tcurred on the New York Railroad, some
znonths since, forcibly illustrated the 'spower
OF politeness-" The seats were all full,except
one which was occupied by a rough looking,
but honest Irishman, and at one of the stations,
a couple of evidently we'll bred intelligent
young ladies came in to procure seats, but
seeing no vacant ones, were about to go into
back car, when Patrick rose hastily, and offered
them his seat, with evident pleasure.
"But you will have no seat for yourself" re-
sponded one of the young ladies with smile,
hesitating, with true polteness, as to accept
ing it.
ssNiver ye mind that" said the Hibernian,

catcher till New York, any time, for smile
from such jintlemanly ladiesn and retreateo
hastily into the next car, amid the cheers oil
