THE ROCK OF AGES.
Curious statement as 10 Where aas Writer of Che Famous Hymn Got
 Lis tn.niratlon.


 h q recent letter written to Dean Le Ffoy by sir William Wills a mem ber Of parliament for Bristol. he made a very curious statement which has naturally eSeated q great deal of in-
 ecclesias icaI world. Sir 6..l...- ae.ting was in relation to Che age circumstances connected with aa frat inspiration Of She famous hymn Rock of Ages Cleft for Me. The story which has just been brought out by Sir William in his own words is as follows. During the reading Of some old documents recently I came across a statement in regard to Top Iadys inspiration for his famous hymn which seems to prove that the original Rock of Ages is in Burlington CoomDe, which is on Che edge Of my place, and after careful investigation of the mat fer I am satisfied that the story is true in every particular It appears that one day the distinguished author was caught ia heavy thunderstorm ln Harrington Coombe, and there taking shelter between two massive piers oL our native limestone rock. he penned his famous hymn that has immortal ized him. In Al England there is probably no more beautiful weird, or romantic spat than Harrington Goombe -a deep ude8tuFe Tn the dark swell ing HflI Haoa=a as BlaeE Down which, rising to tLe height ofL1o0 feet forms the summit af .ha Megdig Range.

 in old Times.

Sa u1pIe of How naFEafits " 9iS A
 in old Times.
 During the work of rebuilding the Royal Bull hotel of Dartford, Englano' an old hostelry and landmark. some la- terestng discoveries were made last month. says the Baltimore Sun. In I773 a murder had been committed at the house and the body disappeared mvsteriously. A skeleton now dug up, three feet below the flooring of an old cellar. leads to the belief that 1t was the remains of the victim of the tfa- gedv. A secret staircase was brought to light, and, as this communicates py invisible doors in the walls of the eel lar with the room in which the tragedy occurred. it strengthens the belief that the body was taken down the stair case and buried. At the same time number of death warrants, bearing the signature of Portland minister or George TIL. were found in the panels of the walls in which the murder was committed. How documents of this character got into so strange a hiding place IS matter 1OA C0t4J S1ss4i , dated June, 1798, is good sample oI how warrants were prepared in those days. t reads: Whereas, James 0'Coigley. having been attes---d ot high treason and had sentence passed upon him to be drawn upon hurdle 10 the place Of execution and to be hanged by the neck. but not until he is dead, bat that, being alive. he shall be taken down and his bowels taken out and burnt before his face, tbat his head shah be severed from hls body and his body divided into four parts, and that his head and body snail bs disposed Of as we think fit, and where as we think it to remit that part Of he sentence directing the burning of his bowels and dividing the body into four parts. our will and pleasure is that be shall be drawn and hange4 and have his head severed from his body.

The Leaf of Young Grain.-Ihere is much terence in the breadth, size and color of leaf in young grain as it comes up. It is partly dependent on the character of the seed. as the plant sends I'D it's first leaves mainly from the starehy matter which encI9ses the germ and which the germ uses until it is able to put forth roots into the soil. Barley tgtng larger and heavier than pats has always a broader leaf, though If oats are soWn on rich land and some what late they will come up with q leaf that Ks like barley. But this rank growth early is not regarded fayorabIy by the cultivator, for he knows that it is lia6.e to be followed by rust of stalk or grain later in the season. liar rowing grain that comes up with too small and thin a leaf bruises these first leaves, and as 1t also stimulates root growth It causes the plant to send up new shoots with much broader leaves. This dries out the soil, thus preventing the excessive growth later that invites rust-Ex.
