Likewise for the sake av collectin yermoneys-
Wen take yer last shillin's, me boys, av ye

And thin, since our lives is such precious

B1RrH.-On the 9th instant at Printing
House Sqnare the Times of joke. Quoting
the opinion of Kohl, the German traveller, it
observes:-
"KohI, the German traveller, remarks that
owing to the discolored water from the oogs,
and the tawny hue OF Jhe bogs themselves,
Ireland is as much brown as green, and might
rs well have been called the Topaz as the Eme-
raid Isle"
Granting that an Irishman has a strong
affection for drop of the crathur or (rather,
perhaps, and) a bottle of Dublin stout, it is
surely stretching the pint to dub a whole
population Topaz.
VERY CHmD1sH.-A pious lady of our ac-
quaintance always takes her boys to Samuel
Brothers for clothes, on the ground that the
juvenile department must be conducted by the
Infant Samuel.
A NICE YOU'VE MAN FOR SMALL TEA TRADE.
The Liverpool Daily Post contains an adver-
tisement which seems to suggest that to
Gravel in tea" is scarcely less difficult mat
ter than to travel in Abyssinia:-
9s- WANTED, A MAN OF STRONG AND
robust physical constitution to Travel in the
Tea Trade; one not at all OF nervous or sus-
ceptible emperament, but capable of standing
grocers and tea dealers may infiict upon him.
Address, etc.
1t would seem that among the extras charged
at the ''nAodern SCHOOL, of tea dealers, the
proverbial twopence for manners is not in
/ cluded. This is to be regretted, for it will
afford ground for the revival of the old and
heartless joke about gross abuse and grocer
language. We entreat the tea dealers and
grocers to take warning, and amend their
| ways. Let them remember that the world
now has its Heyes-on their Pekoe dilloes!
"TUPPER'NoE MORE, AND Up GOES, Ero.'-
| We have been inundated with letters asking
us to inform their writers what is the correct
sum to give to the Tupper Testimonial. We
think-more especially as it is stated that no
account of the money will be rendered-thata
tupper.ny subscription will be the best thing
under the circumstances
A Coon HAUL.-Two friends of ours went out
fishing of Margate the other day. They only
caught one plaOce, but that was big one
| the bottom of the channel.
EVERYTHING by turns and nothing long,
A kaleidoscope.
WARRANTED NOT TO FADE.-How did Mr..
George Peabody write his six-fgure cheques
for the benefit of the London poorg With
sympathetic ink.
BoTANIoAL.-H Horticultural journals report
that the tallow-t tree of China has been sue
cessfully transplated to the Punjaub. Would
not Greece be a yet more congenial soil
OUR STARS The savants of the British AS
soCiation have pronounced that aeroltes and
meteOric bodies are the results of "dissipated
comets" Although we knew the celestial
luminaries were up all night, we were not
aware that they were of dissolute habits We
ask, therefore, in the deepest anxiety, whether
the constellation Sirius is "Jolly Dog" star
From, the TOmdhaaDk.
A PERTINENT QUEsTIoN.-When some very
strong complaints were made about the diet in
Irish prisons last session, the authorities in
dignantly asked, "What is all this stir about?'
Little enough, it would seem, to judge from the
following statement:-"At Mas GaOl the diet
is about a pint of 'stirabout' for breakfast,
some more stiIabout about 10 O'Clock in the
evening and a pound Of bread, and then
nothing more till breakfast next morning"
BREvITY IS THE Soul OF VITA Mr.. Witt
is sending round, by way of inducement to
subscribe to the restoration of an unknown
church, an Offering of a small black cat in
