HANDY ANDY—An Irish Pugc.
In llcntley’s Miscellany, edited by IW, we
have a very humorous and characteristic sketch
by Mr. S. Lover, of on» those hlunderinre he-
roos who are to be met with iu all parts of Ire.
land, and who, with the best intomioiu, from
their natural aptitude at blundering, are iuva
riably getting themselves or their employers in-
to scrapes. Andy Rooney, otherwise “Handy
Andy,” a r.nme given lo him for being any
thing but “handy” in hD operations, is describ
ed as a blunderer from his cradle. IJe at last
gets promoted to tho office of stable hoy to the
Squire, and is finally admitted as an assistant in
the house, where, after divers blunders, such as
fetching soap and wa-'er for soda water, and hot
water to shnve in-« bucket instead of a shaving
fk>t, lie is sent on a mission, by his master, to the
[>ost oftice:
“Ride into town anti see if there's a letter lor
me,”said the Squire, one day, to our hero.”—
“Yis, sir.”
“You know where to go?”—“To tho town,
sir.”
“But do you know where to go in the town?”
“No sir.”
■ “And why don’t you ask, you' stupid thief?”
“Sure, I’d find it out, sir.”
“Did’nt I often tell you to ask what you’re to
do when you don’t know?”—“Yis sir.”
“And why don’t yo»?”—“1 don’t like to be
lltroublesome, sir.” *
“Confound you!” said tiic squire; though he
could not help laughing at Andy’s excuse for
remaining in ignorance.
“Welt,”continued he,“go tothe post-oflice—
you know the post-office, I suppose?”—“Yes,
sir; where they sell gnnpowdhcr.”
“You’re right for ©nee,” said the squire; for
tiis Majesty’s post-master was the person who
had the privilege of dealing in the aforesaid
combustible. “Go then to the post-oflice and
ask for a letter for me. Remember—-not gun
powder, but a letter.”
“Yis, sir,” said Andy, who got astride of his
hack, and trotted away to the post-oflice. On
arriving at the shop ef the postmaster, (for that
peiwon carried on a brisk trade of groceries, gim
lets, broad cloth, and lineo-drapery,) Andy pre
sented himself to the counter and said—
“I want a letther, sir, if you plaze.”
“And who do you want ii for?” said the post
master, in a tone which Andy considered an
aggression upon the sacredness of private life;
no Andy thought the coolest contempt he could
throw upon the prying impertinence of the post
master was to repeat his request.
“1 waBt a letther, sir, if you plaze.”
“And who do you want it for?” repeated the
postmaster. '
“What’s that to you?” said Andy.
The postmaster, laughing at his simplicity,
told him he could not tell what letter to give him
unless he lold him the direction.
The directions 1 got was to get a letther here
—that’s the directions.”
“Who gave you those directions?” _
“The masther.”
“And wl.o’s your master?”
“What consarn is that o’ yours?”
“Why you stupid rascal! if you don’t tell me
Ids name, how can I give you a leiler!”
You could if you liked; but you’re foud of
axin’ impidint questions bekase you think I’m
simple.”
“Go along out o’ this. Your master must be
as great a goose as yourself to send such a
messenger.”
“Bad luck to your impidince!” said Andy;
is it Squire Egan you dar to say goose to?”
“Oh, Squire Egan’s your master, then?”
“Yis; have you any thing to say agin it?”
“Only that I never saw you before.”
“Faith, then, you’ll iiivor see me agin if I
have my own consint.
I won’t give you any letter for the Squire,
unless I know you’re his servant. Is there any
one in town knows you?”
“Flinty,” said Andy; “it’s not every one is as
ignorant as you.”
Just at this moment a person entered the house
to get a lottcr, to whom Andy was known; and
he vouched to the postmaster that tho account
he gave of himself was true. “You may give
him the Squire’s letter. Have you one for me?”
“Yes, sir,” said the postmaster, producing one,
“fourpence.”
The new-comer paid the fourpence postage;
left the shop with his letter.
“Here’s a letter for the Squire,” said the post-
master. “You’ve to pay nto elevenpence for
postago.”
“What ’ud I pay elevenpence for?”
“For postage.”
“To the devil wid you! Didn’t I seo you give
Mr, Dolany a letther for fourpence this minit,
and a biggerletther than this; and now you want
me topay elevenpence for this scrap ol a thing.
Do you think I’m a fool?-
No; but I’m sure of it,” said the postmaster.
