[For the JOURNAL.] MISS BIDDY McCANN ; - OR, - THE WONDERFUL HAND. BY DENNIS O'RAFFERTY PART FOURTH TILE GRAND FINALE, Within a foul cave in the regions of night, The fearful abode of hobgobblin and sin ite, Surrounded by spectres forbidding and grim, Behold, as a prisoner, venturesome Tint. A jury assembled to sit on his case, Whose faces displayed neither beauty nor grace; The provident judge, master-spirit of vice, Gazed out with a leer that turned Tim's heart to ice. " Call Timothy Byrne," said the judge with a frown, Unfetter his limbs, let his wrists be unbound; Have you any reason to offer, young man, • For wickedly stealing 'Tun WornEaFuL HAND.' "A rason ?'' cried Tim, "be me sowl an I have, 'Tis this that me sowl the rich treasure did crave I knew not ver honor on it had a claim; I thought it wluld secure me both riches and fame. " Instead it has been all the canoe of me grafe, It's right glad I am that ye Lave it home safe, And if ye'll hut free me and let me depart, Ye're welcome to kape it µ•id all of me heart." "Nay mortal," quoth he who presided, "'tie mete That ere you should lave such a lovely retreat, A lesson of wisdom we to you impart, To teach you to meddle no more with our art. "Convey hint in haste to "the slippery crag,' Where perished the nettle-brained Clare county hag— And if by good fortune its summit he gains, Let freedom reward the rash youth for his pains." A giant now seized him and bore him away To where rose a precipice, rugged and gray, And bidding hint seek for a mode of egress, lle left him to scale it or dieat its base. "()eh hone gramachree !" cried poor Tim in despair, "The dinil himsel couldn't clamber up there; But if I lie here I'll be food for the bats, They'll fight o'er me fl,sh like the Kilkenny cats. "So here goes to try for me freedom wid might ; Swate l asgin assist me to scale the smooth height Paralysis saize on that lIANo, is me prayer, I'll ne'er stale another I vow and declare." Just then a large bird, of a race now extinct, Mistaking poor Tim for a pig, so I think, Flew down from its perch, taking Tim by the hair, It sailed away heavenward up through the air. Retaining his presence of mind, he was mute, For fear he might frighten the murdtheriu brute One only remark did he venture to make, " Be jabers Fine saved if his howld dizn't break !" But oh what a thinking he kept up meantime, As nearer the top his rude captor did climb ; He kicked off Hs boots thus to lessen his weight, For fierce was the pain that encircled his pate. But safely the bird brought him up to the top, And into its nest his fair body did drop ; The young birds put on quite a look of dismay, For ne'er had they gazed on such strange looking prey, The parent-bird looked on poor Tim with disdain, Half tempted to tumble him over again ; But ere it had time, pro or con, to decide, Tim left at a pace that a race-horse defied. When safe ont of sight he decided to pause, To bind up the gashes made by the bird's claws ; But what was his horror to find his head bare, Ills life had been saved by the breadth of a hair. To moralize then the great spalpeen began: . " Was leer it thus since creation of man ? Had Absalom's hair carved his body as well Ho might have been living the story to tell. "But chore I am glad that it stuck to Me head Until I was safe void the young birds in Led, For bad it gev way but a moment before I might have been knockin' at St. Peter's door. "I'm glad I escaped wid the loss of me hair ; I'll lave the bird that, chute, in pledge for me fare, And if I'm ne'er ;Mettle pledge to redeem, hould that mild bird iu the highest esteem. " Henceforth I shall live by the sweat of me brow And thry to kape clear of that party below ; W id pockets bereft now of aril's mate rout, curtail ambition me prospects to suit. "A widower now wid youth's bloom en 'me cheek, A mate Irish lass for u partner I'll seek ; But shore I must get me a wig for this head, They'll think it was robbed by the vixen that's dead "Financially spaking, that scheme was a miss, Except the remembrance of marital bliss; The joy it imparted io hear she was dead, Does scarcely o'er balance au ogle-clawed head. "But why do I vent on poor Biddy me spleen? The fault we/ill hers that is plain to be seen ; Pier charms were to me like a cable of sand, The 'open sesame' was 'Tin WONDERFUL HAND: "Bad luck to the HAND, it has ruined me quite, Uncovered me head, and near killed me wid Light ; May ague unnail ivory finger straightway, And bind them to Satan t., swaten his tay." ght Aterg-Zelltr. THE GHOST OF HERON LIKE. Under the young shade of the old trees before the Heron Lake House, Hugh Che viot tied his horse, and took off his straw hat to feel the balmy woodland air bathe his temples. It was dewy and sweet with the scent of horse chestnut blossoms.