How the Weathercock Was Oiled.

'I'm game to do it,'says Billy Johnaon. 'any time you like.' 'Not you,'says Joey IUnce. 'It ain't in you.' 'Ain't it?'says Billy.

And as be spoke lie took a pull at Ms strap, and Parson says 'My good man, I couldn't think of allowing it.'

You see, this is bow it was. We'd got a weathercock atop of our church spire at High Beoohy and it was a cock in real earnest, just like the great Dorking in Farmer Granger's yard only tlie one on thespiro was gilt, and shoue in the sun quite beautiful.

There was another diflerenco, though. Parmer Granger's Dorking used to crow in the morn, and sometimes on a moonlight night but tlie gilt one a-top of the steeple, after going on swinging round and round, to show quietly which way the wind blew, took it into its head to stick fast in calm woather, while in a rough wind—oh. lor' H' uiercy! the way it would screech and groan was enough to alarm the neighborhood, and alarm tlx. neighborhood it did.

I wouldn't bollevo it was the weatbereock at first, but quite took to old Mother Bonnett's notion that it was eigus of tho times, and a kiud of warning to High Beecby of something* terrible to come to pass.

But there, wLen you stood and 99w it turning slowlj* round in tho broad daylight, and heard it snueal, why, you couldn't help yourself, but were bound to believe.

Just about that time a chap as callod himself Steeple Jack—not the real Steeple Jack, you know, but an impostor sort of fellow, who, wo beard afterwards bad boon going about and getting sovereigns to climb the Spires, and oil the weathercocks, and do a bit of repairs, and then going off without doing anything at all—well, this fellow came to High Beochy, and saw Parson, and offered to go up, clean and scrape the weathercock, oil it and ail, without scaffolding, for a rive pound note.

Parson said it was too much, and consulted churchwarden Hound, who said ditto," and so Steeple Jack did not get the job even when he came down to threo pound and theu to a sovereign for bless you, we wore too sharp for him at HighBeechy, aud suspected that all he wanted was the money, when, you know, we couldn't have made him go ap. it being a risky job.

The weathercock went on equoaking then awfully, till one afternoon, when we were out on tho green with the cricketing tackle for practice, Parson being with us, (or wo wero going to play Ramboro' Town next week, and Parson was eur best bowler.

He was a thorough gentleman, was Parson, aud he used to say be loved a game of cricket as much as qver, and as to making one of our eleven, he used to do that, ho said, bectnse he was then sure that no one would «\vear, or take usott* than was good for him.

Speaking of otir lot, I'm sure it made us *11 respert Pat son tho more and I tell you otto ilililif it did bftridefe it seemed to make him onr friend to go to In all kind of trouble, and what's more, it fetob*Ki alt onr lot in the cricket club to chnrch whon I'm afraid t! It hadn't been out of rt»p*ot to Parj*on we should bare stooped away.

Why Ive known him on a hot evening at pmctlco between tho overs suddenly cty 'Hold fcnrdr with the bail In hi* hands, and say—

Tell yon what, my lads, 1 think a glass of Thompson's hf»»r»e-hrowd wouldn't be amissjnst now. *«»i*h. my man, will you step across and tell them to sead me a gallon?.

Then when tt was brought allcool and foaming out of the rellar, and he took tho first glass as a matter of coome.beM got a knack of saying something sensible to a man in away as be did mora good than the paeachlnglu a month of 8un-

days. nrhi fins when he'd ffriished the cool draught 'That's good, refreshing. Invigorating, and hearty, what a pity it is some men will b« audi fools than to take more than is good tor thorn. Come, my lads, another glass aronnd, and then to work.1

iat!' he'd say, with a soiack of bU

Why, yw m»y laugh xtm% hot we all of ua loved our parson, aid bo could turn tis all this way or that way with bis little linger.

