 thorn who still cling with undying love to the beautiful land 
 
 of their birth, enduring all things rather than break asiiuder 
 
 the tie which bhids them to 'the Niobe of nations,' and to

 Amongst the families who experienced the 
 greatest re^^rses during those long -dreary years, ' \ 
 
 was one wlfts^ fall was a bfuel blow to the poor * 
 
 of the vicinity. The fhther of. the family, Bernard * 
 O'Daly, had been for many long years the strongest • 
 
 ,&rmer about Kil)any. His farm was large, 
 and well cultivated, his V cattle of the best breed . ^ 
 that could be procured, his bam and his^ haggard jk. ^ | 
 were plentifully filled year after year, and, in short, . ' | 
 
 Bernard was i^ays pointed out as a man J j 
 
 particularly well to do ip the world. In addition r^ * j| 
 to these material bl^asings, Bernard O'Daly had-a I 
 
 ^ large &milj' of sons and daughters,* the like of * I 
 
 , whom were not to be found all me oountry over— ;~. ' j 
 his wife, it is true, i^ras old, much older than her ' J| 
 
 husband, and of 4>roken health, but then she was . ^ 
 
 sitrrovinded' by every comfort, and her periodical * 
 
 fits of sickness were-of comparatively short dura- 
 
 .tion, since her daughters had grown up to 
 womanhood, for Kathleen and Bridget O'Daly, the 
 two eldest, were the kindest and best of nursea^ , . 
 ay I and the best of housewives, too. There was ,^^ 
 ^ son older than they whose name was Cormao-^

 DriscoH better than any one else in the world, 
 their parents, perhaps, excepted. 
 
 While the world went well with the.O'Daly^ 
 they kept a servant girl and two men-servants 
 |br earing the cattle and the two horses, and giving 
 % hand at the farm-work. Then there werd.sqme 
 X/sa. or twUve laborers employed on the farm the 
 greater part of the year, and during the time of- 
 putting in the crop, and again of taking it out and ' 
 gathering it in, there were many more employed, 
 both men and women. Tliere was always plenty 
 of everytliing in Bernard O'Daly's, but never 
 anything like waste, for Honora, his wife, was 
 what is called a thrifty housewife, and brought up 
 her daughters in the same habits. Hospitality 
 was a virtue common to the whole family, and all 
 the country round could bear witness that theim

 But, as they said themselves, '^it is a locg lane 
 that has no tumin',*' and though prosperity 
 attended the fortunes of the O'Dalys for mai)y a 
 long year, yet the time came at last when they 
 were to have theirs trial, and to find everything 
 going against them, where before all had gone on

 Kept up the old appearance of respectability ; as 
 long as the old clothes could be made to Ipok any 
 way decent, there was no outward signof poverty, 
 visible. But alas! evoi the skilful industry of 
 Kathleen and Bridget could not keep things from 
 wearing out : they altered, and turned, and scoured) 
 and dyed, untQ the garments would bear no 
 more, and it was pitiM to see t&e oonstematioat 
 of the whole family, when it was found that 
 " Cormac's best coat" or " Owen's buff vest" wasn't 
 worth " doing anjrthing to," or that " &ther*s brown 
 surtout" was " beginning to lodi very shabby." 
 There was no longer any means of replacing the 
 articles in question, and hmbe their decay was a 
 serious event to those who would fain have kept up 
 d decent appearance, at least "in the chapel on 
 Simday,", still hoping that better times would corns 
 again. Many a tear of sympathy was siied by their 
 neighbors, especially the poor, over the &Uing for.

 Wh«k Bernard QlDaly was rejomcd by his 
 
 ■on, they set out for their home, and on the wav 
 
 Cormao told his fether that he had made up hfs 
 
 mind to go to America, provided his parents gave 
 
 ' Aeir consent. " You know, fether dear," said he, 
 
 that from the present state of this unfortunate 
 
 country, we have none of us any other prospect 
 
 than that of endless misery, and if God spares me 
 
 to reach America, I hope. I'll be able to do some- 
 
 thmg for you aU. Hiat's the main object I have 
 
 Jn view." 
 
 The old man sighed heavily, and for a moment 
 he made no answer. When he did speak, his 
 yoice was low and tremulous. «I know, armao 
 -I know you mean well-an' I can't blame you 
 for wairtm to go, because I see plainly that there's •

 " An' I'm blest but I would, Nanny !" rejoined

 an' plenty, isn't it the least we can do to divide it

 "Nanny," said Ph'l, after a while's silence, "I 
 hope you'll stir yourself an' get that wool spun as 
 ftst as you can — if you'll only have me (wo or 
 three pairs of good long stockings knitted in the 
 oourse of a fortnight or so, I'll buy you an elegant 
 new shawl when they're finished." ■. * 
 
 Nanny stopjpcd short in her work— she was 
 washing the dinner dishes — and fixed her keen gray 
 eyes on her husband. •* Humph !" it was her 
 favorite inteijection, " Humph ! there's something 
 else in the wind now," said she at length, "tod 
 you may just as well tell me what it is at onst" ~ 
 " Indeed to' I will then, Nanny, for I don't want

