HE IS A FBEEMAS
EBENSBURG,
MI BROTHER JIM.
My brother Jim, my brother .lira,
Hotv well do I remember him I
He was iny senior by two rears.
And I his junior nearly ten ;
At least It so to me appears.
So much inferior I was then,
I lovctl him then bccniice he was
The only boy that I could sauce.
Or boldly quarrel with, without
The fear of getting soundly licked
Sometimes I wotihl, without a doubt,
Uo mnch too far and then get kicked.
Whenever I got In a hiss
With some boy ready for a "muss"
Who was almost my very size,
I'd always call for brother Jim;
He'd take the job from off my liands,
And very good it was in him.
How very proud was I, and. bold, ,
To stand in safety off, and hold -.
(Behind soma very handy tree
To keep the stin out of my eyes),
His coat and hat, and gladly sec
That boy get politdied in a tricol
Indeed, such was my modesty,.
That I would much prefer that ho .. ..
Should win the honor and renown
Of every light I had on baud
Than do't myself; the loss, I own,-
Was something that 1 well could stand 1
And he, I'm very prniul to note,
My must original essays wrote
lJ;d my hard kuuis in algebra -
Translated all my I-atiu dim,
And did my work while I would play:
Oh, how I loved my brother Jiuil
I used to let him saw the wood -Jtift
like a kindly brother should;
Permitted him to bear it in;
Allowed him all the fires to make;
I'd let him keep the garden clean.
I'd do most Anything for his sake,
I never growled because lie did
T.ic work, to do which I was bid; ''
I shared with all I had to share V
Divided all my chores Avith him; ,
I helped him eat his oranges
I was so good to brother Jim.
I nscd to let him take my place
In staying home of nights, and days
In which there was no school to bother;
I shared his joys and cakes with him
There's nothing like a bigger brother,
If you liad one like brother Jim I -
R ED.H0MI JTZU EUA I.I).
Althonch my fatlii-r was a oMier, in the
military bt jifution of the term, f don't
tliink there over 'was another man in this
world so lmdly cut out for the army.
Not that he was hy any mnins a coward,
or ";ivcii to turn the lc.'t cheek when -mitten
on tlie right; hut m alcrs was he to the
sheddinr of liuinan Mood, or to tl:e cntailiii";
of misery on others, that very little wa
espected of him when his reiriment wtis
ordered for duty to the County Wexford, on
the breaking out of the IiLsIi re!l!iun,
in I79H.
A if Fate would favor him, the company
to which he le!otit;ed was not engaged once
throughout the whole of that memorable
-triigt;Ci although often jilai eJ in p-isitions
oT erc-at danger, a:id tho wiinevs of .scenes
of the most hear Ireit'linsr ehamcter.
I5.it now tliat his h5maniiy w.-n so fre
tiuciitly and foreiMy arah:d to hy those
who were supeeted of disloyalty, or found
in ojvn ar:us, his iMimni emiinti and friend
ly offiees were such a rej.roaeh to some of the
non-commissioned oflir-rs, that he might
not hac escaped the elinrge of treason, had
lie not lieen i;i some way related to the col
onel of the regiment.
It was, Iielieve. in Knn?--corthy that his
company was quartered sl ortl' before tlie
battle of Vinegtir llill, at.d as billets were
tlie order of tlie day. he and two others
were assigned to n handsome white cottage
on the verge if tlie town, Iwlonging to a re
spectable tlumgh suspected Catholic family
named O'Drien, aud consisting of a Mill
hale and healthy cotijilc with their only
child, Mary, a hcautiful girl of nineteen or
twenty.
Of course sueh guests were far from wel
come to the inmates; but as my father's
name and kind arts had somehow already
reached their earP, when once satisfied of his
identity they l:gan to bless their stars that
matters were no worse. Mary, in particu
lar, seemed greatly relieved on this, head ;
and having learned accidentally that his
"market was made" that is, that he was
married sh.e liegan to show less reserve
toward him than she evinced toward his two
companions, who wero something less lib
eral and humane than he was.
