I Could Keep Her So. The Long Journey. POETRY. on, crackers suflices tor me ‘2" she says, stretching her hand out to the dog, who licks it, with a. faint recollec- tion of the time when he was a. puppy in her service, and feted eumptuouely from that same hand every day. Then the door is opened with a. suspicious, defiant air, and Darregh finds herself face to face with the man, who looks like a. desperado, and lives like a. recluse. “ Come in, Miss Dan-3gb. though it’s the bare floor and wells. and thim not all stand- ing, that I ask you into this day,” and as he speaks Ferroll falls back astep for her to enter, and jerks his arms up above his head with a. gesture that is pregnant with wrath and_ despair. ‘ “ Ferrell," Darragh says, laying her hand on his arm as fearlessly as she had held it out to the fierce, hungry bloodhound, “ the soldiers are not the police, and if they were they have no right to, and no reason for, searching your house. Keep your right to have it for your very own ; meet Mr. Annealey as a. friend, and he will be very patient; work and bring things back to the old way_â€".what is that?” Something glittering falls from a corner of the half-opened closet in which he has been groping for the last few secondsâ€"falls at her feet ; and as she stoops and picks it up before he can dart upon it. she recog- nizes the likeness of the widowed Lady Killeen, set round with a. circle of diamonds of price, from which circle one stone is missing, and it darts into her memory that Killeen always wore In a. mement the senseless trinket becomes an accusing agent, telling its tale with terrible accuracy to the horror-stricken girl._ " Nonsense 1” she says, good-temperedly (Mrs. O’Leary is always good-tempered in prosperity, and she is growing very pros- perous out of Ireland’s woes). “ Nonsense! your own Darmgh was ,‘mixed up’ in ‘these aflairs long before I was; she has ratted now." she continues, loudly, turning toward the sea. of upturned ghastly races, and in response to her remark there rises a sullen muttered roar. Darragh would fare ill at their hands were she in their power at this moment. “I don’t believe one ‘gullant’ heart beats among the miscreants,“ Captain Mackiver says, and Derregh tells him that many a. perfect musical instrument gives forth jarring strains when struck by ignorant and cruel hands, that many 9. beautiful poem is marred in the reading. and that many a. blessing is being wrested from Ireland now by the blind or perfidious policy of her ruinouer false friends. - Th'eir coming honie together in this familiar and unconventional way does not u “You’ve saved the soldiers the trouble, Miss Darragh," Ferroll says. With savage sadness ; “ they‘ll not be like to believe that I was passing the road that night" (he can’t repress a shudder as he says this), “and the gims were lying there on his breast asking tq be taken upâ€"â€"" " Carney 1" his wife screams, warning " ; " you were not by the road that night, some one gave the 'jule’ to you,and you were tempted to keep it to sell for breadâ€" you were_never up uh? rqad that night.” “ Not as they are by nature,” she says, quickly, “but as they are through the ill advice of those who trade on what is noblest and best in the Irish character to turn it to ill account, to slay them With shafts tipped with feathers plucked from their own gallant breastsz’] “ And then some one of them with more poetlo feeling and better brains than the rest; of the herd would have written apoem about you, and set it to one of Moore’s melo- dies,” Captain Maokiver says contemptu- ouely_,_ and_ the_1_1 he adgia fervehtlyâ€" _ “ Did I say I was ‘2” he asks savagely; and then with a. cry that is an oxeoration, he starts forward to tear the jewel from Darragh’e hand, as he hears the tramp of many feet outside, but Darragb springs aside, passes the door and the bloodhound, and holding the trinket firmly in her hand, says rapidly to Robert Annealey and Cap- tain Mackiver: " They would have seen me shot," she says, With a short. dry sob, as she rides along on Ronald’s horse, with Robert Annealey on one side of he: and Captain Mackiver on the other, on their way back to Darragh. ""I‘hank Heaven! the glariaor is no longer over you; you see them as ‘ they are’ at last.” “I have found this in the house of the man I came to try to help and to save; my cousin always wore it. It must have been taken from him other the murder while you were insensible, before Dolly and I found him. The man who shot him must have taken it, and I found it in Ferrell’s house. Poor Kathleen’s lover will be saved." It is a sad going back to the Anneeley‘s home this day for poor Darragh Thynne. She has proved it nowâ€"proved it perilously in her