Well, wo were ont ou tho green, aal said, and tho talk turned about oiling the woatber-cock', and about how we'd hoard as Steeple Jack, as he called hi nisei', had undertaken to do Upportborp ste*ple,as is thirty fleet lower than ours, and had got tho money and gone off. 1 thought he was a rogtie, said Billy Johnson. 'He looked nkatt drinking sort of fellow. Ttell yon what I'm game to do It any tinw you like.*

Not you, *%ld Joey Raooe. "It aiotin you.' •Ahnt it' says Billy, tightening hit belt, and then— •My good man.* says Panon, 'I couldn't think of allowing it,'

You see, ours was a splendid spire,

standing altogether a hundred and seventy feet vix iu'jhes high and aa it saya in the old history, was a landmark and a beacon to the countiy for miles aronnd. There was a square tower seventy feet high, and ont of this sprang the spire, tapering up a hundred fset, and certainly one of the linmit bp the countrv. 'Ob, I'd let hlcn g# sir,taays Joey 'he can climb like a squftrel. 'Or a tom-cat,' saya another 'More like a monkey, aaya Sam Rowley, our wicket keeper. 'Nevermind what lean climb like,' says Billy. 'I'mgame to do it so here goes.' •But, if yon do get up,* saya Parson, yon will want tools to take off and oil the weather-cock, and yoa can't carry them.

Jnst then a message came froto the rectory that Parson was wanted, and be went away in a hurry: and no sooner had he gone than there was no end of chaff about Billy, which ended in his pulling up his belt another hole, and saying: 'I'm goi"flf.' 'And what are you going to do when you get up theroT' 'Nothing,' he says, 'but tie the rope up to the top of the spire, and leave it for some of you clever chaps to do.' •What ropes shall you use?' said. •Tho new well rope,' says Billy. 'It's over two hundred feet long.'

Cricketting was set aside for that day, for Joey Itince went off and got the rope, coming back with It colled over his arm, and throwing it down before Billy in a defiant sortof way, as much as to say: 'There, now, let's see you do it.'

Without a word, Blily picked up the coil of rope and went in at the belfry door, to come out soon after on the top of the tower, and then, with one end of the rope made into a loop and thrown over his shoulders, bo went to one edge of the eight sided spire and began to climb up fiom crocket to crocket, which were about a yard apart, and looking like so many ornamental knobs sticking out from the spire.

We gave him a cheer as he began to go up, ana then sat on the grass, wondering like, to see how active and clever the fallow was as he went up yard alter yard, climbing rapidly, and seeming as if he'd soon be at the top.

The whole of tho village turned out in astnto of excitement, and we had bard work to keep two brave fellows from going up to try at other corners of the spire. 'He'll do it—he'll do it!' was the cry over and over again.

And it seemed as if he would, for he went on rapidly till he was in some thirty feet of the top when all of a sud den he seemed to lose his hold, and came rapidly sliding down between two rows of crockets faster and faster, until he disappeared behind the parapet of the tower.

We held our breath, one and all, as we saw him fall, and a cold chill of horror came upon us. It was not until he bad reached the top of the tower that we roused ourselves to run to the belfry door, and began to go up the spiral staircase to got to tbo poor fellow, whom we expected to find half dead. •Hallo!'cried Billy's voice, as we got half way vip the corkscrew. 'I'm coming down.' 'Ain't you hurt, then/ cried Joey Banco.

No, net much,'said Billy, as we reached him hv one the loopholes in the stone wall. 'Got some skin of and a bit bruised.' 'Why, we thought you were half killed,' wo said. •Not I, he replied gruffly the rope caught over one of the crockets, and that broke my fall a bit. 'Going to try again, said Joey with a sneer. •No ain't going to try again, neither,' said Bill, grufil^r. I left the rope up at the top there, thinking you were so clever you'd like to go.' •Oh, I could do It if I liked,' said Joey. 'Only you daren't' said Bill, rubbing elbows, ynd putting his lips to his bleed-

JMy.

