Rest for the Mind.

Bells.

The invention Of bells is attributed to
polonius, Bishop of NoA, Campania,
about the year 400. They were first
introduced into churches rs Q defense
against thunder and lightning; they
were first put up 10 Oroyland Abbey,
Lilconshire, England, in 94b. In the
eleventh century, and later, it was the
custom to baptile them in the churches
before they were used. The ourfsw
bell was established in 1913. 1t was
rung at eight in tho evening, when
people we're obliged to put out their
|Sros and candles. The custom was
abolished in 100. Bellmen we're ap.
pointed in London in 1866, to ring the
bells at night, and cry out: "Taks
care Of your FIRE and candle, be charita-
bic to tho poor, and pray for the

A Romantic Story About Mrs.
Pickens.

The White Sulphur Springt CORE
spoudsnt of the Lousvflle 6burier-'
Journal relates very picturesque
story regarding tho widow Of Governor
Pickens, of South Carolina, which pur-
ports to give the facts on good authority ::
She was very much grioved,' says this
correspondent, calmly, sat newspaper
article concerning herself, which spoke
of her accepting Governor Pickens on
condition that he obtained foreign
mission. She said that it seemed 70,
mercenary and calculating in girl Of
eighteen. The truth was that she vas
only child, and the mission to Rus'
sia was the mothers objection to the
marriage. Governor Pickens was re.
jec,ed, and had taken his passage for
Europe. He wrote farewell letter to
his lady-love; but, before concluding,
said that it Was not too late, for if she
would telegraph him after receiving the
letter, and accept his proposals., he
would meet her in New Orleans, snd ~
the steamer sail without him. She y
accept, and . few weeks a!terward they
sailed together as man and wife. The
marriage proved happy, nothing but
the war interrupting the course OF true
love. Governor and Mrs. Pickens re-
turned to South Carolina about the
time that State secodsd. During their
residence in Europe they had made
many purchases Of pictures, statuary,
furniture rare laces and jewels. These
arrived at the port Of New York 10 .

Everything was confscated. Among

the war was over sent them to the own-
ers in South Carolina."

Yet will mine eyes o'crnow with tears

Or watch my stepsin love!

Then viii heed my mothers voice,

Thus cheer her latest day;

As-come full soon it must,
May her dear angel form receive
