DISCRI 13 IN A rios.—A striking instance recentli-
occurred of this happy qualification.—" Niece,"
cried a gentleman of tottune on her marriage, " I
intend to make you a handsome present. Take
your choice of three things—a town horse, a set of
jewels, or a long purse of money."—" Tie lens
purse of money, my dear. dear uncle," instantly ex-
claimed the niece ; 6, as, with the all-charming gui-
neas, I can retreitase either a house or ornaments to
my own taste." ‘Ve are inzlired to think thu this
sagacious lady will, on the same principle of reason-
ing, prefer an adventure in tl.e new State Lottery
Scheme, since it is so capable of presenting many a
long purse of real and sub,tantial guineas.
On Saturday se'nnight, about the hour of three
o'clock, a party of robbers attempted to break into the
stables of the Counteu of Mot RA, Isl.tnd•street, Dub-
lin. A short time since these stables had been robbed
of a considerable quantity of saddles and harness.
and since that periods soldier was constantly station.
ed at night toguard against a repetition of such de-
predations. 'lhe soldier, on discovering the rob-
bees by their conversation, waited until he perce. ed
the place they meant to force and enter at; aid
while one of the fellows was in the a& of breaking
a door with an iron crow, the soldier fired through
the door, and mortally wounded the robber, who
immediately expired: the body lay the whole of
Saturday in the street. The deceased appeared to
be about seventy years of age.
