Old Deacon Il was the owner
and overseer of a large pork, packing es.
tablishment, and placed himself at the
head of scalding trough, watch in hand,
to tine the length Of the scald, crying
"heg in" when the slaughtered hog was
to be thrown into the trough; and "hog
out" when the watch told three minutes.
One week the press Of business com.
PEELED the packers to unusual hard labor,
and Saturday night found the deacon
completely exhausted. Indeed, he was
almost sick the next morning when church
time came, but he was leading member,
and it was his duty to attend the usual
Sabbath service if he could.
He went but soon fell asleep.
The minister preached sermon well
calculated for effect. His peroration was
climax of beauty. Assuming the atti-
tude of one intently listening, he recited
to the breathless auditory.
Hark they whisper; angels say"
"Hog inp' came from the deacon's
pew in stentotan voice.
The astonshed audience turned their
attention from the preacher. He went
on, however unmoved.
"Sister Spirit, come away

The DUrcHMAN's TRIcK-While u

Vermont, Yankee came up to him and
said, "Shon, if you treat to the cider,

Yank then placed his hand against fence

could befall him by doing so, struck a
hlackslnith's blow, but instead of hitting
Yank' $ hand. The latter jerking it way.

Poor Shon was bound to have revenge
so one day, as he was passing through a
field, he espied men. Going UP to him
he said "Mynheer, show you one little
trick for nodding." As there was no
fence or tree near, Shon put his hand
against his mouth and said, "Strike just
50 hard as you can" Mynheer struck,
and Shon pulled away his hand and re-
ceived the blow on his mouth, bleeding.
and commenced dancing with pain. "She-

Dried up for want Of rain;
How very queer the women look

But if their shoes are No. rs, y

And when they wear their dresses long

Carondeletlooks on the docks, and the
docks look on the river and it came
about that nearly mile from the Marine
Docks, southwesterly, there lived q large,
sunbrowned, honest lrishman, named
l)ennis -Htnne,sev, whose good nature
w:lS perpetual, and whose proverbial wit
Sparkled and rippled. like rarc cham
payne. In the morning his rollicking
song went seaward in the arms of the
river ripples, and at night they came
back to him in dreams of Erin and of
barefooted nymphs splashing and dab
bling lily wise in the limpid Shannon.
Dennis was Democrat. 1t did one
good to hear him shout for Seymour and
Blair, and there were blows, of. blythe
battle asleep in his shllelah when he
twirled it in Imagination upon the head
of an imaginary Radical.
By-and by, there came over from New
York young cousin, Jerry Larrimore,.
just as big as Dennis, and q. bitsof q Re
publican too, by the way. Dennis re-
ceivcd him with that hospitality which is
the religion of his race. They talked
home talk long and lovingly; they mixed
with the fragrant aroma of their service
able pipes the grateful incense Of steam
ing punches, and they crowded into the
night many dear, memories of the past
and its pleasures. Then came America,
and Missouri, and the wages, and the
prospects, and last Of all the skeleton of
politics stepped out from its closet and
hovsred over the feast. Jerry spoke up
quickly and earnestly for Grant; Dennis
said never q word. Jerry bore down a
littfeeAard upon Seymour; Dennis frown-
ed ominously and spoke quick then.
| :" Let us go to bed, Jerry; we'll talk all
about this tomorrow" A night-cap,"
worn as all night,caps should be, cap.
ped the dialogue, and the cousins re,
tired-Jerry to sleep, Dennis to ponder.
+ Breakfast was over; the sun was up;
the air was baImy, and the cousins were
in excellent spirits. At length Dennis
Hennessy spoke to Jerry fairly: ct
gives ME great pain to know ye fora
Radical, Jerry Larrimore, cousin of
mine as ye are, and | have this to say to
ye: will fight ye as fair as any man
ever fnnght, if ye will promise to vote
for Seymour and Blair, if | whip ye;
and swear to ye,. by the living poker,
that will swallow Grant, nagur and all,
if get the worst ofit." "lllegant," |"
cried Jerry, stripping off his coat, not a
whit set back, and mind ye. we musn't
get mad, and we must shake hands after
wards" eFriends it is. hit or miss" an
swered Dennis, and the two met foot to
foot, in. this singular encounter. The
struggle was long, severe and desperate.
Jerry handled himself in the most credi.
table manner and upheld the name of his
General with commendable prowess, but
the muscle of Dennis, hardened by stout
work, held out longest, until at last Jerry
failed to come to time, and yielded smi-
lngly. "hs all right, then?" asked the
victor. "Yis, be jabers, and | would
vote for the devil, begorrah, before I'd
have any more of your blows. Hurrah
for Seymour and Blair" Thus has an,
other good Democratic voter been added
to the list for November, and thus did
