No matter how good and we'll cooked and

Senator Bate of Tennessee told the
following anecdote of Colonel Tom
Sumter: Sumter was a great big giant
of fellow, with a voice like fog
horn. 1t is said his "holler' could be
heard for miles. On one occasion when
he was off ON foray the Tories came
and captured his wife, Molly, and
stripped the plantation of everything
When "Old Tom" came home and found
Molly gone, his rage knew no bounds
Gathering together such forces as he
could he put after the Tories He over
took them on the third day and hung
about until midnight Then he deploy-
ed his forces around the camp and told
them to await his orders to fire. He was
afraid of Molly being shot in the melee
SO when he got everything ready he
opened his big mouth and let out yell
that fairly made the earth tremble:
Lay down, Molly Lay down, Molly
and Molly, recognizing those stentorian
tones, fell prone on her face, and after
the last "Lay down, Molly!" came the
command fire and charge. Molly was
recaptured without hurt.

English children are kept in the

frequently than do American children.
Mamma is to them a sweet presiding

DEATHS FERRYMAN.
/ am a ferryman. old and gray.

/ am ferryman old and gray,
And the river is deep and wide,
And whosoe'er crosses by night or by day
Can never return, but forever and aye
Must remain on the other side
The waters are cold, and the current is swift
And the nists hang heavy and chill,
And backward and forward they slowly drift
With never n break, and they never lift,
Though they seem to be never still
The heavens are dark. md the course Is long.
But my boat is stanch and true,
And the waves are rough but my arm is strong
And safely ferry the ghostly throng
To the shore, mist hidden from view.
All are equal who cross with me,
Beggar and millionaire
Vassal and king and bond and free,
Peasant and noble of high degree
The maid and her lady fair,
The weary toiler who longs for rest,
Brave youth and manhood proud,
The erring one with his sins confessed,
The sinless babe on the mothers breast
And the mother with sorrow bowed.
Some on their journey set forth alcue,
With trembling and anxious fears,
Some amid wailing, with sob and moan
And pray rs that their lives had never known
And heartbTeak and bitter tears.
Man brought naught into the world save death,
And naught can he take away;
Naked was he when he first drew breath
And naked will be when he goes with death
On his silent, mysterious way.
So all are equal whom death sets Free
To cross to the distant strand,
And king and vassal and bond and free,
Whether Of lowly or high degree,
Must all cross the river of death with me
To enter that unknown land.
