A WAIL. FOR IRELAND.
BY DENIS FLORENCE M'CARTHY.
fThlrty-three yearn airo, when thousands ol men.
women and children perished for want o! food in
Ireland, the jilted poet. Iicnls Florence McCarthy,
pictured the awful occurrence in the followinit
poetn. How appropriately it applies at the pres
ent time.
They are dying: : they are dying ? where the golden
corn is arrowing; ;
They are dylni; ! they are dying ! where the crowd
ed herds arc lowing; ;
They are aasplng; for existence where the streams
ol life are flowing ;
And they perish of the plairue where the breeie of
health is Mowing.
Ood of justice '. fFod of power ;
Io we dream ? Can It be,
In this land, at this hour ;
AVith the blossom on the tree,
ln the gladsome month oi May,
When the young lambs play.
When Nature looks around
On her wakinir children now.
The seed within the ground.
The buds upon the bough?
Is it right, is it (air.
That we perish of despair
In this land, on this soil.
Where our destiny is set,
Where we cultured with our toll
And watered with our sweat 7
We have ploughed, we have sown.
But the crop was not our own ;
We have reaped, but harpy hands
Swept tho harvest from our lands !
We are perishing for lood,
Whonlo: in pitying mood.
Our kindly rulers gave
The fat lluld to the slave.
While our corn filled the manger
Ol the war-horse ol the stranger,
(rod ol mercy ! must this last !
Is this land pre-ordained.
For the present and the past
And the future to be chained
To be ravaged, to be drained.
To be robbed, to be spoiled.
To be hushed, to be whipped.
Its scaring pinions clipped.
And its every eflort toiled?
IV. our numbers multiply
But to perish and to die ?
Is this all our destiny below.
That our bodies when they rot.
May fertilize the spot
Where the harvests of the stranger srow?
If this be indeed our late.
Far, far. better now. though late.
1 That we seek some other land and try some other
zone :
i The coldest, bleakest shore
I Will surely yield us more
Than the ftorehoife of the stranger that we dare
i not call our own.
ltOUJHLY PARTED.
Tlie front tloor of a neat liutiif, of moderate-
pretensions, just outside of an Indiana
town, was liatily opened as niolit was cum
in: on, and a man was tlirust violently into
tlie street, or, rather, tlie road.
The man who was ejected was youim and
miplit have been handsome, had it not been
for the dissipated awpearatice of his features
and the untidiness of his dress. At the mo
ment he was evidently drunk.
The man who ejected him was an eldorly
oentleman, whose face was red with honest
indignation, which also showed itself in his
voice and his language.
Albert Wakely was a law yer of ability and
promise when he married John Ilyrd's
daughter, Mary, although he had already
contracted a fondness for strong drink. This
passion did not abate after his marriage, but
grew upon him, and at the birth of his boy
he had become no better than a loafer, shel
tering himself with his wife in the house of
his father-in-law, to whom his family looked
i for all the necessaries of life. John Byrd
was not the man to patiently endure liisson-in-law's
wortlilessness and iil-treatment of
: his wife, and at last, when W'akely came
crawling into the house, after a prolonged
absence and debauch, he opened the front ; Give me that boy, and I will give you a fine
door and expelled him forcibly. j ranch, well (stocked with everything you

ing to see his wife.
"She don't want to see you. She is no
longer your wife. Go otf, 1 say! Nobody
here cares what becomes of you."
The old man went back to the house, and
closed and locked the door, w hile the young
one stumbled up the road, his hat over his
eyes, and his faculties apparently dazed.
He thus wandered on, never looking up, nor
glancing to the right or left, stupid and pur
poseless, until he reached the bank of a
stream. Ignoring the bridge, he would have
walked into the water if he had not been
' seized Biid forcibly restrained by a man who

"What, Wnkely, is this you? W
hat are
vou doing? Where are vou going ?
"I don't know," was the sleepy reply.
"W here am I ?"
"You would now be in the water if I hail
not stopped you. You have been drinking,
Wakcly. Come, let me take you home."
At this word Wakoiy suddenly straighten
ed himself up, raised his hat and pushed the
hair from his eyes.
