Whit whitmon,s Pride.

Whitman'S grandmother was n
Quaker, and the bard had been all his
life used. Quaker fashion, to sitting in
the house with his sombrcro on if it
suited him to do so. One day, with Il
friend, he entered the gloomy and half
empty precincts of Trinity church,
New York, and took back seat in the
obscurity and for n moment forgot
to remove his hat or was probably just
about to do so when an oflicious verScr
stepped up and requested him TO take
it off.
Walt, n man of immense pride, not
seeing fit TO do so instantancously or
being very slow in his mental proc
csses, was taking the matter into con-
sideration for Il second when the
vergcr knocked the offending hat off
his head. Walt picked up the huge
felt and, doubling il together, smote
the fellow vigorously twice or thrice
with ii on the head and slowly left
the church, the red faced sexton fol-
lowing and threatening him with the
law.-Boston Transcript.

Several years after the close of the
civil war n reception was held in
Lynchburg, Va, to commemorate some
national event, says V. Halsey in Lip
pincott's Magazine. Many men were
there assembled who had fought in the
war. Among them was a major of 4
Massachusetts regiment, who, meeting
General Jubal Early of the Confeder-
ate army, cordially greeted him.
Pointing to his own decorations, the
major said, 'Ah, general, you see we
have all the crosses now"
Yes" replied the old general 'In
olden times they hung thieves on cross
es- Now they hang crosses on thieves"
