ECCENTRIC HOsPITAIJTy

During the late American War a soldier
who had been wounded and honorably dischar-
ged, being destitute and benighted, knocked at
the door OF an Irish farmer, when the following
dialogue ensued:
Patrick.-And who the devil are YOU.
Soldier.-My name is John Wilson.
Patrick.-And where the devil are you 90
ing from John Wilson.
Soldier.-From the American army at Erie
sir.
Patrick.-And what do you want here.
Soldier want shelter to night; will you
permit me to spread my blanket on your floor
and sleep tonight
Patrick.-Diviltake me if / do, John VIII
son.
Soldier.-On your kitchen floor, sir
Patrlck---Not /, blythe II ilIoIIowth.
Soldier.---Iu your stable, then!
Patrich-I'm be hanged if do that eth
or.
Soldier.--l'm dying with hunger: give me
but bone and crust; / ask no more
Patrick.--Dvll blow me i'll do, sir.
Soldier.--Give me some water to quench
my thirst, beg ofyou.
Patrick-Beg and be hangedl III do no
such thing.
SOIdier.-Sir, have been fighting to secure
contributing TO the glory and welfare of the
country which has Hospitality received you
and can you so Hospitality reject me from your
house.
Patrick.-Reject you; who the divil talked
a word about rejecting you! May be l am not
the scurvy spalpeen you take me to be, John
Wilson. You asked me to let you lie on my
floor, my kitchen floor, or in my stable; now,
by the powers, dye think I'd let a perfect
stranger do that, when have half-a-dozen soft
feather beds al empty: No, by the Hill'o
Howth, John, that / wont. In the second
place, you told me you were dying with hunger
and wanted bone and crust to eat; now,
honey, dye think I'll feed a hungry man on
bones and crusts, when my yard is full of fat
pulIets, and turkeys. and pigs, No, by the
powers, not J. that's fat In third place, you
asked me for some simple water to quench
your thirst; now, as my water is none of the
best, never give it to poor traveller without
mixing it with plenty of wine, or something
else wholesome and cooling. Come in my
house, my honey; divil blow me, but you shall
sleep in the best feather bed have; you shall
have the best supper and Ithe best breakfast
that my farm can supply, which, thank heaven,
Is none ofthe worst; you shall drink as much
water as you chose, provided you mix 1t with
plenty OF good wine, and provided also you pre-
fer it. Come in, my hearty, come in, and feel
yourself at home. 1t shall never be said that
Patrick O'Flaherty traied man scurvily who
has been fighting for the dear country which

CoLLoQUY--Soon after the revolutionary

Petersburg, in Russia, and " hile there accept
ed an invitation to dine--tbere was a large
number aithe table and among the rest an En-
glish lady who wished to appear one OF the
knowing ones. This lady on understanding
that an American was one of the guests, ex-
pressed to one of her friends determination to
quiz him. She fastened on him like tigress.
making many inquiries respecting our habits,
customs, dress, manner, and mode OF life, edu-
cation, amusements, &c. q. To all OF the m
quiries, Capt p. gave an answer that satisfied
all the company, except the lady: she was de-
terTnined not to be satisfied, and the following
short dialogue took place.
Lady-Have the rich people in your country
carriages! for suppose there are some that
call themselves rich.
Capt. P.--My residence is in small town
upon an island, where there are but few car
riages kept, but IN the large towns and cities
upon the main land, there number are kept In
style suited to republican manners.
LADY, can't think where they md drivers
for should think the Americans knew how
to drive a coach.
Capt. P.--We find no difficulty on that ac-
cyunt madam, we can have plenty of drivers
by sending to England for them.
Lady-(speaking very quickly) think the
Americans ought to drive the English instead
of the English driving the Americans.
Capt. P.--We did madam in the late war;
but since peace, we permit the English to drive
usl
The lady choked with anger stood mute
minute, and then left tho room whispering &c
her friend-the yankees are too much Tor US

Comedy and Iragedy.-Baron Holbairch,
in conversation on theatrical works. thus de-
scribes comedy and tragedy: "The business
of a comedy is always marriage, and that OF
tragedy murder. All the intrigue turns on
this question: shall they marry, or shall they
not marry! Shall they kill or shall they rot
kill! They shall marry, they shall kill, and
so ends the first act; they shall not marry they
shall not kill concludes the second act. A new
means of marrying and killing present ITSELF
which is the substance of the third act. a new
difficulty arises, ard prevents the marriage
and the murder, and this forms the fourth act
At length, wearied with the contest they mar
| ~ and they KID, which completes the price.

