Soon after the appointment of Swift 70 the
Deanery of St. Patrick's, he was Informed by
one of the Chapter that the beadle of his ca
thedral was a poet. The doctor sent for the
man, and asked him some questions respect
ing his political talents, which the other
modestly dsclaimed, saying that he wrote on
ly for his bell. The next day being the 9th
of November, The Dean insisted upon it that
he should Immediately compose some verses
suited to the occasion, when the Beadle pro-
duced the following:
nights the day, speak it with great SORROW,
That we were all t'have been blown up tomorrow;
Therefore take care of fires and candle-fght,
IT'S cold frosty morning. and so good night"

The Marquis de Caux is saic to attend the
opera every night when his wife, Adelina
Patti, sings. He sits in quiet corner, and
watches her intently while she is on the stage.
When she retires his interest flags at once,
aud he turns his attention to the house.
When the performance is over, the marquis
tells Madame Patti wherein he does not quite
like her singing or her acting. and she does
better next time, and thinks her husband
the best critic In the world. At least so says
report, and that they live very happily to-
gether. frnl aa iHfi3

added TO which, he will not be dam
aged by the live publicity which is
secured by the constant, unremit-
ting employment of the cheap col
umn advertisement, for local square
and announcement. The advertiser
should seek to keep his advertise
ments ever fresh, even If with a
change of phraselogy without a
change of merchandise. Business
men, as a general thing, who are
tirst-class business men in other re-
speets, do not seem to appreciate
the Importance of the expenditure
of little thought, a little time and
a little money every week, to their
advertising department. A bust
ness man should never let his busi-
ness get cold, and in the columns of
his local paper he can keep red hot,
and not be necessarily eXtrayagant
or reckless at that. Ifthe publisher
grows rich by itso much the better.
So much the better local press, so
much the more respectable and gilt
edged the commercial character
of his city or town, that sends forth
to the world outside live, comely,
prosperous journal. Let the think
ing business man weigh these posi-
tions in his mind, viz; That all ad
vertising is good, and advertising
judiciously in well-esta blished and
generally read newspapers is the
best"

A Narrow Escape.


Returning to Pulaski some time
since by way of the Columbia pike,
we were shown, as we approached
the bridge over Richland, the place
where DR.. Rufus White was in i'm
minent peril of his life for several
hours. 1t happened thus: In
February 1912, Drs. White and
Taylor, having passed the night
with a patient, started about day
light for home, and coming to Rich
land, found the angry water over
the banks and over the abutments
Of the bridge. In attempting to
cross, DR.. White was washed from
his horse, and being carried down
By the fearful tide, caught the bow
Of tree and held to it, dashed and
swayed by the foaming torrent,
from about sunrise until 10 o'clock
In the meantime some hundred
men had assembled and were trying
all manner of expedients for his
rescue and among other resorts
was an improyised raft which how
ever, proved of no avail, such was
the velocity Of the swollen waters
Different ones attempted to swim
to him but were washed below.
One of these made the landing on
a tall stump some rods below the
Dr., but in the exact drift of current
with his perilous position. Finally
all means Of rescue having failed,
and exhausted by the three hours
continuous clinging to the swaying
limb, chilled by the wintry waters,
the skin all peeled from the palms
Of his hands in the effort to clench
the limb amid the violent tossings
Of body by the resting flood, his
feeble grasp gave way, he hoated
off and was caught by the person
last named and drawn upon the
stump. i5
1t is somewhat remarkable. that
the DR.. survived this protracted'ex-
posure to the trigid waters, while
two of those who were subject to its
chilly contact for a few minutes
only, sickened and died.

Life.

It Was a sad cynic WHO said that
youth passes its time In wishing that
it could, and age regretting that it
didn't But it is true that all
through the first Of ogr lives we are
thinking what we will do when once
we get fairly started, and we 60 on
pleasing ourselves with these dreams
until, ali Of a sudden, We wake up TO
the fact that we have begun TO 60
down the hill, and that aow the time
to hope and plan is past, and the
time TO remember and regret has
come. We often hear of the ironiss
Of life. The saddest irony is its