"Dome:" lie exclaimed. "I have nohome."
In response to the wondering questions of
the other, he related, more lucidly than might
have been expected, the story of his expul-
sion from John Byrd's house.
'That's nothing," said his friend. "C;une
to town with me, and straighten up, and it
will be all right in the morning."
"It wiil never be right, Mr. Henderson,"
1 replied Mr. Wakely. "This is the end of it.
' I have been driven out, and I will never set
my foot iii John Byrd's house again. This is
not all. I will never brink another drop of
liquor as long as 1 live, so help me God I" .
"Don't be rash. It is a good thing to quit, ;
but you w ill have to ease off, you know."
"Never ! I will never touch another drop
if I die for it. I mean to leave here, and to
lead a new life under a new name." I
"If you really mean that, I can put you in '
the way to make a man of yourself. I am i
going to Coloi ado to-morrow. Go with me,
and I will pay your way and help you to ,
make your own start in life."
"If you do that Mr. Henderson, you will
earn my life-long gratitude." j
When John Byrd re-entered liis house lie '
found his daughter Mary sobbing as if her j
heart would break. j
"What have you done, father?" sheasktd, j
"what have you done ?" j
"I have driven away that worthless vaga
bond," he replied, "and have ordered him
never to darken my doors again." I
"You might have given him another j
chance. He is my husband, and he is the j
father of my child." j
"He has had chance enough. He shall not ,
be your husband much longer. He shall tor- j
turc you no more. I will cet a divorce for !
TOU.
"I want no divorce," sobbed Mary.
"You don't know wViat you want. Tou
need a divorce and you shall have it. I have
taken the matter into my own hands. Mr.
lYorsham, the banker, is ready and anxious
to marry you."
Six years have passed since Albert Wake
ly was summarily ejected from the house of
his father-in-law.
At the mouth of a canyon in Southern Col
orado, where the tortured torrent that passed
through the cleft in the mountains becomes a
placid stream as it debouches on abroad and
fertile valley, a single prairie schooner has
stopped, and its driver, a rude, red-shirted
tellow, is seen ln conversation with an old
man, who is evidently expostulating with
him in vain.
"It's uo use," said the driver, at last, '"it's
gone as fur as your money will justify, and
f urder, and here I mean to quit. If you ever
expect to stop anywhar, this is as good a
place as you will find. If you want either
work or help, Gineral Chance is likely to
give it to you."
"Does he own this valley?" asked the old
man.
"lie owns ever so many acres of land, the
.San Benito silver mines, and more bosses and
cattle, and sheep, than you kin count. But
here comes one of Ids ranchmen, and I will
turn you over to him." I
The driver explaiped the circumstances of
his "freight" to the ranchman, who requested
the old man to accompany him to"the house,"
and the latter patiently complied with the
request, leading by the hand a bright little
boy.
They soun reached the bouse, a low and
straggling collection of buildings, and were
ushered into the presence of its owner, a tall
and fine-'ooking man, with his face covered
by a heavy beard, who was seated in a raw
bide chair, reading a newspaper, and smok
ing a long pipe. lie listened in silence, and
with apparent indifference, to the story the
ranchman told him.
"What is your name ?" he aked, address
ing tiie old man.
"John Byrd, sir."
I "Where are you from?"
i "From , Indiana.'
i "Ah : Any family with you ?"
I "My daughter, Mrs. Worsha.n, and her
j child."
"Widow, I suppose, (ii ass or natural ?"
"Her husband is dead, sir," patiently re
I plied Byrd, although lie relented the tune of
i these inquiries,
j "Fir.-t husband or second V"
"Mr. Woisham was her second husband.
She had been married to a drunken, worth
j less vagabond, whom I was compelled to
I drive away."
"Quite right, Mr. Byrd exactly right.
What became ot the vagabond
"I don't know."
"Died, I suppose. It is of no consequence
what became of him. Then a divorce fol
lowed." Yes, sir, I insisted upon a divorce, against
my daughter's wish, and she married Mr. 1
Woraham, a banker. Bad luck fastened
upon us and never let go. Mr. Worsham !
died insolvent, and one reverse after another ;
swept away my little property, and I was I
forced to come out here and begin life over !
again. It's a hard task, sir, for an old nn'.n."
