THE VALUE OF A SIGNATURE.

says pertinently : - 7

a lady of great wealth the other

put my -name to a document
which placed my money and my

changer for a dozen years. Had
1 only told , him that I would

safely left her to leant by expe

it means her gentle acquiescence
in a man's 'k Sign here," with
a consequent adoption of other

There is a ilttle poem afloat
in the world, out1. line. of which
refers to "maldiig a-sunshine in
a shadow place."
The shadiest spot, the sourest
visage, the gloomiest temper
cannot hold its. oavh f'or long
against the. light of a, cheerful
countenance, the magnetism -of
a merry heart. If it could,
there would be small hope for
humanity. .
The people who, Avith tongue j
or pen, or daily living, preach
cheerfulness as a religious dut'
are the beneficent saviors of the
race. And tin1 best thing about
the blessjd possession is that,
like the Avidow's' cruse, it in

though" the body be clad in the
raiment of humblest poverty.

It was; not the cities Ave de
sired to visit rnojit but the coim-
tiy so avo soon set our faces for
the South and the main road to
London. At first it is a fairly
good road, some parts being
very loose when dry, and greasy
and soft "when wet. Tarnorlev
is TO. miles from Chester. It
is a great Fox hunting centre.
Of all English scenes a meet of
the Fox hounds is one of the
most picturesque. The splen
did hunters, the redcoats of the
farmers and gentry, majvy la
dies being present, the baying
of the hounds when the fox is
found wake a scene that stirs
the hearts of those of sporting
tastes. "We confess however to
ha'e felt a triile nervous Avhen
Ave had once or tAvice to .ride
through these packs of hounds
Avhen met going to or from a
hunt. It is a good undulating
country as far as NantAvich,
Avhich is in the salt district and
a toAvn of narroAV old fashioned
streets. The sun was setting as
Ave reached a village named
Woove and Ave thought to put
up at a large hotel there. It
Avas one of those places which
must have been a famous hos
telry in coaching days but hoaa
looked like a derelict ship out
of place in such a small illage.
The ambitious ones of our party
decided to push on and all agree
ing Ave avo re fortunate in doing
so. - A country man told us to
hurry ut) or .we avouUI be too
rf 1,is ratliie mystify-
nis uoros iiau some
meaning lor iar oti Ave could see
a great blaze and it .was not long
! before we.Avere in the midst of a
j country frolic. It was Avhat
the. national beverage beer
floAved like water and Ave reckon
there were a feAV "dead men
next day. Every bed in the
village public house was doubly
remember nothing particular
; bout it but the excellent and
,cool ale AA'e got at an inn just
i outside. The favorite beverage
;Avith cyclists is called a Mshan
j dy gafi" a methere of ale and
i lemonade Avhich is very cooling.
;The weather .Avas very hot for
an English summer and as avc
irode in lijzlit clothing the sun
soon began to make us look like
boiled lobsters. Between Staf-
ford and Litchfield the road
passes through what is called a
forest, now a forest no longer,
but a wide open heath. There
are many places like it where
the old forest used to be. Litch
field was a place for a good rest
at one of its good inns. In a
'town like it evervthimr centres
about the church. The Cathe-j
dral is tin
cathedral
cniet place. 1 Jiose
towns are often asi
"T . rni
-I uh-t as a northern oolony when
the boomisoner. As usual the
cathedral like ntost Knjrlish'
.' churches has the big central
i tower with spire and tAvo -towers
; with spires at the main .en
; trance. We cannot imagine
anyone, even the most frivolous
entering such a buildi jig without
j a deep feeling of l-evrence and
i -wonder at the the patient4 work
j which must have betjn carried
ion there from vear to 'vear
; from -age to age to create such
buildings, such beautifirl win
doAvs and line carvings. The
whole front is covered AVith
niches and statutesj most of
them worn and Aveathered by
rain,-Avind and stm. It is an
j inspiring thought to . think Iioav
ma-ivy years the Avorship W God
has been carried on there. The
singing of the choir Avas beauti
ful. It Avas market day -in tOAvn
so there Avere considerable
croAA'ds from the country. There
is a statute to Dr. Johnson in
the market place whose birth
place this was. The George
Inn is a good place for cyclists
to stop at. It is listed by the
Cyclists Touring Club an organ-
ization similar to the. League of
American Wheelmen.
; After leaving Litchfield the cy
clist enters the prettiest and most
rural part of England. A little
further Ave st are certainly the
manufacturing towns, of "The
Black Country" but if one
keeps going south and avoiding
the larger tOAvns, it is country
pure and simple. Through a
number of large : and small vil-
lages Ave pursued our way, the
road being good and the coun-
tr' around
very pretty, r or ,
. -
about ten miles before one en-;
ters Coventry the road is lined
on both sidps with large forest
trees Avhicl make a beautiful
shade and form quite an avenue.
It is common for trees to be lelt
to groAA', often at regular inter-va-ls
in the hedgeroAvs beside
tlie road, so that one is not al
Avays exposed to the full blaze
of the sun. Inbeed aAvonderful
ainount of care and good taste
has' been spent on making the
English gentlemen's parks so
picturesque. We saAv one
Avhich Ave suppose must '"'have
500 acres all in grass dotted here
and there Avith pine, peech and
and oak trees Avith a long Avind
ing driA'OAvay up to the Castle or
Hall. In Cheshire and Staf
fordshire almost every good
country house .is called a hall.
At Coventry Ave finished "our
second dys ride of A miles.
Coventry is a large 'town, once
celebrated for silk manufacture
(but now-given up to bicycle in
dustry. Iiere all the most noted
cycle firms have their Avorks.
We found it a very dear town
to! stop in, hotel charges being
too high. Bevond Coventry the
roads are splendid and well
shaded. After passing Dttn
cliurch the road is good but
hill'.' Daventiy is a town on
top of a hill, which is a very
common thing with the older
towns. It is for that reason
that the cyclist looks out for the
church towers or spires to guide
him, as the churches and prob
ably the remains of some old
castle are generally on top of a j
In on the tnn-n eliKten; :iritltl(
hill and the town clusters around
on the 'sides. At the George!
Inn at -Daventry cyclists receive
every attention. At Wee don
there are large barracks for
British troops and there the or
der strikes into YVatling Street,
one of the old Tioman Roads,
which must have been used by
unnumbered generations. The
Romans when they made their
roals, made ineni io )ass o ei
mountain and piain uireci, so
that one 'may often see the 1
road going straight over the top
of the hill and a later made road
going round the hill. How
the drove the coaches down
some of the hilLs the writer can -
not conceive for tney are so
steep. After passing Towcester
once the site of a Roman camp,
! the road is then very undulating
v- .
;and rather rough, through a
tliickly wtxmed country. At
HocklilTe and from there on,
one passes through the deep
chalk cuttings up a gentle slope
to tin Chiltern. JHlls from
whence there are grand views
all around the country.
Dunstable is the place, where
they give a Hitch of bacon an-
...... 11 .. i ,. 1 t -

