Cromwell and his Sons.

Writing of Cromwell's portraits, sew
eral of which are in the Royal Academy,
the London Week says:
They present q face, too, with many
traces of suffering in it, brought about
by private as we'll as public cares. for
he had lost children who we're dear to
him, especially the son of whom he said
his death went as q dagger to my
heart, indeed it did"
OF that other son, Richard, for whom
he cared far less, and who did what he
could to bring the name of Cromwell
into contempt, there is also portrait.
A weak and namby. PANTY looking per-
son, bearing out the short judgment
which Carlyle pronounces on him.
"poor idle triviality."
In less than eight months his short
lease Of power was over, but he lived.
ga little and very neat old man." till
1712, fifty-four years after his fathers
death. One day curious incident &C.
Cured.
It was in Queen Anne's reign, and
Richard Cromwell, who had gone to
Westminster to give evidence in law
suit, strolled into the House OF Lords.
A stranger, thinking he was from the
country, asked him if he had ever seen
such scene as that before.
Never" said the old man, " since l
sat In the chair" pointing to the throne.
No wonder the stranger took him for o
mailman.

Happy Thoughts.

Passing away is written on the world
and all the world contains.
Immortality opens large hope that
may overpay the most unspeakable bit
terness of life.
More people fail from o multiplicity
of talents and pretensions than from alb.
solute poverty of resources.
Let us have faith that right makes
might and dare to do our duty, for to
help is to do the work of the world.
Flowers are the sweetest thing that
God ever made and forgot to put q soul
into; they are loves truest language.
All who joy would win must share it..
Happiness was born twin. The vine
that bears too many flowers will trail
upon the ground.
He alone is wise who can accommodate
himself to all the contingencies of life;
but the fool contends, and is struggling
like swimmer against the stream.
If a man does not make new acquain.
tances as he advances through life he
will soon find himself alone. A man
should keep his friendship in constant
repair.
Cunning leads to knavery; it is but a
step from one to the other, and that
very slippery. Lying only makes the
difference; add that to cunning and it is
knavery.
Gentleness is son of mild atmos.
phere, and it enters into the child
mind like the sunshine into the rose
bud, slowly but surely expanding it
into beauty and vigor.
In the love of brave and faithful
man there is always strain OF motion
less tenderness; he gives but again those
beams of protecting fondness which
were shed on him as he lay on his
mothers knee.
Our daily familiar life is but hiding
OF ourselves from each other behind a
scene OF trivial words and deeds, and
those who sit with us at the same hearth
are often the farthest off from the deep
human soul within us, full of unspoken
evil and Enacted good.

PHOSPHATE SOAP.
THE BEST
TOILET SOAP EVER MADE.

THE BEST soap for toilet use ever man.
ufactured. BEST because it contains all the
excellencies Of the most expensive foreign
or American soaps without their defects.
BEST because it combines strength with
delicacy in such way that its strong de-
tersivc qualities do not injure the skin.
BEST because it Is the result OF years Of
study and experiment in the soap manufac-
turing business, assisted by modern chemi-
cal discoveries. BEST because 1t contains
ingredients beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap in such man
ner as to increase its saponaceous qualities.
Every chemist familiar with soap manufac-
ture knows that some ingredients which are
in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot
be saponified; some are partially neutralized,
while Others injure the quality OF the soap.
There are soaps in the market which are to
some extent beneficial to the skin, but they
are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOS-
PLATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to
the public which combines all the best ele-
ments of toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.

The Hacked Chair.

During the dark days of the Ameri-
can Revolution, the citizens of South
Carolina were much divided on the
question of separation from the mother
country. Those who aided or sympa-
thized with the British army, then in
vading the States, we're called Tories.
Many of these formed into small bands
and plundered and murdered defense.
less citizens, as the guerillas did in
Eastern Tennessee during the late
Southern rebellion.
Among the families that were visited
by these Tories was that of Robert Gas
ton, in Chester district. Robert had
come from Ireland in his youth, and
had there received the careful religious
training common in the Presbyterian
Church OF Ireland in the last century.
He was now too old for war, but his
sons were away in the Colonial army.
This latter fact made him and his
family the object of hatred to the To.
ries, who came and plundered his
premises at their pleasure, and sought
to capture him, to compel him to take
an oath of allegiance to King George
III. But Robert kept out of the Tories
way by secreting himself when they
were known to be in the neighborhood.
In the meantime he kept up family
worship in his house as regularly as
possible. One morning while engaged
in this duty, one of his daughters saw
o squad of Tories coming through the
gate into the dooryard, and at once
urged her father to flee and hide him
self.
But he answered, "Na; I am in the
Lords service, and He will TAX care O
me-"
Soon the door was thrown open, and
the Tories rushed in upon the defense.
less family, consisting of himself, his
aged wife and three daughters. OF
earthly help they had none; no carnal
weapons and no human hand to WELD
them.
Seeing Robert sitting in his high
backed chair. the leader of the squad
drew his sword and struck at him as
though intending to cleave his gray
head. But tho stroke fell on the back
of the chair, cutting deep cash in it
near to his ear. The Tory then began
to curse and to taunt Robert as his
prisoner, and boosted that he would
now take him and lay him in Camden
jail"
Robert meekly answered, "I sup
pose you will yet ha' permission"
Robert answered firmly, suppose
yon ha' permission from King George,
but he is only an earthly prince; un.
less you ha' permission from the King
of Heavens, I defy you all tc TAX me. "
Whether the cool courage of the
gray haired old man commanded the
Tories respect, or the sight OF him with
the family Bible on his knee, and man.
ifesting calm, mistaken faith in the
protecting care of God, overcame them
will never row be known; but the
Tories sat down, and after talking
quietly, as if they had been peighbors.
they went away without disturbing
anything, and left the family to con.
clude tleir devotions in peace.
It is now about one hundred years
since this event occurred. Robert Gas.
toms work was finished, and he went tc
his rest many years ago, but his worthy
example still lives.
