Corn in the Ear

A very intelligent Irishman tells the fol-
lowing story Of his first experience in Amer
ica r.Ie
came to this country several years ago,
and as soon as arrived, I hired out to a
gentleman who farmed few acres. He
showed me over the premises, the stable,
cow, and where the corn, hay, oats, &C..
were kept, and then sent me to get my sup.
per. After supper he said to me s'~,i" ~
James, you may feed the COW, and give
her corn in the ear:' went out and walked
about, thinking what could he mean? Had
understood him scratched my head,
then resolved would inquire again SO l
went to the library where my master was
writing very busily, and he answered with
out looking up, Il thought told you to
give the COW some corn in the tar.' o'sr@<
I went out more puzzled than ever. What
sort Of an animal must his Yankee cow be !?

were good, and the ears were like those Of

sweat, 1 entered my masters presence once

But the whole body OF Mackerals, sane and

su'sh blended with enthusiasm, at the re.

father to them all, that they never expected
to get step further while he was with
them.
There's piece o. domestic philosophy
for you, my boy.
When the General heard of his removal,
my boy, he said that it was like divorcing a
husband from wife who had always sup
ported him. and Immediately let fly the

much love your dear bosoms. As an army
you have grown from youth to old age un

gy we have achieved, the graves Of many
unripe Mackerels, the broken forms of those
disabled by the emancipation proclamation

you should vote for me as President Of the

There is no use in polishing them said
the man, for they would soon be dirty

Very true,' said the Dean, and he put
on the boots.
Immediately after he went down to the
landlady, and told her on no account to
give his servant any breakfast. The Dean
breakfasted, and then ordered his horse
out.
AS he was ready to start, John ran tc
him and said:
Mr.. Dean; havn't got my breakfast yet
'Oh,' replied the witty divine, there's nc

John finding his theory thrown back on
himself, submitted to the privation with

in front reading his prayer book, and tho
man behind at respectful distance, when
they were met by gentleman, who, ate,
