The carse of kishosuc.

platter chap was in the seven parishes moi
himself; and for drinkin' and courtin
(and BY the same token he was a darlin
among the girls, he was so bowldl. OF
cudsehn' or runnin' or wrastlin', or the
ike % that, none could come near him
and at patthern, or fair, or the dance, OF
the wake, Kishogue was the flower of the
flock.
Well, to be sure, the eintlemen iy the
founthry did not beloye so we'll as his
own sort-that is, the elderly gintlc-
men, for as to the young squires, be gor-
ry, they loved him like one of themselves
aud better, almost, for they knew well
that Kishoguc was the boy to put them
up to all sorts and sizes of divilment and
divarshun, and be gorry, that was all
they wanted-but you see the ovid
study tsteady) gintlemen-thc respon-
sIbie people like, didn't give in to his
ways ut all and, in troth, they used to
be thinkin' that if Kishogue was out of
the country, body and bones, that the
country would not be the worse iv it In
the Taste, and that the deer, and hares,
and the pattleridges wouldn't be scarcer
in the laste, and that the trout and SAL
mon would lead an easier life !; but they
couldn't get no how'll of him, good or
bad, he for was as cute as fox. and there
was no such thing as getting him at an
ambush, ut all, for he was like weasel,
a'most-asleep with his eyes open.
Well, that's the way it was for many
long day, until, as bad look i'd have it, be
made mistake one night, as the story
goes, and, by dad, how he could make
he kae
yet, barIin' that the night was dark, or
that Kishogue had dhrop of drink in
him; but it was made, and this was the
mistake, you see, that he consalved he
had seen his own mare trespassin on
the mans field, by the roadside, and SO,
with that, he cotched the mare-that is,
the mare to all appearances but it was
not his own mare, but the squire's horse,
which he had tuck for his own mare, all
in mistake, and he thought that she
had sthrayed away, and not likin' to see
his baste trespassin' on another mans
field, what does he do but he dhrives
home the horse in a mistake, you see, and
how he could do the like is hard to say,
except'n that the night was dark, as l
said before, or that he had dhrop too
much in but howsumever, the mistake
was made, and sore mistake it was for
poor Kishogue, fl r he never persaved it
at all until three days aither, when the
polisman KEN to him and towld him he
should 60 along with him.
"For what 2" says Kishogue.
"Oh, you're mighty Innocent" says
the polisman.
"Thrue for you, sir" says Kishogue,
nl1t (ntr aI IL
are you goin' to take me, may 1 make
bOwld to ak, sir ?" says he
'To jail" says the peeler-
"For what ?'' says Kishogue.
"For stcalin' the squirc's horse" says
the peeler-
Kishogue
sTroth, then, 'twon't be the last
you'll hear of it, says the other.
"Why, tare-an GUNS, sure its no house
breakin' for man to dhrive home his
own mare," says Kishogue.
aNo," says the peeler, "but its bur-
giarious to circumyint another mans
horse, says he.
But s'posin' twas mistake ?' says
Kishogue.
"By CORY, it'll be dear mistake to
you, says the polisman.
ttThat's a-poor case," says Kisbogue.
But there was no use In talkin' he
might as well have been whistlin' jigs to
q millstones as sthririn' to inveigle the
polisman, and the end of it was that he
was obliged to march off to Jail, and there
he Law In iavandher, like Paddy Wards
pig, until the sizes kem on, aud Kis>
hogue, you see, bein' of high spirit, did
not like the idea of bein' under COM
pfiment to the king for his lodgin'. Be-
Ades, to chap like him, that was used
30 goin' around the world for sport, the
thoughts of confinement was altogether
contagious, though. indeed, his friends
endeavored for to make it as agreeable as
they could to him, for he was nightly
beloved in the country, and they wor
goin' to see him, mornin', noon and
night troth they led the turnkey busy
lffey letti~' in and out, for they wor COM
n and goin' more like Mulligan's
blanket.
Well at length the sizes kem on, and
down kem the sheriffs, and the judges,
asd the jury, and the witnesses, all book
sworn to tell nothin' but the born truth,
and with that KIshogue was the first that
was put on trial for not knowin' the diff
fer between his own mare and another
mans horse; for they wished to make
m example to the country, and he was
bid how'd up his hand mt the Dor (and
Gne big fist he made of his own by the
some tokcn), and he held it-no ways
aaunted at all, but as bowld as a ram.
Well, then, chap in black coat and
-. = n -
he reads and reads that you'd think
he'd never have done readin', and it was
III about Kishogue, as We heard after,
aus could not make out at the time, and
no wonder; and, in trotb, Kishogue,
never done half what that dirty little at
torney was readin' about him-barriu' he
knew lies about him; and Kishogue
himself, poor fellow, got frekened at last,
when he heered him goin' on at that rate
about him, but afther q blt, he took
heart and said
by this and that, I never done the
half Q, that, anyhow
