T was “meeting, time” in Iluddor- fleld, Massachusetts Ray Colony, on a Sunday morning in June, 1670. The fifty or sixty log bvildings which made up the Bottiu- V- mont stood silent l.'^S-as so many tombs among the black stumps of tlio half- cleared Holds, lorevory soul in the place from the old inan of ninoty to thoyoung, eat child, was in the mcetlng-houso on the hill—every soul, that is, oxcopt Abner True. Abner True, whoso father was deacon and tithing-mau, and counted second only to tho ministor himself in rigid piety, was actually playing truant from meeting; and this in a villago which looked upon Plymouth and Woy mouth ns dangerously worldly towns, relaxed in morals and mauners by over much prosperity. But Abner had worked from sun to sun every day of tho last week, and know he must do tho same evory day of tho next week aud the week after that for tho corn was to bo hoed, tho grass crops got iu, and a scoro of other tasks to be dono. It seemed to him too hard that, on this one day of rest, he should be obliged to sit upon a backless plank bench all the foronoon, if, indeed, ho did not find himself forced to sit thore longer; since Parson Pladiey, who rarely preached less than three hours, sometimes preached four, and onco or twice had been known to exceed five hours. Abner felt sure that the sermon would not be a short ouo this day, even accord ing to the preacher's ideas of brevity; and the more ho thought of it tho more ho dreaded it, until ho bocamo willing to incur any punishment for tho sake of escaping that discourse. So when Deacon Amos, with his wife nnd younger children, were ready for mooting, no Abner could be found. Hidden in the littlo liay-mow of tho rough barn, he saw tho family depart— his father marching ahead, equipped with musket, bandoleer und powder- horn; for King Philip aud his Indians were at war against the whites, and no man throughout the colony went to Bold or church without his arms. Similar groups, similarly accoutred, pneed solemnly along toward tho rude sanctuary upon the hill, until Abner, seeing that all Huddersfield had passed, ABSTRACTS FURNISHED FREE TO ACTUAL PURCHASERS IS “p^Vto“p^T pare for tho sound nap ho had so longed for. Below old Fly, the farm horse, stamped and munched; without, the hens crowed in the sunsliinc, with a drowsy note that should have been favorable enough for slumber. But between bis guilty con sciousness of wbat be had done and his dread of Deacon Amos would do, Abner could not manago to go to sleep. He began to wish himself upon that backless plank bench, even if the sermon were to last all day; yet a tardy arrival would be nearly as great offonce as not to come at all; and he had not the courage to meet tho public reproof which Parson Pladiey might administer, or to hasten the private cnastisement that Deacon Amos would surely infiict. The time went on. The old house was Btill now; the hens uttered only an occasional croak. From the far distaucc the preacher’s voice came down on the warm breeze in a softened murmur. Abner was dozing. What was that? He heard a sound that wakened him quite, and he sprang up to listen. Nothing but a slight swishing sound in the tall grass behind the barn—noth ing but that. It was probably some fox or polecat on tho watch to sn atch a chicken. Abner peered out through a crack to 3eo if he could discover the animal, for the 3wishing sound seomod drawing near.

