A Woman Born July 4, 1875.
From the Boston Journal.


Miss Lucy Langdon NOVEL; was born
in Alfred, July 4, 1776, on the day and
very near the hour of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence.
When eight years of age she united
with the Alfred Shakers, and has since
lived with them. When 81 years of
age she wove thirty four yards of cloth,
and at SO knit ten pair of mittens. She
has never been in railroad car, and
is in excellent health. If she lives till
1876, Pullman palace-car will be dis
patched to her native town to transport
her to Boston. From thence she will
be carried direct to the Quaker City,
where her presence will be one of the
atures OF the grand centennial.

Cracking Nuts.

When the snow is crifting. sitting
Throu1h the leafess maple boughs,
And the saucy wind is llftlAg
All the latches in the house,
Isn't it fun, boys, to sit by the fire,
With III the good nuts that you can desire,
And Fanny or Kate
To fill up your plate
While the hammer goes whack, Yhack, whack!
At a rafting pace cid
On the fat-iron's face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
When the red flames dancing, CHANGING
Up the sooty chimney fire,
Seem like summers lightning, lancing
Feecy smoke-clou through and through,
Isn't it fun, glrls, to sit in the light
Of such bright fire, Oh such a rough night,
And find in the fame
Your fortune or name?
While the hammer goes whack, Whack, Whack!
At rafting pace
On the f1at-lrOn'S face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
In the armchair smoking, joking,
Grandpa tells us old time stories
How the Yankees, wanting no king,
Conquered George and ali his Tories!
OH isn't it fun, boys and girls, to know
That our grandfather lived SO long ago,
And that he can tell
OLD stories so well
While the hammer goes whack, whsck, whack
At rattlinS pace
On the hat-iron's face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
III her armchair, nodding, plodding,
With her needles, grandpa sees
Through the smoke-Wreaths grandpa flooding
Our young ears with tales like these
And oh boys, isn't it fun to behold her,
Trying to set herself up for a solder?
For that double chin
Won't let her begin
And now the old lady
Is laughing already!
While the hammer goes whack, whack, whack
At a rafting pace
Or the fiat-iron's face,
The hickory nuts to crack.
Let the north wind rattle, battlel
Rake the tree-tops ! shake the doors
We will sing and laugh and prattle
Where the CHEEKY hearth-fire roars;
For, boys and girls, it is fun to gather,
On stormy night, in wild winter weather,
Round the warm bright tide
Of the chImney-side,
While the hammer goes Whack, whack, whack
At rafting pace
On the iat-iron's face,
The hickory nuts TO crack.

speclous rather than solid, communica-
tive rather than reflective, came for
ward to teach. They were men that
would have made Carlyle swear-made
to order to make knowledge to order.
. Their boast was that they could teach
how to talk of subject of which Won
knew nothing as we'll as of one about
which you knew everything. The
earnestness was gone. That of talk
succeeded. The Sophists had 10 faith
III God. They doubted themselves.
The previous PHILOSOPHERS had one
sided theories and, pushed to their re-
suits, landed in uncertainties. Ill at
tempts to grasp the truth had failed.
and men were ready to despair and
doubt, and to believe nothing. The
sophists reached that point Their
cardinal doctrines were that there was
no truth that even if there we're, it
was impossible to know it; and that if
known, the truth could not be colnmu-
nicated. The sum of it was that every
thing was true Of everything, the dog
ma OF the school being that all percep-
tions are ilIusory.
But the Sophists filled an important
place in the world of thought; they
called attention to the world of thought
as distinguished from the material
world. They marked the distinction
between sense and intellect They
brought men to doubt But doubt is
the beginning of knowledge. Reject
ing the possibility of knowing, they
presented a fearful abyss from which
men shrank and sought relief in
sound system for which the Sophists
made way. 1t came in Socrates.

\ Lesson in Emphasis.

Some years ago there was a student
at theological SEMINARY at Andover,
who had an excellent opinion Of his
own talents. On one occasion he ask
ed the professor, who taught elocuticn
at the time, "What do | especially
need to learn in this department z"
"l on ought to learn to read" said
the professor.
oh. | can read now,' replied the
student.
The professor handed the man Tes-
lament, and pointed to the twenty
ffth Verse of the twenty fifth chapter
OF Luke's gospel. He asked him to
read that. The student read, Then
he said unto them, O fools, and slow
of heart to believe, all that the proph-
cts have spoken
"Ah.' said the professor, s'they
were FOOLS for te|teriny the prophets.
were they =
Of course that was not right. and so
the young man triea again. go fools.
and slow of heart, to believe uN that
the prophets have spoken"
1.-The prophets, then, We're some
times llars,' said the professor.
No; q fools and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spo-
ken"
According to this reading,' said
the professor, 1.-The prophets were not
notorious liars
This was not satisfactory conclu-
sion, SO another trial was made. 80
fools and slow Of heart to believe all
that the prophets haze spohen.'
Il see, now said the professor,
''the prophets wrote the truth, but they
spoke lies.
This last criticism discouraged the
student, and he acknowledged that he
did not know how TO read The diff
cvlty lies in the fact that words ':sow
of heart to believe apply to the whole
of the latter part of the sentence. and
emphasis on any particular word en-
tirely destroys the meaning.
