"Well, Pat, my good fellow" said a
victorious Gen'l, to brave son of Erin
after battle, "and what did you do to
help us to gain the victory" ''Do,''
replied Pat, ''may it please your honor;
I walked up boldly to wun of the inimy,
and cut off his feet" "Cut off his feet!
and why did you not cut off his head,''
said the General. "Ah, and faith that
was off already" says Pat.

And now, do you know who this youne'

Who is fit who goes through an amount
of labor only to be equalled by the fel
lows who walk their thousand miles III
their thousand hours, You will nevc,
guess-and so do not mind telling you
She is the same young lady whom We
saw stretched out at full length on the
sofa, who looked so weak that she would
have tainted if any one had asked her to
walk across the street; who was so ner-
vous, that she could not bear the slight
es noise, or endure the smallest key-holc
of fresh air; who was so woe-begone that
she could not talk, laugh, or open her
eyes, nor touch single thing; so helpless
that she could not have moved off her
couch by herself, not even if the house
had been in aanies; who looked, in fact,
such a lackadaisical bundle Of shawls
and prostration, that you must have
doubted in your own mind whetsaer she
could ever stand upright again on her
two legs. Yes, sir, that young lady,
whose powess you have been wondering

At about 12 o'clock last night, the
sentinel near the monument became con-
scious of the rubbing of something against
the side of his watch box, which he at
first thought was his faithful dog; but,
on attempting to open the door, he found
it secured by a rope, which had been
drawn tightly round the box. Imme-
diately after, he perceived that some
persons were pasting paper over the
windows. He called to them, and ask
ed what was meant. and was told to hush.
He asked if they intended to iiljure him,
and received the same reply as he did
to all other questions.
He then heated aa iron poker in his
stove, and pressA Z it throagh the door,
burned the rope in two, and made his
way out lie soon found that his dog
had been poisoned, and was dead; and
on examining the ground carefully, he
discovered that the beautiful piece of
marble that had been presented to the
Monument Association by the Pope had
been broken into thousand fragments
We have no information as to whom slls-
picion rests upon in connection with the
deed.
