Tie circus hands were immediately on tho spot, and various unsuccessful attempt were made to get Gypsy out. At last Mr. June bethought him of the na'.uial amae'ity of the animal, and ordered a number ot bale of hay to be brought, One by one thme were rolled into th cavity, and as these eauio down Gypsy placed her fore feel upon il and wailed patiently for the next, taking caro to place it in position before she attempted ti itirlher ascent.

I Butler ii 1'ollrge. In a recent interview Don Butler thus related one ot his college experi ences: "Another ol our pranks at oollege was tho breakit'g up ol an abolition meeting. The English philanthropist who died the other' day, Gcorgo Thompson, was" to speak in tht col lege low'n. The students shared the common feeling against tho good iiihii. We thought he was abusinr Amci icans, and our patriotic prido re belled at this. We did not want t get into a set ape; so, after debating li e matter several night we hit upon llio following plan. We went into the country and paid an old farmer SO cent to allow us to catch In his barn all the swallows we wanted. We got a dozen or so, ami the night ot the meeting a number, of us were present, distributed judiciously about the room, each boy with a swallow in hi pocket. Tlie church waa lighted by old lasliioned chandeliers. holdinr each three or tour whole oil lamps. At o given signal, when the exercise! were well under way, tho swallow! wtre let loose, and in the twinkline of an eyo out went tho light. Tl:t birds, of course, went st might for th lights, and the rush of air caused by , their wings put the lumps out. We kissed a gulortwo, and they, of course, shrieked. All was comnx). lion Mid confusion for a few minutes.'- Thin llio moderator demanded si- . lence; said that some unaccountable accident had put tho lights out, but the audience must tit quiet and pre ' serve order, and the lamp would soou bo lighted. V , . .; '1 he sexton hurried - away for toich there were no lucier matches in those days and presently he came back wild a lighted candle. As he came into church, holding it in front of his face tuid shielding it wilh ono band, tlie swallows, of counc, went tor the light, and ono ot them struck the cundle, knocking' it out ol the old man' hand and into his face. II tumbled back, gave a yell of fright, and gathering himself up took to his heels, vowing there were spirits there, sure. The crowd, now frightened in earnest, the students leading, got out ol church in a hurry, and tho aboli tion meeting was at nn euds" The Devil's Fruit. Total oe were first introduced at Moscow by a Mr, Kowlund, eighty or ninety year ago, At first the people would r.eiihcr plant nor touch them, saying they wtre tho devil's fruit, given to him on his complaining t God that hu had ne Iruit, wh u he wns told to search in the earth for some w hich Im did, and found pota ' toes, A curious Berwickshire legend which, however, is palpably anach ronic, attributes the introduction of potatoes into Scotland to that famous wjard of the North, Sir Michael Scoit. The wizard ami tho devil, being in partnership, took a lease of the farm on iheMartnuu estate, called Whitehouse. The . wiaard was to nianago tho farm, tho devil managed tho capital, . The produce was to be divided as lollows: the hrst year Sir .Michael was to have all that grew above tho ground, and his partuer all that grew below; the second year the shares were to bu I he opposi'.e way. His Satanic .Majesty, a i usual in such cases, was fairly overri ached in hi bargain, lor the wizard cunningly sowed all the land in the first year with wheat, und planted il with pota toes the second, so that the devil got nothing for hi share but w heal stub hie and potato lops. And thi courting rotation Sir Michael eon tinned until he had notcnly beggared hi partner, but exhausted the soil.
