"He That Rune May Read’* Wee Twiet
ed by Cowper and Tennyaen.
Some of the most frequently used
quotations are not quotations at all,
but in many cases convey the op
posite meaning of the original
wording.
William Cowper, for . instance,
thought he was quoting from the
Bible when he spoke of an inscrip
tion being so devised that “he who
runs may read,” signifying that it
was easily read by a man in haste.
If Cowper had looked in his Bible
he would have found in the book of
Habakkuk that the passage he tried
to quote is, “Write the vision and
make it plain that he may run that
readeth it.”
The vision was a warning, and
the reader was to flee from danger,
but the Cowper version has surviv
ed the original and practically put
it out of use.
A popular chronic misquotation
is that of the passage in “lfudi
bras” which says, “He that com
plies against his will is of the same
opinion^till.” Authors and public
speakers without number have
twisted that into “A man convinced
against his will is of the same opin
ion still,” forgetting that a man
who was convinced could not pos
sibly remain of his previous opinion,
for if he was of the same opinion
he would not be convinced.
One of our presidents publicly de
clared that Washington in his fare
well address said, “To be prepared
for war is the most effective means
to promote peace.” But the first
president said nothing of the sort
in his farewell address. In his first
message to congress he said, “To
be prepared for war is one of tlie
most effective means of preserving
pence,” and he spoke of other
means as well.
Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
Scriptures somehow, and Sir Walter
Scott in “The Heart of Midlothian”
attempts to point a moral with the
words, “Our simple and unpretend
ing heroine had the merit of those
peacemakers to whom it is promised
as a benediction that they shall in
herit the earth.”
The fact is that the peacemakers
did not receive any such promise,
but it is said that “the meek shall
inherit the earth.”—New York Sun.
Matter of Fact.
A visitor from London found in
a cafe at Rotterdam a Dutchman
who had been about a bit and who
spoke English perfectly well.
This Dutchman was smoking a
china pipe of remarkable size and
beauty, and the Londoner, an ad
mirer and collector of such bric-a
brac, took the liberty to comment
upon it.
“You could not stumble unon a
pipe like that every day,” s;aid the
Englishman.
The Dutchman took three or four
whiffs at the pipe and then slowly
removed it from his month.
“Certainly not without breaking
it,” he said gravely. — London
Chronicle.
Carlyle’s Bumptiousness.
Joachim, the great violinist, was
introduced to Carlyle by a mutual
friend. The sage was about to take
his morning walk, and he asked
Joachim to accompany him. Dur
ing a very long walk in Hyde park
Carlyle kept the conversation run
ning on Germany and its gr.eat men
—the Fredericks, Moltke and Bis
marck— until at last Joachim
thought it was his turn to take a
lead, and he started with the in
quiry, “Do you know Sterndale
Bennett?”
“No,” was the reply, and, after
a pause, “1 don’t care generally for
musicians; they are an empty, wind
baggy sort of people.”
Finding Fault.
It .requires very little ability or :
none at all to see Haws or to find
fault. A measure of knowledge and
of power is essential to perceive
what is commendable or to build
up what is of value. This is why j
there are so many more who are j
ready to point out mistakes in a j
system of human government or in I
the crude efforts of a schoolboy
than there are who can see and
show the points worthiest of com
mendation in the thing under ex
amination. But an ounce of con- i
structive aid is worth many tons of ■
destructive criticism..
Preaching and Practice.
Literary Lady (writing) — The
most essential point in our inter
course with children is to be truth
ful ourselves. Every other interest
ought to be sacrificed to that of
truth.
Tommy—Ma, Mrs. Caller is com
ing in at the gate.
Literary Lady (angrily)—If she
asks for me tell her I’m out of
town. (She resumes writing.) When
we in any way deceive a child we
not only set a pernicious example,
but also lose our influence over him
forever.—London Tit-Bits.
* VANfStiED WAffSfflPS.
