There were bo services in the ehnroh; that was go ing to wreck and rnirj, too; the baid bad dismantled, aud the Village Im provement Society didn't improve any :hinp.

Alniont all the boys went away as soon as they grew up ; Dave didn't mean to wait until he grew n; he couldn't a-to po many years. 1'an Imry CrotrB.ug was too small a place, any way, for a boy with a Great Ambi tion, lie meant to be a great man, aud of course that eiguiCed a rioU man yon see tome modern ideas had found their w.iy to Banbury Crowing, per tinps with the Sew York newspaper a liioh came weekly to tl, e store sent by :he one old resident who, thriving in the city, bud uot forgotteu to pity t'ue .iullness of Banbury Crossing. Dave read the paper from the beginning to '.he end, advertisements and all, tucked iway behind the 8ugr barrel, while l.e old farmers, wbote chief recrea tion was to "ait in the store," talked jrops, rheumatism and politic. Dave was not so t-illy as to think that he had snly to btep into prond positions, ho knew that a boy who i penniless mnst make a good fight, but he was sure that he was equal to it, if be could inly get away ftom Banbury Crosa :ng. But bow was the man of the family to depart from the little weather-beaten hotitse under the shadow of Smoky li ill, where there was no one to ta! e bis place except young Albertns his ten-year-old brother who, to tell the truth, loved mischief belter thau work? Sis mother had actually turned pale when he hinted his desire to go; Polly and Patty bad begun to cry; yout'g Albertus bad said he guessed "he should HO guuning with .Luke Kunisay, aud Luke Kamaav "was pretty oarele?s with a gun;'' as for Georgunuiia, Dave's sixtten year-old sister, well, she bad only looked at him, but some times Georj-iimua's locks meant agre t deal. If there was anything mean in bim a feilow was conscious of it at once when Georgiai.ua looked at him. Georgianba w is to teach school at Mile End this summer, and although she wag only just sixteen, and for more than a year l ad been sewing for the village dressmaker, and helping the milliner to trim hats, and "hooking" rngs for old Mrs. Pendleton, who had a mama for them and bad lost her eye sight, and, in shorr, doing everything that she co ild. That watGiorgianua'n way to do ever thing that bor hand found to so, aad never grumble about poverty. Dave never hud thonght for a mou.ect l.ut that Banbury Crossing wus a large enough pl.tce for her; of courte things wire d ffeieut for a girl; she had no business to be ambitious. It whs on a bright day in May that he at length m ide np his mind. Jeff Daw kins had u.ncb to do with bringing about the crisis. JetT was seventeen, and had coxe to Banbnry Crossing from a city to work for his uncle, who was the proprietor of the clothes-pin manufactory. And although Jeff Daw kins was not highlv approved of in the village Dave liked his xociety, because, according to his own proud boa.-t, he "know tho world." Biubury Crossing was too "slow" for Jett. The cloth- 8 pin manufactory, wh ch had been con sidered a gre.U enter rise, threatened to share the fate of all things iu that town; it was prt plies ed that Dawkins would fail before another summer. Jeff Dawkins iiad propoeed that they should "run away" together; Dave ob jected to the "rnnuing awa ;" ho preferred to do things in a more man ly fashion. "I'm not that kin !," he said indig nantly, w hen Jell' hud first prop sed it. "We're soldiers in our family, 'wiy back as fur as we can look. My grand father was in the n,r; my fatuer was a ditimuitr-'ioy at Gettysburg. It isn't likely timt I should run awavl" And Jeff hail laughed and said the war was "'wy back," and Dave must remember that it was; uowadays every thing waB busini-ss, aud you ran away if you could make anything by it! Dave revolted ut this sentiment; but then J ff "knew the world;" perhaps he wa nght, aftor all. It might be better to no away s cretly one needn't call it running away it might even be easier tor his mother; and the girls au.t even Albertns won! 1 cry and mako it very htrd if he told them he wa? going. It took several weeks, however, lor JefTs nasonini; to convince Dave, but at last came t:.e d.