It is not to he supposed that a lovely and
well-educated girl like Mary 015rien Could
have arrived at tlie nc of maturity, or,
rattier, approached the threshold of woman
hood, without having more than one ad
mirer. Consequently, it was by no means sur
prising that young Redmond Fitzgerald, who
had recently come to reside near the town,
and Mr. Henry Armstrong of the Hill, as
he wa.s called, should both have fallen in
love with her; although the two rivals had
never met, notwithstanding that Redmond
had seen Henry while Henry wa utterly
unacquainted with Redmond's appearance.
It wan, however, thought strange that Hen
ry, who was a Protestant, should unite him
self to a Catholic. But, then, Armstrong
was far from being in love with Mary, and
onby deircd a union with her so as to obtain
the snug few acres that should fall to her
rs an only child, and that lay quite conven
ient to his own small property, that he had
so involved with his riotous and extravagant
living, as to have permitted it to slip out
pf bis grasp, hi claim to it being .now
merely nominal. '
But Mary was too thoroughly aware of
his hcartlcssness andgeneral character to
cntcrtajn. any ideaof linking her. fate,, to
'WHOM THE TRUTH MAKK8 FRKE, AKD ALI.
PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1874.
his ; while, io inane sucii more impassible
still, she had already given her heart unre-
servcdly to young Fitzgerald, who was the
noblest and handsomest fellow imaginable,
but who. now that the rebellion was under
way, had cast his lot with the insurgent-,
and had so distinguished himself in their
ranks as to become a leader among them.
It was well known that Mary and he
loved each other mast passionately ; and of
this faet Armstrong now determined to takft
advantage ; for ho was certain that Redmond
would contrive varioas opportunities of see
ing Mary, and if necessary visit the cottage
after nightfall, at the risk of Lis life, when
within any reasonable distance of the being
he so ardently worshipped.
Although not discarded in absolute words
by Mary, he felt that he was no welcome
visitor at her residence ; but yet he kept up
the semblance of a kindly feeling toward
the old people ; and as they were Catholics,
and under a ban, they felt they could not
afTord to excite his animosity to any great
extent; and the more so, as he had long
been all-powerful with some of the magis
trates of the county.
Mary, also, since her lover had taken up
arms against the king's troops, had, out of
lolicy, ami with a view to the interests of
Redmond, behaved with more civility of
late, little dreaming that now his only ob
ject and aim was to secretly betray his suc
cessful rival into the hands of the authori
ties, Trom whom, he well knew, he should
receive hut a short shrift.
.Every evening, consequently, he was to
be seen at the garden gate, discoursing with
the father of the poor, frightened girl, or
seated within the house in the hope of
gleaning some information as to the where
abouts of Fitzgerald, irusiing to accident,
or an unguarded word, to enlighten him on
that point.
From the frt moment that my father
go' a glimpse of this, ticacl.crous scoundrel,
and liegan to see which way the land lay,
he was determined to Jrep his eye on him,
and, if he bugan to play any foul tricks, to
checkmate him if pisil.le.
Iu furtherance of this design, he became
acquainted with the unwelcome visitor,
who, perceiving him in the liv.-ry of (Jeorge
III., thought that all was right, and at once,
and with tut the slightest suspicion, in
formed him that he had sure and certain
intelligence that the rebel Redmond Fitz
gerald had more than once visited the cot
tage at night, and that now, as doubtless
he was informed of the presence of soldiers
in it, he would not approach it, but mi-ht
!e surprised at some point convenient to it,
if Mary were closely watched, as he was
satislied he would risk his neck at any mo
ment to gain an interview with her.
My father appeared to be greatly elated
with this information,- and to enter with
gust i into the spiut of his informant, as
suring l,im, at the same time, that heshould
not htse sight of Mary, hut strongly coun
seling him to the strictest secrecy, and ex
tracting from him a promise that lie would
not broach the subject to any other soul
living, and, with a view to giving Mary
fuller opportunity to meet her lover, visit
tl.c eotttigc less frequently after sunset.
This decided upon, Armstrong, firm in
the nssurauce that he had laid a deep and
effective trap for his rival, and hoping that
if he fell into the hands of the authorities,
he might yet Ik? able to vanquish the repug
nance of Mary, and make her his wife, he
left my father, after his first confidence
with him, iu the very best of spirits, and
the mote so as in any action that might be
taken in the case of Fitzgerald he had deter
mined to keep altogether in the dark, so
tliat he might not, on that score, evoke any
additiontd animoMty against him on the
art of tlie fair young girl or that of her
parents.
