How 10 Get a Well Dug.

An Irishman took contract to
dig public well. When he had
dug about twenty feet down, he
came one morning and found IL
caved in-nearly filled to the top.
Pat looked cautiously around. and
saw that nobody was near; then
took off his hat and coat aud hung
them on the windlass, crawled into
some bushes aud waited events. In
IA short time the citizens discovered
that we'll had cayed In, ana seeing
Pats hat and coat OH the windIass,
they supposed he was at the bottom
OF the excavation. Only few
hours of brisk digging cleared the
loose earth from the well, and jnst AS
the eager citizefs had reached the
bottom, and were pondering where
the body was, Pat came out or the
bushes and good naturedIy thanked
them for relieving him OF a sorry
job. Some Of the tired diggers were
disgustcd ; but the joke was too good
TO allow anything more than a hearty
laugh that suon followed.

From the Columbus (Ohinl Journal.
We have recently learned from q
gentleman who long sustained con /.
| tldential relations with Mr.. Lincoln,
many Interesting facts concerning
the inner life of that remarkable
man. An incident or two will here
suffice. IL appears that on the day
that Mr.. Bincaln went up to Gettys.
burg To take part in the anniversary
exercises on the great battle, tieli OF
the war, he was suffering constant
ana Intense anxiety of mind on nc
count of the condition of his flvoF~
ite son Tad whom lie had left
sick ut home. His thOughis fre.
quenily recurred To his much loved
boy and he seemed sad and depressed
and complained of feeling unwell
Under these circumstances, in n lit
tie country hotel, i'm view of the bat-
tie field, MIR. Lincoln wrote the
greater part of the immortal oration
which has been read and admired
wherever the English lauguace Is
read or spoken. The first part OF the
Grafton, which had been prepared
before leaving Washington, was
written with pen ana aAk, bat the
composed after his e-Sival at Gettys-
burg was with the short stub OF a
pencil, on struggling sheets Of pnper
OF unequaled breadth and length. -
The original rough draft with all its
interlineations and erasures Is now
in the possession of the Private Sec.
retary to the late President. Ii was
with this mixed and miscellaneous
manuscript in his hanG that Mr..
Lireoln stood upon the battle. field
and in n clear, loud voice delivered
those great thoughts which thrilled
them, and will thrill always the hu.
man heart to it's profoundest depths,
and will live and breathe through
the centuries before us. Mr.. Lincoln
was disappointed in Mr.. Everett's
machine oratory, aud complained
that it reached every bOdy's ears aud
nobody's heart, but was not aware
that he himself had said anything
that men would not willingly let die.
