One" day a son of the Emerald Isle, travelling on the highway, after having just cut a shillelagh from a young planta tinn,, was met. by the owner, whr . demanded of Pat in an angry tone where be had cut the stick. Pat, turning to him, and pointing to the end, coolly replied, " Just right through there, sur." , Salutation.—Station-master, to suspicious looking lady (a^ed) who had just . entered a first-class compartment: " Are you first-class, ma'am ?" Aged lady : ••Yes, thank yon; how are you ?" A boaster in an hotel wns telling of the

many sections of the country which he bad visited. A fellow asked : " Hate yon ever been in 'Algebra?" "Ob, yes," said the boaster, •• I passed through on top of a stage coacb about a year ago." The rain was coming down by the barrelful as Gfilbooly stepped into Mo?e Scbanmbttrg's store. Mose wore a very floomly look. " Wby. Mose, what makes you look so blue ?" "No Yonder I looks plue. Mishter GilhooJy. Ii rains so touch all de times and I bas got a pig ■took of umprellas on hand." " I should think that rainy weather would be the tery time to mate hay wbile the sun •bines, bo to speak." No, sir; dot toi a great mistake.

If the peeble don't put down dose umprellas on the shop dere vas now umprellas-stolen den der vas no new ones bought." Just at this moment the sun ■bone out from behind a cloud, and its rays fell on the face of the smiling Israelite, . who looked. like one of the pictures of a saint with a beatific smile, with a balo about his head, by one of the old masters.
