I am not a sporting luau I noser possessed cither a dog or a jun I never lireil a shot in my life, ami the points of a carbine quadruped are as unknown to me as those of the sea serpent. The 12th "of August is a mystery, and the 1st of September a sealed book. I have been regarded with well-merited contempt at the club by asking for grouse in the month of June, ait.l for woodcock in September. I think it is just as well to mention these matters, lest you should suppose- that I desire to sail under false colors. lam acquainted with several men w htvTyhoot, and also with some who have shooting to give away, ofhe former very frequently invite me to join their pavties at the moors, turnip-fields and woods; the latter press their shooting on me, especially when I decline on the grounds of disinclination and in ca pacity. "I wish Iliad your chance, Brown,' howls poor little Binks, who can bring down any known bird at any given distance. You're always get ting invitations because yo i cannot shoot; avid I cannot get one because I can. It's too bad, by George '.-it's too bad!'" One lovely morning in (he month of September Irwas sauntering along the shady side" ot SackviUe street, Dublin, when a gentleman, encased in a coat of a resounding pattern, all over pockets, and whoso knicker bockers seemed especially constrnct fil to liiiH-t tin? vi n n i i-emen ts f if tl-.w TvKi.it, suihloly burst upon and i .l.-i. .1.1 ciiucneu me. and consequently felt somewhat stir- j prised when thiP time-piece chimed 5 tno quarter past. .

CJome back to hi;,' house with me now, and I'll give yon a drop of John Jameson that will make your hair curl." Declining to have my hair curled through' t!ie instrumentality of Mr. Jameson's unrivalled whiskey, I weeded my way toward the cluU, and, as iuc-k would have it, encoun- i f-vi'd O'llonnnv lonmnnc on the sieps enjoying a cigar.

"Oh pretty good," w as the reply, in Ihatself-satistied, complacent tone u which tlio crack billiard-player refers to the spot-stroke, or a ritle- fnan to his score when campeting for the ()ueen's Cup. "I'm no shot myself I never fired a shot in my life; but there is a ky- ticular friend of mine who is very anxious to have one day's shooting at Ballvbawn. Do you think you could manage to let him have it? 1 emphasised the wont one iu the most impressive way. "I would give one or two days Mr. Brown, -with the greatest pleas ure; but the fact is, I have lent my dogs te ,Sir Patrick O'Houlahan." '"Oh, as to that, my friend has a splendid dog a most remarkable dog. 1 hear it's a treat to see him i a fro.nt.of a bird." I stood manfully by Podgers's ex act words, adding some slight embel lishments, in order to increase Mr. O'Hooiiey's interest in the animal. "In that case, there can be no dif-iivrllfv-, Mr. Brown. I leave for Bal- lvbawn on Saturday will you kindly name Monday, as I w ould, in addition to the pleasure of receiving you and your fiiotid, like to witness "the per formance of tin's remarkable dog; and 1 must be in Galwav on Wed nesday." Having settled the preliminaries so satisfactorily, I wrote the follow ing note to Podgers: "Dk.u: Poi.om.s: Tf oil riMit. Mr. O'Kooney has named Monday.

I received a gushing note in reply, stating that he would breakfast with me, and bring the dog, add hi" "It's sometime since he was shot ovei but that makes no difference, as he' is the finest dog in Leinster." Knowing Podgers to be a very i punctual sort of person, I had order- 1 td breakfast for eight after her. . Hhe was on the head, and he was too high foe mc to reach him, when J got the hook of this umbrella and" At this moment the hall door open ed, and the dog being animated with mi euorgetic desire to explore the interior of. the house, suddenly relat ed the pall upon the chain, which ntterly unexpected movement sent ledgers flying into the hall as'though ho had been discharged from a cata- i pott. My maid-of -all-walk, an eld erly lady with proclivities in tlio direction of "sperrits," happened to stand right in the centre of the door way. "When Potigers commenced ms unmeditated bound. He cannoned against her, causing her to reel and stagger ji gainst the wall, and to clutch despairingh'. at the. nearest available object to ..save herself from falling. The object happened to be the curly head of my acrobatic friend, to which hlit-'fivtf llugeirs clung like the suckers of tUo octopus cling to the. crab. By the aid of thiiS substantial support she had just righted herself, when the dog, finding himself compara tively frem;.da one desperate lunge into the hall, G it wining his chain round the limbs of the lady in one ron-B whirl which leveled her, wita a very heavy thud, upon the jody of the prostrate.

