VOL. XXI.
SHAMUS O'BRIEN,
Jist after the war, in the year '9B,
As soon as the boys were all scattered
and bate,
'Twas the custom, whenever a pesant
was got,
To bang him by tbrial—barl•in' sich as
•
were shot. '
.There was thrial by jury goin' on by
daylight,
And the martial law hangin' the lavins
by night.
It's them as was hard times for an hon
est gosseon ;
If he missed in the judges he'd meet
the dragoon;
An' whether the sojers or judges gev
sentence,
The divil, a much time they allowed
for repintanee.
An' it's many's the flue boy was then
on his keepin',
Wid small share of restin', or atin', or
sleepin',
An' because they loved Erin,,an' scorn
ed to sell it,
A prey for the bloodhound, a mark for
the bullet—
Unshell ered by night and unrested by
day,
ith the heath for their barracks, re
venge for their pay.
An' the bravest au' hardest boy iv
them all,
Was Shamus O'Brien, from the town
of Glingall;
His limbs were well sot, an' his body
was light,
An' the keen•fanged hound had not
teeth half so white;
But his face was as pale as the face of
the dead,
An' his cheek never warmed with the
blush of the rod.
An' for all that, ho wasn't an ugly
young bye,
For the divil himself couldn't blaze
with hie eye,
So droll an' so wicked, so dark and so
bright,
Like a fire flash that crosses the depth
of the night;
An' he was the best mower- that ever
has been,
An' tho illigantest hurler that ever
was seen;
An' his danein' was sich that the men
used to stare,
An' the womin turn crazy, he done it
so quaro;
An' by gorry ! the whole world gov
into him there.
An' it's he was the boy that was-hard
to be caught.,
An' it's often he run, an' it's often he
fought,
An' it's many the one can remember
right well
The quaro things ho done, an' it's oft
, I heard tell
How be lathered the yeomen, himself
agin four,
An' stretched the two strongest on old
Gatti more.
But the fox must sleep sometimes, the
wild deer must rest,
An' treachery prey on the blood iv the
best.
After many a brave action of power
and pride,
An' many a hard night on the moun
tain's bleak side,
An' a thousand great dangers and
toils overpast,
In the darkness of night he was taken
at last.
Now, Shamus, look back Ou the beau
tiful moon,
For the door of the prison must close
on you soon ;
An' take your last look at her dim
lovely light;
That falls on the mountain and valley
this night;
One look at the village, one look at the
flood,
An' one at the sheltering, far distant
wood,
Farewell to the forest, farewell to the
hill,
Au' farewell to the friends that will
think of you still;
Farewell to the pathern ; the burlin!
and wake,
An' farewell to the girl that would die
for your sake.
An' twelve sojers brought him to Ma
ryborougii
An' the turnkey resared him, refusin'
all bail.
The fleet limbs wor chained, an' the
shtrong hands were bound,
An' he laid down his length on the cold
prison ground •
The dhreams of his childhood came
over him there,
As gentle and soft as the swate sum-
mer
An' happy remembrance crowding on
ever
As fast as the foam flakes drift down
on the river,
Briugin' fresh to his heart merry days
long gone by,
Till the tears gathered heavy an' thick
in his eye;
But the tears didn't fall, for the pride
at his heart
Wouldn't suffer ono dhrop down his
pale cheek to start,
An' he sprang to his feet, in the dark
prison cave,
An' he swore with the fierceness that
misery gave,
By the hopes of the free and the cause
of -the brave,
That when he was mouldering in the
cold grave
His enemies never should have it to
•
boast;
Hie scorn of their vengeance one mos
ment was lost,
His bosom might bleed, but his cheek
should be dry,
For undaunted he'd lived, and undaun
ted he'd die.
As soon as a few weeks were over and
gone,
The terrible day iv trial kern on.
There was sigh a crowd there was
scarce room to stand,
An' sojers on guard, and dhragoons
sword in hand i •
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1866.
lAn' the court house so full that the
people were bothered ;
An' attorneys and criers on the - pint
of being smothered ;
An' counsellors almost goy over for
dead,
An' the jury sittin' up in their box
overhead,
An' the judge settled out so determin
ed and big, .
