The second class, are a set of broken-down
patriots and respectables, without trade or pro-

on our duties as repubIicans-informs US that
we should not only succor all the good-for-no-
thing, self.styled patriots who visit our shores,
but that We should give our countenance and
protection to the balance of creation-and they
find fools enough to tody them about the coun.

class hotel fare, undress military clothes, and
those other indispensable desideratums, brandy

till election day comes round having no other
trade, they embrace that of politics, with "of-

serve get them into the employ of Uncle Sam

chrystaline arch, keep up the same respiration,
and the same action of the blood and heart of
every fellow-being, wherever his destiny is cast
upon earth; greatness and nobleness, with ref

PADDY HEGARTY,S BREECHEs.
A scrap from the Guild Country, BROS
over by a Green.Horn.

ABORIGINAL.
AT the sign of the Bell,
On the road 10 Clonmel,
Paddy Hegarty ~lived-kept a *Shenn;
He sold pig feet and bread,
Kept a good lodging bed,
And was well liked in the county he lived III.
Himself and his wife,
They struggled through life;
All the week through Pat mended the bitches,
But on Sunday he dressed
In a suit of the best,
Though his pride was his ould leather drseches!
But age comes on fast,
When a mans youth is past,
With little OF fighting and drinking;
50 the morning he died,
He to his bedside,
Called Paddy, his dutiful son, in
Advice then he gave,
Ere he went to his grave,
He babe him take care of his riches
Said he It's no use
To walk into my shoes,
Unless you walk into my breechrs!
Last winter the snow,
Left pervisions so low,
That Paddy was ate out completely;
The snow coming down,
He couldn't get TO town,
Thoughts of hunger soon bothered him greatly.
One night as he lay,
And draining away,
Of fares, and tbrtedoks, and witches.
lie hears ali uproar
Just outside the door,
So ne Jumps up and streets on his breeches!
Says Bryan McGurk,
With a voice like a Turk,
Rise Paddy and give us some %ating!'
Says Big Andy Moore,
SWELL break open his door!
"Shpre, this is no time to be waiting!"
Well, the word was scarce spoke,
When the door came in broke,
And round Paddy they gathered like leeches;
BY the great Magog,
If they didn't get prog,
They would ate him elane oa of his breaches,
Then Paddy in dread.
Made up TO the bed,
That held Judy his own darlint wife, in;
And there they agreed
To give them a feed,
So he went and he brought a big knife in;
Then he took up the waist
OF his breaches the best,
And he ripped out the buttons and stitches;
And he cut them in stripes,
Just as if they were tripes,
hnG ne Dlled Them his OnHd leather brsrrLCst
The pot being on,
With the tigs near done.
The boys all cried out, Lord thank it,
But Hegar.y's wife
Was afraid of her life,
SO she thought it was high time 10 shank il:
10 see how they were smiling.
One would think there was billing.
mutton or beef of the richest.
Och! twas little they knew
or the leather 6urgoo,
Winch was makingo Of Pat 5 leather breeches!
They wailoped the stuff!
Says Andy. Its fought,
Paddy. you're no Judge of mutton!'
When Bryan McGulk.
On the prong'of his fork,
up a large ivory button!
"Och!'' says Paddy, "what's tha.7
Shure l thought it was tatr'
Bryan leaps on his feet and he screeches-
BY the powers above, :
was trying to shove
teeth in the flat of his breeches!'
Then they all made at Pat,
But he got out of that
de cut when ne saw them all rising:
Says Bryan. make haste,
And send for the Praist!
)clon! by the holy I'm pisonedr'
In revenge for the Joke,
They caught. up and broke
Allthe tables. the plates. bowls and pitchers.

The Dime Contribution at po,,s.

The Dime Contribution at the Polls.
The bee, in commenting upon the neglect of
the people in subscribing funds to finish the
Washington Monument, concludes with the
following paragraph. highly eulogizing the plan
which originated with the Sentinel, for raising
funds to complete this noble structure:
Nothing can be easier ban to secure by indi.
vidual contribution an amount sufficient to rem.
der the completion of the Monument within a
moderate time, a matter of entire certainty
Only let it be understood that at every election
in the different States, whether local or general.
a box conspicuonsly labelled shall be placed at
each precinct. and that every voter shall be. d.
rectiy solicited to furnish the sum-of ten cents
towards the building of the Monument-let this
be invariably practised, and we will venture the
assertion that from one t. two hundred ,thou>
sand dollars per annum will be collected, which
will constitute a fund upon which the associa.
tlon may at all times rely. The people have
manifested great willingness TO carry this plan
into effect. Wherever it has been tried, the re-.
suit has been most satisfactory. The chief
and indeed sole difficulty has been to establish
It as a fixed rule. If, for example, the Mayor,
oherIn or whatever functionary is charged with
the duty OF announcing the times and places
where elections are held, would simply state
