Private Begging.

An Irish mendicant presented himself at the
door of one of the small parish manses in Had
dington, Scotland, and inquired, with an air of
mystery, if the minister was at home. The SER

message for him he would carry it mp to him.
No." said the man, ~ want to see the
minister himself
Mr.. - was accordingly called and on
making his appearance he demanded of Pat the
nature of his business.
Och p says he, glancing a look towards
the servant, 81 want word in secret wild yer
SELF pleas yer rivirence."
He was accordingly conducted into the minis
ters study, where, after the door had been care
fully shut, he proceeded to unfold his errand in
a low whisper. He said that, as he was APP
preaching the village he observed a notice on
the toll-bar prohibiting public begging within
the bounds of the parish, and that he was him
self poor beggar.
And, plage yer honor" said he. ~ don't

so Ive made bowld to speak word to ye in

This was said with such an air of affected Sc
crecy and drolery that the clergyman, putting
his hand into his pocket, rewarded Pats inven-
tive wit with the gift Of half crown.

Indian SuperstitiOns.

The Indians believe that the thunder is huge
bird, with green back and gray breast, and that
she tapping of his wings causes the thunder,
(some faint resemblance to the NEUROLOGICAL
birds of Jove, who carried the thunder in their
claws. They imagine that the heavens are
supported by four large poles resembling large
trees; that the big bird lives in the west, and
is Only heard when flying east. This is easily
accounted for by the fact of their storms almost
invariably coming from the west. They have
a superstitious fear of the aurora borealis, which
they call the medicine fire." They believe
that it has the power of rendering them good
shots IAN idea arising, imagine, from the man
ner in which the rays of light of an aurora dart
about in the heavens), and consequently wor-
ship it, OF meteors and falling stars they have
great dread; they believe that they are sent
by the great warriors who are in the "happy
hunting grounds" to warn them Of danger.

orship in any OF the academies. Has no objec-
ton to teach ornamental painting and penman-

he can do almost anything. Would board with
q family if decidedly pious.
