Irish Counting.
An Irishman who had lately arrived in the colony was employed as handy man at one of our large suburban mansions. The lady of the house, hearing that some midnight thief had walked off with some of her prize poultry, desired Pat to count them as speedily as possible and to inform her how many there were; he accordingly left off cleaning the buggy, and proceeded to enumerate the feathered bipeds. The lady, getting impatient of waiting for him, repaired to the poultry yard, and noticing him chasing a small chicken, enquired, “Pat, whatever are you doing!” when the Irishman replied; “I’ve counted all the chickens except this one; but the little varmint won’t stand still till I count him.”
