The company Increased till I counted more than sixty; and busy, merry work they made of it: running with heavy loads upon their heads, dripping with wet, exultingly throwing them down, and boundtng away in glee. Truly, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." "And are you not cold?" "Oh, no, ma'am, the salt say keeps us warm." "And how many days must you work in this way, before you get a supply?" "Aw, sometimes not fawrty, but scores of days." "And all you have for your labor is the potato?" "That's all, ma'am, that's all; and it's many of us that can't get the sup of milk with 'em, no, nor the salt; but we can't help it, we must be content with what the good God sends us." She hitched her basket over her shoulder and, in company with one older than herself, skipped upon the sand made wet with rain, and, turning suddenly about, gave me a pretty specimen of Kerry dancing, as practiced by the peasantry. "The sand Is too wet, ma'am, to dance right well on," and again shouldering her basket,; with a "God bless ye on yer Journey," leaped away. I looked after tliem among the rocks, more with admiration for the moment than with pity; for what hearts, amid splendor and ease, lighter than these? This woman, who danced before me, was more than fifty, and I do not believe that the daughter of Herodias herself was more graceful In her movements, more beautiful In complexion!, or symmetry, than was this dark-haired matron of the mountains of Kerry.--From "The Bible in Ira< land" by Asenath Nicholson. --Rialto'af* Real Meaning The word "Rlalto" Is a corruption of the two words "Ribo Alto," wrhUSh literally mean "deep river."

When In later life, Payne became an actor and author, memories of his life on the farm Inspired the well-known words of the famous song, first sung in his long-forgotten opera, "The Maid of Milan." The weatherbeaten old house nestles under huge shade trees, and presents a pretty picture, but its chief value Is sentimental. The community in which it stands was founded by English settlers, who called their village Maidstone, after the English town from which they came. Drove Hard Bargain A man tells this story of "his college days: He was accosted on the street one day by a stranger who offered to sell at a bargain a ring which he said he bad found In the washroom of a hotel. The ring had a large stone set The stranger asked $5 for the ring, but after mnch bickering took 25 cents. The student put on his new mark of opulence and went down to the college with the expectation of making an impression, but on arriving, he found others had made similar bargains, paying from 10 cents to $4. used as the synonym for the business center of the city. - Early Navigators John Cabot and his son.
