Spendthrifts are in the Straits,

piasters should to the Needles go,
Wine-bibbers to Burgundy ;
Gourmands should lunch at sandwich Isles

Musicians! hasten to the Sound—
The surpliced Priests to Rome;
still the race of Hypocrites
At Canton are at home.

rvers should hasten to Good Hope—
To some Cape Horn is pain,

Maids to the Isle of Man.
?Let Gardeners all to Botany go,
And Shoeblacks to Japan.

Will then no longer vex us;
hard all that aint provided for
Mad better go to Texas.

i'se.—The first fortified houses and stone buildings
e read of were in Meath. The earliest chronological
which the most veracious of the modern Irishhisto-
mfer, is about the middle or towards the end of the
I,century, when Tuathal Teachtmar, One of the Sco-
Milesian Pagan monarchs, reigned at Tara. He
d Meath into a fifth province, as mensal lands or
age for the monarchy, by taking in portions from
Lf the other four ; hence the Irish listorians derive
we of Meidhe-L-a neck—on account of its being
by necks taken from the surrounding districts or
ces. The fact of the Gospel having been first
ed and received in Meath, is a proof of its civilisa-
na comparison with the other parts of the island at
eriod.—Dublin University Magazine.

E 'TOWN AND THE FARMSTEAD.—A dense town
ation like that of England, has, or ought to have,
me relation to the aggregate produce of, our soil,
Ea well-stocked farmstead has to the productiveness
arm. The towns of England ought to be the sur-
ang country what the farm-yard is to the farm—a
factory of manure. But the town has this vast su-
ity over the farm-yard, that its occupants are fed
setter food, and its stock of manure is increased by
t every process of domestic economy and by almost
manufacturing operation. There is this further pe-
ity ab6ut our towns, considered as sources of ma-
,-that the farmer who is so fortunate as to occupy
in the immediate neighbourhood of a town, finds his
sheds built for him. The whole town is his farm,
very house a shed which costs him nothing.—Peo-
Journal.

ILES or IRISH CHARACTER.—The most careless
must have noticed, that our Celtic brethren are,
intercourse, rapidly lowering the standard of
)mfort among the English labourers. There is
.egariousness and innate clinging to filth, such
ance of tidiness among these people that they
