A Change of Fortune.

A poor Irish gentleman has, much to
his surprise, become Earl of Harrington,
being heir Of the late young Earl, who
died IN his minority When the great
Earl of Chesterfield died, the inheritance
passed to a cousin of very remote de-
gree. The same thing has now hap
pened in the line of the younger brother
of the first Earl Of Chesterfield, of whom
Lord Harrington is the representative.
The new Earl Of Harrington's son, now
Viscount Petersham, is an engineer by
profession and education, and highly
esteemed by those who have had occa-
sion to seek professional, service from
him

The Test of Honor.

When that "bill Of denominations,
the tariff of 1929, was under discussion IN
the United States Senate, John G. Cal
houn was supposed to have the casting
vote. This tariff was the first Of many
subsequent aggressions which enriched
the North to the detriment of the South
---engendered by greed and political
intrigue Mr.. Calhoun's opposition to
the bill was well understood, and as he
was then on the ticket with Jackson as
Vice. President, it was known that his
fatal arbitrament Of popular measure
would insure the defeat of the Demo
cratic ticket. Under these circumstances,
he was approached by some of his party
and advised to avoid the difficulty by
leaving his chair when the vote should
be taken. But, as nothing mean ever
came near the head or heart OF that
peerless man, so even the shadow OF
disinCenuousnes failed to touch him.
He was at that moment the Kingmaker.
By remaining on the ticket with jackson
and voting for the bill his election was
secure; by still remaining on the ticket
and voting against the bill, the defeat oil
jackson and the Democratic party was
assured The frienus of jackson i'm
lplored him, by every motive OF selfish
expediency, to evade the responsible
lily by parliamentary subtertuge,
He was memorable to every APP
peal. To sacrifice his political aspira-
tons by retiring from the jackson ticket
was his determination-to sacrifice his
conscience by paltry dodge, Impossible
Behold the temptation-a certain wee
Presidency and almost certain Chief
Magistracy-all for . Et.le compromise
with duty. The unsullied soul of the
great Carolinian could not even hesitate
in the choice. All the world and all
the glory of it were as nothing to honor
he flung them away and stood up as God
made him-an incorrupiible patriot, and
heaven-born statesman. Sir, said he
afterward, in his speech on the Force
Bill, :" was amazed at the folly and IN
fatuation of that period. So completely
was Congress absorbed in tho game OF
ambition and avarice-irom the double
impulse Of manufacturers and politi-
cians-that none but a few appeared to
anticipate the present crisis, at which
all are alarmed, but which is the iney-l
table result of what was then done. As
to myself, / clearly foresaw what has since
followed. The road of ambition lay
open before mel had but to follow the
corrupt tendency of the time but /
chose to tread the rugged path of duty.

In due time both Matched out, and were
put out in the orchard under two coops, not
far from each other, with wired grass runs ior
the young ones. Lady Mary was intensely

one of the Alabama regiments was surveying
the lines accompanied by two privates. Sud
denly, the well known cry of " mind the shell ~
is heard, but rather too late, and as the shell
struck the parapet. the Lieutenant and his
two men jumped in one of the riae-pits on
the other eide of the parapet, but had hardly
reached this place Of fancied security when
another cry is heard
Lieutenant, mind the she'll" as the shell
bounds from the parapet into the very pit
where our three men were squstting. At
that moment one of the privates, who was
over his Lieutenant, seeing the death dealing
missile reaching its explosive point, extended
his arms over his officer and murmured, Lieu
tenant, we are gone, but may save you l''
These were his last words. The shell burst.
One of the privates had leg shattered, and
the Lieutenant held in his arms the mutilated
body Of the other, whose death had saved his
life. -Southern paper.

FGLIAL AFFECTION The Windham coun-
ty Comm Transcript tells the following good
story:
In neighboring town not long ago lived
Aunt Kezab, an industrious and thriving Wild
ow. She had not only kept good her estate,
but had increased it much in value, and she
loved TO refer to il as " the little home that
poor dear Daniel left her."
One day the income man came along
and carried off some of that little boarded
treasure, and she wept as she counted out the
bills on which her partners fingers had once
rested--so sacredly does the heart cling to
memenioes Of the departed.
A few hours afterward she was at the table
kneading bread, and evidently thinking OF
the lost one, when her niece said:
Aunty, now you're prosperous and we'll
to do let's get some pretty tomb-stones for
good uncle Dsniel-you know he has none at
his grave"
Aunt Keziah lifted up her doughy hands
and emphasized this touching expression:
Jane, il they want anything of Daniel at
the judgment, they can find him Without a
guide board tell you he'll be there in
time !"
And nothing more was said
