live and tip he went of course be didn't till live because he died—and so he might as well have kept his last words to himself as to have gone and made mob a failure of it as that a week before that fifteen minutes of calm reflection would have en abled that man to contrive some last words that would have been a credit to himself and a comfort to his family for generations m,mmm and there was john ijuincy adams kelying on hi splendid abilities and his â– coolness in emergencies trusted toa h*pp nit **â– tn last moment to carry him through and what was the result death smote him in the

his eye on the clock and his finger on his pulse he awaited his chance and at laat when he knew h time was come he pnteuded to amok a new visitor ha i entered and so with the ractle in his throat emphasized for dra tuatic effect he said to the servant thin : around john and get the gentleman a chair " and then he died amid thunders of applause next we have benjamin franklin franklin the author f l*oor richard's plaint sayings franklin tne immortal axiom-builder who used to sit up nights reducing the rankest old threadbare plati tudes to crisp and snappy maxims that had acuc varnish'd original look in th>'ir new ccgiraontals who siid virtue is its offn reward who aid i'rocrastmation is the thief of time who said time and tide wait for no man and necessity is the mother of invention good old franklin the josh hillings of the eighteenth cen tury—though sooth to say the latter tran r.iids him in proverbial originality aa much as he falls short of him in correct ness of orthography what sort of tactics did franklin pursue he pondered over hrs last words for as much as two weeks and then win m the time came he said none but the brave deserve the fair and died happy he could not have said a sweeter thing if be had lived till he m-as au idiot byron made a poor business of it and could not thiuk of anything to say at the last moment but " augusta-sister—lady byron—tell harriet

of the heat such an awful scene waa never before witnessed on this con tinent r rest steamers wore constantly arriving from the neighboring towns ami at last there was a perceptible change and when the berries of the pumps were vic torious of the flames women embraced one another for joy and strong men rushed up and bore away the heated timbers as though they were straws no camp meet ing ever sent up as many prayers to god in so phort a time before when the rubbish was cleared away from the abaft shout sfter shout resounded through the valley and a dozen men came forward to attempt a descent into the mine but even in their haate they were cautious a dog aud a lamp were lowered into the black abyss and the air was found to be good again the air was rent with cheers and again the mothers uttered their prayers in fire minutes preparation were made for a descent it was about six o'clock in the evening when a man was lowered in a bucket he returned in a few minutes and reported that he found no difficulty in breathing a thrill of joy ran through the multitude on hearing thiß and immediately two men were sent down with too.s they removed the obstructions and reached the surface at 7 o'clock nine hours after the first alarm was given they re ported that they had penetrated a gangway 00 or 70 yards tiudiny three dead mules they also discovered a gangway door which they battered bo as to be heard above ground o response was made and clouds of sulphurous gases came pouring through the aperture on reaching the top of the shaft the men fainted ut they were soon recovered when the people heard of the gas pouring in from the other parts of the mine they lost all hope rail road and mining officials had l>een arriving all day from up and down the line and merchants and bankers send word that uu money should be lacking later in the evening two men attempted to descend but the fonl air overcame them and one of them mr williams expired a piteous wail went round and the opera tions were snspendod until a fan could be geared to drive out the gases a stationary engine was en cted and soon the powerful fan was forcing great volumes of air into the shaft on

they did not seem to give much expression of pain in the faces of some but rather a look of resigna tion to an inevitable fate which gives to some features a calm and undisturbed ap pearance a force of extemporized police preserved order on the ground and the formality of a cornor's inquest was quickly gone through by a jury under the instructions of acting coroner wadhams mr phil line the out side superintendent of the mine acted as official recognizer as he was acquainted with nearly all the miners wnere his knowledge failed the comrades of the dead man were appealed to and not much delay was undergone in any case before the result was obtained and the corpse handed over to friends who prepared l for interment no one seemed to be utterly friendless or left to charity for becoming
