An Ant Illustration.

Passing the foot Of the Market one
day last week, says the American
Union, we overheard a Yankee and an
Irishman good-naturedly but earnestly
discussing the question of the latter's
right to vote.
"Your're an Irishman," said jon
athan.
!" Bad luck to the like NV ye, I tell
ye I'm an Amerikin-as good as yer
self"
"Wal l say yew aint peTaint no
use o'your trying tu foolnaoople that
way. Hear your 6roage m'rw."
IL tell ye I'm an a 'iicG",' in
sisted Pat.
Haow long hev yer bn here ?"
more nor tin year."
Wal, yew wusn't born here, wus
yew ?"
Borhn, is it I? What hes that to
do wit it any how, then %
+" 1eW must be born IN tnlS country,
Pat, to be a native American"
"Shure, an perhaps the like NV ye
never heard Of a mans being, borhn
agin,' did ye?"
f" Wal, that won't dew, no haow'd
"Well, then | aus borhn, in ould
Ireland-true for ye. But am ar
Amerikin for all that, shure. For Dc
you mind a man might be borhn in
stable-but Wud that make him I
horse ?"
The roar from the,bystanders which
followed this :: settler" rather tool
our Yankee friend out Of his boots, fo
the moment; and he forthwith retired
declaring that Pat was a good 'un an.
haow.

From the Ohio Farmer.
A Story for the Times.
BY MRS. F. D. GAGE.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Mira; will
get done and come back just as quick
as l can. Come, put on your happy
face, now, or shall feel sad all day,
and when am sad, can't half work;
and so you see | shall be gone oil the
longer, if you give way so."
"l don't want to cry, mother, my
heart amt crying, its only my eyes.
The tears will run, because it seems
so hard for you to go away and work
all day for us; and then little Willie
cries so sometimes, and | can't make
him be still, and he won't eat his bread
soaked in water; and father comes
home sometimes, too, and he always
scolds if we play or make any noise;
and he whips Edward, because you
know Ed will say what he has a mind
to; and we had such agood time yester-
day, Just all alone; and you told us such
pretty stories, that it would seem more
lonesome than ever this morning Oh!
wish it was always Sunday"
"But If it was always Sunday,
Mira, should get no work, and you
would have no bread and water even,
for little Willie But come cheerEp,
And her voice cliOAed VIII aLlg UlsIi,
for she knew well the why. He had
taken the last quarter from her pock-
ct and gone forth to his daily haunts;
and a quarter, aye, and that quarter
earned by the delicate hands of his
wife, would suffice to brutalize him
all day; and he would not return to
abuse the helpless ones at home.
$50, cheer up" she continued, and
/ if get work all this week, you shall
all have Christmas, a merry Christ
mas"
And the pale mother stopped and
| kissed each one Of her six precious
ones, of whom Mira, not yet nine
/ years old, was The eldest; and throw.
/ ing faded blanket shawl about hel
H shoulders, she hurried into the street
/ say hurried; aye did she hurry, les
the tears which were swelling up ir
the fountain of love, should overflow
with the cold weight Of despair laiC
upon their surface by the artless words
OF her suffering child. Aye, she hur.
ried into the street, and pulling hel
gingham sun-bonnet over her eyes, le
those tears flow. Her children, hel
loved ones, would not see them; thu
world did not see them; and the
cold pavements on which they fell
seemed but emblematical of the hear
which should have received them, ant
she wiped them away with tende
hand from the cheek, which ten year
before had received the enrapturec
kiss Of affection from one who vowed
in the sight Of God and man, to love
cherish and protect. She wept, wep
freely.
"What makes you cry?" said tn,
silvery voice Of little Helen Wade, a
she stood by the wash-tub, dipping u
r the snowy foam with her dimpled lit
tie hands "What makes you cryl-
, Is your baby dead? Mama, cried whel
our baby was dead, and they put hin

in the ground. Is your baby dead?"
"No, love; but when | come here to
wash your pretty slips, he cries for me,
and then, sometimes, cry too"
"Have you got any little girls?"
Yes, three little girls"
"And three little boysl"
"Yes, three little boys"
"Have your little girls got any
doIls3'
"No."
"Why don't you buy them somel"
I" Helen" said Mrs. Wade, who was
Standing near, washing some laces and
rich embroidery in China bowl,
Helen, you talk too much. Mrs.
Wilson don't want to answer you so
many questions"
Helen was silent but she watche d
with intense interest the face of Mr. s,
Wilson, who, as she looked into the
great blue eyes Of the child, her fair
brow and rosy cheeks, radiant with
joy and happiness, thought Of her own
dear Helen equally beautiful, mirthful
and happy, and of the earnest request
made the day before, that she should
buy her a doll. The past, with all it's
sunshine and gladness, seemed mock
ing the present. The thought Of the
beautiful simplicity ofthat angel-child.
She, too, had been an only daughter.
She, too, the petted child Of wealth;
lei oWn llIBl8 Helen, ana now, an VA
dark-dark through the inebriate's
curse. Her parents were dead, her
property gone, her husband a drunk
ard, her children suffering, and she
earning their scanty bread over the
wash tub.
Little Helen watched for moment
the great crystal drops as they fell
into the suds beneath her new bonnet,
and then, as if half frightened, half
I grieved, she uttered a loud cry Of dis
tress. and flew weeping to her mother
-"Oh, don't let Mrs. Wilson cry sol"
Il she exclaimed, as she hid her face in
the folds of her mothers dress" Mrs.
i Wade turned, and for the first time
| discovered that Mrs. Wilson was in
distress, and questioning her in kind
/ ly tone, she drew from her the oft
repeated tale of sorrow and wrong
of a good, kind husband, tempted from
home and duty-of the passing away
of fortune, and of confdence-of the
gradual coming on of poverty-of sick
ness, suffering, toll and despair. How
he had once promised to reform, and
| persuaded her to leave the haunts Of
childhood for home in the West
of their struggles and hopes, and of
