He introduced a timprance lecturer that towld the boys the poteen was pizenin' thim, an' 'twas wather they must dhrink. Ha! Ha! Will I tell ye what owld Sheela Maguire said to the timprance man?"

That, indeed, was happiness in perfection, as pure and unadulterated as the poteen which created it.
There was plenty of bacon, and abundance of cabbages eggs, ad infinitum oaten and wheaten bread in piles turkeys, geese, pullets, as fat as aldermen cream as rich as Croesus and three gallons of poteen, one sparkle of which, as Father Philemy said in the course of the evening, would lay the hairs on St. Francis himself in his most self-negative mood, if he saw it.
