A young lady, just from the semi
nary, being asked at the table if she
would have some more cabbage, re-
piled: "By no means; astronomical
safety admonishes me that I have
arrived at the ultimate culinary degi-
tation consistent with the code of
Esculapius." AS she drew back from
the table, it was concluded that she
meant she had "eaten heap"

"Jam-Bo-Ree Us
BY JOHN HAPPY.

Young Jam-Bo- Rec, q boy about thirteen
years old, son to the Bar-keeper Of the
PhreeaneeZie Saloon, remained az his post
In the back room, Tin q single-handet
game OF euchre,) after the party" had
broken up in general "bust," and ey CRY
hand" had been abandoned, except his
own and that OF one remaining adversary
The boy held on to the greasy "deck,"
~ Whence all but him had fed;
Inc lamp threw its light on his last red
And he hadn't another "red."
Yet beautiful and bright he sat
AS born to win or lose,
With the ace of trumps hid under his hat,
AND bower" or two in his clothes.
The game went on-he would not go
without his fathers word;
That father drunk, on the floor below,
His voice no longer heard.

de knew not the chieftain lay
Unconscious Of his son.
"'Speak, fatherl" once again he cried.
"Pm playing my best FOR EvEN"-
~'And"-but the man on the other side
"Ordered him up on the seven."
His countenance fell when his ear caught
tnat,
But it wasn't time to grieve;
so he played him the ace from under his
hat,
And the 'tright-bower" out of his sleeve.
And he shouted loud once more at last,
My fatherl must stay?"
While DER the table thick and fast
The futtering s'paste-boards" play.
The tallow-dip burned ftfully wild
And fickered up on high,
And cleaned in the face Of the gallant
And nearly blinded his eye.
It fickered up and flickered down,
And at last disappeared in the socket;
And the man at the table who "hailed
from the town.
Slipped all of the stakes in his pocket.
And then with burst Of thunder sound
He kicked over the table and chairs,
And cleared the door with q single bound,
And slid down the bannister stairs.

These candles was all burnin' and
they made the room lighter than it
would have been if they hadn't been
lighted. There was flowers, too, and
there was some fourteen to drink.
The "wake" lasted till mornin', but
the dead man didn't wake. I don't

although it was all done for his bene-

A. Head In Ireland.

have before stated, on my way to the
Paris Imposition, ] did not want q
public demonstration in Ireland on
my account, as was travelin' for my
health, which had been somewhat
injured by falling out of the fourth
story window onto the sidewalk when
q small girl, and which cracked my
head; it was very inconvenient, but
no disgrace, as q good many people
have had their heads little cracked
and never seemed to get over it in
their old age. Sometimes, instead of
some people falling onto the side
walk, the sidewalk has come up and
struck some people. This has hap
pened when they have been going
home from "the lodge" late at night
A wife can generally tell when her
husband has been ''to the lodge" by
the smell of his breath.
There was o man-not that man,
but another man-who went home
from 'the lodge" very late one night,
and his wife had gone to bed. He
went to bed and turned his back, to
his wife SO she couldn't smell his
breath. But this wife was sposted"
and she sung out, affectionately, "you
needn't turn your back to me, John,
you are drunk clear through"
The men in Ireland never get
drunk. They don't have anything to
get drunk on stronger than whiskey.
and that is used for fattening the
pigs. The people are mostly Irish,
speaking the Irish language, and the
hotels and boardin' houses are kept
on the Irish plan. Oftentimes they
have pigs roasted whole on the table,
and whole pigs unroasted under it.
The pig element is large in Ireland.
The iron used in the blacksmith shops
is "pig iron" Notwithstanding all
this, the people are not hog-isb, but
are very horse-pitable.
The principal productions of Ire
land are pigs, peratees, poultry and
pugilists. The Fenian part of the
population are raising cain now,
though. They will probably have q
"saoeet time of it!'
The girls of Ireland are pretty.
Those varying from ten to sixteen
years of age are mostly young as we'll
as pretty. These informations are
not generally found in published
books of travel.

nigaps took me for q British spy,

THE SECRET SIGN.
\ SKETCH OF THE SOUTHERN
CAMPAIGNS.
DY MRS. NJ. f. ROBINSON.

In dcsulatc, rugged valley, the American
army were cncampcd for the winter The dis
tancc from Philadelphia hi ght be about twenty
miles, in Il nortl-wcstcrly direction. The CON
diti"n of the troops was lamcntablc III the cx-
tremc; and the only wonder is that they did
not sink under their accumulated misfortuncs.
The winter was most rigorous one they were
without shoes, blankets, or provisions their
course could be traced by the tracks of their
bleeding fcct cruelty cut by the ice, while their
only shelter from the cold and piercing blasts
were rude log huts, constructed to accommo-
date twelve men each, within which, upon the
damp ground, was scattered straw for ''eir
beds
1t is indeed surprising that hope did not
give place to despair; but the intense desire
for liberty, and an unshakon belief in the Just
ness of their cause, enabled them to chccrfuly
endure hardship and privation.
During this time the British had possession
of.Philadclphia, and were riotng to excess !;
luxury and rcvclling were the order of the day,
and the possessions of the brave men they we're
striving to subduc, wantonly appropriated to
their use, while the rightful owners were strug-
cling under the pressure of uncqualcd suffer
ing for the love of country
Paper currency was almost worthless, and
but little specie being in circulation, farmers
were disnclncd to part with their produce,
and those indeed were fortunate who obtained
a sufficient supply for their daily wants.
Many of the whg families who remained III
the city were robbed by the British soldicry,
who left them but little or nothing to subsist
upon. The ladies, however, with cars ever
open to the calls of charity, carried food from
their own tables to the American prisoners,
and did all i'll their power to relieve the wants
of the destitute. y few had friends without
the city, who watched every opportunity to
send basket Of provisions or little money to
their suffering relatives. These 'acts of kind
ness wore attended with considerable risk, and
numerous arc the instances of life and liberty
being hazarlcd for the sake of doing good.
a farmer by the name of Israel, who resided
in Wilmington, had n mother remaining in
Philadelphia. He feared her slender means
wcro exhausted, and resolved, i'll some manner,
to aid her.
81 cannot divcst my mind of the idea that
my mother needs assistance" he remarked, one
morning to his wife.

have no reason to suppose that she has escaped

apprehension in regard to the character Of this
person. Instead Of coming among us as a spy,
it was to bring relief to parent in need. do
not think it advisable to proceed further with
the case
In this opinion the others fully concurrcd,
and Mr.. Israel wasacquittcd. This was not all;
he was treated with the greatest hospitality by
the British officers loaded with gifts for him
self and wife, and, us an additional mark of
distinction, was sent on shore in an elegant
barge. For this remarkable escape he was in