 Protestant school-house of the districti— to wit, a 
 long, low building, with a slated roof, ". whiti^washed

 to the open door — r^ted his hand on either side 
 against the door-cheeks and popped in his head :

 " I know not who you mean, my good fellow P 
 said the grave teacher in a grave vt^ce. " Wherefore

 the salt-box (" Whtin all was done as Ihe desired, 
 and granny comfortably settled beside Mrs. O* 
 Daly, with EveleoKm a little oreepy at her side, 
 there were a thousand questions asked and answer- 
 ed, and many an exdatniation of pity and of 
 wonder escaped the Uitenera^ as the old ^oman 
 detailed how this fiunily had been put out of their 
 land, and were living under a shed by the waynride, 
 and how that other had to go to the prmr houSo 
 ho|r this one had died of starvation, and the other 
 was ''lyin' in the fever." But' ever ^d anon 
 granny Mulligan's eyes wandered Qver tin kitolien 
 iaA its '^plenishu^," and in the midst o^ her narra- 
 tion, a tf^ would oome, for there was indeed ^m 
 diange <m all things." In vab did she look for die 
 flitohes of baoon and goodly hams, and smoked 
 heads, which in other days hung suspended fiom 
 the sm«ke-blaokened rafters— the hioely-deaned 
 milk-vessels were ranged along under **'.the dresser," , 
 but granny was sorry to see so many of them, for 
 it showed that^tbere was now no other use for them

 ■old to make up the rent, and all hi vain— the rent 
 wasn't paid, nor couldn't be paid, aa gnumy.

 Tbb only being who oould really influence Har- 
 rington Ousely through his affections was his 
 daughter Eleanor, whom he loved with nearly, 
 undivided affection, for she was his only remaining 
 child, and such a child as oould not fail to evoke 
 all Uie tenderness of a parehtVheart. He regarded 
 his wife, it is true, with a 8oi4i of half-respectful, 
 half-loving kind of feeling, and did not scold or 
 abuse her more than oqoe a week or so, but she 
 had never exercised tbf|;|d^htest influents over 
 htm: in fitot, she h^jf^ri^ sufficient txier^ of 
 character ever to mabe the attempt. She waa 
 naturally of a soft and yielding dispositJon, full of 
 sympathy for the. woes of her fellow-creatures, and 
 ever ready to relieve them as ftr as lay in her

 the gradual decline of an only and bebvtd sister, 
 who was drooping day by day, and pining away 
 amongst strangers in a foreign land, her husband 
 being in the employment of government, so -that 
 he could not choose his place of abode. From 
 her eal'liest mfanoy, Eleanor had exercised no small 
 control over her father, even when .he had other 
 chUdren to divide his affection; but when death

 On the present occasion, she made up her mind

 « No, sir, they are just "preparing it."

 Dusely, andHhc pale-faced usher stepped up on • 
 sort of dais and commanded the boys to dose their 
 books. The order was instantly obeyed, some of 
 the poor, starved-lookrogurchins taking a last peep 
 before they closed theirlestaments. 
 
 "Nowaommenc^," said Dalton. " The fourteenth 
 chapter and first verse, of John. Peter O'Malley,

 Peter did say his verse, and the others followed 
 |n turn, until the whole of th»t mysterious chap- 
 ter was a»id; some fe# of the boys making sad 
 work of it, but in general thj^ said their verses 
 correctly. When the lesson%as ended, Jenkinson 
 turned to vhis visitors, with the wtjf a man who 
 expected a compliment. Mrs. Ousely was de- 
 lighted,and: told Mr, Jenkinson that he was doing 
 more to overthrow Popery, than theVhole Bible 
 Society and Tract Society put together. 
 
 «« You are very good to say so, Mrs. Ousely," 
 «ud Jenkinson. putting on a very modest air.

 again. Hie prayers were read — the responses 
 went up in fervent unison from every heart-« 
 Honora's lips were seen to move, and a smile came 
 oyer her wasted features, but neither foot nor hand 
 moved. At last the priest repeated the final Mt; 
 ** Depart, Christian soull go forth from this 
 world, ^c." When it was ended, the smile vaa 
 •till on Honora's face, and the hands were clasped 
 overthe beads and crucifix, but the lip? moved no 
 more,: the soul was already before the Judgment 
 seat. The priest bent down over the dead, to sa- 
 tisfy himself that all was over; |hen raising Us 
 hands and eyes to heaven, he said in a tremulous 
 voice: "May the Lord have mercy on yo«i, 
 HonoraO'Daly!"

 The old man followed with" the docility of »

 glance at the still p»le face of his dead wife, and 
 muttering, "Poor Honora!— och! ochl— is that 
 th& way with you at last 1" He said no more, but 
 wertt at the priest's bidding, and sat down by the 
 fireside in the kitchen. Father O'Driscoll then 
 reminded him that he had but little cause to 
 mourn Honora's death, at least as far as herself 
 was cflncemed, " for," said he, " the exchange is a 
 happy one for her." 
 
