And his mother could find no rest till she
had made him little flag with the names Of
Hale and Julian upon it. And every day as
the boys would pass shouting for Pierce or
Scott, our little hero would rush into the
street with his little flag, waving IN the breeze,
and cry hurrah for Hale and Julian 3ai
The father was good deal annoyed by his
sons politics, for he was strong Scott man.
He tried in vain for some time to induce his
son to hurrah for Scott. One day his father
came in and called his little son to him. /

UsrNc A WHOLE Eca.-A friend told us an
anecdote few days since, illustrating thefree
generous character of the Irish, which we con-
slider too good to be lost, and therefore give it
to our readers.
Our friends wife being in delicate health,
it was resolved that girl should be procured
to do housework, that the lady might have
an opportunity to recover her health and
spirits.
After visiting an intelligence Office two or
three mornings, fine buxom lass of about
twenty years of age, "hut six months from
swate Ireland" was selected and instructed
as to the duties that would be expected Of
her. aat M lsa NJ esag

ground coffee into the pot, then pour III the
hot water, and after a few minutes boiling,

''All right" replied the lady Snow. then,

Tomorrow morning came, and the coffee
was as good as could be expected. The third
morning came, and to the establishment of our
friend and wife, the coffee was undrinkable
and nauseating: even the odor of it was sick
ening. Bridget was called, and questioned
as follows: 1850

The HORSE THAT WOULD NOT GO UP HILL.
We have heard Of horse that had the trick
of refusing to- go over any hill; he would as
cend for short distance, and then begin 10
back down; no lashing or persuasion Of any
kind could make him go up. He could only
be used to advantage where the ground was
level. The horse was finally cured of the
trick by very effectual though somewhat
severe process. s ~ u
He was loaned on one occasion to q man.
the owner agreeing that he might hsye the
use Of him for a wear if he could cure him Of
this inconvenient habit and no question:
were to be asked. =, Accordingly on q given
day he was put in charge of the man who un-
dertook the cure, and he started to make q
journey Of a few miles with the animal. Tn
coming to the first assent, the horse, saccord-
ing to custom, after going up short distance
began to back downwards. The gentlemen
who had undertaken the correction Of this
part of his education, had previouslva tied
some straw around the tail Of the horse. and
no sooner did the animal commence to back
down than he applied lighted match to the
inhamable material. The result was that the
horse started on gallop up the hill, and ev-
or afterwards on coming to an ascent, went upa
as fast as his legs would carry him. Saaat dsi1r
As a postscript,we may ado, that the hofsesss
tail was completely destroyed, and did not
grow out again, SO that he was rather an ,l1l-S
slightly looking animal for the remainder Of
his life /; but he was completely cured Of the
trick Of backing down hill Perhaps the same
cure, more moderately applied, would have
answered the purpose as well. = Peoples