Two of Unci# Sam’s Voooala of Which
No Trace Waa Ever Found.
Curious disappearances and acci
dents to our warships characterized
the early history of our navy, and in
spite of all the efforts of the navy
department to explain the cause of
the disasters many of them are as
absolute mysteries today as when
they happened.
When the government built ten
new gunboats to prosecute the war
against Tripoli in 1805, they were
sent out as soon as they were finish
ed and before they were named.
Each one was given a number and
dispatched to the seat of war. No.
7 sailed from New York July 20,
1805, under the command of Lieu
tenant Ogelvic, and after she clear
ed Sandy lfook light she was never
heard from again. She went down
with all (V) board before she had
even been named.
Among other cases ol disaster
which are attributed to the violence
of the waves or weather there is
none more interesting that that of
the strange fate of the Saratoga.
When she sailed from Philadelphia
in October, 1780, under the com
mand of Captain James Young,
there was no liner or handsomer
war vessel afloat. That she was as
formidable as she was attractive
was soon demonstrated in a practi
cal way I After cruising around a
short time she captured three Brit
ish vessels in succession, and then,
with her prizes, she started to re
turn to Philadelphia, but off the
Delaware capes she encountered a
British ship of the line. As the
Saratoga carried only eighteen guns
and the Intrepid was a seventy-four
gun ship, Captain Young considered
it safer to run away. The enemy
did not chase her far, but returned
to protect and recapture the Brit
ish prizes. The Saratoga sailed
away in the very teeth of a storm,
and she was never heard from
again.
A most extraordinary accident
was that which happened to the cot
vet Monongahela at Santa Cruz in
1807.
While at anchor in the harbor a
tremendous tidal wave lifted her
upon its crest and carried her clean
over the town of Fredcrichstadt
land back again without injuring the
j town or the boat to any great ex
| tent. The receding wave landed
I her on the beach instead of in the
| deep water of the harbor, and it
| cost our government $100,000 to
! float her again.
l-ully as strange was the late ot
the sloop of war Waterce. She was
anchored in the harbor of Alien.
1 Peru, in 18(1.8, when a huge tidal
! wave swept inland and flooded the
whole city. The wave carried the
[sloop several miles inland and final
ly landed her in the midst of a
tropical forest. It was impossible
to release her from such a peculiar
position, and the government sold
her for a nominal sum. The pur
chasers turned the vessel into a
hotel, and the remains of that once
formidable war vessel loom up in
the tropical forest today as a monu
ment to the power of tidal waves.
A Curious Tres.
In the village of Clynnog, Wales,
there is an old cottage, formerly a
country tavern, upon the roof of
which there is a full grown syca
more tree. About fifty years ago a
seedling front a neighboring church
yard, where other sycamores are
growing, found a resting place in
the corner of the wall above a slab
of stone over the entrance to the
building. The young tree thrived
for a time on the small quantity of
soil collected in the corner of the
walls and finally forced its roots
downward through the walls into
the earth below. From the outside
no trace of the roots can he seen.

Seizing an Opportunity.
An English firm was prosecuted
for, swindling. In acquitting them
the chief justice said with severity,
“The evidence is not sufficient to
convict, but if one wishes to know
my opinion of your methods I hope
they will come to me.” Two days
afterward the firm’s advertisement
appeared in all the London papers
with the following well displayed:
“Reference, by special permission,
the lord chief justice of England.”
—Christian Register.
What He Would Do.
A young lady visiting her rela
tions on a farm went out in the
yard to watch her young cousin play
with a chicken. Watching him for
\ome time she asked him, “Willie,
f that chicken were to lay an egg
what would yon do with it ?” He
looked up surprised, then said, “Oh,
I’d sell it to a museum. That
chicken’s a rooster,.”—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Metallic.
“He has a heart of gold, a grip
of iron and a will of steel.”
“Humph! He must be a man of
mettle.”—T.ondon Telegraph.
