IRISH PRIEST.—An Irish peasant complained
to the catholic priest of his parish, that some
person had stolen his best pig, and supplicated
his reverence to help him to the discovery
of the thief. The priest promised him his best
endeavours, and his inquiries soon leading him
to a pretty correct guess as to the offender, he
took the following amusing method of bringing the
matter home to him. Next Sunday, after the
service of the day, he called out with a loud
voice, fixing his eyes on the suspected individual,
" who stole Pat Doolan's pig ?" There was a
long pausr, and no answer ; he did not expect
that there would be any, and descended from
the pulpit without saying a word more. A second
Sunday arriving without the pig being restored, his
reverence again looking stedfastly at the stubborn
purloiner, and throwing a deep note of anger
into the tone of his voice, repeated the question,
" who. stole Pat Doolan's pig ? I say, who stole
poor Pat Doolan's pig ?" Still there was no
answer, and the question was left, as before, to
work its effect in secret on the conscience of the
guilty individual. The hardihood of the offender,
however, exceeded all the honest priest's calcu-
lations. A third Sunday arrived and Pat Doolan
was still without his pig. Some stronger mea-
sure now became necessary. After service was
performed, his Reverence dropping the ques-
tion of " Who stole I'at Doolan's pig ?" but
still without direcly accusing any one of the
theft, reproachfully exclaimed, " Jimmie Do-
ran, Jimmie Doran ! you treat me with con-
tempt." Jimmie Doran hung down his head,
and next morning the pig was found at the door
of Pat Doolan's cabin.
