The Mr.. Russell who now represents the London
Times in the United States is the same gentleman
who was sent by that journal to Ireland to report
O'COnnelfs speeches during the Repeal agitation.
One Of the first meetings the newspaper man
attended was in Kerry. Having heard Of 0'COn-
nell's polite qualities, he thought he would ask
that gentleman's permission to take verbatim
account Of the grafton. The LiberatOr not only
consented but, in HE oliest manner, Informed the
assembled audience that "until that iinteman
was provided with oil writin' convaniences, he
wouldn't spake q word;" assuming an extra
brogue, which was altogether unnecessary. Rus
sell was delighted. The preparations began and
were completed Russell was ready.
Are you quite ready?' asked Dan.
"Quite ready"
Now, are you sure you're intirely readyr
"lm certain SIR Yes"
The crowd becoming excited and impatient, Dan
said Now. 'pon my conscience, ! won't begin

Men make terrible mistake when they marry for
beauty, for talent, for style: the sweetest wives
are those who ossess the magic secret Of being
contentcd under any circumstances. Rich or poor,
high or low, it makes no difference; the bright
little fountain Of joy bubbles up just as musically
in their hearts. DO they live in log cabin? the
fre-light that leaps up on its humble hearth be
comes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in an
Aladdin palace. Was ever the stream Of life 50
dark and unpropitiOus that the sunshine Of happy
face falling across its tnrpid tide would not awaken
an answering gleam? Why, these joyous-tempered
people don't know half the good they do.