Now, this was all very well, and would,
doubtless, have led to something serious,
had not my father the least little drop of
the Irish party stowed away in one corner
of his heart, and hail he not told Mary, for
whom he began, to entertain a sterling
friendship, every sentence that passed be
tween him and Armstrong.
The sweet young girl became flushed and
pale by turns, and trembled violently as the
disclosure was being made to her, and, in a
transport of gratitude, grasped my father's
hand and kissed it with tears, when he had
closed his narration.
Nor was this all ; for, on my father's as
suring her that she was free to go and see
her lover when she pleased, without the
slightest surveillance on his part, and that
if he knew where he could lay his hand on
him, he would rather assist him to avoid
the clutches of the law than attempt to be
tray him into them, she took him aside and
confessed that she was in the habit of meet
ing him almost every evening, and that
while she spoke he was secreted in a glen
pearcc half a mile from the cottage, from
which he intended to move, now that the
soldiers were stationed so pear it.
Of course, Mary would never have made
a confession so dangerous had she not been
well aware of my lather's leanings, and the
proverbial goodness that influenced all his
acts relating to the insurgents, lint still,
notvvitlistanding the fa.-t of her new friend's
truth and fidelity, there was imminent peril
in the position Redmond was placed in ; for
the glen was a perfect wilderness of straw
berries, and was consequently a very general
resort for the children of the town, as well
as for the soldiers themselves.
In this way matters stood when Arm
strong made his way one evening to the cot-
tn"e, and; with a gleam of triumph in his
eye, drew my father,' who was in tlie gar
den, away from the house, intimating at
ARB SLAVES BESIDE
the time, in a low voice, that he had some
thing of great impoitancc to communicate
to him.
When they were alone and sufficiently out
of earshot, he exclaimed, as he clapped my
father on the shoulder :
"I have him! I have him! Not an
hour ago 1 received information that lie and
one or two of his comrades are secreted in a
small cavern in the glen, so covered with
briers and foliage that one might pass it a
thousand times without noticing it. But
there he is ; and it is only for you to get
men enough or your company to surround
the cave to-night, after dark, and render his
escape impossible. I don't know him. my
seir, or I'd go with you and point him out,
but, of course, you don't need my assist
ance ; although, if you desire it, I'll lead
you into the very path to the cave, for it
was pointed out to me on my way here;
and now that I remember, I did hear, two
or three years ago, of a cavern, or something
of the sort, leing in the glen, but juiid no
attention to the matter until it was brought
under my notice just now, as I have told
you."
My father was all attention, you may Ixj
sure, and promised to aid in the capture of
the rebel leader, as the only magistrate of
the town was absent at the moment, and as
the soldiers had it pretty much their own
way.
Besides, ns I have already said, Arm
strong wished to have the capture effected
without his name Iieing brought into the
affair, else he would huve gone personally
to the captain of the company, as about
eighty men were stationed in and about tho
place.
It was Saturday evening, and when my
father saw Armstrong on his way into the
town, from which he was to return about
ten o'clock and meet my father and the
party at the mouth of the glen, he instantly
sought out Mary, and, dropping a word or
two in her ear, sat down outside the door.
Five minutes afterward, the fair young girl
was seen carelessly strolling out of the gnr-Jen-gate
with a little basket in her hands,
as if she had determined to gather a few
strnwlierries among the fields that stretched
away from the town in every direction.
It was yet quite light when she returned,
and, approaching my father, who was on
the lookout for her, she gave him a look of
trratitnde that brought tears to his eyes,
lie sympathized with her, and the more sj
as my mother's brother who was a Catholic,
and whom he loved dearly, was reported to
have joined the insurgents, on their first
outbreak, under an assumed name, and who
might one day lie in as sore straits as Red
mond Fitzgerald.
This young patriot, Edward Kennedy,
know ing the. position of my father, who had
not seen him or heard from him for three
years, was most considerate, in not carelessly
compromising his sister's husband, or the
Protestant side of the family, by attempting
to visit them 'or corresponding with them.
