There's Father Felix, an' though we all know he's far from bein' so blessed a man as him, yet he has friendship an' neighborliness in him, an' never refuses a glass in rason." "But do you know what I was tould about Father Philip, Bartley?" "I'll tell you that afther I hear it, Mary, my woman; you won't expect me to tell what I don't know? ha, ha, ha!"

He did n't say much, and arter a time he came back to where his mustang was waitin', and, leanin' agin the beast, looked up in my face, and axed me which party I thought you was in. I said the thray, of course, and that was the rason why they had gone off by themselves." "You were right, then, of course."

"But will you tache this poor young boy, sir?" "Let me know who's to guarantee his payments." "I have money myself, sir, to pay you for two years," replied Jemmy. 'They told me, sir, that you were a great scholar, an' I refused to stop in other schools by rason of the name you have for Latin and Greek." "Verbum sat," exclaimed the barefaced knave. "Come here.

Mighty apt! for which rason I would wish to trouble you for your unprecedently good advice on another pint, if it, would not be too great a liberty. Mr. Carv. No liberty at all, my good Gerald I am always ready to advise only to-day certainly, the fair day of Ballynavogue, there are so many calls upon me, both in a public and private capacity, so much business of vital importance! O'Bla. Jack!

"But, dear sir, how you have worked yourself up into a passion against Lady Annaly for nothing." "It's not for nothing I've good rason to dislike the woman. What business had she, because she's an old woman and you a young man, to set up preaching to you about your faults? I hate prachers, feminine gender, especially." "She is no preacher, I assure you, sir."

"I won't deceive you as he has done. There's rason in plinty. He's married already." "Is this true?" demanded Mr. Linden, in excitement. "It's true enough; more by token, to-morrow, whin he's out, his wife will come here and tell you so herself." "But who are you who seem to know so much about my family?"

"I know it all, sir, an' that you have thruth an rason on your side; but, sir, you never lost a wife that you loved; an' long may you be so, I pray the heavenly Father this day! Maybe if you did, sir, plase your honor, that, wid your heart sinkin' like a stone widin you, you'd thry whether or not something couldn't rise it. Sir, only for the dhrink I'd be dead."

'I must have his body too, so bring him bodily before us; and this shall be your warrant for so doing, said my lord, joking; for he knows the NATUR of us, Paddy, and how we love a joke in our hearts, as well as if he had lived all his life in Ireland; and by the same token will, for that rason, do what he pleases with us, and more maybe than a man twice as good, that never would smile on us.

But in regard to the money hem! why, if it could be managed widout havin' act or part wid that thing, people would do anything in rason and fairity." "You have this day been kind to me," replied the woman, "and that's what I can't say of many dear help me! husht! Every door is shut in my face! Does not every cheek get pale when I am seen?

We can't expect Protestants to think as we do, nor Protestants can't suppose that we ought to think as they'd wish; an' for that same rason, we should make allowance on both sides, an' not be like many we know, that have their minds up, expectin' they don't know, what, instead of workin' for themselves and their families as they ought to do. Pether, won't you give that up, avillish?"
