PAT AND THE PIG.

AS ABOLITION TALE OF THE WAR. Of all the merry, witty, fun-loving, good mtureil, care-for-nanght, dare-devil Irishmen that ever left his Knierald Isle to sow his viki oats in a foreign land, Patrick Flaunigaii v.as one among the chief. Always ready for a frolic or a fight, lie was one of the first to shoulder his musket in defense of his adopted country against a gita itic rebellion, and within his manly ! breast ho carried a soldier's heart to the lend of his mortal career. Uetter men J perhaps have died, but never a braver one ed the iron hail of a belching battery; üd v.hen at List his cold aud ghastly form was borne back from the cnanguined front uf a desperately fought battle, to find its last, quiet rest in a soldier's grave, many a comrade's eye paid a sad tribute to his1 memory. J'oor Tat wr.F the bfc of his mess; aud of all those who knew him intimately, not oue wiil ever forget him, for the fun that made light a;:d pleasant many an otherwise dull and gloomy hour, lie seemed to be always in good spirits, and had a cheerful smile and a word lor everybody; but his be":t friend was not safe fiom his joking propensities, which he would indulge at any cost and every hazard. Thus he was continually getting hiinscli into scrapes 'jthat threatened something serious, and 1 irettiiK' himseli out 01 them m a manner 1 7 peculiar to Patrick FLinnigan. . l'ut was an I ri.-Iuii:ui : 11 over in um, ! frolic, roiie, fight, warm blood, a rich brogue,

ana mother wit. vt a dance, at a wake, ; b.iek. The harder he tugged the tighter drinking whisky, ringing sougs, telling it closed on poor Piggy's sides Pat jerkstories, making love, cracking heads, or cd and cursed, and the Pig struggled and charging a battery, he was at home in his squealed. Such squeals too! the very clement, nm.l aeknowledgcd no superior, j owner ot the pig, living anywhere within and at eight-and-twenty vcars of age he a wile, might hire heard it.

Tn this way juict was once more restored and the fowls and piirs were aain allowed to pass their nights in peace. "It's meself now an don't like it, at all, at all,' said Pal eine day, as Chrhtnias was j drawing near, "bure.it snot uoing the dacent thin, to kapc u4 on hard tack and salt junk, like so many heathens, with thc hlissed Christmas lernest us, and s. many swate, frcsli craters running loose all about us. Da gorra, I'll notsthand it, no more, I won't ! and if I don't have one Christmas meal, then tell me I'm not an Irish man. Doubtless Tat would have made his; word good but for an accident, to which all human nature is liable. As no complaints had been made by thc citizens for some considerable time, the severe camp regulations had become so much relaxed that I'at found little uilSculty in getting j past tho sentries ct. niht on three different occasions; with first a live turkey secondly tvro respectable live hens and thirdly, a live pig all of which were intended for a Christmas feast, and only to bo killed on the eve before tho holiday. These wero put in separate boxes, in thc shanty occupied by his mess, and Pat took caro to keep them from staning till thc appointed time of butchery. The pig was thc most trouble-oine, for he would sometimes grunt and squeal through the day; hut by covering the box over with a number ol blaukets, and talking loud or sinking, if any of tho superior ohicers chanced to be dangerously near, managed t. preserve their seeret and escape detection till the last moment. On Christmas eve, Pat said to his comrades : "Xow", boys, tho time 's up, and I'm jist agnin to kill the herds, beginning wid the pVg. Yo'd letter go out side and kape watch that nobody comes, and tip mo the loud wink if there docs." "Well, hurry up," retorted ouo. ' "Ihrn't you want some help about the pig?" inouir'd another. nd av I did, Tim, yo' bo tho la.t man TM it more by token, ye'ro as full of blunder as an egg is 01 mate. io, sorry a bit of help does I want to stick thc pig, cept ye kapc troublesome paplc away from me the whiles." . The men had only furly got themse lves souped around the door of thc shanty, when they espied tho Colonol sauntering cnr lor.g in thr-'r direction.

