The ould woman was dead set agin 'Tim O'Brian having her darter Peggy. ;And barring I waent a friend of '!O'Brian, small blaine till her. He'd -not the other coat' till his back, that he l!had'nts And him and his father was like two pees about luck. Divil oint could either keep in his pocket, for linding the loan of it till the other, and ' they was too much the jintlemen to ask for it back, either of 'em. Not that I'd mention it for the wnr- . reld; being a. friend av the family, but t,that's the gospel truth, ef I was to be - !put on oath about it. =Well, but he was a good. looking gos- l- soon, niverwidstendiog, and a pair of I; eyes in his hea.1 that shone like jewels, and cheeks like roses, and a mouth jist ; made for kissing, and didn't he do it • though? Vitt a girl in the parish but knew the taste of his lips, more betoken he took the squireen's Wife for Annie Key, and made her pay toll for crossing the bridge , Ballyboborryboybly, and, but for the • election tiraes coming on, the squire , would have tarred and feathered him. But with all his kissing and flirting : there wasn't a girl he loved as he did Peggy McNeel. And a jewel - av a girl she wart, and well she loved Tim, and aisy would it have been for . him to get her, only for the ould wo- ' man, as I told ye before. , • !, "And. where —would he take her to live, barring 'twas the poor house ?" she ,‘ says. ,"A decent girl like Peggy, used '• to havitg comforts about her—two pigs, , and no ount taken av the buttermilk . she took till her praythes, and ivery saysonable luxury in life. There' o Jim - Brady wants her. And so you're mar- ried, it's all the same a hundred years hence, who it. was to." ! That's the way ould folks look at them things ye mind, and I'm not say-' • ing they're wrong, but I was a -Lind av the O'Brian's, and I did my best to re- , r concile the.ould. woman, but St. Pat- . rick himself couldn't have done -it. All • she'd do was to smoke' and listen, and listen and smoke; and whin I'd say my say, no l her head like a Chinaman der- ' ! ing and sey agin, "Tim O'Brian isn't the man for Peggy 111cNee1. I've never brought her up to live without aiting, aud that's what his wile'll have to do." a An onraysona,ble ould crayther she was, that same Widdy McNeel. widstanding that, Tim and Peggy got a • ; • talk wid. aich ither now and agin, and was sweethearts all the, same, and I, as , a friend ar the family, did:the best for , them. : t But, you see, things could'nt-gd on so 3 forever. Tim was going wild to ge, to Amerikey, and go widont Peggy he wouldn't; and Peg oy you see, could'nt • • s, . go wid him, barring she was married, and there was nothing for it but to get married unknownst. "Yer a frind av the family," says Tim to me, sez he, "and we can rely chafly upon ye." "Dipincl upon me, ould boy," says I. And then we laid our heads together, ' and the first Mee we got was that Peggy should go to the fair, and Tim meet her there, and the three of us go to the ; palate and get married. After that the A ring being 011, the ould woman would. g• ive in, for there'd be no help for it. a But Widdy McNeal wee sharperthan .: we thought. Not a step would site let . Peggy put fut to, barring she was wid her. To the fair she went to sell a pig . and buy flax. And more betoken that she would'ut lose her in the crowd, she jist tacked Peggy's gown to her own wid a, stitch or two, and there was no get- : ting at her. ' And there was Tim and. me following on at a safe distance, and Peggy, wid her gown tacked to her mother's, trot- ting on behind, tears rolling down her .cheeks, and heart broke wid disappoint- •' meat, and strangers grinning at the two . as if they were shows. 'And more be- token, Father Carty, taking no heed and striving to get betwixt them, and getting a, fall that near broke the head • him, and brought the two winemin down in a heap jist as the squire's mad bull, that he'd sent to be sold—bad luck to the baste—escaped from the place he was in, and sent the crowd that way. , Ochl the widdy was kilt inthirely, and so WOB Peggy, but niverwidstand- ,. ing, when. they got to their feet,the first e words the widdy said was: “Praise to glory, the tasks didlit break." • And home she marched, wid Peggy - behind her, like a blind man and his dog. "Yer a frind av the family, and that's .' your only excuser' says the could. woman - to me next day: "I kn.owed the trick I , ye'd ha,ve put on me on fair day. I knowed it well, and if I had'nt tacked - the gowns togither wid wax ends from Pat the cobbler's, heaven alone knows the end of it." Oh, she was a sharp ould woman, that same Widdy MoNeel. "Carry her off, my boy ;" says old. O'Brian. But Peggy wouId'iat be carried off. And