A poor Irish woman went to a venerable priest in Boston the other day, says the Pilot, and asked him to forward to Ireland her help for the famine sufferers. " How much can you- spare ?" asked the priest, "I have lOOdols. saved," she B&id " and I can spare that," The priest; reasoned with her, saying that her gift was too great for her means; but she was firm to her purpose. It would do good to know that she had helped. She could rest happier thinking of the poor families she had saved from hunger and death. The priest received her money with moistened eyes. "Now, what is your name?" he asked, " that I may have it published." "My name?" said the brave soul, counting over her money; " don't mind that, sir. Just send them the help and God will know my name." "Deer at any price!" yellsd the hungry traveller, who ordered vension for dinner.
