controversy between the friends OK
the two former, growing out os

nothing moro surely brings uis:atcs

Irish ssSmartness.''

The respect which the Irish have for
their priests does not prevent them from
enjoying joke at their expense. l re-
member hearing Of an instance Of poor
girl going to priest to ask him to unite
her to the hoy Of her choice. The holy
man demanded two sovereigns for the &C.
COMMUNICATION. The girl pleaded hard that
she had not SO much money, but he was in.
exorable-two sovereigns he must have.
She was leaving the house In the great.
est dependency, when her eye lighted on
the priests cloak hanging on a peg In the
hall. \ bright thuoght occurred to her quick
Irish mind; she took it down and vanish
ed. Half an hour later she returned with
the money, accompanied by her beloved
Pat. The priest was now all smiles, per-
formed the service with great good will,
and bestowed on the happy couple hearty
blessing, and, as they left the church.
Kathleen dropped courtesy, thanked him
for his Kindness, and presented him with
the pawn-ticket that he might recover his
cloak.