-y when all his prep arations were con.pleted, nnd he had agreed with Jeff that the next morning, before any one na-tstiriiug, they would shake the tlutd of Banbury Crossing off their foot. Tho family were all in the living room all but Georgianna. And when he opeue 1 the door, the liviug-rooni was a bower. Th t next day was Dec oration Day, and Georgianna had asked him to go to the woods with her for flowers. She had usked him, also, to help her about some "memorial exer-ci.-es." Banbury Crossing had scarcely rememoered the day, but Georgianna had said "it was time that it did." It was just like Georgianna to do things of which no one else thought "Georgianna's in the other room with the Prisby girls," volunteered Polly. "She's trying to make them oare about Decoration Day." Albertus w as helping Patty to hang up some wild cherry branches on the walls of the living room; Putty thonght that everything ought to be decorated In honor of to-morrow. Dave felt that it promised well that Albertus was helping the gills; they would toon learn to dopend ou Alber tus, and so would his mother; he would bo the man of the family. There was a pang in this thought, but Dave stifled 't resolutely. It was hard work for Dave to tie up his little bnudld of clothes that night, harder still to write the letter which he idipped under the door of his mother's room in the gi ay of the morning, He told his mother t .at he was going away with Jeff Daw-kin", who know the world, to bp a treat man; Ihit Georgi anna would t'!nme him, bnlshe mustn't listen to Georgianna, who had always felt too big; that he would send Lor some money as soon as he could; that he mustn't Ut Albertns milk Buiter oup on the wrong side, or fool" with the old nue. W hen he had (dipped the letter ucder the door be stole softly downstairs. He went into th pantry and snatched a mouthful of breakfast, but he la 1 no appetite, and but little time; ho hod fallen asleep in the morning, niter a restless night, and bow it was b;o: i ilaylht. He ran oft, without looking bMk. B could not Leu to look baoii at thm little weather-beaten house with the hop-vice over the door aud the syringa bash i j frout. It brought a lump to his throat to think of it. How Jeff Dnwkins would sneer if he knew it! He ran fa t, for it was growing late, aud people would soon be astir. 1 here was some one in the old burying ground. He was about to take a short cue o cross it when he caught sight ol a girl's hat - Georgianna's best hat: there was lo mistaking it. lie dropped his bundle behind a rt.ck. Ol course t-he had seen him. It as to like Geoigiauna to catch a fel low! Khe u all in her Sunday best, and Lad Hoers in Lcr hands and in her open parasol. "Yea, it is early," she said, in re spouse to Dave's murmured exclama tion, as he allowed his head to appear trying to look entirely at his ease over the stone wall. "1 wanted to decorate grandpa's grave tirst of alL I thought mother would like to see it when she came over. He was such a splenli.l soldier, yon know." Goorgi anuu's face lighted up proudly. "Of course 1 know he was a soldier, but 1 don't tee any sense in making mob a fuss," growled Dave. Georgi auna looketl at him, aud then she sud denly came over to the fence and laid her hen. I on his arm. "Dave, i want ou to help me! I have a great ambition!" "You got a treat ambition?" mur mured Dave. He telt that it was very presuming for a girl to have a great ambition, but perhaps Dot more so than was to be expected of Georgi anna! "People here are forgetting every thing, Dave everything but the every day work and tbe petty oares! 1 hoy don't remember even that wonderful war, and the heroic men who gave their lives. I've made them remember that. They will keep Dec-oration Day, and I'm goiug to try for a real Fourth of July! Von must help mo, Dave. My great ambition is to make Ban bury Crossing grow; to put some life and hope into it. 1 can't blame the boys aud girls who go away. I have wanted to" Georgianna had wanted to go away! this was a new idea to Dave "but we can't go, you and I, on account of mother and the others; of course the descendants of soldiers like us can't desert our posts!" The very thiug he had aaid to Jefl Dawkins, thought Dave, and after ward he had forgotten all hbout it! "Sitioe we can't go away," continued Georgianna, "we'll try to make Ban bury Crossing a better place to live in! I think yon will have a good chance to help me if you go into that manufac