"Faith and it is champagne you are

Hibernian.
"Certanly~
"By my sowl then, ye can't have it,"
'And why?' inquired Thalberg, in
much astonishment.
-."The likes of it, including whisky punch,
is not to be had in this hotel"
For moment the Thirsty musician was
aghast.
"What can have, then ?''
"Wather, tay and coffee" -,
"Go and send me the proprietor" said
Thalbcrg; 81 will speak with him.

but yell find it of no use" was Pats NUT
tered observation, as he Quilted the room:
In few minutes the landlord entered
the apartment. His lips were closel y set
together, and frown was on his brow.
He was evidently astonished that the
foreigner should persist in his wish to
contravene the rules of the establish
ment. Meanwhile, Thalberg had occu-
pied himself in opening piano that stood
in the room. 1t was not OF the newest
class, but was tolerably in tune. AS the
proprietor of the temperance hotel enter
ed he began to play. First the frown
gradually vanished from the brow OF the
landlord-then his lips unclosed, and
finally relaxed into smile. When the
artist had concluded, he waited for a word,
but mono came. Without turning around,
"The man is obstinate, / must try him
with something else." :.
lie accordingly began his "Tarantella."
Ere it was half finished he heard the
ratting of bottles and glasses on the tables,
and wheeled round. Pat had entered the
apartment with bottles of champagne.
II thought it was not allowed" said
Thalberg >,
"Faith! and he'll give ye dozen, if
ye like it. He says man who can knock
music out of piano in yer way, may get
dhrunk every night if he chooses to. SO
there it is for ye."

GEORGIA DRAMATIos-Away down

scenes of little comedy which preceded
the tragedy the lover pulled rose bud
out of the pocket of his trowscrs and
showed it to his hated rival, saying: 81
tuck her out of the kerridge, hoped her
in and she gin me this as momento."-

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
Law REGARDING NEWSPAPERS.

Some persons, imagine that they can subscribe
for newspaper and in whimsical mood cease to
take it from the post-ofce, and there their respon-
sibility ends; the reverse is the case, as will be
seen by the following.
Decision OF THE CoURTs.-Any person who
takes paper regularly from the Post Office
whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible
for the pay If person orders his paper discon-
tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publish
er may continue to send it until payment is made,
and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the office or not. The courts have decided
that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals
from the post-ofice, removing and leaving them
uncaled for is prima tacie evidence of intentional
fraud

This question is one of the hardest to

scribes his little party travelling over the
icebergs, and pictures them as they rest
at evening, when their freezing days jour-
ney is over, who can grudgo them the
pipe of tobacco they take with such calm
enjoyment after their coffee? Who would
have robbed Napoleon Of the snuff-box at
Waterloo? Who would deny the sailor
on his midnight watch, or the sentry OH
his round, the solace which he finds in his
acrid nepentho The plain truth about
tobacco isthat it is not a strong poison
enough to produce any very palpable ef-
fects on the health when used in small
quantities by people of average constitu-
tions. Yet l remember seeing famous
athlete decline cigar offered him, on the
ground that it would be enough to unfit
him for his performance, which required
perfectly steady nerves and muscles. A
danger to which smokers are exposed Is
injury to the temper, through the increas
ed irritability which the practice is apt to
produce, and to the will, which it is pow
erful to subjugate. This habit introduces
into the conduct of life one of the most
imperious forms of self-indulgence known
to human experience. Our State prison
