AN UNDERGROUND VoYAGE.-Mest Of our
readers are aware that a majority of the
small lakes through this section of the state
and MINI. are connected by underground
passages one with another. In some of
these ponds or lakes, there is a current of
two miles an hour, showing conclusively
that there is large and rapid stream Of
water continually passing between them
But We have a more convincing illustration
OF this fact than ever before given in the ad-
ventures ofa Norwegian named Christian
Hogan, who was engaged, a few days, ago
to dig well within about twenty rods of
one Of these lakes for Mr.. Amos Goodwin,
Of Minnesota. After sinking the hole to
sixty feet he reached sand stone rock
which he proceeded to pick through.
Hearing what he supposed to be a terrible
wind overhead, he called out to the man at
the wirldlass to know if storm was coming
up. He had no more than received the
negative reply when the whole bottom of the
well fell out, and he was precipitated into
torrent of water which carried him headlong
into the very bowels Of the earth. His
companion, as might be supposed was bad
ly frightened, and gave up Christian for lost.
Judge his surprise, on seeing, few minutes
later, the veritable Hogan putting and blow
ing like porpoise in the lake, where the
current of the stream had carried him in
less time than it takes us to Wi ite it. With
the exception Of few bruises received upon
the rocks, the Norwegian came out as good
as *-but he says he don't like that
manner of navigation mo how" as there
isn't air and light enough for comfort on the
route he traveled.-.Star.

A DoLoRoUs ;DEACoN-I have seen q
deacon in the pride of his humanity. He
combed his hair straight, and looked stud-
ously at the main chance; and while he
looked, he employed himself in setting a
good example. His dress was rigidly plain,
and his wife was not INDUCED in the vani
ties of millinery and mantua making. He
never joked. He did not know what a Joke
was any further than to know that it was a
sin. lie carried Sunday face throughout
the week. He did not mingle in the happy
social parties of his neighborhood. He was
deacon. He starved his social nature be.
cause he was deacon. He refrained from
all participation in free and generous life
because he was deacon. He made his
children hate Sunday because he was dea.
con. He so brought them up that they
considered themselves unfortunate in being
the children of a deacon. His wife was pit
led by other women because she was the
wife of deacon. Nobody loved him. If
ne came into circle where men were laugh.
ing or telling stories, they always stopped
until he went out. Nobody grasped his
hand cordially, or slapped him on the shoul-
der, or spoke Of him as good fellow. He
seemed as dry and hard and tough as a
piece Of jerked beef. There was no soft.
ness of charactcr-no juiceness-no love.
liness in him.
Now it is Of no use for me to undertake
to realize to myself that God adttiires such
a character as this.

WHAT WE Sow We SHALL REAP.-There
was once an old man whose eyes had be.
come dim, his ears deaf When he sat a,
the dinner table, he could hardly hold on
to his spoon, so that sometimes he split his
soup on the cloth. His son and daughter
in-law were much displeased with this a,
last they put him in corner behind tho
stove, and gave him food in little earther
pail. He never got as much as lie could
eat, and he would often look towards the
table with wet yet longing eyes.
One day his shaking hands let the little
dish fall, and it was broken. The woman
scolded, but he said nothing; he only sigh
ed. They brought wooden trough for
him. Once as he was sitting thus in the
corner, his little grandchild, about four
years old. was playing on the floor near
him, with some pieces of wood
what are you making!" asked the
father smiling.
81 am making a trough" answered the
child, "for father and mother to eat from
when they are old and am grown big"
The man and his wife looked at each
other in silence. They brought their old
father back to the table and gave him as
much as he wished, and they never again
spoke angry when his trembling hands
split soup on the cloth.

A merfca nisms.

Ameflc0n1smSs
America is indebted to the Old World
for nearly all It's verbal vulgarisms and
cant phrases. What is called the ina
sal drawl' of Yankee land, for example, is
a gift from Norfolk and Suffolk, England,
where they say "eend' for end, "keow''
for COW, "eout' for out, just as some folks
do in Connecticut ard Massachusetts,. The
old Dutch settlers have supplied us with a
good many queer words. For example,
"cookey" is slight modification OF koelje
a little cake; 'kruller" is from the Dutch
verb krullen, to curl, "speck and apple
jees' is slight modification Of spec en- ap
pletjes, the name for fried pork and apples
among the Hollanders and boss is an
improvement on the Dutch word 6aass, EN-.
ployer. To the Mcxicans We owe several
outlandish phrases, such as to stampede,
chapparal, ranch, vamouse, c.,-the last
being an adoption Of the Spanish verb
ramos-literally ''let us CO." But the
"mother country" has furnished nine
tepths of the contents Of our vocabulary.
To her we are indebted for such lingual de-
licacies as ''larrup,' ''mizzle," ''let up"
''let on" "yourn," "hcrn" and ''thcirn."-
"She'sn' is also used in some parts of
England but We have not as yet imported

WESTERN SOLDIERS s-The western men
fight like heroes. Old soldiers and new
recruits arc alike in earnest and almost
equally efficient in the battle field. One of
the regiments that stood the bravcst and
suffered the worst at Fort Donelson, had
been organized less than month and was
very raw in everything but stern heroism
The officers Of these men have no doubt of
their courage. They know that at any hour
they can be led against the encmy's bate
ries. No long preparation is needed to
make them fit to fight for their country
And so the men gloriously justify the con.
fidence Of their leaders
AS yet the great achievements of the war
have mainly been the work Of western men,
Their advance reminds us Of one Of Web.

We trust, however, that the men Of the east

glory of lofty daring and Of noble deeds for
freedom are not equally divided between
the two sections.-New YORK. Tribune.

4 VETERAN PLEAsANTRY.-There was q
physician in the neighborhood of Franklin,
where Dr. Emmons preached for twenty.
one years, who had some peculiar notions
upon religious and other matters. The
physician being called to sick family,
met the minister at the house of affliction.
1t was no place for dispute. 1t was no
place for unbecoming familiarity with the
minister. 1t was no place for the physi-
clan to enquire the age of the minister,
especially with any intent of entangling
hin%sa debate, and above II, where the
querist was too visionary for any logical
discussion. But the abrupt question was
Mr.. E,nmons, how old are yous
Sixty. sir; and how old are you," came
the quick reply?
"As old as the creation SIR" was the
triumphant response.
'Then yeu are Of the same era with
Adam and Eveg''
"Certainly; l was in the garden the
same time they were"
II have always heard that there was
third person in the garden with them, but
| never knew before that it was uou."
The physician did not follow up the dis
cusSion.
