ALPHABET OF PROVERBS.

A grain of produce is worth a

Boosters are cousinS to liars.
Confession of a fault makes half

Denying fault doubles it.
Envy shooteth at others and
woundeth herself.
Foolish fear doubles danger.

1t costs more to revenge our

Knavery is the worst of trades.
Learning makes a man 6t com

Modesty is a guard to virtue.
Not to hear conscience is the way

one in which sat a young lady, for
whom be conceived a sudden and
violent passion, was desirous OF

verse of the Third Epistle of John.

A Story Of TyIsr's Second Marriage.

There is a story which Henry a.
Wise tells in his book on Tyler as
to how Tyler announced to him his
intention to marry Miss Gardiner.
Cleveland IS forty.niDe and Miss
Folsom twenty.three. Tyler was
ffty.four at the time of his second
marriage and Julia Gardiner not
out of her teens. Wise says that
Tyler took him ont for ride In
March, 1914, about the hills of Wash
ington, and that they had not driven
far before he discovered that Presi-
dent Tyler turned aside all allusion
to politics and showed signs of Sc
crets more sacred and tender. AT
ter many contortions he got it out
at last that he thought of marrying,
and he wanted to know Wise's Opin-
ion on the subject. Wise said:
"Well Mr.. President, | suppose,
of course, you have found some hon
ored dame of dignity who can bring
grace to the White House and add
to Your domestic comfort !"
go, no dame," replied the Presi-
dent; "but a sweet damsel''
"Who, pray, or damsel degree
reioined Wise, "could or should an
old President win?'
AS Tyler replied that he was 60
ing to marry Julia Gardiner, Wise
was very much surprised and he
plainly told President Tyler that
such a marriage was very impru-
dent for him and that he was too
Old.
"Poob y said Tyler, "why, my
dear sir, | am just in my prime
"Ah ~ returned Wise, "but has
John Y. Mason never told you
about friend of his, rich and full
of acres, calling his Africa waiter,
! Tony, into council upon the tender
topic of his marrying a miss in her
teensg Tony shook his head and
said, Massa, you think you can
stand that p 'Yes, Tony, why not
| She is so sweet, so beautiful, that
she could make me rise from a bed
of illness and weakness to WOO hel

and | can now as well as | evel
could make her happy 'Yes, bal
Massa,' said Tony, you is now II

The same question might be pu'
to President Cleveland.

Our liberty, property, ourselves and our
friends"
Another stanza Of this singular
production is as follows:
George the Third Of Great Britain no
more shall lie reign,
With unlimited sway DER these free States
again;
Lord North nor old Bull nor none Of their
clan
Shall ever be honored by an American"
The ninth and last stanza OF this
patriotic ditty is the following;
"May heaven smile on us in all our en-
deavors,
Safe guard our seaports, our towns asa
our rivers;
Keep ms from invaders by land an2 by sea,
And from all who'd deprive rs cs our lib
erty.
The British and Hcssian troops,
who were then encamped on Staten
Island, heard Of the oyerturn Of the
Kings statue in Bowling Green,
and prepared a retort by construct
ing life-size efligies Of the three
generals, Washington, Lee and Put
nam, and DIR. WitherspOon, Presi-
dent of Princeton College. The
four figures we're placed upon a
pile of fagots, the three generals
facing President WitherspoOn, who
was in the act Of reading to
them the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence.
All of the figures, except that of
General Washington, had been Gov
cred with tar, when violent storm
came on, which obliged the troops
to run for shelter. In the evening,
when the storm had blown over,
the figures we're set on fire, and all
were consumed, excepting alone
the untarred figure Of General
Washington. This was accounted
a mysterious and menacing prod
igy.
The Hessians in particular were
said to be filled with terror, not
being aware of the interruption
which had prevented the cOmman-
der.in chief from being made com
bustlbIe. 1t was not until the Brit
ish officers had fully explained tC
the Hessians the cause of the gen
erals escape from the confagratiOr
that their fears were quieted.
Soldiers will have their joke
Not many days elapsed, however
before the work ofthe campaign be
came serious enough. During the
remaining years Of the struggle, thu
Fourth of July was duly celebrated
wherever there was a detachment
of soldiers or a company of people
