'I made Mrs. Squills as mad as forty
tho other uight,^ said/Squills ; 'I had
left?my1 faWb-fcoy1*?* home and had to
ring the old lady out of bed.
'?I haled io' do it, of course,' said
Squills; 'but I could uot roost out all
night on the door mat, and when she
catuo down she looked the reverse of
rosy, I tell you.'
'It's extraordinary, Mr. Squills, you
can't think of your latch-key. Making
me come down night after night1?she
hadn't dono it for a year, said Squills,
'wakiug mo out of my first sleep, and
catching my death of cold, and blowing
my nose half off with the rheumatism.'
fl tried to lobte as'sorry as if she had
lost her latch-key,aud kuocked uic out
of bud instead,'said Squills.
'Never mind, Mr. Squills; only wait
till dear baby catches the consumption,
and then you'll wish you'd uevcr seen a
latch-key, perhaps.'
'Catches what, my sweet love V
'Consumption, Mr. Sqnills. Latch
keys have brought more blessed babies
to their latter ends than you dream of,
Mf ' Squills, und I only hope my no;e
won't Vrikc into baby's lungs aud eurr)
her off, that's all.'
'I hopo she would not be abducted in
that way,' said Squills, '.itid then I saw
I wus io dor it. So, wheu I got upstairs,
I pulled off my cunt and boots, put on
tuy dressing g^Tjrn, (lighted my pipe, drew
my ohuir up tut?he 'tire, and sat down to
wait i'ur .the hurricane. Pt wasn't hmgi
coming. :She was sitting bolt upright,

'Why. -my sweet love f
??Yi*u ikuow mmtlKjr never touches
mutton. \\ bats tlr.rf.?if?- ? 'Shy a-cold

Squills, I shall uot let .her go and i

Jtuow, Mr. Squills, that my motherieu't
'that kind of a woman 4 you can't shy
cold potatoes ut her with impunity, aud
what's more you s' au't.'
. 'Nor roast mutton either,' I said.
'My family wasn't taised on cold pota
(toes in old Virginia, Mr..Squills, what
ever your family was. What's the
matter with juuttoa'{ Asked your owu
heart, Mr. -Squills, ifyou have a hodrt.
You know you might us well set her
down to a mess of wool. And then, as
that's not cruel enough, you want me to
shy cold potatoes at her. What's that
you say about 'rip' Mr. Squills? Did
you dare to say 'let her t ip ?'
'I tried to put in here and explain,'
said Squills, 'that I was only getting.off
Rip Yun Winkle's joke, and that I
didn't mean' anything persohal, but it
wasn't of any use. She had got her
Shenaudoah away up, and that isn't
stoppable, you know, ia one of the first
families.'
'Don't insult me with your beastly
jokes, sir. <<? CJao you look .that dear
infant in the faco, Squills, after telling
her mother to throw potatoes at her
grandmother, and to let her rip,' all
because she don't like wool for dinner '(
And she shan't eat it, sir. Np; air ; not
if I die for it the next instant, Sqaills,
She shall have a can of oysters and a
box of sardines all to her dear old ?elf
in the kitchen and I'd like to sue you
throw a clod potato at her.'
'This kind of argument was unanswer
able,' said Squills, 'so I sat und smokod
my pipe and she subsided. Just as I
was getting into bed, she looked up und
said, 'Mr. Squills, dou't forget to bjlt
the door !'
'The next day, (I don't know where
it came from) but thorn was a turkey
on the table, and Mrs. Squills and the
dear old party from the Shsoaodoah

Bursting of a Bog.
6TRAN?E S?WNES <1P DEVASTATION tN
IHKLAND.
.in ''">?' RH1 -mi'A i'
W. J,. Trench, writing to tho
London Times to appeal to tho charifa
ble for aid Fur some unfortunate families,
gives this account of the burstiug of an
Irish bog. Hosavs;
'I have just returned from inspecting
one of the most pitiful scenes of the
Bort it hns been my fate to witness since
I saw the remains of the village of Visp,
in the Rhono YaUey, Switzerland, after
its destruction by flood some years
ago.
?The scene to which I refer is the
.result of the bursting of r bog, situated
about three miles east of the town of
Dunmore, in the northern pnrt of Gal
way county. Heretofore this bog was
connected with the .Dunmore RWer, at
Dunmore, by a -.nail stream called the
OoTTabe! River fit wing through aeon
tinnation ofpastnrp and tillage lan is in
its course. The. level of the upper sur
face of the bog was formerly L!GG fe?t
above the sea, and that of the water at
Dunmore \i)0 feet, showing a fall of 70
feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bug
presented tho.UMial appearance of most
of our undrained Dish ho^^, i. o , its
skirts, adjoining the arable land, consist
iug of high turf banks, being exceeding
1y wet and spongy.
'On tho first of October tho farmer
occupying a farm ou the Corrabal stream
nonr the hog was "digging his potatoes,
when hesuldenly observed a brown mass
slowly approaching htm. Ho left his
Bpadc tu the grrmnd, and went for the
neighbors; on hin return tho tins (which
w;ih the moving bog~) had half covered
his potato field. nnH completely hidden

lit Id did of it seeee of desolation. This
was hut'thu commencement, kin06 then
ihe bog has coptinued to advance. 4<i u ,
rolling notes, cnnnAuTibi1 Its eour-o ri^ht
?down the valley to D.inuioiv. miVyih.?
on its way three farm hb f'081. and o ?vor
ing at least one hundred and eighty
acres of pasture and arable land to a
depth in some places of six feet. The
unfortunate oc mpiers of the three farms
have heeu turned, by this Visitation of
l'rovideiios, Jar ml ess aud homeless, with
their families, on the world.
'At Dunmore a small bridge has been
removed, near the junction of the G?r
rabel stream w.ith the Dunmore River
to afford "cliof to the lands up the val
ley, and a bog-ladou torrent is boing dis
clutrgcd into tho latter river. The
worst may be said to be over,; but tho
discharging powers of that river will be
materially affected by this, influx id sol
id matter. Thesmrc; of this disaster
?-??esentefl a wonderful appearance. The
subsidence at the discharging point can
not be less than about ii? feet. The
extent of the bog aifeoted is most clear
ly defined by a sories of black 'crev is
t?es,' where the upper crust of the bog
has, by the subsidence below, been torn
asunder. The whole assumes the Forth
of a era tor half a mile in diameter.
'With considerable difficulty we pilot
ed our way to the emtre. whore w i Foun 1
the brown liquid bog boiling out like a
stream of lavu aud feeding tho moving
mass in the valley below. At the point
.where the bog burst, tho turf banks
were forced r:ght ov. r and rom? on
either side, and assumed f-omcwhat the
.appearance of 'moraines.'
'This aud similar disasters to which
this country is liable must ho attributed
to the absence, of a (Omplctu and good
systom of arterial draiuago. A similar
catastrophe occurred two years age, oc
cusioned by tho backwuter of the River
Suck| near Casth rea.'

Tn South America even the weakest