 "Odi! I know that. Father O'DriscoU!— I 
 know that well; but still— God help us— we can't 
 help grievin' for our own loss. I know she's better off, 
 your reverence, but then she'd gQft'e from us." He 
 looked over At the high-backed chair— now empty 
 —and he could say no more. The priest sat 
 i»lmly by till the old man hCd " cried his fill," aa 
 he said himsetf, and then he talked with him of the 
 exceeding great happiness of the "just made pit- 
 feet," and of the Mward reserved for those who 
 auffer all tWngs for God'a sake, unfd the bereaved 
 husband began almost % rejoice that his poor, 
 broken-hearted Honora had at length found rest

 but a few minutes after the priest, aiid when 
 she was going, she tried to prevail on Eveleeii 
 to go home with her until after the funeral. But . 
 Eveleen would not hear of such a thing, even 
 though Kathleen and Bridget advised her to go. 
 '* How wouFd you like to go yourselv^ ejther of *; 
 you?** said sh^ sobbing, "and to leave'. my poor 
 mother that will not be long with us now. Indeed, 
 Miss Eleanor ! I wonder you'd ask me to do such * 
 a thing.*' So saying^she eficaped into a^oomer 
 near the bed, and would' not hear another word. 
 
 Next morning, when the .appointed time was 
 oome, every relative and friend of the family hav- 
 ing kissed Uie cold, pale lips of the den), and bid 
 her a long- farewell, the lid was scrbwed.down on 
 the coflnn, and the corpse of poor J^nora O'Daly 
 was taken from the liousb whose mistress she had 
 been for well nigh thirty years. As the distance 
 to the grave-yard was not more than a mile, the 
 coffin wak borne on men's shoulders, parties of four 
 being appointed to relieve each other. Cormao 
 and Daniel, with two of their cousins, took the 
 first turn, and Phil Maguire insisted on being one 
 of the seo(md bearers. Bernard, with his son 
 Owen and his three daughters, walked after tha 
 coffin, and behind them followed granny Mulligan, 
 Nanny Maguire, and oar two aoqu«ntance^'Jud](

 " You say so, sir !" said Trelawney calmly. C-

 « Well ! Jjut the principle, sir— on what ppnd- 
 ple can you do this thing 11" 
 
 "Oh! as to thej)rinciple!" exclaimed Ousely, 
 snapping his fingers, "I don't care that for 
 principles. Protestantism mutt be'wpread, do you 
 see, by one moans or the other, and I never trouble 
 mygelf with any scruples as to how it is to be done.

 Hang it, that's my notion. Let that pass, now, for 
 you'll get no more out of me. I hope you can 
 find no fault with the system of teaching there 1" 
 
 " No, no," said O'Hagarty, opening his box and 
 taking a hug^ pinch of snuff; " I am sure the gen- 
 tleman must approve of the system ; Mr. Jenkin*

 bbya and girls are all intended for taking a part m 
 the fttntastic exhibitions of .Ewter Hall, but other- 
 wise it is good for nothing." 
 
 "Why, deuce toke me, Sir James!" cried 
 Ousely, with a horselaugh, "but I think you're 
 half a Papist yourself!" 
 
 " The gentleman is certainly no warm supporter 
 of Protestantism— that's plain enough, \ think," 
 observed the Rev. Mr. O'Hagarty, taking another 
 pinoh pf snufi; and then handing, the box to Sir 
 
 James. 
 
 "Thank you," said the baronet with a slight 
 bow, "I never take snuff. But you are quite 
 mistaken, gentlemen, in supposing me to favor the 
 Catholics. On the contrary, I was, until very re- 
 cently, an energetic opponent of theirs." ' . 
 
 "Oh ho ! I see," swd O'Hagarty, with emphasis, 
 " until very recently !— that's as much as to say 
 that you're not so still — eh I" 
 
 " I am' not aware, sir," said Trelawney, haughtily, 
 " that you have any right to question me as to 
 what change my opinions may have undei^fone. 
 Mr. O'Hagarty probably supposes that the Oxford 
 graduates are all on an inclined plane, but I am not

 "What are you talkin' about, Eveleen.r said

 « Husht now, Eveleen !" aaid her father, fearful 
 lest Phil Maguire might take the hint, and offer, 
 the money. "You're too ready with the tongue, 
 daughter dear!" 
 
 The visitors put it off with a joke, and thca 
 suffered the matter to drop. Phil and Nanny 
 ataid for fpi'hour or so, till Cormac got back, with 
 the f6ur pdmids, and ihw^^t^^ hurried away. On 
 the way home, they agreed TOtween them that dm

 But Phil's money was not needed, for that nigiA 
 granny Mulligan took Ckn-mao into the room, and 
 ;uking out an old ftded thraah-bag, told him to 
 Uke what he would find sowed in the one end

 Thus interdicted, Cormao could only squeeze the 
 haid, skinny hand held out to him, and, with tears 
 in hia eyes, invoke a blessing on the head o( his 
 generous old friend— the houseless, homeless wan- 
 derer, with the heart of a princess. Great was the

 Beligious instruotion is, oonse^uentTy, the primary 
 object in Catholic education, wliile secular learning 
 holds but a secondary place, coming in only as an 
 accessory. From the cradle, to the grave, the 
 CSatholior-that is, the true OathoKc — makes religion 
 the one grand sl&ir of life, and yet he fulfils all 
 human duties with a cheerfiilneas and a readiness 
 that contrasts well with the cold, proud spirit oi 
 Protestantism. There is no parade or ostentation 
 about Gstholio charity, as you must already have 
 observed.^ 
 
 •« Witness Phil Maguire," said Sir James with a 
 smile. 
 