And without another word be pushed by Billy, and went on steadily up towards the top of tbo tower. 'I hope he'll like it,'said Billy, chuckling. 'Itain't so easy ashethlnks. Let's go down. I'm a good bit shook, and wantadiop ofbrai-.ay.'

Poor fellow, bo looked rather white when we got down and to our surprise on .ooklng up, on hearing a cheer, there was Joey hard at work with tho rope rope over his" shoulder, climbing away, the lads cheering him again and again as he climbed higher and higher, till he at last rcached the greRt copper suppoi of the weathemck, and tnon, drawing himself up a bit higher, he clung there motionless for a few minutes, and we began to think he had lost bis nerve and was afraid to move.

But that wasn't it—he was only gathering breath: and we gave a cheer, in which Billy Johnson heartily joined, as up there looking as small a* a crow, the plucky fellow gave the weathercock a spin round, afterwards holding on by bis legs, clasped round the copper support, while he took the rope from bis shoulders, undid the loop, and then tied it securely to the great strong support.

Ail this time be had hao bis s?raw hat on and now, taking it off, he gave it a skim away irom him and away it went, right out Into space, to fall at last far from the foot of the tower,

Joey now began to come down very slowly and carefaUy, as if the coming down was worse than the going up, ana mere than once he slipped but be had tight hold of the rope with one hand,and twit saved him, so that be only rested, and then continued to come down. You see the spire sloped so that he did not bang away from it, but against the atone aides: and so be went on watching biro till be was about half way down, when be stopped to rest, and, pulling up the rope a bit as he held on to the rope so as to his legs.

We gave nim another cheer, and so did Parson wbojuat then came up, when Joey waved his band.

As he did this, something occurred Which took away my breath tor, poor fellow, he seemed to dip, and before we conld utter a cry, he turned over and bong head downward, failing, with his leg through the loop, till his toot caught and be hung by it^ flgntlng hard for a few momenta to get back, but in vain and aa he watchednim hia struggles got weaker, so that be did not tnrnbimaelf up so tar iu trying to reach the loop where hia ankle was ca&ghi and at last he hung there, swinging gently to and frojonly moving bis handa.

By tbia time, Panon, 1* and two more bad got to the belfry door, and we ran panting up the dark stairaaae till we got unon toe lead a. 'Hoid on, Joey,' I shouted. To com-

did so, till at laat I was clinging there with one foot reating on a foclwt, wondering what 1 ahould do. j1 'Look sharp, lad,' said poor Joey, 'It aeema as if all my bloo(L|v«i rushing into my head.' .#

I leaned over and got Hold of tne rope ose to bis ankle, but do auytbing more I could not, I baa all the will in the world to help the poor fellow,but It took all my strength to keep myself with one band from falling, and as to raising my old companion, I neither, bad the strength nor tbe idea aa t6 hbw it conld be done.

The only way out of tbe difficulty seemed to be to take out my knife and cut the rope, and then the poor fellow would be killed. 'Come down,' cried a voice below me.

And looking toward the leads, there was Parson, stripped to his shirt and trousers, and with a coll of rope over bis shoulder—for the new well rope bad proved to be long enough to lot bira cut off some five aud thirty feet. 'Don't leave me,' groaned Joey, who was half-fainting. 'I feel as If I should fall any moment. I say, lad, this Is very awful.' 'Here's Parson coming up,' I said.

And so it wa» for he went to tbe row ofcrocketson the other side of Joey, who now hung, looking blue in the face, and with his eyes closed. 'He must make haste—make haste,' he moaned, softly.

I stopped, holding on, while Parson climbed up quicker than either of us had done it, drawing himself up by his arms in a wonderful way till he was abreast of us two—me holding on, and Joey hanging by one foot.

As soon as Parson reached us, be said a few words of encouragement to Joey, who did not speak a word, and then climbing higher, tied the short rope he carried to the long rope just above, the loop knot which hold Joey'8 ankle. Then coming down a little, he tied his rope tightly round Joey, just under the armpits. 'That will bear you, my lad. But catch fast hold of it with your bauds while I cut our foot free.'