tory." Dave made a wry face, Mr. Daw kins had offered him a situation in his manufactory, and his mother wished him to take it "I know it is drudgery, Dave, but it seems to be the right thing to do. And yon oo-ild influence the others there. And more might be made of that manufactory; did I tell you what I heard .Mr. Filkms, tbe Sumner boarders at Aunt Abby's, say about it? Well, you may laugh at a girl who thinks sho can do great things, bnt when we stir all Banbury Crossine the factory will stir, too! YouH see. You'll promise to help me, won't yon, Dave? We'll make them finish the town hall ! I'm going to get up a lit tle entertainment to start the fund. They'll see what we can do to-night O, Dave! I can't do without you for a declamation. There's no one like you for that Will jou try 'Lisfen, young heroes, your country is calling?' " Dave's face kindled. "I like to Rpeak that, I wish I could be a sol dier," he said. "You are one while you stick to your post of duty '." said Georgianna lightly. "And that reminds me that I must run home and put on my kitchen belle apron and help get break fat. You must hurry, too, for I'm afraid mother will have to milk. She's afraid to trust Albertns, yon know." Dave hesitated for one moment; then he kicked his bundle into a crevioe in the wall quite ont of sight; he looked back to the foot of the bill whsre Jeff Dawkins might still be waiting. And then he burned home with Georgi anna. He had not much time to think that day; he was helping to decorate the soldiers' graves in the cemetery. Ban bury Crossing had evidently been patriotio once, for there were many of those graves. And he, happily, re membered "Listen, Young Heroes!" so that ho could recite it at the memor ial exercises which were held in the evening in Georgianna's sohoolroom. There was muoh excitement in Ban bury Crossing the next morning. Polly, whom they sometimes oalled t ie Ban bury Crossing Journal, because she brought home all the news, oame run ning into tbe barn while Dave was milking. "What do you think, Dave! Jefl Dawkins ran away yesterday morning with three hundred dollars bf his un cle's money, and Mr. Dawkins found it out last night, and sent the sheriff alter him and caught bim, and now he's iu the Hockingham jail!'' When Georgianna came out to call them to breakfast she saw Dave star ing speechlessly at Polly, his face as white as ashes. Dave was remember ing mysterious hints that Jeff La 1 given of his intention to share with him because "they should both be in the same boat." He had a shamed facod suspfoion that he had been a simpleton, but even this was almost lost in his joy over his esoape. "Cieorgianna, I'm I'm glad I've got you for a sister," he stammered. "Keally, Duve?" exclaimed Georgi anna, whose astonishment at his ap pearance was by no means lessened by this unprecedeuted tribute to her worth. "Then I 1 never felt like so much of a girl in my life!" Sometimes a fellow could stand it to have Georgianna look at him! But it was not until long afterward that be told GeorgianDa all about it. Just then he could not bear to. He was very thankful that his mother, in her early moruing haste, had stepped npon the letter which he had slipped under her door, and it had been drawn by her dress down into a corner of tho staircase where he had found it un oponed. Long afterward, as has been said, he did tell Georgianna all about it But that was after the new town hall was dedicated, and two new churches bnilt, and people came from all the adjoining towns to tbe Fourth of July celebration, and and the coun try papers all spoke of Banbury Cross ing as "a very nourishing town." Aud not the least among the improvements was the great enlargement of Dawkins' wooden ware manufactory. And the "right hand man" at Dawkins' al though he was still only a boy was Dave Pitcher. Dave can go away from Banbnry Crossing now, if he wishes; but he seems to be of the opinion that Georgianna's great ambition was bet ter than his, and that, thanks to her, tho son of soldier ancestors did not desert bis post Wide Awake. lot CaUridg-s't Kfparte "Do you really believe that aa ass ecr spoke to Balaam?" queried a aoan who Lad prided himself oa hie Intellect Coleridge, to whom tie question was put, reflected very calmly for a few raOMenU, and then re sponded: "My friend.

