During the year 1822, and for a considerable period subsequently, the vast County of Cork reeled to its centre with the convulsions of an agrarian emute called ‘ Wliiieboy- ism.’ The origin of this momeucla- this is ascribed to the insurgents having, at first, worn their shirts outside their clotlics, for the purpme of ttVUltllllg ndeiitification and de- tection.

I was one of a party of six, dur- ing these foai'lul scenes, at the hospi- table table Of Mr. Hugh Nortcn, a Doneraile gentleman, who resided within two miles of the town of that name. Mr. Norton was a county magistrateâ€"an efficient but humane one. He sought at all times to draw thei'line of demarcation between the agent and tho trol in the outrages he was required to investigate. He was aware of the many ignorant peasants who were entrapped into this evil combination, and held there ' by the thraldom of fear; and he laboured zealously so to protect “fit the Weakest and meanest, that stone might say he had 'joined the conspiracy save of his own free will.

But, on the ambit-hand, the dislike of the rebel- lious rose almost to fiendish maligui- ty.

The dinner was plain and good, and the wines excellent ; but good things themselves must come to a close, and the bringing in of coffee afforded a welcome conclusion.â€" Young Harry Meslop, one of the military men, proposed an adjourn- ment to the porch for the enjoyment of cigars, and huinmed some frag- mentary verses to the moon, which he declared was looking graciously from heaven upon us.

The hand itself must have received ex tensch, ifiiot fatal, injury; and from our knowledge that it was the left hand, we had important help towards the detection of the criminal.

There Was no reason in the range of possibility for his doing so. No; it could not have been be. But the fingers were in his grasp, and the red clumps of hair on them asserted it was none else. That very day‘ Hickey had given in to his master a pay sheet of the labourers, in which were some items disputed by them. In extilaining the accounts and justifying his entries. he had held the sheet for nearly half an hour in his left hand; and his master’s eye in traversing the columns, casualy rested on this list of an Esau, attracted by his hirsute furnishing. And the wisdom of God, in so directing him, seemed now ap- parent fora fragment of that same hand which had been raised to shed his blood. “ W'e must away to my steward’s house,” at length said Mr. V. there.

There was guilt in every line, and shame; and sorrow; and there was sorrow also in his master's voice, as he indignantly looked upon the muti- lated hand, saying- ‘.You* have lost some of your fingersâ€"see I have found them for you.’ at: a at: a ii I was present at Hickey’s execu- tion, which followed six weeks after. There was no doubt about his guilt, nor did he himself question the jus- tice’ of his sentence. His master supplieated that his life should be spared; but under the circumstances of the country, it was impossible that his prayer could be granted, although he preffered it in person at Dublin Castle. The unhappy cul- pi'it was hanged in a field on the op- alt 'posite side of the road from that where he committed. his crime, as it was considered that cases of peculiar atrocity should be avenged in their own immediate " neighbourhood. There a scaffold was erected, and so apprehensive were the authorities of an attempt to rescue the prisoner that two full regiments were drawn up around the gallows. He died firmly, and with penitence, assert- inghis happiness in the ill success of his attempted deed of blood.’ With his dying breath he warned the bystanders against the secret system, which had brought himself to that disgraceful end. He loved his master, he said, and would have I ton w died for him, but having, through cowardice, permitted himself to be initiated into the agrarian league, he, had taken their oath of fellowship and obedience. VViien it had been decided that Mr. Norton should be assassinated, the lot to shoot him had, either justly or unjustly, fallen to him, and accordingly he had made the attempt. But he declared that the only drop of sweetness in his cup was the reflection on th failure of his enterprise. He was innocent in act, though not in intention, and so far was reconciled to his doom.

I guess they didn’t see me.’ ' ‘ ‘I will go and see myself.’ Saying this, Clinton’s mother put on her bonnet, and walked out into the garden. There the chil- dren stood, in a shady corner, each with a cigar in his mouth. and Clinton with a bundle of matches in his hand. The two boys who were with him run when they saw her; but his mother called Clinton in a loud voice to stop, so he stood still. He knew he had been doing wrong, and his first impulse was to get rid of the cigar. ' 4 ’ ‘ What do with it? It is very strange, but it is true, that people who are caught do- ing wrong, never act as they thought they would, if found out.-â€" It is as true of grown-up people as of children. It is very. easy for persons to make up their minds what they will do if caught in a crime; but strange to say, they seldom do the thing they planned,- and most often do the thing that proves them guilty. Clinton might have thrown away his cigar, I suppose, before his ‘mothcr reached him; but instead of that, he thrust it under his apron, and pushed it under his belt. He did not do this because he thought it the best plan, or because he thought at all; it was what was called an impulse. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘Clinton.’ said his mother, ‘have you a cigar?’ ' v ‘ No,’ said the little ‘boy. ‘One sin always leads to “another? ‘Clinton,’ said his mother so- lemnly, ‘is this the truth 'I’ ‘No, ma’am.

If he does nothing for his cold for thirty-eight hours after the cough commences, there is nothing that he can swallow that will,by any ossibility, do him any good; for the cold, with such a start, will run its course of about a fortnight, in spite ofall that can be done, and what is swallowed in the meantime in the way of physio, is a hindrance, and not a good. ‘ Feed a cold and starve a fever,’ is a mischevious fal- lacy.
