I -t V VJ1 r3 f -- --- mM I II , , ,5"f I THE BIRTH OF ST. PATRICK. Respecting the uncertainty of the birthday of St. Patrick, Samuel JLever, an Irish poet andllko many of his countrymen, n great "wit, wrote the following humorous account: On the eighth day of March It was, somo poo pie say. That St. Patrick at midnight he first saw the day, "While others declare 'twas tho ninth" ho was born. And 'twas all a mistake between midnight .and morn ; For mistakes will owar In a hurry and 1 shock. And some blam'd the baVy and some blam'd the clock Till with all their cross-qtestlons sure no " ft " one could know, i,il1-rIf the child was too fast-or tie clock was too slow. a. iXZovr tno first faotlons fight It old Ireland they say, ; ' "Was all on account of St. Patrick's birthday. , i Some fought for the eighth fcr the ninth more would die, .,And who wouldn't see right, surt they black- ened his eye ! At last both factions so positive grew. They each Kept a birthday, so Pat had two. 'Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them their sins. aopne has two birthdays, without ne Says he, "Boys, don't be flghlln for nine, Don't be always dlvldln' but sometimes combine; Combine eight with nine seventeen Is it mark, Jte- So let that be his birthday." "Amen," says .tbe dark. If he wasn't twins, Bure our history will show That at least he's worth any two saints that we know!" Then they all got blind dhrunk which com pleted their bliss, And wo keep up tho practice from that day to this ! ! - M ILLINOIS WEDDING. t 1 At the age of eighteen I married a minister. .Eugene Morris was my first and last love; and though, I must in truth eay that the life of a minister's fs a sort of refined slavery, still I have nev er for a moment regretted my choice Eugene's first call, after our mar riage, was to the village of Urookbo ro a small place in the State of Illi nois. Our home was primitive, but I had brought with me many luxuries from the east, and we both were young and hopeful and life was not unpleasant to us. I, of course, encountered the trials of most minister's wives. I was criti cised and found fault with, until I wondered if I was not the incarnation of original sin itself; and I frequently had doubtB whether anybody In tho world was to .be held responsible for their ill deeds but myself. My parish ioners were exceedingly faithful in pointing out the beams In ray eyes. If ever a woman had incentives to re forms in the advice of friends, then I had ; not a day passed but I was ad monished In some way. Miss Splltwood Bald I dressed too muoh. The minister's wifo ought to set a better example before the young lings of her flock. I laid her admoni tion to heart, and took the trimming off my bonnet, and wore it with noth ing but the oape." Then Mrs. Hale oalled to tell me that it was a disgrace to the parish, wearing suoh a dreadful bonnet. People would think that I was of the Quaker peasuasibn. SoT put the trimming on again. Then old Mrs. Stanley met mo on the street, and said so much blue ribbon was unbeneflttlng to the wife of a preaoher of the gospel ; so I laid the blue aside, trad appeared in brown Aunt Sally Lane oallecFthe next day before breakfast to know who of my folks were dead bco had noticed that my bonnet was trimmed In mourning. If I called on a Tow of my pariah rboy said I was gadding, and pitied -poor air. Morrison dreadfully ;" if I staid at home, I was "too stuck up to visit poor folks." Just as surely as the supply In mv larder ran low, I would have an In flux of company and the air of Brook boro was peculiarly favorable to the growth of appetite. All the straggling ministers, tract agents, beggars and vagabonds oame to the personage ; and we were oblig ed to entertain them, because Eugene said, by thus doing we might enter tain angels unawares. In endeavoring to do his oommand I gave shelter to a man who called himself a colporteur, and who proved his right to wear rings by stealing a dozen siilver napkin rings and a but ter knife, given me by my sister. - But I did not intend to write my own personal history I was going to give you a glimpse of an Illinois wed ding. On fine day in the early winter, my husband received. a summons to Burke's settlement to unito'a couple In the bands of" wedlock. It was es pecially requested that his wife should aoeompanyhlm, and we should be expeoted to remain over night and partake of the festivities. It wa?fwenty miles to tho settle ment and we reached the log house of Mr. Jaurke, the father of the expeot ant bride, about noon. A dozen tow haired children were at the door awaiting our arrival. They tolegraph- ea.tne news instantly. ""Marm! marm! here's the Elder end his woman! They're nothing but folks ! She's got a man's hat on, and a turkey wing in the front of it ; and his nose is just like dad's