from, we find it straying about among
u exchange papers, withou: an ow-
mel. Our readers may all have seen
and laughed at it before, but if they
have. we are quite sure q second Pc
rusal will provoke a SECOND and a
heartier laugh.
In Ireland q warming pan is called
a friar. Not many years ago an un-
sophisticated girl took service in a no.
tel, in the Flown Of. Poor
thing-she had never heard of war
ming pan in her life, though she reg
ularly confessed to a iriar once a
year.
Ii so happened on a cold and driz
ely night that a priest took lodging at
the inn. He had travelled far, and be-
ing weary, retired at an early hour
Soon after the mistress of the house
called the servant girl.
"Betty, put the friar in No. g."
Up went Betty to the poor priest.
"Your reverence must 60 into No.
6, my mistress says"
SHOW, WHAT said he, annoyed at
being disturbed.
"Your reverence must 60 into'No.
g."
There was no hslp for it, and the
priest diUsI. L~---I.- l-csc;nn uoyn
and went into No. 6.
In about fifteen minutes the mis-
tress called to Betty.
"Put the triar in No. d."
Betty said something about distur-
bling his reverence, which her mistress
did not understand, So she told the
girl in a sharp voice to do as she was
directed. and she would always dc
right. Up went Betty, and the IN.
happy priest, despite of his angry
protestations, was obliged to turn out
Of No. 6, and 60 into No. a. But a
little time elapsed ere the girl was
told to put the friar in No. 8, and the
poor priest thinking hat every body
was mad in the housa, sturdily re-
solved to quit it the next morning,
crept into the damp sheets Of No. 6.
But he was to enjoy no peace there.
Betty was again directed to put the
friar into No. 8, and with tears in
her eyes she obeyed. In about an
hour the ilandlady concluded concluded to 60 to
bed herself, and the friar was order.
ed into her room. Wondering wha,
it all meant, Betty reused up the
priest, and told him he must 90 into
No. 2. The monk crossed himself
counted bis beads, and went into No
9.
II so happened that the Landlord
was troubled with the green.eyet
monster. Going up to bed. there

were confirmed by seeing between
his own sheets, a man sound asleep
To rouse the sleeper and kick him in
to the street was the work of a mo
ment; nor was the mistake explained
until next day, when the priest infor
med the innkeeper what outrages hat
been committed upon him, and he
learned to his amazement, that he

sued in respect to Texas, the protection
OF our cotton factories and the sugar cul
ture OF Louisiana, we may expect the
present price of cotton will be maintained
for many years TO come; which will tend
to enhance the value of lands, increase
the receipts Of government from their
more ready sale, and at the same time in.
crease the population Of Mississippi, so
that IN Few years time her portion of
the nett proceeds, will exceed her present
revenues from taxation, and enable her to
pay all her just debts without difficulty, ,
and to extend her internal improvements,
and establish schools in every township
