How II Girl OF the Revolution Manufac-
tured n Pair for Her Brother.
Late in the afternoon of one of the
last days of May, in the year '76, when
l was few months short of fifteen
years old, notice came to Townsend,
Mass, where my father used to live,
that fifteen soldiers were wanted, says
Mrs. Eunice Locke Richards in the
Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette.
The training band was instantly
called out and my brother, that was
next older than 1, was the one that was
selected. He did not return till late at
night when we were all in bed. When
l rose in the morning 1 found my
mother in tears, who informed me that
my brother John was to march next
day after tomorrow at sunrise. NV
father was in Boston in the Massachu-
sets assembly. Mother said that
though John was supplied with sum-
mer clothes he must suffer for winter
garments. There were at this time no
stores and no articles to be had except
such as each family could make itself
The sight of mothers tears always
brought all the hidden strength of body
and mind into action. 1 instantly
asked what garment was needed. She
replied: "Pantaloons." 'Oh, if that is
ALL" said 1. 1--WE will spin and weave
him pair before he goes.'' But
said mother, the wool is on the sleeps
back and the sheep are in the pasture
Immediately turned to younger
brother and babe him take the salt dish
and call them to the yard. Mother re-
piled: poor child, there are no sheep

said l. but you can't spin and weave
it in so short a time" 81 am certain
we can, mother" How can you weave
it? There is long web of linen in the
loom"
By this time the sound of the sheep
made me quicken my steps toward the
yard. requested my sister to bring
the wheel and cards while 1 went for
the wool. 1 went to the yard with my
brother and secured a white sheep, from
which l sheared with my loom shears

Alone on the Prairie,

The day was in that transitory state
when twilight fingers in the lap of day
and darkness struggles for the ascend
ency. The sun hung in great red ball
of lurid flame betwixt heaven and
earth; there was feeling of profound
quiet which seemed to settle on all
things animate and inanimate. The
birds, the insects, the very trees and
sprouting plants were for the moment
hushed as if in expectation of some un.
foreseen, some inexplicable something
which seemed to pervade the very at.
mosphere. A bullfrog gurgled softly as
he fell back into the limpid water
Suddenly over the brow of a distant
hill, there appeared a solitary man,
astride great bay horse; he cast one
sweeping glance around him and then
went back over the brow of the hill
again. And that same night over seven
hundred people were turned away I'M
able to gain admission to the opera
house where "She Couldn't Marry
Three" was being played to the most de-
lighted audience of the season.

MOURNED FOR HIS GIRL.
Incident Which Shows That Artists Don
Frown on Sentiment.

Incident Which Shows That Artists Don't
Frown Sentiment.
Not long ago one of our wealthy
young painters gave supper in his
studio to a number of friends in the
profession, says a New York correspond
ent of the Globe-Democrat. Among his
guests was a youthful sculptor who,
throughout the feast preserved mel
ancholy aspect that was quite incoD-
gruous in the general hilarity of the
occasion. The artists rallied the sorrow
full young man on his gloom, but
neither wit nor sarcasm could tempt a
smile into his face. He was teetotal-
Ter and refused to cheer up his droop-
ing spirits with wine. But he ate
heartily and at intervals sighed like a
furnace. The dcviled lobster was es-
pecially to his liking, and after con-
Stunning two dishes of it he extended his
plate for more.
Suddenly he gave suppressed Shrek,
dropped the plate heavily in the center
of some exquisite Sevres dishes, smash
ing them into fragments, and, running
swiftly to the lounge, threw himself
down on his face and began to groan
dolefully. The CONSERVATION of the
company may be imagined. The host
was in grief over the disaster to his
costly china, but he was still more con
cerned by the illness of his guest
Rushing to where the apparently dying
sculptor lay, he attempted to force some
brandy down the sufferers throat. One
of the painters seized pitcher of iced
water and poured it over the groaner
another tied some cracked ice in a nap
kin and tied it around the patients
head, while third dashed madly down
stairs for a physician. After being
doused with cold water, however, the
sculptor stopped groaning and protest
ed vigorously against such treatment.
81 am not ill., he muttered, mourn
fully; 81 am only homesick for my
sweetheart, who sailed for Europe yes
terday and who won't be back for three
months"
In any other assomblage such state
ment would have been greeted with in
dignant derision. But the young sculp
tors confession was regarded as a bit o.
entirely natural sentiment, and ever
the host forgot the damage to his Sevre:

century, and has been preserved from
the effects of the weather by repeated
coatings of pitch. 1t is built of pine,
and is of fantastic Romanesque design,
with strangely-carved wooden pima
cles and a great deal of carving in high
relief all over the interior of the church.
The old stone altar still stands, but the
church Is no longer used for service.
