H@ We are told'that when Archbishop
Cranmer's edition of the Bible was printed
in 1888. and fixed to desk in the English
parish churches, the ardour with which men
focked to read it was incredible. They
who could, procured it, and they who could
not, crowded to read it, or to hear it read,
in churches 1t was common to see little
assemblies of mechanics meeting together
for that purpose after the labor of the day.
Many even learned to read in their old age,
that they might have the pleasure of instruc.
ting themselves from the Scriptures.

HONEST FARMER. Two farmers having
a dispute as to some land an action at law
was commenced to determine it, On the
day fixed for the trial, one of them called
on his opponent to accompany him to the
court that each might give his own state.

work in the field, he said to him, "Is it pos.

spare time to 60. You will be there, and
I know you are an honest man, and will

the cause was decided against him, and be
returned to inform his opponent that he
had gained the property. Such charac-

SINaULAR.-The Principal of the State
Military College of louisiana, at Alexandria,
is said to be brother of the Hon. John
Sherman, the late candidate of the Republi-
cans for Speaker of the House. Sosays the
New Orleans Bulletin, and adds:
We refer to it merely as an interesting
illustration Of the entangled and disintegra-
ted condition of affairs in this country,
that gentleman who is deemed in every
respect worthy to be placed at the head of
the Military College, if We may so term it,
of Louisiana, by the act of its Executive,
and warmly commended by him, should be
a brother of the late Republican candidate
for Speaker, who signed the Helper circu-
lar, and who has been, in consequence, so
severely and justly denounced. 1t suggests
some curious reflections.

CHAPTER xxx.
THEATRICALS.

The doors of the great barn were flung
wide open, and red flashes of light stream
ed out into the darkness; and the rustic oi
silk, and the merry voices of women min.
gled, as the company, two and two, filled the
magic entrance. What EXPLANATIONS oi
wonder, what pretty raptures, what spark
ling eyes!
Georgeous with light and pictures, with
strips Of splendid carpeting suspended
wherever anything unsightly needed to be
hidden; with flags, wreaths and streamers,
was the interior of this modern barn. The
floor was covered with cloth, under which
straw had been thickly strewn; the curtain
hung without wrinkle the mimic foot.
lights shot up crimson lustres the orches.
ira discoursed most charmingly tit bits from
the choicest operas; and when filled with
youth and beauty, and the splendors Of
costly fabrics, the whole interior was like a
fairy scene.
Choice seats had been reserved, so said
the managers, for the fan v and for Star,
and they were led to pos ion quite near
the stage.
There were two seats, one of which was
designated for Star.
'Media,' said Star, you will take the
place beside me-
Il beg pardon Miss, 1 was told to leave
this seat empty
Then | will sit somewhere else,' said
Star.
Il beg pardon Miss, the seats are all full.
d am quite near you STAR said Media,
touching her, 'the gentleman sitting here
very kindly offered Marshall and myself,
these places. I'm so glad directly behind
you, you see, so we can talk together
Star felt conspicuous, consequently, un-
comfortable. She wondered for whom the
seat was kept, when up went the curtain,
revealing beauties unknown before to the
startled vision of Star.
As the play progressed, Star became ab-
sorbed. She found herself watching with
no small interest, the performance of Mr..
Carlisle, whose part, unfortunately, was one
he could only too truly personate-a noble
man and a roue-loviug, deceiving simple
country maiden; but in the end, perform
ing some attoning deed which was supposed
to obliterate the memory of all his past fol-
lies.
Star was verdaut enough to wonder why
they applauded some things that seemed
to her such unblushing wickedness nor
was she less astopished, when after the end
Of the play, and while they were preparing
some other entertainment, the gallant Duke
came in by a side entrance, and with a
graceful bow to her, glided into the vacant
seat by her side.
Fred and Marshall exchanged angry
glances, and as for Star, if ithad been pos.
sible she would have shrunk into the very
wall. Her cheeks blazed her spirit was in
tumult; and she could scarcely forbear
casting ine!egant glances toward him.
Meanwhile, the whisper wentround, 'who
is she p 'Who, pray, has Carlisle got in
tow now?' And then were inuendoes cast,
sly and cruel Some said it was country
girl; then they referred to the play, and
laughed and jested till the other scenes took
off their attention.
Dances and tableaux succeeded, and then it
was understood that the company would ad-
journ to the house, partake of supper, and
return again to the barn, which would be
prepared for dancing.

(Which is an animal comparatively worth

less.) Another fact Of this kind occurred
to me whilst being detained at particular
place, where our favorite amusement was
trapping wild animals. Our mode Of do
ing this was with spring gun connected
with bait, which, when touched, produced
the explosion. One instance showed us
that fox, either from observation Of .
companions fate, or from hard earned ex
perience, had gone up to the gun, bit of
the cord connected with the bait, and the
danger being averted, went and ate the
meat in undisturbed comfort. And:it is 3
common occurrence for the fox to make 9
trench up to the bait, seize the bait, ant
permit the charge to pass over his head.
