It was in the time of the ruction,* -whin the long Summer days, like many a fine fellow’s precious life, was cut sliorfi by raiBon of the mar- t i a l l a w — ^that w o u l d n 't l e t a d a ^ n t T^oy' be out in the evenin’, good or bad; for w h i n t h e d a y ’a w o r k w a s o v e r , d i v i l a one of us dare go to meet a frind over a glass, or a girl at a dance, but must go borne and shut ourselves up, and sever budge, nor rise latch, nor dhraw boult until the morning kem agin. -Well, one night, ’twas after night-fali, and we ifror sittin’ round the fire, and the praties ■were boilin’, and the noggins of bntter- lailk WAS fltfludin'ready for otir flUppeT, wbin a knock kem to the door. “ Whist,” says Hay father, “ heTe’S thesojers,” says he, \bad luck to thim, the villains. I ’m afeard they seen a glim mer of fire through the craok in the d o o r , \ s a y s h e . “ No,” says my mother, “.for I ’m afther hanging an ould sack and me sew petticoat sgis it awhile ago.” ‘•\Well whist, anyhow,” says my father,“ for there’s a ^ o c k agin.” And we all held our tongues till another thump kem to the door. — t reok it in,” Bays he, “exceptin'to the Bojere, a n d s p a k e t b i m fa i r , i f i t ' s thim .** ' So, with that I went to the ^ r , aBd' riie r e w a a a n o t h e r k n o c k . “ Who’s there ? ” says I. **Tt’s me,** eays he. “ \Who are you ? ” says [. “ A friud,” says he. “ Boitherashln,” says I , “ who are yon at all ? ” “ Arrahl don’t you know m e?” nays he. “ Divil a taste,” says L _ “ Sure.X’m Paddy the piper,” says he. “ Oh, thunder and turf,” says I, “ is it yon, Paddy, that’s in it? ” Sorra one else,**' says he. 4nd what brought yon at^ this hour ? ” says I. , By gar,” says he, “ I didn’t like gpin’ the roun* by the road,” says he, “ and so I kem the short out, and that’s what delayed me,” says he. “ Oh, bloodyirars 3 ” eays I —“Paddy, I wouldn’t be in your shoes for the k i n g ’s ra n s o m , ” soys^X, “ f o r yoxt k n o w yourself, it’s a iiangia’ matther to he ootched out. these times,** sa^s I.

Well, we all wint to bed, and Paddy himself in the cow-house, and now I must tell you how it was with Padd;^ You see, after sleeping for some time, Paddy wakened up, thinkin’ it was mornin'', but it wasn’t mornin’ at all, hat only the light o’ the moon that de- saved himj but at all events, he wanted td he atirridg airly, bekase he was goin’ off to the town hard by, it bein’ fate- day,, to picknp a few ha’pence with his p ip^—for the divil a faetther pipm waa in ail the country round than Paddy; and evm^one gave it up to him that he was illigant on the pipes, and played “ Jinny Bang’d the Weaver” beyan telhn’, and the “ Hare in the Corn,” that you’d think the yeiy dogp-was in ttf a n d t h e horrom a x L x idrn* l i k e m a d . ' Well, as I was sayin’, he set off to go to the fair, and he wint meandherin' alobg through the fields, but he didn’t go' uDtil cHmbiu* np through a hedge, when he Was cornin’ out at t’other Bide, his head kem plump again something that made the fire Bash ont iv his eyes. So with that ho looks np—and what do yon think it was. Lord be meroifnl unto nz, but a corpse * 3tianging out of a braHoh of a Qiree. t h e t o p o f t h e m o r n m * t o you^ sir,'\ nays Paddy, “ and is that the -way Tvit& h, yon nnnath’ral baste,” says I, y«a’ve ate poor Faddy, yon thavin* cannfll)Ie; you're worse than a nayger,” sajr® X had Inch to yon, how dainty jm are, that nothin’ id serve yon for yoaz snpper bnt tbe best piper in Ireland.

Go aff directly,” says he, “ Shamns, the minite you’ve ate your breakfast, and dhrive her to the fate.” “ Troth, I don’t like to dhrive her,” ^^^Arrah, don’t be makin’ such a gum- m a g h a v y o n r e e l f , \ s a y s m y fa t h e r . “ Faith, I don’t,” says I.

But, howsomever, I ont a brave long wattle, that I might dhrive the manather Iv ^ thief, as she was, without bein’ near her at all, at all. ■Well,*away we wint along the road, and A mighty throng it was wid the boys and the gals, and, in short, all sorts, rich and poor, high and low, crowdin’ to the fair. “
