Two Liars There Were.

Patrick O'Mars, private in the lO4th Pa, went to the Colonel of his regiment, and asked for weeks leave of absence. The Colonel was a severe discipiuarian, who did not believe in extending too many privileges to his men, and did not hesitate to use sub terfuge to svade the granting of one.
 "Wen," said the Colonel, what do you want weeks furlough for?"
 "Me wife is sick and the childer are not we'll, and if ye didn't moind she would like to hove me home for few weeks to to give her bit of assistance.
 The Colonel eyed him for few min utes and said: "Patrick, I might grant yoar request, but I got a letter from your wife this morning, saying that she doesn't want you home; that you are a nuisance and raise the dick. ems whenever you are there. She hopes l won't let you have suy more fprloughs,"
 "Thot settles 1t, thin. IFsuppose can't git the furlough?"
 "rm afraid not, Patrick. It wouldn't be we'll for me to grant it under ths circumstances"
 It was Patrick's turn now to eye, the Colonel, as he started to leave. Stop ping suddenly, he said: "Can't ] say something to yez, sor?"
 SCertainly Patrick. What is itfp
