The Old Bridge of Diarmid.
Diarmid is a narrow wooded village hills. walled in

Overhead among the beams and rafters,
was Thoff Skelton's retreat; hia den,
the boys ealled it. Here he had laid
down a few boards, making a rough sort
of floor, tossed up a pile of straw for a
bed, and here be came when things were
more than commonly uncomfortable at
home.
Diarmid was a tidy village of white
houses, and green blinds, and trim
yards; bnt down at the foot of West
street, under a sand-bank, ttere was a
wretched building going torain in the
midst of a litter ol rnbbish. It looked
as had though been aU the uuri of the oioau street
swept ont th.-re and left for
the winds to blow away, Bnt the winds
had failed thus far to do it, and so the
Skeltons lived there.
Jim Skelton, fattei of Thoff, had a pe¬
culiarity tions whioh interfered with his rela¬
drinking as a great parent; deal to wit, the habit of
a too much of every
thing bnt oold water.- The consequence
was that ThotTs life had begun to be a
burden to him as soon as he eonld re
