We don't make up. GU see, he is al.
ways as cross as two sticks at breakfast, and
says a whole lot of sarcastic things about
women attending to their households, and

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 tllither they ever roam,
flashing 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 them selves, but back they faM,
Down through the dizzying air.
Up, with 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 it's bonds are set; like the mighty deep,
It 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.

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

One of the Minor Punishments of
Puritan Days.
One of the marked tendencies of the
present age is said to be an overrefne-
ment of the analysis of sensation,
whether physical or mental; habit
of regarding in a moral aspect much
that was once dismissed as purely ply
steal. So, in dwelling on some of the
minor punishments of Puritan days,
the mental sufferings 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 III old record, however, testifies
that the physical discomforts of such
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
alonga drove of swine, which seemed to
cast upon him those leering looks that
only fat pig can bestow. A dog fol-
lowed, shifting at the prisoners feet, and
making feints-unpleasantly approach
ing reality-of biting him. Then
cock, mounting to the very top of the
stocks, crowed his derision upon the
victim below; and presently rough
fellow after INDUCING in ugly taunts,
threw at him fetic, toadstools and dead
snake.
Then an Indian appeared, who in
drunken rage, stimulated by some fam
cied injury, rushed at Mr.. Hubbard with
a tomahawk, probably intending moth
ing worse, however, than to give him a
severe fright-which he certainly sue
ceeded in doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-
ter; for at that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at
tention was attracted by the stocks, and
with roar he prepared for charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage darted
off. The bull made 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 animosity 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.

Goldsmith Could Not Work with an
Amanucnsis.
It is said that Goldsmith, much as
he dislil1ed exertion and trouble, either
literary or other, was unable to avail
himself of the help of an amanuensis.
''How do you manager" he one day
asked a friend, desperately.
ooh, easily" said the other, an author
of many voluminous but short-lived
works. II walk about the room and die
tate to clever man, who puts down cor
rectly all that tell him; all that have
to do is just to look over the manu-
script and possibly make a few cor
rections before sending it to the press"
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 dicta-
ton to begin.
Goldsmith paced the room with great
solemnity at first and then with rapidly
increasing disturbance of mind and fea-
TIRES. At last he came to sudden halt
before the waiting scribe and thrust his
hand into his pocket.
ut will not do, my friend,'' he said,
with shake of his head, holding
guinea to the young man; cit will not

hand must work together or there'll be
no work done.
He never made the trial again, count
ing it as extra trouble rather than gain.

The City of the Lattle Monk.

The city of Munich is called Muench-
en- in German. Before it was Muench-
EN- it was "Moenchen," the diminutive
for ''moench," the German word for
monk" so that the name of the city
signifies little monk" Thu name was
received 700 years ago. In the middle
of the Twelfth century number of
monks flying from Hungary established
a cloister and colony on the site of the
old town, and travellers used to speak
of the place as "Bei den Moenchen,"
later simply Moenchen, now Muenchen.
Whether the Hungarian recluse was
smaller than his Bavarian conferees or
whether it was simply an expression Of
affection has not been ascertained.-.

PROGRESS.

The progress of the United States
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the
rapidity with which its cities grow
and its communities rise as if by
magic from the soil, must strike every
historical student of modern times
Other nations have free institutions,
other nations have eXuberent soil, 9TH
err nations have sturdy population;
what is it that makes the United
States put forth new branches and
have them become prosperous scions
of the old tree?
There is only one thing that does it
Each individual community under the
United States system becomes an en-
tity. 1t is free from the very outset
to manage its own affairs. Its men
and its women don't grow up with a
longing for some distant civilizing
point, but they grow up with the de-
sire to increase and improve the spot
they have made their home.
This love of the state and even Of
the city, so characteristic of the Unit
ed States, was quickly seized upon by
Kipling, than whom probably the
world has no keener observer. Any

one who will analyzc the character Of
Taryin in the Naulaltha. will see at
once what is meant. The mans whole
soul is taken up with the increase, the
progress and success of his little west l.
crn town. Unless there had been the
natural motive, Tarvin would never
have done what he did.
The United States gives the same
impetus To men that the Greek Repub-
lie did of old. Looking at Hawaii. we
see in an instant that that spirit is in
great measure lacking. Let us lhave
annexation and no matter what our
population, the same spirit will be in
fused into it that has made, Kansas,
Arizona, California, Montana and doz-
ems or others, the pride of their In
jewellers. They will glory in their
state, and will glory too, in being a
part of one of the greatest nations
upon earth. In joining the States, the
individuality is not lost, as it would
he to any other country. The individ-
uality is retained, but the scope be-
comes the greater.
