Simon Pure The origin of tbis
well known term is given as follows:
"A very popular old play contained
two characters, named Simon, ono of
which insisted on culling himself the
bimon Pure t. e.. the real Simon,
in contradisiinotion to his rival.
Uonco s genuine article is said to be
''Simon Puroj" in contradistinction
from one not gensine.
The Cap of Liberty originated as
follows: After tbo death of Camr,
the Roman Emperor, conspirators
who bad secured bis. doath marched
out with a cap as an ensign of liberty
carried before them on a spear the
cap without a head indicating that the
tyrant had lost his power. From that
fact, and for this reason, it "has ever
since boon recieved as an emblem of
liberty."
T ub First Known Sale or Land, of
which wo havo any record, is thus re
corded in tbo Biblo: " Ephron, the
eon of Zohar, made euro nnto Abra
ham, for a possession, hia field which
was in Macbpelah, which was before
Mamro, the field and cave which was
therein, and all the trees that were in
the field, that were in all the borders
round about." Our young readers
may find it a useful exoroiso to hunt
up the book, chapter and vorse where
it occurs.
A beautiful girl stepped into a ebpp
to buy a pair of mitts.
"How much are they.
"Why," said the gallant but impu.
dent clork, lo6t in gaeing upon her
sparkling eyes and ruby lips, "You
shall have them for a kiss."
"Agreed,1 said tho young lady,
pocketing the mitts, while her eyes
epoke daggers, "and as I see yor give
credit hore charge it on your books
and collectjt tbo best way you can."
So saying she hastily tripped out.
