of the flag, she exclaimed, clapping her
hands ooh, pa pa God made that flag
see the stars !" A shout, deep and loud
went up from the column, aud many a
bronzed veteran lifted his hat as he passed
the sunny haired child, resolving, if his

Hibernian Wit and Blunders are an mex

periodical press obtain material for the greater
portion of their mirth-creating articles. The
following is good specimen. A newly swan

brought to New York by the Great Eastern,
and thence to Atchison on the lightning train,
writes home his impression Of matters and
things thus:

Dear Biddy, I'm here on the prairies of Kansas

Dry, weary and foot-sore, and glad that the
journey is past;
They've got no shillalahs, turf-stacks nor mire
But worse than the course of the crows is the
fire,
Which goes on q rampage lin reason to speak
Let me see-why yes-fuly three times week,
And burns up creation "a fact assure you)
From golden Pixies Peak to the muddy Missouri.
In large iron boxes their fires are shut up,
And that how they cook both the " bit and the
sup"
T is very convenient, tell you it is,
As they d burn up creation if twas MT for this
And, whisper, ''acashla," I've got one for you,
A splendid BUCKS PATENT bought from
JAKE LEU,
Who has stoves without end in size and in shape
And sells, as his rivals say, shamefully ''chape.
And we can assure our readers that Pat was
correct, for JACOB LEU has got q supply Of
Stoves and Stove filings surpassed by meme

reasonable in the western country. Those who