With his gown on his back, an' an
legant new wig.
An' silence was called, and the minute
it was said,
The court was as still as the heart of
the dead,
An' they heard but the opening of one
prison lock,
An' Shamus O'Brien kern into the dock.
For one minute he turned his: eye
round on the throng,
An' he looked at the bars, so firm and
so strong,
An' ho saw that be had no hope, nor a
friend;
A chance to escape, nor a word to de
fend;
An' he folded his arms as he stood
there alone,
As calm an' as cool as a statue of stone;
An' they read a big writin', a , yard
long at least,
An' Jim didn't understand it nor mind
it a taste;
An' the judge took a big pinch iv snuff
an' he says,
"Are you guilty or not, Jim O'Brien,
av you plaza ?"
An' all held their breath in the silence
of dhread,
An' Shamus O'Brien made answer an'
said :
"My lord, if ye ask me if, in my life
time,
I thought any treason, or did any
crime
That should call to my cheek, as I
stand alone here,
The hot blush of shame, or the cold.
ness of fear,
Though I stood by aid. grave to receive
my death blow,
Before God and the world, I would an
swer you no!
But if you would ask me, as I think
it like,
If in the rebellion I carried a pike,
Au' fought for old Ireland from the
first to the close,
An'• shed the heart's blood of her bit
terest foes ?
I answer• you yes; and I tell you agin,
Though I stand here to perish, it's my
glory that then
In her cause I was willing my veins
should run dhry,
An' that now for her sake I am ready
to, die."
Then the silence was great, an' the ju
ry smiled bright,
An' the judge wasn't sorry the job was
made light;
By my cowl, it's himself was the crab
bed .ould chap ;
In a twiuklin' he pulled on his ugly
black cap,
Then Shames' mother, in the crowd
- standin' by,
Called out to the judge, with a pitiful
cry,
"Oh,judge, darlin', don't !—oh ! don't
say the word !
The crathur is young—have mercy, my
lord !
He was foolish—he didn't know what
he was doin';
You don't know him, my lord ; oh !
don't give him to ruin !
He's the kindliest crathur, the tender
est hearted;
Don't part us forever, we that's so long
parted !
Judge, mavourneen, forgive him, for-.
give him, my lord,
An' God will forgive you—old! don't
say the word !"
That was the first minute that O'Brie&
was shaken,
When he saw he was not quite forgot
or forsaken;
An' down his pale cheeks, at the word
of Lis mother,
Thc; big tears were running fast, one
afther t'other,
An' two or three times he endeavored
to spoke,
But the ehtrong manly voice use to
falter and break;
But at last, by the strength of his high
mounting pride,
He conquered and mastered his grief
swelling tide;
An' says be, "Mother, darlint, don't
• break your poor heart, .
For, sooner or later the dearest must
part;
An' God knows it's better than wan•
drin' in fear,
On the bleak, trackless mountain,
among the wild deer, '
To lie in the grave, where the head,
heart and breast
From thought, labor and sorrow for.
. over shall rest.
Then, mother, my darlin', don't cry
any snore,
Don't make me seem broken in this
my last hour;
For I wish; when my head's layin'
der the raven,
No thruo man can say that I died like
a craven'!"
Then towards the judge Shamus bent
down his head,
An' that minute the Solemn death sen•
tence was said.
The mornin' was bright, an' the mists
rose on high,
An' the lark whistled merrily in the
clear sky—
. But why are the mess stundin' idle so
late T
An' why do the crowds gather fast in
tho. street r
What come they to talk of?—what
come they to see T
4' why does the Jong rope hang from
. .
the cross tree 1
Oh, Shamus O'Brien, pray fervent an'
fast;
.4u the saints take your soul, for this
day is youolast ;
gray fast and pray strong, for the too;
pert is nigh,
-PERSEVERE.-
When shtrong, proud, an' great as you
• are, you-must die:
An' faster an' faster the crowds gath
ered there,
Boys, horses and gingerbread, just like
a fair,
An' whiskey was and cusimack
- too,
An' - old men and young women enjoy
ing the view,
An' onld Tim Mulvaney, he made the
remark,
"There wasn't Bich a sight since the
days of Noah's ark."
