/ II was terrible night, that winters
night when she and the century wert
young together. The sun was lost at
3 o'clock the snowy night came down
like white sheet that tapped around
the house, beat at the windows with its
edges, and at last wrapped it in a close
embrace. In the middle Of the night
they thought they heard above the wind
a voice crying "Christus Christus :" in
foreign tongue. They opened the
door-uo easy task in the north wind
that pressed its strong shoulders against
it, but nothing was to be seen but the
drifting snow. The next morning
dawned on fences hidden and land
scape changed and obliterated with
drift. Duiing the day they again heard
the cry of "Christus~ this time faint
and hidden like child's voice They
searched in vain; the drifted snow hid
its secret. On the third day they broke
path to the fence, and then they heard
the cry distinctly Digging down, they
found the body Of man, a Spanish
sailor, dark aud bearded, with earrings
in his ears. As they stood gazing down
at his cold and pulseless figure, the cry
OF "Christus again rose upon the
wintry air, and they turned and fed in
superstitious terror to the house. And
then one of the children, bolder than
the rest, knelt down and opened the
dead mans rough pea-iacket and found,
what think you? a little blue and green
parrot nesting against his breast It
was the bird that had echoed nechani-
cally the last despairing cry of the life
that was given to save it. 1t was the
bird that ever after, amid outlandish
oaths and wilder sailor songs that | fear
often shocked the pure ears Of its gen
tie mistress and brought scandal into
the Jerseys, still retained that one weird
and mournful CRY.

Jefferson s Poverty.

Mr. Jeffersons affairs did not mend,
though he enjoyed the able and resolute
assistance of his grandson and name
sake, Thomas Jefferson Randolph and
he resolved, at length, to discharge the
worst of his debts in the fashion Of old
Virginia, BY selling Il portion OF his
lands. But there was nobody to buy,
Land sold 10 the usual way would not

quently he petitioued the legislature to
relax the operation of the law 20 far as
to allow him to dispose OF some Of his
farms by lottery, as was frequently
done when money was to be raised for
a public object. The Legislature granted
his request, though with reluctance.
But, in the meantime, it had been noised
abroad, all over the union, that the
author OF the declaration Of iudepend.
enoe was about to lose that far.famed
Monticello, with which his name had
beon associat ed in the public mind for
two generations, the abode Of his prime
and the refuge Of his old age, a Mecca
to the republicans Of many lands. A
feeling arose in all liberal minds that
this must not be done; and, during the
spring Of 1926, the last of his years
subscriptions we're made for his relief
in several places Philip Hone, mayor
OF New YORK, raised without an effort,
as Mr.. Randall records, $500; Phila.
delphia sent 81, 900, and Baltimore 49,
900. The lottery was suspended, and
Mr.. Jetferson's last days were solaced
by the belief that the subscriptions
would suffice 10 free his estate from
debt, and secure home and independ-
ence to his daughter and her children.
He was proud Of the liberality OF his
counttymen, and proud to be its object.
He who had refused to accept 50 much
as q loan from the Legislature Of his
state, glorifed in being the recipient oil

SYDNEY SMITH said one thing which
is good for youth to have quoted in its
behalf, and as a reply to the maxim
they like not, namely, "spare the rod
ana spoil the child" To hardship, say
some people--to whom it is easiest to
be hard--children should be early in
used, so that in after.life they may be
better able to bear it, though II 1t
should not come at all in after-life their
labor is in vain. Sydney Smith, on the
contrary, says, "ThOse young people
will turn out to be the best men who
have been guarded most effectually in
their childhood from every species Of
useless vexation, and experience in the
greatest degree the blessings OF wise
and rational indulgence.

SINGULAR CASE OF DROWNING.

lad fifteen years OF age, Jacob Costing by name,
who attended the excursion Of the First Baptist
church and Sunday school to Iona Island, on Fri
day, July II, hired a boat, and, in company with
two younger boys, one being brother, took row
upon the river. At the distance OF half mile be-
low Iona Island, and the west shore at the foot
OF the Dunderberg Mountain, Jacob Costing got
out or the boat upon the shore to get drink OF
water, where he saw small stream trickling down
the rocks. The rocks being slippery,
he fell into the water and Disappeared
The younger boys failed to render any assistance,
being overcome with fright, and. believing him to
be drowned, returned to the Island Just as the
party were leaving for home. Friends OF the
drowned boy accompanied the smaller on es In
search or the spot, but they failed to point IL out.
Yesterday at low tide, some passersby in a row.
boat discovered the body OF the lad lying in basin
OF the rock, where he had fallen Lis forehead
bore marks OF blow, which was undoubtedly
caused by the fall, stunning him to such an extent
that he was powerless to help himself. The water
where the body was found could not have been
more than waist deep at The time the body dis
appeared.
