A country lass was driving a donkey to a fair in one fine summer morning. The donkey was a laggard, and was more intent on cropping the roadside herbage than on " going to the fair;" but the girl did not put herself about. Pleasarit thoughts of her sweetheart were passing through her mind;, and she sang gaily to herself. An Irish labourer overtook her, and, as he passed, he said, " My darling, you're as lively this morning as if you had been newly kissed." The happy girl at once answered, "If ye think,, Pat, that a kiss maks one lively, I wish ye wad kiss my cuddy, for he's unco stiff this morning!'' , On the Cohteabt.—Hiding a mule.
