FATHER RYAN AND GENERAL
BUTLER.-We find in the Boston
Pilot of September 10 that when
General Butler was in charge of
New Orleans one of his Catholic
soldiers died. and it was reported
to him that the poet-priest, Father
Ryan, refused to read the burial
service.
In towering rage Butler sent
for the priest and demanded to
know why he refused the honors of
the church to the deceased.
Father Ryan quietly said sit
is not true that / have refused to
bury him. On the contrary it is
the reverse of true, for it would
give me great pleasure, General, to
bury the whole lot Of YOU

HIS WORTHY TRAIT.-He was
very rich, and, as is not as unusu-
al as it should be, he was success
full in love. At last he had foand
his ideal. She was, gay, frivolous
and poor, and she loved the great
world and its ways. Money was no
object to her. There are many who
do not differ from her very widely.
The day for the wedding was set,
and she began to grow careless.
She did not because she had always
been so. One day they had quar-
relied, and she said some things to
him that set him to asking ques-
tons of his friends. Then he came
again to see her.
He was in bad humor.
$780," he said harshly, "you are
like most women"
Il hope So" she replied.
He wasn't expecting that answer.
"You are like them in loving
money" he continued.
well, aad what of it?" she
questioned with scorn.
Everything" he said, angrily.
"Iou accepted me because l am
rich, and are to marry me for my
money.
1t was home thrust, and the
girl blushed and hung her head.
"Answer me-" he commanded.
"Answer me, | say. Would you
marry me if had no money!"
The girls wits returned on the
instant.
Good gracious" Mr.. Cashing
har1," she exclaimed, "you didn't
think I'd marry a man without one
redeeming trait, did your"
And Mr.. c. was sorry he hadn't
quit before he began.

EyADrSG THE RuLEs.-An Irish.

EyADING THE RELES.-An IRISH
man, driving bis donkey and cart
through a certain town, came TO q
tollgate.-Pat, being somewhat
short of cash, attempted to crush"
his moke through without payment;
but, owing to the vigilance of the
gate-keeper, could not succeed.
"Read the rules" said the gate
keeper "there they are"
"For every horse, mule, donkey
or other beast Of burden drawing a
two-wheeled vehicle, the driver Of
such shall pay the sum of 8 cents. :"
"Sure, and that's a beautiful
rule, it is entirely ; but it's meself
that thinks I'll not pay We the s
cents"
So, turning the donkey and cart
round, Patrick retraced his steps.
Suddenly a bright idea struck him
and chuckling to himself he unhar-
messed the donkey, put the harness
on himself and coaxed the donkey
in the cart, carefully fastened the
reins in the donkey's mouth and
again approached the toll-bar and
attempted to pass through.
"Hold." said the gate-keepcr,
''tip up the toll money"
"All right, me good man." said
Pat with grin, spake to the driver"

@- A young lawyer talked four
hours to an Indiana jury, who felt
like lynching him. His opponent,
a grizzled old professional, arose,
looked sweetly at the judge, and
said, "Your honor, | will follow
the example of my young friend
who has just finished, and submit
the case without argument" Then
he sat down, and the silence was
large and oppressive.

January 3O.-Last Tuesday several
freight cars went off the track near the
station at West Stewartstown and one
of them struck the tool house of the sec
ton men, completely demolishing it. The
men had but just come out from the
building when the car struck it.
The past week has been quite unlortu-
nate in the way OF accidents on the rail
road. Two or three cars left standing on
the side track near Comins Mill started
on little excursion Of their own running
down the track to the mill and one OF
them went into the mill completely
wrecking valuable planer and thatcher,
badly demolishing the building besides
wrecking the cars badly etc.
Several young men in this vicinity have
recently discovered decided preference
for n residence in the Queens Dominion
and have gone to reside there, but SO far
have made no arrangements for taking
their families there. Experience is a
good teacher but his methods of teaching
are sometimes severe.