I prove that thev have not had
one cross word between then,

After leaving that ''place we
began to look otit for the tower
of St: Alban's Minister which
is as usual, placed on .top of a
hill, and at last -saw it rising
above the trees and Ave rode in
to the ancient town of St. A-l-ban's.
This is one of the old
est towns in the country having
been founded in the Roman
period. Outside the toAvn are
the' remains of a small Roman
amnhitheatre and there nro

plenty of antijuities for the
curious, St. AH)an's is said to
have been the first British mar
tyr, hence tho church built in
his honor. The Abbe or Min
ister is a long massive building,
said to have the longest nave
of 0113-church in England. It
has not half the carving-' that
Lechfield Cathedral has jind
we suppose is of earlier date.
Tho great philosopher Lord Ba
con is buried in another church
in the town and the present
Lord Verulam's estate is not
far off. St. Alban's i a tOAvn
of same character as Lechfield,
thought not so arge. A 'quiet
cathedral country town. ' A
four-in-hand goes from there
to London and back CAcry lay.
At a Temperance Hotel kept
by two pleasant ladies we se
cured good quarters. From
there the cyclist can ride to Hat
field and see Hatfield House
and grounds belonging to Earl
of Salisbury. This is the place
where Queen Elizabeth -was
practically kept a prisoner and
various sovereigns have been
entertained by the Cecils, in-

A Boy'w Prayrr.;
The Boston Transcript tells a
story of a little boy. on ji
visit . He had not been taught
to say his prayers, and when
he saw the '-'little boys of the
house say theirs he had a sense
of not being "in it" at all," and
went to bed melancholy. The
second night came 'and he
heard the children once more
go through what was to him
their remarkable rigmarole,
ending in "Amen :" and when
they -.were done he said:
"Auntie, I want- to sav mv
prayer too." "Very Avell, go
on, she ; answered. The boy
went doAvn prettily on his
knees, and rattled off :. "First
in Avar, first in peace, and first
in the 'hearts of his country -MEN
!" Then he rose, proud
ly conscious of having done the
right thing. ?

Much uncertainty exists as to
why the -orange - blossom has
been so much worn by brides,

ajv,e blossom was regarded as
j a .symbol of a prosperous mar-
riage, a circumstance which is
parlv to be accounted for by
. ie fact tjiat n tl,e East, the
jorange tree bears rije fruit and
j blossoms at the same time. New