 ' Yes, and his wife Nanny, who, with all her n^ 
 paroit eio»me$$, is, at bottom, no ^hit behind Phil 
 in generosity, or rather charity.^ I have a great 
 respect for both of them, and it does my heart good 
 to see them trudgbig along together, like Darby and 
 Joafh on Sunday morning, dressed up in their 
 best, the very picture of contentment and good 
 nature. Ah! I am sure— sure that God looks 
 graoioasly down on that worthy couple, with all 
 th(^ quStA eeoentrieity of namo', for they are 
 covered with alms^eeds and good worics. Iwoold 
 rathw be one of those kind-hearted, simple pea- 
 sants, praying before the altar <^ sacrifice in their 
 lowly chapel, thanking God alike for die good 
 brings and the «vU tUngs which he smds them,

 ♦I'm not goinV— 'Not goin',' says Andy, 'and 
 why not V says he.—' Because I'm not goiu' to act

 you'd think that MoGUllgah's big eyes grew twice 
 as big, an' he loolied at Harry as if he'd look him 
 through.— ' Why, what do you mane, Fineganf 
 says be.—' I mane jist what I said,' says Harry, 
 •I took my turn out o' you, to' got what I wanted, 
 an' I thank you kindly for helpin' me along through

 With Ihat Harry lifted this stick o' mine that hap- 
 pened to Ibe in the comer beside him, ati' he ipade 
 aflourisUas if he was.goin'to sthrike the Bibler 
 reader, though he was only playin'a trick on him, 
 bekase He knew what a coward he had to iaib 
 with. ' By this an' by that,' says Harry, • If you 
 don't make yourself scarce, I'll give you the 
 weight b' this.' He hadn't to' spi^ twice,, for 
 before you could snap your finger, there wasn't a 
 color of Andy to be seen, ui* you'd think Hafry 
 'id jist brake his heftrt'laughin'." * 
 
 • "It was certainly a summary way of getting 
 rid of him," said Father O'DriscoU with a smile. 
 " But' I fear . Harry will find these people very 
 troubliU>me — they arc not apt to forgive, and can 
 do niiuch hum." 
 
 I as to that, your rever^ce, Harry doesn't 
 care a fig for them — he's cbmiii' up this evenin' to 
 see yo^, but he%as ashamed to oom^ near yon, 
 till yoji'd hear how the matther stood. Don't be 
 too haM on him, your reverence, for it was love 
 for me an' his mother that made Um 4o what he 
 done, iJways hopin' that God 'id give him time to 
 repoit an' do what^was right"

 After the wnal friendly greeting, Sir James

 named Timotliy O'Hanlon — (or BimloH, as he lat> 
 terly styled himscilf, in holy horror of the old 
 Milesian 'O') — made their appearance; , demanding 
 if Bernard O'Daly were at home. Kathleen re> 
 plied in the affirmative, and sent Eveleen down to 
 the room for her &ther. The old'man<etarted, luad 
 his pale cheek was flushed /or a moment, when he 
 aaw wIh) his visitors were. Still mindful of the 
 old hospitality of/better timei, he first invited the 
 men to l>e seated,' an^ then asked what, they want-

 as death, and his lips were closely compressed ; he 
 tried to stand up^ but his trembling limbs refused 
 to perform their oRioe, and b^ sank again into his

 terror-etrioken creatures whom he had no longer

 exasperated mind. At Phil's requwt, ho accom-

 " fine dinner." When they reached the/oot of the 
 lane, the crowd separated, having first given three 
 dieers fur Phil Maguiro, and three more for 
 Bernard O'Daly ; then again for Father O'Drisooll, 
 who gave them his blessing at parting, and warmly 
 thanked them for their prompt and cheeifbl 
 obedience. " Long life to-yoii, Father O'Priscoll I 
 it 'id be a bad day for us if we didn't obey you !" 
 said one } " I hope that day 'ill never come !" 
 said another, as they turned away, each taking the 
 road to his own desolate cabin. ^ - 
 
 Owen was moody and silent all the ev^uing, 
 ; notwithstanding the persevering eflforts of his 
 friends' to divett. him from his gloomy thoughts. 
 
 "But tell me, Eveleen dear!'^ said KatUeeu, 
 suddenly, " what was it that kept you after us f^

 lasting, and so general, di«t one is almost tempted

 "Why, you forget, my dear Caroline,',* said Her ,

 " Well ! of tourse he knows best," said Mrs. 
 Hampton, "but if any one else said it, I should 
 certainly set it doym as a wholesale mistake, or 
 • somethmg else. But, of course, ai^hbishops never 
 lie. I only hope that the converts are of a «more 
 reputable character in othet places thaSi they are 
 here." 
 