own personâ€"that the people among whom she has been born and bred, the peo- ple among whom her father and mother and her mother’s raee have spent their lives and time, their brains and hearts and money for generations, regard her and her safety no more than they would that of one of the beasts that perish, now that for their own sakes she strives to stem the ter- rent _of their evil-domg. As they match away with their prisoner through the unsavory yard, they are met by a. vast crowd of law-breaking, reckless, savage. hungry and whiskey maddened men and women. The former are armed with all sorts got destructive but iguoble weeponsâ€"scythes, frying-pens, pokers, bludgeons, jagged-edged pieces of broken crockery-ware. Each and all of these are good enough for the purpose of battering in the heads of the executants of the laws of orger and honesty. But there is an end to temperate forbear- ance when,with a wild rush,agang closes in round Darragh Thynne, separating her from her friends by such a sudden movement, made with such skill and unanimity, that Captain Maokiver knows that it must have been agreed upon before hand. There is an end to temperate forbearance when this happens. and further endurance would be criminal, when one of the head-centres of this _savagery cries out: ' “As a. matter of fact it is a. repulsive spectacle to see a woman mixed up in these affairs at all," he says, with ill-dis- guised dislike _t9 her. “ Till Farioll is set free, boys, we have a hostage, and as he is sawed so shall the 1ady_ba.” “Sure ifs Miss Darragh! she must be let go without a. hand on her; it isn’t Miss Dargagh ghat’s _ou_r_t_anem_y.” “ Aren’t you sorry that you can’t arrest me for sedltion, conspiracy, and rebellion ‘2” she says, riding up to Captain Mackiver, and laying her whip lightly across his arm. “ It must be annoying to you that, as a. matter of fact, I have queued a. riot that you were powerless}? put_doyvn '1" “ It‘s through Miss Darragh that I’m here now,” Ferrell yells out, and then as the easily swayed, fantastic, fickle, fierce, vain throng groan and exeorate her, Cap- tain Maokiver despairineg gives the longed for order, and his troops fire. A dozen men drop where they stand or crouch, and the rest are panic- strieken tor the few moments that are required to rush in among them and bring Darragh out from their cruel, cowardly midst. Then into the thick of the fray, well-mounted and habited, look- ing beautiful and wealthy enough to be the Queen of Connought, rides Mrs. O'Leary, and the rabble rally round her as, in clear, ringing accents, she asks them to “ cease from resistance that can be of no avail to-day, and to reserve their courage and their strength for a better organized struggle.” A'few voices are raised in feeble explana- tionAand exposjylatign. “ IF DARRAGH mamas l” CHAPTER XXIX. add to poor anxious, hartassed Dolly’s peace of mind or hilarity of spirit. While they have been out doing and daring together, she has been at home taking coun- sel as to varloue petty and narrowing ways and mean with Powles, who still remains faithful, though she has little to cook and less to eat in these days: In the excitement and misery consequent upon her lover’s arrest and imprisonment, Kathleen has ceased to purvey for them. The poor girl can do nothing but hang around the prison doors and pour forth passionate protestations and asservations as to his innocence to any one who will listen to her and may help her. And one who listens most patiently and promises to help most encouragingly to the distraught Claddagh girl at this juncture is Mrs. O'Leary. But she éxacts payment for her parti aanship. " Unquestionably I have found you out, but I object to the second part of your sen- tence. I am not your enemy; I have come here to-day, as you will understand “ It I am to help you,” she says, severely, when she has given a. promise to have a. petition “ for the poor boy who never did the murder at all, Mrs. O‘Leery,” sent up to some mysterious persons in authority; “ if I am to help you in your heart’s desire, Kathleen, you must help me in mine; you must go to Derregh Just as usual, and you must bring me Word of What goes on there, especially of what goes on between Miss Darrsgh and Ceptain Mackiver.” 