[Written for the Jounxlt.] Paddy M'Gee's Dhrame. BY DENNIS &RAFFERTY Ould paddy M'Gee, of Killarney, .-.rning one night from a fair, Alobg wid one Michael O'Grady, Was quite overcome wid deshpair "Och, Michael, ms boy," said ould Paddy, "Be japers me money's all shpint, And I mast return to bard labor Widout bonnie Paddy's consint. "Shure, Michael, the world's full of sorrow, And Paddy's got more nor his share ; Me poor heart wid grafe is nigh broken, . I sink 'nathe me burden of care." Now Paddy had supped rather freely The liquid that maddens the sowl, Which caused discontent's gloomy shadow Across his bright pathway to roll. No man in the town of Killarney More willingly wielded the shpade ; But filled wid a longing for riches Be scorned his great cowl to degrade "Thesehands," and be spread them before hiat, "Were made to count nuggets of gold, And Shure it's a mutherin pity To delve thim right into the mold." And thus he complained of misfortune To Michael, who walked by his side ; Sez Mike, "now that's thrue for ye, Paddy, If a man had a horse he could ride. "But since we are not blist wid horses, What benefits us all yer talk? Bedad its mesilf that is thankful Becase I've the privilege to walk." But Michael's kind words were all wasted, For Paddy complained all the more ; Bleak poverty, liko a huge vulture, Right over his pathway did soar. And whin, at the dure of his shanty, Mike left him to sorrow a prey, He mused of the ills of life's journey As onward he plodded his way. But let us, wid ould Paddy, enter His shanty so thrirn and so nate, And see if a i - ason existed Why Paddy should quarrel wid fate Arrab, boys I what a family circle Presints itself here to the eye, Sufficient to plaze and encourage A murdherer sintinced to die. Of bright boys and girls, full a dozen Are sated promiscuously round, And Judy, the wife of his bosom, Widout the taste shade of a frown. Contintment, most shurely, presided In full-fledged au,hority there; In vain might the Raker of sorrow Look for the dark cloud of desphair Each sprig of the sod was as rosy And fresh as the flowers of June ; Bedad I 'twas enough to dhrive sadness To dwell all alone in the moon. Pat's grafe, like a fairy, did vanish, Bwate happiness tinctured his .;up , Producing a jug of "the crather," They all tuk another wee sup. From Nora, the pride of the shanty, To Barney, but twinty days old, They wint for that dimyjobn faircely ; To them 'twas more precious than gold Contintment, that gem of the household, Once more filled the Irishman's heart, Produced by this lovely home-picture And whisky's most powerful art. He gazed on his swate little jewels, An illegant juvenile squad, And mused of dom'stic enjoyment, Declaring all others a fraud. And Judy was looking so plisent, Her face wore a heavenly shmile, Produced by some siventeen jorums Of pleasure's great magical ile. The childer, all full in proportion, Were wild in their childish delight, At length in their glee they decided To enliven the shport wid a fight. Two boys, in their innocent aambols, Were playing the game of cross shticks ; The older ones caught the contagion, And soon 'twas a general mix. Ould Paddy grew wild wid excitement; 'Twas a miniature "Donnybrook fair;" Unable to govern his failings He sank to the flure from his chair. The battle raged higher each moment, The noise woke the dogs all around, Whose voices rang out on the midnight, A doleful sepulchral sound. Nixt chimed in the cats, wid a chorus Unaqualed on Arin's grane shore, 'Twould dhrown all the rivers of Agypt United in one mighty roar. The neighbors aroused, came, affrighted, Believing ould Nick was on nand, Confiscating mortals by dozens To carry to Hades' dark land. But Judy informed tbim, politely, The row was "fist nothing at all, 'Twas a natural scane in that shanty, A swate little family brave' " Declining the paple's kind offers To aid in restoring a calm, She swatened their acid affections By daling to each one a dhram. She shtood, like the geni in fables, Assuming an air of command, Resimbling an overgrown fairy; The jug took the place of a wand Each weapon was down in a jiffy, The ruse bad a mighty effect ; Jilt offer an Irishman whisky If ye want to secure his respect. Dape silence pervaded the shanty, No whisper fell on the night air, A s Judy procaded to strengthen Each one wid the nectar so rare. And whin anger's gloom from their features, Like migrating robins, had fled, And harmony swately presided, The household retired to bed. But Paddy, immersed in dape slumber, Was left to reme on the flure, And wonderful were the bright visions Which slape from their caverns did lure, Asthride of a winged alligator, He thraversed the ragions of air Thought Paddy, "bedad there's co crayther Rid this one for shpeed can compare." Like Selkirk of yore, he:imagined "I'm monarch of all I survey," Although he felt rather onaisy Whin his shteed bore I , im over the say. He gathered the hues of the rainbow, And twisted them into a crown, Commingling their colors so gaily To deck him a monarch profound. Wid joy be explored each fair planet, Whose mysteries puzzle the world, And swept through each untrodden cranny Wid Arin's grave banner unfurled. lle roamed amiss tinaqualed sbplendors, And brushed each bright star on his way; He sbtood on the acme of pleasure Whilst viewing the meteors play. But soon be discovered a waning Of his deep etberial joy, For share his fast nag was descending, His extasy this would desthroy. The stars, one by one, were receding Away from his rapturous sight, And darkness was slowly beclouding The face of that ocean of light. Down, down, through the dim fields of ether, Poor Paddy was hurried along, And faintly he heard, as an echo, The lingering notes of a song. Alas I had his charger continued, Wid such frantic speed, to ascend, The singers he soon should have greeted Where every grief has an'end. