Wife "Your takin' the world on yez, an' God knows 'tis a heavy load to carry, poor crathurs." Farmer "A heavy load, poor crathurs! God he knows it's that." Wife "Brian! Gluntho ma? did you hear me?
And if ye'll wait a bit it's mesilf that'll run and fetch some of the nate, saft sthraw, that ye can fill the tins, and 'twill do ye betther; indade, and it's none but a hathen that could endure the likes of that!" "Ah! Pathrick, is it ye? and was ye pint up in there wid the crathurs?"
Kathleen, avourneen machree! how my heart beats wid longin' to see you, asthore, and to see the weeny crathurs glory be to Him that has left them to me praise and glory to His name!" He was now within a few perches of thy door; but a sudden misgiving shot across his heart when he saw it shut, and no appearance of smoke from the chimney, nor of stir or life about the house. He advanced
"Well, now, thanks be to the Almighty, all's right. Here's something for you to ait; you must want it." "But," he replied, "did these poor crathurs get anything? bekase if they didn't, I'll taste nothin' till they do." "They did indeed," said Margaret; and all the little ones came joyfully about him, to assure him that they had been fed, and were not hungry.
One morning after breakfast he addressed his wife as follows: "Kathleen, mavourneen, I want to consult wid you about what we ought to do; things are low wid us, asthore; and except our heavenly Father puts it into the heart of them I'm goin' to mention, I don't know what well do, nor what'll become of these poor crathurs that's naked and hungry about us.
When she said this to the younger matrons of Lisconnel, they thought that the crathurs' fate was commiserable indeed, and earnestly hoped that they themselves would be spared, plase God, to witness the splendid careers that lay before their own Denises at present playing among the puddles.
Listen to them coughin', for fraid we'd forget them: and throth and they won't be forgot this bout any how Katty, avourneen, give them every one, big and little, young and ould, their skinful don't lave a wrinkle in them; and see, take one of them bottles the crathurs, they're starved sitting there all night in the cowld and give them a couple of glasses a-piece it's good, yer Reverence, to have the poor body's blessing at all times; and now, as I was saying, Here's all yer healths! and from the very veins of my heart yer welcome here."
"Troth, Nell, dacent woman," replied the other, "myself can't exactly say that. I'll be bound he's on the Esker, looking afther the sheep, poor crathurs, durin' Andy Connor's illness in the small-pock. Poor Andy's very ill, Nell, an' if God hasn't sed it, not expected; glory be to his name!" "Is Andy ill?" inquired Nell; "and how long?" "Bedad, going on ten days."
"Wait till we see the profits first, Ellish crockery's very tindher goods." "Ay! just wait, an'I'll engage I'll turn the penny. The family's risin' wid us." "Very thrue," replied Peter, giving a sly wink at the wife "no doubt of it." " Kisin' wid us I tell you to have sinse, Pether; an' it's our duty to have something for the crathurs when they grow up."
As for little Katty, "she'd never seen anybody doin' anythin' agin the child; it might happen by nature to be one of those little crowls of childer that 'ud always look hungry-like and pinin', the crathurs, if you were able to keep feedin' them wid the best as long as the sun was in the sky."
