Eccentric Hospitality.

DURING the late war soldier who
charged, being destitute and benighted,
knocked at the door Of an Irish farmer
near Pittsburg, Penn, when the follow
ing dialogue ensused:
Patrick-And who the divis are you,
now?
Soldier-My name is John Wilson.
Patrick-And where the divil are you
going from, John Wilson,
Soldier-From the Army Of the Shen-
andoah Valley, sir.
Patrick-And what do you want here?
Soldier want shelter tonight; you
will permit me to spread my blanket on
your floor and sleep to-night7
Patrick-Divll take me if / do, John
Wilson.
Soldier--On your kitchen floor, sir :?
Patrick-Not I, by the Hill O Howth.
Soldier--In your stable, then?
Patrick-Im hanged if I do that
either.
Soldier-Tm dying with hunger, give
me but bone Or crust; I ask for no
more2
Patrick--Divil blow me if 1 do, sir.
Soldier-Give me some water to
quench my thirst, beg CT you?
Patrick--Beg and be hanged, I'll do
no such thing.
Soldier--Sir, have been fighting to
secure the blessings you enjoy. have
assisted in contributing to the glory and
welfare of the country which has hos
pitably received you, and can you so in
Hospitality reject me from your house
Patrick-Reject you Who the divil

asked me to let you lie on my floor, my
kitchen floor, or in my stable; now by
the powers dye think I'd let perfect
stranger do that, when / have half a
dozen soft feather beds empty No, by
the Hill O. Howtll. John, that I won't {!
In the second place you told me that
. you were dying with hunger and wanted
bone and q crust to eat; now, honey,
dye think d feed hungry man on a
bone and crust, when my yard is full of
fat pullets and turkeys and pigs! No,
by the powers, not that's fat. In
the third place, you asked me for some
simple water to quench your thirst now
as my water is none Of the best never

ing it with plenty of wine, or something
else wholesome and cooling. Come into
my aouse, my honey; divil blow me,

"And now said John Alexander,

oval, Jim agreed" murmured the
sweet Mary Joan, but as she spoke her
spoke her voice tremblcd and tear
drop pushed itself out of one of her
eyes.
To tell the truth about the matter,
Mary Joan felt somewhat disposed 10
back out.
John Alexander poured a few words
of fire and consolation into her ear and
together they started for the residence
Of old Parson Whackletaker.
When they arrived there John Alex
ander lifted up his voice, which by the
way was an excellent voice for driving
oxen, and he shouted.
"Hello, Parson Whaciletaker =
And Parson Whackletaker jumped
out of bed. flung up . window and asked
in frightened voice.
"What's broke P
"Nothin's broke replied John Alex
ander, sonly me-that is Mary Joan Hol-
lycob and want to get spliced, and we
want you to do the job and if you do it
right I've got v for you
"All right said the parson and he
put on his trowsers and came down
stairs, s.Now,' said he as he opened the
door; come in and I'll fix the business
for YOU
Accordingly John Alexander and
Mary Joan marched in and were made
one, then they marched out again and
home. Mary Joan went to her home
and John Alexander went to his home.
The next morning as the sun was
peeping over the hills Mary Joan jump
ed out Of bed, tore her way down stairs
and astonished the family by telling that
she was married, and that she was now q
Scratchabout.
A scene of the widest confusion en-
sued. The old man and the old woman
.'took on" about it for an hour or two
and then they told Mary Joan to pack
up her duds and be off.
And Mary Joan packed up her buds
and few to the arms Of her John Alex
ander.
John Alexander Scratchabout was
only q cooper but he was honest, tenn
perate and Industrious and in the course
of time he began to rise in the world.
And when he began to rise the old folks
"coved' and now they think "a power
of Alexander Scratchabout and his wife
Mary 10 an Scratchabout; and the Hol
lycobs and the Scratchabouts are now
about as thick as it is possible for two
families to be.
Reader, my story is told. It is a true
one.