"I should say so. You ought to have re-
mained among your friends. What boy is
that ?"
"My grandson," faintly replied Byrd, who
was w eary of this style of questioning.
"Son of the. vagabond or the banker '."'
"Albert is the son of my daughter's fust
husband."
"I have taken a fancy to him. You want
a home, and I will tell you what I will do.
She ought to be willing to accept a comfort
able home for life, when she knows that the
boy w ill lie well provided for."
"I will bring her here, if you wish."
"No ; 1 don't want to see any women folks;
ask her and bring iiie word,"
"I will ask her," replied the old man; "but
I know well what her answer will be."
John Byrd soon returned, and informed
General Chance that Mrs. Worshnni had re
fused to accept his offer, declaring that she
would rather die than be parted from iier
boy.
"Very well," said that gentleman. "That
i is all 1 have to say to you. You may go
along."
John Byrd sadly left the house, and its
owner signed to the ranchman to remain.
"Mr. Whipps," said he, "I wish you
would follow that old man. Take him and
his family down to Hiller's ranch, which is
! now vacant and settle them ihere. Supply
them with stock, provisions, and everything
' they need to make them comfortable, and let
me know it money is needed. Don't be
j stingy Whipps, but do it up brown."
So John Byrd and his little family, greatly
, to their surprise, were settled and more than
I comfortable. There was nothing to trouble
j them but the uncertainty of their tenure, and
1 the fear that a new direction might be taken
by the peculiar disposition of their strange
benefactor, who would not allow Mrs. Wor-
sham to come near the house, saying that he
did not want to see any women folks. He
only endured her father, but was very kind
to the boy, whom he presented with a fine
pony and a saddle. For his part he seemed
determined not to show his face at the Hitler
ranch.
Providence, however, was disposed to set
aMde this determination. As he was return-
ing one day from a distant stock farm, his
horse shied and threw him near the Hi'.ler
ranch, dragging him for some distance by the
stirrup. He was carried into Mr. Byrd's
house, where it was discovered that his face
and head were so badly cut" and bruised that
it would be necessary to remove his hair and
beard.
When this operation had been performed,
Mrs. Wor-iham came into the room for the
purpose of helping to dress ids hurls, and
fairly shrieked as she saw him.
"Albert Wakelv!" she exclaimed, "is it
really you?"
"Yes, Mary, it is I," quietly replied Gen-
eral Chance. "If you are going to do any-
thing for me, please do it without a fuss."
Mary Worsham took care of him, and he
encouraged her attendance. When he was
stronger he spoke to her more freely.
"Mary, did you really object to a divorce
and to your second marriage ?"
Yes, Albert ; I never loved any man nut
I t".:c atlier my child, in epito of hi-' gu;vt
fault, and I objected to everything that cou'.d
injure you. But you ought not to blame
father. He meant to act for the best."
"I don't blame him. It was for the best.
It made a man of me ; and I am, as I ought
to be, deeply grateful to him. Mary, that is
a fine boy of ours."
Within a month there was a wedding on
the San Benito estate, which was made such
an occasion of rejoicing as to be long remem
bered in that region. The contracting par
ties were Walter Chance, as he was still de
termined to be known, and Mary, widow of
Abram Worsham.
OLD IA.
Farmer Henderson came in from the barn
one morning with hands and clothes wet and
covered with mud, his face red and his eyes
flashing.
"Xed !" he shouted, as he entered the
kitchen, "Where's Ned ?"
"Here I am !" came a cheery voice in re
ply ; and an instant after a bright, strong
boy of some sixteen years entered the old
fashioned country kitchen from the adjoining
woodshed, where he had been cutting pota
toes for the day's planting. "Do vou want
anything ?"
