JAMES BOWEN, p. NJ.
An amusing instance of Hibernian SIM
plicity is afforded by the following lit
tie story, told us by friend, in whose
words we give it.
"Mollv, our housemaid, is model one,
who handles the broomstick like scep-
ter, and who has an adherence for dirt
and a sympathy for soap-suds, that
amounts to a passion. She is buStlng,
busy, rosy checked, bright-eyed, blunder-
ing Hibernan, who hovers about our
papers, and goes about thirstng for new
worlds to conquer, in the shape OF undust-
ed and unrighted corners.
One day she entered our library in a
confused and uncertain manner, quite diff
ferent from her usual bustlng way. She
stood at the door with letter between
her thumb and finger, which she held at
arms length, as If she had a gunpowder
plot in her grasp. In answer to our in
quiries as to her business, she answered:
cam it plase yer honor, Pm poor girl,
and han't much larnin', and ye sees, phase
yer honor, Paddy O'ReilIy, and the bet
ther than him doesn't brathe in Ould Ire
land, has been writin' of me a letther-a
love letther, pIase y er honor; an'-an'- ="
We guessed at her embarrassment, and
offered to relieve it, by reading the letter
to her. Still she hesitated, while she
twisted bit of raw cotton in her fingers.
"Shure," she resumed, "an that's jlst
what | want, but it isn't gentleman like
yerself that would be lkin' to know ov
the sacrets between US, and so (here she
twisted the cotton quite nervouSy) If 1t
i'll only phase yer honor, while yer radeing
it, so that you may not hear it yerseIf, if
y'I jist put this bit of cotton in your ears
an stop up ger hearln', an thin the sacrets
I'LL be unbekno,cn to ye"
We hadn't the heart to refuse her, and
with the gravesl face possible, compiled
with her request; but often since, we have
laughed hearty as we have related the
incident.
The man who attempted to look into
the future had the door slammed in his
face.
A facetous individual wishes to know
if "bee ine'' must necessarily have a
lUar end!
An exchange says, when David slew
Goliath with sling, the latter fell stone
dead, and of course was quite astonlshed,
as such thing had neuer entered his head
before!
A man in Cincinnati recently, cut his
throat because he lived next door to an
amateur trombone player. The coroner
held an inquest and returned verdict of
'Justfiable homicide"
A mother admonishing her son "a lad
some seven years of age), told him he
should never defer till to o-morrow what he
could do o.day. The little urchin re-
piled: "then, mother, let's eat the remain
der of the plum pudding tonight"
An auctioneer was much annoyed by
the low bids of one of his customers, and
offered five dollars to any one who would
put him out. A large, ferocious looking
individual approached the unfortunate Of
fender, and in whisper loud enough to
be heard all over the room, thus addressed
him: 'my friend, you go out with me and
will give you half the money"
An amusing and ingenious manner
adopted by little boy, in calling atten-
ton to his first pair of boots:-
The little fellow would draw up his
pantaloons and display the whole of his
boots; then walk up and down the room,
with eyes now on the shining leather, and
now upon friend of his father, who was
present; but it was bootless effort. At
length. however, he succeeded. Sitting
in front of both, he exclaimed:
"Father, amt three times two six?"
eyes, my son.''
"Well, then,'' SAID he, pointing to each
Of their feet, eff three times two is six.
