Com] WOODVILLE, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1879. 106 Below we publish, by request, a Gaelic long and the Englinh tranllntion which will be read with pleuure by n greet number of our readers :â€" Why it looked up.â€" Old Phineas Rice was one of the quaint types of itinerant Method- ist preachers. He had a hard patch to col- tivate once, and when he made his report to the Conference following he reported the church ‘ looking np.’ The Bishop presiding expressed his pleasure, but asked for an ex- planation, because no one expected success in that parish. Dr. Rice was equal to the occasion, and added : ‘ Well, Bishop, the church is on its back, and can’t look any other way.’ There was a roar of laughter all over the Conference. About this time doth the scion of the ag- ricultuml household stumble upon the an- cient nest of the industrious fowl. And lo. he discovered therein foursvore and six goodly eggs, of which many are worn smooth as the pebble of the brook by the fee‘ -.-' the industrious hen. And the scion of the Agriâ€" cultural household I ollspsed one of the good- ly eggs, and behold u mighty perfume aris- eth, and he said within his bremt: Verily these eggs lue passing elderly. and I will gather them up and hie me unto the city. and shall make exchange with the dealers and shopkeepem, and will return laden with spices and the ten of the ungodly. and the sweetness of the csne. And forthwith he hieth. And it comes to pass that the un- sofistimted devourer of the fruit of the Cochin China, the berry of the Bromine, and the ovum of the mongrel fowl, betaketh him- self unto the shopkeeper snd uketh and saith ‘ be these fresh 2‘ And the shopkeeper replieth sud saith, ‘ Verily , they Were brought in this day.’ And the doxourer in- vesteth. end betsketh himself home. And he mnketh ready to sup, and he cleaveth the boiled hen fruit with s sharpened blade. And 10 there ariseth perfume, and incense, and evil words. and hasty ejseulations which filleth the house in with s cloud. Many eggs are bought but few are eaten. MOLADH NA LANDAIDH.

Just as the last rays of the setting sun were gilding the church epiree and white- washing the back kitchens of Detroit the other afternoon. a men and a barrel were discovered at a stairway on Munroe avenue. He was a. small man and it was a big barrel, and pedestrians who saw 'him looking up at the stairs and back at the barrel inferred that it was his intentions to elevate it to the third story. But how 2 ‘ I ’d rig 'a tackle and pulley in that third story window,’ said the first man who halt- ed. ‘ That’s your easiest way, and there’s no danger of mzcident.’ He leaned against the lamp-post and cal- culated on the length of rope and the lift- ing power required, and along came a second man who took the situation in at a glance, and said : ‘ Go and get some scantling fourteen feet long and lay’em on the stairs. Then two men can roll that brrrel up there as flick as The little man looked around in a helpless sort of way. and a third man came bluster- ing up and calle 1 out : Want to get that barrel up :tairs, eh 2 ' Well. now, fasten your pulley at the head of the stairs and ten men down here can make the barrel up in no time. Where’s your tackle 2’ By this time the crowd had increased to twenty, and was pretty evenly divided he- tween 3 dead lift through one of the win- dows and a pulley at the head of the stairs. but the man who suggested the skids had a. very loud Voice and was determined to carry his point. Taking off his coat, he said : ‘ I know what I’m talking about, and I say that I can skid that barrel up therealone- You just wait a'miuute.’ He crossed the street to an unfiniohed building and returned with a couple of 2x4 scaixiling and 1 .id them 'on the stairs and tho crowd now numbered fifty. ‘ You want this barrel on the third floor do you 2' he naked of the little man. . ‘ Yesâ€"l-ut-obut- ' ‘ But what 2' ‘ Why, I was waiting for my wife to get the clothes-horse out of the upper hall. She's all ready now, and I'll take it up.’ And the little man shouldered the barrel and trotted hriekly up stairs betwaen the uLids. It was empty 1 The Bangor Commercial gives an interest- ing account of the wonderful precosity of a son of Col. Fuller, ex-Postmaster oijangor. His intellect is perfectly wonderful, and almost goes beyond belief. l‘he first that his friends noticed of his pro: ocity was about a year ago, when they aceidently discovered that he was almost infallablc on any date he had ever seen or heard. Whiie out “feet with his parents, they were walking in a cemetery one day, and he would look at a tombstone, read the date of death and age of the person buried there, and in an instant look up and tell the day of the Week on which the (lead person was born. Almanacs ‘ of that date were looked up and it was dis- covered that the boy was correct. Sims that time he has been severely tested, and has never failed to tell the day of the week on which any date within the last seventy- five years fell. It must be remembered that while he answered, there was no book or any article near him from which he could get any aid. He never forgets a date once fixed in his memory. He remembers when every President of the United States was born, how long he sched, and when he (lied. A more remarkable thing is, he recollect! everything he does, the day he did it,where he was, and the circumstances that led him to do it. In mathematics he is equal to any boy tn ice his age, can add, subtract, mul- ‘ tiply, and divide the most difficult fractions 1 in his head, and he has never been taught ’ anything except to read. lle learned the whole of the multiplication table in one night. He is equally well posted on the Bible, can repeat the name of every book in both the Old and the New Testaments, tell ’ how many chapters raeh contains, how many verses in each chapter, and without hesita. tion name the page on which any hymn in Watt’s or Moody and Shelley’s hymn hooks can he found. Not long ago he greatly am. used some of his friends by correcting an al- manac. A lady wished to try him on the davs of the week on which certain dates many years ago, fell. She gave a date and asked him on what day it fell. He prompt- ly informed her. She looked at the almanac for that year, month. and day. Alas for Charlie lthought she, as his answer did not agree with. the almanac. Charlie wouldn't A \VONDERFUL BOY. THAT BARREL.