In the meeting-house Parson Pladiey had turned his big hour-glas3 twice, and now the sands of the third hour were almost spent. Before him rows of serious men, women and children in reverent attention, not once removing their earn est eyes from the minister. The heavy door was Hung open and shut again with a loud bang that startled every member of the congregation. A boy, staggering ami streaming with per spiration, ran up tho broad nislo and’ fell exhausted at tho foot of tho pulpit. Every man stretched out his hand to tlio muskot that stood.bosido him; but no ono rose, no ono said a word or ut tered an exclamation. Whatever tho danger was—and they knew woll what it might bo—this was God’s house, nnd in it nono but God’s servant should raise a voice or ypnturo upon any notion unloss ho permitted. Tha ministor dosceudod from his plaoo, lonnod over tho panting Abner nnd caught tho few words tho boy bad strength to whisper: “Savages—full fivo scoro—stonling up—to take us unaware 1" Tlio ministor returned to tho pulpit. “Kindle your matches, brethren,” said he, iu a voice of perfect tranquility. The ring of flint nnd stool souuded all over tho houso. “Make ready your guns,” continued tho ministor, taking up a hoavy musket, and blowing tho match, or fuso, by which it was discharged. "Musketeers, to your stations. Yo that liava but swords or pikes, sit fast.” Tlio congregation obeyed those ordors ns calmly as thoy .had boon given. Twonty-flvo mon, bended by Deucon True, silently ranged thomselvos the loopholes whioli wore pierced in the door nnd along tho walls. Each know his position, and took it without delay or hesitation; wliilo the fifteen men who had no firearms sat stiffly on the benches with tho women nnd children, most of whom had not looked behind them siuco Abner rushed in. Parson Pladiey looked at tho hour glass, which still continued to run, and quietly resumed his 'sermon. Around tho aides of tho room tlio muskQtcors stooped at the loopholes amid the light vapor from their smouldering matches. On tho benches tho body of listeners kept their composed countenances turned upon tho preacher. Save his voioo, there was no sound but. an Infrequont motalllo rattlo, as some musketeer ex amined his gun or loosen his iron-hiltod broadsword in tho scabbard. Tlio words of tho preachor sang throughout tlio houso: “Aud ovou as aforctimo tlio heathen did furiously rago, and did compass tho children of tho covenant with spear and javelin round about-?—" A high-pitched, thrilling scrooch tilled the air without, and now rose above the minister’s voioo. It was snstainod aud prolonged in mnny suvago throats There came quick, sharp pattoriugs on tho roof und wails, like hailstones. Enoch Brett fell backwnrd from his loophole with an arrow through tho brain. Another man fnso from his soat, picked VP the .gun,'hich Brett had dropped, aud tookjth#vacaa,.t station. A dozen muskets aiiwored tho storm of missels. Tlifcir firu aoemed to check the advanco of the Indians, inasmuch as the war cry grow fainter, and tho pat tering of the arrows diminished Parson Pladiey had not interrupted his sermon, although his voice had been temporarily drowned by the noise of the assault and dofence, except for tho in- stnnt that ho cast one glanco at tho mus ket bosido him, aud anothor at tho hour glass. All the men who could act were at their posts; why should ho not continuo to the end, wliilo waiting for tho des- perato struggle whioh must come? His sonso of duty told him that ho ought not to cease his holy office before tho ap pointed time, oxcopt under compulsion in whioh ho must recognize tho hand of God. Ills hearers understood this as well as if lie had declared Ills determination in so many words. They did their part by listening with stendy attention Again tho cries grew louder und arrow flights thicker. Tho guns re plied, hut this time tho attack was not repulsed. A ponderous thumping on tho door, which shook the wholo building, told that some kind of battering-ram wus being employed to break it down, few more such shocks and tho door must lull. Only n pinch or two more of sand re mained in tho hour glass- Still it was not quite empty and Parson Pladiey preached on. Crash! The door was half off its hinges. The firearm men crowded bo- hind it and deliverd a volley that ap peared for a minute to clour the passage. There was yet some sand in tho hour glass. Tho parson’s lips could bo soen to raovo, though his voice was not heard. A renewed yell and the crashing blows once more beat upon tho door. No allots an -wered this time, for tho muskets wero empty. An arrow whistled across the church and stuck quivering in tho front of tho pulpit. Around the edges of tho shat tered door hatchets and clubs wero brandished in the faces of the defend ers, who dashed them aside with the butts of their guus, Tlio woraon began to scream. The last sand ran out of the hour-glass. Parson Pladiey