the Ill manners to sit down after the

But down to the table my brave Man

this he was gruff and grumpy enough.

But Manas kept a lively chat going.
and told good stories that passed away
the night, and when bedtime came and
they offered Manas bed in the room.
Manas said no, that there was no place
he could sleep only one, and that was
along the fireside
The old man and the old woman both
objected to this, and said they couldn't
think of allowing a stranger to sleep
there. but all they could say or do
wasn't any use. and Manas said he
couldn't nor wouldn't sleep in any other
place, and insisted on lying down there
and lie down there he did in spite of
them all, and they all went off to their
beds.
But though Manas lay down he was
very sure not to let himself GO to sleep
and when he was near about two hours
lying he hears the room door open easy
and the old woman puts her head out
and listens, and Manas he snored as if
he hadn't slept for ten days and ten
nights before.
When the old woman heard this She
came on up the floor and looked at him

asleep. Then she FASTENED to put a pot

There was man from the mountain,
named Donal, once married the daugh-
ter of stingy old couple who lived on
the lowlands.
He used to stay and work on his own
wee patch of land all the week round.
till it came to Saturday even, and on
Saturday evening he went to his wife's
fathers to spend Sunday with them.
Coming and going. ne always passed
the mill of Manas, the miller, and Man
as who used to be watching him pass
ms, always noticed and thought it
strange that while he jumped the mill
race going to his wife's fathers on
saturday evening, he had always to
wade through it coming back. For a
little time he noticed this and wondered,
and at last he stopped Donal one Mon
day morning and he asked him to tell
MN the meaning of it.
Well, III tell you" says Donal, says
he It's this. My old father-in-Iaw
is such very small eater that he says
grace and blesses himself when rye
only got a few pieces out of my meals,
so I'm always weak coming back on
Monday morning.
Manas, he thought over this to him
self for awhile, and then says he:
Would you mind letting me go with
you next Saturday evening? If you do,
L promise you that you'll leap the mill
race coming back
No, but Ill be glad to have YOU"
says DOnal
Very well and good. When Saturday
evening came Manas Joined DonaI and
off they both trudged to Donals father
in-laW
The old man was not too well pleased |
at seeing Donal bringing a fresh hand |
but Manas. he didn't pretend to see
this. but made himself as welcome as |
the flowers of MAY, and when supper !

as gave Donal the nudge and both of |
them began to tie their shoes as if they

POPE LEO ON THE CATHOLIC
PRESS.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
a perpetual mission. Let all who truly
and from their souls desire that re-
ligion and society defended by human
intellect and literature should flourish,
strive by their liberality TO guard and
protect the Catholic press, and let
every one in proportion to his income
support them with his money and in
luence, for to those who devote them
selves to the Catholic press we ought
by all means to bring helps of this
kind, without which their industry will
either have no results or uncertain and
miserable ones. POPE LEO XIII.
