  1. Don't tell "the face of clay" - (a living being).
    If you want to get anything done - go to a busy man.

    I heard the old people say it was the Freemasons 'rose' the Big Wind to destroy the Irish people and do away with the Catholics. They had only to ask the devil for anything they wanted done. They had a great meeting in Sligo Town that night - and Master King (of Rockingham) travelled home from it to Rock quite safely on horseback. The devil saved him.
