plate myself alone" 1T would need the
pen of Hawthorne to do justice to such
a history; but it is not history that
one can covet, though old Waldeck ap-
pears to have found very little of the sad
ness in it that Hawthorne would have
dwelt upon. But Waldeck was Partisan,
and cosmopolite.
Moving Day.
Says the Danbury News: One of the
most disastrous elements in moving is
small bov with an inspiring disposition.
Ii he carries anything, it must be chair,
which he takes on his head with the back
to the front, so as to prevent him from
seeing where he is going, and, with the
erect legs in range of the chandelier and
upper door castings. Thus equipped, he
strikes military step, impriovising his
mouth into trumpet, and starts out. In
less than quarter Of an hour he has that
chair safely on the cart where it is not
wanted, and is hurrying back after an
other. Before the carman has returned
for the second load, the one boy had de-
veloped into eight, each boy with chair,
each boy under feet, and each boy max
| ing as much noise as planning mill on
damp day. If a boy can't get chair to
carry he wants two bed posts. He wants
two SO he can carry one under each arm.
Then he starts down stairs. First the
posts cross each other at tie front and
nearly throw him down, then they cross
at the back, the front ends fly OH at q
tangent, one of them digging into the cal.
cimined wall, and the other entangling in
the banis;ers. But he won't let one Of
them 20, but hangs on to both with exas'
perating obstinacy. In the meantime the
carman, who is working by the load and
not by the day, is waiting At the foot Of
the stairs, and wishing that he had that
bow back Of the Rocky mountains fol

father. with straw bed in his arms ant
his ewes full of dust is at the head Of the
stairs waiting to come down. and vocifer

dust from the tick gets into his THROAT
and precipitates him into violent 1T o
coughing. By the time the third load
