THE REWARD. ; J J. M. Lewis in Houston Post. When the sun gets low and it's time to hike From my work to my resting place, I like To take my time with my coat and hat An' think of the home where my kids are at; An' think of how they will run an' be Plum' tickled to death when they see me, An' how they will scatter along the ii' street, The older one with her living feet v And her hair blown wild and h< r arms held out? At quittin' tl at's what I think about. An' I think of r iv In.by, i y littlest one, How h follows : tor and tries to run On uncer tin Itvn with her lip ; apout.

MICHAEL'S \ The'cornerstone of the Church *' of St. Michael, in Charleston, was laid in 17 " 2, on the site first ^ occupied i > el i St. i hiilip's, one ' of the most ancient colonial churches in America. It was not until twelve years later th a ^ the chimes of eig'ht bells was installed in th*. high steeple, say. ^ a writ- r in Harper's Weekly, winch hmg se/ved a?- a guide to j marin es along that part oi' the Carolina coast. The money for these oells was raised by popular subscription, and they were east . in London. It was a gain day ] when lliey arrived and were swung into place in the lofty belfry, where every one thought th it they woTild ring for all time to come. A life of devotion and peace j had been arranged for them, but I it continued only eighteen years. j Then their vieissitudinous history ]j began. When the British evac- S uatcd Charleston Major Traille, j of the Royal Aiiiiiery, claimed ? c tw. in ... ? . i V..V- v>5>ik 'JT:C Oi me j ? perquisites of war. He took them back to England, and there ; they were sold. Sir Guy Carletoii, : who was then at New York, was $ appealed to, and he issued an ! ? order for the return of the 1 ells. ]? Meanwhile, they had been bought ? in London by a Mr. Hybenau, fcr- ^ merly a merchant of Charleston, 0 as a "commercial venture." He (jj had them shipped back to their | former home, hoping to make a s profit on their sale when they 'a arrived. is Just after the battle of Seces- g sionville, in 18G2, St. Michael's jj? chimes were taken down to escape being injured in the 9 bombardment of Charleston. fiS They were sent to Columbia for B safety. This move turned out a disastrously, for during the occupation of Columbia by Sher- m man's army, the bells were burned in the fire of February " 17, 1865. But they were so ' loved that the fragments were sacredly guarded, and when the ' war was over these pieces of old , metal were shipped to England, to Mears & Steinbank, in London, the successors of the first founders, and recast. Strange ,j as it may seem, the original moulds into which they had been poured a century before, had still | been preserved. In February, 1867, the eight bells came backjS once more to Charleston. The fl entire set of chimes had crossed s the Atlantic five times, and two ? of the bells seven. .Since then they have passed ; unharmed through many dangers. In spite of cyclones and , earthquakes that nearly demolished the church, they still**" swing uninjured high up in their steeple. Every Sunda they call ; the people for half an hour be- j for#* th#> Mmp of #?n#*h flPrvi/'P > They toll or ring joyously to S mark anniversaries or holidays; I in fact, their mellow sound is one I of the chief beauties of the | picturesque old town by the sea. {[ t ; . g ' '' ^ r each Baseball Goods ' iI* I m I / s , - J '1 he Reach trademark is a guarantee I , pcneetion.