And it was by mere accident that they heard
he had changed his name, but for what
other they had not learned. They were,
however, grateful that he bad lieen so care
ful of his standing, and thought the more
of him in consequence, were that possible,
for he was already a great favorite with
them.
For the purpose of making matters appear
all straight, a sergeant's' guard, which was
considered sufficient, was told off to visit the
glen just one hour after the time appointed
by Armstrong to meet iny father and the
men at the point decided upon; and theso
arriving at the time in question, were led
forward, under the guidance of a little
urchin who purported to know all about the
path aud the cave, and who singularly
cnougn appeared to be conims' out ol me
town by accident, at the very moment the
men were leaving, and wlio managed to
keep along with them until they came to the
place where Armstrong was to have been
waiting, but where no one was now to ba
seen. At tins juncture tne w-iasinoneu
little fellow relieved him of all difficulty by
leading them to the opening of the cave,
where their attention was attracted by an
occasional cry for help. Now one of the
men, through the means of his tinder-box,
lighted a candle and entered the cavern with
the rest.
Here they discovered but one individual
only, and he was Mr. Henry Armstrong,
stripped naked to the waist, and bound to a
stake, with the blood trickling from his
back, after having received what were sup
posed to be a couple of dozen lashes of the 1
severest descript ion.
In no. other way had he suffered, how
ever; and as his life was spared, he liegged
that he might be unbound and conducted
safely to his dwelling, without any attempt,
at the moment, to pursue the aggressors,
who had, he avowed, accidentally met hiinat
the mouth of the glen, and, recognizing
him, pounced upon him, and, stifling his
cries for help, hurried him off to the cavern,
where they inflicted this punishment upon
him, and left him bound, subseqnently
quitting the place to the number of three or
four.
The bird, or birds, had flown, then ; and
the party returned to town with Armstrong,
accompanied by the other two soldiers who
were billetted on the O'Briens, leaving my
father to find his way alone to the cottage,
where Mary and the family were sitting up
waiting for him. . -
Seeing that he was not accompanied by
anybody, poor . Mary, free from restraint,
rushed over to where he had seated himself,
while laughing heartily, and burst into a
flood of grateful tears. On learning, how
evcr. that there was no fear of his coiiiraJes
: . l
returning until morning, and that Arm
Ftrong would not be apt to move about
much for a day or two, she disappeared sud
denly from his presence, and in altout ten
minutes returned, but not alone, for close
tiehind her followed a second party, a dash
ing young fellow, who strode into the apart
ment w dth a smile upou his handsome though
excited countenance.
"Here is your benefactor your savior,
Redmond!' said Mary, taking him by the
hand for the purpose of leading him over to
where my father was seated. But liefore
the words were well ol ..f l,o b
men were in each other's arms, for Redmond
- r.""' w"
Fitzgerald was neither more nor less than
my uncle, Edward Kennedy, his own wife's
brother !
A Chinese Gladiator In the JTtrcct.
A Chinese fish peddler wis traveling hia
round in San Francisco, anticipating nothing
more than the customary pelting with stones
from the sportive urchins of that vicinity,
when some jocular person, just emerged
from a corner grocery, brimful of glee,
thought to vary the monotony of the every
day diversions by setting a vicious bull-dog
upon the Mongol. The brute readily took
its prey, and the first intimation that the
Chinaman bail of an attack was the closing
of a pair of savage jaws upon one of his
wrists. A rattling combat ensued, and for
a moment it was doubtful which would gnin
the mastery, until presently the blade of an
18-inch kuife gleamed for an instant, and
then wits buried in the body of the dog,
producing a breach that permitted the ca
nine vitality to subside as with a breath. At
the very moment of this sanguinary work
another huge brute, of tho Newfoundland
breed, came dashing up, and made a spring
at the Chinaman's throat. The gladiator
stood ready for the attack, and caught the
second foe hy the throat: In a moment
more the Newfoundland had received his
death wound. The victorious Chinaman,
reeking with blood, and panting with the
exertion of mortal couilr.it, then shouldered
his lmskets and shambled away, without so
liciting any more patronage in that neigh
Whood. To the credit of the spectators !c
it said, that, after vanquishing the dogs, he
was granted the boon of life, and departed
without molestation.
