his any day-but as to the bullocks-bedad
your honor, myself dosen't rightly understand
what you're tilking about at all, at all"
"Why-the bulocks he sent hero on the
day went to Dublin--the ten fat bulocks
he sent by his own man; Kelly think, is his
name"
"Arrah, the duce bullock, begging your hon
or's pardon. he ever sent here, the old rogue--
they'd bring the murrain or some miaugh among
us, 50 they would" ........
"Old Kedagh trckcd me- them" shouted the
roman counsellor.
And so he did, The herd had been waiting
an hour at head OF the avenue to intercept him,
as we have related, and no sooner was the car
! riage out of sight by an angle ofthe road than,
according to his master's directions, he turned
the bullocks heads, and before evening they
were browsing quietly in their native pastures,
whence they had been called that morning to
effect the deception. ............ ...,....
| twas little wonder that Malone should be
deeply exasperated at the trick so Illuminating
| to hun and successful to the outwitter and Just
as little that honest Kedagh should take credit
| to himself for so nea t of chchanery; it was, in
fact, subject of merriment to him for long
time AFTER until some dilemma similar TO that
which gave rise to the expedient we have related,
occurred, and compelled him to try and make
peace with his incensed advocate. The hope
less task was undertaken in tho same spirit
which characterized his former proceedings
Kedagh took to his bed-was ill--very ill--go-
ing to die, in fact. 1t was not long until an ac-
count Of his illness reached Jamestown, and
last on the heels ofreport followed a messenger
from the invalid requesting to see his dear friend
the counsellor.
"Confoand the rascal" exclaimed Malone,
'his impudence is insuferable- can he
want with me?"
"Qh, your honor" said the, afflicted messen-
ger, he's stretched for death, and won't die aisy
ifhc don't see you an the priest"
"Well now, for curiositys sake" said Ma
lone, 81 will go over and hear what he has TO
say; it would really be a pity not to hear Ke-
dagh repcnting"
The counsellor arrived, and was shown into
the darkest room, where poor Kedagh was
waiting his final call. ..... ....
"You wished to see me, Mr.. Geoghagan, be-
lieve,' aid Malonein the coolest tone OF voice ho
could assume. ,....
7"Counselor dear, is that you?" whined the
invalid, from the middle Of the bed, in the cor.
ner.
"Upon my word, Mr.. Geoghagan, you may
well ask the question with doubtafter the man
Fner you treated me, and used my nalifo''
"Oh counselor, dearer, sure you wouldn't be
50 ripping up old stories on a dying man; God
forgive my SINS but l'yc a great deal to answer
for; forget and forgive, avick; that was your faith
er's way, rest his soul; knew him well, and
many's the time | saw him sitting in his arm
chair, and stroaking your head and saying,
| "Anthony my boy, you'll never be your fathers
son il you desert your friend in dstress."-It's
my will I'd be talking of avick I'm alraid the
boys'll be quarreling among one another about
the money when Pm gone, and want will
thatl hinder them, and who would ! get TO
draw it but yourself--the first lawyer in the
| kingdoms, and more betoken, my old friends
son?'
'Really, Mr.. Geoghagan, must try to be ex-
cused; my interference with your affairs al
ready"
"An, now, avick machree, why would you | Q
talking about thar, and cutting short o dying
mans breath; letme tell you all first, and then
sure, if you're for leaving me can't help you
4 I'm going, counselor, dear-gong quck--but
I'd like to do Justice first; so Just put in lega-
/ cy Of $500 now to my dear and valuable friend
meaning yourself avick and make it SO that it
can't be broke, now"
"Kedagh--rny dear Kedagh--this is so good,
so gonerous--really, must ffget and forgive
now, though to tell the truth, Kedagh, .cas
angry"
"Ah, Anthony, my darling, that is just
like your ather--rest his soul--the generos-

Counsel, dear, ] always intended it,
"My dear friend, this is, indeed very melan-
choly duty, and trust me, that all my talents
can do shall be done for you, to secure yourlit-
tie property"
HAh! Anthony, my darling give me your hand
whore are you, avick ?--I was sure it was in
your fathers son to be generous--so now sit
down counselor, DEAR and let us to business,
an don't forget the five hundred.n o#i,
The will was drawn and approved, not for
g,tting the five hundred; and Kedagh, after ut
tering profession of thanks for what Malone
assured was will that all the lawyers in Ire
land couldn't break, requested itshould be left
with him to get copied, after which, when com
pletedi it should be left with himself Malone,
Of course acceded, and a day was appointed
when he should return and receive the sacred
trust from the hands Of the dying man. The
day came, and with it the punctual counselor,
who was nolitte surprised 70 find Kedagh out
