Concerning the celebrated Father
Darcy, probably the greatest wit of

he once visited the palatiai mansion
of Il perfect specimen of the nourraux
riches who lived in the ncighborhoUt of
Dublin ut the Invitation of its pompous
owner. He was shown all over the
house, his host taking great pains. as
is habitual in such eases. TO keen the
witty and obscrvant priest well in
formed as to the cost of all the bcauti
ful things he was shown. Finally, after
making the complete tour of tn"
chateau. the library was reached, it's
tremendous shelves grooming under the
weight of thousands upon thousand,
of volumes, Respondent in the most
magnificent bindings. Here they seat
ed themselves, and the host said. with
a sigh of snobbish cNultation:
well, father, | have brought you
here last because this is my favorit .
room. The other roOms maybe give
pleasure to my wife and my daughters.
but this is my placc-right here among
these books, who are my friends. .Nui
these here on the desk pointing to q
score of ultra-Iookiug volumcsD. are
what I may call my intimate friends"
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them, when Il broad grin spread
over his go%od-uaturCd face. rs he said.
"Wcll, it's glad | am tO see that YOU
never cut your intimate friends"
