STICK TO HIM, JEMMY.-Two brothers
from the Emeral Isle, few years since,
purchased piece of land not far from Ken
nebec, and went to work to clear it up
After cutting down the large growth ana
burning over the underbrush, they proceed
ed to contrive plan to get these fallen
trunks together in pile, for the purpose of
burning also. The land lay upon the side
of hill, and they concluded that if they
could roll large log which lay near the
summit, and place it about half way down,
they might pile the rest against it, and thus
secure the object. But how were they to
prevent it when once under way from roll
ing to the bottom, and thus defeating their
plan? To accomplish this they cltained a
rope, and making one end fast to the log,
one of them was to hold on to the other
end to prevent 1t from going too far, while
the other was to start it. Fearing that he
might not be able to prevent the rope from
slipping through his fingers, Jimmy, who
was the steersman, tied it to his body.
''Start him aisy, Phelim, said he, after
convincing himself that all was right and
tight.
Phelim did start him, and as the log COM
menced its progress, the rope caught in a
projecting knot, and began rapidly to wind
in. Itsoon drew poor Jimmy chock up
First he went over the log, and then the
log went over him, and so they continued
their circumgyrations and somersets. Phe-
lim..stood still and watched their progress
for a moment, and then sung out:
"Stick to him, Jimmy; faith you're a
match for him, any way you're on top half
the time.'
