And saId hat brave boy avn | -
This individual was not myth, but a
real parsonage. Tradition furnishes the
following story Of the fortunate fellow !.
When Henry VII suppressed the monas-
teries, and drove the poor old monks
from their nests, the tite-deeds Of the
abbey of Nells-including the sumptuous
grange built by Abbot Bellwood-were
demanded by the commissioners. The
abbot of Glastonbury determined that he
would send them to London, and. as the
documents were very valuable, and the
road infested by thieves, it was dificu
to get them to the metropolis safely. To
accomplish this end, however, he devised
the following plan
lie ordered pie to be made-as fine a.
ever smoked on refectory table; inside
he put the documents-the finest filing a
pie ever had since pies were first made,
and he entrusted this dainty to a lad
named Horner to carry up to London to
deliver safely into the hands for whom it
was intended. But the journey was long
and the day cold, and the boy was hungry
and the pie was tempting, and the chance
OF detection was small. So the boy
broke of piece of the pie aud beheld a
parchment. He pulled it forth innocently
enough, wondering how it could have
reached there tied up in pastry, and ar
rived in town. The parcel was delivered,
but the title-deeds of Mells Abbey estate
were missing. Jack had them in hi.
pocket. These were the juiciest plums in
the pie. Great was the rage of the com
missioners; heavy the vengeance they
dealt out to the monks. Jack kept his
secret, and when pesceable times were
restored claimed the estates and received
them. Whether Mr.. Ii Jrner deserves the
title of good boy" bestowed on him by
the nursery lament, is more than doubt
ful; however, that's the story -IHited
Presbyterian.

swap lies and chewing tobacco.
Now in New York the nearest neigh

But must close, James. You can de-
cide for yourself whether the people in
New York arc sociablc enough to suit

little while. There used to be great
deal OF sociability in Now York. The
old Dutch burghers were in the habit Of

tried to borrow money from me, so you
see there are cases in the Sahara of New
York exclusiveness. There was also a
bar-keeper in the neighborhood who
seemed to be very much of a gentleman
Now that I come TO think about it
there are quite a number of very nice
people in New York that do not permit
a stranger TO feel as il he was being
neglected. A gentleman, who is de-
scendcd from one Of the old KniclSer-
booker families Of New York. called on
me regularly, about the first of the
month. He owned the hoHse In which
had rented fiat knew Of gentle
man from Texas who was visited every
day for a whole week by landlord who
was worth hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars. lie took great deal Of interest in
the exile from Texas.
I get letters and circulars almost
every day from some Of the most promi-
nent merchant princes, asking me to
call on them before buying elsewhere.
There is no stiffness about them. This
does not look as IL / was being boycotted
It is also a fact that some officials are
very snciabio with the public money.
There seems 10 be a good deal Of cor
diality among the people. and it is not
confined to our sex If you go 70
Coney Island in summer, and come
back on the last steamboat, you see
usch to convince you that naughty re-
serve is not cultivated to any great ex-
cess never saw people more sociable
in ny life for the time being. From
what read in the papers here. infer
thar some New Workers are very
s0ciabie with other mems wives.

In fact, the population OF New York,
being composed principally OF men and
women, Is not very different from peo-
pie In Tcxas. There are about ten
thousand saloons, more or less-prob-
ably more-on Manhattan Island, and,
judging from tho tablcaux OF returning
revelers seen on the streets after dark.
the whisky produces pretty much tho
same genial brand OF conviviality as
In Texas.
New York inebriatos become CON
fdenhally drunk, festoon each other
with their arms and walk on both sides
OF the street just as they do in less
favored localities. Sometimes people
are 50 sociahle that there is only one
handkerchief bctweon thcm. Still,
Jim, don't want you TO 20 70 the OK
pense Of coming to New York and then
go back and say that You were not APP
prcciatcd. Tho people arc not az
neighborly as In Texas. They do not
borrow parchod coffee OF each other,
and usually the nearest neighbors are
the most distant, which may sound
strange, but is factnevortheless.
In Texas, out on the frontier, "a mans
nearest neighbor on the bald prairie
may be five miles distant, and yet those
