him the thing was ruin. The morrow was
account day, and al such short notice he
was unable TO meet the large difference.
So Shoddyson 4 Co. were duly declared
deiaulters, and underwent the process of
being hammered in the House.
The morning after there appeared an
authoritative denial in the morning papers
that any marriage had been arranged be-
tween Lady Sarah Hardman and Mr.. Law
renee Shoddyson, which, to be sure, was
only what people expected. The un'or-
tunate tinaueier who, it would seem, was
born to be the sport of the less amiable
members of the female sex, more than
half suspects the hand that dealt him this
blow. But he las never been able to

the boy had been fully developed.
After all the schemes bad been voiced
Augustus decided TO use more diplomatic
measures. He would write letter to Amity
Baptist Church, address 1t to Pastor
Williams and plainly ask for the freedom
of the lawn every afternoon.
Being q member of the PASTORS Bible
class, and in good standing, he had reason
to believe that his request would receive
consideration. Here is copy of the letter
of which Augustus Cesar Scott is sole
author

Now, 1t Is not to be supposed for an
instant that the Anity Baptists are going
to turn their churchyard into a colored
children's playground, and yet such a
course would not only be a sweet and
gracious condescension, but a most Christ
ian one.
Not long ago, at a Friday evening
church meeting, the subject for discussion
was: "How 10 reach the masses"
Bible classes, evening sociables, sunday

measures were prescribed and approved.

porter who was present asked permission
to say word. The privilege was granted
and the following sermon preached to the
astonished congregation:
"Throw up the church windows, throw
open the church-doors, and, first of all, hire
a staff of scrubwomen at living wages to
give the place thorough cleaning. Get
the dust and bad air all out, and for the
preservation Of health and tho prevention
of disease repeat the process weekly.
Post a placard at the entrance giving
the whole neignborhood the freedom of the
women bring their babies, their sewing or
their books and their lunches and stay in
the Lords House all day, where 1t will be
warm in Winter, cool in Summer and COM
, Portable and inviting at all times.
" Fill the fount with clean drinking
water, convert the vestry into big bath
and the study into toilet room. Put
tables in the library and pile them with
= picture books, building blocks and quiet
/ games for the children.
Gather up all the Bibles and hymnals
and substitute easy books to understand

, "Make the women and children feel al
home and several times week invite the
sewing societies to come in, take the

There were moments now when
Shoddyson found her odious-she whom
years ago he had thought the most charm
ing woman he had ever met. but with
the last decade Mrs. Winch's sharp fea-
lures had become sharper, her smile more
metallic and her hair of more startling
red, while her little youthful petulances
had developed into unvarnished tad tenn

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-02-25

The conventional Shetland pony, the ami
nal represented in picture books-namely,
about forty to forty-four inches high, very
tight jointed, and with an impossible
growth of hair all over hints just about
as bad type of this famous race as can be
well imagined From his build he is gem
orally short winded and thoroughly i'm
practicable in his PAGES. A South Main
land specimen, on the other hand, long and
rakish in build, hard grown, as the saying
is, and clean limbed, will far surpass his
companion in staying power
One of this hardy breed-in our opinion
the ideal Shetland pony--has been known
to travel from Sumburgh to Lerwick and
back the same day, with tolerably heavy
riding weight, say lifty-six miles altogether
Of extremely billy road. But, minor diff
ferences apart, there are certain character
istics-unfaihng tests in their way with
the experienced judge-which go to the
"makeup" of q Shetland, as distinguished
from an Iceland or Farce, pony--e. g., a
certain unmistakable breadth of build, set
of pasterns, and, more particularly, an
apathetic air which no other breed pos
sesses.
Your "Sheltie" is not quick animal, is
llClueu 70 nc sleepy FaUnef imam OCnerWlSe
in Lis PAGES, and is, as a rule, disposed to
do no more than he can help in the way of
eXertion, though, if put to it, he evinces
great power Of endurance, and will go
through an immense amount of work for
his size The Iceland variety is altogether
inferior, short lived, narrower in build,
and generally fallacious. but, with all this,
he is quicker, liyelier, and lacks that air of
pensiye melancholy which haunts every
Shetland pony.-Popular Science Monthly.
