In the dcath-bed scene of Tommy Taft
in Beecher's Ledger story Of Norwood,
was shown the great gift of the reader in
the pathetic style of reading, while the
stray bits of eccentric wit were portrayed
with effective interest. The audience
were under the complete control of the
sentiment of the story throughout and gave
their need of praise in breathless attention.
Nothing could be better characterized than
was this affecting scene between Tommy
Taft and Barton Ca,hcart.
The poem, "St. Micbacs," which fol-
lowed, described a scene of startling inter-
est the rescue OF the church in Charles
ton, s. G., from burning by plucking from
its lofty spirc a blazing brand which was
flung by the wind from connagration
near by and clung to the spirc threatening
the destruction of The church The heroic
act was performed by slave. who scorned
the monicd reward, and was given his free
dom by the Mayor This poem was read
with fire and pathos which would alike
do justice to the best of readers.

The course of civilization flows on like a
mighty river through a boundless valley,
calling to the streams from either side to
swell its current, which is always growing
wider and deeper and clearer as it rolls
along. Let us trust ourselves upon its
bosom without fear nay rather with con-
fdence and joy. Since the progress of the
race appears to be the great purpose OF
providence, it becomes us all to venerate
the future. We must be ready to sacrifice
ourselves for our successors, as they in turn
must live for their posterity. We are not 10
be disheartened, that the intimate connec-
ton of humanity renders it impossible for
any one portion of the civilized world to
be much in advance of all the rest nor are
we to grieve because an unalterable con-
dition of perfection can never be attained.
Everything is in movement, and for the
better, except only the fixed, eternal law
by which the necessity of change is estab-
llshed or rather except only God, who
includes in Himself all being, all truth, and
all love.

will be supplemented with a mu,h larger

Take a joint of stove-pipe, 6, z or s
inches in diameter set one end upon an
inch board, and with scratch-awl or pen
Gil mark around on the inside reverse the
pipe and mark the other end. Then with
a pair of compasses find the center of these
two wheels, and strike around their cir
conference, allowing for the iron. Saw
or cut them true and round bore a hole
with a bit in their centers, to receive a
shaft of halfinch round iron about three
inches longer than the length of pipe.
Now fit in one of these heads, and upset
the sheet-iron pipe over it enough to hold
it firmly in place. Put the shaft in and
set the whole end on the ground, taking
care that the shaft stands true; and lastly
put in a quart or two of dry sand, ard
lamp it hard with a suitable rammer, re-
peating the operation till the pipeis full to
within one inch of the top. Fitinthe 9th

iron over it rs before and you have roller
as serviceable as one of all iron, and at al

an angle of 20 degrees from its bottom

The Man Who Was Satisfied with the

We never knew more than one man who

Chubb would come to the front door with
beads of perspiratOn standing out all over

raspberry, and look at the sky and say,

winter, when the mercury would creep
down fifteen degrees below zero, and the
cold was severe enough to freeze the in

globe, Chubb would sit on fence and eX-

Wives at Auction.

The history of this Commonwealth
commences with an auction salc--not,
however, in a store. but beneath the green
trees of jamestown. where probably the
most anxious and interested crowd of auc-
ton habitues ever known in the history
OF the world were gathered. In letter,
still to be seen. dated London, August 2i,
1921, and directed to wealthy colonist of
that settlement, the writer begins by say
ing: 1--WE send Il shipment, one widow
and eleven maids. for wives of the people
of Virginia. There bath been especial
care in the choice of them, for there hath
not one of them been received but upon
good concentrations. In case they cam
not be presently married, we desire that
they NAV be put with several householders
that have wives until they can be provided
with husbands" Bat the writer of this
epistle had little reason TO fear that any of
the "maidens faire" would be left over.
The archives contain evidence to prove
that these first cargoes of young ladies
were put up at auction, and sold for 12O
pounds of tobacco each, and it was or
dered that this debt should have prece-
dence of all others. The solitary lone
widow " went along with the others, for
they could not be particular in those days.

had a busy time that day. He did not
mention any fees, nor did the bridegroom
think of rendering any. All was JOY and