— Through the slopes of birches and alders the lake glimmered Hue like a sheet of steel. Cheviot drew a long, quivering breath. "Glad to see you, colonel !" called his host from the portico. "Yes, lam here at last," responded Cheviot, advancing toward the house, but his gaze wandering after two white but terflies waltzing down the slope. "Fine weather," placing two chairs in proximity on the piazza. "It seems to we the moat beautifd Spring for years," was the response, as Cheviot sat down, the sunset light striking full on his face—the face of a warrior, scarred and marked with life, but noble as stern. "The house is not full, I think you said ? It will be quiet here ?" "Quiet enough," responded Peter Stew art, shrugging his shoulders. "Who are your guests ?" asked Cheviot, pulling at his brown beard. "Heron Lake cannot be a fashionable locality ?" with a half-apprehensive look toward a glittering carriage-load of ladies rolling along the tree-hung road. "No, no. Those arc people from the village, six wiles away. It's Mr. St. Lambert's team. Nice horses ; see the furthermost bay. There's a gait for you !" "Yes, yes. Then they are not coming here g" "Well, Mr. St Lambert's here—some times." "Boards here ? And who else ?" "A family named Stamford, another named Rochester, and a few invalids." . Cheviot appeared satisfied. The supper bell rang. After supper, seized by the enticing charm of the steel-blue water glinting among the trees, he startel suddenly to visit it. His host called after him : "It's a half a mile away !" but he still kept on. The glades were scented and sweet.— The birds twittered sleepily on the branch es of blossomed boughs, or eyed him with bright, hidden eyes from their nests. He found a tinkling little brook leading down to the lake, and followed it. It widened gradually into the sheet of pal c, blue water. Bankful among the darkening green, Heron Lake gemmed the forest like a pearl. "Why did they give this lovely spot such an ugly title ?" murmured Cheviot, seating himself upon a fallen tree. The fading light grew murky; the si lence deepened ; yet the sweetness and coolness held him until all was black and still. A rushing noise in the bushes suddenly startled him. 'Was it midnight ? He was wet by the dew. lie rose to his feet, re called to his task of returning. But as he turned, a figure, dimly white, stood in his path Slight and light and graceful, it waived aside, and was gone. For a moment he doubted that he had beheld it. All was dim and lonely, and the rustling tree-tops were monotonously repeating some vague, sad story. "Has Heron Lake a ghost ?" he asked HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1875. himself, as he plunged through the alders homeward. "31r. St. Lambert, Colonel Cheviot.' The gentlemen acknowledged the intro duction somewhat formally, both privately preferring not to be intruded upon ; but Mr. Peter Stewart silently congratulated himself upon having done the correct thing. Mr. St. Lambert had been at the llcron Lake House full three days, and until now no opportunity of presenting Colonel Che viot, his favorite guest, to this gentleman had occurred. Mr. St. Lambert was sit ting on the piazza, and Col. Cheviot, lost in thought, had approached inadvertently. A cold, well-chiseled, handsome face was St. Lambert's, with pale hair curling around it. His dress. his diamonds, were exquisite. He was about thirty years of age—nearly ten years younger than Che viot. Each man, you would have said, understood himself well. The colonel remarked that it was fine weather. "Yes, but a cursed lonely spot to find it in !" responded Mr. Lambert, taking ad vantage of Mr. Stewart having been called in-doors. "You are detained here against your will ?" "I hoped to be in Paris this month," was the reply. In three days more Peter was satisfied that Lis two distinguished guests would not fraternize. Cheviot was getting the rest of spirit that lie netqled. And soon, since the Rochesters and the Stamfords were not intrusive, and the heart of the woods was open to him, he felt himself slowly coming to life, after years of suffering that had benumbed him. All his hopes in life had been centered upon a woman who was lost to him. The old story, but never beyond belief to the stricken heart upon which it falls. Clare Edgerton's marriage, against her will, to the man to whom her father was indebted, had cast a shadow, like that of a grave stone, down the path of Cheviot's All beauty, all enjoyment was lost to him when he found himself bereft of her. lie seemed to have died to himself But now the sky and the rustling boughs, and the violets looking at him blue and brave•eyed from the grass, arous ed and vitalized him. A voice came out of the wood's recesses saying : "This is not all. There is more to come." Meanwhile he ate the trout of the hill side streams, slept sweetly, was polite to the Stamfords andßochesters, and avoided Mr. St. Lambert. He awoke one night, and heard a voice singing outside of the window. A woman's voice, sweet and strange, and with vibra tions in it that seemed familiar. Moonlight shone white on the wall, through the branches of a tree. He aroused himself and looked at his watch. It was a quarter to three in the morning. Strange as the circumstance was, an al most unaccountable excitement seized him, as he dressed and went out upon the upper piazza. But already there were lights and the voices of men about the house. Soon a voice—it was very like St. Lambert's— called, "We've got her !" Then all grew still. . But be could not sleep again until past day-break. That singing voice so haunted him. The next day he made inquiries. A sick woman, deranged by spells, had escaped from tl►e care of her nurses. they told him. Two weeks passed ; A wild, rainy spell drove Cheviot in-doors from his accustomed haunts, and little Mrs. Rochester, who secretly admired the stern man with the sad eyes, invited him to her private parlor, an invitation which, to his own surprise, he accepted. First she tried him with a bit of gossip. . _ _ _ "Have you heard," she said, -"that Mr. St. Lambert is to be married next week ?" Cheviot had not heard. "To Miss Rosa Grant, of New York, who is staying at the village hotel, six miles off. And they do say, Colonel Che• viot, that he has a wife!" "A wife ?" 