Oh, indaad,I'm not saying would'nt do it as soon formist my face,youir hon or,.as- ou often did before, and will *ai paze God, and welkim--" - Wl, Paddy, say no more about tha b let's have the story." Snee I'm loa' no tellin' the gen tieMin before hand that it's what they'll be callin' it a lie, and indeed, it is un common, sure enough, but you see gin lemen, you must remember that the, fox is the cunn'ist baste in the worle barrin' the wran. . 'Here Paddy questioned why ho con sidered the wren as cunning a bate as the fox. "Why sir, bekase all birds build their nests with one hole in it only, ex cep'n the wran, but the wran builds two boles on the nest, so thatif an inimy comes to disturb it upon one door, it can go out on the other; but the foi is cute to that degree, that there's many a mortal a fool to him; and, be dad, the fox could buy and sell many a. Chris tian, a.you'll see by and by, when I tell you whathappened to a wood ran ger that Iknew want, and a dacent man he was, and would'atsay the thing in a he. Woll, you see,he km home one night, mighty tired, for he was out with a par tytired, for ho was out with a party in the domaiu, cock-shootin' that day; and when he got back to his lodge, he threw a few log 'o wood on the fire to make himself comfortable, and ho tuk what tver little mather he had for his supper, and, after that, he felt himself so tired that he went -to bed. But you're to understan' that, though he went to bed, ity'was ore for to rest himself, like, than to sleep, for it was airly; and so he jst went to bed, and there diverted himself ookin' at the fire, that was blazin' as mer-y as a bon-fire on- the *heath. "Well, as he was l in' that-a-way, just thinkin' o' nothin' at all, what should come into the place but a fox. 'But I must tell you, what I forgot to to tell you before, that the ranger's house was on the borthers o' the wood, and he had no one to live wid him but himself, barrin' the dogs that he had the car uv, that was his only compan is, and he had a hole cut in the door, with aswingin' board to it, that the dogs might go in or ut, accordin' as it plased them; and, be dad, the for came n as'I told you through the hele in the door, as bold as a ram, and walked nover to the fire and sat down forninst it. "Now, it was mighty provokin' that all the dogs was out; they wor rovin' aborut the woods, you see, looking for to ketch rabbits to ate, or some other mischief, and it so happened that there wan't so much as one individual dog in the place; and, be dad, I'll go bail the fox knew that right well before he put his nose inside the ranger's lodge. "Well, the rangers was in hopes that some o' the dogs id come home and saltpothre would'nt save you, and that a strong pickle!' "So, with that, he watched until the fex wasn't miindini him, but was busy shakin' the cinders out o' the pipe, when he done wid it, and tho ranger thought he was going to go immediate. ly after gettin' an'air o' the fire and a shaugh o' the pipe; and so says he, -"Faiks my lad, I won't let- you go so aisy as all that, as eunnin' asyou think yourself,' and wid that he made a dart out 0' bed, and run over to the door, and got betune it and the fox; and, "now' says he "your bread's baked, my buck, and may be my lord wvon't have a fine run out o' you and the dogs at your brish -every yard you morodin' thief, and the divil mind you,' says he, "for your impudence, for sure, if you had'nt the impidince of a highwayman's horse, it's not into my very house, und ther my nose, you'd dare for to come,' and with that, he began to whistle for the dog, and the fox, that stood eyein' him all the time while he was spakin' begq~n to think it was time to be joggin' when he heard the whistle, and says the fox to himself, "Troth, indeed, yu think yourself a mighty great ranger now,' says he, 'and you think you're very cute, but, upon my tail, and that's a big dath, I'd be long sorry to let sitch a mallet headeel bag throtter as yourself talke a dirty advantage o' me, and I'll engage,' says the fox, "I'll make you eaie 'the door soon ahd siddini;' and, wt.tat, he turned to where the ran 'r~ rogues were lying, hard by. be.

Byall that's good -and the ranger himsalf towled me out i his own mouth, and said he wouldit have believed it, only he seen it-the fox tuk a lighted piece iv bog out o' the blazin' fire, and run over sid it to the ranger's bed, and was going~ to throw it imto the straw and burn him outiv house and home; so when the ranger seen that, he gev a shout out iv him. "Hiob, hilo! your murtherin. villin! says he fo re ors nor Captasin Rook is it ging' to burn me outyouare, you r')gue iv a Ribbonman!" and he made a dart betine him and the bed, to save the house from being burned: but my jewel that was what the fox wanted; and as soon as the ranger quitted the hole in the door, thathe was standin' fornist, the fox let go the plazin, faggot, and made one jump through the: door and escaped.' '.But before he wint, the ranger. gevt me his oath, that the fox turned round and gev him the most contemptible look ho ever got in his life, and showed every tooth in his head with laughin'; and at last he put out his tongue at him, as much as to say "You've missed me like your mammy's blessin' and off wid him --like a flash o' lightnin'!" FIGHTING A WIND-MILL. A few evenings since a stout, pugna cious seafaring individual was wending his way slowly down one of the wharves of our city towards his ship. Tanhe night was dark and he had been "Booing" the "tarnal itter" up in Ann street, to such an extent as to render him quite bellicose in his feelings, and somewhat unsteady in his gait. "Now I ehoiddjust like to see the covy what can stan up afore me by -," and he gesticulated'fariously with both arms in most approved style-aba Belcher Kay. "It would be some 'at of a treat to give a feller a rog'lar broadside wouldn't I stave his' bor i ?-'-sha ? Wouldn't I douse his gliii? may be I wouldn't "Hallo ! hallo I--who's. that struck me ?" cried he in a frenzy of pasaion, as he ran his face with a force that nearly prostrated him, against a cap stan bar that had been loft without be ing unshipod. ."Fair play--fair play--an' no skulk ing in the dark-jist stan' out if you want-' Meanwhile the force with which ho ran against the bar pushed the capstan around, and another bar which was al so in place came up behind 'and .dealt him a blow on the back of the head. ."Oh!I ho !-my coves--two of ye, is tha'-and one of ye abaft the beam --ye datrned Mexicans-.-but I'm good for twenty-.." He had barely time to change fronts and defend himself in the rear, before the last given blow brought back the first bar, and he received another heavy b~low im the (thon) rear.
