IRISH SONG.

When first saw young Molly
Sthritched beneath the holly,
Fast asleep ioreninst her sheep, wan dreamy sum-
mer's day,
Wild daisies laughin' round her.
Hand and foot bound her,
Then kissed her on her bloomn cheek, and softly
stole away.
But as, wild bushes burnin',
Tiptoe / was turnin',
From sleep she starts, and on me darts dreadful
lighfnin' ray,
Ny foolish, fowery letters
Scornfully she scatters,
And like a winter sunbeam, she coldly sweeps
away.
But Love, young love. comes stoopin'
Ger nv daisies droopin
And oh ! each flower, wild fairy power, the rosy boy
renews;
Then twines each charmin' cluster
In links Of starry luster,
And wild the chain, enchanting my colleen proud
pursues.
And soon met young Nelly
Musn melancholy,
Wild downcast eyes and startin' signs, along the
meadow-bank
And oh her swellin' bosom
Was wreathed wild daisy-blossom,
Like stars in summer heaven, as in my arms she
sank.

"He's had more fun than enough. He

He's had more fun than enough. He
was telling me the other day about a
sausage suffer his brother invented. 1t
was kind of machine that works with a
treadle; and Bill said the way they did
in the fall was to fix it on the hogs back
and connect the treadle with a string,
and then the hog'd work the treadle and
kept on running it up and down until
the machine cut the hog all up fine and
showed the meat into the skins. Bill
said ais brother called it every hog it's
own suffer- and it worked splendid.
But l do know. Pears to mes if there
couldn't be no machine like that. But,
anyway, Bill said 50.
"And he told me about an uncle of
his out in Australia who was ct by big
oyster once, and when he got inside he
stayed there until he'd ct the oyster.
Then he split the shell open and took one
for boat, and he sailed along until he
met sea-serpent; and he killed it and
drawed off its skin, and when he got
home he sold it to an engine company for
hose for forty thousand dollars to put
out fires with. Bill said that was actu-
ally so, because he could show me man
who used to belong TO the engine company.
/ wish father'd let me 60 out to find
sea-serpent like that; but he don't let
me have no chance to distinguishlmyself.
"Bill was saying, only yesterday, that
the Indians caught him once and drove
eleven railroad spikes through his stom-
ach and cut off his scalp, and never hurt
him bit. He said he got away by the
daughter of the chief shaking him out
of the vigwam and lending him horse.
Bill says she was in love with him, and
when l asked him to let me see the holes
where they drove in these spikes, he said
he darsn't take off his clothes or he'd
bleed to death. He said his own father
didn't know it, because Bill was afraid it
might worry the old man.
"And Bill told me they wasn't going
to get him to go to Sunday. school. He
says his father has brass idol that he
keeps in the garnet, and Bill says he's
made up his mind to be pagan, and be.
gin to 60 naked, and carry tomahawk
and bow and arrow as soon as warm
weather comes. And to prove it to me,
he says his father has the town all un-
derlaid with nitro glycerine, and as soon
as he gets ready he's going to blow the
old thing out and bust her up, let her
rip and demolish her. He said so down
at the dam and told me not to tell any,
body, but thought they'd be no harm
in mentioning it to you.
"And now | believe must be going
i hear Bill a-whistling. Maybe he's
else to tell me-"

A Manchester surgeon named Harri-
son, who had been suffering from tooth
ache, went to have the aching tooth
extracted. The dentist, Mr.. Williams,
tried to take the tooth out without gas ::
but Mr.. Harrison, being sensitive, wished
to have gas, and it was administered to
him in the usual way. The dentist
asked him to wave his hand when he had
had sufficient. The deceased was excited
from pain, and said he had had nothing
to eat that day, and could not live on
stimulants. Mr.. Williams tried, from
his appearance after the gas had been in
hailed, to extract the tooth, but the de-
ceased said he must shave the gas until