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1874. In vain did he shtrive to turn upward The course of his powerful shteed; His way he pursued yet more swiftly, Nor did he Pat's plaintive tones heed "Hould up, now, ye murtherin villain," He cried, and kept tugging away, "I'm plazed very well wid the counthry, Wid yer lave I'd much rather shtay." Enthreaties were all unavailing, And threatening had no effect ; lle thrated his rider's remonsthrauce Widout the Taste mite of reslipeet. As earthward, in baste, he procaded, The gloom became doubly intense ; His soul endured all the commotion Occasioned by racking suspense. Whin passing a gilded church-shteeple He felt a sharp blow on the head, And a voice, to the dramer familiar, Cried, "Shure ye've an illegant bed." Reluctantly laving his saddle lie finished his glorious ride, And op'ning his eyes in great wonder Ould Judy shtood right by his side. "Bad luck to the likes of ye, Paddy, Get up off the Sure wid ye, quick, The whisky's all dhrank, and the childer, Deprived of their food, will be sick." "Is it sick they'll be, Judy, me honey ? And shire it's tnesilf is that same ; Begob this is very unplisant Jist afther that illegant dhrame. 'Och, where's the decanter now, Judy ? Another supply we must have, For shure it's the great panacea That cheers the sad heart of the shlave." Away to the town of Killarney Ould Paddy repaired in great haste, He shwore his desires were awakened And greatly inflamed by that taste. So swate was the joy it imparted lie longed for some more of that same, And also a second edition Of that sowl-inshpiring clhrame. But Shure, I'm not able to follow This phrenzied ould mau to the end, Because on the depth of his quaffing The length of my tale would depend. I'll not fail, however, to give ye The facts, if he raises the statue, And witnesses a repetition Of that really wonderful dhratne gleading the fttliou. ERIC AND ALMA. The waterfall of Sarp rushes over the steep cliffs and plunges into the depths be low, proclaiming in tones of thunder its might and ma' 'sty, and challenging the ad miration of th€, world. Masy years ago there dwelt, on either side of the falls, a youth and maiden ; both were fair and of noble birth ; each was an only child and both were the idols of their parents. The falls was not the only barrier which divided them ; a bitter feud had existed be tween their families for generations, and although the time was now passed for their hatred to break forth in open hostility, the fire smouldered in their breasts, and was continually fanned by pride and jealousy. Both were wealthy and pow;_ rul, and each emulous of the other. The youth and the maiden partook of the enmity of their respective families, but in a milder degree, for each had a linger ing memory of havinc , in .early childhood, played on the banks of the Sarp Falls, ga zing at each other across the waters, throw ing shells and flowers into the stream and mingling their laughter as they saw them disappear in the white foam. Fate seemed to have decreed that they should never meet, for years rolled on, and they were as far apart as ever. The name of the youth was Eric. He was tall and strong; his hair was light and his eyes were blue ; he was brave and hardy ; and a worthy descendant of a bold Viking. His nature was noble and he gave with a generous hand to the poor. He was beloved by all who knew him. The name of the maiden was Alma. She, too, was greatly beloved. She was merry and bright, and her eyes and hair were as black as the cliffs, which often echoed with her laughter. Her presence shed a bright ness through the gloomy halls of her fath ers, and many guests came there attracted by her charms. Her admirers were countless, but she had no lover, for among her train of suitors, although some were of high rank and oth ers of vast estates, no one could awaken a response in her heart. 'the fame of her wit and beauty reached the ear of Eric, and he conceived an ar dent desire to meet her; and, notwith standing the dislike with which he regard ed her family, and the danger to which his heart would be exposed, he determined to carry out his wish. Eric waited tong and patiently fur a fa vorable opportunity, but as none presented itself, he was about to resort to some in cautious means, when he was asked to at tend a wedding to which most of the hon orable families of the neighborhood were invited. He went with the hope ofmeeting Alma, and was not disappointed in seeing her.