more joy In life than closed windows.

an old wallet with other clippings, all
yellow with age.

To a tailor in his business.
And that one is a goose.

His own suit very nice
With a Parrot that we hope will prove
A Bird of Paradise.

HENRY LAURENS. the n1gneSL eSUSeu
in the colony. While he was in Lon
don in 1774 he was one Of the thirty
eight Americans who drew up petit
ton to dissuade the British parliament
from passing the Boston port bill. .
On his return to Charleston Laurens
was elected a member Of the first pro-.
visional congress and drew up form
of association to be signed by all the
friends of liberty. In 1776 he was
elected as delegate to the continental
congress, which he served as president
after the resignation of John Hancock.
In ITO Laurens was appointed min
lister to Holland to negotiate a treaty
with that country. He was seized
while on shipboard. He threw his pa
pers overheard, but they were recover
ed and gave proof of his mission. He
was taken to London and imprisoned
in the Tower for nearly fifteen months
When his son, John Laurens, was sent
to Paris as an envoy his father was
told that If he advised his son to
withdraw from this mission his
confinement would be made only
nominal and was offered favor
and money. He replied that his son
would never sacrifice honor, even to
save his own or his fathers life.

foremost men Of art and letters met at
his table in celebration? Mark Twain
Is only a humorist-a laugh-maker.
He has added nothing to the worlds
store of science, Of the classics, or the
high arts. But, ali! he has generous
" scattered bright smiles over both
hemispheres and lightened with laugh
ter the hearts Of millions. He has
brought good humor and cheer to the
people of the earth; he has literally
contributed to the gayety Of nations;
he has caused the world to turn from
its troubles and laugh with him. And
in it all there has been no sting, no
rancor; no malice has ever poisoned
his wit; no ungenerous thought has
ever Jared in his pure, good-natured
humor. The man who can make the
whole world laugh-laugh at itself-at
it's own foibles and follies-is well
worth a moments thought. He has
led no armies; he has contributed moth
ing to statecraft; but he has brought
a laugh and ightness Of heart to more
people than have all the armies Of all
time, and has released more human
minds from gloom than any statesman
ever born. He is only humorlst-a
laugh maker; and yet the most dis
tinguished men Of his time meet to do
him honor, because his has been the
noble mission to implant cheer and
good-nature in the hearts of men.
