A GOOd.Natured Giant,

Sir Bevil Granville, Of Cornwall, who
nearly ruined his estate and sacrificed
his life for Charles l., had for his serv-
ing. man giant. His name was Anthony
Payne, and he measured, when eboe-
less, seven feet and four inches. Though
gifted with a giants strength, he did
not use it like giant, but like good
natured fellow, for nature had put a
good heart into his large body. Thefollow.
ing anecdots illustrates the mans kindly
nature:
One Christmas eve, the fire languished
in the hall at Stowe. A boy with an ass
had been sent to the woods for logs, but
had loitered on his way.
Lady Grace Granville, the mistress,
lost her patience, and the gigantic An
tbonv went in quest of the lazy lad.
Shortly after he re-entered the hall,
bearing on his back the ass loaded with
the wood. Throwing down bis burden
at the hearth-side, he shouted:
"Ass and fardel! ass and fardel for ny
lady's yule!'
As Sir Bevil rode into Stratton one
day, he heard an uproar in the inn-yard,
and told his giant to find out the cause.
In few minutes Anthony came up to
his master, With man under each arm,
whom he had caught in the act of fight
ing.
"Here are the kittens!" said the giant,
as he held them for his master to chas-
tise with his riding-whip.
After the battle of Stamford Hill, the
giant was busy during the night, with
other soldiers, in burying the dead. Tren.
ches had been dug to hold the bodies side
by side.
The soldiers had laid nine corpses in
one trench, and Anthony was bringing
another, tucked under his arm. All at
| once the supposed dead man began to
plead for his life.
"Sure]y you won't bury me, Mr..
Payne, before I am dead?"
II tell thee, man, was the grim re-
pIy, "our trench was dug for ten, and
there's nine in it already; thou must
take thy place"
"But I bean't dead, I say" exclaimed
the man, kicking, to prove his assertion.
81 haven't done living yet, be marsy-
full Mr.. Payne; don't ye hurry poor fel'
low into the earth before his time."
II won't hurry thee; thou canst die at
thy leisure"
But the giants purpose was kinder
than his speech. He carried the suppl
ant to his own cottage, where the nurs
ing of his wise brought him into health.
The mans deecendants are among the
principal inhabitants of Stratton at thii
day. .... -. - ...:.....

THE SINGER.
BY HERBERT f. CLARKE.

Iece the plumed knights to battle ride,
And my heart bounds to martial music strong;
I hear the orator denouncing wrong,
And hail him my souls star and staff and guide;
Then two young lovers wandering side bv side
And hand in hand Life sinuous path along
Fill me with Loves delight and amorous song,
And maddening ecstacy of Youths spring-tide.
The plumes and pennons vanish from my sight;
The voice dies in the div tance; and, behold,
Those lovers have been swallowed up of night.
linger lonely in the darkness cold;
slay no wrong, in no great cause fight;
And no one kisses me; and grow old.

A PAIR OF JACKS.
One of Them Plays His Hand, and
the Other Sleeps Beneath
the Daisies.

In North Sedalia a once happy famil,
is on the eve Of q grand split-up. Jacl
Kelly is lord OF the mansion, while Szrai
is the accomplished lady of the house
These parties NAV have once been white
but summers sunshine and prairie breeze
; have soiied their complications aud changed
the color to lovely sa ron. But wha
has color to do with the domestic trouble.
Of Jack and Sarah : BE they white. b.acl
or mulatto, the trouble has come all tn,
same, and the cause, SO far as the BAzo<
mar could learn, will forthwith be mar
rated.
Now, to begin with, J ack and Sarah were
not the only members of the family, and
this third inmate. is partly the cause of IN.
trouble. Jack is lazy and spendthrift
which, also, cuts figure in the case. liz
works occasionally, bat Sarah saws she
never enjoys the fruits of his labor, and
has to delve away to make money With
which to purchase bread and meat.
But to return to the third party to thi.
transaction, and not knowing his name
we will Gail him Jack, also. But he was
a much more faithful Jack than his hon.
ored namesake.
Now the particular vocation Of Mary
was hauling slops whic,, she sold to people
who possessed hungry swine. Surely Their.
was nothing wrong ABOUT this. bu. then
Sarah could not do her work alone So
she bought her cart, and the party whose
name the reporter don't know, but which
has also been sty.ed Jack, WAS the ever
faithful puller OF Mary's cart Everything
ran along smoothly until Jack, the hus-
band, commenced to get Jealous OF Jack.;he
faithful. and strange 10 say, L e affections
Of Sarah were more freely bestowed upon
Jack, the faithful, than Jack, the husband
A Jealous husband sometimes loses his bal
ance, and in the heat of passion, does that
which he is sorry for In the future, and this
was the way this tronble turned out
Yes, murder has been committed. and
poor Jack the faithful sleeps the sleep that
knows NO waking. He hiss crossed the
river and now wears n crown i'm honor oi
his good deeds down herein the city ce-
le.;ial and Sarah weeps al his absence.
BBt where is Jack the husbandy Alas.
he has home In the Peiiis county Jail,
and is held 20 answer before the court of
Squire OBrien Monday for the charge Of
murder he has committed. and if he gets
through with that in safety, Sarah Mil in
stitute suit for divorce against Jack the
husband because he was cruel "a Jack the
faithful.
At the preliminary trial of the murderer,
Monday, everything connected With the
case will be In court except the departed
spirit of the Jackson that Mss dubbed To
death hy Jack the husband, and the famil-
Jar old cart that always followed near at
his heels.