OUTFIT OF A MODERN ANGLER. ruhln Taekls m rro'invt at Oraat PkUi nl tho Flut Machinery. Tackle made nowadays for troui dsliinir is a dream of exquisite beautv, and the tingle. b of but twenty yean dso look with dumb amazement upon the discarded relics in una at that I time. The rarniers itiy, catcmug trout by the score with a clumsy bean pole, while the llshless sportsman with finest tackle gazes in mute ad miration wondering how it is done, 1? a familiar legend. The newspaper have printed it incessantly, while the illustrated journals liae added thcit tuite until it has become a h.iLpj household story. It was a funny I hyeod and lingered a good while. To-day the angler with flue tackle and the knowledge how to use it it the one who succeeds In luring tli lusty trout from its secluded retreats. Thaddeus Korrls, that estlmabl leader of tho gentle quaker anglers, ic his varied outings on the rnmou Brodhea 1 of Perm ylvania, made u-;t of a fly-casting md twelve ounces ir. weight, where, according to the New York Evenimr Post, t-day a rod ol live ounces is accepted as the extteipe limit, the more popular, c ;ii.illy t i fective and less tiresome tool wei'li iox but four ounces He would doubt less have made a lighter wca: on. f i he built his own tools, had lie been acjuainted with the later methods ol accurately dividing the Japanese bam boo. cementing its sections, whipping them with silk, co:itinj; them with a waterproof solution, and giving as a result a tlshing rod so strong, bo p ia tIe, so delicate in action and so en during as to prove not only perfection iu use and a thin of rare beauty tc the eye, but to teach a we ght meas ured by drachms instead of ounces. The spilt bamboo fishing rod is one ol the triumphs of modern skill and In genuity, and is closely pressed by th silken euame.cd and waterproofed) lines made in this country alone. The same may well be said of reels, a most Important adjunct in the gen tle art of angling. The finest material, the greatest kill, the most experienced labor, and the most perfect machinery are util ized in the creation of the modern angler's outtlt, and as the demand is limited it follows as a natural se quence that these articles are costly. A good hexagonal bamboo tl y rod, the best and most satisfactory pattern yet produced, cost from J5 to $-10(, and with ordinary care will serve fait h fully for many years. Fly rods co-ting J400 are not in general demand, yet they are on sale at this moment In the showreom of a Broadway tackle house, and rare superb examples ol the high state of perfection reached in their manufacture and of the ex quisite manner in which gold flllairree can be fitted to the butt or handle o' Miese imp'ements. In m Canning Funtorr. 'Were you evor in a canning far Kiry? No? Well, you ou 'httovsit one. Great place. I witnessed the operation of canning pears in th western part of the Mate last fall." "What's wonderful about it" "Let mo t'll you. Women pared ihe fruit and split the pears into quarters. The hitter were placed in cans wttha little sugar, and cuds were soldered on the cans. I was puzzled, for I noticed that when my wife did up pears she cooked them first and consulted a book, and talked about pound for pound. Well, alter a t oy has filled a tray with the catis there was a vent hole in the top of each can he carried the t ay to another room. Theia was a big machine about twenty feet long with a gal vanized Iron tank at each end. The first tank was the exhauster, the sec ond tho cooker. Each tank has an endless chain carrier which receives the trays. The carrier goes through the exhauster and then the cans run th ou,rh the cooker which Is fl led with bulling water. The speed with which the cairier makes its rounds is carefully regulated so that the fruit is conked uniformity and properly.

The town provides them wiUi a tini fonn, but each one of 'hem may de cide for himself whether he will use it or not So long as his own clothes are whole and clean he is at liberty to wear them.

