She never fails in doing the duty to which she has .been appointed, though two men walking to gether, both Irishmen, fell to talking of her Ma jestic Ladyship, the Moon, and one said, pointing at her over their heads: "Isn't she wonderful?" "Yes," said the other, "but what a waste it is to night! Why doesn't she shine the other nights when it is so dark?" It is hard to satisfy some people! People who cry for the moon, if they had her, would try to auction her off for a potato patch or something else. The moon always goes higher, and so does a man or a Store like this, when it is clearly shown that the man or the Store is faithful where he is.
