PAT'S ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF.

ould Ireland, in the town of Bally-

could not find, if I say it myself.
Not a boy of thein all could come

say I'd the and

handsomest face to be met with, all
the country round. The only thing

—which is always mighty provok-
ing intoirely, And many a time
I've said : 'Sure, the world would

upon Adam for his disobedience.
And I've always owed him a grudge
for that same. Anny opples at all

Adorer than most folks, to begin

Old Dinny Maguire found me
along the edge of a bog pinned up
in a blanket wid a bit of fried bacon

ethring, for me to refrish meself
wid, and he tuck me home, and
.sada he : 'God be good to us, Biddy ;
-One more'll make no differ, when
we've the round dozen already.'
And from that I knowed no differ
betwixt me and their own, and so
I'm comin' to the time whin I wuz

me a bit or sup wheriver I wint,
wid the idea orphans naded victuals
more thali other folks, when right
fornist me what did I see, but a
carriage wid goold lamps and an
illigant pair of horses, and a coach-
man and two footmin, and perched
in the midst iv them a quare, crook-
ed dauncey little body wid his
shoulders to his ears and a hump on
his back, and legs like apidles,
glow'rin' at mo.
'Sure,' sez I, 'saints above us 1
the king iv the witches have come
afther me, an' I'll be in the midst
iv the grate) hills to live wid 'em
an' dhraw wtther for thim forivor.'
An' over I wint in my fright, an'
over mo wint the horses. Au' that
wuz the last I knowd iv it.
I cum to meself in an illigant
room on an illigant sofy, an' there
wuz a lot of fine folks about me, an'
the doctor wus sayin' :
'There's no bones bruk ; but let

Tmade no bones about that. I

'Service to you, sor,' sez I.
'How de ye do, Pat?' sez he.
'Who doyou think I may bo, now?
'Her ladyship's nephew, or the
loike iv that,' sez I. 'They grow

The crayther laughed.

'There's but wan way : Tell your

'Inform her iv the facts—mebbe

But I waited fur nothin'—God

THE OLD FALCON TAVERN.
A 00NV1V1AG tvltNUNG WITH BSAHE-
SPEARE AND BEN JONSON.
'I doubt not,' °aid Stow, 'that we
have here—'tis the Falcon Tavern
—a cotnpanytot wits and poets and
players. Let us tarry but the
drinking of a single flask. It may
be, unless their tongues are more
free than is seemingly, that we shall
be rewarded."
The Falcon Inn etood at the
western end of Bank Side, at the
end of the Falcon stairs. Iu front
a small garden stretched out toward
the river. Part of the garden was
an arbor, formed by a vine raised
on poles, so as to form a roof of
leaves. Here was a table placed,
and round the table a company of
ten or a dozen. At the head of the
table was a young gentleman richly
dressed. Behind him stood two
servants. At his right sat a man of
about thirty, of large frame and
already corpulent, his brown hair
short and curly, his beard cut short,
his eyes singularly bright.
"Tie Bon Jonson,' whispered
Stow. 'Let us sit here, without the
arbor, so that we can drink and
listen. Bon is but lately out of
prison, where ho was cast for writ-
ing reflections on the Scottish
nation. 'Twos said that he would
lose his ears and have his nose slit,
but the King showed mercy. He
at the head of the table is some
young nobleman, patron of poets,
but, alas, I live now so retired that
I know -not his name. On the left
of him is William Shakespeare,
whom some think a better poet
than Ben—a quiet man, who says
little. I have seed him here before.
'Twas he wrote the piece we have
seen this day. Ho has a share in
the theatre Qf Blackfriars. Burbagc
the actor sits next to Shakespeare,
and then Alleyn and Hemyng op-
posite, and Henslowe. And there
is John Marston, another poet.'
Alleyn it was who held the
guitar. At this time he was in the
prime of life, not yet forty, his face
full of mobility and quickness.
He ran his fingers carelessly over
the notes, and then began to sing
in a clear, high voice :
"Twas I that paid for all things;
'Tomas others drank the wine.
I cannot now recall things ;
Live but a fool to pine.
'Twits I that beat the bush :
The bird to others flew l
For she, alas! for she, alas 1 hath
left me.

-'If ever that Dame Nature

'No riches now can raise me,
No want make me despair ;
No misery amaze me,
Nor yet for want I care.
I have lost a world itself ;
My earthly heaven, adieu !
Since she, alas I since she, alas I
bath left me.
Falero—lero—loo 1r
'Sir',' said the young gentleman,
"tie an excellent song, well sung.
I drink your health.'
This he did, rising, and very
courteously.
Now in the talk that followed I
observed that while the players
amused by relating anecdotes, Ben
Jonsou made laughter by what he
said, speaking in language which
belongs to scholars and to books,
and that Shakespeare sat for the
most part in silence, yet not in the
silence of a blockhead in the pres-
ence of wits, and when he spoke it
was to the purpose. Also I re
marked that the guitar passed from
hand to hand, and that everybody

We drank our claps and listened to
"the talk.

