The tow ei ' 107X, when the C< inqueror, in order to have control of the city. 5 ■ removed |sirt of the nhl city wall ! and hegan the fortress. There are many towers nltoi gether. the most prominent being ( : the theatre tower, which for years 1 Iteen used as a store for aims ( ami public records Then the Wakefield Tower, where the re- ( I galia and crown jewels are kept; ( and the Beauchamp Tower where . there is a large collection of deep- ( , Iv interesting and pathetic records'. . of prisoners, so many carvings. - In the stone walls done by their own finger.-. The two noted gales are the ' I : Bloody Tower Gntc, and the Trait' Gate. These speak for them- , . selves. Oh how many of the no- | . . lii'ity were executed by beheading .'in those times, and oh what scenes | . I of anguish and. despair in those , days when "Might was right" t ' I stood in those cells where l : many helpless souls had ' lieen imprisoned, and luter. I gazI c.l at the execution block, and.hur ge axe showing the awful stains | of the life blood of its victims and i . heart grew heavy with woe. My thoughts reverted particu- ■ -jlurly to the young and bcautifuL ;, jlady Jane Grey, who entered the. 'tower us a queen. July 9th, 15»3, ; a and later on she saw from her gra- j t i ted window, she saw the hcaiUcss ; body of her husband brought back • il ! from Tower Hill, and a few mom- j ,1 j cuts after she laid her own fair ■ a head upon the block at Tower a ; Green. ii i could fill my letter with these il grewsome accounts, but I will has"ten on. and tell you what a feast n j to the eyes are the Crown Jewels,

'kept in Wakefield Tower. " » In the centre, surrounded by-u i glass case" many feet high, and /wide, with. other cases around the 1 i circular room, were the crowns of ' kings and queens' besides 1 • some .1000 precious stones; various ; sceptres aijfl swords; the mound of 1 gold; also the eagle and spoon. ' used to annoint the soverign ; a 1 salt ceHar in the form of the . ' White Tower; the gold font for!' royal bnptisims, and the wonder- ' ' ful mace of the scrgeant-ata-rms ' • Also 1 saw the magnificent and 1 j famous Cullian diamond, anil ' others forming a gorgeous ' ! and stupendious collection. 1 | " I certainly did enjoy watching the soldiers drill on the parade ' grounds. I have been there thir- ' teen times, and always found ero-i' ; wds of people watching the sold- ' ' icrs in their bright uniforms. ' 1 One of the officers however yel- ! 1 , I led his orders so loud, that I asked 1 the guide if he had been yelling.' that way long, for I really feared v 'he would split his throat; and he •" replied, "oh yes madam for manyj a day the bally fool has been at ' ' it, and we call him the bellowing 1 bull." I1 We had a good laugh over that i •' and I thought and said, "certainly ' ' all fools arc not dead yet." As!' this officer passed, lie had a vol y ' | angry look' on hjs face, and I guess : i lie wasn't getting very much comfort out of his bellowing. Haven't you readers heard prea- 1 ' j chers, preach in awful loud voices, as if they thought the lord' and : ' also their congregations were'1 | deaf; and hasn't it antagonized when you knew that by the ' proper using of the rising and fal-i-ilng inflection of the easy normal : conversational voice, he could get double the effect 1 I always a<l- : mired Rev. Russell Conwcll par- ■ ' tirularly in not only knowing how use his voice, but in doing it. While in the tower, I visited the; horse armory. Oh how I did like j | that, such wonderful armor and ; trappings. One was partiiularly . marvelous, a Milanese bard, rich- j Iv embossed with Burgumliun lia- * dges, a cross ragule and the flint 1 and steel. The borders were also ; ^ engraved with pomegranates and . i other designs. It was n present to Henry the ' VIII from the Emperor Maxmillian. There were many figures of ' men in armor, and I rememlwi | " thinking it should have been called man and horse armory. e After leaving the tower, I took: I a bus ride, and at a crossing see- j ing a man on a box talking to a . ; big crowd of people, I hustled do- ! s wn the steps and joined the many ,1 ! who were listening to him. I found him to 1* just what I, /expected, a Socialist. My what ,1 strange views he did have. But p being possessed of a splendid pre- ; ,, sence, and a very" "ue"1 1_' i could sec he was impressing LS many of his hearers, k Altogether I heard four Social- ,- 1 ists speak on street crossings and ir I wondered why it was allowed, ■r There is already, through lack of | employment thousands standing •c ready to embrace Scoialism. In- ! deed the spirit of dissatisfaction #t and hopelessness is rampant in H, many hearts, through the lack of

employment which means the link, I Well that day, I again visited . the "Old Curiosity Shop" made faf'mous by Dickens, whose books ; saw the "Horse Guards." (the r mounted troopers of the house- j . hold cavalry ), who sit motionless ! ,'on cither side of the big gateway, /in hrilliaht red uniforms, with . white cups and plumes. /Truly they are said to lie the most; ; -tgied at men in EnglamL That I ilight. after a strenuous day. I was . thinking around midnight, when I, noticed the rain and wind had; , stopped, so I raised the shade and , throwing wide the window. I to- . uiul myself looking up into God's . | Heaven, transcendinglv lieautifol, .'with sta.s everywhere shining like jiliamonds. A few fleer;, milk . j white clouds floated by, and sudijdcnly the moon appeared in great /lieauty. antl brightness, and rotiei | i with regal might through the, . skies. And n." I locked in the stillness , /of the night, nil the whys and . | wherefores, anr endless quMthms.. | slipped -avray and I thought "Gtnl' j knows liest. why puzzle and fret, /over seeming contradictions in life /wc followers must jutf do our best and leave the rest to Him." then suddenly like a vail descending, a , peace fell like a benediction on my . heart anil I was at rest.