It belonged to an Km press of Japan who lived in the thirteenth century, and It has kept all these centuries in a temple near Yokohama, where the priests some times exhibit it for a sufficient re ward. It is kept In an old coffer. and it is shrouded In white silk. The robe or robes, for there are seven of them, are de-cribed as a diaphanous mass, crumbling at the edges with d cay. The material Is crepe or some llliuy stuff, and the eject must be like that worn by Loie Fuller. It is made with a ion train, pagoda sleeves and a hUh collar like a Medicis cu!T. The upper layer was once white, and is now the color of ivory, embroidered with fiyirg birds the size of crows, with dragon's heads, gretm, blue, and violet. Then come seven layers of the silk muslin, yellow, blue, violet, old gold, and green, on which seem scattered strange ani mals, all in ilight Th seventh, which touches the tody of the long dead Empress, Is violet embroidered with figures like phantoms.

The said exile is no other than tho famous bell of Ujilioh, ban ished to Tobolsk in 1598 ly order of the 0ar Boris Godunoff for bavin rung the signal for the insurrection in Uglich at the time of the assassin ation of the Crown Prince DiruitrL Writing of it In his book Mr. Kennan says: "The exiled bell has boon purged of its iniquity, has received ecclesiastical consecration, and now calls tho orthodox people of Tobolsk to prayers. The inhabitant of Ug lich have recently been trying to re cover their boll ujion the plea that it has been sufficiently punished by three centuries of exile for its Dolitlcal un tn;stworth'ness in 5U?,, and that it ought now to bo allowed to return to Its home. Tho mayor of Tobolsk ar gues that the bell was exiled for life, and that consequently its trm of hanih merit has not vet. ex oi red. He contends, furthermore, that even ad mitting tho original title or tne L g l!ch people, three centuries of adverse possession by the city of Tobolsk have divested tho claimants of all their rights, and that the boll shall be al lowed to remain where it U. The question, it is said, will be carried Into the Russian courts."

When Dr. Hcol'eman excavated the ancient city of Troy, he made muny wonderful discoveries that should be of as great, interest to the amntour china painter as to the student. Among the wonderful remains of pot tery which I :T buried for so many cen turies, w T articles of utility that tbe present v-outury has no ronception of. The good housewife of the pres ent oge fnrnixlies her kitchen witli a great vari "f tin wares that are of comparaliv-,. ahort duration, whereas the ptirveywi ct an ancient Trajan or OreeK kitchen invested .n utensils that not only outlasted the generation, but alter thoiisr.U of years ore in exist ence, to show the domestic customs and usages of that ancient nation. Onr bread in cities is kept fresh in tin boxes, japanned, an I elaborately embellished with ilaring letters and flourishes in cheap gold paint. The wholesome conntrv-made bread is in i-tone jars, of which the housewife has a goodly store, perhaps inherited from her mother or grandmother. They never rust nor wear out, and will be as valuable for the name pnrpose a hundred or a thousnnd years hence as they are to-dav. There are muny ways in which productions of the potter's art were made useful in ancient times which are entirely unknown in tho present age; for instance, the cellars to the houses were enormons jars seven feet or ruort hish, as wide iu propor tion, aud used for the storage of pro visions as are our cellars of to-day. Of tuoh great weight were these jarei if jars they may be called that it re quired the united strength of fourteen strong laborers an entire day to trans I ort tine the distance of five hnndred feet. Two working-meu utilized a similar jar as a lo.lgiug house during the process of excavation". Weapons and articles of warfare were kept in earthenware receptacles of great pro portions. 