Some two years subsequent to my parting with Peter Mulrooney I chanced to fall in with him again in rather an unexpected manner. Business of some importance having taken me to the city, I was traversing pretty rapidly one of its meaner streets, when I heard myself suddenly hailed by name in an accent peculiarly Irish; and, turning round, discovered Peter approaching me with his usual loping gait. He was so al­ tered in his habiliments from the pict- . ure I vividly retained in my memory of the blundering, blarneying Irishman •who took my cow to market, that if it had not been for his voice I dare say I should have passed him without recogni­ tion. But the voice--that voice- it was Peter's peculiar shibboleth. Mr. Mulrooney, whom I only remem­ bered in a bluish-gray coat, a light, flex­ ible hat, and thick brogans, was now dressed in a threadbare suit of black, a silk hat with the crown sunk in and well worn at the edges, and a pair of thin dress bgots elaborately patched. With his coat buttoned up to the chin, and his greasy hat thrust jauntily on one side of his head, he reminded me more of one of those needy actors, whose personal appearance is so often stereotyped as of this fashion in the novels of the day. My words naturally took the color of my thoughts. "Why, Mulrooney," said I, 44is that you ? What are you playing now ?" " Faix, Mr. Urbin," he replied, " it's little ye'd be afther guessin' if ye thrved ever so much. Sure it's a grate grntle- man I am since 1 left sarvice an* set up for myself." "A gentleman ! What sort of a gen­ tleman, Peter ? " " jfristher Mulrooney, if ye plase." said he, correcting my familiarity with one of his droll looks. "Oeli, but it's a rare country this is, anyway! Bevant the watlier it was Pether here an' Pether there, till sorra a bit I know'd of any other name but Pether. But here, the conversation of the ladies an' gintlemen is illigaut in the extrame, and the grate politislniners, in their correspondence wid me, write the beautifnlkst letters, sliuperscribin' them, • Misther Mul­ rooney, Esquire.' Faix! it bates Ban- naglier, any how, an' that's not sayin' a great deal." " I am glad to hear you are getting along in the world so famously." " Aisey, sir, aisey. Lasliins of aitin' and dhrinkin' without - any constitoo- shunal objections. It's mighty little work I have to do any way. I am a profislmnal gintleman, Mr. Urbin, an--" "Oh, Mister Mulrooney ! " ; " Arrah, sir, but it's thrue as the day ! It's a politishuner I am, wid a grate janius for fightin' ! Och ! but it's won­ derful busy they kape me 'lecshun days knockin' down the inimy." " Which party do you call the inimy?" "Sorra a bit I know," said Peter, shrugging his shoulders; then, casting toward me one of his queer, side-long looks, he added, "I'm tliinkin', sir, 'tis the /*a<-riotic party meself does belong to." "And so you get well paid, and well fed for yaur services, do you ? " " If promises 'ud fatten a man, I'd be as big as the prize ox, that I would. But sure they'll kape some of them, I think; and tnen it's to be a magistlier I am, and dale out the law to the vagnbones. Och, 'tis a beautiful business." " A magistrate ? Can you read and write ? " " Aveh ! What 'ud I be good for if I couldn't ? " said Peter, evasively. " Sorra bit it mattbers; 'tis a sthrong mark I make, and that's not aisy to rub out, anyway." "Take my advice, Mulrooney, and go to work. Ditch, dig cellars, break stones «pon a road--do anything rather than suffer yourself to be made the tool of de­ signing men, who will use your services so long as they are beneficial to them, and cast you off as soon as their ambi­ tious projects are achieved. Now, as for a living, it is very easy for you, being a single man " " It's married that I am !" said Peter, groaning. "Married!" I exclaimed, "and in your circumstances ? What folly !" "Troth ye may say that, yer Honor," said Peter, penitently. " But Misthress Connolly was a widdy, Och, but 'tis the desav ingest craythurs they are all the world (Tver. Ayeh," he continued turn­ ing toward me with a look of half-humor- •us sorrow, " 'twas a wild cow I druv to market that time, Misther Urbin." ' "Was she a countrywoman of yours ? " j I inquired. j " Does your Honor be tliinkin' 'tis an j Ameriky v. oman could chate me in that I way?" said Peter, indignantly. "Sure, j 'tisn't in the likes of them to do the i thrick." I " But how came this about, Peter ? " ! "Ayeh ! bad luck's soon tould. I j boorded wid her." i "And so, Irishman-like, you must i needs fall in love with the landlady and | eourt her." I "It's mighty little love I had for big J Misthress Connolly, anyway. As for | the coortin', 'tis a natheral failin' o' mine i to be spakin' saft words to the faymales ! of a family; and sure it was nadeful i beside, to kape Misthress*Connolly's mind as aisy as an ould shoe while I •wed her for my boord." "And that is the way you came to be married, is it ? " "Ayeh, sir, 'tis the sthrangest thing! Och, Michael Connollv, why did ve die ? Bad cess to me that iver I should live to be desaved by a fat woman of 50. But, sure, the quarters wor so pleasant, Misther Urbin," continued Peter, apolo­ getically, " and Misthress Connolly so tinderly interestin' wid he* heart bruk into pieces wid the sorrow that was in it --oh ! but 'tis strong enough now--that I thought it 'ud be a marciful interposi­ tion to comfort her anyhow.