MIR. GORDON BURNHAM, a patri-
otic citizen of New York, proposes,
as his personal offering for the cele
bration of the coming centennial, to
erect at his own cost a colossal stat
ue of Daniel Webster, to be placed
on Il suitable site in Central Park.
The statue is intended to be in every
way worthy of the man and the day,
and will be noble contribution to
the artistic attractions of the park,
and of the country as well. This
is given as the initiative of a move
ment of which Mr.. w. S. Ward of
New York is the author, and the
object Of which is to persuade all
cities, towns, villages and individu.
ais, so far as they have the power,
to build or endow some monument, t.,
school libra ry, museum or other me-
mortal, which can be recognized as
a centennial gift, and remain forever
as monument of generous patriot.
ism. Mr.. Burnham's gift is in one
direction, and is worthy of imita-
ton; but there are many others
equally worthy.

THE OLD, Old STORY.


The course of true love ne er did run smooth. y
"JUSr ten years ago, on this very
spot, almost at this stlf-same hour,
we parted !" exclaimed Mrs. Trey.
ellyn to herself, as she sat on a lit
tie moss covered seat beneath the
shade of an old oak. ''JuSt ten
years, yet so Tong, long ago! Why
do men say that life is short, and
flies? For me, nothing has flown,
but my dreams." AS she spoke, she
shaded her still youthful and love
ly face from the bright sunlight,
and fell into a revery so deep, as to
be quite unconscious of approach
ing footsteps.
The intruder was a tall, handsome
man, as yet scarce in his prime,
who, catching glimpse of the lady,
stepped quickly forward. But ere
he could speak, Mrs. Trevellyn be-
came suddenly aware of the presence
of some one, and glancing at the
figure of the stranger, she rose as if
to move away.
With a balfaudible apology, the
gentlemen raised his hat, and in a
moment was lost in the thick shrub
berry, while she sank back again up
on the seat, as she said:
"'Tis he! my God, and he does
not know me! Only ten years, and
I-forgotten."
Yes, only ten years since these
two had parted-he youth of
twenty-one; she the beautiful girl
of seventeen summers.
Give Lee was just out of college !:
and before settling down to the
study of his profession. he was to
spend two years IN Europe. Jessie
Trevellyn was still a school girl.
But the two had met years before,
and child's love deepened into
something tender and enduring
enough for the exchange of lovers
vows.
"YOu will write to me Often," he
said as they stood together beneath
the old oak ; lyon will write me
often, and on your coming birthday
you will let me tell your father how
dearly l love you 2"
Eyes! when l am eighteen, papa
shall know where | have given my
heart; meantime, he knows you are
my warm friend. and well, shall
write you a few words each day."

A man in a rural town had a pet
calf, which he was training up in
the ways of an OK. The calf walk
ed around very peaceably under
one end of the yoke, while the man
held up the other end. But in an
unfortunate moment the man con.
ceived the idea of putting his own
neck in the yoke, to let the calf see
how it would seem to work with a
partner; this frightened the calf,
and elevating his tail and voice, he
struck a "dead run" for the vii lage,
and the man went along with head
down and his plug hat in his hand,
straining every nerve to keep up,
and crying out at the top of his
voice, q" Here we come! Head us
somebody"

We all take things for granted.
This was the case at a prayer.meet-
ing in the northern part of Maine,
when the pastor remarked that if
any had relatives in distant lands,
prayer would be offered in their be.
half. Thereupon a man of the peO-
pie arose and said, 81 would like you
to pray for my brother. He went
away two weeks ago, and l havn't
heard from him since. l don't know
just where he is, but you needn't
pray below Bangor"

The current reports about snow.
drifts and such things remind the
Christian Union of a "VermOnt story
which we heard in our boyhood,"
On a July day, early in the pres.
ent century, the mail.stage was
passing over "Cabot plain," when a
passenger observed a woman. arm
ed with a broad, wooden shovel,
digging into snow drift by the
road side. "Why, madam" said
the traveller, don't you take snow at
the top of the drift, instead of tax:
ing the trouble to dig so deep :"
"Oh!" replied the woman, I" the
snow that is three or four years old
is a great deal the BEST"

tion at the foot of the bed, and came
round to touch the little face with .
tender, loving touch. ,
How long has he been 80, Dennis Z
asked Miss Ellis.
Since yesterday, mum, was the
reply. The doctor says he can only
last little while now, the little
saint that he is, fathers poor little
patient saint!
There were tears in his eyes, but
he knelt down by the bedside, draw.

face.
Little Teddy, asked Miss Ellis
bending down, do you suffer much

Yes. little Teddy, the sleep is al.

Arthur, gazing through his tears,
saw a wondrOus change upon the
little face.
Teddy lifted his hand with lis
tening look. Don't you hear the
beautiful music!
And after minute, The beauti-
music and the pretty light, shining

Yes, the beautiful light had shone
out for little Teddy, and would shine
on him forever.

most delicious, because the most

put into type an article of mine
which contained the injunction, ,"Do
not cast your pearls before swine,"
and transformed the phrase into
"Do not cart your pills before. 1t
was he who caused me to misquote
the poets inquiry, so that pro-
pounded to the world the appalling
conundrum, "where are the varmish-

tendency to make the sublime con.
vulsively ridiculous that rejected
the line in a poem Of mine, which
declared that a i" coma swept DER

and substituted the idea that .
"count slept on a haymow in trav.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Scien-

"For the last twelve or fourteen
years ] have been employed in a
shop where there are over three hun
dred men at work, and, as is the
case in all shops of this kind, hard
ly day passes but one or more of
us cut or bruise our limbs. At first
there were but few that found their
way to my department to have their
wounds bound up but after a while
it became generally known that a
rag glued Oh a flesh wound was not

idable protection against further in.
jury. l was soon obliged to keep a
supply of rags on hand, to be ready
for any emergency. will cite here
one among many of the cases cured
with glue. A man was running a
boring machine, with an inch and a
quarter auger attached. By some
means the sleeve of his shirt caught
in the auger, bringing his wrist in
contact with the bit, tearing the
flesh among the muscles in fright
full manner. He was conducted to
my department (the pattern shop)
and | washed the wound in warm
water, and then glued around it a
cloth, which when dry, sunk into a
rounded shape, holding the wound
tight and firm. Once or twice a
week, for three or four weeks, l
dressed the wound afresh, and it
was we'll. The man never lost an
hours time in consequence. The
truth of this statement hundreds
can testify to. | use of course the
