It was neccesary to have re- course to a rope, that one of us might be lowered down from the brow of the cliff; also a puley, in the form which sailors 'call af "plook;" was" required ; for one of us would 'of course have been un~ able tohall up the otber with the single rope only ; but the doubling of the rope by means of the block would diminish the weight and pressure by one half, and bring the tgsk well within our strength. Ac- cordingly we obtained a coil of about forty fathoms of rope, such as is commonly used for the sheet of a sail of a small boat; also a small block and a strong oak stake. The brow of the cliff was asmooth grassy sward, the turf being hard and te all appearance, tough. We secured one end of the rope to the stake, which we drove firmly in the ground right above the ravine' nest. My brother was to make the decent; I was to stand by the rope and man- age lowering and hauling up. A small piece of wood tosit en having been attached to a loop of rope and secured to the lowor end of the block all was ready for action, and the decent commenced. Slowly I paid out rope. I could not see over the cliff, but was quite within easy ear- shot, and every secone or two the shout came up : "Lower away, lower away ;" at last it was; Hold hardy" and ina little while : "All right. Haul up now." I knew that the prize was won, and began to pull away lustily and cheery ; but when I had recovered not more than three or four yards, to my horror and dismay, I noticed the treacherous seil yielding to the strain, and the stake being drawn. I had barely time to catch the stake- end ofthe rope. Another moment and the stake would have been wrenched out of the earth and drag- ed right over and---- Woll, I dare- say I should have held on; I am sure I should; but that would have been of no avail. My poor brother must have fallen down, down till the block caught the stake with a jerk; which would bave fetched me over too, if I had kept my hold; and down those Christie, who died at Utica, 27th June, 1881 Farewell dear father and mother, Brothers and sisters all My time is come, I must now go, For tis my Saviour's call.

' In the far north, long ago, when I was a boy, my brother and I used to be expert cragsmen--if may use the term. Few things gave us more pleasure than to scale all the steep precipices, of which there was no lack in our neighborhood. These precipices ranged from one hundred to four hundred feet in height. We were never troubled with giddiness, and boylike in such a pastime, did not know what fear meant. I dare say if there had been nothing what- ever to procure. the "danger's self' would have been "lure alone." Dangerous it certainly was, and many a narrow escape we had. I shudder now at the thought of the laces in which we ventured. 1 have often since these faraway days looked at some of these places, and wondered at our foolhardinesss, and I would not for any consideration both have been dashed to inevitable destruction, As it was, the situa- tion was dreadful enough for us both. For some time at least, I could hold on, but that was all, 1t beyond my strength now to haul in one yard of rope. « Haul away, can't you! shouted my brother, little thinking what a frightful thing had happened. 1 paused a moment before answer- ing. I was afraid, when he knew the truth, that he might faint or lose his presence of mind at the ap- paling situation in which he was placed, I did him an injustice. A braver, fooler spirit never beat in breast of man or boy. "Don't be alarmed," I cried; "the stake is loosening & little." That is how I on my bh device. Don't jerk. Give the rope a twist around your legs and slip down slowly-" It was not without danger | itomeys Lav, pbell will attend Cart~ now attempt to repeat some of our escapades. But to add zest to the thing, there were multiudes of birds' nests in those 'precipices--bawks, gulls, kittwinks, guillemots, puffins, cormorants, and many others. We made a fine collection of eggs; and any wo might obtain beyond our own requirments, we could always exchango with friends or dealers for others not proeurable in our part of the country. Moreover, many of the commonest kind of eggs, as those of all the gulls and guillemots, were excellent eating when fresh and boiled hard. One of our adventures very nearly proved tragic. We had often tried--but had al- ways failed--Tt0 obtain any ravens' eggs for our collection, We wore anxious to procure specimens, and determinod that somehow or other we should. Now, be it known to those who 'are not acquainted with the character and habits of the"birds of ill omen," that he is one of the most sagacions and cunning of the feathered tribe. He builds his nest high up in the most inaccessible cliffs 60 that it is almost always imposs~ ible to reach it except with the help of arope; and even with such assist- ance, it is no essy task, We knew of & reven's nestabout fifty feet from the top of a very steep and bare pre- cipice of four hundred feet which there was no possibility of scaling in the uenal way. Above the neat, the cliff was partly overhanging; and beneath and on both sides, | except the spot chosen for the nest on a solitary shelf, it was smooth and stesp as a wall. For many years the same pair of revins, safe and un- mofested, hadjoccupied this spot snd reared their broods; but with the pertinacions ardour of boyhood, we 'were resolved they: should nolonger put it, to lessen the shock to his nerves. "Keep still a moment," 1 added, "till T see what ¢an be done." But in truth I could not think what was to be done. I could do ng more than keep my place and my hold. « Has