IRELANp-Declinc Of Pauperism--lt is
remarked that .paYperism is decreasing TO
such an extent in The provinces of Ireland
that some of the warehouses are all but
'enantless, and as this happy change is
likely to continue it has been proposed 10
anal gamate some of the Unions, in order
to get rid of staff Of officials whose du-
ties may be said to be no more than sim
ecure. In Dublin there are no such pleas
ing tidings to tell. There are. it appears,
100 provincial paupers in the North Dub
lin Union Workhouse, and the conse
quence is that for the support of these Wis
TORS the citizens are paying the rate of Is.
lid. on the pound. In the South Dublin
Union, matters are not much better, and as
yet no remedy has been devised to coun
teract this pressing evil.

Acting upon Principles.

Some years ago, during a soiourn il
Montgomery, it was the writer's good for
tune to be numbered among the friends o
Col. G. The Colonel was one of those in
whose breast the milk 6f human kindness
overf1owed. 1t was his misfortune that he
was never able to say no. And to sc
great an extent was this weakness carried
that it had become a notorious fact tha,
the Colonel would lend money to any one
on the first asking, rather than refuse it.
But SO often had his good nature been i'm.
posed upon, that he had established rule
for his own government, which he was al.
ways careful to explain to applicants 70,
funds, and usually did so after the follow.
ing style: "Want ten, do you! Well,
you can haven't. But when can you pay
it back? You see, I've got great deal
of money loaned out around and like to
keep it circulating, but | like to know just
about the time when it's going TO get around
back to me and l hate to be disappointed.
A man that disappoints me once never gets
any more money from me-"
Thus It became notorious that Colonel
G. would lend money to any one on the
first asking, and if they were prompt in
repayment, they could stake him for his
pile; - at least, so it was supposed.
Acting upon this supposi,ion, one X, a
notorious gambler, applied to the Colonel,
one day, for one hundred dollars, rather
doubtful of his success, however. G. was
staggered, but catching his breath, and
overcome by good nature, he replied :
!" Want a hundred ?-cer'ainly you can
have it; but when will you pay me back!
always want to know when my money is
coming in, as may want to use it else.
where. Fix your own day, but be prompt
on the day you fix; for a man who disap-
points me once never gets any more
money from me - f 4a
X. took the money, promising to return
