HOLD FAST 11ELO H". A party of Irlshmon, onco upon a lime contracted to clear a very deep well. Having none of the usual conveniences employed for such purposes, they woro at a loss to get ono of the party on a little ledge near the bottom to assist In getting out water, mud, dre. At last Jimmy I'helan, a herculean fellow, proponed plan which was considered just the thing.

It was this: Jimmy was to clasp his fists around the windlass then another of the party was to elamlver down and hold on his legs, and so on until the lust man should no rble to leap upon the ledge.

Being slightly corned with Hqnor.the party prepared for the descent, without stopping to contemplate the difficulties involved in the adventure.

With Imred breast, and sleeves tucknl up, big Jimmy sei/.ed the round jortion of the windlass directly over the well and swunglilmselfover. Another of the party crept down Jimmy's I tody and grasped him by the boots. After several more had followed suit, and the human chain bejran to stretch flu into-the well, JinmW became allre to ono groat difficulty the windlass did not afTHrd him a good hold in the first place, and the weight was getting intolerable.

At last human slnewcould stand it no longer, and Jimmy hailed the lower link in the chain with:— "lk»Jabere, Pat, howld taat below till I sphlt on mv hands."

Suiting tho action to the words, he re«« leased his hold, when, or course, the party was precipitated to the Ixdtom of the well. As luck would have It, there was more mul than- water where the Hibernians lit, and they wisely considered thcmselret* particularly fortunate in escaping without aciu»i loaa ofeither life or limb.

THE OLD MNFIDENCE IX S U1 'EIW TIT 1

ON.

That prosaic nnd coldly rational temper with which modern men aro wont to regard natural phenomena was in oarly times unknown. Wo have come to regard all events as taking place regularly, in strict conformity to law whatever our official theories may bo,we instinctively take this view of things Hut our primitive ancestors knew nothing about laws of nature, nothing about physical forces, nothing about tno necessary regularity of things. There was ft time in the history of mankind when these tilings had never been inquired into, and when no generalizations about them had been framed, tested, or established. There was no conception of an order of nature, and therefore no disstinct conception of a supernatural ordor of things. There was no belief in miracles as infractions of natural laws, but there was belief in tho occurrence of wonderful events, too mighty to havo been brought about by ordinary mean?. Thero was an unlimited capacity for believing and fancying, because fancy and belief had not yet been checked and headed off in various directions by established rules of oxperienco.

Physical science is a very late acquisition of tho human mind, but wo are nlrnady sufficiently imbued with it to to be almost completely disabled from comprehending tho thoughts of our ancestors, "llow Finn co-mogonists could have believed tho earth and heaven to be made oat of severed egg, the upper concave shell representing heaven, tho yolk being earth, and tho crystal surrounding fluid the circumambient ocean, is to lis incomprehensible yet it remains a fact that they did so regard them. How the Scandinavians could havo supposed the mountains to be tho moldcrlng bones of a mighty Jot un, and the earth to be his fostering flesh, we can not conceive yet such a theory was solemnly taught and accented, llow the ancient Indians could regard the rain clouds as cows, witli full udders milkoil by the winds of heaven, is beyond our comprehensions and yet heir"Veda contains indisputable testimony to tho flict that they were so regarded.

Wo have only to road Mr. Haring(iould's book of "Curious Myths," from which we have Just quoted, or dip into Mr. Thorp's great truatiao on "Northern Mythology," to roallaehow vast is the difference letwoon our standpoint and that from which, in tho later Middle Ages, our immodiate forefathers regarded things. Tho frightful superstition orwero-wolves Is a good Instance. In those days it was flrmlv believed that men could be, and were fn the habit of being, transformed into wolves. It was believed that women might bring forth snakes or jwiodle dogs. It was believed that if a man had hisslde pierced in battle, you could euro him by nursing the sword which inflicted tho wound. "As lato as IflOO, a Uorman writer would illustrato a thunder storm destroying a crop of corn by a picture of a dragon devouring tho product of the field with his flaming tongue and iron teeth."—John I^kc, in Atlantic Monthly for February,

PLAIN TALK TO QIRLS. Your everyday toilette la a part your character. A girl who loo a "Airy" or a "aloven" In the morning is not to be trusted, however finely she may look inthe evening. No matter how humble your room may be, there are eight things it should contain, viz: a mirror, waahstand, soap, towel, cornb, hair, nail and tooth brushes. Those are just as essential as your breakfast, before which you should make good use of them. Parents who fail to provide their children with such appliances not only make a great mistake, but commit a sin of omission. Look tidy in the morning, and after dinner work is over Improve your toilettes. Make it a rule of your daily life to "dress up" forthe afternoon. Your dress may or need not be, anything better than calico but with a ribbon, or llowers, or some bit of ornament, you can havo an air of self-respect and satisfaction that invariably comes with being well dressed. A girl with fino sensibilities cannot help feeling embarrassed and awkward in a ragged, dirty dress, with her hair unkempt, if a stranger or neighbor comes. More over, your self-respect should make it a point to look as well as you can even if you know nobody will see you but yourself.

Good-By.—It is a hard word to speak. Some may laugh that it should be, but let tliem. Icy hearts are never kind. It is a word that has choked many anj utterance, and started many a tear. The hands are clasped, the word is spoken, wo part and are out on the ocean of time—we go to meet again— wliero? God only knows. It may be soon, it may bo never! Take caro that our good-by be not a cold one—it may

L°

the last one you can give. Ere you meet again, Death's cold hand may have closed nis eyes and chilled his lips forever. Ah! ho may have died thinking pou loved him not. Again, it may be a ong separation. Friends crowd on and give you their hands. How do you detect in each good-by tho love that lingers there and how may you boar with the memory of these parting words many days? Wo must often separate. Tear not yourself away with ft careless boldness that defies ail love, but make your words linger—give your heart full utterance—and if tears fall, what of it? Tears are not unmanly.

Whkn Andrew Jackson left his homo in North Carolina for Tennessee, his mother gave him this advice, as relat ed by himself to Mr. W. H. Sparks, of Georgia: "Andy," said she, (sho al wayfj called mo Andy), "you arc going to anew country, and among a rough people you will have to depend on yourself, and cut your own way through tho world I havo nothing to give you but a mother's advice. Never tell lio, nor take what is not your own, nor suo anybody for slander or assault and battery always settle them cases your self!' I promised, and I havo tried to koep that promise. I rodo off some two hundred yards to a turn in tho path and looked back. Sho was still standing at the fenco and wiping her oyes. I nover saw her after that."
