A Cheap Breakfast.

A son of Erin at Schenectady heard
the breakfast bell ring OH board of a ca
nal boat just starting out for Buffalo
The fragrance of the viands induced
him 10 go aboard.
"Sure, Captain, DEAR" said he, "and
what'll ye AK poor man for travelling
on yer Elegant swan ov boat I"
"Only cent and half mile and
found" replied the captain.
And it is the vittles ye mean tc find
sure :"
Yes. And if you're going along,
go down to breakfast"
Pat didn't wait to be told second
time, but having descended into the cab
in and made a hearty meal, he came "a
gain on deck aud requested that the boat
might be stopped.
"What do you want to stop for Z"
inquired the captain.
+" How far have we come, just :" asked
Pat.
"Only a little over mile"
Pat handed the captain two cents,
and coolly told him thath he believed he
would go no farther with him, as Judy
would wait her breakfast, not knowing
that he had breakfasted out.
The joke was SO good, that the cap
tain took the cents, ordered the boat TO
be stopped, helped Pat ashore, and told
him that should he ever have occasion
to travel that way again he should be
happy TO carry him.
