Hall, at Lvesey, near BLACKBURN, LSncashlEe:
there is a spring called 'Mother Livesey's
Welln concerning which strange narrative IS
related. In the fifteenth century, one dark nIghG,
old Mother Livesey was riding through the nelos
on a white horse. On reaching the spot Where
the we'll is now situated she fell from her horse
and was killed, and Immediately stream OF
water sprang from the ground. The curious
thing about this well is, that the water only
flows during nine months Of the year. and is
quite dry during the other three months (June,
July and August however wet the weather
may be. The water always commences to flow
ON the same date each year, and never freezes
even during the hardest FROST

tendent was telling infant class about the
three angels, who, in the guise of men appeared
to the patriarch Abraham, as he sat in the door
of his tent. AS she dwelt especially upon the hea-
venly shining Of their countenances as indicative
of the heavenly purity of their thoughts and
characters, then up spoke the enfdnt terrible OF
the class and said : "Why your face shines,
too, your forehead shines, and your nose shines;
but my grandma don't let her face shine. She
keeps powder and flannel to rub the shine off,"

and practical application Of the lesson to the
infant minds before her was rendered impossible

execute these small commissions and as it
grows older it will form fixed habit of consider
ing the wants of others. Improvement of the
beautiful Mind and physique are closely
allied. Noble impulses, high aspirations and
unselfish character are indicated by high

You can no more exercise your reason if you
live in constant dread Of laughter than you can
enjoy life if you are in the constant terror of
death. If you think it is right to differ from
the times and to make point OF morals do it;
however rustic, however antiquated, however
pedantic it may appear, doit-not for insolence,
but seriously and grandly, as a man who wears
a soul of his own in his bosom and does not
wait till it is breathed into him by the breath of
