HOW THE SPARROwS

selling baking powder. He happened to
strike one town in which English spar
rows were great nuisance, and the
authorities had offered bounty on spar
row heads. The baking powder man
saw a golden opportunity to give his
goods big reputation, and offered to
extermnate all of the sparrows in town.
His proposition was gladly accepted.
"He selected large vacant lot as the
scene of his operations, and every even
ing he would go there with several
bushels of corn, which he fed to the
sparrows until they began to get &C
Equainted with him and came to the lot
in bigger droves every day. In the
meantime he bought barrel of empty
capsules, which he filled with the baking
powder, and then put salt on the outside
of them. When he saw that all of the
sparrows in town were coming to the feed
ground he had a large tank of water
placed there, and was there for the grand
climax.
"On this eventful evening he took his

lot instead of corn and threw them out to
the unsuspecting sparrows. OF course
the salt made the birds thirsty and they
Immediately flew over to the water tank
and drank, and the result was something
awful. The water melted the capsules
and made the baking powder rise. The
birds tried to stay on the ground, but the
baking powder was too strong and COM

wATHEN IN CHARGE.

The great whisky combine that recent
ly purchased nearly all the distilleries in
Kentucky have placed the A,herton dis
tilleries under the control and manage
ment of Mr.. James A. Wathen, one of
the best-known men in the business in
this State. Mr., Wathen may be said to
have been bred and reared in the dis
tilleries, and no man in Kentucky knows
more about making fine whisky. This
knowledge is what makes his services SO
valuable, and rumor has it that his salary
is princely one. Others made big efforts
to secure him, but the big combine knew
of his merit and ability and willingly
acceded to his demands.

THE IRISH RACE.
When St. Patrisk came to Ireland

When St. Patrisk came to Ireland
And saw its ancient race.
He soon conceived their character
Had courage, strength and grace;
He met their King in council with
The mobiles of the land
And by the force of argument
Brought them to understand
That the deity which they adored
Was but an orb of light
Commissioned at creations dawn
To tell the day from night
That He who ruled the universe
And babe the winds be still
Could blot away that solar speck
If so it pleased His will
Reasoning thus, he showed them all
The pagan blind belief
Which made them bend before the sun
AS their eternal chief;
Then holding up the shamrock, the
Trinity he explained,
The nature and the unity
Where equaled three remained,
And told how God placed everything
In His eternal plan,
Where nothing disobeyed His will
Save proud, imperious man.
And yet, said he, this creature, man,
When earth is passed away;
Is destined to life of bliss
Through Gods eternal day.
He ceased to speak and stiffness reigned
When 10! prince of state
Bowed to the King and calmly said:
"This God alone is great,
And believe that have heard
Today in Tara's Hall
That He who had raised the dead to life
In Jesus Lord of all"
The Ardrigh then-the high King, rost
And in his regal right
Proclaimed that God had Patrick sent
To spread immortal light.
The mobiles bowed, their homage paid
And round that royal board
They all declared that Patrick's God
Alone should be adored.
From that day forth through Erin's Isle
The emblem fair was seen
That symbolized the Trinity,
The little shamrock green,
So ever since the trefoil blooms,
Despite what tyrants say,
And decorates the fair and brave
On every Patrick's Day.
Though fifteen hundred years have passed
That race still true remains,
Be it in a Balaclaya charge
Or on Columbia's plains.
Yes, here they stand in freedoms land
Full twenty millions strong,
Their fittest place, this ancient race,
To combat human wrong.
For here twas shown on freedoms field
When loyalty was tried
That Britain's gold bought hireling
hordes.
But never Irish pride.
Hence Washington knew well their worth
In every nerve and joint;
When traitor Arnold sold the cause
He picked them for West Point.
And England's King at Fontenoy
In defeated rage did say,
"Cursed be the law that made us foes
OF Irishmen today"
Mcclellan, too, at Malvern Hill
Had fought the South in vain,
Till forward led, as Jackson said,
"That damned green flag again"
To history proves their prowess thus
By record rich and rare,
Which includes Napoleon's Waterloo,
For Wellington vas there.
That man is then who'd slur such men
A rebel deep and dark,
But, like the dog that bays the moon,
He'll never reach his mark;
For hell be classed the tainted tool
OF some ignoble band,
Who'd rather serve a tyrant King
Then aid Columbia's land;
Hence justice will denounce the scribe
Who dares untruths TO write
Of Sheridan, Shields and Meagher,
Their gallant race to slight;
And ever made such bigot bear
The stigma of disgrace,
To show the world in freedoms land
The reptile has no place.
