"Please, mum," he enswered; "the putninhandle's broke, and missile took the water from the bailer." - " Johnny," said the teacher, "a lie can be acted as well as told. Now, if your father were to put sand in his *Inger and sell it, he would: be acting et iie and doing very wrong.'

"Ceurch ?" "Yes a church." "Oh, yes ;I know what you enean-e-ane of those things where they ring a bell like thunder es ery Sunday Ramming. Yes, we've got one." "Don't you ever attend?" "Me? No, I never have yet. I pat in $25 though toward building it." "How did you come to do that if yoa don't take interest enough to attend ?" " Oh, I knew what I was doing.

Asshe became more ebsorbed irs the pursuit, her en- thusiam increased, and hens and their care were the favorite subject of her thoughts and conversation. During one ef her animated descriptions of ,her sue- eess, a friend enquired,-" Are your bens good hens?" "()h yes," she re- plied ia a delighted tone.

"Father said we were to do our chores early, you know." " Yes, I'm just going to." But Hal kept on trying to make Carlo - sit upright and hold a pipe in his modth. The sitting up was a success as long as Carlo was held up, but he weakened do-wn in a most provoking manner as 0011 as left to himself. The pipe fell to the floor and went to pieces just as Hal's father looked in at the shed door S " All done, boys?" ly. "Yes, sir, said Had's brothers prompt- " Well -almost," said Hal.

"I'll help you," said little Tom, kind • ly, as he made a rush to pick up the ap- pies. They were soon gathered, bust in H poor order, and then al insisted on a Tom's leaving him and going with the di ethers. " catch you," he said. ride the pony and go 'cross lots." He piled the wood, but so badly, in kis hurry, that it fell down and had to be done over. Then, out of breath and •t fearing he would entirely lose the fine tl sight, he threw himself coatless, hatless ir and shoeless, upon the pony's bare back hi and roee quickly across the fields. "I *met go around by the bridge," he said to himself. " go by farmer Allen's ford; ahorten the way a great dal." But as he came to the brook he saw that it was so much swollen by late • rains. that he felt 4 little doubtful about the wisdom of trying to cross, and gone around by the one who is a trifler and a laggard as a boy will ever be a great man or a good one, which is far better. A seedier of Christ must always be up and about his Master's business. If you ever expect to do Film good and loyal service, Hal, you must make your first fight against the faults that beset you •now. When you reach home go to your room and learn this verse: "'Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.'" A Few Hibernicisms. A correspondent of the. Spectator, _ who recently gave a collection of Hi- bernicisms, records a saying which came from the lips of a peasant, and yet • conveys in brief compass a most graphic description of many Irishmen of all classes. "I like action," retnarked this candid, Celt, "but I hate work." This he say, is home truth of the widest ap- plicatien to the Irish character. Among special Celtic characteristics, which the writer illustrates, he gives a prominent pilace to the pbwer of apology. "It was not the dhroPI had taken," said a Kerry peasane, charged with being drunk and • disorderly, "but I had a shnioke out of a neighbor's pipe, and that leaned upon me." Again, although undoubtedly im- paired f late years, there is still a good deal of homely courtesy to be met with armee the peasantry in their dealings with e'the gentry, or "the quality.," as they phrase it. Their desire not to shock the ears of their betters is evinced by the constant use of the expression • " sa,ving your presence." A lady friend, seeing e fisherman seized with a violent fit of coughing, said to him, "If you'll come up to the house, Patsey, I'll give you something that'll do your cough good.",, " 'Tis not a cough that I have, ma'am,' replied Patsey ; "saving your presence, 'tis a fly that has gone wesht in my stomach." This last expression needs elJucidation. The Kerry man has practic91ly only two points to his com- pass, Wesht and Esht, and for once that you heat the latter you will 'hear the former twenty times. In fact, it is used in the widest sense. "Push wesht;" means simply "move on a bit;" and the latitude with which this word is used may best be illustrated by further anec- dotes. The same lady, when stopping with her ' husband at a fishing inn in South Kerry, was sorely tried by thel dirtinese of a small protege of hers. At' last, in response to her repeated re-, quests, he went so far as to wash his face. "But why didn't you wash your eck, Johnny ?" " Och, ma'am, 'tis too ar wesht entirely." Another marked characteristic of the elt is his fatalism. This resignation as its ledicrous as well as its tragic ide. As with the lower middle classes f the NOrth of England, a death in a amily et a sort of excitement, and is ften unhappily made the excuse for a ret deal of feasting and drinking- 'ortunately the Irishman has not the ame facilities which his English breth. en possess for spending large sums on 11 the hideous pageantry of an elabor- te funeral. Still, the event in a poor rish household is an important one, and he following story would seern to show hat an unexpected recovery is regarded' s an unfair proceeding on the part of a oribund peeson : A doctor visiting he house of a poor family found th'em 11 gathered round the bed of a sick an, sprinkling it at times with holy ater, and saying at intervals: "De - art, Oh istian soul." On inquiry, he (. scertain d, that this process had been 1 oing on or a great many holm', during hich iicI nourishment had Fosn ad- inistere4l, for, as they said, "Why ould w interfere wid a dyin! man ?" he exer ise of a very little skill suf- eed to r store the patient to complete ealth.

