the plumpness of woman's rather than the robust

Unfair Treatment, any hoac!-Two natives of the
Emerald Isle, becoming weary of life, lately agreed
to aid each other in shuffiin9 off this mortal coil.
They locked themselves into a room at their lodg-
ings, each with pistol, charged to the muzze with
powder and ball, ready to do execution, 'as per
contract" on one another. They tossed up their
last remaining copper, to which should have the
first fire. 1t fell to Pat; and Dennis faith
fully, the last word he spoke, that as ever
Pat had killed him dead he would, on his part re-
turn the favour to Pat.
Well, every thing being properly settled, and hay
