way with holy water Thus with the clerk
they assembled, there being no other person
who wished or rather,who dared to accompa-
ny him.
I When he had entered the chamber and
seen the monkey, which in her Appearance
very much rcsembled the old lady, he had a
little fear; nevertheless taking courage, he
approached the bed, and, having the sprink-
Ter, began to say " ASpergeS me, Dominic"
| Sprinkle thou me, lord, and to throw the
! holy-water towards the monkey. AS she saw
| the priest shake the sprinkler asif he inten-
ded to strike she began to grin and strike
her teeth together; which the priest seeing,
and believing it to be some spirit, was ter
ribly frightened, and letting fall the sprink-
Ter, fled away. But before that, the clerk,
had thrown the cross and the holy water upon
the ground, and fed down stairs, in so much
fear that, falling, he went down head over
heels, and the priest after him in such
manner did he fall upon his clerk, that they
went tumbling to the bottom like ecls in lake
Garda. The priest continued saying "JeSuS
Dominic, adjNra me" Lord, help me. AT
the noise which the two made in falling down
stairs, the brothers, with those who we're in
the house, ran, and reached them just as they
had fallen to the bottom. The brothers en-
quired what had happened to them. The
priest and his clerk appeared to have been
drawn from the tomb they we're so pald and
downcast. In this manner they stood some
time, but could not speak Even the clerk !
appeared SO aflrighted that he had scratch .
ed his face in several places. Finally the
good priest who perceived his whole body |
injured, drawing a long sigh, tremblngly said I
" Alas my sons, l have seen demon in the
shape of my lady, your mother"
Mistress monkey, who had gone forth from
the bed, was moved to visit the box of sweet
meets and dancing along, she descended
the stairs on which the priest had commen-
ced speaking. She had upon her head the
cap and ribbons of the old lady, and around
her body some pieces Of linen, When she
arrived at the bottom of the stairs, she leaped
among those who were there, and almost put
them to flight, since she indeed resembled the
deceased old lady. But being recognized by
one OF the brothers, there was good reason
that the fear of the bystanders should be con-
verted into laughter ; and 80 much more
would it make them laugh, because in that
habit she began to leap and dance, now here
now there, performing the strangcst antics in
The world. Neither satisfied at having
amused those who had been frightened, she
iancing, went out Of the house, performing
4 thousand grotesque tricks, and with that
lress about her, went into the castle, making
all laugh who saw her.

Cork, 18th March, 1847.
My Dear and Respected Friend: A broth
erhood in promoting the sacred cause of tenn
perance, encourages me to address you by
this endesring title; and fondly hope | have
not been guilty Of presumption.
For your valuable and Interesting present,
return you my grateful Acknowledgements,
and entrcat your acceptance Of the enclosed
medal. 1t was, and still is the dearest desire
of my heart to visit your great and happy
country; but some untoward event has hith-
erto deprived me of this happiness. Under
the present awful, frightful the
idea of forsaking, for any purpose, however
laudablc, my stricken countrymen, my joy
and my crown, could not be entertained for
moment. That great and good God who
disposes all things wisely will, in his own time,
dry up the mournes' tears, and makes us all
happy. Then, with delight, in the name of
the Lord, shall ship myself for one of your
seapOrts May our meeting be fortunate,
pregnant with abundant increase in tee-totaI-
ism.
| have the honor to be, with profound re-
spect, dear sir, yours devotedly,
