Sam Patch?His Remarkable Leap.
?Who has not heard of Sam Patch, his famous
leap, and his tragic death ? Mwiy. persons
imagine? that he was killed at Niagara.
It was at Genessee Falls, however, near Rochester,
New York. Some person has been
interviewing the oldest inhabitants of that
flourishing city, who saw the last leap nearly
forty years ago. A staging had been erect
ed a hundred feet above the boiling cauldron
below. Amid the death-like stillness of
thousands of eager spectators, the adventu?
fafyR mn a few steps and gave one
JVUO A UWW mmmmm _ _
leap into the air and fell cutting the mist
like a lead sniker, two hundred feet iqto the
seething whirlpool. Ah he left the staging
his body assumed an oblique position, his
head foremost, but above his feet. As he
struck the water there was a dreadful silence,
while the populace awaited with choking
breath his reappearance. One minute?two
minutes?three minutes?and no signs of the
daring jumper. Then the people set up ?
loud wail?a long murmur of sorrow.
This was the end of Sam Patch.
They say that he had been drinking during
the morning, and failed to keep his feet
together and hi? body perpendicular, as on
previous occasions. So when he struck the
water the breath left his body, and he was
knocked senseless A month or so afterward
they found his body away down below Rochester,
drifted upon the rocks.

This Httlo girl felt that to be happy, she
must be unselfish. She was right, And you
know it. Did ycu ever feel happy when
you had selfish feelings in your breast ?
A yankee fanner who wished to invest the
accumulation of his industry in United States
securities went into a broker's office to obtain
some "five twenties " The clerk inauired,
"what denomination will you have
sir ?" Having never heard that word
excepting to distinguish the sects, the farmer,
after a little hesitation, replied : "Well,
you may give part in Old School Presbyterian
to please the old lady; but give me the
heft on't in Free-Will Baptist." *
