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** •ionally dipping into a kettle of scald* ( ‘sjL'?ater I ‘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 to stick in all me life !’—Detroit Tri* bune. ‘Hallo, Ben!’ fcHallo back again !’ what ye want? ■How's yer folks this morning?’ ‘I m pretty well—mother's smart as usual—Jim and Tom’s kicken’—and father died last night.’ ‘Your father dead V ’Yes—he kicked the bucket about 12 o’clock, an’ I’ve got his watch I’ DQ*Two Irishmen wer going lo fire off a cannon just for fun ; but, being agronomical turn of mind, they ball.

An Irishman who was near sighted, and about to fight a due], insisted that 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 nothing.