bowed his head and said, “Amen I" And all the congregation answered together, “Amen!” Up sprang tho hitherto motionless listeners—women to the rear, men to tho front—and from tho pulpit tho old minister, with sword and gun, led the way to the aid of tho others, who wero beginning to give ground before the of hideously-painted figures who wero forc ing their way through the entrance. Then came out another side of the Puritan character. The fierce energy— almost joy—with which the colonists fought was as susprisingas tho stony self- control thoy had shown but a moment before. Ahead of them all, Parson Pladiey swung his mighty sword with cries which betrayed the old horse- soldier of Cromwell aud Harrison, foi such lie had been and of those who fol lowed him, more than one had stood iu the ranks of the pikemen who met the charges of Prince Rupert’s Cavaliers, aad repelled them, too. As if he remembered this, the minis ter lifted up his strong voice iu a stern Psalm which had thundered over tho bat tlefields of Naseby aad Marston Moor the war song of David the joining over his victory j 'I liavo pursued mlno enomies and overtaken thorn; neither did I turn again till thoy wore cousumed. I liavo wounded them that won not abio to rise; thoy are fallen un- dor my feet. For Thou hast girded mo with strength unto tho battle; Thou has sub- dyod under mo those that rose up against mo.” Tlio Indians wero like wolves combat ing lions. They shrank, wavered and wero pressed back to tlio door, through it, and outside of it. Thon, by ono last rush, thoy wero broken, senttorod aud dispersed. They ran in every direction for tho shelter of tho woods; many of them foil by tho way under tlio pikes and swords of their pursuers. Hudders field was saved. Within tho meeting-house, now half- ruinod, dim with powder-smoko and heaped with broken bouohos, arrows and dead bodies, tlio congregation ga thorod around its ministor, who, blackened and bloody, with gown torn to shreds and a great slash across liis forehead, onco more raised up Ilia voice—this tlmo in tlio glorious strain of ono of thoir tri umphant hymns. All joinod in it—oven the wounded, who could scarcely lift their heads from tho ground, and the dying, who sang their own breaths away iu tho grateful chorus. When tlio injured had boon eared for, and there was once more time for or dinary matters, Parson Plndloy called Abner True to him. Son Abner, thou didst woll so cun ningly to avoid thoso ruthless savages, aud privily warn us betimes. For this thou mcritost reward.” Abner looked up, astonished. “Aud this shall bo thy reward—that for thy wilful tarrying away from tho sanctuary thou shalt receive no discipline from tho church.” “But my father will—” staramored the boy. Of a surety ho will," placidly replied the iniuistcr, “and .r trust it may do theo good." Come with mo, Abner," said Deacon Amos.—Youth’s Companion. PEN PICTURE OF THE PLACE FROM HIS OWN HANDS.

In response to that expressed wish I have arrived hero and begun the work of gathering nnd chia- 6ltylng data for publication, hoping by tlio genoral nnd wide-spread use of this infor mation to attract immense crowds of capi talists, und nt the same time get perhaps a town lot as a testimonial from the cham ber of commorco. Tho World’s Consumption of Coal. A statistician lias lately boon engaged in estimating tho world’s consumption ol ooal. He divides his figures into foui groups, embracing respectively tho quan tity of coal used in heating steam-boil- ors, in tho production of gas, in tho ex traction of metals from their ores, and for household purposos. It may ho taken, he says, that tho total steam en gine capacity of the globe is equivalent to 10,000,000 horse-power, nnd that, having regard to the utilization of other fuels, the quantity of coal burned with tho objoct of producing steam averages 4.4 pounds per horso-powor por hour, or an hourly aggregate of 12,000 tons. Ia all probability, however, this iq an under estimate, ns tho efficiency of tho world’s steam engines is calculated by some to bo 20,000,COO horse-power. With re spect to tho manufacture of gas, the hourly consumption of the illuminating aeriform fluid is given as 5,000,000 cubio metros, which would necessitate tho dis tillation of at least 10,000 tons of coal per hour. More difficult to calculate is the consumption of coal for the produo tion of power and heating gas; it may be estimated, our authority thinks, at 4500 tons por hour. A largo quantity of coal is used iu tho reduction of metals from their ores. It is calculated that iu this way some 9000 tons of the mineral are consumed every hour. A apocial os timato gives the qunutity burnt hourly by works and factories at 5000 tons. Tlio most difficult calculation is that of the domestic consumption of coal. It ia estimated at 55,000 tons per hour, 1,320,000 tons per day of twenty-four hours. This figure, howover, uppears rather small considering that in Great Britain nnd Germany alone the daily output of coni in recent years has nver aged 600,000 tons, and that the extrac tion in uli oilier countries may bo reck oned ns one nnd n hulf times this quan tity.