The Mrth or Or?e? Erta, Um
? eta of the Say."
at ins. Horrrci., suion.
Wed nM ooodesolnshin,
I'd turn jeee attinshin,
To what I would menshin * Erin go green;
And withoot hiaitayshln,
I'd show how thnt nayshin,
Beeame ?r er?*shin the gim. an' the queen.
It happened wan morn in'
Widhout any warnin',
That vaynus was born in the beautiful say 1
An' bo that same token,
(An' sure 'twas proTokin'},
lfer pinions were soakin',an' wouldn't give play
So Niptune, who knew lier,
Began to pursue her,
h ordher to woo her, the wioked ould Jew 1
An' he vory nigh oaught her,
Atep of the wether,
Great Jup iter' daughter, who cried Poo-to-loo.
But Jove, the great laynious,
Looked down and saw Vaynus,
An' Niptuuo eo haynious, purshuin' her wild.
So he roared oat in thundher,
He'd tear him aahundher,
An' sure 'twas no wundhur, for tadn' his child.
So a sthar that wor flyin'
Around him aspyin',
Be sated widout sighin' an' hurled it below,
Where it tumbled like winkin,
On Niptune, while sinkin'
An' gave him, I'm thinkin', a broth av a blow !
An' that aflher was dry land,
Both low and and high land.
And formed a swale island, the land iv me birth.
Thus plain is the sthory,
As sint down from glory,
That Erin so ho&ry's a heaven on earth.
Thin vaynus jumped natcly
On Erin so sthately?
But fhyntod.bein' lately so bothered an' prissod
Which much did bewilder,
But before it quite killed her
Her father distilled her a dhrop av the bisht.
An' that glass so victorious,
It made her feel glorious,
A trifle uproarious, I fear I might prove ;
oinoo how can yees blame us,
That Erin's so famous,
For boauty, an' murther, and whiskey an' luv!
"WIT AND HUMOR.
The man who was struck with an idea,
has prosecuted it for assault and battery.
A woman is sometimes struck with a
man beforo marriage, and by him afterwards.
Why is a foolish young la y a careful
housewife? Bocauso her <( waist" is as
little as she can make it.
The smallest shred of the Pope's shirt,
if boiled in milk or soap, is said to bo an
effectual remedy for tho cholera and other
diseases of a similar description.
There is a man in India so thin that,
when the sheriff is after him, he crawls
into his rifle and looks through tho touchhole.
Upper-Class Examinations.?Qucs.
Give an example of the degrees of comparison.
A. Positive, Teach. Comparative, Teacher.
Superlative, Tea chest.?[Punch.
A celebrated wit was asked why he did
not marry a young lady, to whom he was
much attached ? " I know not," he replied,
"exocpt tho great regard we have for each
other.
A citizen down east was dubbed " the
little rasoal I" A friend onoo volunteered
to ask him srhy ho was called " the little
__?.1 !?? tt nn_ j:..: i_t. r
>?ovBi * - xv viutu uguusu iuc iruui my
neighbors/' Baid he, " who are all great
rascals!"
A confirmed tipplor was bothored how
to honor his birthday. A brilliant idea
struck him. He kept sober.
It is said that tho hair, if rolled up in
tho Mew York Tribune, puts on it at ouce
a Tory crinkly curl; and if one of Steven's
speeches bo used, it assumes a crisp in
etantor.
Tho saying that "there is more pleasure
in giving than receiving," is supposed to
apply chiefly to kicks, mcdicino, and advioe.
"Is your horso perfectly gentle, Mr
Dabster?"
" Perfectly gentle, sir; the only fault
ho has got, if that bo a fault, b a playful
habit of extending hb hinder hoofs now
and then."
"By extonding his hinder hooft you do
not mean kioking, I hope ?"
" Some people call it kicking, Mr. Orecn,
but it's only a slight reaction of tho museles;
a disease rather than a vico."
A man who advertised to give "tho be jt
of sound, practical advice for fifty cento,
that would bo applicable at any time and to
all persons and conditions of life," on application
by a victim, "per mail," sont tho
following: "Never give a boy a dime to
watoh your shadow while you climb a tree
to look into the middlo of next week. It
don't pay."
A good naturcd fellow who was nearly
eaten out of house and homo by the eon
slant visits of his frionds, was one day complaining
bitterly of his numerous visitors.
" Suro an' I'll tell yo how to got rid of
them," said an Irishman.
" Pray how ?"
" Ijfind mnni'T t/l llin nnnr nnnc anil liftr.
row money of the rich onos, and naythor
sort will ivor trouble you again."
Politeness is the religion of the heart,
as piety is that of the rouI. It is good
nature in action. It ronders whoever muy
be its object contented und happy undci
its softening infiuenoe. It consists in act<
which show their source?the heart.
Twenty thousand Poles want to emigrate t<
this country, and efforts are being made t<
settle them in Virginia. They are tired o:
Muscovite rule.
