Tennessee property, real and rer~

100000 less than last year. Appar-

The processes of nature are always

sity singers. Before leaving the burn
ing steamer and committing himself to
the merciless. waves, he carefully fast
cned upon himself and wife lifc-prc-
servers. Some n cruelty dragged
away that of the wife, leaving her with
out hope, except as she could cling To
her husband. This she did, placing her
hands firmly on his shoulders and rest
ing there until her strength becoming
exhausted, she said: Il cant hold no
longer!' 'sTry a little longer was
the response of the weary and agonized
husband. '.let us sing Rock of Ages"
And as those sweet strains fioated owe

of the sinking and dying, little did they
know, those sweet singers of Israel,
whom they comforted.
But loi as they sang, one after another
Of those exhausted ones were seen
raising there heads above tho over

effort in this sweet, dying, pleading
prayer:
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself In thee.
With the song seemed to come strength;
another and yet another was encouraged
to renewed effort. Soon in the distance
a boat was seen approaching! Singing
still, they tried. and soon with super
human strength laid hold of the life

A Single Word.
grd2ll,

The following anecdote illustrates
Moore's painstaking efforts to put the
right word in the right place:
He was on visit to literary friend
in France. and while there wrote short
poem. One day the two took stroll in
in an adjacent wood, and the host per-
ceived that his companion was given up
to his own thoughts. By-and.by he be-
gan to gnaw the finger tips of his glove,
and when this had gone on for 10 ng
time his friend ventured to ask him
what was the trouble. "Ill tell you"
said Moore, 81 have left at home. on
my table, poem in which is word /
do not like" He repeated the line and
asked his friend if he could help him.
The twain cudgelled their brain until
they reached the house, without avail.
The rest of the day, ever and anon,
Moore would sink into silent fits in
pursuit of the absent word. The poet
went to bed in deep study. The fol
lowing morning was bright and beauti-
full and Moore came bounding down
from his chamber with scrap of paper
in his hand and a glorious light in his
countenance. The word had come He
had awakened in the night-the genius
of inspiration had visited his pillow; he
got up and tore scrap from his note
book, and by the light of the moon had
made the thought secure. There, he
said, when he had incorporated it into
the text, "there it is--only single
word. and yet it cost me twelve hours
of unhagging labor to find it and put it
where it is.
