Hold Fast Belowv
A party of Irishmen, onto upon a time, contracted to clear a very deep well. Having none of the usual conveniences employed for such purposes, they were at a loss to get ono of the party on a little ledge near the bottom to assist in the process of getting out water, mud, etc. At last .Jimmy Phelan, a herculean fellow, proposed a plan which was consider just the thing.
It was this: Jimmy was to clasp Ids big fists around the windkss; then another of the party was to clamber down and hold on by his legs, and so on until the last man should be able to leap upon the ledge.
Being slightly corned with liquor, the party prepared for the decent, without stopping to contemplate the difficulties involved in the adventure.
With bared breast, and sleeves tucked up, big Jimmy seized tho round portion of tho windlass directly over tho well and swuni: himself over. Another of the party crept down Jimmy's Dod_) art*pTT>iTp««4k;»» by the boots. After several more had fol¬ lowed suit, and the human chain began to stretch far in to the well, Jimmy becanio alive to one grate difficulty; the windlass did not afford him a good hold in the first place, and thi- weight was getting intoler¬ able.
At last human sinew could st'rnd it no longer, and Jimmy hailed the lower link in the chain with :
'Be jabers, Pat howld fast below till 1 sphit ou me bans.
Suiting the action to the words, he re¬ leased his hold, when, of course, the whide party was prociptated to the bottom of the well. .'\s luck would have it, thei-o was more mud than water where the Hibernians lit, iiu 1 they wisely considered themselves particularly fortunate in esciiping without actual loss of either lilij or limb.
Wat gjim« €\xtU,
The Corner Lounger.
The young si(nirt on the corner, with his hat a little on one side, the stub of a cheap cigar iu his mouth, and a stare for every lady that passes, is a loafer Do you know where he gets his money? His mother earns it for him by taking in w.ashing. Poor soul! she thinks her boy will get work soon. He could find work emmgh to keep him busy from early mourn until evening, if he w.inted it, but he is a lazy loafer, and dim't want work. If he gets a place, he neglects his work, or docs it so poorly ho is soon discharged. He never wiiks for the .same man twice; or. perhaps he is particlar wh.atkind of work he does. Ho is willing that his mother or sister should sew or wash to earn money for him to spend, but he is a little particular as to the work he does. He looks down on that sweaty carpenter who hur¬ ries px«t him, nods condecendingly to his friend, the shoemaker, and sends a whiff of f moke into the eyes of bedaubed pain¬ ters, with both hands full of pots and briLshcs He couldn't borrow 10 cents of any of them. They know he would never pay it. They earn their money. He begs of his mother a part of her hard earnings, at an age, too, when he is capable of putting his shoulder to the wheel and adding a little towards tho support of himself and little brothers and sisters.
The Dandy.
The effeminate man is a weak poultice. He is a cross between root beer and ginger pop, with the cork left out; a frosh-water mermaid found in a cow pasture with hands tilled with dandelions. He is a teacup full of syliabub; a kitten in panta- letta ; a sick monkey with a blonde mus¬ tache, lie is a vine without any tendril ; a fly drowned in oil; a paper kite in a dead calm. He lives like a butterfly—nobody can tell why. Ho is as harmless as a cent's worth of spruce gum, and as a shirt but¬ ton without a hole. He is as lazy as a bread pill, and has no more hope than a last year's grasshopper. He goes through life on tiptoes, and dies like cologne water spilt over the ground.
A YOUNO Ilooosicr once said to a Hoosieress, "Sal, is there any body euurtin' you now ?" .-Vnd Sal replied. "Well. Sam, there is one fellow sorter courtin' and sorter not; but I rather reckon, it is moro sorter not than sorter."
The Heavenly Race.
The race-course, one of the great amuse¬ ments of the apostidie age. furnished the apostle Paul with a most striking and beau¬ tiful illustration of the Christian life. The aneient races were of intense interest. The va.st amphitheatre is crowded with interest¬ ed spectators. In the distance is the crown, made of ivy. oak, or laurel—intrinsically of no value, but earnestly sought as a re¬ ward of sn.^ccssful physical effort. The competitors are selected, aud enter the course—the race begins—all eyes are fixed on the runners. Father, mother, brother, sister, aro saying, "Will my son, my broth¬ er win ?" The runners are stimulated to tax all their powers to the uttermost in view of the thousands of witnesses whose eyes are upon them.
