The Warming.

In the summer of 179S, when society
IN Ulster was completely disorganized,
a poor woman, too weary to so fur
Their, was set down with her baby and a
large trunk at the inn door. A nights
lodging was requested, and the tired
traveller placed herself by the fireside
while supper was being prepared. Evil
looking men moved about the room,
and she saw them cast many chances at
the trunk, which was unusually large for
poor woman to possess. A good deal
Of whispering in Irish took place,
which she, being Derry woman, could
not understand; but the host, as he
sharpened knives upon the board,
seemed to nod toward her in a threaten
ing manner. 4 cock just then strutted
up to her, plucked her dress with his
beak and crowed loudly. Wiring his
neck, the villain!" said the host to the
servant girl. The bird few up to the
rafters out of harms way, but as soon
as the commotion was over he came
down again, and once more crowed
and plucked the travellers gown.
Much alarmed, the poor woman
rose up, and said, as calmly as she
could: "Iu so wee piece along the
road 10 look about me. Please take
care o my trunk, an III be back before
the supper's ready" No one attempting
to detain her, she left the inn with her
child. Walking quietly until out of
sight of the black lake sand gaunt frs,
she began TO run wildly along the road
toward the gap. i party of yeomanry
met her when she was almost exhausted,
and 10 them she told her story. 1t was
time when all houses were liable to be
entered and examined. The inn was
thoroughly searched; papers were found
duplicating the host in the rebellion,
ndhuman remains, as well as clothing,
silver and other valuables, discovered
on the premises, showed that travellers
had been made away with there. The
woman was conducted 20 her destina-
ton by the yeomaDrv. and did not re-
turn TO Derry until tie troublous times
we're over. She lived to tell her great
grandchildren how the cock had saved
ner life.-Bel0rGuiG

Useful Hints on Economy.

If every man of family would lay in

coarse to fine, and some rivets and burs
of the same metal; also, pair OF pin

and pair of timers shears or ships,

which person with very little mechan-
ical skill can save enough money every
year to pay the subscription price OF

broken articles about the premises.
With the rivets he can almost instantly
mend in a durable manner any broken
strap about harness, replace sundry
iron hoops on hollow ware, and will find
frequent use for them for other arti-
cles, often preventing loss of time in
sending to the harness maker or other
manufacturers. The copper wire will
come into frequent use in every house

ened by use, fractured or broken, such
as buggy-shafts or spokes-if On the
farm, rake, fork or hoe-handles, ETC.
by wrapping the wire tightly around
the injured portion, twisting the ends
with the pincers firmly and cutting
them off with the shears, neat, dura-
BILE job is accomplished. Copper wire
can be easily restored after having been
kinked by frequent use, by drawing it
forcibly around an iron rod or hard
wood. By the help of the shears,
joints Of stove-pipe can be shortened,
when required, and extra tin cans of all
sizes can be made to serve many useful
purposes. Leaks in roofs can be easily
remedied by inserting strips of tin two
inches wide and six inches long under
the shingles where they join. This
patchwork cannot be seen, as the strips
are covered by the shingles. Strips OF
tin tackled over knot-holes or season
cracks in floors, or to guard against YER

Napoleon's Domestic Habits.

In Mme. De Remusat's Memoirs of
the Private Life of Napoleon and jose
phine" are some very interesting de-
tails of the imperial household. Ma
poleon's income was about 81, 100000 a
year, exclusive of what he took from the
secret service and other funds. He al
lowed himself $4,000 year for his
dress. It is well known that if an article
of clothing did not suit him exactly,
either in make or material, it was con-
demned, aud that he was greatly given
to mixing or greasing his white breeches
and to burning his boots by using his
boot as a poker, especially when he was
angry or excited. He usually rose at 7.
If ne wakened in the night he frequent
~ bathed, ate or worked before going
to sleep again. He suffered from foul
stomach, and often fancied that he had
been poisoned. It took NJ. De Remusat
a long time to teach him to shave him
self; the Chamberlain was moved to
this through Napoleon's visible uneasi-
ness when in the BARRIERS hands. If q
garment did not please him it was torn
off and thrown on the floor or into the
fire. In trimming his nails, of which
he was vain, he used countless pairs Of
scissors, that were smashed of-hand if
they we're not sharp. The only perfume
he was partial to was cologne, of which
he required sixty bottles u month. He
ate and drank little, though he was very
fond of coffee. At dinner he had every
thing served at once, and fed at hazard,
often taking cream or a dish of sweets
before touching the entrees.

