TWEED'S FOUNTAIN HEAD.
fict"re OF the Mountain source OF Scot
lands Great River.

"A'c'"re Oh the Mountain Source OF Scot
lands Great River.
away up among the hills of the south.
ern highlands Tweed first catches the
hght OF day. 1t is an ideal spot Nature
ereets you in her sweetest simplicity.
You are In paradise land of peace.
Inc smoky city is miles distant. No
village looms in sight But one solitary
hapitation breaks the monotony. if. in
oeed, IL can be called monotony. Pas
toral solitudes stretch out on every hand.
The hills, beautifully rounded, clad in
all hues, heathered, benty, gorsy, grassy.
descend with gentle slope to the green
meadow where Tweed's we'll rises in its
cooling pool. Here at the fountain head
1t Is only some three yards round. no
more than bubbling spring-a "well'
caller, clear, lnspiring-where you may
stoop down and drink and experience in
its delightsome refreshment a thrill of
poetic rapture from a scene so gloriously
Arcadian. One is tempted to muse at
the shrine by the place of the old pill
grim cross and to read into Tweed's
source parable Of human life, with its
first pure flow unmoved by storm and
tempest, and as yet untainted by the
gathering years.
Round about Tweeds we'll there still
cling to several places certain names
that recall the historic associations of
long dead days. With the passing GEN.
turtles the whole aspect of the district
has changed. Now it is bare and tree
less waste. The wind sweeps unhindered
from farthest glen and hilltop. And yet
here the ancient forest of Caledon flour
ished, with its thousand birches and
hazels.
Here wandered :. old time Merlin,
the wild, weird. mad rumancist OF the
Tweeddale hills; Taliessin, Bard Of
the White Brow" st. Kentigern, large
souled apostle of Strathclyde, with a
missionary zeal moving him to plant
churches in the most outlying parts Of
his province; Gwenddolen, prince of the
Cymri, resolutely defending his ances-
tral Druidism; Rydderch Hazel of Ro-
man birth, hero of the new Christian
faith, and Arthur, shadowy and mystic,
with MS knights or brave renOwn, ready
to face every danger and to follow their
liege lord into all his bloody battles.
OF all these many traditions still sur
vive in the pastoral solitudes of the up
per Tweed. The wood of Caledon gave
place to a still more famous forest of
Ettrick, which embraced all the land
between the Ettrick and Tweed valleys
And that, too, disappeared.
The heather and "bent sac brown"
wave on the lonely hills. The hunts
mans horn has sounded its requiem.
The bleating of sheep, the barking of
the shepherds dogs, the whirling of the
whaup, the shrill piping of the peesweep
and the. music of the many mountain
burns as they swish downward to the
greater stream are the chief sounds that
now greet the ear. Rev W. S. Crockett

Government Marriage Dover.

Providing marriage portions for poor
young girls is the object of a govern.
ment fund in Italy. Without dover it
would be almost impossible for girl to
be married, and this form Of charity is
said to be highly appreciated, The an
nual sum available for this purpose and
distributed every year among the mar
riageable young girls is $500, 600. To be
a recipient it is necessary for the appli-
cant to prove her good reputation and
character by several witnesses, to show
that she has no means available and
that the young man who wishes to mar
ry her has a trade.

Paving Inventions.

The idea of copper toed shoes was pat
ented Jan. 8, 1858, by Maine genius,
who made 800, 900 out of it. Another
similar invention, which made great
deal of money, was the metal button fas-
tener for shoes, invented and introduced
by Heaton of Providence. AT the time
it was considered fine invention, for
the old sewed button was continually
coming off. 1t has gradually grown in
popularity since its introduction in 1869.
until now very few shoes with buttons
ON are manufactured without the Hea-
ton improvements and appliances.