He has a d.hrop in Li.j eye like a widdy'.s pig, and it's as black as a (,'hiistian's after a ruction." "He's a very lino dmr, sir," ex claimed Podgers in reproving tone. He looks a if he'd set a in -mil said the carman jocosely. . "Mind your hoise, Kir!" saiil Pod- from both mazier aud dog, and that tt behooveo lier to deft uU herself to the uttermost limits within her pow er, I cannot po.isibly deterniiue; bxit she commenced a most vigorous on slaught upon both, bestowing a kick and a cull' alternately with an impar tiality that spoke volumes in favor of her ideas upon the principles of, even. and indeed I, may add, heavy-handed justice. : I arrived upon the sctneaii time to raise the prostrate form of mv friend, and to administer such words of consolation and sympathy as, un let- the circumstances, were his due. His left eve betrayed symptoms of incipient inllamation, and his mouth ive evidence of the violence with which Miss Bridget Byrne (the lady in the case) had brought her some what heavy knuckle-dusters in con tact with it. "Bringin' wild bastes into a gintle mait's dacint house as if 'twas a barn, that's manners!" she muttered. "Av I can get a clout at that dog, I'll as bare as a plucked 's Bridge term- lave him thrush !" At this instant a violent crash of crockerywaro was heard in the re gions of the kitchen. "Holy virgin! but the baste is cn the dhresser! I'll dhress the vyllin!" and seizins upon a very stout ash stick which stood iu the hall, she darted rapidly iu the direction from whence the dire sounds, were pro ceeding. "Hold hard, woman," cried Pod gers. "He's a very valuable animal. I'll make good any damage, use your authority, Brown," he added, appealing to me. "She's a terrible person this; she'd stop at nothing." Ere I could interpose, a violent .skirmishincr took place, in which such exclamations as "Take that, ye .... i i 1 divvle! leil brake mo ciianey, will ve? There's chaney for ye!" follow ed bv very audible whacks, which, if they had fulfilled their intended mission, would very speedily have sent the dog to the happy hunting grounds of his race. One well-directed blow, however, made it's mark, aud was succeeded by a whoop of triumph from Miss Byrne and a yell of anguish from her vanquished foe. "vJehing, ve fireside spaniel! To i;-r. n tho r.ei'jrhbors. How dar' ye come in here? Ye'li sup sorrow, rn rrivt. n. conoid more av I can get at ye." Podgers rushed to the rescue, aud, after aprotracted and exciting chase, durin" which a well-directed blow intended bv Bridget for the solo use and benefit of the dog, had alighted on the head of its master, succeeded in effecting a capture. This, too, was don under embarrassing circum stances; for the dog had sought a . il v.-. nrnci nr-rs: of sanctuary iu ov,v - - r;-o liT-n's; sleeiun gers angrily. The driver, who was a jovial tem pered fellow, finding that hi ad vances towards "the other .-idc" were rejected, turned towards mine. "Are you goin' huntin' v.id tne dog. sir?" ho asked. "We're going to shoot," I replied in a dignified way. "To shoot! Thin, begorra, yez may as'v;ell get off the an' lire away ot waust. There's an illigant hay stack foreninst yez, and but here we are" and he jerked up at the en trance, to the station. The jerk scut Albatross flying' oil the car, and hi chain boiTjg dexter ously furdened to tho back rail of the driver's sent, the luckless animal re mained suspended whilst his collar was being unfastened, in-order to prevent tho not very remote contin gency of f-.trangulation. Finding himself at liberty, lie' bounded joy ously away, and, resisting all wiles and blandishments on tho part ot his 1 master, continued to bound, gambol,' frisk, bark and yowl in a most reck less and idiotic- way. It would not be acting fairly towards Podgers were I to chronicle his language dur ing this festive outbreak. If the dog wiv. iu a frolicsome mood, Podgers whs not, and his - feelings get con siderably the better of him when the bell iang to announce the departure of the train within three minutes from that warning. 