** " And so you courted her, I suppose ?" " Och, bnt it was a pretty sight to see the way I did it," replied Peter, with one of his rich laughs. " 'Twas the t>eautifullest specimen of the effects of blarney that has been seen since St. i |?athriek put his comether upon the sar- jrints." ; "What could you expect, then, but jbiarriage, as a consequence ? " " Faix, it's little I thought about it at all, and less I liked it. Sure I tould the ould woman I was a single man, and swore by the pipers that I intended to remain so." " Then you should never have sought to gain her affections; it wouldjiiave been cruel to serve the poor creature so, and desert her afterward." -> "Affections? Musha! 'tis her affec­ tions wor moldy many a long day ago ! " exclaimed Peter. ' " Well, you married heratall events," *said I, impatiently. "Faix, I dunno; but I does be tliink­ in' 'twas she married me. Oiife night there wor some of the ould connthry people at the house, and we talked about the ould times, and afther a while there was lashuns of whisky put on the table, and we talked, and dhrinked again, till it's my sarious opinion that my sinses left me intirely, and niver came back till I found meself in bed nixl inornin,' mighty oneasy in my mind, and won- dhering how I got into Misthress Con­ nolly's room instead of my own. Wltile I was schaming out an apology, who should come to the door but Mistkress Connolly herself. " ' Misther Murooney,' sez she, wid a deep blush, ' how do you find yerself this momin' ?' " 'Pretty well, thank ye, mem,' sez I, * barring the dhryness of my mouth.' " 4 Is it dhry ye are ? ' se'z she, as saft as butther. 'Faix, that's aisy mended anyhow. Would you like a'dhrop of sperits, Misther Mulrooney ?' " 'Deed an' I would, av it fce plasin' ye, Misthress Connolly,' sez L j " 'Och, Pether, dear, sure it's Misthress i Mulrooney you must call me now,' sez she. j "Td be plased to call ye anything that's | dacent and proper, acushla,"' sez I, tin- j <lerly, for the thirst was oonshuming j me- i '"Oh, but it's the quare man ye are,' Hsez she, laughin'. ' Sure 1 was in luck I the day ye came to boord at my house.' j '" Ye may say that,' suz I, ' for I am ! a gintleman of an anshent family, an' | it's not always ye're favored wid the i like, Misthress Connolly.' | " ' Mulrooney,' sez she, correcting me. j " 'Mem ?' sez L | " ' Ye must call me Mulrooney now,' | sez she. '"Wid all me heart,' sez I, 'if ye like the name betther nor yer own; but 'tis not a marryin' man I am.' "'Troth, Pether dear,' aez she, 'I hope ye'U niver be afther marryin' a second time.' " ' Faix, an' it's little 111 be tliinkin* j about marriage, first or second,' sez I. "'Och! wirra, wirra!' sez she, 'only to hear him ! As if he didn't give Father Honnessy a good silver dollar for makin' ! us man and wife last night.' | " ' Misthress Connolly,' sez I, starin' wid amazement, 'sure it's jokin' ye are.' I " ' Not a bit av it, Pether dear,' sez j she, laughin', and lioldin* up a slip of i paper, ' by the same token that this is j the certificate of the priest that I hould j in my liaud.' i " ' Be my sowl, then,' sez I, ' Mis- | thress Connolly, ye may call the certifi- j eate yer husband, for sorra a thing will I have to do wid it.' " ' Mulrooney !' sez she, ' do you de­ ny the ring upon my finger ?' " ' Sorra a bit I care about the goold ring,' sez I, juinpin' out of feed. 'Will it be pleasin' ye to go out of the room while I dress myself.' " 'Och, I'll lave ye, wid all my heart,,' sez she, snatchin' up my clothes. 4 But it's little ye'll have to dress wid till ye come to yer sinses, Pether Mulrooney.' "And by this, and by that, Misther Urbin, she tuck my garments under her arm, and wint out and locked the door, lavin' me in the empty room wid my­ self. ' Tear and ages !' sez I to myself, when she was goin', ' 'tis chated I am in­ tirely ; but maybe 'tis only funnin' she is afther all. Ayeh! what'll I do ? 