FE1DLIM O'CoNoR's ToMB.-In preparing
the foundation for one of the columns to
support the arch about being erected over
the tomb, the workmen came on covered
arch about three feet above the original
floor of the abbey, uuder which, placed as
when laid in the coffin, we're found the
bones of a single skeleton, of large size,
and which, with every appearance of
probability, is assumed to be that of the
chieftain himself. The most remarkable
fact connected with this discovery is that the
skull has, in front, within a couple of inches
of the crown, a hole through which ones lit
tie finger could protrude, and which, if sur
mise be correct, was the death wound
which ended Feidlim's warlike career on
the field of Athenry. As If in mockery of
human greatness, the roots of, probably the
adjoining ivy bad penetrated the recess of
the tomb, and pushed their way through
the sockets of the royal skull. Verify all
things are equal in the grave. Two nails
of an antique pattern were the ouly other
articles discovered i'll the vault.-Roscom-
mon Messenger.

ert."
So Robert told his wife, and soon a
bright fire lighted up the before cherries
room, and there were four happy hearts
that waited in joyful hope for the dawn
of merry Christmas day.
The next week they moved to better
home. They have never since known
what it is to want. Robert found firm
friend in the merchant and has an ac-
count in the savings bank, and has reason
to remember, with grateful heart, Gods
goodness on that Christmas Eve.

The First Glass.

DR.. Patton met fast youth on ship
board who said gaily, care for nothing
but the first glass, but when the first
glass gets down it feels so lonely that
send down a second to keep it company,
when they begin quarreling with each
other, and l send down a third to put
things right, when they turn and ask the
newcomer what he has to do with their
family matters; then goes down fourth
and fifth, and they all enter into base
conspiracy to make me dead drunk"
The way to complete safety is SO plain
that he who never lets the first drop g get
down" will never be drunk. But letting
the first glass down ruins more than one
fifth Of the boys Of the State. To-day |
came across the Connecticut river in a
skiff; now, if it was so perilous to cross
that one, in every five was lost, | never
should have ventured. No one in his
senses would venture. Equally unwise
is it to venture upon the perilous food of
immoderate drinking. Nobody means to
be a drunkard The tippler says, . am
safe" the drunkard repels you with, 81
can drink, or | can let alone" and the
dying inebriate totters to his grave under
the delusion that he can control his appe-
tite.
Young man, venture not on that de-
ceitful tide. Wine is mocker, and who
is deceived thereby is not wise.

A Short and Expensive COurtship.

II MADE the acquaintance of a young
Il lady at party, who was rather good
looking and I, being rather susceptible,
of course fell in love.
I accompanied the young Elady home,
but had very polite invitation from the
lady's father to stay at home But,
nothing daunted, resolved to win Jane
Ann at all hazards. If anything, 1
rather liked old Rs objection, for that
made the thing romantic, you know
The next evening, knowing that Jane
Ann would be at church, | borrowed
a horse and carriage from a friend, and
went there for the purpose of taking Jane
Ann home after church was over
am afraid | did not pay much attcn-
ton to the sermon on that evening and
| thought, at that time, it was the longest
| had ever listened to. But as every
thing earthly has an end, so had that
sermon and I thought it the happest
moment in my life when I assisted Jane
Ann into my carriage.
We, of course, took the longest road to
Mr. B--'s possible; and as it was in
an opposite direction from my horses
home, aud as he had not had his supper,
he did not care much about going; but l
at last got him under way, and then gave
my attention to my companion and COM
menced conversation, which ran some
what in this way:
" Dear jamie isn't this a beautiful
whoa there! Where are you going to p
The last was addressed to the horse,
who had suddenly take notion to turn
around.
"See how beautiful the moon-whoa,
