ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL

Not a great while ago, an Irishman was
employed in we'll known village to dig a
we'll pro bono p"hlico. The contract was
made that he was to be paid a certain sum
At it he went with a will, and his daily
progress was intently watched by interested
parties. Early and late he delved away faith
fully, deep down in the earth, full of conf
dence in the speedy completion of his labors.
He had reached the depth of about
"strke water" Early one morning Pat
repaired to the scene of his labors, and,
horrible to tell, it had caved in and was
nearly full. He gazed with rueful visagc
upon the wreck, and thought of the addi-
tional labor the accident would cause him
After moments reflection he looked ear
nestly around and saw that no one was
stirring; then, quickly divesting himself of
his hat and coat, he carefully hung them OH
the windlass, and speedily made tracks for
neighboring eminence which overlooked
the village. Here, hiding amid the under
growth, he quietly awaited the progress of
events.
AS the morning wore on, the inhabitants
began to arouse and stir out. Several were
attracted to the well, thinking that, as Pats
hat and coat were there, he was below, of
course. at work. Soon the alarm was raised
that the we'll had caved in and that Pat was
in it. A crowd collected, and stood horri-
fed ut the fate of poor Pat. A brief con-
sultation- held, and soon spades and
other implements were brought to dig out
the remains of the. unfortunate man. To
work they went with a will; when one set
became wearied with the unusual labor, a
dozen ready hands grasped the implements
and dug Justify. Pat quietly looked on
from his retreat on the eminence, while the
whole village stood around the we'll, and
watched, with breathless suspense, the
work go bravely on.
AS the diggers approached the bottom,
the excitement of the bystandels grew in
tense; and they collected as near as safety
would admit, gazing fearfnlly down into
the well. With great care and prccaution
the dirt was dug away; and when the bot
tom was at length reached, no Pat was to
be found. The crowd, before so anxious
gradually relaxed into a broad grim which
broke forth in uproarious mcriimcnt, when
the vcritable Pat walked up with smiling
countenance and addressed the crest fallen
d@Scrs. who now stood weary soilcd with
thcir labors:
- Be jabers, Gintlcmin. and its Patrick
Pagan, sure. that is much obiccocd to wees
fol doin' of that nice little job OF work -
The effect can be better imagined than
described. and as the most active of the
young men skunk off, several low-breathcd
mmtteIings broke forth that sounded very
much like - sold -
Through the kindly aid of his fellow
citizens Pat soon finished his well, and it
remains among the monuments of his gc-
MUS to this day.

P1ous PuRrTANs.

was promised to be ne1t in order after the
demolition of the Southern rebels. Ac.
cording to the following extract from the
New York correspondence of. the Mobile
Sunday Times, they might be more profit
ably employed in attending to morals and
matters nearer home:
I have noticed that the religious papers
are dreadfully concerned about the Pope
and fearfully fearful that the Papists viii
this country. If, instead of raising the old
scarecrow that people only laugh at now,
these religious papers would open crusade
against child murder, they could do a great
deal more good. The World has been
making up some statistics and estimates
on this subject, and the figures are well
calculated to startle. In London, with it's
population of three millions, it is estimated
that there are twelve thousand women who
destroy their infants. We have not quite
so many in New York, but the World
thinks we have two thousand who yearly
murder their children. This estimate is
reached by roundabout figuring, with which
you would not like to be troubled, but I
think it is not exaggerated. From October
!, 1866, to October l, 1867, the coroners
held inquests " on one hundred and forty
three infants and fntuses, which had been
cast into the streets, lots, cemeteries,
parks and rivers of the city thrown into
barrels and privies, packed in cigar
boxes, or>>wrapped in old newspapers" or
rags" In 1867 the police picked up one
hundred and seSenty-tive infants that
had been abandoned in the streets, and
four=fifths of these died soon after
Here we have proof of oyer three nun
an infant in the streets is equivalent
to murder) in one year but the vmur-
ders of which no proof can be obtained,
though it is well known that they are CONF
mitted, are as five to one, at least. In all
parts of the city, and notably in the most
ments specially devoted to the murder of
infants, where married women as well as
the unmarried, subject themselves to muir
derous treatment. Some of these estab-
lishments are ust as we'll known as the
churches close by them, but they are per-
mitted to flourish i'll sin, and grow rich on
the money that flows to them from the very
headquarters of fashion.
Says the writer in the World: GA dead
infant, picked up in the street, is hardly
made the object of more inquiry than a
dead cat. Of upwards of a hundred found
covered who destroyed the life, or who
threw away the body" If Paris can beat
this, it must we'll deserve the very bad
name It has for morality.

