An Intersilt)g'I.egent of How It Came to be Invented. "In Ihe nmtdle of the sixtceMh erutury there lived In the 8a.ou Frscl erg a noble lady. Bar bara Cttmaii, the wife of a rich mine-owner of thedls'rlct. By birth she belonged to the dls tingulshed Eterleln family of Nuremberg. The heart of th g. od woman was devoted to th inters sis of the poor of this rough, barren, mountain region, whole hey her husband's property, who were reduced at tMs time to great straits by thcdecline of the mining busi ness, w hich had furnished their chief scpporl. The culture of the sterile soil whs wasted, and utter hopeless poverty was creeping over the once thriving community. In this sute of things th kind sou1 of Barbara was Incessant !y revolving plsos for Ihe relief of these Wretched poojde.

" THE HOYI.Ksrt TOWN. A erriM old woman of long ago, Iseclured that she hnted noise; 'The town would be so pleasant, yrni know, If only there were no boys." Hhe ss-olded and fretted about It till Her eyes grew heavy ns lead, And then, of a sudden, the town grew still, For all the boys had fled. And all througo the long anil dusty street There wasn't a boy In view, The base ball where they used to meet Was a sight to make one blue. The gnisa was growing on every base, And the paths that the runners made; For there wasn't a soul In all the place Who knew how the Kaiiie was played. The dogs were sleeping the live-long duy. Why should they bark or leap? There wasn't a whistle or call to play, And so they could only sleep. The pony neighed from Ilia lonely stall, And longed for saddle and rein; And even the birds on the garden wall Chirped only a dull refrain. The cherries rotl'-d and went to waste There was no one to climb tin- trees-; And nobody Imd a single taste, Save only the birds and bees. There wasn't a messenger boy not one To sjiee'l as -uch messengers can; If people wanted their errands done, They sent for a meMigor inun. There w as little, I ween, of frolic and noise, There was le-s of cheer and mirth; The sad old low n, since It lacked the boys Was the ilrcarlost place on earth. The poor old woman begun to weep.
