NURSERY RHYMES.
Most of Them Have a History That Is
Interesting.


The larger number of our nursery
rhymes have history, and it Is in

Fred Myron Colby in Brooklyn Eagle
Before the ballad was written there
was the story, which. perhaps. might
have been forgotten had not the verses
given 1t perennial fame. Some of
these nursery rhymes are very old, and
it is wonderful to think how they and
their story have come down to us
through the centuries. Six hundred
and not a few of those that were IA
miliar to US when we we're children
are even older than that.

CHAPTER XIII.

Maurice Frere found his favora BILE
expectations of Sydney fully realized.
His notable escape from death at Mac
quarie Harbor, his alliance with the
daughter of so respected a colonist as
Major Vickers. and his reputation as a
convict disciplinarian rendered him a
man of note. He received vacant
magistracy, and became even more not
ed for hardness of heart and artfulness
of prison knowledge than before. The
convict population spoke of him as shat
-Frere," and registered vows of ven
geance against him, which he laughed
in his bluffness-to scorn.
One of the first things this useful
officer did upon his arrival in Sydney
was to inquire for Sarah Purfoy. To
his establishment, he discovered that she
was the proprietor of large export ware
houses in Pitt street, owned neat cot
tage on one of the points of land which
jutted into the bay, and was reputed
to possess a banking account of no in
considerable magnitude. He In vain
applied his brains to solve this mystery.
She had not been rich when she. left
Van Diemen's land-at least, 30 she had
assured him, and appearances bore out
her assurance. How had she accumulat-
ed this sudden wealth? Above all, why
had she thus invested it? He made In
quiries at the banks, but was snubbed
for his pains. Sydney banks in those
days did some queer business.
He had not been long established In
his magistracy when Blunt came to
claim payment for the voyage of Sarah
Purfoy.
''Well," said Blunt, "I've got job
ON hand"
''Glad of it, 1 am sure. What sort
of a job?"
"a job of whaling" said Blunt, more
uneasy than before.
"Oh, that's it, is It? Your old line
of business. And who employs you
nowr'
MRS. Purfoy."
"What!'' cried Frere, scarcely able to
believe his ears.
''Shes got a couple Of ships now, cap
tain, and she made me skipper of one
of 'em. We take a turn at happening
sometimes"
Frere stared at Blunt, who stared at
the window. There was-so the instinct
of the magistrate told him-some
strange project afoot. Yet that common
sense which so often misleads us urged
that it was quite natural Sarah should
employ whaling vessels to increase her
trade "Oh," said he, "and when do
you startY
I'm expecting to get a word every
day." returned Blunt, land l thought
I'd just come and see you first, in case
of anything falling in"
Maurice Frere, oppressed with suspi-
cions, ordered his horse that afternoon,
and rode down to see the cottage which
the owner of "Purfoy Stores" had pur-
chased He found it low white build
ing, situated four miles from the city,
at the extreme end of a tongue Of land
which ran into the deep waters Of the
harbor. A garden, carefully cultivated,
stood between the roadway and the
house.

SELLS OLD HOMESTEAD.

Mrs. Anna Winans of Deloit, has
sold her old homestead of 800 acres to
Henry Kolls for consideration of
300 per acre. Seventy-tive dollars
per acre was paid for the home place,
fifty dollars for the pasture land and
thirty dollars for the timber land.
Thus passes from the Winans family
the old home which has been theirs
since 1874. For fourteen years, since
her husbands death, Mrs. Anna
Wiuans has conducted the farm with
the assistance of her children. Dur
ing this time she has seen the land
double in value All her children
save Earl, are now married. and she
decided to sell the old place in order
to assist them in their home building
in other places.
Mrs Winans is type of the noble,
self-sacriicing mother, the dearest of
all Gods creatures. We know that
her children will appreciate the sacri.
fee which leaving the old home i'm
plies. and that her future ways may be
ways of pleasantness, and her paths,
be paths of peace.

A MIDSUMMER WHIST.

A delightful diversion from summer
work and summer play was given to
their friends last evening by Mr.. and

with him, winning the prize among

There were SO many candidates for
consolation that the losers were made
to guess for the prizes. Mrs I j.
