GrecIeN,s AGectntinn.

There was a great deal Of innocence
In Horace Greeley rs well as not a lit
tie affectation. He was rarely seen
without one trousers leg carelessly
caught in the upper part Of his boot,
and necktie with bow under his
ear Once in the public room Of a
hotel friend of Grccley's kindly pulled
down the disarran&cd trousers leg and
Strengthened the nccktie. Greeley
thanked him and soon after left the
room. When in the course Of half an
hour he appeared in the street the
trousers leg and the necktle had been
carefully disarTanGcd, and the man
looked as negligent Of things earthly
as he always looked. 1t was part Of
his pose az man Of genius to wear
his trousers lcs and his nccktie as If he
had put them on I'm a hurry while alb
sorbed In meditation. 1t was harm
less ecccntricity.

HIRAM, KING OF TYRE.
The Phoenician Monarch and His Eff
fort to Initiate the Deity.

Hiram, the PhOenician monarch,
rtroyc to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
rcven heavens s-apartments-to to be built
The first was constructed of glass, 500
by 800 yards, storing therein mock i'm
ages of the sun, moon and stars The
second compartment Of iron, 900 by
1000 yards, was the receptacle CT pre-
ciouS stones, causing n terrific noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and the easement of
the inclosurc. The third chamber was
of lead, 1,5OO by 1900 yards. The
fourth was Of tin, 1000 by 1000 yards
The fifth was of copper, $500 by $500
yards The sixth was of silver, 5000
hy 5000 yards. The seventh was Of
gold, 5000 by $500 yards, containing
precious stones, pearls and a magnif-
cent throne. A channel Of water sep
arated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splendOr
of the court of King Solomon, sur
rounded himself by the grandest con-
ceivable display of magniflcence. In
the seventh apartment was stationed a
golden bed, the corners Of which were
set in pearls without value In oil the
world, sparkling forth beautiful flashes
resembling lightning, which spread
wonder ana terror among his subjects
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered to
appear before Hiram, who at loss
as to how to reach the seven heavens
wherein the monarch presided, was
transported into his castle by the locks
Of his hair. Upon percciving the di-
vine messenger Hiram trembled. "Who
art thou" thundered the indignant har-
bingcr of future events "Why dost

Color Troubles of the Color Blind
Poet, Whittier.


Poet, Whittier.
1t IS we'll known that the poet Whit
tier was color blind and unable TO dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself a nccktie which he
supposed to be of Il modest and suit
able olive tint and wore II once. He
never wore 1t again, for his friends
soon made him aware that 1t offended
against the traditional quletness Of
costume cnjoined alike by the habits
of the Friends and by his own taste.
The tie was of flaming scarlet
On another occasion, when he found
4 little girl In distress on account Of
new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to
her colorlng and complexion, he tried
to console her.
Il wouldn't mind what a rude boy
says about it, Mary" he said kindly.
"Thee looks very we'll indeed in 1t,
like an Dread, Mary, dressed all in
green"
Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
III green. ENut WIS Itl IdAIttl, anu HtI
dress was red. That was the trouble.
Once, on Il day In mid March, when
out walking with Friend and deeply
engaged In conversation, Mr. Whittier
approached too near for safety to a
place where blasting was going on
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend noticed It until work
man, violently waving his arms and
shouting leapcd before them and
warned them back.
Il didn't see the flag at all" said
Mr.. Whittiers companion.