•Well, yeti re wetkim to think what you
plaze; but don’t he delayin’ mo now; here’s four,
pence for you, and gi’ me the letther.
“Go along, you stupid thief!” said the post
master, taking up the letter, and going to serve
a customer with a mouse trap.
While this person and many others were serv
ed, Andy lounged up and down tho shop,every
now and then putting hi* head in the middle ol
the customers, and saying. “Will you gi’ me the
letther?”
He waited for above hnlf an hour, in defiance
of the anathemas of the post-master, and at last
left, when ho found it impossible to get the com
mon justice for his master which he thought he
deserved as well as another man; for, under thi*
impression, Andy determined to give no more
than the fourpence.
The Squire, in the meantime, was getting im
patient for his return, and when Andy made his
appearance, asked if there was a letter for him.
“There is, sir,” said Andy.
“Then give it tome.”—“I haven’t sir.”
“What do you mean?”—“He wouldn’t give
it to me, sir.”
“Who wouldn’t give it to you?”
“Tlmt owld citato beyant in the town—want-
ing to charge double for it.”
“May be its a double letter. WJ»y tlie devil
didn’t you pay him what he asked, sir? ’
“Arrah, sir, would I let ^jnu be dialed. . It’s
not a double letther at alfynot above half the
size o’ one Mr. Delany got before my face for
fourpence a-uiece.”
“Go back, you scoundrel! or I’ll, horsewhip
you; and if you’re longer than an hour i 11 have
you dueked in the horse pond?’
Andy vanished, and made a second visit-Jo
tlie post-office. When he arrived, two other
persons were getting letters, and the postmaster-
was selecting the epistles for each, from a par
cel of them that lay before hitn on the counter;
at the same lime many shop customers were
waiting to be served.
“I’m come for that letther,” said Andy.
“I II attend to yon bv-and-bv when the hurry’s'
over.” -
“He 11 murthcr me if I’m not back soon/’
“I’m glad to hear of it.”
While the postmaster went on with such pro
voking answers to these appeals for despatch,
Andy s eye caught the heap of letters that lay
on the counter; so, while certain weighing of
soap and tobacco was going forward, he con
trived to become possessed of two letters from
the heap; and, having effected that, waited pa
tiently enough until it was the great’s man plea
sure to give him the missive directed to his mas
ter.
i hen did Andy bestride his hack, and io tri
umph at his trick on the post master, rattle along
the road homeward as fust as his hack could car
ry him. He came into the Squire’s presence,
his face beaming with delight, and un air of
self-satisfied superiority in his manner, quite
unaccountable to his master, until he pulled
Ibrtli his hand, winch had beon grubbing tip his
r n2 " n fronre lira bmiorn of tits pocket: «-<i K-IJ-
tfiree letters over his head, while ho said
.Look at that!” lie next slapped them down
under his broad fist on the table before the Squire
saying,

money, any how!”
SPITFIRE’S ADVENTURE.
1 suppose, Mr. Editor, you concur in the ge
neral received opinion, that horse-jockjcs are
rogues cx-officio, and Yankees rogues from in
stinct. Now, sir, lama Yankee horse-jocksv,
and if the opinion before-mentioned is correct,
you will allow that l am a match for old Satan
himself.
Some dozen or fifteen years since, when horse
racing and trotting matches wore not prohibited
ill Massae.!in=fg- ; [ owned a little Narragansett
mare, that knew more than my wife and son,
Tom, together. Site had the spirits of thunder
and lightning, but no beauty to speak of. When
I first bought her, ropes would ut hold her, nor
fences keep her within bounds. I tried gentle
usage and good feeding, but site grew ferocious
and poor. I tried flogging jnd starving, and
she remained amiable and gained flesh. In short,
she was one of the devil’s beauties, and I let her
have her own way; and she soon deserved great
er honor than a Roman Consulship. About the
time the marc and I came to a good understand
ing, there was to be a purse race on the lloxbu-
ry course, and I thought I might just ns well
make a few dollars as not. So I put Spitfire in
to the old horse-cart, throw in a few notions,
and such other things ns were necessary, and
started for Boston. I sold out right well, and
with a pocket-book sufficiently lined went on to
the race ground.
Spitfire knew well enough what was going on,
so she shammed lame, and looked as though
she did’nt know oats from bog hay.
Gentlemen,” says I, giving Spitftro a cut to
got her into a trot, “you’ve had some good run-
ning here.”
