He Had the Heavy One.

F. L. Culver, president of Frank Leslie’s publishing house, tells tile following- as an illustration of the quick wit of an Irishman who was sent to take some furniture to the storage warehouse preparatory to the family going to their summer home. Colver, who was in the library, heard sounds of unusual puffing and blowing as one of the men was staggering downstairs under a weighty piece of furniture. “What are you taking down.” he called out, “the light oak dresser?" “No, sor,” panted Pat; “sure Oi’ni takin’ down the heavy mahogany one.” —New York Times.
