PLUCKING RAT.-Irish girls are always

blunders and are generally so ludicrous and
funny that it is impossible to get angry at them.
At one of the houses in this city, lives one who

cricket, industrious as "A bee, and honest and
willing TO do, she of course is well licked by
those with whom she has taken up her abode.

he wanted it cooked for his dinner. Nelly,
with modest curtesy took the animal and pro

lady Of the house had occasion to 60 TO the
