How lie CONVERTED JEw.-A "raal
hard sinner" native of the Emerald
Isle, went to confession the other day to
his parish priest, and so shocked the
clergyman with recital of his sins, that
he exclaimed:
MY son, did you ever do good deed
in your life I"
II did," said Pat, II converted a
Jew once"
:" How was that?" inquired the con-
fessor.
"You see," said Pat, ''the long-nozed,
pork aiting, numbering blaggard fell
overheard, and | put after his carcasc in
a bote. l seized him by the top-not,
just as he was going down the second
time, and pulled his head above the sur
face and says /,
If save you, will you be Christ
ian p
4 won't said he; and with that |
deposited his head about three feet unther
again. Pulled him up once more, and
put the question anew,
viii you be Christian 2 to which
he again answered No. gruilly.'
Il give him another dip, and brought
him up putting like porpoise."
viii you be a Christian nowP
Yes says he, and his teeth were
chattcring for all the world like a mon
key that had burned his toes
'Woll,' said I, youare now converted
and you'd better die in the faith; and SC
saying, I held him unther until his spirit
had departed.
1t is about as difficult to learn what
view the priest took of this story, as il
is to learn ''what became of the sowl.