An' be gerry it was three for him, for
the devil a, such a,scrouge,
Such devarsion and crowds, iwas seen
since the deluge.
For thousands were gathered there if
there was one,
Waitin' until such time as the hangin'
would come on.
At last they throw open the big prison
gate,
An' out came the sheriffs and soldiers
. in slate,
An' a cart in the middle, and Shamus
was in it,
Not paler, but prouder than ever that
' minute.
An' as soon as the people saw Shamus
O'Brien,
Wid prayin' and blessin', and all the
girls cryin',
A wild wailin sound kem on all by de.
grees,
Like the sound of the lonesome winds
blowin' through the trees.
On, on, to the gallows the sheriffs are
gone,
An' the cart an' the enjoys go steadily
on;
An' at every side swollin' round-of the
cart,
A wild, sorrowful sound that'd open
your heart.
Now under the gallows the cart takes
its stand,
An' the hangman gets up with the
rope in his hand ;
An' the priest having blessed him goes
' down to the ground,
An' Shamus O'Brien throws one last,
look around.
Then the hangman drew near, and the
people grew still,
YOUI , faces turned sickly, and warm
hearts turned chill . ;
An' the rope bein' ready, his neck was
made bare,
For the gripe iv the life-strangling cord
to prepare;
An' the good priest has left him, haV
in' said his last prayer.
Butt the good priest did more—for his
hands he unbound,
An' with one daring spring, Jim has
leaped on the ground,
Bang, bang I goes the carbines, and
clash goes the sabres,
"He's not down! he's alive still! now
stand to him, neighbors!"
Through the smoke and the horses,
he's into the croWd--
"By the heavens, he's free!" then the
thunder more aloud,
By one shout from the people the
heavens wore shaken,
Ono shout that the dead of the world
mifght awaken.
Tonight he'll be sleeping in Atherloe
glen,
An' the devil's in the dice if you catch
him agen.
The sojers ran this way, the sheriffs
ran that,
An' Father Malone lost his new Sun
day hat ;
Your sabers may glitter, your carbines
go bang,
But if you want hangin', it's yourself
you may hang.
For a swift horse will bear him to deep
Bantry Bay,
Where the tall ship is waiting to bear
him away.
Then soon o'er the broad blue Atlantic
. he'll be,
In America, darliu', the land of the
free ! . •
A FEAREUL THREAT.—No threats of
violence, no warnings of assassination
have modified the unsparing boldness
with which the editor of the Salt Lake
City Vidette has denounced the leaders
of the Mormon hierarchy. He has de
fied all shapes and forms of vengeance
—but one. His timorous side has
been discovered, and thus he confesses
himself subdued : "'Now,' as the lark
said to her young ones, 'it is time for
us to leave.' We could stand the
'bloody hand' and the 'skedaddle' or
the other warning, but the following
gets us. Just count us out:"
SALT LAKE CITY, April 9, 1860:
"Mr. Editor Vidette:—lf you don't
quit abusing Stenhouse and the Mor
mons, we'll wino and marry you. We
don't mean 'blood,' but we won't stand
to have Stenhouso maligned; so you
look out."
ug1.27 MORMON WOMEN.
"We weaken on the turn. Will
some one take our place? '27 Mormon
women !' P-h-e-w ! We apologize.—
We don't edit the Vidette: Stonhouse
is a good fellow—a bravo man—and
ho can look a dog in the face! Be
sides he never did borrow a pair of
brass knuckles. '27 0 Lord,
have mercy upon us, miserable Sin
ners ! Don't shoot this way ! We aro
not the man ! 27 wives ! We'll go !"
tEr 4 friend explains the present
system of raising revenue as follows:
"Now, you two, in the first place they
git the hang of a feller's business—that
is taxed. Then they find out how
much he earns'every month, and that
is taxed: Then they find out all about
his profits, and on that they lay their
tax. Then they manage to get some
tax on What he owes. Next comes
what they call inconie, and that's taxed.
Thep, if anything is left, the preacher
calls round and gets it to sustain the
church and convert the heathen."

