IN THE STOCKS.
One of the Minor PuEishments of
Puritan Days.

one OF the Minor PHEishmentS of
Puritan Days.
One of the marked tendencies of the
present age is said to be an orerrefine-
ment of the analysis of sensation,
whether physical or mental; a habit
of regarding in moral aspect much
that was once dismissed as purely ply
steal. So, in dwelling on some of the
minor" punishmentE of Puritan days,
the mental sufferines of the unhappy
beings who were exposed to the ig-
nCminy of the market place have come
to be considered as the chief part of
their punishment. An account drawn
from an old record, however, testifes
that the physical discomforts of such
a position were by no means to be ig-
nored.
One Mr. Hubbard was sentenced in
Boston to the STOCKS, for having in
dulged in an unwarrantable fit of i'll
temper. When he had taken his seat,
under the order to remain there for the
rest of the day, there presently came
along a drove of swine, which seemed to
cast upon him those leering looks that
I
lowed, shifting at the prisoners feet, and
making feints-unpleasan approach
ing reality-of biting him. Then a
cock, mounting to the very top of the
stocks, crowed his derision upon the
victim below; and presently a rough
fellow after indulging in ugly taunts.
threw at him fetic, toadstools and dead
snake.
Then an Indian appeared, who in a
drunken rage, stimulated by some fan
| cied injury, rushed at Mr.. Hubbard with
a tomahawl1, probably intending moth
ing worse, however, than to give him a
severe, fright,-which he certainly sue
! ceeded in doing.
35e8p came from an unexpected quar-
ter; for at that moment an old buIl
came tearing down the road. His at
tention was attracted by the stocks, and
with roar he prepared for a charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage darted
off. The bull made a dash at the stocks,
and carried away the corner post, but
without even grazing the object of his
apparent wrath. Whether he was dis
gusted by the little he had accomplished
or his luminosity was thus satisfied, he
started off believing and shaking his
head, much to the relief of Mr.. Hubbard.
And then the unfortunate man was
left in comparative peace to his own
meditatiOns and the cutting sleet of
! November day.-Youth's Companion.

NIGHT ON The SHORE.

Dark is the sea and dark the sky;
The hurrying clouds drive swiftly by,
And the waves are wild tonight!
They laugh at the bird that cries on the
crag.
The seaweed from off the rocks they drag;
There is never a one that cares to lag,
And they shout in glee at their might.
Hither and thither they ever roam,
Lashing themselves to gliStening foam,
Over the black night sea-
They long to leap their rocky bound,
To seek the height where freedom is found.
To run with JOY DER the sandy mound,
And over the world to flee.
Then up and up the granite wall
They hurl themselves, but back they fail,
Down through the dizzying air.
Up with a shrek Of rage and pain,
They dash from the crest of the foaming
main,
Climbing so madly! But back again
They fall with a roar of despair.
The soul of man would sometimes leap
The environments that round it sweep,
But its bonds are set; like the mighty deep,
1t must not seek to know.
AS in tn morning the waves will lap the
shore,
The soul must be content as before.
Till the great unknown is the evermore
Which God Himself shall show.

Goldsmith Could MOI Work with an
Amanuensis.


1t is said that Goldsmith, much as
he disliked exertion and trouble. either
literary or other, was unable to avail
himself of the help of an amanuensis.

The indolent doctor was delighted
with this idea and ordered the ''clever
man, in question to be sent to him the
next day. The amanuensis arrived. and
sat, pen in hand. waiting for the dictu-
ton to begin.
Goldsmith paced the room with grekt
solemnity at first and then with rapid,
increasing disturbance of mind and fea'
lures. At last he came to a suddenhals
before the waiting scribe and thrust his
hand into his pocket.

The city OF the Little Monk.

The city of Munich is called Muench
en- in German. Before it was Muench
en- it was ''Moenchen." the diminutivt
for "moench," the German word fol
monk. so that the name of the city
signifies little monk" The name was
received 700 years ago. In the middle
of the Twelfth century a number OF
monks flying from Hungary established
a eloister and colony on the site of the
old town, and travellers used to speak
of the place as "Bei den Moenchen."

Whether the Hungarian recluse was
smaller than his Bavarian conferees or
whether it was simply an expression of
affection has not been ascertained.-

A Proposition to Censure the War
Department Killed.
Mount fCleriens. Mich. Sept. 28.-The
Methodist Episcopal conference held a
warm session yesterday over resolutions
which contained clauses approving an
Anglo-Aneriean alliance and denouncing
the War Department for incompetency in
its hospital work The alliance plank was
voted down and "a substitute which de-
clared the conference heartily in favor
of an increase of friendly feeling and re-
lation" between the two countries was
adopted
When it was proposed to modify the
clause relating to the War Department
Presiding Elder John Sweet. OF OwosSo,
made a speech, in which he said: Il per-
sonally saw at Montauk Point sights that
would be disgrace even to barbarous
country Mr.. Sweet has just lost son
and was very bitter in his opposition to
any modification of the original resolu-
ton. Several veterans of the civil war
who We're present counse1led moderation,
and as result the clause was made to
read: I'VE declare our pleasure that The
president has ordered a searching inves-
fgation into the conduct of the war, and
trust the responsibility for mismanage-
ment and incompetency will be placed
upon those who are guilty thereof.
When the substitute was passed Bishop
Andrews said he lived near Montauk
Point and added that the suffering was
less than had been stated. Elder Sweet
replied hotly that he spoke of only what
he saw
The other resolutions favor the reten-
tion of all lands captured in the war.
