It doesn't seem, indeed, .a .great many • years since Billy Smith cane ,to ,seheol ane day with„a remarkable limp, which soon became theenvy of all the rest of the'boys, says a writer in the Boston Record. They knew that Billy hadn't hurt •himself in any. Vey; and how be could invent so complete, so regular,, so picturesque, and in. every way so admir- able a Iimp, was past their comprehen- sion. Several boys tried bard to imitate but in vain.. ,. Finally Tenriny Patterson, whose fa. ther was pretty well off, and used to gbeashiw two apples every morning be- fore he went to school, took Billy to one side and said to hint : " Say, Bill, I'll, give you•:my two ajar, {. tale cores, if you'll learn me your limp," Billy was fully aware: of the commer- cial value of his limp, but the apple cores were a great. inducement. So he confided the secret to,Tommy. "Got my• handkerchief tied 'round nay 1eg, under an' over my knee," said Billy. • Before long Tonrmy" disappeared be- hind the big wood -pile, and Came out with the some kind of limp that Billy hada to .the great wonderment of the -rest- of the boys. And presently Tommy had Confided the secret tb another boy for a piece. of alum, and the other boy had sold it for something 'else; the value of the consideration diminishing with each. sale, in a way to &flight the heart of a political economist, until every boy in f the school who had a pocket -handkerchief 1 was limping like a nainied veteran of a :hundred battles,, ' ° Then the teacher arrived, pulling, out hisentered- red• rho yard. It as he e e watch . was of the ancient: boll's -eye verist y, almost-- lohularsir shape nos tiquite globular, .but -aa .near ha.t it -.used to remind the writer of the description; of the earth in the geography, :as ;`round like a ball, but slightly flattened at 'the _ poles.' Well; as soon as atlre teacher practising roomfor the choristers, or lead glanced at his watch 'be went right enter the dark and gloomy'but'intexest-- ing crypt on the, other. There is nothing more picturesque about the :cathedral. than these decaying cLoisters—whish yet probably will. not be' allowed to crumble away to destruction.. But once restored .they will loose, of necessity, their greatest charm. The central and only timer of the cathedral contains a, peal of eight bells; one. of which rings the curfew every • night ,ata quarter to nine.' Not that the inhabitants then re- tire to rest, for..the't3treeta at night are filled with loiterers • and idlers; young men and boys lounging •about the rows and corners, andlo&king, as if they were possessed 1-y the very spirit of mischief. The oldest bell bears the date 1604, w:d the •inscription;- "2 sweetly tolling, men do can, "' 'To test's the meat that feeds thavdrv'" On Sunday morning there was•Serrvice. in-the-cheir,-and-at-eight in the nav:o.- `Cr a free cathedral. *+,1iia;;tory of Chesterje her cathedral,. 43,.s n h small in comparison with many, is vary interesting and fill of beauty. 1'he present diocese was founded by .Henry VIII,, muddle Benedictine Abbey of St. "K'.erbu'rgh was chosen as a sue- cessu. to -that of St. John's, Since then. it has undergone many changes, and now shows a mixed style of architecture ; the Norman,. Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular. Its least pleasing feature isthe difference in size between the north and south transepts. The latter, , until recently, was partitioned off firom the Test of the building as a parish church to St: Oswald's, and here a separate tier - Ace was held, The partition has been removed, and the transept has been thrown into the cathedral, but it has still to be restored. In size it is out of all proportion with the rest of the build- ing, and is as large as the north transept is small. They differ widely in archi• teotnre, the north transept being partly' Norman, partly Early English, the south Late Decorated. But the cathedral.has` been wonderfully well restored • by, the, late Sir Gilbert Scott. The choir is beautiful, the carved woodwork of the stalls and tbe'screen- •almost matchless. The light tracery in noway • conceals or ,obscures the outer Wave or aisles. The organ is placed outside the choir in the north transept, but the small organ fit above the choir screen. It is one of the largest cathedral organs in the kingdo ane of the handsomest, and oertainlj, one, of the most beautiful in tone, Itis supported by sixteen columns of Italian marble, pillars worthy of their destine. tion. Through a door in the north transept you pass to the Chapter House and Library on the right, the cloisters on the left. The greater portion of the cloisters has not been restored, and they are in that state of pioture'sque decay: which the hand of time lays •upon all ancient buildings. They are almost, blank, crumblingin' parts well nigh, to the ghosts o f'dead and • eo lardwith t ruin ,. peopled gone Benedictines. These cloisters oarry- you backinapirit and imagination to the.. days of the _Roman Qatholics and,St. Werbnrgh more than any other part of the cathedral. It is delightful to wan- der about them, and pass intcs the old refectory on the one side, now used as• a into the schoolhouse, and rang the bell vigocohsly. And then all those boys, trooped intp the school -room' in. solemn. procession; piny smith 'at the head, and.; all limping exactly like ,Booth,Made up as . Richard III, It was one of the most grotesque spectacles that any school master ever looked upon, but this :one _remained as ,solemn as an. owl while the boys marched in. • But when they had got to their`°'seats, he celled them. all back .to his desk and said, angrily :: 1llarclt back to your seats: now, yptt• boys, and walk as you should. ,"• Wecan't—we'relame !'