Remarkable Escapes of Eminent
Men, •
Some years ago a young man hold
ing a subordinate position in the East
India Company's service twice attemp
ted to deprive himself of life by snap
ping a loaded pistol at his head. Each.
time the pistol missed fire. A friend
entering his room shortly afterwards,
he requested him to fire it out the win
dow; it then went off without any dif
ficulty. Satisfied thus that the weap
on had been-duly primed and loaded,
the young man sprang up, exclaiming
"I must be reserved for something
great ;" and from that moment gave
up the idea of suicide, which-for some
time previous had been uppermost in
his thoughts. The young man after
wards became Lord Clive. Two broth
ers were on one occasion walking to
gether when a violent storm of thun
der and lightning overtook them. One
was struck dead on the spot, the oth
er was spared; else would the name
of the Great Martin Luther, have been
unknown to mankind.
.The holy St.
Augustine, having to preach at a dis
tant town, took with him aguide, who
by some unaccountable means, mistook
the usual road and fell into a by-path.
He afterwards discovered that his ene
mies, had placed themselves in the
proper road with the design of murder
ing. Bacon, the sculptor, when a
tender boy of five years Old, fell into a
pit of a soap-boiler, and must have
perished, had not a workman, just en
tering the yard, observed his head,and
immediately delivered him. When Oli
ver Cromwell was an infant a mon
key snatched him from his cradle,lear
ed with him - through a garret window,
and ran along the leads of the house.
The utmost alarm was excited among
the inmates, and various were the de
vices used to rescue the child from the
guardianship of his newly found pro
tector. All-were unavailing; his would
be rescuers bad lost courage, and were
in despair of over seeing the child alive
again, when the monkey quietly re
traced.its steps and deposited its bur
den safely on the bed. On a subse
quent occasion the water bad well nigh.
quenched his ambition. Ho fell into a
deep pond, from drowning in whicl a
clergyman named Johnson was the
sole instrument of his rescue. At the
siege of Leicester a young soldier
about, seventeen years of age was
drawn out for sentry duty. Ono of
his comradco wag very anxious to take
his place. No objectlott - rnur - rn,..d,,
this man went.. He was shot dead
while on guard. The young.man first
drawn afterwards become the author
of the "Pilgrims Progress." Doddridge
when born, was so weakly an infant
it was believed to be dead. A nurse
standing by fancied she saw some
signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark
of life was saved from being extin
guished, and an eminent author and
consistent Christian preserved to tho
world. John Wesley, when a child
was only just preserved from fire. Al
most the moment after he was rescued
the roof of the house whore he had
been fell in. Of Philip Henry a simi
lar.instance is recorded. John Knox,
the renowned Scotch reformer, was
was always wont to sit at the head of
the table with his back to the window.
On one particular evening, without,
however, being able to account for it,
he would neither hiniself set in the
chair nor permit any one else to occu
py his place. That very night a bul
let was shot in a window, purposely to
kill him; it grazed the chair in which
ho sat, and made a bole in the foot of
a candlestick on the table. Arany years
have now elapsed since the subalterns
might have been seen struggling in
the water, off St. Helena; one of them
peculiarly helpless, was fast succumb
ing. He was saved, to live as Arthur
Wellesly, Duko of Wellington. •
Patent Love Letters.
DEAR MISS :--After long considera
tion and much meditation upon the
great reputation you possess in the na
tion, I have a str'ango inclination to
become your relation. If this oblation
is worthy of observation, and can ob
tain commiseration, it will be an ag
grandizatfon beyond all calculation of
the joy and exultation of
PETER H. PORTATION.
P. S.—l solicit the acceptation of
the love and approbation, and propose
the annexation of the lives and destin
ationof Peter H Portation and Marie
Moderation.