—London Iron. Few Ilound-top Trunks, Now. There are comparatively few round top trunks made now. Tho idea was that greater resisting power could bo obtained with least weight, but, unfor tunately, there was no guarantee that tho baggage-smasher would nlways stand tho trunk tho right way up. His failure to do this gavo numberless re minders of tho fact that no box is stronger than at its weakest point, and tho damaged sides became very common. Now most trunks aro made with flat tops, and are so strong all over that it is very difficult, even for an expert trunk-smasher, to break one. — St. Louis yiobo-Democrat. Puro Nickel Currency. It is probable that tho Austro-Hun garian Government will adopt puro nickel for its currency. The alloyed coin generally used, containing only twenty-five percent, of nickel, combined with sewfc’ty-Uvo per cent, of coppor, possesses,-it is considered, numerous dis advantages, while tho favorable points of the pure nickel piece are that, not withstanding its hardness, it can oasily be coined, that it has the quality of ex traordinary durability, loss by wear and tear being reduced to a minimum; that it is preserved clean in circulation and that no oxidization worth mentioning sets in.—Iron Age. It’s the “Statu of Maine.” Why do the people of our moat North western States always talk of tho State of Maino instead of simply using the ono word “Maine?” Tho explanation is as follows! Up to the year 1820 this por tion of tho country was politically at tached to the State of Massachusetts and was known as the “District of Maine.” After it was incorporated into a State and admitted into the Union the people from long habit continued to place the preposition “of" boloro the word “Maine,” and the custom has been con- Ktng, re- tinued to the present time. —Boston 1 Globe, - LOOKING UP DOX ELDER STREET IN 1850. Tidd’s Nook lias one of tlio most urablo olimatos of which wo know. It resembles that of Genoa, yet without the crowded and uuhealthful apartmonts given 10 tho poor of Genoa for occupation. The climate of Tidd’s Neck is extremely luscious and bracing. Thore are no extromos of heat end cold, and yet there is enough variety in the course of the year to make tho sale of clothing a good, active business. What could be more delightful than this —•a health giving and beautiful climate, yot ono which will give good returns to tho overshoe aud linen coat doalor? Tidd’s Neck has boon truthfully called tho Gem City of tho Everglades. In 1847 Peter Stuyvesant Overholt, of Mussor’i Hook, while looking for tho best possible location to whioh ho could come while re covering from a felon, lost his boaring while under the influence of liquor aud discovered what is now called Tidd’s Nock Finding that hero he could bo. alone with felon for several days, he remained free to mnko such remarks us go with a felon gon orally, aud sustained himself by means of roots, herbs and spirits, thus purifying bis blood and giving lilmself a sharp, ravenous appetite. Remembering this place in 1850, at which time ho received u small pension as a sol dier In ono of the Indian wars, ho decided to build at Tidd’s Neck. His original home stead is shown ou the loft in the following sketch: Mr. Overholt soon discovered that the olimato was especially suited to the en couragement of homo ties. lie felt lonely at first, but one homo tie seemed to call for anothor till by and by all scorned lively and gay, aud the old feeling of loneliness passed away. Wo next introduce a view of Box Elder street in I860, merely to show' what im provements have boon made in that time by the early settlers of Tidd’s Neck. This onward march of prosperity and wealtli was soon, however, to bo checked by tho war. slon, and Tidd’s Neck made few strides for time oxcopt to change the grade of Box Elder street, taking off about two acres of Mrs. Overholt’s lot, and also charging her $8.75 for the benefit that It would bo to have the stroot run past her house. Mayor Edwin McGarglo was thon em powered to go on east to hoII the street im provement bonds in New York and Boston. At least tho board of aldermen told him he might do so if he had a good chance, ns| they sootnod to understand that he was go' ing on to Now York anyway ou other; business. Tho mayor may bo discovered at the; right hand corner of tho First National, bank of Tidd’s Neck in tho drawing which I made o[ tho building this morning. Much surprise was manifested by tho board when tho mayor returned somewhat clmstoned and presented his hill for per sonal expenses while in New York floating the bonds, aud also for mutorial to iioat them iu. The following Is a resume of tho bill sent In by Mayor McGarglo: Town opTidd s Neok.

