IRISH INGENUITY.

When Cen. " was quartered in small town
in Ireland, he and his lady were regularly besieged,
whenever they got into their carriage, by an old
beggar woman, who kept her post al the door, as
sailing them daily with fresh opportunities and fresh
tales of distress At last the ladys charity and the
generals patience, were nearly exhausted but their
petitioners wit was still in its pristine vigor. One
morning, at the accustomed hour when the lady
was getting intoher carriage the old woman began
(" Agh my lady success TO your iadyship, and
success to your honors honor, this morning, OF all
DAYS in the year; for didn't dream last night,
that her ladyship gaze me pound OF ia, and that
your honor gave me pound of tobacco - Fl" But,
INV good woman" said the general. do you know,
that dreams always go by the rule Of contrary y
Do they So phase your honor 20 rejoined the old
woman" Then it must be your honor that will
give me the Ia, and her adyship that will give me
the tobacco'' The general being OF Sterne's opin.
ion. that bon mot is always worth something, ever
more than a pinch of snuff, gave the ingeniou:
dreamer the value of her dream.
