striking figures for the 0dornment Of Iii,

in rank and fortune. In the hope Of i'm.
proving his circumstances, and thus
lessening the disparity between them,
he went to London, where he sought
work in vain until his store Of money
was reduced to a single guinea.
The huge dome OF st. Paul's was then
rising above the smoke of London.
Philip Wood applied to the foreman fol-
work in carving the wood for the interior.
Repplsed by him, he haunted the place
day after day, and at last attracted tho
attention Of the great Sir Christopher
Wren himself.

The carpenter, in the extremity of his
agitation, could only stammer out:
"Tronghs, your worship"
"Troughs !" said Sir Christopher

skill n SOW and pigs--itwill be sometime
in your line-and bring to me this day

The poor fellow shrank away from the
laughter of the workmen, and returned
TO his lodging in despair. But he had
a friend in his landlady, who advised him
to take Sir Christopher at his word, and
carve the best SOW and pigs he could in
the time allotted.
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 appoistod
place.
The architect was there, and beckoncd
iie trembling carpenter to approach.
Upon inspecting the beautiful work, Sir
Christopher said
IL engage yOu, young man; attend at
my Office tomorrow
A few hours after, Sir Christopher
came to the carver and said:
."Mr. Addison wishes to keep your
carving, and requests INC to give You ten
guineas for it. Then he added ~

day that he should remain here until July
or after to finish necessary business, and
that he should then visit New York and pre-
pare for an extended summer trip. He will
probably first go to Newport where he is
expected. His remembrances of last sum-
mer are pleasant. From Newport he will go
along the New England coast, possibly in q

ton. After which he will visit one or
two points in Maine He may decide TO &C
company Senator Frye on a fishing excur-
sion. He expects to remain in New England
