A Prophecies COMPOUNDED.

One of the most diverting tales told
In connection with the art Of anagram
making relates to a certain Dame Elean.
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
She lived in the time Of Charles I and
was a constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself SO OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram "Reveal, o Daniel" This was
not a good anagram, as it used the app
twice and did not employ the 50" at all.
She resisted all the efforts Of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by a witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
SO complimentary to her prophetic in
sight. Dame Eleanor Davies-never
SO mad a ladiel" This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own inspiration,
and sc utterly disconnected her that NO
more was heard of her.

An Artistic Fireplace.

A fireplace invites cozy lounging
with book or magazine and agreea-
BILE conversation that has an accom-
paniment of cracking flames. An
artistic fireplace carries with it an
air of coziness and comfort beyond
the power of words to express. 1t
is set in the back of a recess, out of
the room, and has on either side an
oak seat, with cushion. The whole
back of the recess is brickwork, ex-
tending up to the ceiling. The
brickwork drops back a few courses
above the top of the fireplace, form
ing a mantel or shelf, on which may
be disposed handsome bits of china
as a decoration.
The bricks used may be the red
pressed bricks sold everywhere or
some of the handsome bricks that
are now made in soft colors, such as
gray, yellow, brown and cream.
Bricks of the same color, but vary.
ing in tone, some being a deeper
shade than others, may be used
with excellent results.

Houses In London and Berlin.

I live at Berlin in q house where
there are eight families, each Of
course inhabiting a separate part.
Only the inevitable piano practices
break through the barriers, and
that is certainly not less the case
here where the walls are so thin
than with us in our more massively
built houses. The only real differ
ence consists in this-that the "cas-
tles' of the E~nglishmen are built
up close to n another, while ours
are above one another, and that in
consequence thereof we have our
rooms all on one floor while theirs
occupy several floors. One a safe
ly assert that by far the larger num-
Der of the houses in London have
frontages of only two or at most
three windows in width. They live
on the middle floor, take their meals
on the ground floor and sleep on the
upper floor. AS a consequence there

Bret Harte,s .oyerlandn Enemv.


In The Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Charles
Warren Stoddard, describing the ap-
p~earance Of Bret Harte's 1.-The Luck Of
Roaring Camp" explains the story of
the woman who was opposed to its pub
location. There have been manyr render
ings of this incident. Mr.. Stoddard's
version is unquestionably the correct
one.
In the August number of The Over
land Monthly (1S68) appeared 1.-The
Luck of Roaring Camp" If MI. Harte
had been in doubt as to his vocation be-
fore, that doubt was now dispelled for
ever. Never was a more emphatic or
unquestionable literary success. That
success began in the composing room,
when u female compositor ~revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men,
tai force, v~irility and originality. No
doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. 1t shook the editorial and COM
posing rooms, the business office and q
limited number Of worthy people who
had seen 1.-THE Luck in manuscript as
they had never been shaken save by the
notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
airy judgment and good taste had been
~impeached, declared that 1.-THE Luck of
Roaring Camp should appear in the
very next number of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article
appeared, The Overland's success was
assured, and its editor was famous.

A Plantation Sermon That Wa Indeed a
Geographical Marvel.

N0~O0 {"
Geographical Marvel.
1t is not often that o plantation SER
mon delivered by a oolored preacher is
heard in a Boston church, but the Rev.
DR.. A. J.. Gordon once listened to such
a homily while sitting In judgment ON
the pulpit style" of a negro minister
from South Carolina.
DR.. Gordon and a committee from the
white church which supported the COL
ored mission had entered the meeting
house a little late and found the preach
er delivering his sermon ON the words
in the Eighty seventh Psalm, "And Of
Zion 1t shall be said, Tkis and that mar
was born in her," The preacher was
making clear the thought that wherever
a mans home might be, his spiritual
birthplace was in Zion. Said he:
"Let us go to de city OBJ Charleston,
an hubberin ober dat wicked city, let
us shout down to de Lords children.
'Whar IA yer born?' An dey will hol-
Ter back, 'We'se born in Zionl'
IAN den let us 60 on to Richmond an
ask dc brederen dere, 'Whar war yer
born?' An dey will say, too, 'We'se born
In Zion.
The preacher passed on from city to
city, followed by the audience, who ex-
pressed their excitement by swaying
back and forth, until he reached Green
land, and the Christians 'libbin in dat
benighted Ian" were asked, "WhaR
war yer bornP"
"An now, brederen," he continued,
"let us go to de north pole, an twinin
our legs round de pole, let us lift up
our voices an cry, 'Whar war yer born?'
An de Christians dere will shout back,
'We'se born in Zionl'
The visiting committee, who had
thought the preacher had reached the
end of his journey, were astonished.
For the preacher, after a physical, not
a rhetorical, pause-his wind had given
out-shouted, ~"Brederen, let us go on
to de east pkel"
That flight broke down the impassive
Gordon. The committee saw the self re-
straint of their usually very dignifed
pastor give way as though struck by a
glacier. He laughed and laughed, and
1t was some time before he obtained full
self control. -Yonth's Companion.