1 he bonnes were sometimes composed of terra-cotta blocks, the interior of the fluest rooms were dec orated with encanslio tiles. On the tables of the emperors and the peas ants were exiimples of the earthenware of that period, elaborate or simple, ac cording to the conditions. Tho cook ing uteuHils were all of earthenware; handles to a great variety of articles of utility and clothes-pins for use in hanging out clothes were of the same material. The fishers sank their nuts with weights of terra-cotta, and from the cradle to the grave the ieople of ancient Troy were familiar with the potter's art. hen at hist life ended, provisiou had been made to secure etern d peace to the ashe- of the de parted by enclosing them in an earth enware (or terra-cotta i urn. Ho much for the esteem in which this most wonderful of all tne arts was held by the mont highly civilized nation in the history of the world. Still more wonderful, to the student of ceramic history, is the relation tbat exits between tbe tiolil. productions of the various nations, whose precise date of existence archteologists undertake to fix. We are shown a jng or vase with certain linos of decoration, and are as sured that it was discovered in the ruins of an ancient city, dating Lack two thousand years, and we kuow that on our owu continent iu the ancient Aztec and Tohec ruins similar shapes in earthenware form, with precisely the same decorations, have been found. Ignatins JJonullr, iu his most interest ing work, entitled "Atlantis, or tbe Antediluvian World," writes in a very interesting manner on this subject, nnd students of porcelains will do well to purchase this book as oue of refer ence, his observations on this subject are undoubtedly accurate. A discovery, termo 1 "most curious," is that of the unearthing of thonsands of diso-like forms in terra-cotta, called whorls. Why they are so designated is not explained. Some eighteen thouBaud were found in the aucient cities, and, no donbt, as many more were overlooked. Xhey were thought to bo votive offerings by their discov erers, but it is far more probable, judging from their size, shape and decoration, that they were used ns coin for simple purchases, or given in change when those of metal were not available. They are of dillbrent ool ors: lied, black, yellow aud gray, and are generally perforated. The '"dec orations'' aro rude drawings in the most primitive style, simple lines crossing each ot'ier, or radintmg from a centre. Sometimes, one discerns forms that may be interpreted as rep resentations of animals extinct at that period, or symbols of the religions rites then in roue, as altar fires, idol worshiping, etc., and as such they are given to history, but it is far more probable tbat they were in use for trade and barter. True, the natione in that period were rich in gold and silver, and the city of Troy was oalled the "City of Gold." "Illon famed of old. For brass exhausUese, and for mines of gold." But the poor we have always with us, and it is not probable that the poor of the city of Troy need coin of either gold or silver. Whorls have also been discovered in Sicily, of similar form and precisely the same decoration. The same decoration haj been found on vases ot anoient origin, from the ruins of Myoens, Athenian, and Cor inthian cities. On the pre-historio pottery of many nations the same ideas are expressed. In Palestine, on the Iberian coins of Asido, on vases and terra cottas of Hungary and Germany In Milan they are used in ecclesiasti cal deoorationa, and times without number the same designs appear ia the Catacombs of Borne, wbieh, no do donbt, served as sepulohree for Pagana loa before the Christian era. toa Mia c4 PoatwU mivA houses and publto dwellings were em bellished with designs fimi!ar to. if not exactly li!ie, t'.ose ou the whorls ol Troy. In Irelaud the same flgnre ap pears on fnctral urns, as well aa in England in certain dl-triets. Linplaud fiirnibbes the same expressed i leas on various articles of pottery, and thou sand! of miles away one finds the ex act counterpart of these designs in Yucatan. In Afrtca the savages have learned or inherited the art of deoor attng various article'! with these de signs, and in muny other parts of the world. Jt is not to be doubted that they had a common origin, and that in ages long pimt there was some weaws of commnnioating between the conn tries. , The discoveries of Rohliman are of invaluable iuterest to the ceramist, and it cannot be denied that the pottery has furniwhed mfor-lV.ion of greater valne than any other character of the discoveries. The near future will con tinue to adtl facts to ancient history through the medium of pottery, that wi;l change muny pages of written his- ,orv- i The C'tinrt Decorator. To Clean a fjhlmmey.
