Old Colonial Mansions.

Bucks county is full of old colo.
NAL mansions which still stand as
monuments of the stirring times of
long ago and as mute testimonials
to the careful building of our fore
fathers. In upper Wakefield is still
standing the mansion first occupied
by Samuel Merrick and built by hin
in IVA. This mansion, which rests
upon the southern slope of a small
hlllock known as Jericho hill, form
ed the headquarters of General
Greene in December, 1776, and from
this spot he began his march with
the army against the Hessians at
Trenton on the memorable Christ
mas day of that year.
Across two fields to the west from
the Merrick mansion is the Keith
House, where Washington had his
headquarters from Dec. IA to Dec.
25, and over Jericho hill to the north
is the old Chapman residence, where
General Knox and Alexander Ham
ilton were quartered during the same
period. Besides the Keith House
Washington had his headquarters in
three other dwellings in the county
tho Harris House, Newtown; the
Barclay House, Morrisvil1e, and the
Moland House, near Huntsville on
the Neshaminy creek. In the latter
house Lafayette first reported for
duty in the continental army and
under its roof first took his seat at
the council board - Philadelphia

NapoleoH,s Birthplace.

A correspondent sends us the fol-
lowing account of Corsica: I'VE love
the country and the people, but the
country is as wild as the interior of
Africa, with variable climate. Dirt
exists to such degree that you can
not walk a step without stepping
into filth. Stencil prevails in every
corner, even in the street of Ajaccio
leading to Napoleon's birthplace. In
country inns no sanitary arrange
ments exist whatever, and you get
nothing to cat unless you telegraph
the day before. Brigands are rare
indeed, but you must have no quar-
rel with any man or even look at
him disapprovingly, O., he gets mad
with anger and then beware sci.
the country is marvelously beauti-
full, and a trip in the latter part of
March, in April or early in May will
repay all incredible inconvenience
and horrors. London News.

We replied that times were hard and

THE MOTH AND T4E WORM.
Wis an old allagortcal saving.

IT'S an old allegorical saying,
Which hope in all ages has spread,
That the soul, like bloomy winged miller,
Cnfolds from a chrysalis dead
All, flin would l yield TO this fancy,
This miracle sequence Of birth,
For hold that tie souls dearest treasure
Will be its remembrance of earth
And, Oh, there's doubt that assails me,
Whatever my priest may affirm
Does the butterfly, tank you, remember
The days when it crawled as a worm2
What is life but season for loving?
What IS self but the essence of years
Distilled from the blossoms Of pleasure,
INFUSED in moisture of tears2
What avail to inherit the ages
With naught of the struggle before2
To know that my love shall not perish,
Yet shall behold her no more?
What avail were this fretting and striving
If memory vanish with breath,
When love is the priest of the living
And hope the apostle Of deathp
What matter a faraway morning
II memory end with today?
'Twere. as well to face death everlasting
As a past to be blotted away
You may pirate Of an infinite future;
You may dream Of those cons of bliss,
But the ''home of the soul' were failure
Without recollection Of this
am selfish because am human.
want not part, but the whole;
And tell you that only tyrant
Could blot out the past from the soul.

HIS FATAL ERROR.
Arabella Was Late and Direful COHsa-
Guences Ensueu,

She WAS visiting her married sister, and
young Mr.. Buncome was extremely anx-
lous to win the golden opinion of this
sister and so obtain IA clean parlor for his
courtship. 1t was this desire which lured
him beyond his conversational depths and
proved the shipwreck Of his hopes.
81 suppose you are fond of babies, Mr..
Buncome?' observed his hostess, who was
entertaining him while her sister was up
stairs putting on her hat.
"Oh-that is-cXtremely so. They
they are $3.50 innOcent-yOu know
Indeed they are, Mr.. Buncome. You
are Il real child lover, l CAL see. l want
you to sec my baby before you go. l am
expecting it home at any now
You see, l was going to a reception last
night, and the dear little things godmoth-
or volunteered to keep it for me-"
"Ah-ah, delighted, I'm sure" MUIR
INJURED the terrified young man. cav
that is, they-they seem almost like beings
from another world. IL scarcely dare to
touch one of them"
Dear baby will go to you at once, I am
sure, Mr.. Buncome. l never saw a baby
less afraid of strangers and so willing to
kiss them too"
Drops of pcrspiration stood out on Mr..
Buncome's brow. II have IL slight cold to-
day, and l once read that one should never
kiss a child under such circumstances. I
have never lone such a thing since then,
l assure you"
"Ah, you are indeed a rare child lover,
Mr.. Buncome. My baby is so good, too,
and scarcely ever cries-in the daytime,
that is"
Very nice indeed, I'm sure. Babies
are $3.50 different about that, you know.
Why, a little friend in the next room at
the hotel kept me awake IL hours last
night"
Perhaps the poor little thing was i'll,
MIR. Buncome. Now, ny baby is not at
all like Others. What do you think of a
baby that Is so sensible it will not really
cry loudly for fear of disturbing others!
Yet that is just what my baby does, though
l can never get my husband to acknowl
edge it,"
"Ah, perhaps he does not really appre
ciate the little angel. Now, if he had onl,
heard that little bowler last night Ia,

The hall light was turned low, and the

He gave the door a confident jerk, but
the latch failed to respond. He tried it
again, with the same result. He had open

know how now. He tried again and again,
with the same result-no result. She