"I want to tell you this," said Mr. Hen
derson, as he washed himself at the sink, and
rubbed his weather-beaten face with the
coarse towel until it was even more red than
before. "Old Dan must be kil ed! Just
see the state I am in, and all from that
worthless old rascal ! I won't have him
about the house another day. He's good
for nothing but to make trouble, and he must
be shot before night !" added the farmer,
wrathfully.
Ned was about to plead for his pet, when
his little sister came into th e room.
"Why, papa, what is the matter?" she
cried, running to him in astonishment. "Did
you fall into the creek ?"
"I might as well," he replied, half laugh
ing. "Old Dan butted me into the watering
trough."
There v as a shout of lauwhter from both
children, in which the mother joined.
"Well, Jedediah," said Mrs. Henderson,
comipg into the kitchen, and shaking with
mirth, "what could you have been thinking
about to let an old mm, most tw enty years
old, knock you into the watering trough."
"But," explained her husband, "he took
me unawares. I hid just filled one pail to
carry to the barn, and was stooping to dip
the other, when tlie old rascal came at me
like the w ind, and knocked me completely
into the water ! He scampered, I tell you,
before I could get out. He knew he had
done mischief. Any now, he's got to lie kill
ed to-day, sure. He's only a nuisance, and
I'll shoot him to-night, when we come back
from town, if he's on the farm !"
Two hours later Mr. and Mrs. Henderson
drove away to be absent from home until
night. As they rattled out of the yard Old
Dan suddenly appeared close to the gate,
and, wagging his tail as if in derision, gave
utterance to a hoarse "Bu-a-a I"
The farmer turned, shook his whip at the
old fellow, and cried, "This is your last day,
my boy, make the best of it."
Ned and Carrie were the only children.
Leaving Carrie in the house alone, after
they had consulted awhile whether there was
any way of evading Old Dan's sad fate, Ned
shouldered his hoe and marched off to his
work, planting potatoes with Bionson, the
hired man, in the "back lot."
P. ut the little girl of thirteen had 110
thought (f being afraid. She had the break
fast dishes to wash, some sweeping to do,
and the dinner to get, all before VJ o'clock.
Time tied. The dishes stood in shining
rows upon the pantry shelves, the broom had
performed its work, and Carrie was prepar
ing the vegetables to be boiled, when there'
came a faint knock at the door. Supposing
it to be one of ths neighbors, the little girl :
did not rise, but called :
"Come in !"
The door slowly opened, and a man step
peti within.
He wore a long black coat, buttoned to .
the chin, and very threadbare. His trousers,
too, were black and shiny, and much too
short for him. On one foot was a boot,
while the other was graced bv a Tagged shoe.
He carried a battered silk hat in his hand.
His face was long and solemn, but quite red, ;
his eyes bleared, his hands very dirty, and ':
altogether he was a'queer-looking visitor.
"Is jour ma at home, Miss?" said he, in
a half whine, as he glanced sharply about
the room. '
' No, sir," replied Carrie, wondering why
he asked ; "she has gone to Underbill. Did
you wish to see her?"
"Oh, no," the man replied. "I only ask
: ed (.ut of politeness, you know," and he
smiled solemnly at the little girl, and w inked
one eye. "No, I came on business, with
I your pa particular urgent business. S'pose
he's round, is he not '."
"No, sir, he went to town with my moth
l cr," said Carrie.
"Now, thp.t's too bad !" exclaimed the vis
itor, as lie seated himself ; "and I've come
I so far to see him. Hut perhaps your brother
, or sister would do as well?"
'T haven't any sister," said the little hos
' tess, laughing; "and my brother's over in
the back lot. He'll be in by and by, though,
, if he'll do."
"Well, 1 don't hardly believe he will, af-
ter all," said the man, shaking hi head
! thoughtfully, "and I can't wait to-day. nny
! way ; I hain't the time. But 1 am terribly
: hungry. If I could I'd stay to dinner, Miss.
; However, under the circumstances, perhaps
; vou had better give me a lisiht lunch bef.ue

"Oh, certainly, only I can't t,ive you the
meat, for we haven't it in the house," said
Carrie rising : "but I w iii find something."
And she brought from the pantry a whole
apple pie which she placed before him, with
a knife and fork.
