sof the stations a couple of well bred and in-
telligent looking young ladies came in to
procure seats, but seeine no vacant- ones,
were about to go into another car when
Patrick rose hastily and offered them his
seat with evident pleasure. " But you
will have no scat for yourself," responded
-one of the ladies with a smile, and with
truest politeness hesitating to accept it.
" Never ye moind that," said thellibernian,
ser welcome to it. I'd ride upon the cow-
ketcher any toirne from here till New X
for a smoile from such gintlemanly ladies,"
and retreated into the next car amid the ap-
plause of those who witnessed the incident.
Perhaps the foregoing hint -to many ladies
will show that a trifle of politeness has often
-a happy effect.