Wa came away about sunset, or
near half -past eight in the evening.
Some of the company were by this
time merry with their wine, and es
we rove, one began to bawl an old
tavern ditty, drumming on the
wood of the guitar with hie
knuckles :
'There was a ewe had three lambs,
And one of them was blaoke ;
There was aman had three sons,
Jeffrey, James, and Jaok.

SAVING THE PINE.
At a dinner -party in Loudon, the
centrepiece is often a large piuo-
apple, which by its fragrance and
beauty justifies its position. But it
is whispered that the pineapple is
not unfrequently hired for the cm•
rasion, and that tho butler has been
ordered to preserve it from being
sliced by the guests. \
Many years ago, when (Qvkeen
Adelaide assisted her stupid, good-
natured husband, William IV., to
stimulate the social life of Eng-
land, the Lord Mayor of London
was informed that Her :iajeety
would lunch at the Mansion House
on a certain day. At the feast the
Queen sat at a small circular table
with the Lord Mayor and the Lady
Mayoress, while the other guests
were seated at a large table adjoin-
ing that of royalty, on which stood
a magnificent pineapple. So at-
tractive was the pine that it drew
more eyes than the Queen.
Her Majesty declined to partake
of the pineapple, and it roineined
uncut when she rose to leave the
table, and many of the guests con-
gratulated themselves on the fact
that there would bo more slices to
go round. •
The Lord Mayor, a canny Scotch-
men,anticipated his guests' thoughts,
and,us he gave the Queen his arm to
escort her from the hall, said to a
young friend, also a Scot. "Oblige
me by saving the pine." No sooner
bad the Queen left the room, than a
rush was made„for the pine. The
young Scot seized it, held it out of
the reach of a score of poets eager
to slice it, and by the aid of the
butler conveyed it to the pantry.
"Have you saved the pine?” asked
the Lord Mayor on re-entering the
hall.
"I have " answered the young
man.
"I presume, Mr. Mayor," said
one of the guests, "that the pine is
to be, sent to Her Majesty."
"Nothing of the kind," answered
the Mayor.
"Why, then, is it not to be
oaten 1"
"It was to be eaten by the Queen,
not by you," the Mayor rejoined ;
"but as her majesty declined to par-
take of it, I intend returning it
whence it came. I arranged to pay
two guineas for the loan or seven
guineas had it been eaten ; as it is,
I save five guineas."
"Well, to be sure!" exclaimed an-
other disappointed guest, "here is a
specimen of Scotch economy for
you 1"
"Yee," joined in another, refer-
ring to the nativity of the Mayor
and his young friend, "and how
these Scotchmen do play into each
other's hands!"

There has been quite a 'emotion
in Washington during the last few
days on the subject of artificial
eggs. A person who claims to have
invented '0 process' for making them
--patent newly applied fort -has
been exhibiting ampler' and giving
them away about town. Some
dozens have been served in the
clubs, boiled, fried, poached and
scrambled, aild the. general yerdict is
that it would be impoeeible for tiny -
body to dietinguieh them from
real ones. Externally they look
exactly like the Bort laid by hens.

been claimed that no imitation eggs
could ever be made to "boat up" for
cake, but these do perfectly.
The. inventor Gaye that his eggs
are, chemically speaking, a precise
reproduction of nature. Corn meal
is the basis of their material. The
white is pure albumen, of course,

ed mixture of albumen and several

Imitation, as one might think, is
counterfeited.
Tho eggs are made of various
shapes and tints. One will be able
to buy, as soon as they are placed
on the market, counterfeit pullets'
eggs or eggs laid by elderly hens,
likewise select white eggs or dark -
colored eggs, according to choice.
Most surprising of all they will be
sold for only 10 cents a dozen and
they never get rotten. To confec-
tioners and others who use large
quantities of eggs the yolks and
whites will be sold separately, put
up in jars and hermetically sealed.
In this shape they will also be con-
venient for household employment.
For the purpose of gaining adver-
tisement for these preparations it
has been suggested that the inventor
may have conceived the plan of die-
tributing real eggs in the guise of
artificial ones. This is certainly
not the case, however, because there
are certain points which render
these artificial eggs distinguishable
as snch. For instance, the lining is
evidently made of some sort of sills•
like tissue and one can see that it is
woven. The shell ie said to be -cast
in halves out of a limo composition,
the lining being put in and filled
and the two halvea thereupon join-
ed together.
