IN THE STOCKS.
One of the Minor Punish ments OF
Puritan Days.


Puritan Days.
One of the marked tendencies of the
present age is said to be an overretine-
ment of the analysis of sensation,
whether physical or mental; a 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 an 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
along a drove of swine, which seemed to
cast upon him those leering looks that
only fat pig can bestow. A dog fol-
lowed, smiling 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 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
tomahawk, probably intending moth
ing worse, however, than to give him a
severe frig'ht-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 a roar he prepared for charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage darted
off. The bull made dash az 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.

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 thlther 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 er the sandy mound.
And over the world to flee.
Then up and up the granite wall
They hurt themselves. but back they fan.
Down through the dizzying air.
UP, with a Shrek Of rage and pain.
They dash from the crest of the foaming G
main.
Climbing so madly! But back again
They fall with roar of despair.
The soul of man would sometimes leap
The environments that round 1t sweep,
But its bonds are set: like the mighty deep.
II 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.

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.

asked friend desperately.

rectly all that tell him; all that have
to do is just to look over the manu-
script and possibly make 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
sole mnity at first and then with rapidly
increasing disturbance of mind and fea-
lures. At last he came to a sudden halt
before the waiting scribe and thrust his
hand into his pocket.
