A POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY.

A small company OF young people
were recently sitting out on the piazza
In the evening, and the conversation
turned upon nationalities and birth.
One Of the gentlemen remarked that
both his parents were Scotch, but being
born in Canada, he claimed that he was
q Canadian by birth, and this view Of
the case elected considerable discussion
and opposition. "How would it be-"
asked one, "if child were born OF
cling In England; would he be an Eng
lishman by birth ?" "And, yes." chimed
In one of the young ladies. thoughtfully,
suppose child were born on the
ocean, it might happen, you know, on
their wedding trip" And then there
was an intense and painful silence, until
some one made the startling discovery
that 1t looked like rain.

nearly thousand citizens for the pro-

stood guard with Gen. Basil Duke, John
Mergan's most dashing lieutenant, and
