There Glanced TO be on board of the
same trader two very pretty Irish girls of
the better sort Of bnrgeoise, going 90 join
their friends at Philadelphia. The name
of the one judy, Of the other Maria. No
soonerswere the poor Irishmen Informed
Of their change of destination. than they
set up howl loud enonghto make The
scaly monsters Of tha deep seek their dark
cayefns. The bearted Girls were
grieved and when ne thorough bass of
the men was joined BY the sopranos and
trebles Of the women and children, it
would have made Orpheus himself turn ]
round and gaze. g Oh, Miss judy oh,
Miss Maria would you be- so cruel as to
see as poor cratOrs dragged away 10 man
Of war, and not for 70 60 and spake q
word fol. us.l A word to The caplaiG wid
your own pretty mouths, no doubt he would
let US of. " The young ladies, though
doubling the powers of their own fascina-
ii0ns, resolved to nlake the expo bent
So begging the Lieutenant Of he sloop 10
give them passss-s on board 10 ,spaalk Win
the Csptaih, they added 4 small natter Of
fnery 10 their dress, and skipped into the
boat like couple ofmountain kids, caring
neither for the exposure of themselves nor
the spray Of the salt wafer, which, though
it took tho curis out Of their hair, added a
bloom to their cheeks, which, perhaps, con-
tributed in no small degree TO the success
Of their project.
There u something in the sight Of pot
ticoat sat sea that never fails to put man
into good humor, provided he beEfightly
constructed. Whenthey got on board the
Humming4bird, they were received by tho
captain And pray, young ladies, said
no, what may have procured me tho honA
orpf this visit ut was 10 be- q favor Of
your honor, said Judy. Ahd bis honor
will grant il too, said Maria; for like
the look Of him. FIa{tefed ~ this little
shot Of Maria =, the Captain said that l,oih-
ing ever gavesiim more pleasure Than to
oblige the ladies and if the favor they in
tcndcd 70 ask was not utterly incompatible
with his duty, that he would grant IT,
Well then, said Judy, will your honor give
ME back Pat Flanagan, thar you have
pressed just now The Captain shook
his head. Hes no sailor, your honor, but
a poor bog frotter and win never do you
any good. The Captain again shook his
head. Ask me any thing else, said he,
and i will give il you. Well then. said
Maria, give us Phelim O'Shaughnessy.--
The Captain was equally inAexible.
Come, come, your honor, said Judy, we
must not stand upo6 .trifles nowadays;
an give you kiss, # you'll give me Pat
Flanagan. And another, said Maria,
for Phelim. The Captain had one seat
ed on sacl. side of him his head turned
like dog vane in gale Of wind he did
not know which 10 begin with; the most
ineffablesgood l,umor danced in his eyes,
and the ladies saw at once rhat the day
was their own. Such Is the power Of
beauty, that this lord of the ocean was fam
to strike 10 IL. Judy laid kiss on his
4 right cheek; Maria matched it0n his left
the Captain was the happiest 1f nortals.
Well, then, said he, you hare your wish,
take your two mem; for I'm In hurry to
make sail. IL il sail We are after making /;

The Lord Chancellor used to say, he
