It was the famine, miss, that came first, and stole the bit o' food that was saved. The praties were rotten in the field; and the poor pigs starved that should have helped us out wi' the rint. Och, but it was a sore time o' grief whin sorra a mouthful were left for the bit childer and the ould people who were weak before wi' ould age!

What is it to you if O'Sullivan Og takes our dues for us and a trifle over? And, sorra one of you doubt it, if Mounseer comes jawing here, it's in the peat-hole he'll find himself! Or the devil the value of a cork he gets out of me; that's flat! Eh, Phelim?" "True for you, McMurrough!" the youth who sat beside him answered, winking. "We'll soak him for you."

Lord! what a night! Listen how the wind an' storm growls an' tyrannizes and rages down in the glen there, an' about the hills. Faith there'll be many a house stripped this night. Why, what ails you? Afther all, you're but a hen-hearted divil, I doubt; sorra thing else."

At the end of those minutes, and when they were at some distance from the house, "I see," Asgill said thoughtfully. "Easy to put him under the sod! But you're thinking him worse dead than alive." "Sorra a doubt of it!" "Yet the bogs are deep," Asgill returned, his tone smacking faintly of raillery. "You might deal with him first, and his heir when the time came. Why not?" "God knows!"

Powerfullest preacher, And tinderest teacher, And kindliest creature in Old Donegal. Or was the homing instinct, the homesick longing for the old sod, ever more truly rendered than in Moira O'Neill's song of the Irish laborer in England? Over here in England I'm helpin' wi' the hay, An' I wish I was in Ireland the livelong day; Weary on the English, an' sorra take the wheat! Och!

"And few are the pennies I can bring to yer riverence when the child has no wages to bring home o' a Saturday. Sorra a hap'orth to spare will I find; it's no me two hands alone can find bread for the mouths o' all, and " "Stuff and nonsense!" interrupted the priest; "there's many another place can be had for a sthrong, likely lass like her.

Sure there's no millstone here? if you want to break millstones you must go farther up to Carnmore, where they make them. Sorra millstone's here, I know." "You know oh, how much you know! I tell you, there's a great Millstone that covers and grinds the whole kingdom, or at least the greatest parts of it that's the Millstone we want to brake, and that we will brake."

But what wid the blud gettin' into me ois, I was blinded, and the pressure kept incraysin' until me arrums was thrussed like a fowl to me sides, and sorra a bit cud I move but me jaws!" "And bloomin' well you knew how to use them," said Otherwise. "Thrue for you though ye don't mane it!" said Mulledwiney, playfully tapping Otherwise on the head with a decanter till the cut glass slowly shivered.

Tobin smiled and returned: "An Irishman always has a good deal of respect for the fighting strain, no matter if it be in a man, or a beast, or a bird. Old Nick himself must be a grand, two-handed man, and as such we must give him credit. And 'twas the same way with this felly Hume. He had real fighting blood, so he had; and sorra the man ever undertook to impose on him the second time."

"I know, darlin', that you'd do everything that's generous an' right; but settin' that affair aside, my dear Dora, what are you and I to do?" "I don't know what we're to do," she replied; "it's useless for you to ax me from my father now; for he wouldn't give me to you, sorra bit." "But you'll give me yourself, Dora, darling."
