AN IRISHMAN'S POSTSCRIPT.
Young Jones wrote .to t3ie proprietor of a country farmhouse for boarding terms for Whitsuntide. This is the (reply he received: — "Dear Sir, —My terms are a guinea a week each, where two occupy a room; twenty-five shillings when occupied by one. House is very near the river and a large brook rung through the place. Table of the best, with milk and oream in abundance. Plenty of shade about grounds. Horses and a carriage at the disposal of guests." But it was the postscript that went to the heart of the matter (and of Jones). It read:— "I could not accommodate you this year, as my house was burned down to the ground last montih."