 "As to that," said the Captain, "I suppose—^ 
 nay, I believe they are pretty much the same ril

 " For my part," said the sub, in a soft, lispit^ 
 tone, "I never trouble myself ..much about suJcAi 
 tilings, but I niiist say it is rather hard that tpe 
 should be obliged to escort these wretched converts 
 to church, as is the case in many places. I have 
 been several time^ obliged to do it, and really I 
 did feel exceedingly small on those occasions !"

 when word was brought to him of what was goii? 
 on ; and besides, the people gathered from &e and 
 near when the word went out, and they say there 
 wasn't sich a gatherin' seen this many a day." 
 
 Both mother and daughter stood aghast on hear, 
 ing this, and for a moment neither could speak. 
 
 "But are the O'Dalys left without a roof to 
 cover them 1" said Elewior at length. 
 
 "Hut, tut, UU» Eleanor! don't you know very 
 well," said John, « that the likes o' them wouldn't 
 be long on the road— no thanks to them that took 
 t^e shelter from them ! — why they weren't many

 It was late in the evening when Ousely came 
 home, and even then hw manner was still fluiried, 
 and h^s face paler than usual, from the effectsMil 
 the recent agitation. During dinner^he spoke littlej 
 and what he did say was cold'and^tem, without 
 ■ny allusion to what^had passed.' , He asked whera 
 the ladies had been, and they answered in^few 
 words. On the whole, the meal waa,any Oiing bui^ 
 pleasant, fof there was a gloom bulging over all, 
 and the very vimi» on the table seemed to have 
 lost their usual flavor. At an early hour— much 
 earlier than usual, Eleanor rejtired, and .the othera 
 'aoon after f<^wed hw'eattftple. \ 
 
 On the following day, Ousely seAned to have 
 
 recovered his usual spirits, and undertook to give 
 
 an account of the proceedings of the previous day. 
 
 i^eanor and her mother listened with appgrent

 Ousely never daring to find ikult with her hus- 
 band's ipnduot, and Eleanor well knowing Ihat 
 there was no good then to be effected by her inter- 
 ferenue. She was sick at heart, and fek as though 
 she would have given worlds to be anywhere but 
 whfire sue was. The almost daily qecu^ence of* 
 these scenes was a source of unmif^ted torture 
 to her sensitive mind, and each trftgedy, as it oo- 
 ourrod, seemed to weake;p her i^ection for l^er 
 father, who was the author and executor of 
 them all. \ 
 
 Her tenderest sympathies werewith the poor, 
 aufferiiig people, who were" made to «ndure such 
 unheard of miseries, and who bore them with such .'■ 
 unprecedented patience and. resignation. <> Hiefar 
 ftifferings, and their virtues, and their humble piety 
 we*6 fonstantly in he*- mind, and ^these,, coupled 
 with her acquired knowledge of the Catholic reli. 
 gion, and her conviction of its divine origin, gra- . 
 dually brought her raind to a fixed and steady 
 resolution to cross the Rubi<Sbn,fand take refuge in 
 the land of peace. Ba<k for the present she kept 
 her dcfcision tQ herself, awaiting a more favorable 
 opportunity to disdose it, even to her mother. 
 
 In thet course of the day, Mr. Ousely told his 
 ^wife that he was going to. give O'Daly's place to 
 Alick ^tfeeny. " The fello# deselrves something,'^ 
 said ^^^' for he*^ has done me good serTice,'aiid

 Ouaely to ride over to Clareview early in the 
 tnoming, and engage the Dixon family for dinner. 
 
 " By Jove I will !" said Ousely, "-and we'll have

 oftaid of the ghoets you were, or what came orve 
 you just now ?'

 was again silent, and his eyer involuntarily wan> 
 dered over the sniiair ceiiietery. All there was 
 calm and silent as in the one just passed ; indeed, 
 it was a prettier sight to look on, for there were 
 stately monuments, and white tombstones, and neat 
 headbtones, but the cross vf as wantingj t)iat sacred

 shuddered, and a'oold chill crept over him. Once, 
 twitXI did Ousely speak to him wi|hout obtaiin^og 
 on answer, and at last he laid hold of his turn, and' 
 shook it roughly. O'Hagarty started, and was^ 
 yery near screaming aloud, but finding that it was 
 'On^ly'a hand thttt had grasped his arm, he affeoted 
 to laugh at his own absence of mind, and made a 
 desperate effort to appear gay.

 murmured Ousely, who was growing fiwnter every

 O'Hagarty, till there's » carriage sent down for

 When O'Hagarty reached the house, he did not 
 
 iftkto see the ladies until he, had first giyen th^ 
 
 .necessary orders about the carriage, and while 
 
 Ben was getting, it ready, he went into one of the 
 
 parlors, and sent up a- message to the effect that 
 
 he would be glad to see Mrs. or Miss Ousely for a 
 
 moment Ele^or was down in an instant, for,

 The sergeant looked from one to the other with 
 his cold, dull eyes; then answered them all at the 
 tame time : . 
 
