COMMUNAL FRLICITY-"HAPPY NEW YEAR
WITH A VENGEANCE.
Charles Donnelly and Ann Donnely, his wife, had
celebrated their New-Year holiday by getting socially
drunk and having twohanded row. They made
their appearance in Court, each with black eye and
homer baby the frs the result of their individual
pugstic Skill and the latter the product, probably,
of their mutual enterprise and ingenuity. Ann and
Charley had set out to enjoy themselves on the New
Years day. and in order to do honor to the occasion,
and properly to celebrate the day. they had determined
to give q grand social entertainment invite themselves
to dinner and have good time. In pursuance of this
laudabe purpose they had procured leg of mutton
peck of potatoes and five pints Of whisky. But Ann
and Charley had no utens of sufficient capacity to
hold all the whisky at time except the dinnerpot
which would be required TO boil the mutton in as soon
as the last litter of pigs had finished Their mornings
nap in it, Accordingly, they procured one part OF the
necessary LIQUID III the customary bottle, which had
once contained liquid backing, and the remainder in
the tin wash hand basin. Neither would trust the
other TO 90 for the precious beverage alone;
accordingly they went together, each with baby,
in order that if one distracted q sly drink from
the bottle the other might take retaiatory
swig from the washhand basin. When all things were
ready for the preparation of the dinner was discoy
cred that there was no wood TO make the kettle boil
Ann proposed that Charley should 60 out and find
some. Charley on the other hand, suggested that
Ann had better 90 herself Ann and Charley knew
each other well. Ann wouldn't leave Charley alone
with the backing bottle, and Charley was afraid that
if he deserted Ann for instant the washhand basin
would be too much for her. Ann dstrusted the bottle
Charley was jealous of the basin. Apprehensiye

basin. compromise was effected they went out
together each with baby-Ann carefully carrying
the basin, and Charley closely hugging the bottle.
The wood was procured the fire was made, the pig
ings were put out the kettle put on, the mutton
was put in, the was put over, the mutton was
finally cooked and all was ready for tue feast. They
didn't set any table, they didn't put any dishes on the
table they didn't set, and they didn't put their mutton
ON the plates they didn't have; but they did
take their mutton in their fingers, and eat it
without captfs. Simple Charley! Primitive Ann!
But all eating without any drinking was not the pro-
gramme so they drank by turns till they finished the
backing botte-dividing the allotment to each with
mathematical exactness, by counting the seconds
each drinking while the other counted thirty-one
more. Bibuous Charley Potatng Ann AT length
the bottle was enptied. Unsatisfactory bottle BY
mutual agreement, the washhand basin was reserved
for the desser-not 10 be touched until the destruction
of the mutton had been accomplished and the demo-

would be as good as his word and not attempt to in
