fourteen murders and numerous robberies,

Speaking Of Guns.

The first thought of almost every one on
hearing good story is to find some one else
to whom it can be told. Some people make
few stories stand them in good stead for q
long time, and tale is told of Vermont
man who had just one story, and who told
that on every possible occasion.
1t was an excellent story, without doubt,
the story of gun which had once belonged
to friend of his and he told it well, though
perhaps it might have been improved by q
little condensation. But his anxiety to bring
forward this tale never abated. One new
listener in group of people was quite enough
to encourage him to give his "gun" story in
all its details.
1t is said that he always brought the con-
versation around to guns as soon as possible;
then he would say, "And speaking of guns
reminds me of good story" and then be-
gin his narrative
There is legend in his native town that
on one occasion number of people who
were well acquainted with this thrilling tale
endeavored to keep guns out of the CONVEX.
satlon at dinner given by club of which
he was member to distinguished visitor.
In vain the gun man tried to bring the
talk round TO his favorite weapon, and as
time went on his expression became gloomy
in the extreme. AS the guests rose from the
table at last, so the story runs, he stamped
violently on the floor as he approached the
distinguished guest, and then said, "Just q
little cramp from sitting so long, my dear sir,
but that sounded almost like gun; and,
speaking of guns reminds me"-and linking
his arm in that of the visitor, he bore him tri.
umphantly from the room to the music of his
cherished anecdote.

Out of Town.

A crippled child was taken out of the slums
in Philadelphia one summer to farm house
among the hills, where she remained for
fortnight. 1t was her first visit to the coun-
try. The next summer the farmers wife
went to the city to find the child, and to
bring her home with her But want and foul
air had conquered. She was dying.

up to her and found her weeping.

Instruction i'm Patriotism.

At the close of the first half-century of the
government, when, for instance, Webster de-
livered his eulogy of Adams and Jefferson, or
his Grafton at the foundation of the Bunker
Hill monument, there was no necessity of
considering how to deepen and stimulate the
sentiment of nationality. The vast flood of
foreign immigration with which we are fami-
liar had hardly begun to rise, and an appeal
to American patriotism touched every heart
with the same emotion. That day is passed.
The necessity and the consequent duty of in
struction in national history and of preserva-
ton of the national traditions are imperative.
The fundamental truths that there Is no liber.
ty without law, and that every form of class
legislation is anti-republican, that educated
intelligence is chief bulwark of free institu-
tions, that individual vigilance and activity
are the guarantee of political progress, must
be constantly and practically inculcated.-
