A GENUINE lutsismatc—A few days ago as a gen-
tleman of our acquaintance was walking up Nurthgate,
is Wakefield, he was accosted by a son of the Emerald
Isle in the following manner :—" Arrah, yer honour,
and would ye be after telling me the name of the street
opposi:e?" To which the gentleman replied "Provi-
dence-street." " Sure enough, and yer honour, and
that's the very street I'm wanting, and laid], I've a par-
ticular friend who lives in that same street, but, by my
soul, I've intirely and completely forgot his name—per-
haps, now, you would be after telling me his name too."
This so excited our friend's risible facultio, that lie
burst into an immoderate fit of laughter, to the no small
amazement of poor Paddy, who retorted, " Faith, and
you're no gentleman, or you wouldn't be after thrating
one in that manner ; by my soul, but ye may have to
ask the same question yourself, some day." A sec
and
ondfit of laughter was the result of this droll remark,
Paddy, after looking unuttenble walked away,
no doubt to find a more gentlemanly informant.—Leeds
