SELFISHNESS. 



Within liis house, in a great arm chairj before 

 the fire, sat an old gray headed man, ripe for the 

 grave. 'T was winter ; and tlie cold wind wliis- 

 lled among the leafless branches of the trees, and 

 the snow and sleet rnttled against the windows. 

 'I'he old man chuckled, lor he was warm and com- 

 fortable, and the biting blnst touched him not. He 

 said, " I have enough — I am ricli — so blow ye 

 winds, and drift ye snows, I am safe." A servant 

 entered and said, " Sir, a woman is at the door, 

 trembling in the cold — and has no house to go to. 

 She begs for a corner in your kitchen, to pass tlie 

 night in." "Away; I've no room for thieving 

 beggars — there is a tavern close by ; tell her to 

 go there." The servant delivered the heart-rend- 

 ing message, and returned ; "She says she has no 

 money, and begs you to give her enough to buy a 

 meal and lodging." "Begone! drive her off. 

 What I 've got 's my own, and I '11 keep it. I 've 

 none to squander on worthless mendicants." 



The next morning the old man stepped out into 

 his porch, and there, upon one of the benches, sat 

 the poor beggar woman. His rage was kindled. 

 "Did I not tell you I have nothing for you, impu- 

 dence ! Come, coniej" tramp ; leave my house, I 

 say ; d'ye hear ? " She heard him not ! • She was 

 dead ! Tlie old man smote his breast, and entered 

 his house. He never left it again — for he also 

 died ; and died miserable. 



One of Cromwell's followers, who filled the im- 

 portant station of an Irish justice, at the period of 

 1601, having occasion to write the word usrige, con- 

 trived to spell it without using a letter of the origi- 

 nal word — thus " yowzitch." When some one re- 

 marked upon this specimen of his ignorance, he 

 averred that " nobody could spell with pens made 

 from Irish geese." It was the same fellov.', proba- 

 bly, who first discovered that ingenious way of 

 spelling 'coffee' — viz. kauphy.

 your Cedo Nulli Peas, and have them on my table today -, 

 had the early part of this month iieen as favorable as April, 

 they would have been, I doiibl not, ten days sooner, as they 

 were in bloom the 1st of May." Other references near this
