A Galveston Irishman has a bright boy, who reads the papers. The other day the old man asked Patrick, junior, he didn't return the change from the marketing. There was no answer, except that the boy muttered, "The toirant." "Have you fed the pig, Patrick ?" A stoney stare was the only reply. Then for about fifteen minutes there was a vision of a son closely pursued by a bare-headed father revolving around the house, until the latter overlook the former and yanked him over a water barrel. " I was only trying Boycott on yer father ; for the sake of ouli Ireland, leave me alone." " Its boy caught you are," panted the old man. " I will teach you to trifle wid the home rulers," and he reached out and gathered a barrel stave. The application of coercive measures could be heard four blocks off. A Paris paper tells of the good done by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in that city. A peasant was once beating his ass with great fury when a member of the society passed. ' How now, friend! Do you strike the companion of your labours ? That is wrong. Humanity has certain imprescriptible rights which spread abroad throughout nature. Come, good man, you should caress the unhappy creature, for thus much you owe him.' 'Yes, sir; yes, sir ;' and the peasant stroked the ass's mane. The member passed on, congratulating himself that the day was not lost to him. After he had gone a few paces, he turned round and saw the peasant, armed with a larger stiok than ever, beating the ass with great fury and saying at each stroke, ' Oho, you've got friends, have you —you've got friends ?' 'Don't you know it's very wrong to smoke, my boy ?' said an elderly-looking lady in a railway-carriage to young John Bull, who persisted in puffing a cigarette, much to the old lady's discomfort. ' Oh, I smoke for my health !' answered the boy, emitting a volume of smoke from his mouth which almost choked the old lady. ' But you never heard of a cure from smoking,' continued the lady when she had regained consciousness. ' Oh, yes, I have !' declared the boy, as he formed his mouth into a young Vesuvius. ' That's tho way they cure pigs.' ' Smoke on then,' quickly replied the old lady ; ' there's some hope for you yet!'