crook ed as a cow horn squash!'' Alas for Mr. Morrison's aqualine nose, of which he was a little vain ! "Sara! called a shrill female voice from the interior of the cabin, run out and grab the rooster, and I'll clap on the pot! Sal, you quit that churn and weep the floor. Klok that corn dodg er under the bed ! Bill, you wipe the .tauer ont or that cheer for the minis ter's wife, and be spry about It !" Further remarks were cut short by by our entrance. Mrs. Burke, in calioo short gown, blue petticoat and bare-feet, came forward wiping her face on her apron. "How do you do, Elder? how'd ye do marm. Must excuse my head hain't had no chance to comb since 'last week. Work know. Powerful sharp air, hain't It? Shoo, there ! Bill, drive that turkey out of the bread trough ! Sal, take tho lady's things. Set right up to the Are, marm. Hands cold? Well, just run 'em in Bill's hair wo keep K long a purpc se." Bill presented his shaggy head, but I declined with an involuntary shud der. "Law, if she ain't PtiHy shiver ing?" cried Mrp. Burke "bring in some more wood. Here, marm, take this hot corn dodger Into yer lap it's as good as a boapstone." A fatal squall announced tho execu tion of the rooster, and shortly after h wa3 bouncing ubout In a four-pail kettle hung over the fire. Sal return ed to her churn, but tho extraordina ry visitor must have made her care Jess for she upset the concern, and butter and buttermilk went swim ming over the floor. "Grab the ladle, Bill," cried Mrs. Burke, "and help dip up. Take keer, don't put that snarl of a hair in. Strange how folks will be bo nnsty. Dick, do keep yur feet out of the but- Joreightor leriuuu it won't De Ut tor tne pigs when the butter is gathered. Drive that hen, be quick she's picked up a pound or butter already. There, Sal, do try and chum a little more keerful. If you are a gwlne to be spliced to-morrour, you needn't run crazy about it." "I'd advise you to dry up!" remark ed the bride elect, thumping away at the churn. By the time J gotifairiy warmed, dinner was ready and you may be sure I did not hurt myself by over eat ing. S"ight came on early, and after a so cial ohat about tho eventftif the mor row, I fciunifled my deslrelto retire. Sal lighted a pitch knotfand began climbing a ladder In one corner of the room I hesitated. "Come on," she cried "don't be afeared. Sam, and Bill, and Dick, and all the rest of ye. hide yer heads while the Elder's wife goes up." "Look out for loose boards marm. And mind, or you'll smash your brains out, against the beam, take keer of the hole where tho chirably comes through " Her warning came too late. I caught ray foot on tho end of a board Btum bled and fell headlong thro' what ap peared to be interminable space, but It was only to the room I had ju3t left where I was saved from destruction by Bill, who caught me in his arms and set me on my feet, remarking coolly : "What made you corao that way?" We generally use tho ladder." I was duly commiserated, and at last got to bed. The less said about that night the better. Bill and Dick, and four others, slept in the same room with us, and made the air vocal ! their snoring. I fell aaieep.and dreamed I was just be ing fired frpm the muzzle of aoolum baid, nnd was awakened by Mr. Mor rison, who informed mo that It was morning. The marriage was to take plnoe" bo fore breakfast, and Sally was ulready olad in her bridal robes when I de scended the ladder. She was muguifled in a green cali co gown, overorinoline full four inch es larger than tho rest of her apparel a white apron with red strings blue stocking a yellow neok-rib-bon and white cotton gloves. Her reddish hnir was fastened in a plug behind, and well adorned with tho tall feathers or the defunot rooster be fore mentioned. When it was announced that Lem. Lord, the groom, was coming, Sally dived behind a coverlet, which had been hung across one corner of the room to oonceal sundry pots and ket tles, and refused to come forth. Mr. Lord lifted one corner of the curtain and peeped in, but quickly retreated with a Btow pan following close be hind and a few sharp words from Sal ly, advising him to mind his own business. Lemuel was dressed in blue, with bright buttons. The entire Buit had been made for his grandfather on a similar oooaslon. His hair was well greased with tallow, and his huge feet encased in sheep skin pumps. Very soon tho company began to gather, and in half an hour the room was fill ed. "Now, elder," cried tho bridegroom, "dive a head! I wan't it done up short. I'm able to pay for tho job do yer best. Come Father Burke-trot out yer gal !" ' ' But Sally refused to bejrqttad, she would bo married where sheTwas or not at all. We argued, and coaxed, but she was firm ; and we finally concluded to let her have her own j&Whatever you please," said Mr. ITorrleon. i