(&- Irish girls are always pretty
smart, but once in a while they com*
mit blunders. Their blunders are gen*,
eraily so ludicrous and funny that it is
impossible to get angry with them. At
one of the houses in this city lives one
who has ‘been over’ but a few weeks.
Lively ns a cricket, industrious as a
bee, and honest and willing to do, she
of course is well liked by those with
whom she has taken up her abode.
A few days ago, one of the men,
who is something of a practical joker,
happened to kill a large rat, He hand
ed it to Nelly, and loid her he wanted
it cooked for his dinner. Nelly, with n
modest courtesy, took the animal and
proceeded to the kitchen. A short
time after, the lady of the house had
occasion to go to the kitchen, w here
she found Nelly trying to pull the
fur off the rat. which she was occa**

‘Why Nelly ! what are you about?’
asked the astonished lady.
,Sure, an’ its trying to pluck the
feathers off this thing i am;’ said she,
‘for Mr. lowld me to cook it for
dinner.* \
The lady soon put a stop to the per
formance. and told Nelly with all the
gravity she could corhmnnd, that the
men had been playing a joke upon her.
•Troth an’ a joke it is, sure enough,’
said she, for, 1 never seen sich feathers

An Irishman who was near sighted,

he should stand six paces nearer to his
antagonist than the latter did to him
and they were both to fire at the same
time. This beats Sheridan’s telling
about a fat man who was going to hght
a thin one, that the latter’s slim figure
ought to be chalked on the other’s
portly person, and if the bullet hit him
outside of the line, it was to go for
