AN ELOQUENT EXTRACT. cr.-'Generation after

now feel, and their lives were active as our
own. The.S passed like vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect of beauty as when her
Creator commanded her to be. The heavens

now around our paths. The world will have
the same attl action for our offspring yet unborn
that she had once for childhood Yet a.
little while and all will have happened. The
throbbing heart will be stided, and we shall be
at rest. Our funeral will wind its way, and
the prayers will be said, and then we shall be
left behind in silence and darkness for the worm
And it may be for short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things of life will creep on,
and our names will soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to move on, and laughter and
song will be heard in the room in which we
died the eye that mourned for will be dried
and glistened again with joy and even our
own children will to think of u.s. and
will not remember or lisp our names.

Facts for the Curious.

The first English literary production penn
ed in America, which has any rank in the
general history of literature, is the trans
lation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, by George
Sandys, printed in London, 1926.
The first secretary of the Virginia colony
was William Strackey. He was one of a
party of officers shipwrecked on the Bermu-
das in 1909. His published description of
the storm was said to be the foundation of
Shakespeare's Tempest.
The first printing press in the New Eng
land colony was set up in Harvard, in the
house of the president, Rev. Henry Dunster,
1859. The first publication was the Free
mans Oath, then an Almanac, followed by
the Bay Psalm Book.
The first degree of Doctor of Divinity con-
feraed at Harvard was conferred upon Rev.
Increase Mather, in 1892, then president of
the university.
The first pastor of the church at Boston
was Rev. John Wilson.
The Bay Psalm Book was the first book
OF any consequence printed i'll this country.
The translators say in the preface 6: If
therefore the verses are not always so smooth
and elegant some may desire or expect,
let them consider that Gods altar needs not
our polishing. Neither let any think that
for meter sake we have taken liberty or
poetical license to depart from the true and
proper sense of Davids words in the He
brew verse, Noe" In the second edition
were added few spiritual songs. Here is
a specimen, from the song Of Deborah and

The first American edition of Sternhold
& Hopkins version was published at Cam
bridge in 1893.
DIR. Watts Hymns were first published in
England in 1907, and his psalms in 1919.
He sent specimens of them to Cotton Mather.
These hymns were first published in Ameri-
ca by Dr. Franklin in 1741, and the psalms
were published the same year in Boston.
They did not come into general use until
after the Ecvolntion.

SHAKING HANDs.-The mere offer of the
hand is the readest sign Of voluntary courtesy
or forgiveness, and it's noncompliance the most
civil yet meaning of repulses. Shaking hands
is a mode of greeting, the origin of which is
lost in obscurity. Individuals display charac-
ter in their mode of doing. Who cannot
feel at once the antagonism between the touch
Of prude and the cordial grasp of friend?
Who knows not the sailors grip of candid
heartiness from the conventional "giving of
hands?' How perfectly does the graduated
of lingering pressure the mercury in loves
barometer to rise or fall by the scale of hope
What sympathes and antipathies are demon
strated by the various degrees Of kindly, rreso-
lutte, vivacious, careless, fond, or earnest man
of shaking hands ! 1t is this relation be-
tween temperament, feeling, consideration, and
the instructive action of the hand, which has
given rise to those theories which profess to
read the predominant impulses of character in
the traits of ones handwriting.

A Singular Suicide.


In little town of Dover, which IS stu
ated on the Cumberland river, IN Middle
Tennessee, there lived, some time ago,
an eccentric and Incorporate old bachelor
by the name of Kingston. On one occa-
sion, when prostrated on his bed by ex-
cess, and suffering actually from those
things, and horrors peculiar to his sltua-
ton, he sent for one of -hls old boon COM
panions to come and visit him. Shyrack,
for that was the others name, came duly
into kngston's room.
What's the matter. Kingston
'Shyrack, shut the door,

An Eccentric Barren.

There resides at a country mansion,
called Hermansdorf, near Landshut in Ba-
varia, queer old gentleman, named
Baron Won Halberg, who, from his retir-
ed habits, and eecentricities, is known as
the ''Herlnit of Ganting." Some idea
may be formed of this anchorite's pecu-
liarities and taste from the following
dainty advertisement Just published by

Tortoise Shells.

