inGs and His own Money
The New York Herald says; a young
Irishman in want of a IS note wrote to
his uncle as follows:
Dear Uncle-If you could see how I
blush for shame while am writing, you
would pity me. Do you ask why? Be
cause I have to ask you for few
pounds, and do not know how TO express
myself 1t is impossible for me to tell
you. I prefer to die.
L send this by messenger, who viii
wait for an answer Believe me, my
dearest uncle, your most ohedlent and
affectionate nephew.
"P S-OVercome with shame for what
I have written, I have been running
after the messenger in order to take the
letter from him, but [ can not catch him
up Heaven grant that something may
happen to stop him, or that my letter
may get lost"'
The uncle was naturally touched, but
was equal to the emergency. He replied
MY Dear Jack-Console yourself, ant
blush no longer. Providence has hearC
your prayers. The messenger lost youl

a felony on condition that property and
money to the amount OF 100000 shonl6

paying their liabilities with the funds
stolen from the state. The evidence
showed they had attempted to carry
out the scheme with fraudulent intent

When I let the years and the agezrSeo

The bliss that has never been.
What wonder that still love to speak
OF this kingdom grand and free. .-.-