Lemuel produced a piece of fur from hisfpocket. "There, Elder," said ho; "there's a musk rat skin, and out In the shed is two heads of cabbage and you are wel come to-the hull of it." My husbund bowed his thanks the young people vent to dancing. Mra. Burke went to getting breakfunt, and at my earnest request, Mr. Morri son got our horse and we bade them adieu. I never could have lived through another meal in that house. I have since heard that Mr. Lord eaid If he had seen the elder's wife before she was married, "Sally might have goneto the dickens !" Alas ! "It might have been !" BENJ. FRASKLIN ON INPLATIOX. A Strange Story. way. Mr. Morrison stood up the happy couple joined hands through a rent in tho coverlet, and the ceremony pro ceeded. Just as Mr. Morrison was asking Lemuel, "will you have this woman, etc.," down came tho cover let, enveloping tho bride groom and pastor and filled tho house with dust. Dick had been up irfUhe loft, and out the rope which heldIt: .V Mr. Morrison crawled out lnnfc l no- sheepish ; and Sally was obliged to marry openly. To the momentous questions Lemuel responded, "To be sure what else did I come here for ?" and Sally replied, "yaaa If you must know." "Salute your bride," said Mr. Mor rison, when all was over. "I'm ready to do anything reasona- Die, iMaer," said Lemuel, "but skin me if I know about that air. Just show me how and I'll do it, if it kills me." My husband drew baok nervously, but Sally advanced, threw her arms around his neok and gave him a kiss that made the verj' windows clatter. "I vum If I don't do ditto!" cried Lemuel, and hastily taking n huge bite from a pieoe of maple auear. which he drow from his pooket, made a dash at me, smashed my collar, broke my watoh guard into a dozen pieces, tore my hair down, and suc- A curious incident is reported in the American papers. About ten years ago a Jew in Btraitened circumstances left Tranaylvania for America to im prove his position In the new world. Ho left a wife and several ohildren behind, and promised that as soon as it was wit .in ins means, he would send thorn some money from Amerl oa. There fortune smiled on him, and when he had amassed the sum of GO.OOO florins ho resolved to return home aud surprise his family with his wealth. He started without having apprised his family of his intended return, and"xn hiB way home hoar rived at Hamburg, where he was seiz ed with so dangerous an Illness that ho made a will bequeathing all his prop erty to his wif, He recovered, how ever, only to findxthat during his ill uess hi3 monex had been stolen from him. A faibonevolent persons, collected about.100 florins, wherewith the unfortunate Jevrresolved to return to America In ordir to retrieve his fortunes. In the meanwhile tho nurse had decamped with hisbooty to Amer ica, where, shortly after his arrival, he died suddeuly. The American au thorities sent the coffin, with the GO. OOO florins, to Transylvania, and, as the will was also found in the coffin, the authorities" at the same time ac quainted tho relatives with the death of the testator. After the usual peri od of ufourning, the wife contracted a secondarriago. The.first husbaud had, howeveragain savodia consider able sum of money, and 'eventually returned to his native country-to find hlsjR-lfe married to another man1.?

The wealthy inhabitants opposed any addition, from an apprehension that it would depreciate, a&jiad done in Now England, to the prejudice of all creditor. We had discussed this point In our junta, when I was on the side of addition, being persuaded that the first small sum struck in 1723 had done much good, by increasing the trade, employment and number of iuhabii tauts in the province, siuce I now sa v all the old houses Inhabited and marjy new ones building. I remember ed well when I first walked nbout tAe Streets of Philadelphia, eating fciy roll, I saw most of the houses of Wal nut street, between Second and Frimt Btreets, with bills on their doors, To let' nnd many likewise on Chesjnut street made me then think that the inhabitants of the city were deserting it one after another. Our debatfes poseased me so fully of the subject that I wrote and printed an anony mous pamphlet on 'The Nature nnd Necessity of a Paper Currenoy." It was well received by tho com mon peopla In general, but the rich men disliked it, forit increased and strengthened tho clamor for more money, and they happening to hove no writers among them that were able to answer it, their opposition slack ened, and the point was carried by a majority in the house. The utility of of this currency became, by experi ence, so evident as never afterward to be much disputed, so that it grew soon to 55,000, and in 1739 to S0, 000, since which it arose to 350,000 trade, buildings, and inhabitants nil the while increasing.
