ORIGIN OF THE TERM FENIAN.

THERE have been numerous deriva-
tions given to tho name Fenian. The
most probable is that which deduces the
name of Finn, the most celebrated chief
tain of Erin in the earliest period of ira
dictionary history. The ancient Fenians
or " Finnis men" make no inconsidera-
bic figure in the earliest annals of Ire
land, and seem to have been the war;
riors of their day. "Their great leader,
Finn" says Pinkerton, in his enquiry
into the History Of Scotland" "was a
man of great talents for the age, and for
celebrity in arms. His formation of II
regular standing army seems to have
been a rude imitation of the Roman le-
gions in Britton." The legends con-
corning their chief, abounding in Ire
land, are most numbcrlcss. He is fabled
to have made the famous Giants Cause
way as Il highway over which to lead
his bands to Scotland. There is scarcely
a hillside in "the auld country" but,
while it preserves his profile on its out
lines, pcrpetuates the history of some
one of his wonderful exploits. Whether
the prerequisites for membership into
his band were at all times rigidly en-
forced, or whether they are still adhered
to by the Fenians of modern times, we
cannot say, but an old and venerable
historian tells us that before a man
could he enrolled into the ancient broth
crhood he had to promise: First, when
he was disposed to marry, he should not
follow the mercenary custom of insist
ing upon portion with a wife, but,
without regard to her fortune, he should
choose Il wife for her virtue, courtesy,
and good manners; the second, that he
should never offer violation to woman,
or attempt to ravish her; the third, that
he would be charitable, and relieve the
poor who desired meat and drink, as far
as his abilities would permit; and fourth,
that he would not turn his back or re-
fuse TO fight with nine mon of any other
nation that set upon him and offered to
fight with him." The same yeracjous
writer informs us that in the admission
of recruits to the ranks of the Fenians,
in the days of yore, there were a num-
Der of rules to be Observed: "Tlfe par
ents must give up all rights to revenge
or compensation for the candidates

state of society when the punishment
for IL death was either revenge or eric.
lie must be able to compose verses. He
must be expert with his weapons; and
he was exposed to Il very good test; he
had to defend himself against the jave-
Inns of nine soldiers thrown ut once. He
was to run through a wood pursued by
some Fenians, in order to test his fleet
ness and agility. lie must be able to
hold his weapon without shaking it; if
his hand shook he was rejected. He
must be so swift and so light of foot as
not to break rotten stick by treading

THE LITTLE CUP OF TEARS,

WE find the following North German
legend in "Thorpe's Yuletide Stories,"
one of Bohn's antiquated stories. 1t is
too beautiful to remain in the sole keep
ing of antiquaries: "Thcre was moth
er who loved her first child with her
whole heart, and thought she could not
live without it; but the Almighty sent
Il great sickness among children, which
seized this little one, who lay sick on its
bed even to death. Three days and three
nights the mother watched and wept,
and prayed by the side of her darling
child, but ii died. The mother, now
alone in the wide world, gave way to
the most violent and unspeakable grief;
she ate nothing and drank nothing, and
wept, wept, wept three long days and
three long nights. This the mother did
without ceasing, calling constantly on
her child. The third night, as she thus
sat, overcome with suffering, in the place
where her child had died, her eyes
bathed in tears, and faint from grief,
the door softly opened, and the mother
started, for before her stood her departed
child. 1t had become u heavenly angel,
and smiled sweetly as innocence, and
was beautiful like the blessed. 1t had
in its hand a small cup that was almost
running over, so full was it. And tho
child spoke; son! dearest mother,
weep no more for me; the angel of
mourning has collected in this little cup
| the tears you have shed for me. If for
me you shed but one tear more, it will
overflow, and shall have no more rest
in the grave and no joy in Heaven.
Therefore, O dearest mother! weep no
more for your child; for it is we'll and
happy, and angels are its companions.'
1t then vanished. The mother shed no
more tears, that she might not disturb
her child's JOY in Heaven"

A WORD FOR WIVES.

