How To GET • CLEAN SHIRT IN IRELAND.—
While disowning with my new acquaintance the quandary
in which I found myself placed by the non• arrival of my
=aßonham Killarney (having nothing but soiled linen
vail's), the blacking bagman exclaimed—" That's
very easily settled ; ring Mrs. Kilroy 's bell in the lefthand
former." No sootier said than done. In a minute the land-
lady swami, and I explained to her my embarrassment is
not banns a clean shirt for the Sunday's wear. "Merciful
Jame " she exclaimed. " shun its now nigh ei4ht o'clock
at night, and Biddy Mulkern, the washerwoman, is gone to
bed. Troth, and I scarce know what's to be done. Yet
stop a bit, jewel. I've just hit it. If your honour has no
objection, share I'll nay you're Father K—,oonsetopreach
to-morrow morn in St John's chapel and that you can't do
so by no manner of manes without a close white shirt! " I
relished the pious fraud extremely, and entered into it with
test, and the result was that oo the early Sunday morning I
toned a couple of clean shirts laid on a chair before in; bed-
room doer.—Framer's Magazine for May.
