high and jump from that. This he did
with dexterity. The crowd cheered fu-
riously, and became so much the more
anxious to see him make the leap from
the bridge.

in reply, word was received that he
could do so under protest and at his
own peril. CT, thed in black pants and
white vest, tight-ftting scull cap and
in his stocking feet, he walked out to the
middle of the bridge as cool as most men
under ordinary circumstances.
The immense gathering of people, so
far beneath that they looked like pyg-
mics, was moved by intense feeling, and
became hushed and silent. One, two
three, and the daring diver, springing
head foremost, dashed one hundred and
twenty feet down into the water below
For few seconds he was underneath
the water; but as soon as he appeared
above the surface, swimming Justify, a
tremendous cheer went up from both
banks of the river, and tine canoe that
padded him ashore was met by hun
dreds of excited people, and Boyd's car
was filled to overiowing with silver.
He is the same man that jumped of
the Ohio Falls bridge; but this is at Least
thirty feet higher, and is decidedly the
highest jump and the most daring feat OF
the kind ever performed in America.

Interesting. Indeed:i it would seem as
if the.great, need of the church, is not
so much the effort from the pulpit,
which it always has, as'the earnest
work of her laymen.; because the lat

life, come in daily contact with those
who are never reached by the sermons
which they hear weekly or monthly.
Therefore, their opportunities of ac-
complishing good seem greater, and
such often wield more influence by
their example without precept than
the individuals who are regarded as
set apart for This work, and who are
always expected to be good.
