The Irish Earps stratagem.

The Castle of Mogeely, two miles from
Tallow, was principal seat of the Des-
mond family. AT this castle resided
Thomas, the great Earl of Desmond, who
had favorite steward that often took
great liberties with his Lord, and, by his
permission, tyranni2ed over the EarTs
tenants equally with his master. This
steward, unknown to the Earl, gave an in
vitation in his Lords name TO a great
number of chiefs of Munster, with their
followers, to come and spend a month at
this castle. The invitation was accepted,
and crowds of gentlemen flocked In, To the
great surprise of Desmond, who began to
be alarmed lest sufficient provisions should
not be found for such number of guests.
They had not stayed many days when pro-
visions in reality began to fail; and at last
the Earl's domestics informed him that
they could not furnish out dinner for the
next day. The Earl knew not what to do,
for his pride could not brook to let his
guests know anything of the matter; be-
side, his favorite steward, who used to
help him in such difficulties, was absent.
At length he thought of a stratagem to
save his credit and inviting all his COM
pany to hunt next morning, ordered his
servants to set fire to the castle as soon as
they were gone, and pretend it was done
by accident, The Earl and his company
hunted all the forenoon, and from the ris-
ing grounds he every moment expected
with a heavy heart to see Mogeeley in
flames. At length, about dinner time, to
his great surprise, his favorite steward ar
rived, mounted upon fresh horse. The
Earl threatened him severely for being so
long absent at such juncture. The
steward told him lie had arrived just in
time enough at the castle to prevent his
orders from being executed; and further,
that he had brought large supply of corn
and cattle sufficient to subsist him and his
company for some months. This news
not a little rejolced the Earl, who re-
turned with his guests to the Castle,
where they found sufficient of every
thing they wanted.
