AliSter Lewis would grow to he Il great

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1875-09-17


From time to time. ut considerable
intervals, news came of the Young man
in Glasgow. and it WAS good news. lie
was getting on we'll AT college; his mas
ter WAS in every way cuIIsidcr;Itc; he
was ready to help him to some sort of
work better suited for him. But AT the
end of these letters which AilaSa read
aloud To her mother, the girl said to
herself. And why does he not come
back to see his old friends -
One day there WAS Il great cnmmotion
in Darrnch and killccna. 1t WAS known
that Young AliStcr Lewis. who had
been to the college, and was likely to
hccomc Il SchooImaStcr. WAS returning
for Il few days to the place of his birth.
And AilaSl Went down to the Sc;l. and
herself pulled across the narrow strait,
and walked to the farm in Darroch tn
see if this was all true. True. indeed,
II WAS. for there WAS AliSter Lewis him
self coming to meet her.
While he waS Vet at Il distance hcI
heart grew cold within her. He was
no longer the ii>hrr-bny. in his rough.
and homrly clothes, that had played
about the shore with her, and got hel
the sea birds eggs. He WAS Il young
man now he WAS Smartly dressed ht
seemed Il stranger.
''Ailasa - he cried, as he came near
land are you very well And wa.
coming over t" Carn-Sle;n at this very
moment '.
Somehow she could not speak. Sh,
turned aside her head and began to cry
| silently.

A LudicrOus Scare in Church.

DR.. Sumner once held a cannon's
stall in Durham Cathedral, where he
frequently performed service. The
students of the university attended
service in the center of the church. One
morning an undergraduate, coming in
whilst the organist was playing the
voluntary, made haste to get to his seat.
Hurrying past the lectern, his gown
caught and began to tear, AS is their
wont, the students Uttered; the unfor-
tunate undergraduate. becoming con-
fused, rushed on, splitting his gown
into halves, and by the very noise made
with the tearing drawing universal
attention. Before he had got his seat
the canon rose abstractedly, and COM
menced the service with, 'Rend your
hearts and not your garments ETC.
The whole congregation already with
difficulty suppressing it's amusement,
burst into laughter.

Sand Pies.

St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia,
is the haven for children who have a
propensity for making mud and sand
pies. In many of the small public
parks of that city there are, here and
there, large open spaces covered with
gravel. Every morning in each of these
spaces may be seen large pile of sand,
cone-shaped, about four feet high and
six feet in diameter OF the base. After
breakfast all the children of the neigh
borhood, equipped with little spades,
hatchets and wagons, repair to
these cones, and employ themselves
in digging them down, and
scattering the material, according to
their fancy, over the gravel spaces. The
next morning the cones are all ready
for another assault. The city COVER
ment provides the sand, and has itpiled
up IN the cones eae h night. The result
OF this simple plan is that the children
acquire fondness for exercise and la
Dor, and get that healthful open-air
amusement SO essential to their vitality
in city, Perhaps they always get the
usual maternal spanking for soiiing
their clothing, but that is one of the
sweets Of the halcyon days of childhood
that can be looked back to in after years
without revengeful feelings.

The Condition of Persia.

The Allegemeine Zeitung gives a de-
plorable account of the condition. of
Persia. The revenue. is 100000
tomans, or e3,OOO,OOO while the ex-
penditure, including the lavish of the
Shah and his numerous harem, is 5, OOO.-
900 tomans. A certain sum in gold is
yearly deposited in gigantic vault,
where since the times of the early Kings
chests of gold have been placed and lie
unproductive, thus gradually exhaust
ing the wealth of the country. The
Shah cannot be induced to spend any
OF it ON railways, canals, or mines. The
provincial Governors are mostly the
Shah's relatives, and are devoid Of any
administrative capacity. Their tenure
OF Office mainly depending on the sum
they forward to the central treasury,
they are sometimes superseded by men
who offer to furnish a larger amount.
Considering the diamonds possessed by
by the Shah and his wives. he is,
personally, therichest sovereign in the
world, but his country is the poorest
that can be found. The 10000 persons
who yearly make a pilgrimage probably
expend 100000 rupees out of the
country, and all imports have to be
PAID IN cash, SO that gold has almost
disappeared. The water supply is very
unequally distributed, and it is not
economical. Dams and canals would
fertlllze hundreds of miles of barr en-
soil. The tolls levied on kilograms
passing through the Persian portion OF
the line amount to about 81 laos of
rupees year, but there is no other
source OF revenue besides the crown
rents.

And hail at dawn his wished-for day.

tuo Village. 1<OuIu$o WaS iOuuu W Oc-
stroy except some carriages for cannon.
By 10 o'clock, on the rising ground
above the bridge, the number of Ameri-
cans had increased to more than 4OO,-
he minute-men of Lexington, Acton,
Bedford, Westford, Littleton, Carlisle,
and Chelmsford. A portion of the Brit
ish troops occupied the bridge; another
were engaged in searching and plumber
ing the village. Pitcairn had found two
"a Founders in the tavern yard, and had
spiked them; 60 barrels Of -four had been
destroyed, and 500 pounds Of ball were
thrown into the mill-pond. The liberty
pole was burned, and the Court house
took fire, though it was put out. There
was some robbery of private houses.
Though the first impulse of the
Americans, upon seeing the smoke ris-
ing from the captured village, had been
| to march to it's rescue, they
had restrained themselves; but now the
militia, with Isaac Davis, John But
rick, and John Robinson leading,
marched toward the bridge, the planks
of which the British had begun to take
up. fastening to prevent this, the
Americans received the fire of the enemy
and Isaac Acton, with Abner Hosmer,
of the same town, were killed. Three
hours before, Davis had bid his wife
and children farewell. It is mentioned
in history that his widow ''lived to see
her country touch the Gulf OF Mexico
and the Pacific" while the United
States in Congress paid honors to her
husbands martyrdom, and conforted
her under the double burden of sorrow
and of more than ninety years"
This attack at once dissipated the pa
cific scruples of the Americans. Maj.
Buttrick, it is related, actually leape,l
INTO the air, cried, "Fire, fellow
soldiers, fire p The command, or
rather exhortation; was passed from
mouth to mouth; and it was obeyed. Two
British soldiers fell and few were
wounded The British then retreated

cans were left in possession of the

The market opened with a good inquiry,
but the movement was checked by the scant
supply OF well-ginned, good staple kinds
which were the most in request Later in
the day, however. although the same causes
restricted operations, the sales were of fair
extent, summing up the amount noted above.
Good staIle kinds were firm at previous rates,
with the supply unequal to the demand.
Other descriptions, especially gin-cut and
dingy, were irregular and easier Nothing,
however, transpired to require any change in
our quotations. The American crop report,
published In the morning papers, was re-
garded as nnfavorable, showing an average
falling off of 81, equal to about 10 y cent on
August's average. The dispatch from Liver
pool was discouraging, reporting decline of
lid, with sales of 10000 bales. New York
was easier for spots, but higher for futures
The most unfavorable influence bearing upon
the market was decline in sterling of about
l u cent caused by decentralization of bills
at New York.
The amount on shipboerd not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
BET down at the opening this morning at
$500 bales, embracing 1000 for Liverpool, 1000
for Havre, and 500 for the North, which, when
deducted from the stock on hand by our
running statement yesterday evening,
leaves 94OO bales to represent the guam
tity at the landing and in presses unsold
or awaiting orders.
The Exchange reports: "Sales $50 bales,
including IS after 3 F. NJ. yesterday. Market
easier, not quotably lower"