the stake entirely slipped its hold 1" ho eried. «1 fear so--yes," I replied. "But don't bo afraid; I can easily hold you as you are till we think what can be done." Heo knew the worst then ; we both knew too well the peril of the situa. tion. Had he been only a few foet from the brow of the precipice, he might have got up by the rope hand over hand, for he was light, wiry and active, and his muscles were strengthened and toughened by constant exercise, gymnastics, rowing, cricket and the like. But nearly fifty feet ! It was out of the question--it was impossible; and we both knew it. More over, we had no hope of help coming. There was not the slightest chance of any one passing that way ; for the cliff was far away from human habita- tion, an isolated headland at the ex- tremity of a peninsula, where a fow more than balf-wild sheop grazed ; a place, therefore, which no one had occasion to visit except the owner of the said sheep, two or three times ayear. Of all 'this we were per- fectly aware. « What's to be done?' st last I cried. "But at anyrate don't get shaky." Firm and eloar came up the re- 1 sban't and 1 know you won't Wo shall do yel, never \binkiog of a plan." | if you bold bard by ply: "Shaky! old fellow. No, that either, I know you won't let go.--| fear. Iam And then, after a moment's pause : "| bave it. slide down till I roach som footing. Wait till I shout that I am all ready and then kick the rope out as far as you can, that it may not couie down You undorstand ?"' « All right," 1 shouted back, in~ stantly comprehending, and immen- sely admiring the ready wit of the "Be careful in moving.-- that this could be done, and e thing depended upon steadiness and nerve. Haste and flurry would in all propability have been fatal. He had to disengitge himself from the loop in which he was sitting, pull bimself up a tew feet, and get firm hold of the rope with hands and feet above the block ; and to accomplish this, hanging as he was in mid air, was no easy task, as the reader will readily understand, In a fow sec- onds, I knew by the strain on the stake-end of the rope that be was transferring his weight to it alone. "Now then," he cried; pitch away; I'm ready." There was no tension now on the longer end of the rope. With both bands, therefore, I grasped firmly the stake, and kicked the coll as far as] was able. "All right!" my brother shouted. "Hold hard now, and 1'll elide down slowly." We knew the rope was not long enough to reach all the way down to the rocks and boulders where the sea lay grumbling; butwe had good hope that a hundred feet or so down he would find good footing. In a little more than a minute I felt the tension suddenly cease, and grew deadly faint from the terrible fear that he had lost his hold. The next instant, tomy inexpressible joy, I heard his far off shout: "Right now, old fellow. I've got good footing, and will be up directly ; it's all plain sailing now." I ran along the brow of the cliff, to a point from which I could 'see him. I seemed scarcely able to re alize that he was safe till I actually did see him. He was nearly half way down ; and we waved mutual congratulations to one another.-- After a few minute's rest, he passed terrible hundreds of feet, we should |along laterally for some distance, |. and then ascended by an easy part of the precipice which we bad often before traversed. At last he set foot on the green turf where I was anxi- ously awaiting him. Each looked at the other's flushed and steaming face,and I am bound to acknowledge that though we tried -very hard, we ignominiously failed to repress a little blubber. --_------------ A young'lady was onco terribly shocked by ber own foolish mastake. Being sent for some flour to the store in a hurry, she took what she supposed to be a clean pillow slip from the bureau drawer. When she bounded into the store, smiling like a basket of chips, she banded the thing to be filled with flour. The store keeper didn't notice what they were till a scoop full of flour had gone through them. When he rais- ed them up and displayed the two outlets at the bottom, nicely fringed, the young lady quickly "lit out" without saying a word, and the store- keeper, covered with flour, laid the garment in the money-drawer to await ber return, which bas not " gventuated " up to the present time. * How to Train the Memory ing of trashy novels, Chemiet wad Druggist, Bigelow' Block sao Port Perry, June 3, 1881. J : ! iho stake end a find that their eyric, Was impreg: | the: rope, and lip the other over, 1 Your memory is bad perhaps, but there are two ways of curing the worst memory. Oneof them is to read a subject when interested ; the other is to not only read, but think. When you have read a para- graph or a page, stop, close the book and try to remember the ideas of the page, and not only call them vaguely to mind, but put them in words and speak them out. Faithfully follow those two rules, and you have the golden keys of knowledge. Besides inattentive reading, there are other things injurious to the memory. One is the habit of skimming over newspapers, items of news, smart re- marks, bits of information, political reflections, fashion notes, no that all is a confused jumble, never to be thought of again, thus diligently cultivating a habit of carless reading bard to break.

The corres- pondent was skeptical. After think: ing a moment, he commenced piano playing on the back of the seat in nt of him with all the grace of a professional. "What am I playing now ?" he asked eagerly, and with an air of triumph, {You are play. ing the fool." replied the judge. A Bad Squaw.
