Henry Clay's Poverty.

Mr.. Clay had large anu expensive
family, and he keenly felt his poverty,
while he lost no opportunity OF ex.
pressing his gratitude to friends, known
and unknown, for all kinds Of favors.
The day upon which Mr. Webster made
his celebrated speech, in March, 1850,
he was highly eulogizing it at dinner.
when some one asked him il lie did not
think Mr.. Webstof's influence had been
greatly impaired by his allowing GER
tain wealthy men in Massachusetts, to
settle an annuity upon him for abandon.
ing his practice in the courts SO as to
devote more time to public affairs. Mr..
Clay responded "In view OF the man.
ner in which my note was paid at the
bank at Kentucky, 1 do not think l
ought to speak upon that subject. With
difficulty had raised the money to pay
the interest when went to the bank to

"In view Of my many opponents, l am
ss thankful for the secrecy as the money;
but, when l am free from public life,
am going to insist upon knowing who
were such benefactors." When some
one said: 'Mr. Clay, your friends will
never let you be free from public life."
'In that view. gentlemen" said he,
'bear witness to my inexpressible graft
tude to my friends, not only for their
favor, but for their manner OF bestow wing
it," adding that there was but one un-
pleasant thing about it, that it was the
only present that he had ever received
that he could not divide with his
friends. Here Jddge Conrad observed:

literally divided the proceeds before
you gave the note" "You ar, right"

The Story of n iilock cfCrai,

From time to time individual trees
died and fell to the earth; paris decayed,
decomposition, and gradually covered
the surface with layer of dead vegeta-
bic matter that was afterward to become
seam of coal. Among the less perish
able parts were the bark, and notably
the spores, whose resinous nature kept
them dry and enabled them to delay the
action of water, that "sore decayor Of
your dead body"
And now the machinery comes into
play by which this embryo coal-seam ia
is to be sealed up and kept safe for use
on some far distant day. The land be.
gins to sink slowly, and basin is form.
ed that catches the water OF tho rivers
which flow down from the surrounding
highlands. A lake arises, and into ii
the stream rolls down mud and sand;
these are spread out in sheets snd piled
up in banks on tho layer of dead plants;
still the land goes down, and more and
more sand and mud ia epfead over the
bottom OF the water; now and again,
during heavy storms, the sea bursts
through the barriers that hold it back
and floods the area; and then, after a
while, the breach is repaired, and the
At length the sinking of the land
stops, sandy shoals and banks of mud
rise from beneath tho water and lift
their heads in every direction, till
swampy flat is established day enough
to permit OF the growth of second
jungle and the accumulation OF the ma.
terials for second seam of coal. Afte,
while sinking sets in afresh, AID our
escond coal bed is buried beneath piles
Of sand and mud. And 20 tho process
goes on; during each period of rest a
sheet of dead plates accumulates over
the fiat, and during the period of sub
sidence which follows this is covered up
by deposits OF mud and sand. The
weight piled over it congresses the
peaty sheet, and chemical changes go
on which in the end turn it into coal.
Afterward earth movements bring it up
from the depths to which it has been
carried down, portion OF the rocks
which once covered it is stripped off by
the action Of running water, and it is
placed within the reach OF man.

A Roman Convent.

The Order of the Buried Alive, in
Rome, the Convent OF the Sepolte Vive,
is q remnant Of the lei ,ile ages in the
life of to-day. The London Qt.een's
correspondent had the privilege of an
entrance within one aitei another OF
the five iron doors, and talking with the
mother superior through the thick
swathing OF woolen veil, but ordinary
communication with the convent is car
rieh on through the " BARREL" which
fills an opening in the wall. Over the
barrel is written, "Who will live con-
tented within these walls let her leave
at the gate every earthly care" You

of an orange from which one OF the
quarters has been cut. You speak to
the invisible sister who asks your will;
and she answers you in good Italian
and cultivated intonation. You hear
the voice quite distinctly, but as if it
were far, far away. She is really sepa-
rated from you by only slender slice OF
wood, but she is absolutely invisible.
Not the smallest ray of light, not the
smallest ohink, is visible between you
and her. Sound travels through the
barrier, but sight is absolutely ex-
cluded. These nuns live on charity,
keeping two Lents in the year-one
from November to Christmas, the other
the ordinary Lent Of Catholic Chris
tendon. Living, therefore, on charity,
they may eat whatever is given to them,
saving always "fiesh-meat"' during the
fasting time. II you take them cake
or loaf OF bread, bottle Of wine, a
roll OF chocolate, bonbons, basket Of
eggs, it is all good for them. They
must be absolutely without food for
twenty four hours before they may ask
help from the outside world. And
when they have looked starvation in the
face, then they may ring bell, which
means "Help us, We are famishing."
Perhaps you take them nothing eatable,
but you place on the ledge of the cut
orange, by which you sit, some money.

or little papers. The barrel turns
slowly round, then back again, andyou
find on the ledge where you had laid

are very small, thin, light-printed slips,
neatly folded in tiny packets, three to
each packet; which, if you swallow in
faith will euro you OF oil diseases. AT
ter your talk is ended the barrel turns
round once more and presents its face
as of an immovable and impenetrablo-
looking barrier.
One of tho traditions Of Rome is that
each sister has her day, when she
throws a flower over the convent wall
as a sign to her watching friends that
she is still alive. When sbe has been
gathered to the majority the flower is
not thrown and the veil has fallen
forever.

Where are there no cranks There

people. 1t is fine old name, but the
woman who bears it is SO eccentric that
she would not be tolerated for an instant

She dresses like u guy. and behaves

A Train Robbers Confession.

The confession OF John Land, the
Missouri train robber, is in substance
that he is well.digger by trade. He
was approached by two men who pro.
posed the train robbing to him. He
thus continues:
AS near as Can Judge, it was lit

down my rifle, and, slipping out in my
sock-feet, got away without rousing
any OF the family. Upon arriving at
the cut l gave the signal agreed upon.
1t was answered, and stepr cd forward
and was met by Jesse James. All the
members Of the old gang were there
six OF them--and Armstrong and Deer
duff, whom l knew before, and who
had joined the regular gang a short
time before but l was the only one of
the neighborhood boys who had got
there. Shortly after Creed Chapman
and John Bugler gave the signal and
came in; following them came John Mott
alone. Pretty soon the train was heard
coming, and Jesse said Bows. we who
are older hands at the business will
stop the train, go through the cars, and
get what there is there. You fellows

Jesse stood upon pile OF rocks on the
track swinging lantern. and the train
came to stop within few feet OF the
obstruction. Captain John Bulger and
myself stood on - south side Of the
track. while John Mott and two others
were on the other side. The first thing
they did was to break into the express
car. We all had on white masks, and as
began at once to fire, and the excite
ment rose, did not notice who it was
who went into the cars. Before We had
been long at work saw a man come
from the train with lantern and start
to run east. John Bulger called out:
