The Sharp Lord renterden.

The story of Charles Abbot has been
often told-the scrubby little boy who,
failing to become chorister, ran after
his father through the streets of Canter-
bury carrying a pewter basin, a case of
razors and a bag of hair powder. The
unpretentious dwelling whence the pair
emerged was situated in a narrow street
opposite the stately west portal of the
cathedral. and its owner, who shaved
for "A penny and cut hair for twopence,
boosted that he had thrice prepared his
grace the archbishop to deliver his trien-
NAL charge to the clergy of the diocese
A good story is told of Lord Tenter-
den, as this disappointed little choir
boy became, having one day ut his own
table asked county magistrate if he
would take venison. THANK you, my
lord, boiled chicken" was the reply.
His lordship had contracted an invet-
crate habit of keeping himself and every
body else to the precise matter in hand
THAT, sir, said the judge. lis no an
swer to my question. l now ask you
again if you will take venison, and l
will trouble you to say yes or no with
out further prevarication.
Tenterden was habitually down on
witnesses, and ON one occasion told the
chairman Of the East India company.
whom he had failed to recognize as he
entered the box, ito hold up his head
and speak out like man" The ruling
passion is sometimes strong in death,
and just "ere the weary pulse of life ut
last stood still' Lord Tenterden was
heard TO murmur to himself:
"And now, gentlemen of the jury, 1

On the grand staircase of Hatfield

two heads--bohind the features Of the
earl peers another face in much fainter

when a favorite at court. was friend

upon high rock, whence he could over
look the fields, he called Mercury to him.
Come hither, gentle shepherd boy, Z"
he cried. ''Sit here by me in the shade
of this great tree and sing me some songs
upon that instrument you carry"
Mercury complied, for this was Just
soothing tones, hoping to lull the great
giant to sleep. Then he told him stories
and talked till the sun was high in the
heavens. But. though Argpf nodded and
closed some Of his eyes, YET he was ever
watchful, and Mercury was we'll nigh In
despair.
At last he said to Argus
''Since you like so well the strains Of
music bring forth from my pipes. let
me tell you how it first came TO be made
and used. You must know, Argus, that
il is called the syrinx, as we'll as the
pandean pipes. and when you hear the
story you viii understand its meaning.
"There lived long ago here in this
beautiful land Of Greece a nymph named
Syrinx. All the satyrs and other spirits
of the woods and wind and wave loved
her and We'd with each other in gaining
her slightest smile. But she cared for
none Of her admirers. She was devoted
to Diana and the chase, and indeed she
was 80 beautiful in her activity that no
one blamed her for preferring her sport
to anything else. She might have been
taken for Diana herself, so skillful was
she and so lovely. But her difference
lay in the bow she carried. Hers was Of

and offered to make her his queen, she
feared him and fed swift as the wind.
from his entreaties. But though her
step was light and free, he gained upon
her. and just as they reached stream
Of water he was about to touch her In
her fear and terror she cried aloud to
her friends for aid, and in moment her
form was changed. Pan found that his
arms encircled tuft of reeds by the
stream. and as he sighed. soft and sweet
music breathed through the hollow
stalks. With cry Of joy he then said !;
Thus at least you shall be mine,
beautiful Syrinx. And cutting the reeds
he followed and dried them, and fasten-
ing them together of different lengths
produced this instrument which he
named in honor of the lost nymph.
While Mercury was still talking he
saw Argus bow his head. All of his
hundred eyes were sleeping. With one
stroke Mercury cut off his head, which
rolled down the rocks with tremendous
crash. Then 10 was set free.
But Juno was not content with that
revenge. She first honored the faithful
Argus by placing his watchful eyes in
the tails of her peacocks, where to this
day they may be seen. Then she sent
gadhy to torment 10, who. to escape it,
fed over the whole world. The Ionian
sea, through which she passed, was
named for her
AT last, worn ont and exhausted, she
reached the banks Of the Nile, and Ju-
piter in pity begged Juno to give her
back her form. This the goddess did,
and 10 was restored to Inachus and her
sisters, young and beautiful to look up
on as when first we met her by her ma
tive stream. Edward Courtney in Phil

Is from stone that the earthly portions

other, and in some cases the most i'm