Courting In Right Style.
' Oct out, you puppy?let me alone, or,
I'll tell your ma l" cried out Sally to her
lover, Jake, who set about ten loot lrom
her, pulliqg dirt out ol the chimney corner.
"1 ain touchin on you, Sail," rcspondod
Jake.
"Well, perhaps you don't intend to,
nutbor, do ye ?"
"No, I don't."
"Cause you ore too tamal rcarry, you
long-legged, canter-jawed, slab-sided, pigeon-toed,
knock-kneed, nwl-eyed, owl, you;
you ein't got a tarnal bit o' sense; get home
with vou."
O-ll T 1 J tA l 1 !i .
nuw o?w, x iuvc yuu auu cau i ncip it;
and if you don't let me stay and court you,
my daddy will sue yourn for that cow bo
sold him totber day. By jingo h? said he'd
do it.
"Well, look here, Jake, if you want to
court me, you had better do it as a white
man docs that thing; not set off thar as if
you thought I was pizen."
"liow on earth is that, Sail?"
"Why, sidle right up hero, and hug and
kiss me as if you had some of the bone and
sinew of the man about you. I>o you 'spose
a woman's only made to look ut: you fool
you? They are made to hug and kis9."
"Well, said Jake, (drawing a long
breath) if I must I must; for 1 do love you,
Sail." And he commenced sliding up to
her like a maple p^kcr going to battle.
Laying his arm on Sail's shoulder, we herd
Sail say?
. "That's the way, old boss?that's actiu'
like a white man ortcr."
"Oh, Jerusalum and pancakes!" exclaimed
Jake, if this ain't belter than any
apple sass ever marni made, a darn site."
Crackee 1 Buckwheat cakes?slap- jacks
and lassees, ain't no whore alongside of
Sail. Oh 1 Sail, how I love you I"
Silent Influences.?Tho Ilev. Albert
Barnes says : It is tho bubbling stream
which flows gently?the little rivulet which
runs ulong, day and night, by the farm
house?that is useful, rather than the swollen
flood of the warring cataract. Niagara
excites our wonder, and we stand amazed
at the power and greatness of God there, as
he "pours it from tho hollow of liis hand."
But oiio Niagara is enough for the continent
or the world, while the same world
requires thousands and tens of thousands
of silver fountains and gently flowing rivulets,
that water every farm and meadow,
and every garden, and that shall flow on
every day and night with their gcutlc,
quiet beauty. So with the acts of our
lives. It is not by great deeds, like those
of the martyrs, that good is to be done, but
by the daily quiet virtues of life, the Chris
tian temper, the flood qualities of relatives
and friends.
A widow lady of Danville, Kentucky,
took an orphan boy to raise, and when he
had arrived at the age of eighteen sho
married him, she then being in her fiftieth
year. They lived many years together,
happy as any couple. Ten years ago they
took an orphan girl to raise. Last fill the
old lady died, being ninety six years of
age, and in seven weeks after, the old man
married the girl they had raised, he being
sixty four years of age, and she eighteen.

" IIuruaii Foil Your Captain."?A
little newsboy, in Nashville, was watching
a federal procession pass. After regardiug
them very vindictively for some little time,
he shouted with all his lungs :
" Hurrah for Jeff. Davis."
" Pshaw l" said a bluo coatod officer,
" Hurrah for the devil, you mean."
" Very well," replied the urchin, "you
shout for your captain?I'll shout for
mine."
The Duchess of Newcastle, who was a
great writer of plays and romnnccs in the
time of Oharlus II., askod Dishop Wilkins,
who had just announced his discovery of
world in the moon, how she could get
thore. "As the journey," said she, "must
needs bo Tory long, there will be no possibility
of getting there without stopping by
the way." "Your grace," replied the bishop,
"can be at no loss for a place to stop at,
as you have built so many castles in the air."
A Happy Household.?There isnoth
ing on earth so beautiful as the household
on which christian love forever smiles, and
whon religion walks, a counsellor and a
friend. No cloud can darken it, for its
twin-stars aro centred in the soul. No
, storms can make it tremble, for it has a
heavenly support nnd a heavenly anchor.
What is it that saps the morals of youth,
kills the gem of generous ambition, desolates
the domestic hearth, renders familios
fatherless, digs dishonoured graves ??
Drunkenness.
Hook Sai.t.?On Petite Anso Island,
in the Southern part of Louisiana, there is
a bed of rock salt covering oao hundred
acros, which, during the late war, supplied
, nearly the whole of tho trans Mississippi
district. Twenty-one millions pounds were
taken from it in throe months, yet it is
reported that but a very small portion of
the deposit has been cut away. Immediate
stops aro uow taken to develop the
tuino.
i Hy laying a piece of charcoal on a burn,
the pain subsides immediately. Hy leaving
the charcoal on one hour, the wound
is healed, as has been demonstrated on
1 several occasions. The remedy is cheap
and simple, and certainly deserves a trial,
