Onsurinoe Imposthersv

The Baltimore underwriter is respon- sible for the following :——

A son of Erin entered the oilicc of a Fire and Life Insurance Agency, of the first respectability. and excitedly exclaim- ed, “The topo' the mornin' to your honour: but me oi;l wooden stable was burned down last night, aml ye'il be after puyin‘ me the nine hundred dollars on the sumc."

“All right," was the reply, “ we will attend to it."

Put insisted that " no attintion was wanted," but demanded the money. as -the stable was “ clean gone intirely."

He was informed that, as the building .cost three hundred dollars, and as the City ordinance now required brick or s'ono buildings, according to the term of the policy. the Company might elect to build a new one. which could be er- ected for five hundred dollars; besides. the Company are entitled to sixty days' grace. in the settlement of claims.

Pat rushed out of the oilicc, exclaim- ing ‘Onshurince is a devil of a humbug !‘

Within a month. a new brick stable occupied the site of the old one, but Pat was not satisfied ; for a few days latcrhe again appeared at the office, saying his policy called for nine hundred dollars, “ an." bedad ye'll be afthcr payin' me the balance.”

When he found his case hopeless, he indignantly turned his back upon the oilicers, bitterly cursing all “ Onsurince imposthcrs.

A day or two later Pat made a third visit to the same Agency, and contempt- uously throwing upon the counter a thous- and dollar policy on the life of his wife, declaring that he was “done with ous- liurincc intii‘cly, and that iflliddy should chance to die (which the Lord iorbid),

An Ilisbjuror having applied to the judge to be excused from serving on ac— count ofdeufness, thejudgc said, “ Could you hear my clings to the jury, sir ?" “Yes, I heard your Honor's charge," said Paddy, “ but I could not make any sense out of it." He was excused.

A reporter, in an article on the des- titute poor, spoke of the great number of persons reduced to poverty by the “ my- sterious decrees of Providence.” llis nstvnishmcnt may be imagined when he now the printer had altered it to “the mysterious decrease of provision."
