Irish Wit. —One day, as a witty son of the Emerald Isle was standing on the steps .of a tavern, a finely-dressed vain-looking man alighted from a cab. His nose was such an uncommon size that Pat stared at him with astonishment. “ What are you stark g at, stupid?” asked, the man of the big nose, in a pompous tone. “Why, byjabers,” suit! Pat, “ saing a nose a coomin’, I was lookin’ to see whether there was a man behind it or not. ”
