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

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

And some blam'd the baVy and some blam'd
the clock

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

before she was married, "Sally might
have goneto the dickens !"
Alas ! "It might have been !"

Mr. Morrison crawled out lnnfc l no-

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

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,

quainted tho relatives with the death
of the testator. After the usual peri

In his outobiography, page 185, Dr.
Benjamin Franklin says :
"-About this time,, In 1730, there was
a cry among the people for more mon
ey, only fifteen thousand pounds be
ing extant in the proviuce of Massa
chusetts, and that soon to bo sunk.
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.