7 V“Str)ryou; have.found me out,oh! mine energy.” she’saygz plgqfully._ " The saints 160k down upon me and for- give me for being a. spy upon her.” Kath- leen says, piously; and Mrs. O‘Leary says, impafilently : "I think she’s making a great tool of herself, and that 8. check would do her a, considerable amount of good,” Ronald 58.33; nevertheless, he accept! t_h‘e task. She is at home,‘ alone, 5nd disengaged, and without delay Captain Macklver is admitted to»her pgeeeqoe. " The saints are more likely to look leni- ently upon that perfidy than upon anything like lukewarmnees toward your lover. Be a sensible girl. You like going to Darragh what harm can there be in your telling me what they are doing there, it there is no harm in what they do ‘2" “ She must stop that haranguing,” he says to Captain Maoklver. " I don’t want to have her arrested, but she collected a. crowd and created a disturbance in the Claddagh yesterday; she was urging them to attack the jail and rescue that young fellow before the trial, who’s in for poor Killeen’s murder. Now, I don't want to do anything violent, for she’s a. pretty woman. and a. wise women, too, I think. You know her, don't you 7” I wish you’d call and caution her." “ It‘s a. spy I’ll be,” poor Kathleen drawle out, unwillingly. She longs to buy freedom and security for her lover, but the price she is asked to pay for making the efiortto gain theegfihings ie a bevy one._ " There is no disgrace in being a. spy when you only went to spy out something that may turn out to be for the good of those you love,” Mrs. O'Leary says, spe- ciously. “ Lord Killeen has a. great deal of power, and he will use that power to get your sweetheart released it you get me oer~ main information that he wants.“ Captain Maokiver is still ignorant of the fact of Darragh’s engagement to her cousin, Lord Killeen, having some to an end; and, as the subject is an exquisitely painful one to him, he abstains from making any remarks about it, and so hears nothing. One day, however, he has occa- sion to call at Mrs. O’Leary’s house in order to utter a. warning which he has been commissioned to give by a. friendly magis- trate, who has been applied to by some members of the Anti-Land League on the subject of putting a check on Mrs. O‘Leary. V 7“ Is it anything against Miss Darmgh ?” If ith to hag-m her I'll_n_ot ggt it.” “ Be an obstinate girl and see your lover perish, then," :s. O'Leary says, angrily. “ I only ask you to go there and find out it there‘s any love-making going on between Miss Darragh and Captain Maokiver. It’s nothing ‘ against ’ her if there is; but Lord Killeen would like to know it.” “ Is it Mr. Arthur that‘s jealous ?" “ He’s not Mr. Arthur any longer, remem - her, and he’s not jealous at all; he’s very fond of Miss Darragh in a. kind oousinly sort of way, but he’s not in love with her. And he’s not going to marry her; I think he would like to know that she was going to marry _C_aptain Maokiver and be happy." “I hope the Sootohmun will not have the opportunity of triumphing over you. she says, meditatively. “ I have it in my heart to hope that you will have found a panacea. for the loss of Datmgh before he isjin a position to proclaim his conquest over you to the world.” So Kathleen is persuaded to go up to Darragh, and to a. certain extent she possesses herself of Miss Darragh Thynne’s confidence. But Mrs. O’Lenry is very little the wiser for what transpires at the interview. So much as Kathleen tells her is strictly true, but she does not think her- self bound to tell the whole truth. It is true that she has not obeyed his injunctions with regard go keeping her name out of the papers, but she trusts to her rarely failing charm to make him for- get this fact. . u -. . m “ ’Deed then, ma’am, Miss Darwghis unhappy enough to make Mr. Arâ€"â€" his lordship’s heart ache for her, if he's fond of her In the kind, cousinly way still, and that’s about all that; I have to tell you.” “ Is it true that you rode down to Fer- roll’a and encouraged the mob the day that ruffian was taken ‘2” Lord Kllleen asks, reproaohfully, and she puts an Infinity of pathge into the tones m which she replies . “ Hush! hush! she found that wretched trmket in Ferrell's house and built up at once a theory of his being the murderer; it was such unreasoning ‘ avidity to condemn’ on her part, you can’t wonder that the popular mind revolted agamst her. Besides, then she was ranging herself visibly with Captam Maokiver. who represents the oppressors; you can’t wonder that the poo- ple’s love turned to hateâ€"T” “If Darrsgh marries that fellow I’ll never believe in a women again,” he says, striking the table with his open palm angrily. Then Mrs. O'Leary soothes him, telling him that the wisest women are “ week where they love,” and bidding him remember that “other women are ready to share and elevate his fortunes though Darregh has faileil." ‘ I‘How one does get misrepresented by those vile newspaper people, and misunder- stood even by those whom one culls friends i I went down in fear of my life to use the influence you have taught me how to gain with these people, to induce them to sub- mit to legalâ€"though unjust authority.

