Borne Trae Stories Abort A orkat many years act» hurricane occurred la Utica, New Ycrk-V Just mi it be^sui it was noticed tiat a hearr swing sign in front of a store wm held out in a horizofaial pocislsa lor some time.

Before long the force at the wind increased to such a degree'that several houses on Genesee Street Hill were unroofed, and the spire of the Second Presbyterian Church was thrown to the ground.

After the storm was over it was discovered that the rod holding the weather* vane on the top ol the ulu steeple of the First Presbyterian Church was bent so that it became nearly horizontal. It was unsightly but how to repair the injury was'the question. It would be no easr task, as there was a large ball glow 5 on

or globe on the jt»d below the vane. Al ter awhile a sailor offered his services. He ascended the steeple Mid climbed the rod until he came just beneath the globe. Then he threw the rope out a good many times, until, after a while, the end looped around the rod above the globe long enough to reach him. Twisting the rope together, he let go of the iron rod, and trusting himself to the rope, swung out free. By climbing it he now managed to get on the top of the globe. Standing there he succeeded in straightening the rod that held the weather-vane.

Now how was he to get down? Again trusting to the rope that was fastened to the rod above the globe, he swung free at a great height from the earth then lowering himself, and swinging back* and forth, he managed to grasp the rod beneath the globe, and soon reaching the spire, descended.

The steeple of Salisbury Cathedral is the highest in Engl&nd, and next to that of Strasbourg Cathedral, the highest in Europe. Every year a man climbs to the top to grease the weather-vane. Thb is done oy ascending the inside as far as possible, and then going out of a man-hole and climbing the rest of the way by means of the brass staples fastened on the outer wall.

Once on a festal occasion, when the King was present, a reward was offered, as usual, to any person who would ascend ana attend to the weather-vane. A sailor agreed to do it, and ascended in the way I have told you, until he came to tbe copestone, when, to show whiat ho could do, he stood on his head. Then performing the'task he was sent to do, that of greasing the weather-vane, he descended and claimed l)is reward. But the King was so exasperated at the sailor for needlessly frightening the people by standing on his head at such a great height, that he would not allow him to be paid.

A long time ago, in the town of Northam, England, the steeple of the church was found to be unsteady. It swayed back and forth whenever the great bell struck, and continued to sway thus, until, as it leaned ovffir on one side, it opened large cracks on the opiwsito.

It was not long before the boys of the town found this out, and the bright ide entered the head of one of them, and was by him -old to the others, that it would be a capital placo to crack nut-. So, boy-like, they had to try it, and standing at the ba-e of the spire, would fill the cracks as far as they could reach with good English walnuts, and thaistand back for the steeple to return to an upright position, bracking the nuts. As the great clock in the towef struek, the jar caused the M«*e to lean in tbe opposite direction. The boys now got their nuts, and then put in more, thai the operation might bo repeated, for they considered it rare sport. I

But in the course of time the people of the town who had such matters in charge decidod that the "steeple was unsafe, and. strengthened it with bands of iron but this not proving satisfactory, after a while each stone wan numbered, and th* steeple taken down and rebuilt, in the old style. And from that day to this, to the regret of the boys, it has never been known to crack nuts.

During a great Are In New York, a few years ago, one of tbe buildings destroyed was a church having a very tall steeple. The flames ran up inside this steeple, and. bursting out at the top. melted the rino and copper about the lightning-rod, so that they fell in showers of green, gold, and crimson fire, producing a «p«ctac!e of most wondrous beauty.— (J irjter't Yottmj Pco^c.
