event of which had been an increase of his family, to the extent of five fine, thriving, comely kittens, or pusheens, as Pat would term them in his native parlance. One of those was, in accordance, as he imagined, with his guest's directions, brought to the knife, dismembered, friccassed, and, in proper time, duly served up for dinner. The dish proved savoury, Monsieur smacked his lips, and on the ensuing day, a repetition of the precious condi- ment was ordered-on the next day an encore-on the next a da capo; and so on until, on the sixth, when Pat's pushcens were exhausted, he made his appearance before his guest, with an unusually sombre cast of visage. "Pigeons?" said the French- man. "All gone, your honor," returned Pat ; "an' the sorrow one more in the parish, for love or mon- ey, barrin the ould cat, that's mousin here these four years come next Patrick-mas." "The cat," ejaculated Monsieur. "What else?" cried Pat .- "Cat !" re-echoed the Frenchman, with a visible


opened his mouth, scratched his head, and looked aghast. Monsieur stormed, spat, and raved, by turns. Pat scratched, and scratched, and scratched and scratched again, and at length an eclaircisse- ment took place. I cannot say, precisely, whether or not the stomach-pump had been ere this period invented, and consequently, whether it was on this occasion put in requisition ; but certain it is, that sounds and symptoms would have evinced that such an instrument had been used effectually upon the interior of Monsieur, who did not fail to recollect, to the last day of his life, Pat Durkan's pigeons.


MONEY OR NO MONEY.


We have heard a very amusing atory, of the mode of procedure of a famous Cholera Curer of this city. He does not visit his patients ; on the contrary, they are such as are able to visit him. The first inquiry he makes, is respecting the state of their pockets;


emetion of the stomach and countenance. Pat and he makes up his mind of the disease according-

PICTURE OF A HEALTHY CHILD.


Many parents, we are persuaded, neglect the physical educa 8 2 8 3 tion of their children, not so inuch from any carelessness in re- 8 29 8 34 gard to the welfare of the latter, as from an actual misconcep 9 5 tion of the effects such education, when properly conducted, is 9 26 9 39 calculated to produce, and from an ignorance of the signs by 9 59 10 16 which perfect health and vigour are indicated, Thus by one o class, execssive fatness in an infant is looked upon as the per- fection of health; by another, the amount of strong food it craves and consumes ;- others, again, can conecive ot no more 1 24 1 48 certain indication of health, thau the absence of positive die case-the carly appearance of the teeth-or, the premature ef- forts of the child to use its fect.


To correet such erroneous notions, and to exhibit the impor- tant results to be anticipated from a judicious attention to dict, exercise, and clothing, during infancy and childhood, we present the following picture, not drawn from imagination, but in strict accordance with facts, and with the experience of every enlight- ened observer.


The body of a child, whose physical education has been pro- perly conducted, is straight and robust ; its limbs are umforinly covered with flesh, and well proportioned.


The texture of the flesh is firm, the colour of the surface fresh and rosy ; and the body appears neither overloaded with fat, tumid and spongy, nor parched and haggard, or strikingly meagre. The skin is soft and flexible, and the complexion live- ly and fresh.

ly. To those who are very sick, he gives a vial of his specific, and charges ten dollars, to others, he merely deals out a few pills, for which he charges nothing.


Taking each patient aside, as his turn comes, he says to him -- "Sair, ave you some cash-some money ?"


"No sir, I'm very poor, indeed."


" Ver poor ! ch? Sair, me ver sorry for you-ver sorry indeed, sair."


" I have no money at all-I'm as poor as Job's turkies."


"Eh ! no money at all ? poor as de Job Turk ?- Mon Dieu ! Me ver sorry for you. Sair, me feely your pulse. Not mush bad. No money, ch ? Vy, sair, I ave de grand plesaire to say, sair, dat you have leetul cholera-ver leetul -- not mush-you get vell-you no ver bad, sair-you got no money. 1 chargzhe you nossin at all, sair."


Having dismissed this patient, he calls in anoth- er, and puts the same important questions respect. ing the state of his finances Finding them favour-


able, he proceeds to examine the tongue, the pulse, and so forth. He then shrugs his shoulders, shakes his head ominously, and cxclins : " Mmm Dieu ! Ver bad-ver bad! Sair, you ave got de ver bad cholera-ver bad-you tong, you pulse-tout ver Ind. Me no wish to give you alarm, sir-ne on wish to scary you ; but, sair, yon av got de ver bad cholera about you. You vill die, sair, unless you take my grand specific. Nowmin but dat vill your life save. You go to diable quick, you no take it. Dis vial vill eury you. I savy your life, sar-I must chargzhe you for him. De grand specific in ver costly-I must chargebe you ten dollar"


The patient takes his vinl of the grand cholera specific, pays the ten dollars, and in his turn gires way to some new patient-the rich ner af whose disease is to be determined by the amount lac has ia his pocket .- N. York Constellation.

preached in a little chapel near Sligo, in the land of "praties" :-


"My dear children ! You know that I have been your Father, and Comforter, and Confessor, these six-and-twenty years next Feast of the Virgin : and you all of you know what trouble I've had in keep- ing Satan from taking hould of your sowls. Aye, you may well look glum, but you are mighty sure, every son of Adam amongst you, that I have work- ed hard enough. But will you never lave off your abominable tricks ! Will you never grow obedient! What ! you think you may sin as you plase the whole week long, and come to me for absolution at the end of it! Then I tell you what, darlings ; you wont get it !- Arrah now, Mr. Pat Maloney, why did you cock your eye on the pulpit just then ? 1 didn't say I ineant you ; but now you'll give me lave to suppose so. And you, Mr. Philip O'Shaug- nessy you are making a great bother with your nowe and throat, as if you had a big cowld ; wait a


bit, darling ; I'll come to you presently, and mind if I don't tickle your rotten conscience to some tune !