"Don't you try t Leak out now t ere's a big hole right ahead of you; if you get in it's ten to one you'll never get out." . "Hal reined back his pony, which was lready floundering about as if in great doubt of his footing.; From farther down the bank Farmer Allen came ot his own horse, picking his way along the shallower places and growling at the folly and stupidity of bop. There !" he grumbled as he at last seized the pony and turned him the other way. "The next time you come foolin' round in deep water leaveyou to get out as best you 1 can -see if I iton't In a very crestfallen spirit poor Hal terued the other way. "If only the General's a little, after time," he said, perhaps 11I be there Komi enough yet. I do believe I hear the drum and fife now. Get up, Pony !"

" If you are ever a general or any other great man, ner boy, you will find it your filet need to be prompt and dili- gent in all you do, But be sure that no e naw," he said.

The tenant of a swamp hold - g -a inen who had that fondness for g worde so frequently observable in e Irish peasant -delivered himself in e course of his evidence of the follow - g remarks :-" I have rayalised (rea- ed) seven ehildren, and if I were to r yalise seven more I wouldn't wish one o them to imbibe an acre of land." _AInd lateon, reverting to the same metephor, he observed :-" 'Tis bad weather few one that is immersed in Linde Much that is picturesque and qUaint in the speech of the Irish peasant is due to his surroundings and the con- ditions of his life. Inasmuch as sea- weed is largely used in agriculture, one can realize the feelings which prompted a countrywoman -called in at an ernerg- enley to do housemaid's work, and seeing sone alga emeloyed as an ornament -to e. claim :---e` Glory be to God, to think that I shoeld live to see the manure in the drawing -room." So, when in reply to the queetion whether he had seen any rabbits, al native answered : - "Yes, yeur honor, rhole funerals of them," he only empleyed the word representing the greatest combination of length and nambers with which his experience had rendered him accpiainted. I 1 1 • --- College Confederation. Sir Richard Cartwright at the open- • ing, of Queen's College Kington, last Teesday evening took the oppertunity of making e. few remarks on college coe- solidation. He referred to former dis- cuesions he had with the late Rev. Dr. Leitch, with whose views he coincided, to the effect that if a well considered scheme welt submitted, by which a uni- forlin degree could' be granted without th4 collegelosing their autonomy or ret tering a 'range of residence, a. good deel might be said in favor of it. ,Then he Was a federaliet-an ind i vjdualist-_ one favorable to the fullest freedom of th ught and actioe-- a friend of local sel -government in all shapes and forms. He opposed centralizatioe, because the loc tion of colleges in various places promoted healthy competition -it pro- moted individuality of character and iris deeendence of thought. The present order of things was favorable to dif- fueion not to consolidation. Turn i ug to the practical side of the question he found that Queen's had struck flew roots, largely due to the energy'and the great` executive ability ,of Principal Grant. It had done good Work, and promised to do better in the future. " My ad- vice," he said, " islto let well enough alone. I am satisfied that if the doc- trine of the sureival of the fittest is ap- plicable, thee the days of Queen's will be long in the land. I trust that neither you, Mr. Principal, nor any successor, will I ever be called Jupon to inse 'College to let' over the portals Queen's."
