gave me fully to understand that he did not

The Story of Molly SWEET.

In the town Of Granville, there lived a
shrewd and eccentric womaT by the name OF
Molly SWEET Through some financial mis-
hap, in her cid age, she was reduced 10
poverty, and thence forward was known TO
the citizens of the place by the aPpellation
of "Old Mol SWEET" Poor Moll was excess
sively fond of tea and snuff. After she be-
came a town pauper, however. she was
necessarily deprived of her accustomed lux
uries, notwithstanding she was wont, a,
every monthly meeting of the Selectmen, TO
annoy these dignihed officials with importu-
mites for a continuance of what was so es-
sential to her happiness. Upon one occasion,
having been denied, as usual, she still seem
ed unwilling to 60, and one of :he number
ssked her it she wanted anything more.
NO. she replied, sunless they would
like to have her relate dream which she
had had the night. before"
Thinking that something 'rich" might be
coming, they gave her permission to pro-
ceed.
"Last night" said she, 81 dreamed That |
was dead, and found myself standing in the
middle of large plain Upon high hill,
at a distance, beheld magnificent palace,
and turning my footsteps ihiIherward
travelled, and travelled, until tired and foot
sore, reached the gate. knocked, and
the gate was opened by an angel, clad in
robes of light--the most beautiful object
that ever gazed upon. In gentle, kindly
tones, she bade me good-day and asked me
what | wanted. | replied that wished t.
enter.
"'Where did you come from,' asked the
angel.
.s.From Granville, Massachusetts, was
my answer.
.She shook her head, sadly, saying
".We have no Granville people hprer
".Where must go, thenr
"She pointed down towards a dark and
hideous looking building, with iron doors
and grated windows, at the bottom Of the
hill, and told me that could find a resting
place there.
esI turned, and though scarcely able to
drag one weary foot after another, at length
arrived before the huge iron door of this for
bidding mansion. 1t answered to nv iesbe
knock, by turning harshly upon its rusty
hirges, and furous-lOoking demon, with
fire flashing from his mouth, and smoke
issuing from his nostrils. demanded, in thun-
der tones, what | wanted. told him that
| wished a shelter and home.
"Where did you come 'front.' he asked.
"sGranville,' said |.
sGranyille, Massachusetts, said he.
"'Yes,' replied.
"The demon shook his head.
L" Can't take you in said he; 'all full of
Granville people nGw.'
ssIn voice broken and tremulous with
despair, asked
"'Where, then, can go!'
50 Back to Granville!'
"And then, the big tears gathered in my
eyes, | cried!''-Portolio.

Biographical Sketch Of Charles
Sumner.

CHARLES SUMNER, the distinguished Mas
sachusetts Senator, was born in Boston, JAN
uary 6, 1911, and hence is now in the full
muturity of manhood. His father was Charles
Pinckney Sumner, a descendant of an ancient
Boston family, ,and for many years the Sheriff
of Suffolk County. A man combining integri-
ty of purpose with urbanity of manner to an
uncomon degree, he was held in high and
deserved honor by the great mass of his fel-
low-citizens. Mr.. Sumner received his
early education at the Boston Latin School,
was graduated with brilliant reputation at
Harvard University in the year 1880, and
soon after commenced his professional stud
les at the Law School in Cambridge. He
was favorite pupil ofthe late Justice Story
and, at his instance, was appointed editor Of
The American Ju: iSt. Admitted to the
Boston bar in 1884, he v as at once recog-
nized as young man of rare legal erudtion
of singular devotion to study, and of elegant
classical at:ainments. He became reporter
to the United States Circuit Court soon
after commencing practice, snd three vol
umes of reports attest his assiduity and !ega
acumen in that Office. During the absence
Of Professors Greenleaf and Story he lee
tured, at the request ofthe Faculty, for three
successive Winters, to the classes in ths
Cambridge Law School. He won colder
opinions from the students who enjoyed hi
instructions, and enlarged the basis of hi
professional reputation.
Deciding to devote some years to th
study Of European institutions, he sailed 70
England in 1887. He was speedily introduc
ed to the best circles of society, was receiy