'Yes, an insane wife. And that she, is kept here in a back wing of the house with her nurses. Mr. St. Lambert is wealthy, though they say it is with her fortune; but money won't help him to get divorced from a sick wife," concluded Mrs. Rochester, with flashing eyes, which were to be interpreted by the fact that the little woman was in delicate health, and had a course looking husband, who treated her with brutal indifference. "Certainly not," said Cheviot. "I have never seen this invalid woman. St. Lambert says it is his sister, but I know parties who can prove that she is his wife. Peter Stewart is in the secret. Do you know that she escapes and wanders about the ground ? And that is what the ex citement was about the other night !" "Indeed ! I distinctly heard some strange, sweet singing." "She has a heavenly voice. And she calls, sometimes, a man's name, piercingly, sweetly ; it would make your heart ache if you chanced to hear it. But they al ways bush her up and keep her as quiet as possible. This is my third summer here, or I should not know so much." "The skeleton in the house," said Che viot, smiling. Ares, almost literally. They say she is pined away to look like a spirit more than a living thing." "A spirit ? I think I saw one in the woods the night I came here exclaimed Cheviot. "Perhaps it was Mrs. St. Lambert." "Possibly," returned Cheviot., with a start. lie sat musing for a while on what he bad heard. In course of a few days the strange story became familiar to him. The indifference which he bad before felt for St. Lambert now changed for a decided disapproval and dislike. "A bad man," he said to himself, re garding more attentively the handsome Greek profile and the bold eyes. The next week closed the stay of Colo nel Cheviot at the Heron Lake House. Once more he wandered alone to the little sheet of blue water, and as the afternoon was hot and the balsamic scent of the pines heavy, he fell asleep, couched luxuriously on a bed of brown, rustling leaves. A violent peal of thunder awoke him. He sprang up. The sky was blaek. Lines of lightning played above the pine-tops. It was too late to escape; he could only sink back under the matted boughs, trust ing to their destiny to protect him from the coming rain. "Suddenly, pleadingly, sweetly, a voice called his name. "Hughie ! Hughie!" Cheviot leaped to his feet "Hughie !" "Huabie !" How frightfully like the voice of the woman he had lost ! But she would never call him more. No, no—never any more! lie threw himself down among the russet leaves again, almost with a sob. _ _ How he bad loved the lips which had made that plain name sweet ! Oh, God'. but thou only may witness the strong man's agony. When Cheviot again raised his head, the slight white figure of a woman, stood beside the basin of the little lake. He gazed at her, momentarily, his gaze deep ening. Her pure cut features, the wealth of silky black hair unrolled and falling down the loose gray dress, the frail white hands, the attenuated yet graceful form— they were lire, and yet unlike, the Clara Edgerton he had been bereft uf, and again he found himself upon his feet, and breath lessly fearfully pressing fbrward. The white r figure Moved slowly along the bank, her gaze turned aside. Overhead the thunder rolled heavily. Suddenly there was a crash among the bushes. The figure of a man leapt into view. The white figure turned at the sound. Then, like one who, weak and helpless, anticipates violence, the strange woman flung herself upon her knees with the ring ing cry : '-Mercy ! Mercy :" A muttered cum, and her captor was upon her. By her loose dark hair he drag ged her prostrate. With his booted foot he kicked her eeble body, while she seem ed to have fainted. It was a man with the face of a demon that Cheviot sprang upon and choked from a hold upon his victim. St. Lambert ! For a moment the two men glared at each other. Then a blinding light seemed to scar their eyeballs. "One shall be taken and the other left." When Hugh Cheviot regained conscious ness, a woman's tender hand was brushing the rain from his face. Softly her tremu lous voice cooed above him : 4 •llughie ! Hughie !" "Clare !" He looked up into her eyes, meeting his pitifully under the disheveled black hair. "You are not hurt ; but he is dead," she said. Clare Edgerton and the wife of St. Lam bert !