Sir Christopher Wren and the Village

Carpenter.
We hear many stories Of young artists
leaving their native villages and coun-
try sweethearts to 60 to the metropolis
In quest Of fame and fortune. An in
teresting true tale Of this kind is told bv
Miss Phillimore in her recent Life of
Sir Christopher Wren. the architect of
St. Paurs Cathedral, London.
Philip Wood was village carpenter,
who had developed an uncommon skill
in Woodworking, and had made some
striking figures for the adornment of his
sweetheart's house, q lass above himself
in rank and fortune. In the hope of
improving his circumstances and thus
lessening the disparity between them,
he went to London, where he sought
work there in vain, until his store of
money was reduced to single guinea.
The huge dome of st. Paups was then
rising above the smoke of London.
Philip Wood applied to the foreman for
work in carving the wood for the inter-
ior. RepulsSd by him, he haunted the
place day after day, and at last he at
tracted the notice Of the great Sir Chris
topher himself.
What have you been used to cary
ing?" asked the architect.
The carpenter, in the extremity of his
agitation, could only stammer OUT
''Troughs, your worship"
''Troughs!' said Sir Christopher:
then carve me as specimen of your
skill . SOW and pigs Git will be some
thingin your line) and bring it to me
this day week. shall be here"
The poor fellow shrunk away from
the laughter of the workmen, and re-
turned to his lodging in despair. But
he had friend in his landlady, who ad-
vised him to take Sir Christopher at his
word, and carve the best sow and pigs
he could in the time.
I'd With his last guinea he bought block
OF pear wood, and by using his utmost
diligence finished the work in time, and
took it under his apron to the appointed
place.
The architect was there and beckoned
the trembling carpenter to approach.
Upon inspecting the beautiful work,
Sir Christopher said,-
Il engage you, young man; attend at
my office tomorrow forenoon"
A few hours after, Sir Christopher
came to the carver again and said to
him.
''Mr. Addison wishes to keep your
carving, and requests ME to give you ten
guineas for it,
Then he added
''Young man, I fear I did you some
injustice; but great national work is
entrusted to me, and it is my solemn
duty to mind that no part of the work
falls into inefficient hands. Mind and
attend me Tomorrow
It is pleasure 20 know that the
young artist did much of the fine cary
ing Of St. Paurs and married the girl of
his heart, who could not have been sor-
~ to change such q name as she had
Hannah Haybittle.