 •♦ He is arrested on suspicion of having fired at 
 
 Mr. Ousely of Ousely HaVl !"

 -Come! come! I can't stand here answering 
 questioBS. Put on your hat, young man !^ and

 "Sir!" swd Owen, drawing his, slight figure up 
 
 to its fullest height; "Sir! I have never fired at 
 
 any man, and if Mr. Ousely has been nhot, I never

 ** To-night — about an hour ago !" replied the ser^ 
 geant sternly. " Stephenson ! have you the hand-

 " WRy, the Lord bless you, sir," cried Nanny 
 Maguire, " sure we can every one of hs swear that 
 the poor boy didn't cross that threshold since night>

 what in the world wide put it in any one's head to 
 accuse Aim of it — him that wouldn't hurt a dog ! — 
 hntl tut!" 
 
 By this' time poor Bernard began to realize the 
 dreadfbl truth ! — they were putting the handcuft 
 CD his innocent child— his poor boy, that never 
 di^ man'or mortal any harm ! 
 
 ** Oh, sir, deu !" he cried, the tears streaming^ 
 down hia foi^roved cheeks— ** Oh, sir, dear, don't

 But neither tears nor prayers could avail— the 
 old man and the weq>ing girls, and Nanny, with - 
 her oflicious kindness, were in turn pushed aside, 
 and poor Owen was nfiarched away lilv • comiAoa

 MMfw that before many hburs passed Id be re> 
 vengedi "Tba Lord fo^tgive* me ! I know I, waa 
 wroQg; but then I couldn't help it, for it seemed 
 as if I iMMt do somethingy^and I <tel, your honori' 
 I borrowed a pistol from a friend of my own, and 1 
 watched for Oiliely all day, till at hut I got a 
 dlianoe, and I &ed a}; him.' Thank^O^ he wasn't 
 killed, though thai I intended nothin^ else ; but 
 my hand trembled, and the ball didn't strike where 
 ^ I thought it would, and so he' e8<Saped that time. 
 Now I'm ^ad ot it ; when the passion, or the mad- , 
 ness, or whatever it wb% cooled down, I thanked 
 my (vod that I hadn't taken his life, Uiough I know 
 fi^ sin was all the same. But what I trouble yop 
 ; for now, Mr, Dixon, is bekase I was tould that poor 
 , Owm O'Daly was taken iip for what I bad done, 
 and as so<m as I got my brothw to lend me what 
 would take me to Amenoa, I thought Fd write to 
 you, sir, hopin' Uat you, bbin' a magistrate, would 
 set matters right ' Of course I couldn't do it* till 
 I got fiere, but now the vessel's to sail ^in two 
 hours, and then 111 be ou^ of readi. Now, hon<nw 
 ed sir, I have tould you the whole truth, just ^s if 
 I was goin' tofiMse my Ood— ^ admowledgd^^tJiitf 
 guilty of thia crime, and \ ask God's ^ardont (i^ it, 
 but I din't resTso long ais that poor in]K)oait boy 
 is in danger, or suspected of dom' whathe never 
 dttie, or never knew anytUng about. God- bless 
 yon. Mister Dixon, and exert yoursidf for him;

 that made the floor qiltver. Eleanor's heart was 
 iik6 to breiak: it was the first tiihe that eVer she 
 had received such treatment from her father, and 
 she could scarcely persuade herself that the whole 
 scene was not a dream. But alas ! it was stem 
 reality, afad with all Uer filial afieotioh, s^ could 
 liot help being ashamed of her father^ Unwilling 
 to tell her mother of what had ha{ipened, lest it 
 'dfight inflict k new wound on her already lacerated 
 heart, she shut herself up in the priva<^ of her 
 own Apartment untif she had obtdned sufficient 
 composure to meet liet mother without ady out-

 that hour of fiial that the light of true religion had

 It was -fortunate for Owen O'Daly that Mr. 
 Dixon was on the Grand Jury on the day when 
 his case was brought before that body. Ousely, 
 as the complainant, was, of course, incapacitated^ 
 from " sitting," but he blustered and swore most 
 awfully, and did all he c^uld to brow-beat his 
 brother jurors into a perfect conformity with his 
 own views. O'Hagarty was the only witness he 
 had to bring forward, and when that worthy gen- 
 tleman 6ame to-be examined, though it was quite 
 evident that he wanted to oblige Mr. Ousely, yet, 
 do what he tp>uld, he could not plvtHp it. Ousely, 
 indeed,' had said that they were both r<eady.to 
 swear that it was O'Daly whom they had seen 
 running across the field, that is, *' to the bes^ of 
 theit- knowledge," but O'Hsgarty was too oun

 Mt my fiUJier is fully «8 much incensed bgainst m« 
 M I had expected. He will not hear of my maife^ 
 lying Sir James IVelawney, because of his ipoata^ 
 cy, as be ebooseii to tinitlder it, though he admits 
 that, in every Other reqpect, hc> is just the man 
 whom be would have diosen for me. Now, revee- 
 end sir, what I wish to ask you is this. "Am I, or 
 am I not, justified in giving my hand when my 
 heart is long since given, and with the sanction ot 
 my dear, my excellent mother, in case my &ther 
 is still obstinate in refuung, on Uie plea of religion I 
 I sliiJl leave the matter to your deciston, as my 
 spiritual guide and director." 
 
