  1. What He Saw in the Glass of Whiskey

    Share Share Post
    On one occasion a man went for some message to Charleville. He went into a pub for a glass of whiskey. Just as he was putting the glass to his lips he saw the image of the devil inside in the glass. He was greatly terrified and put down the whiskey untouched never again to put a sup of liquor to his lips.

  2. The League of the Cross

    Share Share Post
    A servant boy near Charleville went into the town to take the "League of the Cross" pledge. Next night he had occasion to go to Charleville and went into a public house. With a scoff for his pledge he asked for a glass of whisky, but as he took it in his hand he saw the emblem of the League of the Cross inside it. However he drank the whisky, but was dead the following day.