" Docs any body know Judy Bryant ?--- Och, to be sure, every body knows poor Judy; and yet I dare say some of you will pretind to tell me that you never licard or saw such a cracher in all your born days. Now, couldn't poor Judy hang her blanket out to dry --- hier only blanket, on her own pailings, but that the Divil must put it into the heads of certain parsons, whom 1 have at this mo- ment in my eye, to take fancy to the same ?---- Well Murtock O'Donnel, I didn't say it was you did it, altho' you do look so fidgetty and flustered, nor you, Barney McShane; but you remember I said I had the parson in my eye, do you ? And you, Meggy Flanagan --- you can't sit asy in your sate either : yet who would suspect you, that have got a comfortable home, and your husband Teddy one of the best coblers in the country ?" He now deepened his voice, and threw into his manner a very impressive

Poor Judy Bryant has lost her blanket. 1 have the big thafe before me that stowl it ; and if it s not returned to her before to-morrow morning, 'Il excommunicate him and all that belongs to him ; 'Il have nothing more to do with him in this world r the next !"


The terrific yell which was now sent forth by he 'children,' drove us forth from the chapel; but rith the impression on our minds, that the being who could thus combine the duties of the spiritual nd the civil magistrate, was deserving in the high- st degree of the public esteem ; for however Phi- osophy might cavil at the means employed, Justice as benefitted by the ends he obtained.


A SCENE IN SEYMOUR STREET.


" If happiness has not her scat And centre in the breast,


You may be wise or rich, or great, But never can be blest."


words, not until after the most important bodily changes have been effected. Every period from infancy to manhood, proceeds in a natural and gradual manner, so that the child, in a physical point of view, remains longer a child. He does not mature into manhood before he has completed the proper term of youth ; and thus every stage, as well as the whole carcer of his existence, will be considerably prolonged.


The constitution under such circumstances, becomes more hardy, and is less liable to be effected by the ordinary vicissi- tudes of climate and weather ; and by its being possessed of a great degree of inherent vigour, the assaults of disease arc more certainly repelled : the mental powers are also enabled to assume their greatest developement ; and the capability of enjoying all the rational pleasures of life is greatly increased.


Parents have it in their power, in alinost cvery instance, to realize, in their own children, the preceding picture ; or, by their neglect or ignorance, to present in them its opposite.


We can conceive of few stronger inducements to filial grati- tudc, than must exist in the bosom of that child, who, in addi- tion to existence, has received from the enlightened love of its parents, the means of rendering such existence a real blessing. " I feel myself indebted for the health I enjoy, to the love and foresight of a parent," is at once the most affecting culogium, and the most powerful of motives for continued love and esteem.


EPIGRAM.


It rained a deluge ; Joseph reached home late ; The bell long tugged ; at last, popped out a pate- "Who's that there ringing now ?" squalls sleepy Bet ; "Tis I, you jade," says he ; "I'm wringing wet."

October,


Coming along Seymour Street this afternoon, I witnessed a scene enough to make that grievous musc, Melpomene, herself laugh. Hlefore a window well filled with youthful faces, stood or rather ca. pered a stout boy, of about twelve years of age .... His native country was Italy, his profesion was to grind music from a hurdy-gurdy ; his face was comedy itself; he was of tho genius " Capripedum." as Horace writes, for his action was a kind of wild, goat-like capering, which still he kept true time to his simple instrument. His dress was as bad as bad could be, his shoes excessively large, and the ad- dress displayed in keeping them on his frantic feet was adinirable. A sly, yet comic something in his eye still showed that his thoughts were fixed upon the pennies which he seemed to await from the win- dow. Near him, and adoring him stood a little sweep, about seven years of age, as black as ebony, with his sooty cap dangling from his head, grin. ning with impatient glec. Inspired by the music, and the musician's grotesque attitudes, he could re- sist no longer ; so he joined in the dance with a

and, sure, never before was so much drollery bun- dled into so many rags. The musician's face I thought nothing could surpass, but the sweep's was insufferably droll; his feet were not incommoded by any shocs, and followed the impulse of the strings like their echo. At last, becoming a little tired, for he danced as an amateur, the other as a professor, pitching his voice at his highest key, he roared out to his partner, "What! are na ye tired yet ? see what money I get you!" says he, as the half-pennies jingled on the pavement. "See, what money I get you !" but without ever attempting to take one farthing for himself. Pleased with the generous little fellow's conduct, I held out a penny for himself. "Nay," says he, I'm only dancing abit for him." I forced him to take it, and away he went, flourishing his cap, running with all his might to rejoin some brother of the brush, whose .shrill monosyllabid cry called him to his dusty duty. MORAL .- To my thinking there was more true


pleasure enjoyed by these two boys, in those f minutes, than has been enjoyed by the last thigh prime ministers in the last twenty years. "It were a dance of natures making," as Sterne says, le think I saw religion in it. I am sure it was fulld TRISTIS. charity.

The Spartan boy could endure the rendi m of the fox concealed beneath his cloak, rather the suffer himself to be detected; but who, seized possessed of a " fee grief," ean emulate his cxa al ple, bear sorrow's vitriolic oil undiluted by the test of sympathy, and trot about concealing with wing the arrow of affliction quivering in his ga zard ? It is too much to ask of humanity.
