The Patchwork Quilt.

In sheen Of silken splendor,
With gliitering threads Of gold,
I've seen the waving mAryels
That hung in walls Of oldi
When fair hands wrought the lily,
And brave hands held the lance,
And stately Lords and ladies
Stepped through the courtly dance.
I've looked on rArr fabrics,
The wonders Of the loom,
That caught the flowers Of summer,
And captive held their blOomi
But not their Wreathing beauty,
Though fit for queens 10 wear,
Can with one household treasure,
That's all my " compare.
II has no golden value
The simple patchwork spread;
It's squares In homely fashion,
Set in with green and red;
But in those faded pieces
For me are shining bright,
All! many a summer morning,
And many a winter night.
The dewy breath Of clover,
The leaping light Of flame,
Likespells my heart came over,
As one by n l name
Thtso bits of old-time dresses
Chintz, cambria, calico
That looked 80 fresh and daint
On my darling long ago.
This violet was my mothers
/ seem to see her face,
That ever like sunshine
Lit up the shadiest place.
This buff belonged to Susan,
That scarlet spot was mine;
And Fanny wore this pearly white,
Where purple pansies shine.
l turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And l feel the lilac fragrance,
And the snowfall on the caves.
OF all my hearts possessions,
l think l least could spare
The quilt we children pieced at home,
When mother dcGr was there.

GOOD WORK,

Remembering the past, our friends will not be sur.
prised that the publishers and booksellers who do

I'M CHAINS

few centuries ago the few Biblesi in existence were
commonly chained in the churches and accessible
only to a few. Those who attempted to ;.Gg them,
translate them, and give them TO the people, had
the stake and the scatlOld for their reward. This new
version Of the Testament was completed, printed and
bound months ago in England, hut that the English
publishers might be able to monopOlizc its sale, and
make a few hundred Thousand dollars the more, IL

Law in England is such that AZ least two newspapers,
which, by some method, secured copies of portions
of il, and. published extracts, with comments, wele

small type in paper covers at ID cents per copy.
We propose TO give, with speed never before equal

APRopos of the late Yorktown celebration
and the "reminiscences of Lafayette, Aunt
Aun Barnes, venerable freedwoman of this
vicinity, gives some interesting remembran-
ces of the great mans last visit to the United
States, in 1924. She was then girl some
ten years of age in Richmond Va, and has
n very vivid recollection of his reception in
that city. He was conveyed through the
streets in fine carriage drawn by white
horses, the people thronging on every hand
and at windows and Oh the house tops to
obtain a view of him-ladies waving their
handkerchiefs, the multitude cheering,
bands of music playing, etc. Carpets were
spread for him to walk on. banquet was
given him outdoors in some public grounds
and he was not even permitted to feed him
himself. He seemed to feel quite at his
ease in the midst of these demonstrations.
1t is quite interesting to listen to the
old woman's narration of the affair, in her
own graphic manner. 1t is all to her as if
only of yesterday.