Political DueIS,

The practice ofighting political duets,
thought now confined chiefly to France
and Austria, was once universal. Three
generations ago every public party had
its Paul De Cassagnac. Within the
memory OF many men still living, g
young member OF the Irish PssSliament,
asking a veteran how he should achieve
success there, was answered, always
have your pistol ready" This was 10
figure of speech. Warren Hastings, at
a time when his fall would probably
have involved that OF British India,
risked life in a duel with Sir Philip
Francis, whom he shot through the
body, while himself escaping unhurt.
The Duke of Wellington's meeting with
Lord Winchelsea in Battersea Fields,
when the Iron Duke disdainfully fred
IN the air, has found place in history,
rs has also Alexander Hamilton's fatal
encounter with Aaron Burr. Daniel
OCoEnell killed his man," and was
himself wounded more than once. 4
very singular case of this kind marked
he later life of the famous Irish orator,
Henry Grattan, who disabled a Parlia-
mentsry opponent in a duel. A friend
of the latter came to condole with him,
and inveighed against his adversary in
no measured terms. "Hush," said the
invalid; there's a little fellow in tbs
chair yonder who wouldn't be pleased
to hear you" The "ittle fellow" was
no other than Grattan himself who
having watched for three nights by his
antagonists bedside, had just fallen
asleep from sheer exhaustion.

4 Fighting Tar.


We have recently heard an interesting
anecdote, by which one can deduce a
moral and adorn it into tale, OF how
second thought so often prevents vast
complications. There is Yankee skip
per from Maine, well known as o local
trader, Capt. Pitcher. He is, like most
Maine men, large-proportioned and pow
erfui. Some years ago he ran the krauz
from Washington to Boston, but has
been abroad since, trading between this
country and the Continent. AS the story
goes, British troop-ship, commanded
by an irritable, impetuous old dutfer OF
the Queens "navee," was at anchor IN a
foreign port. Capt. Pitchers bark was
being piloted in, and, through some
mismanagement, fouled the jibboom OF
the troop-ship. doing, however, little or
no damage. The old officer, in fury
of rage, howled:
Come on board, sir.
The Yankee skipper, not exactly know
ing what to do under the circumstances,
pulled in his gig to the ladder OF the
troop-ship, and mounted to the deck.
He was somewhat startled when, as he
stood upon it, the old officer called:
Sentry, arrest that man.
The skipper was astonished, but
quickly answered: Il am an American
citizen. I an ularmed, but no man
shall arrest me-"
arrest him, sentry. Don't you hear
me?" reared the Captain.
The sentry advanced to seize the
skipper, but was met with left-hander
that would discount a pile-driver.
Quickly the Yankee made for the gang
way, striking down every man who in
terfered, leaped into mis- gig, and pulled
Of to his bark. Straight to the Ameri-
can Consul he went and put his case be-
fore him. The latter told him he would
attend to the matter, and the next day
the skipper called. The Consul sat at
the center of the table; to his right was
the English officer, no other than Vice
Admiral Sir James Hope, E. G. g., in
all the splendor of full uniform.
Admiral Hope, Capt. Pitcher" intro
duced the Consul.
Captain, I am delighted to mee5
you,' responded the Admiral. "And
now let the war go on"
He spoke in the suavest manner and
with the sweetest of smiles. The skip
per bluntly said that he thought the
English officer should apologize.

friend. You came on board my ship,

"Of course it is. We are diplomats,
