them very good hit at the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors engaged in by members of the
church, and official members too.
Respectfully, JNo. S. MCGOWAN.
''That ERE is the Deacon for me-"
"Father said Deacon Smiths young son,
a most precocious wight;)
I had dream; and funny dream,
Was the dream dreamed last night"
"Well, son, what was the funny dream
That has put you in such glee?
Were to guess from your laughing phiz,
1 would say that you dreamed of me-"
"Falher dreamed-you will think it strange
Yet still it is true" 1 swore:- below
81 dreamed that the King of the country
Walked into your grocery store.
"The devil?" eyes father, the devil and you
Were drawing glass of gin
For Ambrose Jones-who browns his wits
And broke his babes arm in one of his fits
The ugly old imp of sim"
al dreamed that the devil walked boldly in
And swung his long tail in chair,
And asked if you wasn't deacon, he did
And without looking, you said that you
were.
The devil, he laughed, and he switched his
long tail,
And he grinned as he nodded to me;
Says he with wink, and the sparks few
like hail"
"1Aat ere is the Deacon for me-"

Committee of Relief had forwarded ten
tons of Indian meal for Clifden, which
were being conveyed around the coast
from Galway in "hooker, or fishing
smack. When passing Slyne Head, off
Errismore, the hooker was boarded by
crowd of men who came out in boats.
They declared they were starving, and
demanded the relief meal. The pilot
said he had but one life to lose, and
would lose it in defense of his vessel.
The raiders tried to drag the hooker on
the rocks, but were daunted by the dis
play of firearms. They broke open the
matches, saying they wanted nothing but
the relief meal. The master said it
was at the bottom of the boat, and that
the bags of meal on the top belonged
Clifden merchants, and had their names
on them, and that it would be piracy to
touch them. They were finally per-
suaded to leave without taking any
thing. The hooker arrived safely at
Clifden. 1t is rumored that gun-boat
will be sent to cruise in Galway waters
for the protection of provisions arriv-
ing by sea.

An Appalling Picture of the Distress
in Ireland.

A letter from Clifden, in the extreme
west of Galway County, written on thu
23d of January, has been published a
Dublin, which gives a terrible picture
of the position to which things have al
ready come all through that region
"Last evening Clifden presented an ap
palling picture. Crowds of ragged
famished men and women throngeC
around the doors of the meat-shops clam
oring for food. Many had waited up a.
through the night in the bitter frost be
sieging the houses of the Relief Com
mittee. Several thousands f1ocked into
town during the day, demanding relief
Several men seized members of the
committee, crying: 'We are starving
we must have food!' The police had to
be called in to clear the meat-shops Of
the mob. They gathered threateningly
around the house where the Relief Com
mittee were sitting. The Rev. Mr.. Cor
coran had to address them from the
window, imploring them to give the
committee two hours to arrange. The
crowd dispersed for time. Five hun
dred relief tickets for half bag of meal
each were issued the previous day.
There were still applications unpro-
vided for. Knots of men and women
remained in the street until midnight,
though the air was intensely cold. The
committees resources are now ex-
hausted. They are ESQ in debt for
meal. The demoralizing influence of
relief in charity instead of work is al
ready making itself painfully felt.
Charity has more than enough to do in
feeding and clothing school children and
helping the sick and aged. The first
day the new industrial school at
Ardbear opened over 800 children
applied for their breakfast. Owing to
the want of funds only seventy can now
be fed. The Sisters of Mercy are Civ
ing breakfast daily to 12O children, and
are doing wonders in the way of cloth
ing and nourishing the sick. Fever has
broken out at Carna. Four families are
stricken down in one village. They
have no food but what the neighbors
give for charity" The writer added
that "unless employment is provided
in q fortnight, deaths and disturbances
are inevitable A very serious acct
dent is also reported. The Liverpool

GELS. As for Sharley, she blinked lit
tie, then, nothing terriied-for was she
not used to the Post-office department.
she established herself on the table,
very much at home, and began to dress
her rumpled fur. The men were angry,
believing that somebody had been play
ing joke on them, and, as soon as the
mail had been distributed, they were
about to turn her out into the street, or
get a boy to kill her, when, noticing a
narrow brass collar round her neck,
they concluded to shut her up till morn
ing. and then, if the expressman or
route agent could not explain the mat
ter, she should be drowned without de-
lay.
Meanwhile Mr.. Potter was in great
concern about her. She had never been
missing beyond call for two hours since
he had had her. Every body who came
for the mail asked what had become of
Sharley; they were so used to seeing
her that they expected her to be in her
place in the delivery window. Her
master answered that he thought she
would make her appearance, though he
was afraid somebody had stolen her.
Two days passed, and no word about
her; he called, and he hunted, and he
inquired. Had some dog killed her?
No, she must have been stolen? But he
would make one more search-up in the
loft over the room, in the wood closet,
in the table drawer, in that old mailbag
on the f1oor-just then it was that some
thing came into his mind: Sc Dear mel"
he said to himself, "That's it; it is !!
She went off in the mailbag that morn
ing. She was smelling among the pa
pers of seeds. Well! If that don't beat
all! Poor Sharley! What has become
of her? never shall see her again.
Then it occurred to him that the bag
could not have been opened this side of
Jackson; and he telegraphed to the
Postmaster there, "Was there white
cat in the mailbag yesterday?''
1t seemed such an absurd thing to do,
after he had done it. But the answer
came.

That night of all the people waiting
to see what the mail brought them not
one was so anxious as the Postmaster
himself; and no one was more glad than
he when he saw amid the contents of
the bag paste-board box which seemed
to have the power of moving itself about.

how little meat is needed to make good
soups. The bones of a turkey, from
which all the meat has been cut, or the
rib bones of a hind quarter of mutton
from which the meat has all been re-
make good soup. The bones
from roasted piece of beef, or of NUT
ton, make good soups. 1t is better TO
boil the bones the day before using the,
soup, so as to take off every particle 81
fat. Put turnips, carrots, onions, with
a cup of rice, into the pot soon after it
begins to boil the second day, and let
all boil together three or four hours

A VINEYARD proprietor of the Haute
Garonne, France, while recently en-
gagged in tasting his wine, came to large
vat of the last vintage, and was shock
ed at what he described as its fantastic
flavor" He accordingly allowed it to
run off into other vessels, and proceed
ed to examine the bottom of the re-
ceptacle, when, to his horror, he dis
covered the body of one of his own
workmen, who had mysteriously disap-
peared last October. The comforting
piece of intelligence is added that the
authorities have forbidden the sale of
the wine, but the sequel is less satisfac-
tory to brandy drinkers, who learn that
the fluid, which has been undergoing
such unusual treatment, will be handed
over to the distillers.