QUEEN VICTORIA AND LUTHER.-It is
known to our readers that great con-
course of people assembled at Worms,
lately, to witness the unwilling of statue
to the heresiarch. Luther. Queen Victoria
sent sympathetic telegram to the King of
Prussia, on the OCCASION not in her indi-
vidual capacity, but as the representative
of the whole of Great Britain and Ireland.
This has elected sharp comment even from
those within the pale of Her Majesty s
Church. Were not the fact patent, it would
scarcely be credited that such outspolken
language as is contained in the following
paragraph could emanate from an organ of
the " Episcopal Church as by law estab
lshed." Yet, it is even so. The Church
Times of London, in a late number, thus
comments on "Her Most Gracious Majes
tvs" telegram:
Although the Queen cannot find time or
inclination to discharge her duties as the
chief officer of the State, it seems that she
is able and willing to make herself promi-
nent in matters which lie completely out of
the sphere of her obligations. In very
uncallcd- for telegram to the King of Prus-
sia, on the occasion of his unwilling the
Luther monument at Worms, she attempted
to pledge the nation over which she rules to
sympathy with the apostatc and prohigatc.
albeit able and courageous. Augustinian.
In so doing, she needlesSly insuted all her
loyal Anglican subjects, who are pledged
to resist LuthcIaniSm to the uttcrmoSt. all
her Roman Catholic subjects. and, finally
all her Scottish Calvini>t licgcs. the main
-tainers of creed which Luther stoutly
anathemizcd. And. considering that she
holds the title of Z" Defender of the Faith
on no other ground than that an ancestor
and predecessor of hers controvertcd Luz
thcr she ought either to have checked her
Vcn orabdicated the distinctive appellation.

ENGLISH RowDYIsM.-The Dublin Nation
of a late date, in reference to Il scene on
the Great Eastern Railway, says the civil
ization of England is something truly won
derful. 1t quotes from correspondent of
the Times as follows:
"My mother" he says, "was so roughly
handled that it will be sometime before
she RECEIVERS. She was robbed of her purse,
and almost stripped of her clothing. My
wife was nearly strangled i'll her struggle
to retain her watch and chain. Her dress
was torn open from neck to waist, and her
ears lacerated and disfisured by the grasp
made at her earrings. expected their
return by nine at the latest. AT midnight
they arrived, faint, bruised, and bleeding,
robbed, and with valuable clothing wholly
destroyed. An official states that similar
scenes have occurred every Sunday evening
during the summer season for many years
past" However Indifferent to the opinion
of intelligent foreigners Lord Salisbury,
may be, he will scarcely persuade himself
that this is q state of things of which his
company and his country have no reason
to feel. ashamed. Could such things happen
in Servia ?"

PorERY IN ENGLANp.-Dr. Cumming
diversifies the monotony of his phrophetical
fabors by rambling occasionally into re-
gion where he will find persons who are
more disposed to receive his statements
with greater credence than they place in
his predictions about the speedy dissolution
of this "sublunary sphere" Thus, in
speech at Leicester, lately, he said:
Dr.. Manning, Archbishop of Westmn-
ster- had boosted of one thousand converts
in Westbournia, aud of the admission of
eleven clergymen of the Church of England
within the last year into the Church of
Rome. DE-. Manning had also stated that
if the Roman Catholic Church could strike
down England, the whole of Europe would
be at its feet. and he was setting to work
with mastery power and skill to effect this
object. He had sixteen hundred bishops
and priests working England alone; he
had also two hundred and six converts,
forty or fifty monasteries. and thirteen
hundred cathedrals, churches, and chapels.
