CROMWELL'S FIRST STATUE.
An Image of Wood and Wax Carrie
Through London In 1853.

An Image of Wood and Wax Carried
Through London In 1868.
When Edward Burrough, the Quaker
"Apostle of London" whom George
Fox called his "Son of Thunder" was
passing through Charing Cross on his
way to the city, upon the "22d day of
the ninth month";" lG5S, he found the
streets crowded with people. "The
guards of soldiers, horse and foot" says
he, stayed me and stopped my horse and
said | might not pass that way. Nei-
ther, indeed, WILL" adds he, "by rea-
son of the throng of people.
When he inquired the reason of "this
thronging and pressing of multitudes, "
he was told that they all came out "only
to see dead image and invented fea-
ture, without life or breath, which would
be carried this way" 1t was not the
great Protectors body, but dead image
of wood or wax, arrayed and decked
with foolish inventions, and it twas to
be carried from place to place that day
between Somerset House and Westmin-
ster, as was usual i'll the time Of popery,
for multituGes of foolish people to gaze
upon and wonder after and admire" "
The jealous Quaker thought the statue
of Oliver Cromwell all the more an in
suit to his memory because che was
once Il great instrument in tho hands of
the Lord to break down many idola-
trous images and grievous idols. And
have they now, said my spirit, made a
costly image of him? And are such as
were once his soldiers, who pulled down
images and crosses, and all such popish-
like stuff wherever they met with it,
now guarding his image and Watching
over it, and his children and officers
following it, multitudes of the inhabit-
ants of London gazing after it? This is
sad, said l, and great pity. Is this
the end and final farewell of once noble
Oliver?''
Edward Burrough concluded that it
was "a judgement" upon Cromwell to
be thus wronged after his death, because
he had suffered the servants of the Lord
(tho Quakers) to be prosecuted and i'm
prisoned for crying against such things
as were popish. He says that Cromwell
himself would have been angry at it.
II knew the man when he was living
and had the knowledge of his spirit.
And lam persuaded if it had been asked
him in his lifetime if such an image
should be made like him, and then set
up in such a place, believe he would
have denied, say, and said, 1t shall
not be there for me, when l am dead
If it had been his bones," added the
Quaker, 81 should not have had aught
against it, whereas it was but an image
made by hands" So Burrough went
home and wrote his Testimony Against
Great Idolatry. ."-Westminster Gazette.

Irving and Stoker.

Not many know how that talented
Irishman, Mr.. Bran Stoker, came to DO
associated with the fortunes of Sir
Henry Irving. 1t was in this wise. Sir
Henry, when on visit to Dublin, was
invited to supper party, and during
the course of the evening was induced
to recite in his thrilling way "The
Dream Of Eugene Aram." One of his
auditors, young man with brilliant
reputation at Trinity college, was SO af-
fected by the tragedian's delivery that
he burst into tears Henry Irving asked
the young man to call on him the next
morning, and then and there made him
an offer, which was accepted to the mu-
tual advantage of both. The young man
was Mr.. Bran Stoker. Core

How to Clean Old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon Il fiat surface a
sheet of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned Carefully
dampen the print on both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate 1t
with mixture Of chloride of lime and
oXalic acid dissolved i'll about equal pro-
portions in pint Of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color. Continue to
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with a clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American.

THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.

w
and William Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree of doctor of medicine in 1886,
being then ~ years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of DR.. Holmes has
been more popular than "The Last
Leaf contained i'll this early collec-
ton, and none has more richly deserved
to please by its rhythmic beauty and by
its exquisite blending of humor and
pathos SO sympathetically intertwined
that we feel the lonely sadness of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quaintness SO feolingly portrayed.
DR.. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed "Thanatopsis and tho
"Lines to a WATERFOWL long before he
was 90, in that he carly attained full
development as a poet. Although each
of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs eXcelled these poems
of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis"

tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout a long life. What Bry-
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume of poems, each was to the
end of his career
To neither of them was literature
livelihod. Bryant was first "a lawyer
and then a journalist. Holmes was
first a practicing physician and then q
teacher of medicine He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays We're published
together in 1888. In 1889 he was ap-
pointed professor of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth, and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-
tion at Dartmouth and resumed practice
i'll Boston. He worked hard in his pro-
fession and contributed freely to its lit
erature, and in 1S47 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pro-
fessor of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was to hold with
great distinction for 35 years

and she bounded, roaring, almost to his
side. She crouched for final spring,
and Tarpus, sinking on one knee, and
with gladius ready, prepared to fight to
the death. The vast crowd was hushed,
awaiting breathlessly the instant when
the brute and the man would meet in
the death struggle.

AS the eyes of the Goness and the man

as if transfxed, the man lneeling, the
lioness crouching.
What had happened? Why did she not
obey the prompting of her instinct to
rend him asunder? Did some subtle,
sudden power stay her? What spell was
working? What was the bond that bound
this man and beast? Could it be that
they We're kindred souls, who We're once
together, and who recognized each other?
Who could tell?
But whatever the spell or bond it had
q strange effect upon Tarpus, for he,
with look in his face iildescribable,
stood upright, and laying his hand upon
the ioness walked over with her to the
place where Nero sat and insultcd and
reviled him. Then he became frenzied,
and called loudly for the Romans to
come and kill him-tho ioness roaring
the while.
All were amazed and terrified. Sure
ly weird, nameless happening! Their
hearts were cold with fear.
And archers were ordered out.
They killed the gladiator and the lion

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Work Easily Prosecuted In the Tumult of
Thunderstorm.

Speaking of cinches,' said the re-
tired burglar, "the easiest, softest,

house in small town in Rhode Island
There was thunderstorm coming up
as l went along toward this house, and
just as got there it began to sprinkle.

ate it comfortably, with the rain pour

like, it's to hear storm a-raginS outside
when you're settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
But here was something l hadn'
counted on. The thunder was roaring
and plunging like dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house i'll a tremble all the time.
l knew nobody could sleep in that thun-
der. They'd be sure to be all awake,