The vTrong Shoes.
A Nashville paper gives the following
sample of social amenities in that section :
"A Nashville youth nskcl sweetness to
go out to some entertainment with him last
week, but she declined, on the ground tliat
her shoes were nit of repair, whereupon
the young man offered to have them mended
if site would send them around next day.
A lady friend who overheard the conversa
tion, secured a well-worn pair of brogans
belonging to her colored c o.k, and had them
conveyed to the enamored young man early
the next morning. The latter wa.s astounded,
as he had been under the implosion that
his Uulcinea w as the possessor of the neatest
foot in Nashville (or a pair of them, for that
matter), but bravely concealing his feelings
of disappointment, he took them to the
nearest shoemaker, and left fhcui, with the
request that they be mended at once. After
the shoes had !een repaired, the young fel
low escorted them to the home of the dear
one of his heart, expecting to lie overwhelm
ed with thanks. On the contrary, hail an
hour of glib talking, on his part, was re
quired in order to convince the j-oung lady
that he had no intention of insulting her."
The t-pauisb Style.
It is related that two girls in the Royal
tobacco factory, at Madrid, recently killed
each other in a hand-to-hand contest. The
mode adopted by the combatants was as ro
mantic as it was barbarous. The antng -nists,
who were both alxtut twenty years
old, and remarkably handsome, repaired,
one Sunday morning, accompanied by cer
tain of their comrades, to a village some
four or five miles distant, where they break
fasted sumptuously at different taMes. Tho
repast ended, they closed tlie window cur
tains, stripjcd themselves to the waist, and
requested their friends to leave the room ;
then at a given signal, they attacked each
other with their navajas, and slashed and
thrust, until both fell to the floor mortally
wounded. When a few minutes had elapsed,
their friends re-entered the room. E-tefania,
one of the combatants, had received ten
wounds, from which she bled to death iu
aWut half an hour. Casilda, her antago
nist, died somewhat .sooner from a ghastly
wound in the neck.
A Uood' Action.
A good action is not distinguished from a
bad action by marks so plain as those w hich
distinguish a hexagon from a square.
There it a frontier where virtue and vice
fade into each other. Who has ever been
able to define the exact boundary ltvvecn
courage and rashness, between prudence
and cowardice, lutween frugality and ava
rice, between lilierality and prodigality?
Who has ever Iwen able to say how far
mercy to offenders ought to be carried, and
where it ceases to deserve the name of mercy
and becomes a jternicious weakness? What
casuist, what law-giver, has ever been able
nicely to mark the limits of the right of
self-defence? All our jurists hold that a
certain quantity of risk to life or limb justi
fies a man in shooting or stabbing an assail
ant, but they have long given up in desjmir
the attempt to describe, iu precise words,
that quantity of risk.

A Curious Electrical Phenomenon.
During the past few nights th ontrinee:-
and machinist of the round-house !' tl.e
Virginia and Truckec Railway Company, in
this citr, says the Virginia (Nov.) '.' r
prtsr, have ln-cti in a state of lively .-.. ite
iiient about sotnc strange electrical Ji-ti.i!-nnees
whicb have occurred there every rti.l t.
For three nights nil hands have lnv: :i-
I gflgt-d in trying to solve the mys.ciy, b it
have only partially succeeded. The compa
ny erected a large smoke-stack, which 1 i-es
... . l lii : tt ., ,
i l" u "t-igni aoove ti.cr.tuml-
house. At the base this
smoke-rTa ic is
spread in the shape of a funnel. It was
built iu order tint the l.omiotives in-iy
stand under it to cool off wlicn they cotue
in off the ncid, and also while Wing fired up
in tlie morning. Into the side of this smoke
Stack, three or four days ago, was run a
stovepipe from a stove standing in a room
'about forty feet distant. It is about this
stove that the i l -ctriesil distu r'cinccs inva
riably take plate. The Erst that was ob
served of these was about ikven uVI.uk,
four nights sin.v, when J I'ippingfja ii, a
well-known machinist, approached the stove
fur the purpose of putting a stick of Wood
into it. As the stick neared the stove !.e
received such a slock that it fell fr. im i is
hand, and his arm was benuuilcd. Heat
first thought he had taken a sudden cramp
in his arm. In trying again to put the w,i 1
into the stove he received a second sh. k .
