GUY IT BACK TO HIM.

Two Irish tenants Of Lord -, not many
miles from Dublin, had become somewhat
remiss IN paying up their rent, so that "mi.
lord" was in the habit of sevcraly rebuking
them when its tardy payment was at las,
made. On one occasion, after considerable
delay, one of them made up, out Of his mis-.
cradle earnings, the necessary sum 10 pay
the quarter, and was on his way TO the castle,
when he was met by his neighbor, Barney
Mode, who inquired whittier he was bound.
"An' sure, I'm going TO pay my rint, but
I'm afeer'd the lord will scowd me with
bowld tongue as he did aforelme, aud that
rms agin my conscience, il does"
"That's nather here nor there, Mic" an.
swcrcd his companion, for !, was only yes.
terday paid him meself, and he scowled
me, too, but guy il back TO him, and il ased
me conscience inlircly, it did,"
By the powers, thin, III do that same,
Barney; and though a lord he may be, and
IA genteel, III give him a bit o me mind,
| will"
SO Mick, armed with this bold resolution,
rendered his quarters rent; but as the delin.
qnency was greater than usual, NJ, lord re-
buked him more than usually severe where.
upon Mick rctorted impudently, and the mex,
moment he was kicked out by the servants
into the yard.
Stiff and sore he picked himself up and
limped his way home, where he met Barney,
to whom he related his sad adventure, and
asked him" An did yer indade scowId the
lord Z"
In faith did, Mic, but thin lwas full
mile from the hOouse."
