Denis then shook hands with them all, not forgetting
honest Phadrick Murray, who exclaimed, as he bid him
farewell, " Arrah ! Misther Denis, aroon, won't you be
thinkin' of me now an' thin in the College! Faix, if you
always argue as bravely wid the Collegians as you did the
day you proved me to be an ass, you'll soon be at the
head of them !"
" Denis," said the uncle, " your father excuses me in
rvard of havin' to attend my cattle in the fair to-day.
You won't be angry wid me, dear, for lavin' you now, as
my road lies this other way. May the blessin' of God
and his holy mother keep you till I see you agin ! an',
Denis, if you'd send me a scrape or two, letting me know
what a good parish 'lid be worth ; for I intend next spring
to go wid little Barny to the Latin !"
This Denis promised to do ; and after bidding him fare-
well, he and his friends—some on horseback and numbers
on foot—set out on their journey; and as they proceeded
through their own neighbourhood, many a crowd was
collected to get a sight of Denis 0' Shaughnessy goiny to
Maynooth.

It was one day in autumn, after a lapse of about two
years, that the following conversation took place between
a wealthy grazier from the neighbouring parish, and one
of our hero's most intimate acquaintances. It is valuable
only as it throws light upon Denis's ultimate situation in
life, which, after all, was not what our readers might be
inclined to expect.
" Why, then, honest man," said Denis's friend, " that
's a mui.dherin fine dhrove o' bullocks you're bringin' to
the fair ? "
"Ay !" replied the grazier, " you may say that. I'm
thinkin' it wouldn't be asay to aquil them."
" Fais, sure enough. Where wor they fed, wid aim.
mission ? "
"Up in Teernahusshogue. Arrah, will you tell me
what weddin' was that that passed a while agone?"
" A son of ould Denis O'Shaughnessy's, God be mer-
ciful to his sowl!"
" Denis O'Shaughnessy ! Is it him they called the
Pigeon-house'? An' is it possible he 's dead ? "
He 's dead, nabour, an', in throth, an honest man 's
dead! "
"As ever broke the world's bread. The Lord make
his bed in heaven this day ! Hasn't he a son larnin' to
be a priest in Maynewth ?"
"Ah ! Fahreer gairh ! That 'a all over."
" Why, is he dead, too ? "
"Be Gorra, no—but the conthrairy to that. 'Twas
his weddin' you seen passin' a minute agone."
"Is it the young sogarth's ? Musha, bad end to you,
man alive, an' spake out. Tell us how that happened?
Sowl it 's a quare business, an' him was in Maynewth !"
" Faith, be was so ; an' they say there wasn't a man in
Maynewth able to tache him. But, passin' that over—
you see, the father, ould Denis—an' be Gorra, he was
very bright too, till the son grewn up, an' drownded him
wid the languidges—the father, you see, ould Denis him-
self, tuck a faver whin the son was near a year in the col-
lege, an' it proved too many for him. He died ; an' whin
young Dinny hard of it, the divil a one of him would stay
any longer in Maynewth. He came home like a scare-
crow, said be lost his health in it, an' refused to go back.
Faith, it was a lucky thing that his father died before-
hand, for it would brake his heart. As it was, they had
terrible work about it. But ould Denis is never dead
while young Denis is livin'. Faix, he was as stiff as they
wor stout, an' wouldn't give in ; so, Other ever so much
wranglin', he got the upper hand by tellin' them that he
wasn't able to bear the college at all, an' that if he 'd go
back to it he 'd soon folly his father."
" An' what turned him against the college? Was that
flame ? "

" Thrue !—thrue indeed ! The same youth was never
at a loss for a piece of invintion when it sarved him. No,
the sarra word of thruth at all was in it. He soodhered
an' palavered a daughter of Owen Connor's, Susy—all
the daughther he has, indeed—before be wint to May-
newth at all, they st'''. She herself wasn't for marryin'
him, in regard of a vow she had; but there's no doubt
but he made her fond of him, for he has a tongue that 'ud
made black white, or white black, for that mattber. So,
