coIeridae as cenxer.ationalist.

Coleridge was prodigious talker,
and his fuency and eloquence in
discussion soon brought his fellow
debaters to standstill. Edward
Irving once complained to fellow
guest at Mr.. Gillman's:
"Can you ever get word in with
Coleridge%
"No," was the reply; snor do I
ever wish to-"
There is a story of Coleridge's
buttonholing Hazlitt in the Grove
and subjecting him to stream of
eloquence. The latter was pressed
for time, but waited till his pa
thence became exhausted; then he
cut off the button and fled, leaving
Coleride to discourse to it at lei
sure.

VIII Open Tale and Asbestos
Mines.

On November I6 occurred the
dedication of the Reading Tale g.
Asbestos company's mines. James
E. Gay OF Cavendish is president of
the company. A bountiful dinner
and supper were served in one Of
the large buildings recently erected
by the company. The Cavendish
orchestra was in attendance and fur
nished fine music during the after
noon and evening. Speeches, music
and singing took up the afternoon,
and in the evening about zoo persons
enjoyed free dance until the small
hours of the morning.
One mine is located on the farm
formerly owned by Florance May
nard near the village Of Hammonds-
vile. A short distance from it is
another deposit of tale aud asbestos.
The two mines will be worked by
the same company. The tale is of a
superior quality and the quantity
appears to be inexhaustible. An
order was recently received for 10
carloads of tale, which the company
was unable ito fill, but within two
weeks it is expected that the mines
will be in active operation.

THE OLD CIDER BARREL.

1t stood upon platform in corner of
the shed,
All covered o'er with cobwebs, and its
hoops had rusted red.
The slaves were slightly bulging from
the juice that worked within;
The waste was dripping from the tap
into battered tin.
And when the autumn skies were blue,
the weather clear and warm,
The bees and the yellowj Jackets buzzed
around itin a swarm.
The cider worked from week to week
and soon got sour and strong;
Though Dad said not to drink it, yet he
chit" it right along.
When coming from the fields at noon,
our faces hot and red,
We'd wait till Dad had left the scene
and sneak into the shed.
And though we could have turned the
tap and drunk from out cup,
We'd rather cut wild oat straw and
slowly suck it up.
And while the yellow-jackets buzzed-a
kind of dreamy tone
We'd suck and suck upon the straw and
listen to their drone.
Until we shut our eyes in joy and held
our lips apart,
And drew the cider up the straw and
downward let it start.
And earthly sounds grew far away, the
bees left off their song,
But stin we gripped the old oat straw
and pulled it good and long.
Oh, that was many years ago, and now
I've left the farm,
But still see the yellow-jackets buzz
ing in swarm.
And when I'm tired with business cares
like no sit and dream
Of cider barrel taps a-dripping nectar
in stream.
I'd like to open up the bung, stick in a
long oat straw,
And shut my eyes in sweet content, and
draw and draw and draw.