 In the oourse of the evening, she received the 
 answer. Father O'Drisooll said that it was her' 
 du^ to use every possible means, in order to ob- 
 tain her &ther's ctmsent ; but that, in case he still 
 held out, she was no Ipagee bound to obey him, 
 inasmuch as he forfeited the rights of ftj^frent by 
 endeavoring to coerce the oonsdencQ^iii^Us child. ; 
 fo that CMC, die most rest satisfied'^ith- her mo- 
 ther's approbation, and leave the rest to God, who, 
 in his own good tame, would move the heart of 
 her&ther. ' , 
 
 Eleanor communicated this to her mother, 4rbo 
 was greatly distressed. She oould not blame hec 
 daughter, nor yet FatW O'DriacoU, but still she 
 shrank firoih the prospect of losing that beloved

 auide a last eflfort to persuade her hasband, but 
 he was even more obstinate than before, and cut 
 her short by declaring, with a tremendous oatl^ 
 that he'd sooner see Eleanor Ousely in her grave, 
 than see her marry a Papist— "tl^ugh- the hussy

 " It is the natural ontpouring of the mother's

 Eleanor kissed her mother's forehead, uid went

 "Thrue for you, Sir James !" said a voice near 
 him, and the voice made all the young jpedplo 
 start, it was so like th? voice of Phil Maguire. 
 And sure enough it wis Phil himself, and no 
 other, who had spoken, apd tbsre he sat on a bench 
 in the com*r, all alone, his eyes swimming in joy- 
 Ad tears, and his &oe as brimful of happiness as 
 ever human feoe was. Eleanor and Trehiwney 
 smiled, and Phil nodded and smiled agafai, and

 tone : "Thrue for you. Sir James— it's you that's 
 the Juoky gentleman all out."

 Trelawney led. Eleanor to the place appointed* 
 while Arthur and AnIeUa took their seats onohatn 
 placed for them. What higl| and wlemn thougirta * 
 flitted through the mln^s of the youthfiil^ pair, as 
 they knelt before the altar — " the altar of saorifiiee''^

 Th^/iysed thebr eyes respectfiilly to the picture 
 of tlve Crudfixion whidi hung over the altar— it 
 was only a colored, engraving, but viewed in con* ' 
 neotion with Catholic worship, it recalled the whole 
 moumfiil loene of Oalvary, and softened the Chris,

 Eleanor felt such sensible devotion, as when

 corral welcome from Mr. and Mn. Dixon. In 
 the oourne of the ' afternoon, Father O'DrisooU 
 called, and was at once introduoed into the draw 
 
 ingrdom. 
 
 •• Well ! my dear sir!" Mud Elei^or.thtf moment 
 she saw him ; " did you Buoceed 1" 
 
 "I did !" replied the priest with a smile, as he 
 shook hands with Mr. Dix<m and his amiaWe wife. 
 •J Ifwi'Ve to have Bridget, Lady Trelawney, on 
 TOndition that you keep a close watch over her 
 outgoings and incomings—those are Bernard's own 
 
 wordis," ^ , 
 
 ♦'Thanks, reverend «r!— the condition is one 
 whidi i would, in any case, have observed. I trust 
 Bridget will have no reason to repent of oommg 
 with me, and then , there will be one less • on rt<

 "Are you not afraid of losing Mr.. Ousely's 
 friendship, Mr. Dixonl" said Father O'Driscoll, 
 with his placid smUe. " He wiU scarcely forgive 
 you'for receiving his ^ruant daughter— begging her 
 ladyship's pardo»r 
 
 " He may do for that as he likes, my dear sir," 
 replied Mr. Dixon. "So long as my oonsdenoe 
 does not reproach me, I care little for any man's 
 displeasure.- I ttok I have done him no in- 
 jory in this affiOr," he added significanUy ; « tSere

 In the'course of die evening Mr. Dixon related 
 the scene which he had witnessed in the fpige p 
 few days befo^ and the company enjoyed a hearty 
 laugh at the expense of poor Mt^illigan, styled by 
 Amelia "the knight of the rueful oounteAance." 
 Mr. Dixon went on to say. that the honest black*^ . 
 smith had been brought before the bench for the 
 crime of burning the bible. " Fortunately," said '^ 
 he, "there was barely a quoruiQ ntting, and of 
 the three two of us inhere opposed to tlie prosely- 
 tising system, so we dismissed the case, with an 
 admonition to the bladumith not to bum any more 
 bibles, ' 
 
 He had scarcely done speaking when Mrs. 
 busely was announced, and Eleanor hastened down 
 stairs to have a little private talk with her mother 
 before she entered the drawing-room. In a few 
 minutes Sir James was sent for, a!nd when they all 
 three rejoined the company, Mrs. Ousely was lean* 
 ing on his arm nnd smiling' through the tears 
 which dimmed ><4sr still lieautifu] eyes. When all