If you will help yourself I'll have the
tea readv in three minutes,"
"All right, my dear," said the man, seizing
the knife and drawing the pie toward him,
"1 wil'. act upon advice. The last time 1
took dinner with General Grant," he con
tinued, as he cut a great piece and began to
eat, "he said to nie, Govcrnor, Governor,
said he, 'never disregard a lady's advice,"
and I have always remembered what he
said," and he chuckled merrily, and nodded
his head at the delicious-looking pastry be
fore him.
Carrie wondered a Utile at the table man
ners of the man who had dined with Grant,
but she steeped his tea, fid vol ed it with rich
cream and sugar and passed it to him.
"I am not much of a hand for tea." said
the man. as he drained the cup, "but my
UtClor savs that I must drink it f'u iivdipo--
tion. Ruined my digestion while I was in
the army, you see ;" and he winked solemn
ly. "By the by," he continued, picking up
the silver teaspoon from the saucer, "have
yon any more of these ? They are as neat a
pattern as I ever saw, and odd, too. I should
like to see tlie rest of the dozen, if you have
them."
"Mother has only eleven," said Carrie, in
her innocence, "and she is very proud of
them ; but I will show them to you."
Then she brought the little box with the
precious table silver eleven teaspoons, and
an ancient cream-jug all pure silver, and
shining brightly and placed thetn before
her inquisitive visitor to admire.
He finished his "light lunch." That is,
the pie was demolished and the teapot empty.
As the little girl handed him the treasures he
arose, took the box to the window, examined
its contents with a critical eye for a moment,
and then, as if in joyful surprise, cried : j
"lam right? They are the very spoons, j
The verv same identical spoons that mv
friend lost when he was a boy ! How lucky
it is that I have found them at last ?" 1
i
i With these words, and a very low bow, ,
j the rascal opened the door and slipped away !
with the si.oons and silver cream-Pitcher !
' down the path toward the gate.
i For an instant Carrie stood motionless ;
i then, rushing after him, she shrieked :
i "Give me those spons ! They are my
! mother's spoons, and you are trying to steal
them ! You are a thief ! Bring them back!
bring them back !"
' The man paid no attention to the child's
' cries, but ran rapidly down the path, carry
ing the box in his arms ; and the spoons and
j pitcher would have been lost forever if a new
! party had not appeared upon the scene,
i Old Dan was quietly nibbling the grass
! near the gateway. Hearing his little mis
tress's voice, he looked np at the very in
' stant that the tramp passed- What he saw-
about the man that disturbed him I don't
know ; but, erecting his head w itti a hoarse
"Ba-a-a :" lie shot after him like a cannon
I ball. ;
' The man turned toreceive him and defend ;
himself, but the ram struck him fairly in
front and knocked him half senseless flat on
, his back, scattering the silver in all direc-
; tions.
For an instant the fellow remained sprawl- .
ing in the dust, then he slowly arose, limp
ing and groaning, and without a glance at
; liis enemy, began to gather up his stolen
spoils.
He had partially completed his task when
Old Dan, who had all this tim? bcn watch
ing the proceedings from beneath his shaggy
eyebrows, shook his long beard, and with
another tiemendons "Ba-a-a '." dashed nt him
again, and ovei he went a second time, his
treasures fly ing from his hands.
And now began a strange battle with
cries of lage and pain, the man recovered
his feet and turned upon the ram, kicking
and striking at him furiously, while Dan, j
accustomed to such warfare from years of
experience with the boys of the countryside,
easily eluded him, and in return butted him
to earth again and again.
The spoons and cream pitcher were kinck
ed hither and thither, as the combatants
struggled, ami tlie road was trampled 'into
something like a raee-c. urse, and the air was
filled with very bad language, very angry
"baas" and a great cloud of dust.
But in some five minutes, victory declared
itself upon the side of the quadruped ; and
bruised ai:d bleeding, w ith clothes in rags,
minus hat and shoes, the vanquished man
suddenly turned away and ran limping (tow n
the road, leaving his antagonist in full pos
session of the field and the stolen silver.
