depositors that they will lose nothing.
Such assurances from broken banks are
common, but they generally prove decep-
tive, and do no more good than to let the
poor depositor down easily to the more
positive assurance that he has lost all.
The officers of the City of Glasgow Bank,
in Scotland, threw out the false hope to
their customers that everything would be
paid in full, but a few days dispelled this
illusion, and the Managers and Directors
of that institution were arrested and
imprisoned on the charge of fraud. 1t
may be set down as safe and simple
rule that banks which can pay in full do
not break, but unfortunately the rule is
Intellectual, as the banks which can not
pay in full are not known until they
break.

A NIONKISEn LEGEND.

The monks of a certain monastery wished
to ornament the gate of their church.
One of their number, who was sacristan,
and who understood sculpture, placed on
it q beautiful image of the Virgin. 1t was
very common in those days to have near
the entrance representation of the Last
Judgment. Among those on the left side
was Satan, armed with an iron hook, and
so hideous that no one could look upon him
without horror. The original, offended at
the liberties which had been taken with
his figure, came one day to inquire of the
artist why he had made him so ugly The
sacristan plainly told him it was done from
personal dislike, and for the avowed pur-
pose of making him hateful. This did not
mend matters, and the artist WAS threat
ened with vengeance if he did not change
the figure In the course of the day. Next
morning when the Devil came to look at
the alterations he found the sacristan
mounted on the scaffold, and employed in
adding new horrors to the representation.
"Since you are determined that we shall
he foes," exclaimed the irritated demon,
'let US see how you can leap" AT the
same time he overthrow the scaffolding.
But the sacristan had no sooner called the
Virgin to his succor than her image
stretched out its arms to uphold him, and
after suspending him for some time in the
air, to give the beholders time to admire
this beautiful miracle, she placed him
gently on the ground, to the infinite dis
gust Of Satan. The Argosy.

WE'LL
The song Of the whippoorwill sweetly came
Re-echoing far from his woodland home.
Not ripple disturbed the placid lake,
Not sound the stiffness of nature break:
Save the song he chanted In solemn strain,
"whippoorwiif' over and over again.
Oh, dear enchanter OF the twilight hour,
Thou gave to my dreaming magic power
As ever repeated the plaintive lay
softened by distance far away.
Dear herald of spring, thy notes doth pf,long,
Other than the sound Of thy wonderful song;
The songs of the summer returning again,
The songs Of the blue-bird, the robin, the
wren.
We see the soft nest the same as of yore.
High up in apple tree close by the door,
Where we watch for their coming, or listen tc
hear
The songs from happy hearts merry and clear
We wait the long days with their bright golden
hours,
We breathe the perfume Of the sweet summe5
flowers;
We hear the low hum Of insect and bee
All coming, dear warbler, In token of thee.
Sing on, for bright visions thy warblings un.
fold,
Fairer than dreams of wealth yet untold;
sweeter and purer than thoughts that now
thrill,
Divner in blessing our souls to fulfill.
Oh, grant us still more Of thy wonderful
power,
That cometh alone in the soft twilight hour,
And teach US of spring-tlme immortal, oi
high,
Where bright hopes never fade, end lovea
never die.

LEWIS CHASE, who lived among the
sannibals of the Marquesas Islands for
twenty-five years, says those savage cpl
cures are by no means easily suited either
in their meats or the cooking. A fat
missionary who has never INDUCED in
tobacco Or liquors is considered choice
morsel, and this, when baked or steamed
ander Goals covered with earth, in much
:he same manner as beans are baked
down East, calls for loudest praises from
'he brutal banqueters.

THEY have pleasant way in the mis-
Sionary schools on the Sandwich Islands,
Df naming some of the pupils after the
church which supports them. Thus it is
not unusual to hear a teacher calling
upon Broadway Tabernacle to recite, or
nstructing the Fourth Presbyterian in
its primer, or reprimanding Wesley
Chapel for sticking pins in the back of
st. Paul. 1t is not unusual for Trinity
and the First Universalist to fight over
their marbles and punch each other un-
mercifully, while the Second Baptist
stands by and cheers them on. 1t is a
happy fashion, and one which the Island
BIS seem to enjoy.

