s@F Felkins has had some desperate
adventures in his time. Last spring, he
started for London. The third day out a
gale came on of the most fearful magnitude.
1t tossed the sea about SO that the only way
he got his trowsers on was to stand on his
head. Felkins is one of those young men
who see great deal of excitement in a
short space Of time.

Eccentric Anec.iofs.

During the late American war, SOL
der who had been wounded and honorably
discharged-but perhaps not paid-being
destitute and benighted. knocked at the
door of an Irish farmer, when the follow
ing dialogue ensued:
Patrick. And who are YOU?
Soldier. My name is J ohm Wilson.
P. And where are you going from. John
Wilson.
S. From the American army at Erie,
sir.
P. And what do you want here
S. want shelter tonight. VIII you
permit me to spread my blanket on your
floor, and sleep tonight!
p. DiviI take me if l do, John Wilson
that's fiat.
S. On the kitchen floor, sirs
P. Not l, by the Hill o How!-that's
fiat.
S. In your stable, then?
P. / will not do that either, sir,-that's
fiat.
am dying with hunger. Give me
but crus, and bone, ask no more.
p. will not-that's fiat.
S. Give me some water to quench my
thirst.
P. Beg and be hanged, I'll do no such
thing-that's fiat.
S. Sir, have been fighting to secure
the blessings you enjoy. have assisted
in contributing TO the glory and welfare of
the country which has hospitality received
you, and can you SO inhospitably reject me
from your house?
P. Reject you! Who talked word
about rejecting yous May be I'm not the
scurvy saplin you take me to be, John
Wilson You asked me to let you lie on
my floor. my kitchen floor, or in my stable.
Now, BY the power, dye think I'd let a
perfect stranger do that. when 1 have hall
a dozen soft feather beds all empty? Not
|. by the Hill o Howth, John-that's fiat.
In the second place you told me you were
dying with hunger, and wanted a bone
and crust to eat. Now do you think I'd
feed hungry man on bones and crust,
when my yard is full of turkeys and pigs !?
No, by the powers-and that's fiat. In
the third place, my honey, you asked me
for some water to queneh my thirst. Now
my water is none of the best, and never
give it to poor traveller without mixing
it with plenty of wine, brandy or whiskey,
or something else wholesome and copling.
Come into my house, you shall sleep on a
bed. and have the best supper and break
fast my farm can supply, which, thank the
Lord, is none of the worst. You may
drink as much water as you please, provi-
ded you mix it with plenty of wine or spir-
its. and provided you prefer it. Come in,
my hearty, come in, and feel yourself at
home. Ii shall never be said that Patrick
O'Flaherty treated a man meanly who has
been fighting for the dear country that
gave him protection-that's fiat.

bodies is to introduce third. The same
holds true in other departments. To in
crease the distance between pair of low