'Tis a great comfort there's a bed in the room. Shure she won't starve me; mighty onasey I am, anyhow, and that's thrue.'" "So you went to bed again. Well, what came next ?" "Twelve mortial hours I laid there, widout atiu' or dhrinkin'; and then Mis­ thress Connolly knocked at the door. " 'Pether, dear,' sez she. " 'Oh! you murtlieriu' woman,' sez L ' 'Tis kilt I am with the hunger.' '"Am I Misthress Mulrooney?' sez she, spakin' through the kay-hole. ' Am I yer lawful wife ?' " 1 Be my faix, it's blue-molded I'll be before I say so, Biddy Connolly.' " ' Biddy Mulrooney !' sez sue. "4 Connollv !' sez L " 'Mulrooney !' sez she. " ' Go to the divil!' sez L " 'The top of the marnin' to ye, Pether,' sez she, and wid that she wint away. 'Twas pitch dark, • Misther Ur­ bin, when she came again. " ' Is it wake ye are wid the hunger, Pether dear ? ' sez she. " 'Give me my clothes, Misthress Con- noUy,' sez I, faintly. " ' 'Tis Biddy Mulrooney that is spakin' to ye, Pether dear,' sez she. ' Would ye like coftee-tay or tay-tay, wid hot mate and pittaties ? Shure there's plin- ty of 'em down-stairs, Pether darlint, barrin' the fear I have that your mind's disordered.' "' Sure it 'ud be the wondher av it wasn't, wid the bad tratemeat I've had, Misthress Connolly,' sez I. " ' Troth, Pether dear,' sez she, tinder- ly, ' it'll be a blessed day for me whin I can betther it. But ye must confess that you married me Inst night, and that my name's Mulrooney.' " ' Let me out,' sez I, ' or I'll die the niglft!' "' 'Deed, Pether achora, it 'ud be plasin' to me to do it av ye wor in yer right head ; but the time's not come yet, I see," sez she ; and, wid that, down­ stairs she trotted agin. "Ocli, but I suffered wid the hunger pain, Misther Urbin, till I could bear it no longer. I knocked at the door, and called out : ' Misthress Connolly, Misthress Connolly, k tme spake to ye.' " ' There is no Misthress ConnoLl} now,' sez a dirthy little colieen irom the outside ; ' shure she was married last night, and her name's Mulrooney.' " ' Tell Biddy Mul Mulrooney to 3ome here, thin,' sez L Och, but I choked to spake it. Afther a little while I heard her comin' up the stairs. " ' Did you call, Pether darlint ?' sez the fat old desavea. " ' Troth, I believe I did,' sez L " 'What'll I do for ye, husband?' sez she. " ' It's starvin' I am,' sez L "' Was I married last night?* see she. " ' Sorra a bit I know,' sez I. - " ' Spake out, Pethev dear; I don'thear ye,'sez she.

The spider has never been to school a day in his life. He has never learned a trade or read a book, yet he can make the straightest lines, most perfect circles, lieautiful little bridges, and many of his family can spin and weave, some of them can hunt and swim and dive and do mason work almost as well as if they had a trowel and mortar.

PEOPXJi partioul S TEA Six Thousand Years Old* The Aslimolean Museum, at Oxford, ff^ntains one of the oldest monuments of ^civilization in the world, if. indeed, it is Hot the very oldest. This is the lintel stone ©f a tomb which formed the last resting- place of an officer who lived in the time of King Sent, of the second dynasty, whose date is placed br M. Marietta more than six thousand years ago. The stone is covered width that delicate and finished sculpture which distinguished the_ early periods of Egyptian history, and was immeasurably superior to the stiff and conventional art of the latter ages of Egypt which we are accustomed to see in our Europeaa museums. But * it is also covered with something more precious still than sculphvre, with hiero- glypliics which shows that even at that remote Egyptian writing was a complete and finished art, with long ages of previ­ ous development lying beliind it. The hieroglyphic characters are already used, not only pictoriallv aud ideographically, but also to express syllables and alplia^ betic letters, the name of the King, for instance, being spelled alphabetically. In the hands of the Egyptian scribes however, Egyptian writing never made any further progress. With the fall of what is callad the Old Empire (about B. O. 3;>00) the freshness and expansive force of the people passed away, Egyp­ tian life and thought became fossilized, and through the long series of oenturies that followed Egypt resembled one of its own mummies, faithfully preserving the form and features of the past age, and of a life which had ceased to beat in its veins. Until the introduction of Chris­ tianity the only change undergone by Egyptian writers was the invention of a running hand, which in its earlier and simpler form is called hieratic, and in its later form domotic. i WITHIN a circle drawn with a radius of sixteen miles, with the ptiblic build­ ings of Philadelphia as a center, there are over 1,000,000 inhabitants.