1 . rinding that all hopes of securing the animal in the ordinary way was thiu as air, Podgers offered a reward of half-a-crowu to any of the grin ning bystanders who would bring him the dog dead or alive. This stimulus to exertion sent twenty cor duroyed porters and as manv ama teurs in full pursuit of Albatross, who ducked ami dived, and twisted and twined, and eluded detention with the agility of a greased cow; and it w as only w hen one very cor pulent railway official fell upon him in a squashing way, and during a masterly struggle to emerge from be neath the overwaclming weight, that ho was surrounded find led in tri umph, b.y as many of his pursuers as could obtain a handful of his hair, up to his irate and wrathful master. Each of the captors who were in pos session of Albatross claimed a half crown, refusing to give up the ani mal unless it was duly ransomed; and it was during a fierce and angry discussion upon this very delicate question that the last bell rang. With one despairing tug, Podgers pulled the dog inside of the door of the station, which was then prompt ly closed, and through the interven tion of a friendly guard our bete noire was thrust into the carriage with us. Havintr kicked tho cause of our chaa-riu beneath one of the seats. I ventured to remark that in all proba bility the dog, instead ot being a credit to us, was very likely to prove the reverse. "Its only his liveliness, ana oe liano-e.1 to him." said Podgers. "Ho has been shut up for soma time, and is as wild as a deer. He would not admit ii diminished faith in the dog; but his tone was ir resolute, and he eyed the animal in a very doubting way. "iris liveliness ought to be con- under the sea-t Come out, Albatross! come 'out, good fellow!" And Podgers' chir. rujied and whistled in what to meant to be a seductive and blandish ing manner. '-'.-.. Albatross stirred not; - " - ' "Hi! hi! Here, good. fellow!" . : Albatross commenced, to growl. "Dear me, this is very awkward u 1 .cried Podgers, poking at the animal : in a vigorous and irritated 'way'. "Time's tip, sir," shouted the guard, essaying to close the door. I "Hold hard, sir! I can't -get my dog out!" cried Podgers. ' ." ; "I'll get him out, volunteered the 1 fnard; and seizing upon the whip whi-'h the driver of the smart; trap held in inviting proximity, he pro ; ceed d to thrust and buffet beneath tin seat w here Albatross lay concealed. : The dog uttered no sound, gave no : sign. . .. . " i he re, ain't no dog there at-.all," panted the guaitt, whoso exertions ' rendered him nearly apoplectie, pro ceeding to explore the recesses of the ' carriage "there ain't no dog here." A shout of terror, and the guard flung himself out of the carriage, the dog hanging on not' only to his coafc tail.-, but to a portion of the garment which their drapery concealed. Take off your dog take off your dog. Til bi; destroyed. Police! po lice! I'll have the law on you!" he gelled, in an extremity of .the utmost terror. Podgers, who was now nearly ! driven to his wits' end, caught Alba tross by the neck and, bestowing a series of very well directed kicks uip on the devoted animal, sentUim howl o.ti the platform, but right unOei- the train. The cry of "The dog will be killed!" was raised by a chorus of. voices both from the carriages and the platfo"rm. Happily, however, the now wary Al batross lay flat upon the ground, and the train 'went pulling oh its ."way-; not, however, until tfie guard bad taken Podger's . name and address, with a view to future proceedings through the medium of the law. "I had no idea that the OTlooneys were such swells," observed myxiam panion as wre entered, through tho massive and gilded gates, to the ave nue which sweeps up to BaUybawn House. "Somehow or: other, 1 wish I hadn't fetched Albatross, or that you hadn't spoken .about him;v and Podgers threw a gloomy glance iu tho direction of tho pointer, who lay at our feet in tho bottom of the trap, looking as if he had been on a ram page for the previous mouth, or had just emerged from the asjluin for the destitute of his species. "Ho won't do us mnch credit as regards his appearance," I said, "but iT he is all that you say as a