THE ANSWER,
DEAR, PETER have pars - nod your
oration with great deliberation and a
little consideration at the great infatu
ation of your weak iniagination to
show such veneration on so slight a
foundation. After maturo deliberation
and serious contemplation, I fear your
proclamation is filled with adulation,or
sayings from ostentation to display your
education by an odd enumeration, or
rathor multiplication, of words of like
termination, though different- in signi
fication. But as I admire association,
and am in favor of annexation, .I. ac
knowledge my approbation, and in
deed my inclination, to accept with
gratification the love and adoration set
forth in your declaration, and will,
with preparation, love, and animation,
remain with resignation, and rejoice
in•the appellation of _
MRs. PETER H. PonTATToN
P. S.—l suggest the information
that we meet in consultation, and
make some preparation for the final
consummation of the intended annex
ation; when I will bear the same rela
tion to your home and occupation that
Mrs. Peter 11. P.ortation would then
bear to myself.

city, Horace Greeley of the New York
Tribune said :
There is no new truth. All truth is
from the beginning, and it is only er
ror that takes now forms. I shall have
nothing new therefore to entertain
you with, but shall only repeat the
thoughts of those who have previously
addressed you, Or rehearse a few facts
that seem encouraging to those who
labor in the cause of Temperance.
The suggestions of the appetite are
positive and appeal alike, giving every
individual who uses liquor a species of
sensual gratification. Our arguments,
however, reach but few. Nevertheless,
the habit of deep drinking, among ed
ucated and refined persons, is not so,
prevalent as it was formerly. Gentle
men do not now, neither in England
or the Continent, drain bottle after
bottle from dingier until midnight. It
was their common habit to do so; and
they died by scores, at the age of 50
years, of gout and other diseases, caus
ed mainly by drinking, whore now but
few victims aro to be found.
In this fact is to be found the proof
of substantial progress. It is the result
of the Teetotal movement. With or
without our help the sentiment has
moved forward. In New England the
same progress has been made. It was
formerly the common habit of the
smaller farmers to drink- while at their
labor, and the belief was that liquor
was a necessity to those who were
compelled to use great 'muscular exer
tion. I have heard men 50 years of
ago, who had spent their lives upon
their farms, assert that they had never
moved a day without rum. Now this
belief does not exist, and liquor is not
rega'rded as necessary to enable them,
to accomplish their work.
It was also once regarded as a so
cial duty to offer liquor to visitors, just
as when they deemed one hungry they
would offer food. Liquor was even
used at funerals, and on occasions
when it was not produced it was re
garded as evidence of want of respect
for the dead. Joy and sorrow alike
demanded it then; now it is not gen
erally thought of in , connection with
either emotion.
There is nowhere so much drunken
ness as there was formerly, even with
in my early recollection. The Tem
perance movement or something else
hronght—a__gront; improvement:
By our help or in spite of it there has
been progress among the decent and
respectable classes. There aro still
many who drink very largely, and
quarrels, riots and other crimes that
grow out of the habit, are frequent;
but within 32 years American society
has become comparitively abstemious,
and ifthe progress was only felt among
the members of the Temperance socie
ties there might be danger, but it is
felt in the social condition of all class
es. ' •
It islot,however, sufficient that men
should be temperate. The rumseller
dislikes drunkards, for they injure his
business, and drunkards themselves
will toll you that they love temperance.
Drunkenness is an abuse : temperance,
they say, is drinking to exhiloration,
not to stupidity. I unfold another idea.
In so far as you are at all effected by
alcoholic stimulants; you are poisoned.
Temperance is in using in moderation
what is useful and wholesome,and in ab
staining totally from what is poisonous
and harmful. Intemperance is an ex
cess in the use of wholesome articles,
and any use at all of articles which are
hurtful. Alcohol is pernicious in its
nature, and no man was over intoxica
ted who was . not poisoned.
Alcohol and the vital forces aro
deadly enemies. When it is taken
into the stomach they rally to •expel
the intruder and stimulation, is the re
action caused by the effort on the part
of those formed to rid themselves of
the enemy. Men who drink largely
without getting drunk are injured
more than if they were stimulated:
Drunkenness is one of God's benignant
exhibitions of patience. If you.know
a drinker, pray God that in every case
he be made drunk. It is not intoxica
tion, in any vulgar sense, that We
ought to, dread, but the corruption of
blood and brain which is the result of
drinking. .God pities men who 'will
drink by making them drunk.
The speaker then referred to the
custom of offering wino to New Year's
callers; urging his hearers to refrain
from it in future, and said there was
liberty in taking the pledge, for even
the unprincipled respected principle,
and one who refused to drink on these
grounds would never be tempted.
