ancient Irish woman, who can never
be Fifth-avenueized, who will smoke
a pipe, who will wear a peat-bog
cap, who has no book learning, and
a brogue you could cut with a knife,
but who has the place of honor at
table and the best the house affords;
who is introduced to every guest
with fond affection, who can go sit
and smoke her dhudeen on the stone
steps “forninst the dure av she pla-
zes,”as she says, What a fine exam-
ple the play-actor sets.—New York

tle while, hut then' came along a
drummer frightfully pitted with the
small-pox, who smilingly said:
