The Liberty BeII.

The famous Liberty bell, which has
been much exhibited and written about
was originally cast in London, for the
English government restricted the in
dustries in the American colonies to
such an extent that there was no place
ON this side of the Atlantic where such
a bell could be made. The bells weight
was 2,0S0 pounds. 1t arrived in Philadel-
phia in 1852. When hung up and being
tried for sound, "it was cracked by a
stroke of the clapper without any other
violence" 1t was recast in Philadel
phla and this prophetic motto in
scribed:
proclaim liberty throughout the land
and to all the inhabitants thereof"
. When the British threatened the city

to Christ church and St. Peters, eleven

to prevent their falling into the hands
Of the enemies. When the war ended
the bell was hung again in the place
whence it had rung out the news Of the
Declaration Of Independence.

The Origin of Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is to
say, he had only Christian name
without any kind Of handle" before it
or surname after 1t. Some means of
distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Mechanics derived from n
mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal popularity We're
tackled on to his Christian name, and
plain John became John Smith. As
yet there We're no "misters" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows-became perhaps a landed pro-
prietor or an employer of hired labor
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man-French of the day the "maistre"
of this place or that of these work
men or of those. In the time the
"maistre," or master" as 1t soon be-
came. got tackled on before his name.
and he became Master Smith and his
wife was Maistress Smith. Gradually
the sense OF possession was lost sight
Of, and the title was conferred upon
any kindly mere possession of wealth
or holding some position of more or
less consideration and Importance.

Mes.ages From Mountains.

There are four messages that come
from the mountains. the message OF
aspiration, the message of invigora-
ton, the message of exaltation and
the message of delectation. The Chris
tan can lead the higher life amid the
low currents that sweep through daily
experiences, and by living In contact
with the divine spirit there will come
day by day new Joys, stronger faith.
tenderer love and brighter hope. There
are seven mountains of the Bible, each
symbolizing some truth-Mount Sinai,
the place of the law; Mount Calvary.
the place OF the cross; the Mount Of
Beatitudes, the place of learning;
Mount Moriah, the place of consecra-
ton; Mount Hermon, the place of
TRANSPORTATION; Mount Pisgah, the
place of outlook. and Mount Zion, the
place Of praise. We may not expect to
dwell amid these mountain expert
entes all through our Christian life.
but as we ascend them to receive holy
and high inspiration we must then de-
scend into the valley to pour from our
hearts the blessings received upon
those who live amid the mists Of doubt
and in the shadows Of sorrow.-Rev.

A New Sleeping Car Story.

Among the railroad visitors in town
recently was F. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railway, says the
Cleveland Leader He visited all Of
the general Offices in town and at thu
Hollenden hotel told a story of one
of the sleeping car porters who was
recently found asleep while on duty.
This is contrary to the rules of the
St. Paul road, and the negro man was
in trouble when found by the inspec-
tor on the Pioneer Limited. He had
his wits about him, however, and in
response to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said:
"Tll tell you how it was, boss.
have only been with the company a
short time and before coming here
was working on such and such rail-
road. The line was so rough that
could not get any sleep. Since I have
been working for the st. Paul the road
has been so smooth that just could
not keep awake
Mr. Miller says that while the negro
had violated the rules, he was per-
mitted to keep his job on account Of
his wit.

Don't Betray Condolences.

How few people there are who know
how to keep a confidence made to them
in the true sense of the word They
frequently forget the fundamental
principle Of the whole idea, which is
this: Have no desire to tell it to an
other person. So much can be done
to betray a confidence by person
dropping into hints and innuendoes
without once deliberately breaking his
compact to the letter, but only in the
spirit. What a valuable point to have
in your reputation-that you are a per-
fectly safe person to whom to intrust
a secret! Remember. when you are
inclined to pass a confidence to a
bosom friend, however much she may
want to hear it, she will remember the
fact against you when she wants to
confide in you that, as you are capable
of breaking your bond with one friend,
so you can do it with another, perhaps
herself, next time.

Be a Eriend to Man.

There are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell

There are pioneer souls that blaze their

But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side Of

Where the race of men go by

who are bad,
AS good and as bad as T.

But turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears.
Both parts Of an infinite plan
Let me live in a. house by the side Of

And be a friend to man.

WITH THE POETS :

Tho Lass Beneath the Bonnet.
When the triumphs and the conquests
of the heart are counted DER,
When they tell of love that flourished
in the days of nevermore,
When they weigh the charms of loving
and the amours dwell upon,
Round whose tender recollections mu-
sic echoes, roses run;
When the world has Worn one weary
with its faneur and its fash,
With it's chain of charming maidens
carrying hearts with sweep and
dash,
Then vision looms before me and
song sounds sweet and low
All, the lass beneath the bonnet that
loved so long ago.
The old-time striped sunbonnet, where
she used to hide her face.
The sweet, old-fashioned lilacs that she
carried with such grace,
The curls that used to dangle where
her shoulders sloped so sweet,
The little schoolgirl figure with its
touch of grace petite,
The little checkered apron and the skirt
of Highland plaid
All, the vision makes me merry and
the echo makes me sad,
For through tides of time that flow not
another lass, know
Has smiled beneath bonnet as she
smiled so long ago!
Time may take ME far from mem'ry of
that schoolhouse on the hill,
The little woodland byroad that dipt
down across the rill.
The fairy fields of fancy where two
sweethearts pledged their VOW,
But would that I could travel back to
wonder of it now
Back to all that world of marvel when
the valor of the knight
Burned a spark within my spirit that
her lips had helped to light,
And I'd face the dragon for her. let
befall or veal or woe,
Just because beneath her bonnet she
had loved me long ago!

An Alphabet Of Proverbs.

A grain of prudence is worth a pound
Of craft.
Boosters are cousins to liars.
Courage in Christians means plenty
of backbone.
Denying fault doubles It,
Envy boots at others and wounds
herself.
Foolish fear doubles anger.
God teaches US good things by our
own hands.
He has hard work who has nothing
to do.
1t costs more to revenge wrongs
than to suffer them.
Just Christians can afford to be mer-
ciful.
Knavery is the worst trade.
Learning makes man fit company
for himself.