— But alas ! the first glance of her black eyes was nearly fatal. The proud youth, who had hitherto been almost insensible to female charms, was suddenly enthralled. He did not take part in the festivities, but stood watching the gay scene, vainly endeavoring to preserve a haughty, unconcerned air, lest his agita tion should be perceived, as lie was the ob ject of much attention. But his cheeks would flush, and his lips tremble, when his eyes met those of Alma, who seemed likewise affected, for the at traction was mutual. All that evening they were in each other's presence, but neither spoke a word, neither approached the other, and yet their eyes told volumes The image of one was engraven on the heart of the other, never to be erased. The marriage festival ended, and Eric and Alma returned to their homes with heart and brain in commotion. Time pßsed, but it had no plwer to stifle the tender sentiment which had so suddenly sprang up in their hearts. One day, while Eric wandered in the forest not far from the home of Alma, his ear was arrested by the strains of a merry song. There WBB something in the tone of the voice that fascinated him, and he paused to listen : "O'er the land, and o'er the sea, My brave lover comes to me. I will sing a jubilee, For my sweetheart I shall see. Tra la la 1 Tra la la ! Eric did not wait to hear more, but rush ed eagerly forward, and the sight of her whom he sought soon met his gaze. But, ah, how lovely ! Perched upon a rock, like a bird, she sat strewing leaves and flowers on the ground at hPr feet, and making the woods ring with her merry voice. He had seen her at a large assemblage, dressed in stately robes, and carrying her- self with the dignity of a high-born lady. What a contrast was here ! In his imag ination she now resembled a graceful wood nymph, and his eyes beamed with admi ration. No sooner had she become aware of his presence than her song abruptly ceased, and her cheeks crimsoned with confusion. She hastily rose and descended the rock. With great embarrassment he tendered his assistance. When she had reached the ground, he detained her hand and asked. hesitatingly : "Was that song meant for me '' "Yes, though I did not dream you were so near." They stood silent for a long while; she did not withdraw her hand, and he bad no power to unclasp it. All at onco she rais ed her eyes to his and asked in a solemn voice : "Do you know who I am ?" "Yes, you are the daughter of my fath er's enemy." "And you are the son of my father's enemy." "But Alma and I are not at enmity ?" "No, Erie " "Then why cannot our friendship stretch over the breach which has divided our families for so long a time ? The moment I set foot upon your father's domain to-day, I vowed that all ill will toward your house should be forever extinct in my bosom." "My father has done your father no wrong, and if our ancestors have injured one another, they have no doubt settled their accounts in another world. I, too, have vowed to hrrbor no ill-will toward your family." "Then, darling, let us seal our vows with a kiss." They did so, and from that instant a new world opened before them. Hours paced, but they were unconscious of the flight of time until evening began to darken the earth, when with many sweet farewells, they parted, though not forever, for they had promised to meet on the same spot be fore many days. Months passed, and they continued to meet in the woods. Their love was secret to all save themselves, and they guarded it with care, else they would have been rude ly separated. These stolen intercourses were the most delicious moments of their lives, hut, like every other delightful period, it was destined to end. The parents of Alma had chosen a hus band for her—a wealthy noble—and the day appointed for her wedding was not fir distant. Eric learned the fatal news, and was attacked with a dangerous fever. In delirium he confessed his love fir Alma, and declared that he would wed her or die. The family was astonished at the intelli gence. Before his serious illness took place they perceived a change in him, but they bad never suspected the cause. The father listened with terror to the passionate appeals of his son, and tried to pursuade himself that they were merely the wanderings of a disordered intellect, and that on recovery he would disavow all that lie said during his illness. But he grew no better. The fever in creased until his life was despaired of. .... When Alma discovered that her lover was on the poit.t. of death, she became so distracted by grief that her parents were alarmed, lest she should lose her reason. Notwithstanding the danger of their children, the parents could not be prevail ed upon to meet on friendly terms; their aversion appeared to be stronger than their parental love Eric did not die, and in proportion as he regained his health, Alma recovered her tranquility of mind. The youth, in time, acquainted his father with his love for his rival's daughter. The father enraged at the possibility of their uniting in wedlock, declared that if such an event should come to pass he would disinherit him. Eric expected an angry 'outburst from his father, but confident of hii influence over him, he hoped to induce him to.yield at last to his wishes. But he was disap pointed. His father remained inexorable. Alma was equally unsuccessful in soften ine, the hearts of her parents ; they had chosen a bridegroom for her, and they were resolved she should abide by their choice. Her wedding was nearing rapidly, and grand preparations were begun for the event. She was constantly under the vigi lance of an attendant, and was in conse quence prevented from seeing Eric, who heard with au aching heart, of the arrange ments which were being made for her mar• riage. The day arrived. The guests assembled, and everything was in readiness for the occasion. All were arrayed in festive at tire ; all hearts were light sad merry, and eager to partake of the marriage feast, and to drink to the health