What a scene for the apostle I He seizes it, and applies it to the Chri.^tian life.— Every Christian is a runner, and the great- 'jst possible preparation should be made for tho race, l-^very incumbrance should bo laid aside, and the sin to which wc are most naturally inclined, either by our con¬ stitutional peculiarities or the circumstan¬ ces in which we may be placed. Business perplexities, sinful propensities, inveterate prejudices, lifeless formalities, unbelief, pride, covetousness, anger, needless indul¬ gence, will sor'umsly hinder us in tho spir¬ itual raco-course. Patience is required.— The nature of tho contest is such that pa¬ tience will bo needed in its most perfect state.
The eye must be fixed nn Jesus. He is the '-.Vuthor and finishcrof our faith." and consequently. He will su.-^tain it. He has overcome; so we are to look to Him tis hav¬ ing triumphed. As He triumphed, so shall we; lie gained the crown, so .shall we. if we are successful in tho race.
The cloud of witnesses—who are these '! D.iubtless the departed ones, some'nf whom we have known, our fellow-laborers, some of them members of our own household, the dear ones of' our hearts. The Siiints nf oldeu times are in the cloud. The apostle gives us il list of some of them in the 11th '<.l>«j.t<.r ..I' H..UrBww. Al«*l beads the list. The fir.st to enter heaven, ho yet speaketh ; Enoch, who was triiiislatid that he should not see dciith ; Noah, the prejchcr of right- oousnes.s, who yatnes.scd the dreadful scene of the destruction of the world's inhabitants by the flood : and Abraham, the friend of (iod, who Could oft'er his dear Isaac in sac¬ rifice, are in the cloud.
What witnesses I They are looking, fol¬ lowing us al.ing the racecourse. How anx¬ ious I -'Will he will—will he 1 se ':" they excliiim ; and the scene brightens, and they become jubilant on the arrival of the dear ones who had struggled hard f.ir the crown of life.
How inspiring to think that the dear ones—those we have known and loved iu other years, v>ith whom we have tiiken sweot counsel, and with wliii.<e spirits we have hold sweet communion, though safe boyond the conflicts of life—have not for¬ gotten us. but are iutcrosled for us still! That mother—dear name—with what anx¬ ious solicitude sho watched over my early years,
•' -And taught my roving feet. To tread Ihc hca'vcnly road I" she is thinking of me .^till, and her anxious eye I'ollows us along the race-course.   That dear little one—an angel now—that early gained the prize, is among the witnesses.— They know our struggles and conflicts, and how  often do they whisper, when we are fainting, or  growing weary. "Be of good 1 cf.iiriy;|.—hr\^ on—^•'udj¦•<?_" Uitle Iongcr/^_^_ i aud then  exclaim,   'llioro  (omes  ;liuiru7!j I mother,   brother,   si.^ter.   child I"     What j greetings, what ecstaciesare there !

The Secret of Good Work.
Some years ago I was brought in con¬ tact with a colored man. He was nothing but a cobbler—he said himself he was not a decent shoemaker, and I can testify to that from some experience of his work. But if not elegantly done, it was thorough¬ ly done, and that was the point. He told mo that when he hocame too old and crip¬ pled to work in tho field and house, ho took to cobbling.     1 said to him.
"Mj- friend, after this cobbling on e.irth is done, how about the other world ? Have you any hope for ii better world?"
'•-Vh, master," said he. "I ain nothing, as I told you, but a poor cobbler, but I feol, when I sit here and work at my stool, that the good Master i.s looking at me, and when I put on a heel tap. it is not ptiper, but good leather."
It is not the work wo do upon earth that makes the whole of life, but it is the way iu which we do that work—it is the mo¬ tive, ''Thou. God, seest me."
Cheerfulness—Is half one's own good¬ ness, and half a belief in the goodness of others.
Temperance meetings are being held in almost every county in the State.
