From an Old MS.

Once when was in Rome l was shown
a MS, from which | copied this: There
appeared in these days man of great vir-
tue named Jesus Christ, who is yet living
among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted
for Prophet of Truth, but His disciples
call Him the Son of God. He raiseth the
dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A
man of stature somewhat tall and comely,
with very reverend countenance, ex-
pressing both love and fear. His hair is OF
the color of a chestnut, full ripe; plain to
the ears, whence downward it is more orr
ent, curling and waving about his shoul-
ders.
"In the middle of his head is a seam or
partition of his hair, after the manner OF
the Nazarites. The forehead plain and
very delicate. His face without spot or
wrinkle, beautiful with a lovely coloring.
His nose and mouth are formed as nothing
can be reprehended. His board thickish,
in color like his hair; not very long, but
forked. His look innocent and natural.
His eyes gray, clear and quick.
SIN reproving he is terrible; in admonish'
ing, very courteous and fair spoken
Pleasing in conversation, mixed with
gravity. 1t cannot be remembered that
any have seen him laugh, but many have
seen him weep. In proportion of body
most excellent His hands and arms most
delectable to behold. In living very tenn
perate, modest and wise. A man for hi
singular beauty surprising the children O.
men,"
Publius Lentulus, the writer, was presi
dent of Judea, and Tiberius Caesar. wa

with a Slight Alteration.

The streets were crowded with pedes
trians hurrying along. Among the throng
was an aged lady attired in shabby black.
From the armful of bundles, which some
kindly clerk had encircled with a strong
cord, small package, which for some time
had been slipping away from its compan.
ions, suddenly made its escape and fell
with a crash upon the dirty pavement,
bursting open and scattering a dozen
reels of thread in every direction.
Tears stood in the old lady's eyes.
Benevolent looking gentlemen passed
by, never offering to help her in her trou-
BILE and even smiling little at her di'
lemma; ladies frowned haughtily at the
little old lady in black who blocked the
way.
Just at this moment lad, not ten years
of age, passed along. His clothes were pool
and patched, but clean, and there was /
look of intelligence upon his frank, oper
face. Pressing his way to thecenter of tht
group he took in the whole situation at 1
glance, and stepping to her side he said il
u pleasant tone:
"Let me hold your bundles for you.
have grandmother ut home myself"
"Heayen bless you, my boyl" exclaine,
the grateful old lady, and STOPPING dow
she had the scattered reels up in moment
and turned to thank the noble lad, but h
was not there. Together with the armfu
of bundles he had evaporated around tn
nearest corner, and was lost amid tn
labyrinthine streets of the great city.

FIRST STORY.

lent, consisting of large reception hall
with cozy corner fireplace, which adds
comfort and cheerfulness to the whole and
makes this room useful rs sitting room.
Upon the opposite side from the entrance
is the main staircase, with inside door and
steps to cellar. A corridor leads past the
parlor and kitchen to the dining room.
This corridor is shut off from the main
hall by portieres and is separated from the
parlor by sliding doors, which afford the
opportunity of throwing it into that room
on state occasions. The dining room com
municates with the corridor and pantry
bv means of IL double hinged door, and has
sliding doors in the side next the parlor
By this arrangement it will be seen that
the greater part of the first story can be
made practically one room. The large
open fireplace in the side of the parlor and
the round bay window at the end, which
! Ia also carried up so as to make feature
| of the exterior in the second story, gives
most pleasing effect to the interior
The kitchen and pantry are in conven-
lent locations and are fitted up with mod
ern improvements. In the second story the
large chamber above the parlor is carried
up a full story in height, and is lighted BY
large windows in the bay; the other rooms
take in part Of the roof and are lighted
by dormer windows. The roof is of slate
This building was designed to face in g
northerly direction, which accounts for the
absence Of verandas. II desired, a verand
could be built across the front of the lla
by extending the main roof over as far ~
necessary. If the veraDdas were carrie,
around the parlor bay window it woult
add much to the exterior appearance O
the building.

D.v IN s.u Yorn City.