Old Dan remained motionless, gazing af
ter his enemy until he disappeared around a
distant turn in the road, then, shaking the
dust from his coarse wool, lie gave utterance
to a low grumble of satisfaction, and, wag
ging his tail, returned to his dinner in front
of the house.
Half an hour later, as Carrie washed the
coveted spoons ami the bright little pitcher
and laid.thcm carefully away once more, she
toid her brother the story, and how the rob
ber was foiled ; and Ned, full of enthusiasm ,
cried :
"We wii! not kill ld Dan at all, for 1 do
not believe that father would shoot him now
for a hundred dollars !"
1 And the boy was right. The old ram won
; more than lie knew when he fought the
' tramp and conquered him. He won his mas
ter's legard, and a free, happy life for the
remainder of liis das.

A SITERN ATl'RAL FLAME.
The following strange story is told in pood
faith by the Clevv land leader of the expe
rience of a man named John Bush with a
flame seemingly of supernatural origin: Sev
eral months ago he moved from Amherst,
where he had lived for thirteen years, most
of that time being employed as a switchman
on the Lake Shore road. Five er six years
ago his house was destroyed by fire, the caiie
being, as he supposed, a defective flue. His
' first home in this city was at No. 1,177 Lin
! coin avenue, where on Sunday, the 1 t!i inst.,
the first remarkable appearanoe of flames
occurred. Some clothes, a coat. ve?t and
! dress which hung upon the wall, suddenly
I begsn to smoke, sending forth a jv-culiarly
sickening smell. This was followed in a
'moment by adaik blue blaze that leaped
' hungrily over the garment and aiuiost con
I sumed them before the fire w as extinguished
by the astonished Bush. His wife said that
matches in his pocket had ignited, but he
was positive there were no matches there
n t,ie Allowing day he went to work as

"!,"!"- Rnu wlH'n Be cani-' '" n't by
1,IS wife '10 as frantic with fear. During
,,H 1,s,'1"'t' fire had appeared seven dif-
fere nt times, lu the first instance the 1ki1
npon which one of the children lay s'eeping
took fire, reappearing twice after it had been
put out. Being of a superstitious natureshe
feared that some evil spirit hung over thein
and craved for the life of the youngest child
To appease the wrath of the unknown,
whatever it was, she went out in the fields
and cast to the winds all the money they had,
some $.. All but $K of this was afterward
found. The father decided to stay at home
the follow ing day and watch, calling a friend
to do the same.
By this time tiie mystery was being noised
about somewhat, and everybody that came in
decided that tlie children had Ik-cii playing
with matches. There seemed to be no other
explanation, but the youngsters stoutly de
nied this feature of the cfls... Id. .1. B. Mr
Gee, living near, was called in to make tho
examination. He thought at first that it was
an ignition of phosj o mis, but on hearlngthe
story in detail gave the solution up.
Bush remained at the house on Lincoln
avenue until Tuesday, wheu he made up hi
mi-id to q'lit tin- place rnd move to the house
on Lussendcn avenue, hnpinir thereby to
shake oT the mystery On Friday the fire
once more appea.vd. burning the straw in
one (f the beds. The straw in the bairel
that stood in the shed v.a also burned iu
the same manner on Saturday, together with
several coats that hung oti the wall.
The family nt this time had nearly become
crazy. Many of their household goods and
cloMies had been destroyed and some of the
neighbors filled with sympathy came in and
endeavored to console them and pacify their
fears as best they couhl.
On Sunday Mrs. Foland, a lady living on
, Giddiiigs avenue, dropped in to lend her aid
1 in that direction. She took off her hut and
laid it upon the table where il had no re
mained five minutes when a large feather
; upon it was trui.-hed by the strange fl.nue
and neiriy consumed. The reporter called
upon Mrs. Kohtiel herself, who fully corrob
orated this statement and exhibited the hat
as proof.
On Monday the f:ie appeared twice, each
time destroying some clothes. Ycsleiday
morning a child's dress that hung on a i'g
near the door, smoked, blazed in a minute or
two and f. ll to the floor. Thro.- singular
occurrences have bee'l witnessed by neigh
