The individual inveighed against, not being
present, only heard of the invectives. After
Darlington, however, had got back to Dublin,
the Tipperary man lost no time in paying his
compliments TO the counsel. He rode all day
and night, and, covered with sleet, arrived be-
fore Barringion'S residence, in Harcourt street,
Dublin. Throwing the bride of his smoking
horse over the railing of the area, he announced
his arrival by laundering knock at the door,
which nearly shook the street. Barrngfon'S
valet answered the summons, and opeDing the
street door, beheld the apparition of rough
coated TiPperary fire-eater, with large stick
under his arm, and the sleet sticking to his
bushy whiskers

IN voice that gave Sopr intimation OF the OBJ
lject of bis journey.
| "No," answered the man.
''fhen give him my compliments, and say
Mr.. Foley (he'll know the name) will b. glad 10
see him."
! The valet went mp stairs and told his mas
ter, who was in bed, the porport Of his visit.
'Fhen don't let Mr.. Foley in for your life"
said Darlington, ''tor 1t is not a bare and

''You do not mean to say you would murder

honor as cool courage.
"No," replied the other, shut get up as soon

''No," replied the other,"I pledge you my

and making himself very comfortable, and

The Tipperary salamander looked marvellous
ly astonlshed at the pretended sleeper, but soon
DANES began to snore-
''Haloa !" said Mr.. Foley" aren't you 60
ing TO get up?'
"No," said Daines,"I have the honor OF an
irish gentleman that he will not strike me in
bed, and am sure am not going to get up TO
have my bones broken / will never get Up
again. In the meantime, Mr.. Foley, if you
should want your breakfast, ring the bell the
best in the house is at your service. The
morning paper will bA here presently , but be
sure to air it before reading, for there is nothing
from which man so quick catches cold, as
reading a damp Journal" and DANES once
more affected to 60 asleep
The Tipperary man had fun in him as well
as ferocity, he could not resist thr cunning Of
counsel, so laughing aloud, he exclaimed:
''Get up Mr. Darlington, for in bed or out
of bed, | have not the heart to hurt so droll
man.
The result was that in less than an hour af-
terward, DANES and his intended murderer were
sitting down to warm breakfast, the latter
only intent upon assauIting a dish of smoking
chops.
MUsK.-This we'll known scent is imported
from China, Bengal and Russia. 1t has Bit
terish and somewhat acid taste, and in color
resembles dried blood. This scent is obtained
from the musk deer, and possesses most pene
trating and diffuSve odor, rather agreeable when
feeble, but when concentrated it is decidedly
offensive so difusive is its power that a few
grains will scent room for years, and it never
seems to fade in strength. Tonquin musk is
the most esteemed. Pod musk is the natural
bag containing the musk, and each one weighs
about six drachms, having ir each about eight
scrupleS of pure musk. II is generally more
or less adulterated, but the adulterations are
easily detected under the microscope or by an
alysis.
GENIUs.-He is not the greatest man, who
with giant intellect, can starle the multitude
as with sudden thunder. The impression left
behind is not agreeable and lasting. He who
would STIR up the soul, must have a calm sYmpa-
thizing heart. 1t is this which vibrates through
the human heart, leaps IN the warm pulses,
and urges us to deeds of mercy. The man
whose sympathies are with common humanity
whose heart is moved bv pure benevolence,
breathes thoughts that will never die-Like

love is thus felt in the heart. Such aeawriter
blends genius with humanity, and is destined
to sway the multitude and urge them on 10 deeds
of mercy and unending glory. {