 "Mother! let me make you aoquunted with 
 Father O'DriscoU— now indeed ittjf <»*«' '•" 
 
 "I was unwilling to offer myself to your ac-

 apectful bow, "net knowing ho# you ^ght be 
 disposed to regard a C»t^Uc priest, and especially 
 one who has had the happiness of opening the 
 doors of the Church to Sir James tod Lady Tre- 
 lawney, a heinous crime, I admit!" He smUed as 
 he spoke Uiese words, uA Mrs. Ouscdy smiled too. 
 ""Nay, my good sir," said she, « I am not qufte 
 as bad as you suppose, in that respecb—I am a

 '*WeU, Phil! what's tfie matter now 1— any

 brought many changes ; for there is no year that 
 rolls away into the far depths of eternity, without 
 producing some revolution, or effecting some 
 'change •♦ in the iiflbirs of men." Bernard ODaly 
 had moved into the house so Itindly given ^im by 
 Mr. Dixon, and through the kindness of Phil and 
 Nanny, and a few other neighbors who were still 
 in a condition to give • little hdp, it was soon 
 provided ^ith the little plenishing which the fiimiiy 
 required. Owen had regular employment at 
 Clareview, where he was eogiiged to assist the 
 gardener aU die year round, and Mr. Dixon gave 
 him a small plot of ground, on very moderate 
 terms, wtich he odtivated before and after hours, 
 and thus raised as much vegetables as helped to

 Their father met them at the door, and befora 
 he had time to speak, Eveleen put the Jetter into his 
 hand, having first kissed it over and over. Agita- 
 ted by his exceaaive joy, the old man could scarce- 
 ly keep his feet, and his daughters led him to a 
 seat Then, when he did attempt to open' the let- 
 tor, his hands trembled so that he could not succeed 
 in breaking the seal. Handing it tb Kathleen, he 
 said: "There^ Kauth, darling! do you read it- 
 joy is a'moet as powerful as grief, children !— I 
 wish poor Owen was here at the openin* of it, but 
 fure we oan^ have emy thing we wish— 4he Lord 
 make as thily thanlful for what He sends us ! Go 
 on, Kathleen dear, let us l^ear what's in it" 
 
 The letter was written one half by Gormao, and 
 the other by Daniel. It spoke at many trials and 
 hardships, ''all past and gone," as the brothers 
 grat^ttlly said, and of sudden prosperity pouring ' 
 in upcMi them when they least expected it ; and aa 
 a proc^ that they did not forget the condition in 
 whidi they had left « the loved ernes at home," 
 they inclosed a draft for am kutidrtd doBan, beii^ 
 tweitfy fouiMk aterlhig. (IVy had soit five pounds 
 before, which had been laid outon a suit of clothes 
 for Bernard, and another for Owen.) Tliey 
 both aaanred thehr fotbor that he need not want 
 for any comfort, for that Uwy were both in good 
 aituations, CiMinao as steward of a steamboat,

 Bv wjKf of introducing aome observations wUch 
 I mean to make on the i»n?MlyUiing aystem in 
 Ireland, I thinli I cannot do Isetter than lay the fol- 
 lowing extracts before the reader, with the single 
 remark that they are all from Protestant writers 
 whose words I give vtrhatim. 
 
 ** There is not in th^orld a more modest raoe 
 of wooden than the Irii ; a remark which equally 
 applies to all ranks and Alasses among them. . . . 
 The Irish are a mos't obliging, kind-hearted, and 
 hospitable people. In all these qualitiiJs they areun. 
 equalled by any other nation in Europe. To have 
 an opportunity of obliging, or showing attention 
 to a stranger, aflTords an Irishman a pleasure of the 
 highest order. ... The Irish are a nation of 
 practical philanthropisUj Uiey rejoice in tiie hap- 
 piness of others. TheyVe happy if Uiey can only 
 promote Uie happiness of strangers One might 
 travd from one extremity of tiie Island to another, 
 withont having cause to complain of a cold look,

 « teke and read," just as though poor, simple, illi.

 In conclusion I will quote, for the benefit of the 
 
 jPfptestant reader, those memocable words of the 
 
 late Richard Lalor Shiel, Ireland's great orator, 
 
 himselt a faithful son of the Moat Holy Church o[ 
 
 Ch**:' 
 
 " Theji^tholic religion, indigenous »the soil^of 
 Ireland,^s struck its roots far and deep in the 
 hearts and affections ot her people ; it grows 
 beneath ^ axe, and opens with the blast ; whilst 
 the Proteiitant creed, though ^preserved in a mag- 
 nificent conservatory, at a prodigious cost, pines 
 away like a sfokly exotic^ to which no natural 
 vitality can be imparted " 
 
 It would .be''well if the Irish proselytizers uid 
 their supported made a deep and earnest study of 
 this text; they woul^hperhaps, become both wiser 
 and tetter men, anlr might save themselves a 
 world of trouble, and useless .trouble, too, for, 
 Vith the Wiessing of God, tlie children of St. Pa- 
 tftck shall continue to be#B they have ever been, 
 immovably attached to the chair of Peter, and 
 guided by the old lamp of faith. '