sporting dog of which I have inv doubts" it Avill make amends for anything Podgers muttered something unin telligible, and I saw dismal forebod ings written in every line of his den-rake that lay against the walF, I dealt at Albatross what ought to have proved a crushing blow, which r he artfully eluded. It only grazed him, and fell, with almost its full swing: and strength, upon the passive set ter, who set up a series o unearthly shrieks, almost human in their'pain ful shrillness. "Chain up that dog at once," shouted OTtooney in fierce and iingry tones, "and look to Lancaster. I fear that his ribs are broken. This is very unfortunate,"-he added, ad ,l.A.'.,.;.,i. i.:..,..u i. I ii;s5iiiy n 1111 sen lo Hie. "X don't know w hat's come, over the animal!" cried Podgers. "I wish to heaven I had never seon him. I'll 'part with him to-morrow if I have to give him to the Zoological Gardens for the bears." Imck ily, it turned out, cujion ex amination, that Lancaster was not in any way seriously injured. This put us into somewhat better spirits, so that by the time breakfast was enn- cluded we were on good terms with each othe,r, and even with the wretch ed Albatross, in whom we still main tain a sort of sickly confidence. Later on we started for the turnips, Mr. OTtooney and Podgers in front Uis latter hauling Albatross al News Column. gerfi. siderably toued down afte tho rough handling he received from my ser vant, and " a "77v the-wav. Podgers went on "H.it infernal woman isn't safe have in the house: she'll be tried for to murder some kday, and the coroner j felice countenance. Mr. OTlooney received us at the halt door. Beside him crouched two magnificent setters, with coats as glossy ay mirrors; and a bearing as aristocratic as that of Bethgellart. "Where's the dog?" asked our host, after tw warm erecting-. "I hone that you have brought him." I must confess that I wonhl have paid a considerable sum of money to have been enabled to reply in the negative. I muttered that we had indeed fetched him, but that owing to his having met with some acci dents e voitvic, his personal appear ance was considerably diminished; but that we were not to judge books by their covers. s if to worry, mortify and vex us, Albatross declined to stir front the bottom of the trap, from whence he was subsequently rooted out in most undignified and anti-sporting way. The expression upon Mr. O Boo ne v's face, when at length the ani mal, badger-like, was draw, out, was that of an intense astonishment, com bined with a mirth convulsively com pressed. The servants commenced to titter, and the smart little gentle man who tooled us over, actually laughed outright. Albatross was partly coverd with mud aud offal. His eyes were watery, and tho lids were of a dull pink, im parting a sort of maudlin idiotcy to their expression. His right ear stood up defiantly, whilst his left lay fiat upon his jowl, and histailsecmed to have disappeared altogether, so tightly had he, under the combined influence of fear and dejection, se cured it between his legs. "He's not very handsome," ob served our host laughingly, "but I dare say he will take the shine out of York and Lancaster by and bye," pointing to the two setters as he spoke. 3 This hint was enough for Alba tross, as no sooner had the wonts es caped the lips of O'Boouey than, with a yowl which sent the rooks whirling" from their nests, he darted from the trap, and, making a charge at York, sent that aristocratic animal flying up ti e avenue in a paroxysm of terror and despair; whilst Lan carter, paralyzed by the suddenness of the onslaught, allowed himself to be seized by the neck, and worried, as a cat worries a mouse, without as much as moving a muscle iu self-de- alom? -as if ho were a sack of wheat; while l brought up tlie rear win a game keeper and York. "I don't think that animal is used to be out at all, at all," .observed the keeper " o r "I am afraid you are quite right," I replied; "but I hear that he is a verv good sporting dog. "Sportm"! Begorra, he'll give yez S2"CH"fc enough before the day is half Over-, said the keeper, with a gloomy grin. Xhore is always a covey to be found in this field," observed our host- to Podgers, "so v,-o'll give your dog the hrst chance. 