and happiness of the bride and tridegrootn. But their joy and hilarity came to an abrupt pause. The bride was missing ! Confusion prevailed. No one could ll her whereabouts, for no one had seen a tiny, little boat sail quickly across the stream, and land near the window of her chamber. nor a youth alight, and call, in a low voice, the name of Alma ; no one had seen the bride appear and spring joyfully into his arms. When they did behold her she was clasp ed in the last embrace of her lover, sailing down the stream toward the falls, onward to a certain death ! Not all the prayers and cries of the repentant parents could save thew; they vanished in the foam, and the gloomy rocks around echoed the mourn ful words, “Too late ! too late !" Don't Do It. Don't attempt to punish all your ene mies at once. You can't do a large busi ness with a small capital. Don't say •`I told you so." Two to one you never said a word about it.

The following incident which happen.. ed to the writer long years ago, is of such a thrilling nature as to cause the blood to run cold in one's veins at the bare men tion of it. The account is founded on facts, and :an be7vouched for by witness es of undoubted integrity : While sauntering out one morning through an orange grove bordering on one of the bayous of Louisiana, and where the warning hiss and rattle of that most yen onions and deadly species of the reptile tribe are not unfrequantly heard, I came upon an inviting shady nook, and being weary and fatigued by excess and the heat of the sun, I sought repose by stretching myself at length upon the grass. and while lying there, dreaming day dreams and be ing refreshed by gentle breezes, deep scented with the fumes of the luscious Louisiana orange. I naturally yeilded to the seductive influence of Morpheus, into whose arms I gracefully resigned tnysiiff. I did not lie long thu:, however, before I was awakened by the sense of a cold pressure about my neck. I glanced down ward to ascertain the cause of my disturb ance, when, oh, horror ! what met my gaze but a huge rattlesnake, lying with his head resting as complacently and as serenely as one can imagine, upon the back ot" my hand, which I had carelessly thrown across my breast ; the rest of his body being drawn over my shoulder and wound arot nd my neck. Iljs piercing black eyes •dook ed daggers" into mine, and the diabolical expression of his countenance generally looked, if it did not say, in as many words: "The game is up with you. now, my bal." which to me was painfully ton apparent just then to entertain the least hope ores cape. Fortunately. I displayed great pres ence of mind, and I knew that to stir or make an audible noise was instant death to me. I thought that while there was life there was hope at least, and setting my wits to work. I began devising schemes by which I might make a coup d' fiat on his snake ship and effect an escape from my impend ing doom. Ah ! the thought struck me, I had a sharp penknife in my pocket Could I but slyly ease my hand down into my pocket, get possession of the knife, and by a rapid movement sever the head from the body, I would be free: But no; the knife was in my right hand pocket. and I dared not move that band from under hi.. head to get it. Then could I clutch him by the neck and body and hold him ? That would not do either, for were I to choke him he would choke me. There was but one resource left me, and that was to lie perfectly quiet and let events develop themselves ; perhaps souse one would chance to pass this way and frighten the monster away. I remained wrapt thus within the serpent's embrace a few moments. which seemed ages, when I heard the rustling of grass as of approach. ing tbotsteps. A gleam of hope nuw en tered my mind. Perhaps it was some one sent by providence to rescue me from my perilous situation. I was doomed to disappointment at this time also, as my anticipated rescuer was nothing more than a powerless hog. which passed by within a few paces of where I lay. unaware of and un.:oncerned ss to the agony under which I was suffering. A drowning man will catch at straws in order to save himself, it is said, but I actually invoked the intercession of that hog in silent prayer. I prayed that he would come nearer me, in hopes that his presence would frighten the serpent of ; but he only gave a grunt of recognition and went his way. The noise caused the snake to move and draw himself tighter about my neck. I shuddered from foar, or hope. I knew not which. T had by this time grown very weak; my blood seemed to be getting as cold as that of the snake itself. and I lay there perfectly powerless, and, as it were, dying by inches—staring grim death in the face. while his icy hand encircled my throat. My physical strength could endure no more, and I swooned away from sheer fright and exhaustion. The supreme mt. went had now arrived. In reviving from my fainting spell I suppose I irritated the snake iii some way, as he had loosened himself from my neck, and coiling h;tn self upon my breast, with his ominous forked tongue darting forth, siood ready for the attack. I uttered a yell. at which he sprang at my face with terrific force. and as I felt his jaws close on me. anti hie poisonous stin4 enter my flesh. I awoke from my horrible dream. in a suiof cold perspiration, amid the werrim nt and laughter of several of my lady acquaint ances, one of whom had been tickling my neck with a straw. It is Better.