Climbing up higher once more, he pulled out'his ktiile, opened it with his teeth, and then began to saw through the strands of the loops that held Joey's ankle, till there was a snap, a jerk, anda heavy swinging to and fro for tbe poor fellow had fallen two or three feet, and was now hanging by the rope round his breast, right way upwards.

He did not make any effort for a few minutes, and as cheer after che9r cime to us from below, he swung there, with us holding on for dear life. •'Can you climb down now. Ranee," said Parson, "if I cut you free "No, sir," he said, hoarsely "I've no use in my arras nor legs—they're all pins and noedles." "Then we must lower you down," said Parson, calmly.

And getting hold of the long pieco of rope, he climbed tip once more, as coolly as if he was on an apple tree in his own orchard, and saw that the knots were fast then coming down, he passed his long rope through tbe one round Joey's breast, and tied it again around bim. •Now,' he said, 'Fincher and I will hold on by this rope, and you can let him work it over his bead, and then, with Parson striding across from the crockets at one angle to those on the other, and me holding on to the rope as well, wo let him down sliding, with his back to tbe stone, till bis feet touched the leads, when be fell down all of a heap.

Untie tbe rope,' said Parson, 'and get him down.' He spoke very hoarsely, shouting to them below and a cheer came up. •Now, Fincher,' said Parson, 'we've got to get down.'

As he spoke he made a running noose in the rope with tbe end he held in bis band, let it run up to tbe big noose, and pulled it tight.

Then be made an effort to get bis le .s together on ono angle but the distance he had been bending was too great, aud he couldn't recover himself, but swuhg away by bis bands. «I can't help it, Fincher—I must go first,' he cried.

Aud he was already.sliding don the rope aa he spoke but I was so unnerved and giddy now that I dared not look down. I believe I quite lost my head thon for a lew moments for I was clinging there for life a hundred and twenty feet above tbe ground, and the wind seemed to be trying to push me from my hold.

I was brought to myself, though, just as the landscape about me seemed to be spinning round, by feeling the rope touch my side and I clasped it convulsively with both hands, and then, winding my legs round it, slid rapidly down, tbe rope seeming to turn to fire as it passed through my bands.

A few moments later, and I was safe on the tower leads, trying like the rest to smile at the danger we bad passed through but it was a faint, sickly kind of smfle, and we were all very glad to

fng

et down to the green, and cared nothfor the cheers of tbe people. The rope was left banging there, and stayed till it rotted away but somehow before a week waa out, that weathercock stopped squeaking, aa if some one bad been up to oil it. and, though nothing was said aboot it, I've alwaya felt as sure that Parson went up himself and d\fi it early one morning before any one was up.

He was cOoNheaded enough to do it, for he certainly aaved Joe Kance'a life, and I know no one in the village would have done it without bragging after. At all events, tbe weathercock was oiled, and as I said over and over again to Joey, 'If Parson didnt oil that weather ou«k, who did?' 1

TRAIN ED HO UsRK EEPRRS. It is abanrd to neglect a girl's domestie education until she ia ready to hecome a wife. Tbe idea that a woman must learn to keep bouse by her own experience is both foolish and hurtful. Does a man pot off learning a buaineea till it ia time to start for himself? 8tilL housekeeping must not be considered the Alpha and Omega of these duties. Deeper than this lie other qualities, quite an indispensable, and still mora necessary to a husband's or even a wife's happiness. It would consume too much space to enumerate tbem all, but wo may sum tbem up by saying thai be taught daughters should taaght to be womanly. For a truly womanly woman bas much tbe best ehance of bmni betng loved ordination nature has mido a tender, affection-

by a truly worthy man. The ordination of ate, sympathising woman more likely to attract strong, earnest, heroic men than one of a diOsrent atamp. Men love by a fine tnatinct, which generally Isads them aright, that is, when they love in the pom sense of tbe term and they wonkl love ofteser in tbat sense IT woman wen true to tbat ideal womanhood which even tbe lost reverence and acknowledge. lbs beat dower, therefore, a mother can give her daughter is the dower of perfect womanliness, for awomanly woman can enter into her. husband's weak nasses, adapt herself to hia fancies, and by a pleasant fiction, at least, adopt hia tastes.

