Prospects of a good meal were not

seated himself at table covered by
a stained cloth. A depressed waiter

OId-Tjme Punishments.

A mode of punishment in the early
days was that of performing penance
in church. Bishop Meade, in his His
tory of the Virginia Church, tells how
offenders would stand in church,
wrapped in white sheets, with white
wands in their hands. In 1851, in Sa-
lem, Mass, two women were so
adorned in white and placed on stools
in the center of the aisle of the meet
ing house, having on their heads a
paper bearing the name of their crime.
A popular punishment for the drunk
ard was to place him in a large-sized
barrel, with the bottom removed, and
two places made on the sides for his
hands to come through, and the victim
of Bacchus thus walked through the
streets with his head and legs alone
showing from huge barrel.

testing out the parcels post as a
means of marketing eggs and have
found it highly satisfactory. The de-

of the nation and upon arrival at
destination, only 327 eggs, or three

All'S WELL.
The clouds, which rise with thunder,
slake
Our thirsty souls with rain;
The blow most dreaded falls to break
From off our limbs a chain,
And wrongs of man to man but make
The love of God more plain.
As through the shadowy lens of even
The eye looks farthest into heaven,
On CLEANS of star and depths of blue
The glaring sunshine never knew.
