The Jntter replied that all he could give him would be a job carrying a hod. "I'm your man," replied the blacksmith promptly. Years nfterward, while an imposing edifice was being erected in Chicago for Dr. Collyer, he was 'standing among the beams watching the progress of the work when an Irishman came along with a hod of bricks. I)r. Collyer spoke to hint, and he paused. "This is har-rd work, sor," said the Irishman. "I know that well," answered Dr. Collyer. "In my day I've carried the hod myself." "The Irishman stnred at me an instant," said Dr. Collyer in relating the incident, "and then went on his way mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like, 'I wouldn't 'a' belavcd th* parson was such a liar.'"

Strange as it may seem, there is a public man in this city who is blessed or cursed with a tender conscience that worries him in small matters as well as in great. Amoug the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding a servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive the many visitors who call upon him, and liis only resource Was to irivo Insfrilftirma flint polite excuses should be given. Upon one occuslon such Instructions were given to q maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation. "Then I'm to be saying, sir, that you're not at home?" the maid Inquired. "No, Mary; no'." was the reply. "That would not be true. If any one should ask for mc you must just put lilin off?give him some evasive answer, you know." "I'll do It, sir. never fear," was the maid's reply. Mary was as good as her word. That afternoon a person of Importance made his appearance and was duly sent away. The faithful maid reported the circumstance to her employer. "What did you do, Mary?" Inquired the latter, with some treDldation. "Oh, I Just put him off, sir, as you told me. I gave him an evasive answer." "Yes, but what did you any to him?" "Oh, sure, he axed me if the boss was nt home, and I said to hira, 'Was his grandmother a monkey?'"?Philadelphia Telegraph.

There was a big sensation in Lecsville, when W. II Brown, of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Or, King's New Discovery for Consumption.
