about $4,000 each day for these
ships, and the st. Paul, St.

have been in the government

have paid the American line on
that day nearly $500, 900 for the
use of the ships.

the boys to notice his brogue, and
they made all manner of fun about
it, often mimicking it to a nicely.
Thomas stood the torture as long as
any ablebodied man could be expect

ishment for his tormentors One
day, full of wrath at an exceptional
breach on the part of a towheaded
youngster, he strobe vengefully to
the school. With much noise he
climbed the stairway in search of
the principal, to whom he had been
advised to complain. He was cour-
teously shown to that person and be-
gan to bitterly denounce the actions
of the pupils.

Ouakers and Their Hats.

There has been told in various
works the persecution to which, in
commonwealth times, George Fox,
the founder of the Society of Friends,
and his fellow Quakers were sub
jeoted because of their refusal to re-
move their hats in presence of the
civil magistrate, but the blame for
this would seem to have lain upon
the local justices rather than the
central power. Cromwell perceived
that it was easier for stupid or zeal
GUS magistrates to send Quakers to
prison for this refusal than to get
them out again, for Fox and his
Friends had almost to be implored
to leave the jails into which they
considered themselves to have been
unjustly thrust.
1t was this continual persecution
of the Quakers, in the west of Eng
land particularly, that at length
moved the council to emphatically
interfere on their behalf. In No
vember, 1867, remonstrance, sign
ed by five Friends, was presented to
the council, specially complaining of
the prosecutions at Exeter, and Hen
ry Lawrence, the president of the
council, at once forwarded a letter
to the justices of the peace, not only
in Devon, but other counties, deal
ing with the matter.-Notes and

Milton. the Puritan Artist.

His brain was not an empty con-
venticle, stored with none but the
necessaries of devotion. It was hung
round with the spoils of paganism
and garlanded with Dionysiao ivy.
Within the walls e'f his protesting
contemporaries no music had been
permitted but that of the staidest
psalmody. In the chapel of Milton s
brain, entirely devoted though it
was to Biblical form of worship,
there were flutes and trumpets to
accompany one vast commanding
organ. The popularity of Milton g
position was that among Puritans
he was an artist and yet among art
lists Puritan. -" Literature of the

AN INVOCATION.

Come on, o glad millennium of times serene
and bright,
And melt to gold the manifold and twinkling
stars of night
Let every storm rain riches and every lily's
stem
Be bent with glittering dewdrops and every
drop gem.
Tome on, o glad millennium Of times unknown
before,
When the sea shall spray its plenty Of pearls
along the shore;
When darkest night is kissed to Light, and in
the morning CLEANS
We front a smiling future and realize our
dreamsi
Come on, o glad millennium, and kiss to bloom
the dells,
And shake the sweetest music from the tin
Cling jingling bells!
Let every storm rain riches and every star o.
night
Roll down its golden treasure from happy hills
Of light.
Come on, o glad millennium The weary world
awaits
With many a rosy garland Of welcome on her
gates
Make diamonds of the daisies, while every
Ely's stem
Is bent with glittering dewdrops and every
drop gem.
