Talk IN Cumberland.

"Esvhims'' is TIE local name in
Cumberland for furze and appears
to be the Gaelic word quins, sharp
points. "Hcaf" is q very peculiar
word derived from the old Morse
haef, a share) and is applied to the
part of q fellside common allotted
to a particular flock of sheep. Each
flock keeps to its own "heaf. Some
very quaint expressions are bride
lof," wedding cake; seeing
glass;" a mirror; "clout hat, a
woman's sunbonnet; Kidding out
keam," a hair comb; fireworks,
q magic lantern display; "moley
man, a mole catcher; leg weary"
tired; "leg up" to trip up; "sneck
up" to wind Qitorally to latch up)
a clock.
The verbs "feol," in the sense of
to smell, and lame" in the sense
of to injure any part of the body, are
peculiar. We may add pipe stop
ple," tho stem of a tobacco pipe;
Outlook" footstool; tinker
folk" the gypsies; 'last dress, a
shroud which children are taught to
work at school and afterward to pre-
sent to their grandparents and other
aged relatives--a kindly act, but one
which betrays that lack of humor
and sense of the ludicrous which is
characteristic of northern folk. A
Cumbrian who goes to have his pho
tograph taken announces that he
has come to be "struck. Gentle

Neal Dow. Trip on the Erie Canal.

One of the great events of Gen.
eral Neal Dow's younger days was q
four of the Erie canal, made when
he was 81 years old. II met on this
trip says General Dow, "a Swiss
gentleman of rank and fortune, but
a few years older than myself, and
travelled with him for some time.
We became fast friends, and a cor
respondence between us was kept up
for years. After awhile, however,
this dropped, and l heard nothing
of him until 1857, some 80 years aft
er. when I was in Europe, and I tried
to hunt him up. I had no difficulty
in finding the family, but my friend
had been dead for two or three
years. Judge of my surprise when
/ learned that the cause of his death
was attributed to the fact that he
had joined the teetotalers, and alb
stinence from liquor had killed him.
The funny part of this was that his
cousin, who told me about his death,
did not know anything as to my
views and gave me that information
as solid fact" But the general
stands it pretty well, eh?-Lewiston

An Irish Rabelais.

As travelled once in the county
of Kerry, in Ireland, with the White
Knight and the Knight of tho Glin,
we called at Terelah O'Crohane's,
an old Irish gentleman, our common
friend, who kept up tho hospitality
of his ancestors, and showed how
they lived when Cormac MacGuil-
lenan the Generous was king of
Munster and archbishop of Cashel,
in 913. There was no end of eating
and drinking there, and the famous
Dorne Falvey played on the harp.
For day and night we sat to it
by candlelight without shirts or
clothes on. naked except that we
had our breeches and shoes and
stockings on, and drank so much
burgundy in that time that the sweat
ran of q red color down my body,
and my senses were so disordered
that when we agreed to ride out for
a couple of hours to take little air
/ leaped my horse into dreadful
quarry, and in the descent was
thrown into large deep water that
was in part of the frightful bot

The SaDae of Color

According to Professor Hugo Mag
nus of Breslau, the visual capacity
of sense of color varies not only
with the individual, but with the
civilization of people At first the
human retina is insensible to colors,
and only gray, more or less clear,
is visible. Later on red and yellow
are seen, these corresponding to
light of the greatest wave length.
Thus neither the ancient hymns of
the Vedas, nor the Zend-Avesta, nor
the Old Testamentspeak of the blue
sky. Homer Gas Mr.. Gladstone re-
marks) and Ezekiel do notappear to
have been sensible of all the tints of
the rainbow. Zenophanes describes
them as purple, red and greenish
yellow. Aristotle adds the blue. In
Hebrew and Assyrian the colors yell
low and green and in Arabic blue
and black are often COMPOUNDED.
