The Warming Pan.

In Ireland warming pan is called
a frier.. Not many years ago an un.
sophisticated girl took service in a ho-
tel in the town of -. Poor thing
she had never heard Of warming pan
in her life, though she regularly con-
fessed to frier once year.
1t so happened. on cold and drizzly
night that a priest took lodgings in the
inn. He had travelled far. and being
weary, retired at an early hour. Soon
after, the mistress Of the house called
the servant girl.
"Betty, put the frier into No. g."
Up went Betty to the poor priest.
"Your reverence must go into No.
6, my mistress says
"Howl-what!" asked he, annoyed
at Being disturbed.
I"Your reverence must go into No.
g."
There was no help for it, and the
priest arose, donned dressing gown,
and went into No. 6.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress
called to Betty.
.Put the frier into No. A."
Betty said something about disturb
ing his reverence, which her mistress
did not understand. So she told the
girl in sharp voice, to do always as
she directed, and she would always do
right.
Up went Betty, and the unhappy
priest despite his angry protestatlons
was obliged to turn out of No. and
&c, into No. 4.
Bot a little time elapsed ere the girl
was told to put the frier into No. 5,
and the poor priest, thinking that eve.
ry body in the house was mad, and
steadily resolved to quit it next morn
ing, crept into the damp sheets of No.
3. But he was to enjoy ne peace
there. Betty was again directed 10
put The irier into No. 2, and with tears
ia her eyes, she obeyed.
In about an hour the landlady con.
cluded to 90 TO bed herself and the frier
was ordered into her room. Wonders
ing what il all meant Betty reused up
the priest and told him he must go into
No.fH, The monk crossed himself,
counted his beads and went into No.
IL.
It so happened that the husband of
the landIady was troubled with the
green eyed monster. Going up to bed,
therefore, before his wife, his suspi-
ciohs were confirmed by seeing in his
ownbed q man sound asleep. To
rouse The sleeper and kick him into the
street was The work Of moment; nor
was the mistake explained till the next
day, when the priest informed the inn.
keeper what outragcs had been com.
mitted upon him, and he learned to his
amazemeat that he had been serving
the whole night as a warming pan. !

[ In the account Of the battle of Buena

the American lines, was Captain Tag

struck down by shot from the Mexican
battery, and knowing himself to be dying,
he exclaimed, whilst extending his sword
to comrade: ssHERE, TAKE 1T; / CAN
USE IT NO MORE. BUT TELL THE BOYS
TO FIGHT oN-eUR CAUSE is 1gsT!'
Here take my sword dear comrade,
For am dying now;
But yet feel not Deaths stern hand
Upon my pallid brow.

Though death is in in my eye.

Though serried ranks may blaze

And psens of triumph raise.
The boom of cannons greetsm my ear,
The cloud of battle lowers:
Once more my pulses wildly spring,
Though numbered are my hours.
Ha! shouts of Victory rend the air;
