MY eRFNDMoTHERs MONEY.

apartment in London, coming over a
subject for my next sketch and wonder
ing if my engagement upon a popular
illustrated paper would prove mine Of
wealth, when the letter came that show
ed me what sudden whirls fortune

lawyer in New York, and it informed
Carleton Egerton, wood designer, that
was heir to two hundred thousand dol
lars. | gasped little, looked about me

letter over again and gradually absorbed
the delightful fact.
"Your grandmother having died with
out will" the lawer wrote, "you are
sole heir to the estate"
My grandmother Far away in the
recesses Of my memory could see pic
ture of my fathers death, his funeral
and his mother, who turned my mother
and myself out of doors. She had never
cordially forgiven his marriage with a
girlswho was earning her own bread as q
milliner.
Well. we went, and we never mourn

tons, for her boy above all, and would
not open a store, but she made enough
for our simple wants and gave me a good
education. When | was twelve years

and my mother gave me a fair statement
of all the advantages that would result
from the acceptance Of this offer. But

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,

From The dust and gloomofa basement room,
Mid rollers and wheels and bands,
Where the pressman watches his busy loom
With inky face and hards; Hi,
Where The teeming press with shuddering u
throe
To the living page gives birth,
Each shiver and jar felt wide and far
Over the busy earth;
Form the dust and gloom Of this noisy room
Flashes a spirit bright
Der mountain and lea, Ger land and sea,
Winging its arrowy fight.
Der land and sea, Ser mountain and len
A motley burden II bears;
Freedom for slaves and bonds for the free,
Bright hopes and sickening fears.
Many an eye, as it comes, looks bright
That will dim when lis tale il told;
Hearts beating high as its wings fash by
Grow suddenly still and cold;
The blushing cheek fond secrets speak
As it whispers a loved ones name,
Or the smouderiug fire of hate and ire
Burst forth in consuming flame.
Down the busy street irod by hurrying feel
1t speeds on lightning wings,
And few too busy to stop and greet
The tidings that IL brings;
At the brokers' board it utiers word
That pales their cheeks with fright
Whispers freedom nigh and the exiles eve
With sudden joy is bright.
BY the dungeon drear it fingers to hear
The captive PATRIOTS groan,
Then blows a blast that shakes with fear
The despot on his throne.
Ger her babes soft sleep the young wife keeps
Her watch at evening gray,
In the glowing embers tracing the face
OF the dear one far away,
Where the wild waves dash with laundering
crash
Upon the frozen shore,
Where the dying prayer and the shrek Of de-
spair
Are drowned by the tempest's roar,
Sadly and slow does the spirit go
| The young wi!e's home to seek.
| And the scaldiug tears from widows eyes
| Fall ON an orphans cheek
Der mountain and lea, DER land and sea,
| 1t speeds with srrowy fight,
| And the earth ia famed by its freshening wing
And gows in Its spreading light;
The ow Is and the bats, with startled cry,
Whirl off to their caverns drear;
Ignorance flies with averied eyes,
| And tyranny covers in fear;
| The clanking chain is burst in twain,
And myriad voices bless
| The generous heart and mighty arm
or the Spirit OF the Press.

Edward Egglestone's "reminiscences of
his school days, published in March

word by its spelling in studying their
lessons. They all missed it widely.
spelling it in tho most ingeniously in
correct fashions. Near the foot Of the
class stood boy who had never been
able to climb up toward the head. But
of the few words he did know how to
spell, one was ''onion." When the
word was missed at the head he became
greatly excited, twisting himself into
the most ludlcrous contortions as it came
nearer and nearer to him. AT length
the ono just above the eager boy missed

he exultingly swung his hand over bis