TaE ANIMAL KINGDP.I.A writer
in the Bound Table; in tracing resem
blances in the animal kingdom says :
"Strolling up Broadway of a pleasant
afternoon wo have met • apes, bulls,
sheep, goats, frogs, doves, wolves, poo
dles, mastiffs, lizards, swans, bears,
mice, leopards, chameleons, eagleS,pigs,
opossums, peacocks, camels, squirrels
and other counterparts of the animal
kingdom, disguised in human forms
and arrayed after the manner of hu
man kind. To ono thoroughly imbu
ed with this branch of physiognomy
the multitude affords a constant study."
Ono of John B. Ciough's stories
was a neat hit at those dilatory people
who are always behind time. Some
ono said to a person of this class, "1
see that you belong to the three-band
ed people." "Three-handed: that's
rather uncommon." "Oh no, common
enough—two hapds like other people
—and a little behind-hand."
lluopm says that printers' ink is the
best friend he ever had. He invested
in it largely by judicious advertising,
and prospered accordingly.

HOW TO HAVE A LOVING WITE.-.A.
correspondent sends the following to
the PIIRENOLOGICIAL JOURNAL If you
wOuld have a loving wife, be as gentle
in your words after as before marriage;
treat her quite as tenderly when a
matron as when a miss ; don't make
her the maid of all work and ask her.
why she looks less tidy and neat than
when you "first knew her;" don't buy
cheap, tough beef, and scold because
it does not come on the table "perter
house ;" don't grum,ble about equaling
babies it you can not afford to keep up,
a "nursery," and remember that"bahy
may take after his papa" in his dispo
sitions; don't smoke and chew tobacco
and thus shatter your nerves, spoil
your temper, and make your lips and
breath a nuisance and complain that
your wife declines to kiss you ; go
home joyous and cheerful to your sup
per and tell your tired wife the good
news you have heard, and not silently
put on your hat and go' out to the
"club" or "lodge,". and let her after
wards learn that you spent the even
ing at the opera or at a fancy ball with
Mrs. Dash. Love your wife; be pa—
tient; remember you are 'not perfect,
but try to be; let whiskey, tobacco,
and vulgar company alone; spend your
evenings with your wife; live a decent,
Christian life,,a.nd 'your wife. will be
loving and true—if you did not marry a
heartless beauty without sense or
worth; ifyou'did, who is to blame if
you suffer the consequences,
HOW TO HAVE A KIND HUSBAND.—A
correspondent of the _Hope Journal
gives a recipe for making or keeping a
good natured husband : "Keep his lin
en in prime condition, with the requis
ite degree of stiffness; never let hint
know the want of a button ; give him
well broiled beefstake, wholesome
bread, and a sparkling cup of coffee
for his 'breakfast;:keep sugalling babies
and broken crockery out of sight ; do
not annoy him with the blunders and
extravagances of "Biddy," greet his
evening arrival with a clean, lightsome
face, well combed hair, and a welcome
kiss ; have ready a cheerful supper, a
bright fire on the grate, an easy chair,
with comfortable gown and slippers ;
be merry, and tell him some agreeable
news; finally, give him a well made
bed in a Cosy chamber."

wrath of a perturbed spirit.

with contempt, than - s . • • •
lion by, uttering an oath..
It is vulgar. Altogether tou low for
a decent man.
It is cowardly. Implying a fear
either of 'not being believed or obeyed.
It is ungentlemanly. A.gentlen3an,
according to Webster, lea genteel man
—well bred and refined.
It is indecent,, offensive to delicacy,
and extremely unfit for human ears.
It is foolish. Want of decency is
want of sense.
It is abusive—to the mind which
conceived the oath, to the tongue
which uttered it and to the person to
whom it is aimed.
It is venomous; showing a man's
heart to be as a nest of vipers, and
every time he swears, one of them
starts out from his head. .
It is contemptible; forfeiting the re
spect of the wise and good.
It is wicked; violating the divine
law, and provoking the displeasure of
Him who will not hold him guiltless
who takes His name in vain.
