She was charged with' disorderly conduct. •< i think I have seen you before, my good woman,” said the magistrate. “That’s thrue, sor ; I like to come before vour honour now and again to give me manners a polish. If I didn t come I should miss yur honour’s face, sor. was the answer. " You were fighting. 1 believe ? Ah, sure and faith, yur honour, so I was. I had just heard some bad news from Oireland, and was a b;t excited like.” “ What is your age ? t "I be just twenty-seven, yur honour. The magistrate referred to a book. “1 find, my good woman." he said. “ that vou were before me two years ago, and you said you were twenty-seven then : how do you account f r that ?’* “ Ah, sure, yur honour. I b’aint one a’ them giddy girrls what says one thing to-day and another to-morrow," was th* ready response. Where all are seinsn, vne sage is no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous. >n matters or prudence last thoughts are the best; in matters o£ morality nrsl thoughts.
