430 APPENDIX 



How vain it is to sit down to write when you liave not stood up to live. 



Silence is of various depths and fertility, like soil. 



Praise should be spokeu as naturally and simply as a flower emits its 

 fragrance. 



All fear of the woi'ld or consequences is swallowed up in a manly 

 anxiety to do Truth justice. 



We are all pilots of the most intricate Bahama channels. Beauty may 

 be the sky overhead, but Duty is the water underneath. 



The man of principle never gets a holiday. Our true character silently 

 underlies all our words and actions, as the granite underlies the other 

 strata. 



Paul Reveee 



The Paul Eevere Memorial Association has been formed in Boston, 

 with purpose to purchase and preserve the old home of Paul Revere. 

 This is believed to be the oldest building now in Boston. It was erected 

 between 1679 and 1681. A fund of $30,000 will be raised, and the build- 

 ing will be devoted to educational and historical usefulness. 



Paul Eevere engraved the plates, made the press, and printed the first 

 promissory notes of the State of Massachusetts Bay, when the exigen- 

 cies of the struggle for independence made paper currency necessary. 

 He had a shop on what is now Cornhill, and this was the ample sign over 

 the door : 



Paul Revere and Son, at their bell and cannon Foundry in the North 

 part of Boston, Cast Bells of all sizes ; every kind of brass Ordinance, and 

 every kind of composition work for ships, etc., at the briefest notice. 

 Manufacture copper into Sheets, Bolts, Nails, Spikes, rivets, etc., from 

 Maloable Copper. 



They always keep by them every kind of copper Sheathing for ships. 

 They now have on hand a number of Church and Ship Bells of different 

 sizes, a large quantitj' of Sheathing Copper from 16 up to 30 oz. ; Bolts, 

 Spikes, Nails, etc., of all sizes, which they warrant to be equal to English 

 manufacture. 



Cash and the highest price given for old Copper and Brass. 



A Feench E^fGI^rEER 

 It is interesting to remember that America owes the noble plan of the 

 national capital to a French engineer. Major Charles Pierre L'Enfant, in 

 whose honour it is proposed to erect a suitable memorial in one of the 

 parks which he laid out. 



The Society of Soul Winnebs 

 Rev. Edward 0. Guerraut, D. D., a descendant of the Virginia Hugue- 

 nots, originated a most interesting work among the mountain people of 

 Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. The religious destitution ap- 

 pealed to him, and in 1897 he started the America Inland Mission, with one 

 missionary and faith for capital. The work grew, support came from un- 

 expected sources, until the receipts for 1902 were above $7,000, and seventy 

 faithful men and women were employed in the most destitute places,
