lexinoton Monuments.

All along the road to Lexington from Cambridge. Mass. in the United States of America. there are monuments to ''rebel colonists" who slew British sol diers April 19. in l775. but the most striking is that which is raised to the memory of Samuel Whittemore. He was eighty years of age at the time. and he killed three British soldiers with his own hand. The stone rec. ords that for this he received punish ment of three kinds. He was shot. he was bayoneted and he was beaten He was then. reasonably enough, left for dead The old fellow must have had a magnificent constitution and a spirit which the most devoted optimist might envy. For the inscription goes ou to say that he recovered and lived to the age of ninety eight 1895 must have been "a good vintage"-for men London Chronicle.

THACKERAY'S KIND HEART.
The Author Was Called a cynio, but
 He Loved Children.

He Loved Children.
 Thackeray's words were satirical. and he himself was called cynic. but the author of Love Affairs of Some Famous Men" shows what sort of heart beat in the satirist's breast by quoting from the letter of one to whom the following incident happened:
 "In the week following his death there appeared some genial memorial lines in the pages of Punch. Walking down the then unsavory thoroughfare known as Bedfordbury. my eye caught the open page of the popular periodical. and stayed to read the graceful trib- ute to the dend moralist. Turning away at length. a poorly dressed man in working garb said to me:
 "T knew that man. sir.
 "'You knew ThackerayY I asked.
 "'Yes. sir. l keep that little bakers shop yonder.' pointing to the opposite side of the street. and many's the time Thackeray would come and buy a pound or two of cake of mo, l cut 1t into slices for him. and then. distribut. ing 1t among the crowd of hungry chil- dren. he would walk away and hide in that court over there that he might have the pleasure of seeing their en. joyment.
