paper, that he had come into possession of a
box Of valuable manuscripts, some IF them
unpublished poems of the immortal E. A.

the hands put to work. and it was only
short time until the whole wreck was put
in order. During the time, though she
saw one of the hands trying to play OF, and
Immediately took her pocketbook out and
paid him and told him to quit This he did
not like to do, but the othe- hands forced
him. When one Of the hands does not do
his duty, she at once pays him up and ships
him. 1t is said she is very lavish with
money, and Athens will probable be much
better of financially, that she has taken the
construction Of the road in hand This is
something, though, that the people down
this way seldom see.