What is called the tortoise she'll is not,
as is generally supposed, the bony cover
ing or shield of the turtle, but only the
scales which cover it. These are thirteen
in number, eight of them fat and FIVE a
little curved. OF the fiat ones, four are
large, being sometimes a foot long and
seven inches broad, semi-transparent, ele-
gantly variegated with red, white, yellow
and dark brown clouds, which are fully
brought out when the shell is prepared
and polished. The lamine constitute the
external coating of the solid or bony part
of the shell, and large turtle affords
about eight pounds of them; the plates
varying from an eighth to.a quarter of an
inch in thickness. The fishers do not kill
turtles, did they do so they would in a
few years exterminate them. When a
turtle is caught, they fasten him, and CO.
yer his back with dry leaves or grass, to
which they set fire. The heat causes the
Plates to separate at their joinst; a large
knife is then carefully inserted horizon
tally beneath them, and the lamina lifted
from the back, care being taken not TO
injure the shell by too much heat, not to
force it off until the heat has fully pre-
pared it for separation. Many turtles die
under this cruel operation, but instances
are numerous in which they have been
caught a second time, with the outer
coating reproduced; but, in these cases,
instead of thirteen pieces, it is single
piece.

London Newspaper.

The Public Ledger is the oldest daily
paper in London, having been established
in the year 100; for several years it has
only had between five and SIX hundred
subscribers. The London Daily Commer-
cial List has less than one hundred SUBJ
scribers. The London press includes two
thirds of the newspaper circulation of the
kingdom. 1t is a noble circumstance thai
the printing press in England had been a
press nearly hundred and fifty year:
before the inventive genius of that ooun-
try produced single newspaper. Yet
after the newspaper appeared in society
it was nearly a hundred years more be
fore daily paper was yentured upon.

Kissing a Bachelor.
A correspondent relates the following
very rich incident:

A correspondent relates the following
very rich incident:
"We have friend-a bachelor friend
very fond of the society of the ladies,
but extremely modest and difEdent withal.
A few evenings since he went to make
call upon an acquaintance who had re-
Gently taken to himself wife, young and
beautiful, and, as a matter of course,
overfowed with affection for her husband.
Now, this lovely wife of week, like all
other young wives, could scarcely survive
the brief absence of her husband for the
discharge of his business; and, always,
upon his return, met him upon the thres-
hold and smothered him with kisses. 1t
so happened, when our friend called, that
the husband was absent, but was momen
tarily expected by the fond and anxious
wife. She heard his football upon the
step, and supposing it to be her husband
rushed forth to meet him; and he had
scarcely laid his hand on the bell-pull,
before the door flew open, and his neck
was encircled by pair of white arms, and
burning kisses fell thick and fast upon his
lips and cheek. Here was a trying situa-
tion for dificent man, and our friend
came near fainting on the spot; but, for
tunately, the lady discovered her mistake
in season to prevent such melancholy
event, and he escaped from the house
more dead than alive. The last we saw
of him, he was leaning against tree
tanning himself with his umbrella, in or
der to recover strength to regain his lod.
gings."

Pick up de StObe.

A correspondent writing from Wash
ington, Pa, says:
"Like most other small towns we have
'colored church, where many amusing
things are said, highly exhilerating to the
spirits of the few who occasionally visit
our 'Hayti' meeting house. Hayti is the
name given to that part of the town where
persons OBJ color reside. One winter
evening, when the colored preacher was
in the midst Of his sermon, making most
violent if not the most eloquent appeal to
his hearers, one OF the legs of the stove
which had been loosened in some way,
fell out, and as natural consequence, the
red hot stove tipped over at an angle
alarmingly suggestive of fire. The au-
Gience of course commenced erowding out
of the door like flock of black sheep
But the preacher was equal to the occa-
sion. Addressing one of his prominent
members, he cried out: "Pick up de
