QUALIFIED AT LAST.
An old Irishman named Casey made a'lot of money as a contractor, and built a fine house for his children. The sons and daughters were much ashamed of their plebeian father,' and Casey was always kept in the rear of the house when they had a party or reception. One day Caaey died, and there was ■ a great to-do about it. The children had a fine coffin, with plenty of flowers, and Casey was laid in state in the parlour. That evening an old Irishwoman who had known Casey when he was a labourer came and asked to see the face of her dead friend. They conducted her to the parlour. She walked up to the coffin, took a long look, and 6aid : "Faith, Casey, an' they've let ye into the parlour' at lasht."
