on his hospitality, all promising him at the same time, in a very de- 

 termined manner, the favour of a second visit, which gratification he 

 by no means insisted on. He then ushered them out of his domicile, 

 and left them on the exterior side of the rock, where they found that 

 the strength of the whiskey prevented their descent being over deli- 

 berate, however, partly by rolling, and partly by scrambling, they 

 contrived to reach the bottom of the Giant's Stairs, and just as day 

 was beginning to light up the clear blue waters of the Cove of Cork, 

 they were found fast asleep in their boat by Lieutenant Mac Gilli- 

 cuddy, who was in the long yawl of" The Shark," revenue cutter, 

 on the look-out for a choice cargo of contraband tobacco, which he 

 had received information was likely to be run ashore about daybreak. 

 Not one of them blabbed about the visit he had paid; but when 

 they got clear of " The Shark" they enjoined each other to secresy 

 by a "big oath," and it was agreed unanimously that they should 

 take an early opportunity of drinking old Macarthy's health in his 

 own liquor, and ascend again THE GIANT'S STAIRS. R. R. 



ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY, 

 A TUTOR WANTED. 



A TUTOR for my son I want 



In " sables " new and nice, 

 With abundance of acquirements, 



At very moderate price. 

 No miracle or prodigy 



In this case do I seek, 

 But simply one, who every tongue 



With fluency can speak. 

 He must, too, be acquainted well 



With all the foreign classics, 

 And every problem solve with ease 



In globes and mathematics. 

 And he must sing and dance a bit, 



Play chess, draughts, and ecarte, 

 And brilliant and amusing be 



When Fve a pleasant party. 

 He must, too, make conundrums, 



To please my Christmas folks, 

 And tell all sorts of stories, 



And none but first-rate jokes. 

 The salary is small I give, 



Nor will he have much leisure, 

 But then think how genteel he'll live, 



And how refined each pleasure. 

 If he will pay his "up and down," 



I'll see how deep his sense is, 

 For there's a learned parson here 



Can bother him with tenses. 

 From Town I'm scarce three hundred miles, 



They'll bring him in " The Rocket," 

 And, if he should not suit, he'll be 



But five pounds out of pocket!