Not a word was said in reply, but they all
looked at my little nag, as who would say, “old
daddy you’ve no business here.”
“Says 1, “you need’nt turn up your uosc at
Dobbin. She c*n run like every thing, I tell
ye. If you want to lay a small sum, I’m ready
for you.”
We don’t put our blood horses against such
a filing as rhat for nothing. If you have a'hun-
dred dollars to lose, down with it, or else get out
of the way.”
“Hundred dollars,” cried I, “that’s a great
deal of money. But I’ve got a little of my own,
and some that belongs to one of my neighbors,
so 1 don’t care if [ try.”
Seeing that 1 was in earnest, they took out
the money—1 did the same, and it was deposited
with the umpires.
IVho is to ride your skcIeton?”said one buck
with a snscr.
“1 guess 1 shall ride her mysejf. I does all
Dobbin’s mounting.”
So I drove a little one side—untackled Spitfire
—took off a heavy pair of shoes that I had fitted
for the occasion—opened a box in the horse-cart,
and -put an elegant saddle and bridle on Spitfire
pulled oft* my frock and trowsers. and appear-
ed on the ground in a pairof buckskin tights, and
a jockey-cap and a jacket.
Gentlemen,” said I, speaking in a different
tone, “I rather think I’m ready for you now.”
They looked a little astonished, but there was
no alternative, and aftersomc hemming and haw.
ing, we started. The race was for one heat of
a mile only. The horse that I ran against, was
a noble looking creature—long neck, slender
legs, well opened nostrils, and an eye like an an
telope, but lie was no match for Spitfire. I gave
her the reins—perfectly content to risk the hun
dred dollars on her management. She ran forty
or fifty rods jnst to try the speed of her antago
nist, and then checked herself, and suffered the
horse lo come up and go a few rods past—iht-n
thinking apparently, that site had no time for fur.
thcr trifling, off she started, and soon passed the
horse, coming in thirty yards ahead.
Pocketing the two hundred dollars very cooly
l marched up to tho gontlemen jockies—“Take
one word of advice from a man who is from ns
far down cast as the best of you—never bet here-
after unless yon know your man.
As 1 walked Spitfire oil the ground, I heard

No trust in Princes.—A droll adventure OC*
curred to the emperor Alexander on the eve of
oi one of the imperial reviews. The empetof
was fond of walking about alone and unattended,
and he often expended his pedestrian excursion*
to the distance of two or three leagues from St,
'ctersburgli. On the occasion here alluded to,
he‘had taken- a very long Walk, and finding
himself much fatigued, he got into oho of tbiir
public sledges.

burgh,” said he to the iswotschilk (sledge driver)
I will take you as near to it as f can/*replied
the man: “but the guards will not allow us to ap»
pronch the gates.”
On arriving at a Jittlo distance of the palace,
the sledge stopped.
We must not go any further,” said the sled j*
driver.
The emperor jumped from the sledge saying,
“Wait there, and 1 will send some one to pay
you.”
No, no;” replied the man, “that will not drt»
Your comrades often make me the same promise,
but they always forget to keep it. I will give n«
more credit. If you have not the money leave
something with me until you get it.”
The emperor smiled, and unfastning the clasp
of Ids cloak, he threw it into the sledge. “Here,”
said he, “take this.”
On ascending to his apartments ho directed
liis valet-de-ciiambcr to take fifty roubles to tho
iswotschilk who had brought hitn, and get buck
his cloak. When the valet reached the spot
where the emperor hail left the sledge, he found
about twentydrawn in a line.
“Which of you drove the emperor?” inquired _
the valet.
No onejanswered.
“Who has got a cloak?” said tho valet, pursu
ing his inquiry.
An officer left a clottk with mo,” exclaimed
a sledge driver.
“Give it to me, and Item is your fare.”
“Great St. Nicholas!” exclaimed the aston*
ished driver, and seizing his reins, he drove rap,
idly away amidst the shouts of the assembled m-
wotschilks. This happened on the eve of one
of the grand reviews. After the troops hnd da.
fiiles all the commander* ofcorps formed a group
round the emperor.
Gentlemen,” said Alexander, “1 am much
pleased with the fine appearance and excellent
dicipline of your troops. But toll your officer*
from me, that they last night made me submit to
the humilation of leaving mv cloak in pledge for
my honesty.” Every one stared with astonish,
ment. “I assure yon,” resumed the emperor,
the sledge driver who brought me home, refill
ed to trust me because lie said my comrades often
forgot to pay him.”