JAMES IlOGG, THE ETTRICK

duced to him by Jordan. He shook me
heartily-I should rather say painfully, for
his grip was like wise by the hand, well
coming me with great fervor and saying
was an old acquaintance, for he had read
my books He had particularly merry
eye, light blue one, if my candle-light
recollection of it is correct. He drank no
wine, but made up for the short coming by
liberations of whisky toddy. Sang, or
rather joined in chorus, with consider
ably more power than melody; for al
though his voice, in ordinary conversation
was singularly sweet and musical, and

ing his stay at Cochrones', the publishers,
in Waterloo-place and spent an hour with
him. met Mrs. Cochrane on the stairs,
on my way to the drawing-room, and re-
marked to him on the beauty and grace of
his hostess. "Ou, ay," said the Shepherd
''she is a douce, lady lik, and bonnie crea-
ture, but dinna ken hoo it is, but she does
not keep her maids for three days; she has
changed them five times since I have been
here" He complained of the badness Of
the times, and of the scant harvest he had
reaped in the field of literature. He told
me, what he afterward repeated in his
autobiography, that some one had inter-
fered and dissuaded Byron from contribut-
ing poem to the Mirror Of Poetrg for
which he said the noble poet had expressly
written it; and he added, what he did not
state in the autobiography, that Moore
was the person who had so interposed.
He complained of Btackwoods Magazine
for publishing in the ''Noctes Ambrosiane'
as his, sentiments which he utterly repudi-
ated, adding that he had frequently re-
monstrated with John Wilson christopher
North, on the subject; that the latter had
promised to refrain in future, and sinned
again in the very next number. Jordan
told me that he was once walking with
Hogg and Wordsworth on Rodal Mount,
when the Shepherd remarked on the COIN
cdence of there being two poets in the
company. "Where are they?" said Woods
worth. An intimate friend of mine told
me of dinner at John Murray's (the
elder,) when Sir David Brewster gave
some account relating to the prismatic
coors of mother-of-pearl. "Mither of
parll" said Hogg. Murray, what's
mither of parl3" ooh, l don't know, y

The men connected with the Signal
Service Observatories on Pixies Peak and
Mount Washington are almost as much
isolated from the rest of the world for
several Of the winter months as if they
were hemmed in by the icebergs of the
Arctic Seas. Prescribed during this SOL
tary period to the narrow limits of the
signal stations tie time grows very heavy
on their hands, and reading matter is
eagerly sought for. To supply their
wants in this respect Captain Howgate
suggests that many of the worn and
secondhand books which lie unread
about households throughout the country
would prove very acceptable, and dona-
tions of such nature will be received
with gratitude by Captain Howgate in

The mountains are full of yellow jackets
this summer. They sting the horses and
cattle till the poor animals become furious
ly desperate. They gather about person
in the woods, as would a swarm of mosqui-
toes. If you let them crawl over you and
bite pieces of flesh out of your hands and
neck without attempting to brush them off
they will not sting you. The average hui
man being, however, feels irresistibly in
clined to brush them off, and so gets un-
mercifully stung. Trout fishing has some
days been uncomfortable, because myriad
of yellow jackets would cluster around the
fisherman, and for ey cry nibbe received from
the trout they would give him dozen
bites. Woodmen or railroad men who
have happened upon nests have been stung
so badly that in instances they were un-
able to work for day or two The butch
ers are compelled to fee these wasps with
refuse meat in certain portion of the shop,
in order to keep them from covering the
cutting blocks. There are hundreds and
thousands and millions of them every
where in the mountains around Truckee.
They effectually kill off the flies 1t is
rare sport to watch their maneuvers when
catching flies They swoop down upon
their victim as hawk does upon its prey.
Their aim is generally unerring, and the
fly is carried off to the yellow jackets nest.
1t is said to be an old and true saying
among backwoodsmen that the more yellow
Jackets there are the harder will be the

will be about five thousand times more Sc
