An east end little boy was very anx-

little Jersey calf, says the Cleveland

"Well," said the little fellow, lido

"Why, of course, - said the good
uncle.
"Well, uncle" said the boy. "give

Informal Receipt.

Uneducated people sometimes have a
happy knack in coming to the point.
Here, for example, is story from the
Boston Herald:
Dan and Nose, neither Of them noted
for erudition, were partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning customer called to settle
a small bill and after handing over the
money asked for receipt
Nose retired to the privacy Of an
inner room and after long delay re-
turned with a slip Of paper, on which
were written these words:
We've got our pay. Me and Dan. !"

The Mission OF Literature.

Tennyson's "In Memoriam' is as no.
table an example as modern literature af
lords OF this first and noblest mission of
letters. Though entitled an elegy and
written to commemorate the virtues of
the poets personal friend-and in this
sense appropriately restricted in its
range--it takes up and develops the
great ideas of God and the universe: of
man and the soul and duty and destiny;
OF life and death ard Immortality; Of
good and evil, right and wrong; Of sci
ence. philosophy, ethics and religion, so
as, in q word, virtually to cover the
spacious area of truth and to make the
reader feel that he is dealing with the
profoundest problems of earth and
heaven. Hence In Memoriam" is some
thing more and greater than mere
poem. 1t is kind of compendium Of
theology and philosophy. of the divini-
ties and humanities, in new and striking
form, furnishing food for thought to ev.
cry thinking man who reads it.
Hence to our mind the fame Of Ten
nyson and its permanence rest more
upon such product as this than upon
any other of his works. maud, 1.-THE
Princess" Lady Godiva." "Enoch
Arden" are choice and attractive
poems, but scarcely to be cited in the
same connection with this poetic mas
terpiece.
Similarly rich in these qualities is
the marvellous genius of the Shakespear-
can drama, making that classification
just which insists upon placing Shakes
peare by himself, as having no legiti-
mate rival in the province of English
literature. Most Of the Shakespearean
plays evince this first condition of lit
erary greatness in their respective en-
bodiment of some great thought. Pro

Persons have wondered at the ease
and slightness of Nansen, tho polar
prince, " in his dress suit as he lectures,
he appeared so little commander as
he stood on the platform. Now the au-
dience which heard him at the Metro
politan Opera House know where the
leader comes in. AS he lectured his
lamp went out, his signals for another
were UNDECIDED, and finally he cried,
"Bring match"
Every one of these listening hundreds
recognized with thrill the voice OF a
leader. It was q simple thing, but 1T
showed the man.-New York Core

wouldn't Be "Half Hanged"

It was once the custom in several
southern states, when man under SEN
tenoe of the law was hanged and three
times in succession broke the rope and
fell to the earth before the sentence
could be carried out, to liberate him
and thereafter to account him innocent
of the crime of which he was convicted
An old darky past the threescore and
ten years generally allotted to man had
q neighbor whom he considered "hoo-
doo," a"Jonah. One day he went
over to his neighbours house and killed
him with shotgun. He was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to death. The day
of the execution arrived, and great
crowd assembled to see the old man
hanged. He was very heavy man, and
when the moose had been placed around
his neck and the barrel drawn from un-
der him his weight broke the rope and
he fell to the ground.
The second time and the third time
the rope broke, and then his friends de-
manded that he be released. The sheriff
turned him over to his friends, who
made great show of welcome. But he
broke away from them, and, hurrying
to the sheriff, who was about to leave
the scene, he astounded him with:
"Hold on, Massa Sheriff Hold on! Put
that rope around this old nigger's neck
again. Dye think I'm goin to have all
de folks pointin me out as half hung
mani No, sab. Try it again! Try il
againP'
The sheriff did try it again, and this
time the rope did not break.-New

The Letter q.

The letter G furnishes US curious bit
of orientalism. Its Hebrew name is
gimel, camel, from the resemblance OF
the Hebrew character to the head and
neck of that animal. The character was
thus almost certainly derived from a
picture of that animal, which, reduced
to hieroglyphic and then simplified,
still distantly indicates the shape OF the
head and neck of the beast of burden
familiar to every dweller in eastern
lands.