'T I .I'd rather von'd let him see what your dog will do," bluitedPod- o "Oh. dear no!" returned Mr. O'lfoonev. "Let him go now. You'll take the lir,st shot." x Very reluctantly indeed did Pod-' gers unloose his pointer, uttering in to the dog s car in a low tone the most terrific and appalling threats should he fail to prove himself all that my fancy had painted him. With a loud bark of defiance Alba tross darted away, scurrying through the turnips at the rate of - fifteen miles an hour, utterly unmindful of whistle, call, blandishment or threat; appearing now in on direction, now iu another, and barking as though it had been part of hi training. iStop that dog, said our host; "he won't leave us a bird," as covey after covey of partridges rose bej ond range and Hew away, Albatross joy ously barking alter them. 'You said I was to have the first shot, Mr. OTlooney," said Podgers, in a tone full of solemnity. "Certainly, if you can get it; which I doubt," was the curt reply.

M. Gainbetta has been interviewed ! at Vienna by the I'rcsse. Congratu lated on the peaceable progress of French politics, he eulogized the good sense and tact of his country men, who, in spite of the strange pro cedure of the Assembly, and the use less annoyance of incapable Prefects and obnoxious Mayors, have dis played admirable composure; and moderation, patiently awaiting the amelioration of their position at the next election. He is not uneasy at party divisions, aud the intrigues of Legitimists, Orleanists, or Bonapart ists, for all these shades do not pene trate to the heart of the nation, which only desires and needs a liberal gov ernment, carrying on conscientiously public affairs, and watching over the good administration of justice. With six or eight years' internal and ex ternal peace, France will astonish the world, even more than, by its in exhaustible material and moral re sources. The Bonapartists may at most double their numbers in the next Chamber, but in spite of their iuss ami activity tney cannot seize on the government nor tamper with -the spirit ot discipline which lire vails in the army. Admiral La Kon- ciere s is an isolated case, and he wouh not have written the letter had fie suspected the interpretation it would have received.

I discussed the question recently with an able physician, who said to me: "Ihcre is nothing more absurd than to pretend c'iis unhealthy to sleep immediately after the daVs last meal. Is not man an animal 't Do not animals, without exception, sleep immediately alter eating? Do we not feel like sleeping after oaeu dav's meal? and is it not bv an cfSa't that we shakeo off sleep? Evidenifv the body yearns for sleep. Exercise immediately after each meat is per nicious. Best is healthful. What restcan compare with sleep which reposes the mind, the lungs, even the heart? See the peasants. 2s o persons enjoy better health than they do. Supper is the best meal of their day. No sooner have they supped than they go to bed. Look at the actors. "There was Bubini. He dined at tluee, went to his dressing room iu tho Italian Opera House and slept till theatre opened its doors. At midnight he supped heartily, and straight to bed he went. He died of sheer old age. You know Mons. Thiers' habit? The moment dinner ends he stretches himself out to sleep, and sleeps an hour. The truth is if von look around you there will be found that the great majority oof men go to sleep immediately after making their best meal. Yo.i cei tainlv never saw anywhere in the world healthier women thau those of the great markets. What is their rule of life? Dinner and to bed. Take another, the ve.-j oppo site class astronomers. They keep late hours. Their best meal is taken when the stars say, 'good ni-ht.' Then they go to sleep. Did you ever hear of an astronomer dying under a hundred? The majority of servants and mechanics go to sleep imme diately after taking their best meal. They are right. They obey nature's voice, which always gives judicious counsel."
