Some Stories of Pat.

Pat is delightful fellow when he is
natural. The curious things the Irish
men say, and which are called bulls, have
excited a great deal of merriment in the
world. The latest instance OF the bull
that we have encountered is the will OF a
deceased resident of Dublin, which reads
as follows: 81 give and bequeath to my
beloved wife, Bridget, the whole of my
property, without reserve; and to my
eldest son Patrick one-half Of the re-
mainder; and to Dennis, my youngest
son, the rest. If anything is left it may
go, together with the old cart without
wheels, to my sincere and affectionate
friend, Terence Mccarthy, in sweet Ire
land"
Another amusing bull was that Of a
certain Paddy Murphy, who, with num-
Der of others, was discussing what they
would do in case they were shipwrecked
far out at sea, without even plank to get
ashore on. After the others had told
what they would do, Paddy's turn came.
"You're a selfish lot," he said. eyed
all be afther savin' yourselves an not
savin' any of the others. Ord do it diff
ferent. Old shwim ashore an save
miself first, an thin old shwim out again
and save the rest of yez."-Harper'
