A Smooth Drink.

| Dan says that, year or two he happened
to have in his employ, couple OF "broths oil
boys" who like all the jolly sons of "auld Ire
land, d" liked ga bit of taste of something"
consumedly we'll; and often INDUCED in it tc
his grievous annoyance, for, of course they al
| ways chose the most important moment to get
|. "cordialed.''
On one occasion, in her husbands absence,
Mrs. noticed that Pat and Mike had procured
supply Of the "cray thur aud slowed The
jug that contained it under deserted shelf in
the chimney corner.
Women, you know-God Dress 'em neverthe-
less-hardly like US of the sterner sex to ..li-
quidate, !" and with her sisters proverbial aver
sion to the '.red eye," my friends wife took
advantage of the ''merry dogs attendance to
their ''chores' and abstracting their jug, plac-
ed in its stead one exactly similar in appear
ance: outwardly SO, but not in its in 'ards.I
At night, the Toys bunked in upon the kitch-
en- floor, and Mr.. D. and his lady retired to
their room the door of which opened into the
kitchen, where they could have q view from
their bed of what might transpire between
them.
When Mike had given what he supposed was
ample time for the "boss" to 60 to sleep, he
hunched bis neighbor, saying:
"Arrah Pat, let's have a dhrap."
"Begorry, so say l. Mike; it's as dry e. a
chip, l am, entirely, this blessed night"
Up both sprang, and Pat reaching the jug
took it down from its perch, and in full view
OF Mr.. D. and his wife, who were watching the
motions, took a swig. But the expression Of
his face was anything but favorable comment
upon the contents. Mike noticed the eontor-
tons, and exclaimed:
"Pat, what the divil are you making SIGH q
bad look over the whiskey for?''
"Faith, Nike" replied his companion, recov-
ering himself, ait was no bad look at ali at all,
was afther making. l was afther thinking
what q smooth drink it was, sure"
"Hand over here" cried Mike, impatiently
and applying his lips, he took generous
raught
"BIurenages" he roared, rushing for the
coor, where Pat followed him, and the noise
OF their efforts at "heaving JONAH" made the
! ght hideous.
Ny friend and partner thought they would
crack their sides in bed. laughing over the af-
fair and the next morning. he went to the Jug
and shook it, but it was sadly depleted.
Mike he cried. addressing one of the two
as sickly looking Irishmen as ever complained
"what on earth has become of the linseed
oil?"
"Linseed lie, is it, sir? 81 exclaimed Pat, with
an air as though something had cleaned up
great mystery to him.
"Yes, l want some to Oil my harness and
see it's almost gone"
The poor fellow only mutteled, '.linsecd lie
it was sure; bad luck to it then ; it went down
mighty smooth"
This was too much for my friend, as he over
heard this observation. and he had to give vent
to pent up laughter, at which Pat "vamoused,"
but, in such high dudgeon, that the mention Of
smooth drink" wakes up the shillaleh in him
whenever one hazards to hint at it.

Turning Cay into Coin

!
That clay can be turned into coin has,
within few months, been satisfactorily
proved by NJ. Deville, aningenious French
man, who has carried his experiments into
clay further than had before been DONE
Wohler, well-known German chemist,
had taken step beyond Davy, actually
made lump of clay give up its silver, or
aluminium, as the metal was called; but 1t
was only in tiny globules, somewhat re.
sembling seed pearls in appearance. The
result was in no ways equal to the cost and
labor Of the experiment; still, a fact was
demonstrated. NJ. Devlle. however, pro-
duces the metal in such quantities, as to
make grave philosophers hold up. their
hands in amusement. AT late meeting
Of the Academy Of Sciences. in Paris, ihe
laid before the learned assemblage long
strips Of sheet aluminium, ingots Of The
same metal, and medals Of some inches In
diameter, which had been struck at the
Imperial Mint-all Of which had been1got
Out OF gay oy ms newly discovered pro
cess M. Deville says that this metal iisas
