IRELAND FOR EVER.
An American was visiting Ireland for tho first time, and, staying at an hotel in Dublin, sought to startlo some of his acquaintances as to the height of tho buildings in New York. Several very "tall" stories had been received ia silence. 0:io brawny Irishman stood it as long as ho could, and then queried : ■ "There aro certainly big places your way, but ye haven't seen our newest hoicl, have yeP" M Tho-American superciliously grinned, but politely said that ho had not. "I thought not," snid tho Irishman. "D'you know, man, it's so tall that wo had' to put tho two top storeys on • hlnj-ca!" _ This remark was backed by several acquiescent erics from different parts cf tho room. Tho American sat up. "What for?" ho asked. *~ A "So we cauld let 'em down till tho ._» moon went by!" said Pat.
