rolled along the gallery. These an
cient mines extended over a track Of
country one hundred miles long, running
from \. E. to S. W. A great number Of
ancient tools have been found. They all
consist Of hard stones, with single and
double grooves for perception of handles,
like those now employed by blacksmiths
for holding their wedges. The marks of
old fires extended everywhere, Sowing
that they employed heat in their mining
operations, by eating the rock first, then
cooling it quickly with water to soften it,
the plan of softcning copper.

The FOOLS REPEooF.-There was 2
certain nobleman, says Bishop Hall, who
kept a fool to whom one day he gave a
staff with a charge to keep it until he
should meet with one who was a greater
fool than himself Not many years after,
the nDbleman was sick even unto death.
The foil called to see him; the sick lord
said to him:
q must shortly leave YOU"
g And where art thou going?" said the
fool.
"Into another world? replied his lord
ship"
"And when Will come again; within a
month";"
"No."
Within year 2"
"No."