great question of life and death. The Colonel, though quite bujy, consented to bo interrupted, and whet-ling hi* chair round said: "Fire away with your questions." A« an opening shot me reporter asked: "Colonel, sre vonr views of religion based upon the Bible?" "I regard the Bible, especially tlie Old Testament, the same as I do most other ancient books, in which there is some truth, a great deal of error, considerable barbarism and a most plentiful lack of good sense." "Have you found any other work, sabred or profnno, which you regard as more reliable?" "I know ol no book lees so, in my judgment." "You have studied the Bible attentively have you not?" "I have read tlie Bible, I iiave heard it talked al»out a good deal, and am sufficiently well acquainted with it to justifv my own mind in utterly rejecting ail claims made for its divine origin.'' "What do you base your views upon?"

h()n

reason, observation, experience,

lipon the discoveries in scicnce, upon obnerved facts, and the analogies properly growing out of such facts. I have no con ndencc in anything pretending to be outside, or independent of, or in any planner above nature." "According to your views, what disposition is made of man after death?" "Upon that subject I know nothing. It is no more wonderful that man should live again than that he now lives upon that question I know of no evidence. The doctrinc of immortality rests upon human affection. We love, therefore we wish to live." "Then you would not undertake to what becomes of man after death?" "Jf I told or pretended to know what becomes of nn after death. I would be as dogmatic as are theologians upon this question. The difference between them and me if, I am honest. I admit that do not know." "Judging by your criticism of mankind, Colonel, in your recent lecture, you have not found his condition very satisfactory?" "Nature, outside of man, so far as I know, is neither cruel nor merciful. I am not satisfied with the present condition of the human race nor with the condition of man during any period of which Ave have any knowledge. I believe, however, the condition of man is improved, and this improvement is due to his own exertions. I do not make nature a being. I do not ascribe to nature intention." "Is vour theory, Colonel, the result of investigation of this subject?" "No one can control his own opinion nor his own belief. My belief was forced upon me by my own surroundings. I am the product of all circumstances that have in any way touched me. I believe in this world. I have no confidence in any religion promising joys in another world at the expense of liberty and happiness in this. At the same time, I wish to give to others all the rights I claim for myself." "If asked for proofs of your theory, what would you furnish?" "The experience of every man who is honest with himself, every fact that has been discovered in nature. In addition to these, the utter and total failure of all religionists in all countries to produce one particle of evidence showing the existence of any supernatural power whatever, and the further fact that the people are not satisfied with their religion. They are continually asking for evidence. Uiey arc asking it in every imaginable wav. The sect* are continually dividing. There is real religious serenity in the world. All religions are opponents of intellectual liberty. I believe in absolute mental freedom. Heal religion with me is a thing not of the head, hut of the heart not a catechism, not a creed, but a life." "What punishment, then, is inflicted upen man for crimes and wrongs committed in this life?" "There ia no such thing as dh Intellectual crime. No man can commit a mental crime. To become a crime it must go beyond thought." "What punishment is there for physical crime?" "Such punishment as is necessary to protect society and for the reformation of the criminal.'5 "If there is only punishment in this world, will not some escape punishment?" "I admit that all do not seem to be punished as they deserve. I also admit that all do not seem to be rewarded as they deserve and there is in this world, apparently, as great a failure in the matter of reward as in the matter of punishment. If there is another life, a man will be happier there for having acted according to his highest ideal in this. But I do not discern in nature any effort to do justice." "Are you generally received as flatteringly in your lecturing tours as you were here" last Wednesday evening?" "Yes.1 At the same time, I was greatly flattened by my reception here." "Then your views are nofso unpopular as might be supposed from the abuse vou receive."