A BATCH OF CROSS READING.-As HerVio
Nano was making his flight the other evening
from the gallery to the stage-the Recorder
sentenced him to bail or 60 to the calaboose
for thirty days.
We learn that one of our most fashionable
bellies is about to be led to the alter by

While the Pontchartrain .rain Of cars were
at full speed down the track to the lake, at II
O'Clock, yesterday the locomotive expressed
an earnest desire that the Mcleod business and
the boundary difficulties would-call and spend
the evening at the earliest convenience.
Anoh acquaintance from up the coast last
evening-took fire IN the garnet, and, in spite
of the noble exertlons of the fremen-he was
three times encored with rapturous enthusi-
assn.
To the gentlemaly officers of the steamer
Eliza Smith we are indebted for-the most I'M
parelleled outrage that was ever offered to-
an empty tenement IN st. Joseph street which
was destroyed, together with sheds and out
houses adjoining.
The unusual number Of 300 bales Of cotton
attended the Katchez theatre, by invitation

THICKER THAN THREE IN A BED.-The
hotels at Washington on the 4tl inst. were so
crowded that the visitors were compelled to
sleep upon chairs and tables, after the beds
were all packed full. One ofthe accounts we
have seen reminds us of an old Boston story
which we heard in our younger DAYS.
"A Vermonter ''came down" during tie win
ter with couple of frozen hogs in his pung or
lumber box, and drove up to the hotel at The
North End. The house was as full as it could
hold and the r-keeper one ofthe driest ways
that ever cracked joke.
"Can have my horse put up and get lodoin
for myself in this ere tavern! said the Yer
monterr kicking the snow from his shoes, and
addressing the bar-keeper.
"You can have both, sir" rejoined the bar
keeper.
"Well, Iwish you'd fax round and git sup
per as fast as you can, cause Pm alfred hun
cry and tired tn. I've driv all the way from
Chesford since dinner, and some sassyges or
somethin of that sort wouldn't go bad Jest
now" continued the Vermonter.
"ll take your measure" sa1d the keep
er reaching a piece of tape from a nail and
stepping from behind the bar.
ooh! get out" said the Vermonter. s.You
don't measure folks for meal of vittes down
here do you.
"Always," retorted the roguish bar-heeper
ave always measure strangers more par
ticularly than ever when they call for sausages
About four feet would do for you, | should
Think" drawing the tape around the waist o.
the Astonished Green Mountain boy.
The supper was soon smoking on the table,
the Vermonter made hearty meal and shorth
after came to the bar-keeper and said he was
ready TO 60 to bed.
"You have no objections to sleeping more
than one in bed, have you," said the wag.
"Not the least arthly objection in the work, -
retorted the Vermonter.
"Well, there is no necessity for my showing
you the way up" continued the bar-keeper,
taking his lodger to the foot of the stairs and
handing HIM candlestick. ssYou will 90 up
four pair of stairs when you viii come to a
ladder. Go up that and you viii see a rope
hanging down through a scuttle. You viii
then have the kindness to put the candlestlck
between your teeth, spit on your hands and
climb the rope hand over hand. There is one
bed in the loft with only nine men and boys in
it and plenty more room for onemore by crowd
ing in under the caves. SorryI cant do any
better for you tonight, but we're ueryfull!"
1t Is needless to say that the bar-keeper was
Joking all the while, and afterwards gave the
Vermontera comfortable chunk" on the floor,
but not until he had frightened him badly at
the idea of taking so long a journey at that
time of night up stairs, ladder and ropes.