ThAak.xixinE Day In New York City.
II used to be that Thanksgiving day in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part Of the country. day which
eentered around a dinner. This dinner
was inevitable, and the families saw each
other then that never saw each other in a
group at any other time. The prOdigal
returned fnr it: the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as it pro-
gressed heavily through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward one another at that
meal than at any other of the three times
s65 other meals of the year. There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are other wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman who assented to
having a family dinner by saying, "Yes,
and let us have any family but our own!
It is an awful and solemn ceremony in
many homes, and it is made more so, as
a rule, by some one of the elder Of the
Door relations, who endeavors to enliven
the general gloom by'trying to be ''thr
life of the dinner" He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and retell the old story Of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
Il may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city this has al
changed. 1t is not that the families
around the great metropolis love eacl
other less, or that they have less cause oil
less desire to be thankful, but great and
powerful and fascinating rival has colnt
te take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only il
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else a Yale man is carrying transit, t.
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building bridge, as the Thanks
giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to se'
Princeton and Yale decide the football
championship, and instead of boring eacl
other around dinner table, grow hOars
and exhausted in shouting for their fa
vorite son or the college of their son.

A Genrria MnIa Mine.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here. The squire was fishing down
by the creek near where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he was
attracted by sound resembling the
bray of a mule coming from little cave
in the bank of the stream. The squire
commenced search and soon discovered
the ears of mule protruding above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced and several fine speci-
mems were unearthed. The squire's SON.
in-law started with one fine specimen to
q mineralogist's to have it assayed, but
it bucked and jumped with him, and,
after sending him off on voyage Of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on grazing spree IN the adjacent cow
lot. It is believed that the mine will
prove very profitable, and fodder and
corn have advanced to fifty dollars per
front foot.-Calhoun (Ga.) Times.

Some Stock Tricks.


A clerk in we'll known dry goods store
related trick common in his establish
ment. A lady asked for a certain kind of
cloth which, she said, she had been unable
to find in town. She was shown just what
she wanted, but when the price was stated
it was found too cheap, and after all not
what she desired. The clerk was obliging
and offered TO send east for what she
wanted and promised to have it here as
quick as mail and express could bring 1t.
This was satisfactory and the lady went
home. The clerk then cut the required
amount of cloth from the roll which he had
shown her, wrapped it up and placed an
old express stamp upon it. He added fifty
cents to the original costper yard, together
with the express charges, and when the
woman called for the stuff u few days later
she expressed herself delighted with the
goods and paidthe cost without murmur.
Women frequently call at the same place
and pick over pile of dry goods without
finding what they want, because the quail
ity is too cheap The same roll is taken
from right before their eyes and returned
to the shelf and Immediately brought back
with higher price on it, and then proves
very satisfactory to the purchasers. .-Ex-

A woman. Terrible Experience.

A farmer named Morrand found a
woman lying underneath tree near his
farm in st. jerome parish. She was
alive, but almost a skeleton, unable to
speak and insane. She was Matilda
Grapin, domestic. Over a month ago
she left house to 60 to church, but had
never been heard of again and was be-
heved to be dead. She had laid down
under tree where she and her dead hus-
band had often sat together She fel.
asleep and slept for two days, and when
she awoke she had lost her reason. She
wandered about the woods for. thirty
five days, and never tasted anv food.
She obtained water from brook. Sin.
she has been found she has been rational
at times and has told the above remark
able story. She is in very weak state.

The Ice Crop Threatened,

Names ice crop is seriously threatened
by drought. The water supply has been
gradually falling, until now the small
rivers are nearly dry and the larger ones
are lower than for years. In the Kenne-
bee the water has not been so low for
years. At Augusta one can easily wade
across. The Androscoggin is practically
without water, and the mills at Lewis
ton would be shut down were it not for
the fact that the lakes have been tapped
and supply thus obtained. But the
lakes are several feet lower than for
years. In the Penobscot the water is so
low that the current is not powerful
enough to keep back the tide, and the
water accor ingly is so salt that, should
winter set in suddenly, the ice would he
entirely unfit for consumption. Boston

