Somewhat Chronatic.

A Virginia reader sends a story
told by the late Alban S. Payne
("Nicholas Spicer") as an actual &C.
currence. 1t concerned hard-riding,
hard-drinling young Englishman who
settled near Linden, that state, in
the expressed hope that the rustic
surroundings would prove an aid in
Kidding him of his abnormal thirst.
But he chung to his old habits, and
soon became a connoisseur in moon
shine Installations, rather preferring
them, after o time, to those bearing
the government stamp. His face was
mingled purple and sunset-red, the
joint product Of whisky and an open
air life; and he had nothing of charm
apart from his faultless manners to
offer the pretty mountain girl who
consented to become his wife. One
afternoon he was carried home pref
ty well mussed up as the result Of q
fall. The gravel of the roadside, the
green Of the grass and the smear
from some cuts added to the color
fulness of his countenance; and the
young wife, when DR.. Payne arrived,
rushed out on the porch, screaming:
20, doctor! doctor! go in to him
quick! He has all the diseases Of the
Philadelphia Times.

DON'T Hurry.

Any one can hold out a dumb-bell
for a few seconds; but in few more
seconds the arm Says; it is only the
trained athlete who can endure even
to the minutes end. For Hawthorne
to hold the people of The Scarlet
Letter steadily in focus from Novem-
Der to February, to say nothing OF
six years. preliminary brooding, is
surely more of an artistic feat than
to write a short story between Tues
day and Friday. The three years and
nine months of unremitting labor
devoted to Middlemarch does not in
itself afford any criticism of the
value of the book; but given George
Eliot's brain to begin with, and then
concentrate them for that period
upon single theme, and it is no won
der that the result is masterpiece.
"Jan van Eyck was never in hurry"
says Charles Reade of the great
Flemish painter in the Cloister and
the Hearth. "Jan van Eyck was
never in a hurry, and therefore the
world will not forget him in
hurry."-Atlantic.

THE BOY FROM TOWN.

Last night boy came here from town
To stay a week or so,
Because his nav u all run down
And needs rest, you know.
His name is Cecil. and he's eight.
And he can't skin the cat
His nav calls him pet" I'd hate
To have a name like that.
He wears collar and tie
And can't hang by his toes;
! guess that would nearly die
II had on his clos;
He cant ride bareback, and to-day,
When we slid on the straw,
He asst II ROSTERS help to lay
The eggs ! pick fer NAV.
When our old gander Kissed he run
As though he thought he'd bite,
And he amt eyer shot gun
Or had a homemade kite;
He never MIXED cow. and he
Can't even drive or swim
I'd hate to think that he was me,
I'm glad that amt him.
He thinks it's lots OF fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb In the barn, and jump
For fear Of gettin' hurt.
His clos are offie nice and fine.
His hairs all over curls.
His hands amt half as big as mine,
He ought to play with girls.
"A little while ago when we
Were foolin' in the shed
He suddenly get mad at me,
Because / bumped his head.
There's lots of things that he can't do,
He thinks that sheep'u bite,
And he's afraid Of ganders, too;
But he can fight all right.