This time he perceived a flash aud heard a
sharp snap, which he at once recognized as
a discharge of electricity. They tried nil
manner of experiments, and found that ihc
stove was fully and heavily charged with
electricity, it giving out sparks and flashes
when a piece of iron, steel, wood, or the.
naked hand approached it. After an hour
or two the phenomenon ceased. l'J)e next
day nothing w as seen of it ; but the iu xt
night, about eleven o'cWk, shortly after ii
locomotive came in aud stopjcd under the
funnel of the smoke-stack, the stove w.is
again charged, and Ix-gtui snapping and
cracking, sending out sjaik.s aud flashes nj
all sides. So it has been every night since.
They now know that the heated locomotives
cause this electrical display, but in just
w hat way is that w hich is puzzling them.
Esquimaux Wife Catching.
The marriage ceremony of the Esquimaux
is performed euiiouly. When a ly kiils
a liear.it is considered sufficient proof of
his ability to lu.iinfciiu a family ; he is there
fore told to go and catch a wile. Watchin g
his opportunity at night, he pounces on a
victim and attempts to carry her off. Mie
however struggles and shrieks until she has
collected around hern group of sympathizers.
Site then turns upon her captor, and bites
and scratches until he is compelled to release
her, then she dart- int j the crowd and at
tempts to escipc. The expectant bride
groom follows her, but not unmolested. All
the old women take scourges of dried seal
skin and flagellate him unmercifully as he
passes, making at the same time every effort
to arrest him in his course. If despite these
little imitediiuents to matrimonial bliss, he
should catch his victim, the biting and
scratching scene is renewed, and in all pro
liability he is compelled to release her, and
the chase with its attendant discomforts is
resumed. Shculd he overcome all obstacles,
the third capture proves effectual, and tho
victim, ceasing her struggles, is led away
amid the nee,'. una ti.nis and rejoicings cd the
assembled muiti:udo.
How to Pull Teeth.
A peculiar dental operation has just come
under our oliscrvation. A certain citizen
had an upitcr tooth which was loo ail
troublesome, so he resolved to extract it by
lastcumg a string to it; but after a trial,
finding the operation painful, lie hadn't the
grit to grin and Itear it. He thought if tho
tooth Couid lie extracted by some sudden
mode, the pain would be but transient; und
alter mature dcli! ration he hit upon an
ingenious plan to jerk it out in a jiffy.
Procuring a h.-avv flat iron he tied it to the
other end of the cord attached to his t n-tli,
then shutting Ix.th eyes c h t the irun
"drop," which descended plumb centre ou
his jH-t corn. After hopping about the room,
wildly, on one foot, groaning for very im
guLsh of spirit and icviting choice passages
from niolane history, he fjnallv calmed
down sufficiently to hurl the flat iron owr
the fence, and swathe his sore toe iu cam
phor and cotton. But lie pulled the tooth,
and with it a piece of guiu the size of a
becLstcak. And the man lived.
Indianlzing Physicians.
Tht California Indians kill their medicine
men when th-y fail to cure a patient. This
is understood to be very effective treatnieut,
for no big medicine I. as a chance to kill
more than one. and for that pastime donates
his life to appease the anger of the (treat
Spirit. In this country, sickness is sueh a
fa-shionalde affair, that there is one physician
to every GIS inhabitants, not counting the
large assortment of grandmothers and aunts
who prescribe on any and every occasion.
Now, if, on a failure to cure, the failing
physician was lot out of tiiue into the Here
after, we should have fewer doctors (a good
thing!), and fewer deaths (perhaps a good
thing, too), and certainly fewer iitvalids
(decidedly a g.tod thing!) to croak and
grumble, groan and sigh, because something
does or does not ail them. It's Indianize
our living uiclic.il men, and cremate the
dead ones. It is Scriptural to heap Oials of
fire on their Ltiid-, ev u if tl.ey are dead
beforehand.
