Irish Drollery.
An amusing slory of Daines Barrington,
Recorder of Bristol, is related by one of the
British press. Having to appear for the
plaintiff in a case ofihe winter assize at Clom
n il, he “let into” the defendant in no mea
sared terms. The individual inveighed against
not being present, only heard of the invect
ives. After Barrington, however, had got
back to Dublin, the Tipperary man lost no
time in paying his compliments to the coun
sel. He rode all day and all night, and cov.
ered with sleet, arrived before Barrington's
residence,ln Harcourt street, Dublin. Throw
ing the bridle ol his smoking horse over the
ratling of the area, he announced his arrival
by a thundering knock at the door, which
nearly shook the street. Barrington’s valet
answered the summons, and opening the street
door, beheld the apparition of a rough coaled
Tipperary fire-eater, with a large stick under
his arm, and. the sleet sticking to his bushy
whiskers.
“Is your mister up,” demanded tha visitor
in a voice that gave some intimation of the
object of his journey.
“No," answered the man.
“Then give him my compliments, and say
■Mr. Foley (he’ll know the name) will be glad
to see him.”
The valet went up stairs and told his mas
ter, who was in bed, and the purport of his
vi-il.
“Then don’t let Mr. Foley in for your life,”
said Barrington, “for it is not a hare and a
brace of ducks he has come to present me
with.”
The mnn was leaving the bedroom, when
a rough wet coat pushed by him, while n
thick voice said, “by your leave;” at the
same moment Mr. Foley entered the bedroom.
“You know my business, sir,” said he to
Utrrington : “I have made a journey to
teach you ra toners, and it is not my purpose
to return until 1 have broken every bone in
your bodv at the same lime he cut a figure
eight with his shillelab, before the ciieval
glass.
“You do not mean to say you would mur
der.me in bed,” exclaimed D tines, who had
as much honor ns cool courage.
‘•No,” replied the othgr, “but get up as
soon as vou can.” '
“Yes,” replied Caines, “that you might
fell me the moment 1 pul my body out of the
blankets.”
“No,” replied the other. ‘ I pledge you
tny word not to touch you till \ou are out of
bed.”
“You wont 1”
“I wont.”
“Upon your honor?’’
“On my honor.”
'“That is enough,” said . D imes, turning
over and making himself yery comfor'able,
and seeming as though he meant to fall asleep.
“I may rest as safe as though I were under
the castle guard.’’
The Ttppe.rary Salamander looked marvel
lously astonished at the pretended sleepgr but
soon Caines began to snore.
“Halloa!” said Foley, “aren’t you going
lo gel up V' [
“No,” said Caines, “I have the honor of
an Irish gentleman that he will not strike me
in bed, and 1 am sure I am not going to get
up again. In the meantime, Mr. Foley, if
you should want your breakfast, ring the
bell; the best in the house is at your service.
The morning paper will be here presently,
but be sure lo air it before reading, for there
is nothing from which a man so qnicklv
catches cold as reading a damp journal
and Barrington once more affected I o go to
sleep.
The Tipperary man had fun in him as wolf
as lerocily ; he could not resist ih© cunning
of the counsel, so, laughing aloud, he ex-
claimed
“Get up, Mr, Barrington, for in bed or out
of bed, I have not Ihe heart to hurt so droll
a gentleman.”
The result was that in less than an hour
afterwards, Daines and his intended murderer
were sifting down to a warm hreakf.isf, the
Inner intent only upon assarting a dish of
smoking chops.
flere’s a gem from Dombey that will never
grow dimi “She died,” said Polly, “and
was never seen again, for she was buried in
Ihe croupd where the tress grow.”
“In the cold ground !” said the child.
“No; ihe warm ground,” replied Polly,
“where the seeds are turned into beautiful
flowers, and where good people turn into an
gels, and fly away to heaven.”
Got it off Her Mind.—Children and
fools, says an old adage, always tell the
truth. “Mother sent me,” said a little girl
to a neighbor, “to come and ask you to take
lea with her this evening.” “Did she say at
what time my dear?” “No ma’am; she
only said she would ask you, and then the
thing would be off her mind; (hat’s alt she
said.”
It may seem 'Strange, but it is a fact, that
men generally are much more afraid of wo
men than warned of men; and fearing in
‘ break the ice” is a fruitful cause of old
bachelorism.

BUCHU LEAVES are procured from the south*
ern part of Africa. The Hottentots at the
cape of Good Hope have long used this article as a
remedy in a variety of diseases. From them the
medicine was borrowed by the English and Dutch
physicians residing there and by their recommend*
ution it was soon employed in Europe. In ptoqess
of time this medicine has come into general use,
and is highly spoken of by the best medical writers.
Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of
llie urinary organs, such as gravel, a morbid irrita
tion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine,
also incontinence of urine from want of tone in the
urinary organs. It cools the unnatural heat and
relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing
it has been effectual when other valuable medicines
had failed to produce an effect. The active princi
ple of this medicine is a volatile oil which is mostly
lost by the old process of boiling. Hence it requires
great care and skilful management to prepare this
medicine properly.
FLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU is a strong or
concentrated preparation prepared by the new
process called ‘ Displacement.” By this the valua
ble properties of the Buchu are entirely preserved,
and this form of the medicine is less liable to injury
from age and more palatcable. Useful equally in all
cases o! the kind whether male or female. Price
cents per bottle. For sale at Roy*s Drug and

“On the 26th of February oil themeinbcra of the committee
met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in
them) and were perfectly satisfied that oil was right. The
day following, the burning took place, under the superintend

for five hours, the Safe of Messrs Evans A Watson was first

ent from those they sell) to “born up” one of Herring’s, (half
as thick) has met with its true reward. Herring’s Safe could
not be burnt, proving conclusively that the only reliable
Safe now made is “Herring’s” of which over 15,000 are now
in actual use, and more than 200 have been tried by fire

ot Reading, manufactured by Farrels &. Herring,
and the safe in use by H. A. Lanlz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans & Watson,and put in books
and papers precisely alike. \
The fire was started at 8$ o’clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green Jiickoryi two cords
dry oak and half chestnut lop' were entirely
consumed, the whole under the superintendence of
the subscribers, members of the 'Committee. The
Safes were then cooled off* witli water, after which
they were opened and the books Sand papers taken
out by the Committee and sent jto H. A. Lanlz’s
store for public examination, after they were first
examined and marked by the Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured
by Evans & Watson were but [slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by barrels & Herring, were in our
judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans & Watson’s Safe.
We believe the above to have been a fair and im.
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes,

coincide with (he above statement of (lie condition
of the papers and books taken out jof their respective
Safes. G. A. NICHOLLS,