"You know" said lively compatriot
who had recently arrived from the other
side" that the thing in England is for a
man to be quiet and monosyllabic in a
drawing room, and for the women to be
lively and amusing; that is why our women
are such a success over there. They can
talk about all sorts of things and amuse
people. On the other hand, however, the
average American man is not much cared
for.
An American at his best Is witty, en-
tertaining, versailles cOnversationist in
fine, and that is just what the smart set in
England do not like; for a young man to
be an intelligent talker Is considered al
most bad form. There may be certain
privileged individuals that hold the place
of licensed court testers, as it were, but il
is an unwritten law that the fashionable
young man should be deadly quiet, unless
he is among his intimates, when he seems
to enjoy a sort of horseplay with zest that
strikes an American as almost artless, not
to say imbecile. But introduce the same
! lively youth to a stranger, and he freezes
into solid politeness that is almost crush
ing.

Engineers on the railroads in several
parts of the state have experienced much
difficulty in running their trains on time
during the past week owing to the large
downfall Of leaves upon the tracks. The
Housatonic road has suffered most
through the long stretches of woodland
which the road passes. 1t has been i'm
possible for the section hands on the diff
ferent divisions to keep the tracks free
from them. The result is that when the
wheels of the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction is as bad as
hail, snow or ice. 1t is even worse, as
the leaves refuse to melt or freeze, but
stick to the rails until dried up.--New

rso Late with His Objections.

A marriage ceremony at Roseburg
was interrupted in a sensational manner
q few evenings ago. Charles Minkler, a
freight conductor at Woodburn, was the
groom, and Lottie Critzen, of Roseburg,
the bride. During the ceremony the of
Gciating minister asked if any one had
any reason why the ceremony should not
proceed.
A young dry goods clerk Of Roseburg,
named Mannis, stepped forward. saying
be had serious objections. He said he
wanted to see and speak with the girl
privately. He was put out of the house
and a pistol was found in his pocket. He
said he had always wanted to marry the
girl, but had never gathered courage to
tell her of his feelings. San Francisco

In the early days of the civil war the
Maine volunteer regiments were quar-
tired at Augusta several weeks after their
organization 70 be drilled aud trained be-
fore going TO the front. Many Of the sol
diers were young men from the country,
in whose pockets the bounty money burned
as long as it lasted, TO the great advantage
Of Augusta store and stable keepers.
Two soldiers came into livery stable
one morning and asked the proprietor how
much he would charge for "A team TO go TO
Waterville.
"Six dollars" was the reply.
The bargain was closed and the soldiers
drove off Toward night they returned,
and one Of them stepped into the Office and
rendered the proprietor six dollars.
"Oh, mol" he exclaimed. Your bill is
twelve dollars"
"How is that"
"Why, you asked me how much for a
team to take you to Waterville. and said
six dollars; hut you came back, didn't you'll
meant six dollars each way"
The two friends, after a little conference
paid the swindler the twelve dollars and
went away without a word.
About a week later soldier again ap
peared at the stable Office and inquired
"How much for team to Watervillep
"Six dollars" replied the proprietor, moi
recognizing the man upon whom he ha6
played so mean trick the week before.
The soldier took the team and started
off. About o'clock in the afternoon HI
appeared, on foot, and walking into th'
office, said:
"Here's your six dollars for that team
hired this morning."
But where's the teamW was the aston
ished rejoinder.
"Oh, l only hired it to go to Waterville
you know. l left it at the hotel stabl
down there. 1t cost me six dollars to brinl
it back last week, so l thought Pd return
by cars this time. It's SO much cheaper
you see," and he left the proprietor to hi
meditations about the comparative smart
ness of civilians and soldiers.

brought the report of the discovery of
On important deposit Of that rare metal
known as vanadium in the province of
Mendoza, Argentine Republic. This
metal is one of the rarest and most valu-
able known, and is used for setting dyes
in silks, ribbons, hosiery and other fine
goods. The principal source of supply,
until recently, has been small deposit
in the Ural mountains, and it has been
held as high as $1,500 per ounce. This
deposit in Mendoza will therefore be
recognized as Of great Importance. San