Box Elder stroot especially was a mass of flames. The-ehrill cry of flro swolling into a sul len roar while tho hungry flames, like great fork—cd tongues, licked up tho last pat of butter the widow Overholt had. Great, strong mon ran to and fro wringing their bands or rushing madly into the heat and trying to savo the nice, new grind stone. Now the flames licked up the husk bed* tick in the window and opened up a draft of air which fanned the furiotw blaze into a perfect pandomoniura. Thon there was a hush like that of death, and In the midst of it the insurance on the building was board to expire. LOOKING UP BOX ELDER STREET IN 1860. [Showing growth of tho town iu northwesterly direction. Just as Mr. Ovorholt was about to inau. gur&te other and greater improvements, among them the removal of tho feather tick in the window on this etui of the house, tho country was plunged iuto a fratraoidal strife. Hastily calling his family together at Foley’s Grove, ho stated briefly that the war had been brought on by others who had more means thau he had, and also that poor people would have to do most of the fighting and take their pay in wooden legs, so he had thought seriously of sccodiug from the war altogether. “Regarding this,” said he, “as a rich man’s war and a poor man’s light, I have decided to take a vacation ami visit Mexico and the home of tho Moutezumas, with whom I was partially acquainted.” Ho then sot aside a couple of days for kiss ing his children goodby, and quietly at eventide, us the whippoorwill’s song died away in the distance, Mr. Ovorholt did tho same, und has never been seen siuco. At this point is given a rough drawing of the well-known Tidd’s Neck cross-walk brought here from Pompeii. As the streets are often flooded with water, those step ping stones are of great value in crossing tlio streets, while they may bo driven c in the daytime quite frequently without running across ono of tho larger stones. This crosswalk has been extensively copied by other towus in the south, but this is the original one from Pompeii.

General Tom Thumb became a pIiivc to the drink habit, iu his hitter days- After Barnum had taken him to Europe and had advertised him very.extensively a shrewd theatrical manager conceived the idea of starting him in a liliputinu play. A contract was signed and tlio tour begun. Tlio General hud no dramatic ability, but the play gave him very little work to do and people turned out to see tho famous little man whom Bnrruim’S genius had made known tho world over. Then ho began to drink heavily and very often disappointed largo audiences by being unable to appear, says the Chicago Mail. After seeing his money squandered iu this manner until patience ceased to bo a virtue, tin; manager decided to adopt heroic measures, lie set himself to watch the General nnd never let the little fellow get out of his sight for a moment. At St. Louis the manager had occasion to leave the hotel for nn hour, and, de termined not to tako any chance, locked the General in his room. W lien he re turned ho was struck speechless with astonishment. The door was locked, but stretched upon the floor was Tom Thumb as drunk as a lord. No sooner had the manngor left than the General rattled the door until ho attracted the attention of the boll boy. Slipping a dollar under the door ho in structed the boy to go to a saloon, buy a pint of whisky and an ordinary clay pipe. When the boy returned the C on iral told him to put the pipe stem through the keyhole mid pour the liquor into tho bowl. He did so, and the dwarf, stand ing on tiptoe, plac' d his lips to the pipe stem and drank himself into total un consciousness.
