:man aud a Frenchman were to be hanged
together at York. The latter was strongly
affected at his situation' while the former took
it very easy and told his c ompanion to keep
up spirits for it was nothing at all to be hang-
ed "Ah hy God" says the Frenchman
in broken English "there is a' very great
difference bet wen you and me: furjjou'lrish-
men are used to it."
The Sailor attd Tire Judge.
"While a sailor's sentence was pronounc
ing who committed a robbery on the
"highway he raised a piece of rolled
"tobacco in' his mouth and held it bet-
"ween his teeth. 'When the sentence
-was finished he bit olTa piece of the
tobacco and began to chew it with un-
concern. "Sirrah!" said the judge

The Dutchman and the Scxkey.
Some years ago a gentleman from
New England travelling through one
of' the .Dutch settlements in this State
called at a tavern and asked the land-
lord if he could keep his sulkey for a
few days as he had some what further
to g on account of the badness of the
roads but did not wish to take it with
him.
No said the Duthman. I cannot
keep your zullucky; I pe's got neider
hay nor oats.
Well you 'don't need any. Thesul.
key neither eats hay nor oats.

Nottmg dat is damp dry fodder.

The landlord went out and casting
his eyes on the zulkey exclaimed with
great 'contempt:
Is dat your zullucky?
Certainly.

THE IRISH SOLDIER.
The follawing is an extract from a-speech
by G. V. Curtis of the U. States at a re-
cent "celebration-of the birthday ofO'Con-
ncl. The recollections of America's days
of trial must the more and more en-
dear t her the memory "of Irishmen's
services in the "times that tried mens
souls." Perhaps I may" tire you with
"a thrice told tale" yet if the Ameri-
cans were as much instructed in the
history of thiir own times as they are
in records of antiquity they woulll find
as brilliant instances of courage and
patriotism to admire in the lives and
actions of the heroes of their Revolu-
tion as of those who flourished in the
days of Rome and Greece. The rising
generations should be taught in their
schools the history of their father's
fame; and then the youthful historian -would
dwell with as much admiration
upon the passage of the Delaware as
thov nrn wnnt tn dn in tiie nassan-e nC
- D- -
the Rubicon or the Granicus.
Do the mellow recollections of anti-
quity contain a finer instance of cour-
age and fideiitv under the severest
pressure of misfortune than is found in
the story which I have illustrated froin
the -rostrum and from the stage of
poor John Byrne the Irish soldier of
the revolution. Cheers.
Years have rolled away since an a-
ged and broken man came to my door
and saluted me with a God bless you r
honor and its Washington's old soldie
that's come to see ye. I am proud to
inform you that I often receive a call
from the honored remnants of the Rev
olution. They say they cannot pass
my domicu witnout calling on one
they are pleased to term a member of
the old family. And so hear me God!
more welcome to my house and my
heart are these gray and withered rel-
ics of the heroic time than would be
the presenct of an Emperor. Cheering-
Byrne was one of the finest types of
that order of beings now almost ex
tinct tnat ever met my notice. iNev
er can 1 forget the louc
that ensued when I h
tocheer the" old man i
lime expression of
having drank to his
reverently turnei
higher'and bstti
"and he
lence 'associating only with the dying
and the dead. But see there appears
the commander like an angel of mer-
cy having healing under his wings in
the shape of pardon protection food;
raiment gold. But mark ye the pried
of all these benefits. 'Twas like the
devil tempting the Son of Man of old.
"All these will I give ye" but ye must
abandon the cause of Americen liber-
ty said my Lord Admiral to poor
Byrne when the'latter had crawled a-
bout the deck and confronted the mas-
ter of his fate. And what was the suf.
fering heroe's repty? Hear it Amer-
icans treasure it in your hearts ay
and write it in your books that future
I ages may read it and admire the cry
of biave Byrne in the prison ship at
Charleston and amid the ranks ut
death at Eutaw. Hurrah for Ameri-
ca! Loud and long continued cheer-
ing. Hear this the brave and good of all
the world and then to the banquet on
Greek and Roman courage and fidelity
"with what appetite you may." Turn
over the pages of the past. Dive into
the depths of centuries and you can
find no more brilliant examples of cour-
age in the midst of despair of zeal and
fidelity in the cause of human liberty
than is shown in the story of John
Byrne the Irish soldier of the Revolu-
tion. My tale is told. The old orator and
his old stories will together descend
the stream of fife cheering the rising
generations with talcs of the days of
trial and giving portraits from the life
of those worthies whose courage and
patriotism founded the empire of civil
and religious liberty which millions
now enjoy and will continue to be en
joyed by millions yet to come. Cheers
When your eagle bannershall agaiti
be unfurled in war and the time is by
no means remote you will have in
vour ranks not merely regiments but
whole armies composed of the sons of
Erin. 'In the hour of need like their
fumed countrymen of o'd; they will not
be found "idle" but engraving on their
colors the battle cry of Byrne will
rush into the enemy's ranks with hu-
rah for America! Loud Cheering.
Raising Ducks ad Turkeys. In
the Agriculturist of the last year ap-.
peared two articles one on the best
mode of raising ducks and the other
on turkeys. Two seasons have since
passed away and the writer of this has
been cnablcd'to test the efficacy ol
those directions and in every instance
that has come under his knowledge
'hey have been attended with perfect
success. The dircctiens for raising
ducks were to feed them on animal foot!
and keep them dry. Individuals who
'lave adopted this plan have sent to
niir markets from 500 to 700 ducks of
the finest kinds and they have no
diseases among them and found no dif-
ficulty in raising them.
Two or three individuals who have
tried the experiment of driving their tur
keys when young to a distance from
the house where the greatest number
of insects were to be found and feed
ing and housing them in the manner
directed by the Agriculturist have sta-
ted that they have-raised from 100 to
300 turkeys and they have pronoun-
ced it to be a method which of all o-
thers. they believed best calculated to
with success