BO, for doing it, we'd. bave had to take the old woman too—for by day she : was like Peggy's shadow, and ivory , night, -finding how successful the stitch- : ing had been the day of the fair, she sewed the girl tight to her flaming pet- ticoat—saving your prisence. The brains in me were addled as year-ould eggs, striving to manage the match between the poor craythers that was jistalying in love for aiohe other: As for Father Mahone, lwasn't him would have doue aught to thwart the Widdy MeNeel. Wasn't it herself pro- vided him wid chickens, to say nothing ay the better and eggs? and didn't she knit hina stockings and, make him „ shirts ? But I had a brother av rne own, that came so byway of beingmy father's first wife's son by a previous marriage —the man she married adopted him afore they ever met, ye mind—that was a olergyoaan himself jist. 'And blood is thicker than wather, and he'd do a • kind thing for me any day; and I wint to him, and he promised to make them fast whinever there was an oppor- tunity. "seit them away," says he, "and give me ten minutes and it's done." But gitting away was the hard av it; and what to do I didn't know, until it flashed upon me like lightning wan day. Over I goes to the widd.yrand winking at Peggy to let her know what I was at, I says to the ould 470 man, "Ye know I am a, friend O'Brians." "I know that same," says "Well," says I,"it's for that come to the conclusion th right about him and. Peggy. use in a fine fellow like that p fretting for a girl, when there' wan better and.purthier to be the asking? No offense to McNeel. And what I sa rid the twoef the thoughts ither." "It'll take a fairy doohter ti says the widdy. "Peggy_is b to the e. , asin I'm t you're hat's- the ning_ and may -a had for e, Widdy is, jist av aich do that," witched." e“It's wrong xn ye, eggy " says I. "Obedience to parents is the 'rat to be kept. Let me look in you prayer - book, and I'll mark the places ye'll find it in." . "Do that," says the wid she'll come to resin, I warren "I will," says I. "And token, Tim O'Brian goes to to -morrow; so what's th oaring ?" ' "Glory to St. Pathrick," widdy, "afore my flanning is wid the pull av her." For there was Peggy tacked like a Siamese twin. • The widdy got me the b took a pencil and Willed over, add every here land wrote a word.

Der ,"Dirt." , A correspond lab of the Clinton Re- cord gets off the followiog, which isn't so bad at all at all ; A man of well 'mown reputation, re- siding in Goderic, h township/ had lately been seized by the speculation mania. Hearing severe iireeks ago that land in Winuipeg ha.c fallen considerably in value, he deterntiiied to purchase some ' there. He had, some time previous to this, come to th Conclusion that land was a term neve used out west; that dirt was the spe lotion phrase. About five weeks ago he sent out $50, with in- : struotions to th agent to iuvest it in the Main street dirt in Winnipeg, Since , then he ha e remained, until lately, in) great uneasiness, the recent snow storm having preventet all communication be- • tween him and he agent. Last week he received a, sr4all parcel through the poet. Removing the wrapper he dis- covered that he was the recipient of a Ilerrick's pill bax. His surprise found. vent as follows s ---"Well, begor, this is the sthrangeeathing I ivei seed; that - there Herrick's must be purty smart to ' find out me mime when I niver was ferdther north tlaan Wingham, or fard- ther south than London." After due reflection, thinking the parcel might be- long to his wife, he put it in his pocket unopened. Upon returning home, due inquiries having been made, he found that no one knee anything about the article in question, He then proceeded to open it, upoia which he_discovered that it was half full of a dark sandy substance, on the top of which wan a t paper with the words in a bold lawye 's hand," Read the wrapper." Acting n l the hint he found the following :— l "Sin :—Receiyed your money.

It is as follows: The silk must be thoroughly brushed and well wiped with a cloth, then laid flat on a board or table, and well spong- ed with hot coffee, thoroughly freed from sedirnent by being strained through muslin. The silk is sponged on the side intended to show; it is allowed to become partially dry, and then iron- ed on the wron side. The coffee re- moves every particle of grease, and re- stores the brilli ney of silk without im- parting to it either the shiny appear- ance or crackly or papery stiffness oh-, tained by beer or, indeed any other liquid. The silk really appears thick- ened by the process, and this good effect iepermanent. Our readers who will experiment en an apron or cravat will never agaila try any other method.