Why should they have relinquished the struggle for the sake of putting a smooth face on things before a. girl who is ready to relinquish everything for the sake of a. man who is here with the intention of shooting them down if they infringe on his notions of right ‘2" “ Darragh isn’t going to marry Mackivet, is she ‘2" Lord Killeen asks, uneasily, and Mrs. O’Leary throws an air of perfect con- viction into her answerâ€" “ She has the grace to keep her intention quiet, but she has not deceived Kathleen, and, to do Kathleen justice, she has not deceived me.” W‘r‘barraghl Roughly used her!

Delos Hotehklss, 0! Marion, Conn., owns an orchard in which stands probably the most remarkable apple tree in _ the world. In the first place it is nearly two hundred years old ; it is 60 feet high ; the diameter of the tree-top is 104 feet, and the circum- terenoe of the trunk, three feet from the ground, is 15:} feet. One of the peculiari- ties of this venerable tree is that it is “ an alternate bearer "â€"five limbs bearing fruit one year, and four the next ; but, strange to say. it showed its patriotism on the cen- tennial year by bearing fruit on all of its branches, the first time it ever did so. “You won’t find them good prison weagl” he says, when she has finished. “You’re n6t going to war upon hainen, are you?

A foreign paper has the fol- lowing to say on this subject: It is aston- ishing to contemplate the enormous number of people in the world to whom a news- paper must be as rare as a diamond. Recently published statistics show that while the circulation of newspapers throughout the world aggregates the great number of 10,000,000,000, only averages six and a half copies per year to each inhabitant of the globe. This is assuming that only one paper goes to each purchaser; but since it is no uncommon thing for one man to buy several, the proportion of those who never buy one is greatly increased. Europe publishes 19,537, while the wonderful section of the world classed as “ North America ” in the statistics follows with 12,400. The whole of Asia can only show 775, a contrast the more striking beside the benighted South America, which runs close upon the vast continent, with 699. Africa lags behind with only 182, the modern settlements of Australasia in its limited area owning 661. Dividing them into languages there are 16,500 printed in the English language, 7,360 in German, 3,850 in French and 1,600 in Spanish. The annual aggregate circula- tion in the United States is 3,000,000,000, as compared with 2,260,000,000 in Great Britain and Ireland, giving the United, States the position of being the most vora- ‘ oious devourers of newspaper literature in the world. ' “ Which you and your colleagues, male and female, are doing your best to destroy.

I see what it isâ€"you are gelled that; another man has been able to cast off Dnrragh’s fathers. Let me assure you that; Lord Killeen’s engagement to his cousin was broken off before he made love to me ; you ought to judge him leniently. for you are a fellow sinner, I understand." In direct opposition to the idea of mas- tery through knowledge and continuous effort, we find the belief in luck, the central idea of which is that a bias in our favor may pervade events. The notion of natural order in events, followed regardless of per- sons, substitutes for the illusion of luck the truth of a mere coincidence between what we like and what results. Such unfavorable coincidences when not read aright have wrecked the lives of some men who might otherwise have developed useful powers. A careful study of such a fortunate turn of events reveals some unpleasant but irresistible factsâ€"that a sustained fav- orable coincidence is very rare and likely to be of doubtful permanent value, because there is not a proper devel- opment of personal quality whereby no injury will result from prosperity. The fortunate person tries to swim in a sea of new conditions which he has not reached by a natural process of growth; The phrase “ always lucky” is open to two objections not easily set aside, owing to the profound complexity of events: that the person may have skill, tact, agreeableness; and that there may be error, owing to the special or restricted view of the person judging. Belief in luck is directly and practically objectionable, because it leads to submission in matters requiring action.â€" “ The Illusion of Chance,” by William A.