"If the pig should happen to squeal

now; said one, uit would be a sorry busi ness for us. "We must tell Pat not to begin just yet, for I wouldn't bo c night for forty Christmas dinners." At this moment a tremendous thrashing sound was made inside followed almost instantly by a scries of pig squeals that might have been heard a mile. The Colonel stopped in surprise and looked toward the shanty, and '.each man's hair stood up in horror. "The Colonel's coming, you confound ed fool . yelled one ol the 1 Tightened aud indignant mess, thrusting his head into; the room where poor Pat was hmisch undergoing the agonies of a fright brought aoout by a wretched blunder. In taking the pig out of the box, after first securing him bv the snout, so that he could make no noise, Pat had left him slip from Ids hands, and the frightened animal had commenced running about the room, with his would-be slayer nt his heels. Finding a board loose on one side of the 1 shanty. 3Ir. Pig had attempted to go through and trv his fortune in another quarter, and Mr. Tlannigan, being contrary minded, had attempted to prevent it. For a timo it was a sort of draw jramc betweeu the two. Pig had forced his head and half his body through the aperture, and in that position Pat had caught him S by the html legs and endeavored to pull l- i , n. 1 1 , mm oaeK. Ane loose ooani was accommodating enough one vav. but not the other. It would let Pig go through easy enough, but it wouldn't let Pat pull him Pat was resolved, however, not to be ..... - I

"Anah. now. it's like I hoard tho same thing! said Pat; "it did sound like a pi; :'" And it areared to bo in here!' continned tho Colonel. 'And by tho same token, it appeared to meself to be 'outside !" returned Pat, speaking the literal truth, for the head of thc pig had unfortunately been outside at thc very moment of doing his loudest yelling. "What's inhere?" pursued the Colonel, taking two or three long, ejuick strides, and lifting the cover of the very box in which the cause of so much elisturbancc was concealed. y this time a crowd of loiterers had began to collect at tho shanty, and the room was half filled with curious and eager listeners. "Them's blankets, sir," replied Pat, with an innocent look, as he irlanccd into ihe box and saw the pig was not in sight, lhe Lolocel angrily slammed down the lid of thc box, and w heeled em his heel to depart, but the noise started poor piggy again, and ho gave fearful 'woo-oclh.' "ilallo! exclaimed thc Colonel, reopcing thc box and whirling out the blannhots. "What's this i ' he cried, seizing Pat by the arm, and pointing to thc trembling porker. "It's a pig, sir." replied Pat looking as if he considered himself called upon to find a sagacious solution of some zoological my s ter'. "It looks like a pig, does it?" said the Colonel, with suppressed passion. "It does, sir !" ".Perhaps it is a pig " "I should't wonder, sir," "In fact I hii'-xo it is a pig !" "boelo I, sir!" There was a suppressed titter among the spectators, and the Colonel was ready to explode wdii anger. "j low came it iu here?" pnrsucd thc excited officer. "Ah, troth, and how should I know thai, sir?" replied Pat, scratching his cranium; "sonic pigs has mighty strange ways of poking their noses into places where they're not wanted, sir This was considered by the crowd a 'ood hit at the Colonel, who had made hiuself very unpopular by his cot-bi tty propensities, and at tho risk of being punished, the winde party burst out 111 roars of laughter. "You shall spend your Christ mas in the tru rd-hoiise, ym villain I cried the t 0I0nel, shaking his fist in Pat's face; "and white with rage, he started out through tho parted crowd and hastened tohis ejuartcrs.

"Here, woman," said he, "what is your confounded pig worth;" "Tin dollars sorry a chit less." "Well, here," returned the Colonel, hastily producing his pocket-book t "here is your money, and now say no more about t ;t and go about your business."

The next day the w hole camp was laughing at the joke, and wo believe the Colonel has not heard the last of it vot. In due time Patrick Ilauuigan was sot at liberty without being court martialed, and then the whole truth came out.

Most men arc not so dead to moral principles but what they feci a spontaneous glow of admiration for the man who does right because it is right, no matter if he does make less money by it. Some few j men say Le was a fool or a lunatic not to make the most of his advantages, right or wrong, but thc heart ot many is loyal to rectitude. We look and admire, and praise. We cannot help it. He who in a selfish, covetous aire, when all men are fighting and scrambling for money, stands upstiongin his integrity, and modestly eloes the thing not that is legal, not that is expected, not that is customary, not that is as others do, or as many preach, but does the thing which is right, such a man is worthy of all imitation.

It is a remarkable fact that tho career of lour of the most renowned characters that ever lived, closed with some violent or mournful death.
