cried the jeweler flying into passion.
+" Don't be SO fast, yer honor" repli-
ed Pat. "Sure an ye know as well as
tho nose on yer face, that merely as
ked like gentleman, for the sake Of
information, so that if I'd iver find a
lump of goold I'd know its value"
A kick which sent Pat reeing out Of
the shop, was administered 10 him by
the jeweller. who was incensed to think
Of the imposition played upon HIM, and
Mr.. Flanagan went of, swearing by
his graadfather's ghost, that that bread
and butter was the best he had tasted
since the time he stuck PIN in Jerry
O'Hanlan, at Jerry's fathers wake.

voice Of anger, bade me begone and
perform her will. | still seem to hear
her threatening and appalling words;
"Go," said her majesty, "and never for
get that it is your Indispensable duty to
execute without questioning, the COM
mands that think you worthy to re.
ceive from me-"
1t is impossible to describe the agita,
ton, the anguish or the despair Of the
poor Saderland. After he had for a
time given vent to the violence of his
distress, the commssary told him that
he was allowed quarter of an hour to
settle his affairs. In vain the banker
prayed for longer interval, or at least
for an opportunity to write to the EN-.
press, and implore her clemency. AT
length, although trembling for the con-
sequences of his own life, he consented
and he Immediately after followed the
letter himself; but not having courage
to present himself at court, ho went to
seek his friend and protector, Count
Bruce.
The Count thought the commissary
must have made mistake, and took
him directly to the imperial palace
There leaving him in the ante-chamber
he obtained admission to the presence
Of the empress, to whom he related the
whole affair.
What was his astonishment to over
hear the empress exclaim--"Just heav
en-! what atrocity! There can be nc
doubt that Niecloff (he commissary) is
mad! Quick! Count, take horse before
it is too late, and deliver my poor bank
er from his alarm; and assure him o
my favour and good wishes"
The Count fastened to communicate
this order to the commissary, and was
yet more astonished when, returning
to the presence ofthe empress, he heard
her exclaim, amid bursts of the loudest
laughter.
"Now | understand the cause of this
strange and lncomprehensibe scene.
have for several years had fine dog,
which valued highly, and | had given
him the name of ,Sadcrland, both for
the sake of a joke on my good banker.
and alsp in compliment to the English
gentleman of that name from whom
obtained the dog. Early this morning
| gave orders to Nieclolf to take of his
skin, entire, in order to have it stuffed,
as the poor thing was dead. He SEEM
ed to hesitate whether to obey, and !
was very angry, because ! thought it
was silly pride on his part"
This anecdots may appear comical,
and so indeed it is; but it is important
to consider that men are to be found
who think themselves obliged 10 yield
obedience to despotc will. however
absurd may be the command to which
their obedience is required.

An Irishman's Mode of Rails,
inc a Dinner.

We heard the following story mar
rated few nights since, and thought
it at the time the most mlrth-provoking
thing we had heard for some time. This
may have been owing, perhaps, to the
narrator's peculiar faculty Of story tel
ling. At any rate it loses greatly in
our hands. But we will give it as near
Iy as we can rccollect.
Once upon a time, son of Erin en-
tered a je Neller's shop in the iar-lamed
citv OF Dublin. Now it happened, that
Patrick was completely strapped; that
is to say, hadn't the first red cent; and,
furthermore, he vas exceedingly hun
gry. But he had hit uPon a happy. al
tentative for making good this occhclen'
cy. Approaching the jeweller, he said:
"What ill We give me for a lump of
goold as thick as my wrist, and as long
as the half of my arm?"
The ieweller had often heard oflarge
pieces of gold being discovered in GER
tain parts of Ireland, which pieces of
gold. it was surmised had been left by
the Danes on their expulsion from the
country. Thinks he to himself, very
wisely, "ths ignorant Irishman has
found his gold of which he speaks, and
may the powers help me but I'll take
him IN"
"Will you take drop TO drink, my
good fellow?" he cunningy asked, well
convinced that few drops Of the "cray-
tur'' would be effectual in the perform
ance Of his object.
"Upon my sowl, Jim Flannegan's
the man to do that?" was the answer.
"But may beyou'd like bit of break
fast, my good fellow?"
Bad luck to me, but I'm as hungry
as a handspike, responded Mr.. Elan
negan.
Some bread and butter, and several
other daintics, which enter into the
composition of the necessaries of life,
were accordingly ordered and brought.
Our hero made an excellent repast,
which ever and anon, at the instigation
of the kind AMI benevolent jewe!ler,
who showed his guest every possible
kindness, was washed down with CO.
pions potation Of poteen. This occur
renee, there is every reason to believe,

After Mr., James Flanagan had min

brlated with the poteen, his host nudged

Skinning a Banker.

lively picture Of the spirit whichreign-
ed in the Russian court, under the sway
of the celebrated Catharlne the Second.
1t is significant comment on the ad-
vantages of "unlimlted obedience"
A rich banker, named Saderland, en-
ioyed for long time the favour of the
empress, but one day he suddenly saw
his house surrounded by an armed force,
led by commissary of the police, who
demanded to speak with him.
"My dear sir" said he to the alright
ened banker, "it greves me deeply to
have received orders from our gracious
sovereign to execute towards you a
severity beyond any thing | have ever
yet seen. know not what extraor-
dinary offence you have committed to
excite such extremity Of anger in her
majesty, as to induce her to command
a punishment SO horrible and unprece-
dented.'
81 do not understand a word of what

ed banker. 81 am as much amazed as

find an hospitable reception in any 9TH

80 heavens! is it possible that am
to be exiled to Siberia?"
SEVEN from there you might, sooner
or later, be called to Russia"
"Perhaps, then, you are going to put
me in prison?"
"Iwishit were so, for then you might
be liberated"
sam /, then, condemned to undergo
the knout?"
"The knoutis dreadful punishment,
to be sure, but is not al,oays fatal"
"Then, oh! you lead me to death !
tell me plainly; this suspense is worse
than death ITSELF"
"Know, then, that our most gracious
empress has given absolute orders to
take off your entire skinp'
stake off my skin!' exclaimed Sad
erland, seized with horror--.'to hay

mand, he added: ''No, not cannot