—who lay lifeless where heaven's thunderbolt had stretched him ! Wrapped close in his cloak, and borne in his arms, he carried his treasure back to the hotel. That she was now quite sane they were all obliged to acknowledge. And when St Lambert was brought in on a stretch er. his scarred, blackened and distorted face told too plainly bow he had died. Miss Rose Grant drove out in her car riage, but beard a tale of her lover which sent her back speechless and shivering. Devotion and happiness won Clare back to health, sercaity and strength. Her for tune was rescued, and in a month she was the happy wife of a happy husband—Mrs. laugh Cheviot. for the ;1; Mien. Good-Nature. Be good natured ifyou can, for there is no attraction so great, no charm so ad mirable. A face that is full of the ex pression of amiability is always beautiful. It needs no paint and no powder. Cos metics are superfluous for it. Rogue can not improve its cheeks, nor lily white mend its complexion. Its loveliness lies beyond all this. It is not the beauty that is but skin deep. For when you gaze into the face of noble man or woman, it is not the shape of the feature you really see, nor yet the tint of the cheek, the hue of the lip, or the brilliancy of the eye. You see the nameless something which animates all these, and leaves fin• your instinct a sense f,f grateful fascina tion ; you see au indescribable embodi ment of a heartfelt goodness within, which wins your regard in spite of external ap pearance, and defies all the critical rules of the msthetic. Cultivate good-nature, therefore. It is better than "apples of gold set in pictures of silver," fer gold will take to itself wings and fly away, sil ver will tarnish in time, and both, when abundant, lose their comparative value ; but good-nature never, never loses its worth—never abandons its possessor to the mental poverty of the malicious— never loses its hold on the esteem of the world. It is always in fashion and always in season. Everybody admires it. It never grows stale. It costs little to ac quire and nothing to keep. Yet it is be yond diamonds in its worth to its owners, and can neither be stolen nor lost, how ever neglected. Surely this is a jewel that merits a search ; and, when found, merits a protection. Possess yourselves of it, young women ; no talisman will find you so bewitching in the judgment of the sen sible among the other sex. Modern Courtship. The z'ysteni of love, courtship and mar riage has undergone very radical changes since the days when Jacob devoted a con siderable portion of his life to winning Leah, the tender-eyed, and Rachel, the beautiful. Who, in this age of steam, electricity and Atlantic cables, could devote seven years to paying those laborious attentions which have justly come to be called "serious"- 51 serious, indeed, that in many instances the :'lishiooable pair are oppressed by a sad feeling of soberness during the remainder of their lives ? Even Jacob himself, did he live in our time, would scout at the idea as preposterous. Fancy "the girl of the peri od" bombarded with flowers, at the rate of ten dollars per boquet, during seven mortal winters ! Calculate how many hundreds of miles of "Germans" the aspirants would dance during the same space of time ! Im agine the innumerable cups of tea he would imbibe in the domestic circle while on such long terms of intimacy with his beloved's family. No physical system could stand it. The most robust man would break down under the ordeal.— Even Patrick himself, who from early youth has been brought up to constant and severe labor, would find it impossible, while "kapeing company" with Bridget, to "ice-crame and discoorse her" for a pe riod of seven consecutive years. The world was made in seven days ; but many of the enterprising youth of the present age have shown that all the courting necessary be fore marriage can be accomplished in much less time, Jacob to the contrary uotwith standing.—New York Evening Pose. I IVUD knot dye in summer and leave the garden sass, the roasted lamb and buttermilk, the cool place on the grass.— I wud knot dye in summer, when every thing is hot, and leave the whisky jew lips ; owe know. I'd:: rather knott.—Josh Home Courtesies, A writer ii► Harper's &tzar makes sonic excellent remarks concerning cour tesies at home. Mew.e listen, good people of the home eireie: "The placing of the arm chair in a warm place for mamma, running for a foot stool for aunty, hunting up papa's specta cles, and seres of little loving deeds, show unsuppressed and loving hearts. Bat if mamma never returns a smiling 'Thank you, dear,' if papa's 'Just what I was want ing, Susie,' does not indicate that the little attention is appreciated, the children soon drop the habit. Little people are imita tive creatures, and quickly catch the spirit surrounding them. So, if when the moth er's spool of cotton rolls from her lap, the father stoops to pick it up. bright eyes will BCC the act, and quick minds make a note of it. By example, a thousand times more quickly than by precept. children can be taught to speak kindly to each other, to acknowledge favors, to be gentle and un selfish, to be thoughtful and considerate of the comfort of the family. The boys. with