LITTLE wives, ,ifevera Il half-supprcsscd
sigh finds place with you, or half-un-
loving word escapes you to the husband
whom you love, let your heart go back
to some tender word in those tirst-lOVc
days; remember how you loved him
then, how tcndorly he woocd you, how
timidly you responded; and if you can
feel that you have not grown unworthy,
trust him for the same fond love now.
If you do feel that through many cares
and trials of life you have become less
lovable and attractive than you then
were, tum-by all that you love on earth,

your husband. Nestle by his side, cling
to his love, and let his confidence in you
never fail F.; and my word for it, the hus-
band will be dearer than the lover ever
was. Above all things, don't forget the
live he gave you first. DO not seek to
emanclpate" yourself-do not strive TO
unsex yourself, and become Lucy
Stone, or Rev. Miss Brown; but love
the higher honor ordained by the Saw
iour of old-that of a loving wife. a
happy wife, a blessed mother, can have
no higher station, needs no greater

A PAPER EATER.

TIE Indianapolis Sentinel tells the
following: "a young lady of this city
while mt school contracted Il bad habit,
which she now finds it impossible to
break oil-that of chewing paper. Her
parents buy it for her by the ream, and
she consumes on an average quire per
week, rolling her paper ball under her
tongue as a sweet morsel, and squirting
the saliva about like an old salt She is
quite connOisseur in the matter of pa
per, and cvinces IL decided preference for
II certain pale-blue unruled toolscap,
which smells badly. Deprived of her
paper for day or two, she becomes rest
less, distraught, and melancholy, refuses
to eat or be comfOrted, and is not herself
till fresh supply is procured. GLOW
is Miss -" we inquired of a friend
the other day. "Not WE'LL" was the
reply, "her paper doesn't agree with
her." We have heard of opium-eating,
snufi-eating, arsenic eating, and pencil
eating among the female fraternity, but
we believe this is the first instance of
papcr-cating that has como under our
knowledge. If the young lady knew
how paper was made, we think she
would make an extraordinary effort to
break OF the pernicious habit.

varied and abundant AS q Steward he has been
foremost in attention to the financial interests of the
church, and always ready, according to his means
and beyond his means, to contribute for the sup

devoted himself with unfagging energy and through
many di fragments, to the promotion of that de-

Letter frsih United stntes Treas
ury Spinner Relative 90 National
Banks.
United States Treasurer Spinner has ad-
dressed the following letter, concerning ma
tional banks, 10 the cashier of the Mer-
chants National bank at Memphis, Tenn.
you ask to what extent is the Govern
ment liable for the redemption of the notes
of the national bank? answer To the
full nominal face value of every note issued
by the comptroller of currency to bank,
and by the banks put into circulation.
''lou ask, should the bank deposit with
the United States treasurer to secure the
circulating notes, with the bank depositing
them, be inadequate to the redemption of
the notes Of the bank, by reason of the de-
cline of securities deposited, is the gov
ernment bound to redeem the notes at par !?
A.-The 47th section of the national cur
rency act not only gives right to forfeit all
the securities, but, for any deficiency, the
government has first and paramount lien
upon all the assets of defaulting bank,
therefore | answer this question affirna-
lively.
You ask again. could the absolute fail
urs of national bank impair the value of
the circulating notes of the bank making
such failures answer. No. On the contra
ry. the notes of the national oank that has
failed are rather better than those of bank
in good standing, if away from the business
marts or commercial centres Of the country,
for the reason that the treasurer of the Uni
ted States becomes the cashier of such de-
faulting bank, aud wilt, through his assist
auts and all other government officers, re-
deem such circulation.
You ask, fourth, are the notes of the Uni
ted States treasury, beyond the fact of their
being legal tender, better security to the
holder than the currency of the natlona!
banks A.-The only difference between
the two is. that while the latter are only
legal tender from and to the government
the former are legal tender from and to al
parties. whether municipalities, corpora
tons or individuals.
