' • BY A. MEND Or THE rAmet.i.
The ould woman was dead set agin
'Tim O'Brian having her darter Peggy.
;And barring I waent a friend of
'!O'Brian, small blaine till her. He'd
-not the other coat' till his back, that he
l!had'nts And him and his father was
like two pees about luck. Divil oint
could either keep in his pocket, for
linding the loan of it till the other, and
' they was too much the jintlemen to ask
for it back, either of 'em.
Not that I'd mention it for the wnr-
. reld; being a. friend av the family, but
t,that's the gospel truth, ef I was to be
- !put on oath about it.
=Well, but he was a good. looking gos-
l- soon, niverwidstendiog, and a pair of
I; eyes in his hea.1 that shone like jewels,
and cheeks like roses, and a mouth jist
; made for kissing, and didn't he do it
•
though?
Vitt a girl in the parish but knew the
taste of his lips, more betoken he took
the squireen's Wife for Annie Key, and
made her pay toll for crossing the bridge
, Ballyboborryboybly, and, but for the
• election tiraes coming on, the squire
, would have tarred and feathered
him.
But with all his kissing and flirting
: there wasn't a girl he loved as he
did Peggy McNeel. And a jewel
- av a girl she wart, and well she loved
Tim, and aisy would it have been for
. him to get her, only for the ould wo-
' man, as I told ye before.
, •
!, "And. where —would he take her to
live, barring 'twas the poor house ?" she
,‘ says. ,"A decent girl like Peggy, used
'• to havitg comforts about her—two pigs,
, and no ount taken av the buttermilk
. she took till her praythes, and ivery
saysonable luxury in life. There' o Jim
- Brady wants her. And so you're mar-
ried, it's all the same a hundred years
hence, who it. was to."
! That's the way ould folks look at
them things ye mind, and I'm not say-'
• ing they're wrong, but I was a -Lind av
the O'Brian's, and I did my best to re-
,
r concile the.ould. woman, but St. Pat-
. rick himself couldn't have done -it. All
• she'd do was to smoke' and listen, and
listen and smoke; and whin I'd say my
say, no l her head like a Chinaman der-
'
! ing and sey agin,
"Tim O'Brian isn't the man for Peggy
111cNee1. I've never brought her up to
live without aiting, aud that's what his
wile'll have to do."
a An onraysona,ble ould crayther she
was, that same Widdy McNeel.
widstanding that, Tim and Peggy got a
• ; • talk wid. aich ither now and agin, and
was sweethearts all the, same, and I, as
,
a friend ar the family, did:the best for
, them.
: t But, you see, things could'nt-gd on so
3 forever. Tim was going wild to ge, to
Amerikey, and go widont Peggy he
wouldn't; and Peg oy you see, could'nt

s,
. go wid him, barring she was married,
and there was nothing for it but to get
married unknownst.
"Yer a frind av the family," says Tim
to me, sez he, "and we can rely chafly
upon ye."
"Dipincl upon me, ould boy," says I.
And then we laid our heads together,
' and the first Mee we got was that Peggy
should go to the fair, and Tim meet her
there, and the three of us go to the
; palate and get married. After that the

g• ive in, for there'd be no help for it.
a But Widdy McNeal wee sharperthan
.: we thought. Not a step would site let
. Peggy put fut to, barring she was wid
her. To the fair she went to sell a pig
. and buy flax. And more betoken that
she would'ut lose her in the crowd, she
jist tacked Peggy's gown to her own wid
a, stitch or two, and there was no get-
: ting at her. '
And there was Tim and. me following
on at a safe distance, and Peggy, wid
her gown tacked to her mother's, trot-
ting on behind, tears rolling down her
.cheeks, and heart broke wid disappoint-
•' meat, and strangers grinning at the two
. as if they were shows. 'And more be-
token, Father Carty, taking no heed
and striving to get betwixt them, and
getting a, fall that near broke the head
• him, and brought the two winemin
down in a heap jist as the squire's mad
bull, that he'd sent to be sold—bad luck
to the baste—escaped from the place
he was in, and sent the crowd that
way.
, Ochl the widdy was kilt inthirely,
and so WOB Peggy, but niverwidstand-
,. ing, when. they got to their feet,the first
e words the widdy said was:
“Praise to glory, the tasks didlit
break."
• And home she marched, wid Peggy
- behind her, like a blind man and his
dog.
"Yer a frind av the family, and that's
.' your only excuser' says the could. woman
- to me next day: "I kn.owed the trick
I , ye'd ha,ve put on me on fair day. I
knowed it well, and if I had'nt tacked
- the gowns togither wid wax ends from
Pat the cobbler's, heaven alone knows
the end of it."
Oh, she was a sharp ould woman,
that same Widdy MoNeel.
"Carry her off, my boy ;" says old.
O'Brian.
But Peggy wouId'iat be carried off.
And BO, for doing it, we'd. bave had to
take the old woman too—for by day she
: was like Peggy's shadow, and ivory
, night, -finding how successful the stitch-
: ing had been the day of the fair, she
sewed the girl tight to her flaming pet-
ticoat—saving your prisence.
The brains in me were addled as
year-ould eggs, striving to manage the
match between the poor craythers that
was jistalying in love for aiohe other:
As for Father Mahone, lwasn't him
would have doue aught to thwart the
Widdy MeNeel. Wasn't it herself pro-
vided him wid chickens, to say nothing
ay the better and eggs? and didn't
she knit hina stockings and, make him
„ shirts ?
But I had a brother av rne own, that
came so byway of beingmy father's
first wife's son by a previous marriage
—the man she married adopted him
afore they ever met, ye mind—that was
a olergyoaan himself jist. 'And blood
is thicker than wather, and he'd do a
• kind thing for me any day; and I wint
to him, and he promised to make
them fast whinever there was an oppor-
tunity.
"seit them away," says he, "and give
me ten minutes and it's done."
But gitting away was the hard av it;
and what to do I didn't know, until it
flashed upon me like lightning wan
day.
Over I goes to the widd.yrand winking
at Peggy to let her know what I was at,
I says to the ould 470 man,
"Ye know I am a, friend
O'Brians."
"I know that same," says

The Parisiau 'method of cleaning

any other knoirre. It is as follows:
The silk must be thoroughly brushed
and well wiped with a cloth, then laid
flat on a board or table, and well spong-
ed with hot coffee, thoroughly freed
from sedirnent by being strained
through muslin. The silk is sponged on
the side intended to show; it is allowed
to become partially dry, and then iron-
ed on the wron side. The coffee re-
moves every particle of grease, and re-
stores the brilli ney of silk without im-
parting to it either the shiny appear-
ance or crackly or papery stiffness oh-,
tained by beer or, indeed any other
liquid. The silk really appears thick-
ened by the process, and this good
effect iepermanent. Our readers who