inward pride of their father's courteous demeanor, will be chivalrous and helpful to their young sisters; the girls. imitating the mother, will be gentle and patient. even when big brothers are noisy and heed less. In the home where the true courtesy prevails, it seems to meet you on the very threshold. You feel the kindly welcome on entering. No rude eyes scan your dress. No angry voices are heard up stairs. No sullen children are sent from the room. A delightful atmosphere pervades the house —unmistakable, yet indescribable. Scrap- Books. The best paste for scrap-books is made of flour. Apply it with a soft brush to the back of the paper to be pasted in and pat down the scrap with a soft cloth. Roth sides of the leaf may be scrapped, and many successive pages filled at once, but care should be taken to remove all paste from each page when it is completed. and the book should be left wide open to dry. A well filled scrap book is a very pleasant companion of a rainy day, especially if taste and discretion have been exercised in its arrangement. Stories should be in a part of the book by themselves ; the same may be said of poetry. and of wit If all the newspapers usually torn and burned for kindling were carefully scissored there might be in every family a book of wit and wisdom, of information, and en tertainment second to none in the family library, always excepting the Bible. It is well to accumulate quite a store of scrape before beginning the book and employ some rainy day of leisure in arranging them properly and fastening them in plum Picture-books for children, far superior, in point of variety and intere.st. to any in the shops, may be made by saving up pictures and pasting them into some volume not of intrinsic merit—an old ce•sus book with good binding answers the purpose At intervals through the book a half dozen leaves should he cut off smoothly, leaving a half inch margin, to make room for the scrappings and keep the book in good order. Drinking for the Effects. He said didn't care anything about liquor, only the effects. He never liked the taste of it ; made him "gag" to drink it; and he made an awful face as he took it down. But it was the effect he was at ter. It' it wasti:t for the effects be would never drink a drop of liquor in his life. He was a nice young man when we first heard him say that. He had health. gnod looks, property and a respectable position in society. The only perceptible effeetaof his potations then were the heightened color in his cheek, increased brilliancy of the eyes and vivacity in conversation. He was generous and liberal with his mon ey, too, and bad a "host of friends." Weil, he kept on drinking for the effects and he got them, as every man will who keeps at it long enough. The last time we saw him ho was that pitiful object, a human wreck. He was standing at a bar pleading for a drink on time, his trembling fingers being unable to find even a solitary nickel in the pockets of his ragged apparel. He bad kept on gagging over his whisky and drink ing for the effects until he hadn't any ef fects left, except those painfully apparent ones, poverty, disease, privation and van ished respectability. Verily, he got the effects. The Old Red Cent. As the old •red cent." has now pared out of use, and except rarely, out of sight, like the •old oaken bucket," its history is a matter of sufficient interest for preserva tion. The cent was first proposed by Robert Morris, the great financier of the revolu tion, and was named by Jefferson two years after. It began to make its appearance from the mint in 1792. It bore the head of Washington on one side, and thirteen links on the other. The French revolts- Lion soon created a rage for French ideas in America, which put on the cent, in stead or the head of Washington, the head of the goddess of liberty—a French liber ty, with neck thrust forward and flowing locks. The chain on the reverse side was displaced by the olive wreath of peace, but the French liberty was short-lived, and so was her portrait on our cent. The nett head or figure that succeeded this—the staid, classic dame with a fillet around her hair—came into fashion about thirty or forty years ago, and her finely-chiselled Grecian features bare been but slightly altered by the lapse of time.

The mantle of charity ought to be thrown around the faults of our 'diem-beings "Thy sins be forgiven thee" should be the answer for us to give to those who have sinned against us and wish to be taken back to our bosoms and be as they once were, pure and sinless. Forgive and forget; memory will not let us forget, but it is in the power of exalted human benevolence. Saddenning scenes will ofteu press these selves upon our attention, even when we do the best to prevent them. So scenes of harmony between ourselves and our hu man relations will arise in the soul, not withstanding the presence and influence of that principle of christian charity which should inspire every human soul with its divine effulgence. Yet memory, however faithful to her trust will not prevent ns from being lenient towards the faults and follies of others and to forgive their de parture from a true life.