Mr. William Keating, who resides at No. 202 William street, went out Sunday night to enjoy a solitary ramble in Chatham street. Just at the time that the hands of the clock on City Hall tower marked the hour of 10.30 Mr. Keating was passing by Pearl street, with his head carried high in the air and his eyes fixed upon a single little star that was trying to make itself visible, when â€"bumpl something had struck Mr. Keat- ing in the most vulnerable spot in his body -â€"his stomach. For a moment Mr. Keat- ing imagined that a house had suddenly collapsed and'had fallen on him, ‘when- bump, bump, bump, went that something in rapid succession, and then Mr. Keating became aware of the fact that a man had gotten his head down like a goat in front of. him, and was exercising all his muscular power in endeavoring to poke his head through Mr. Keating’s body. Mr. Keating objected, and tried both by force and per- suasion to make the man desist, but the more Mr. Keating objected the more the man bumped and continued bumping until Officer Rhodes, of the Fourth precinct, came up and playfully tapped the bumping man upon the shoulders with his club. Then the man, with, his lowered head, turned his attention to the latest arrival and before the officer fully comprehended the awful reality of what had happened, he had received several hard bumps in what was also his most vulnerable spot. But Ofi‘lcer Rhodes is not a man to be bumped with impunity, and he had soon made it inconvenient for the man to bump any more. The man, who gave his name as James Hays, of No. 152 Leonard street, ‘ was minus two teeth, lost in the bumping ‘ exercise, when he appeared before Justice White in the tombs. He informed His ‘ Honor that he had been afflicted with a most excruciating toothache, and that the only way he could stop it was by bumping his head against some soft substance, and, not being able to reach Mr. Keating’s head, he had done the best he could. Jus- tice White fined Mr. Hays $10, and Mr. Hays wept. He was not able to pay it.â€" New York Times. * The surprising success of Mrs. Lydia E.Pink ham’s Compound for the several diseases pecu- liar to women forcibly illulitrates the importance of her beneficent discovery and the fact that aha knows how to make the most of it.â€"Dr. Haskell.

A traveller in Arabia writes : In the floor of the tent or hut, as it may chance to be, a small hole is excavated sufliciently ‘ large to contain a common champagne bottle; a fire of charcoal or of simply glow- ing embers is made within the hole, into which the woman about to be scented throws a handful of drugs. She then takes off the cloth or “ tops " which form hér dress, and crouches naked over the fumes, while she arranges her robes to fall as a mantle from her neck to the ground like a tent. She now begins to perspire freely in the hot-air bath, and the pores of the skin being thus opened and moist, the volatile oil from the smoke of the burning perfumes is immediately absorbed. By the time that ,the fire has expired the scenting process is completed, and both her person and robe are redolent with incense,with which they are so thoroughly impregnated that I have frequently smelt a party of women at full a hundred yards distance when the wind has been blowing from their direction. Anolher Pen. l Farmers are now obliged to battle against ‘ another pestâ€"wild peas. They are sup- posed to have been brought to this section by pigeons or black birds. most likely by the latter. The pens are ve‘ry prolific and the vines spread over a. field with great rapidity. They are small, of a. dull gray color and are very injurious to the growth of grain and particularly to barley. This pest has proved very destructive to crops in Prince Edward and Tyendinaga but has not visited Sidney as yet. In some in- stances farmers have cut down grain with which these peas had grown and burned it. Owing to the existence of this peat a. large demand for fanning mills has sprung up.â€" Bellem’lle Intelligencâ€"er. H. ILWARNER a: (30., Toronto.0nt. Rochester. N. Y London- Eng.
