[Original.] THE WITCH OF KILDARE. An Irish Poem. BY DENNIS O'RAVVERTY Come, listen to me, if it plaze ye, I'll cause ye wid wonder to shtare, Whin I tell of the deeds of grim horror That cursed the foul Witch of Kildare. She lived in a dirt-covered cabin, Close down by the side of a bog, W'id no livin crature about her Except a black cat and a dog. The childreu would shtare and thin schamper Away at the sight of her form ; For shure they all knew her dark power To do their wee bodies great harm. Wid measles and coughs she would vex 'em, Till ghosts would their beauty excel ; She'd shtraugle, and shmother and roast 'em, By means of her divilish And Paddy M'Shane's brindle heifer Grew thin from the glance of her eye, And widout the laste provocation, Resolved in her terror to die. But Paddy was moved to examine, And sarche for the cause of the same, When 10l a grape shot he found in her, Composed of the hair of the daine. And 'twas said whin the hour appointed For ghosts and hobgoblins to sbwarm Arrived, that around her mud hovel Were sane the most hideous forms. There were imps of all grades and proportions, From the size of a doll to a giant; Wid unarthly screeches they'd revel, And set toe whole town at defiance. And Billy O'Flinn, whin returning From church, by the light of the moon, Sane plain as his shanty before him The beldame ashtride of a broom. And while his rid hair, like green barley, Shtood up nnalarmed at the sight, The bloody ould bag, like an aisle, To the bog took her sulphurous flight. At lingth there was found a brave fellow, One Terrence 111.Tarland by name, Who shwore lie would lade a banditta, To drown the ould Witch in red flame. Now Terrence was blest wid a courage That all Satan's forces would face, And for the destruction of witches, The boy had an illegant taste. Ile shtood in his rid Irish shtockings Full six and-a-half English feet ; He could handle the shprig o' shillaly Wid any gossoon on the slitrate. And schure lie was born of good parents, Direst in the lineage of Cain, Whose memory's coeval wid murther, And blood has attended the name. Bould Terrence now mustered au army, To capture the Witch of Kildare, And bring the ould sinner to justice Or perish most valiantly there. But first he must choose a lefteuant, Whose courage the captain's would match And few were the boys in the parish Whose toe could remain at the scratch. But Phelin O'Neil was selected, Who weighed about twenty-one shtone ; A boy full of fight as a Malay, Ocb I his was the iron bone. At lingth the brave baud of shwate urchins Was all organized and equipped, And Terrence, the battle-scarred leader, Shwore roundly thade nicer bin whipped. But, och 1 blood andzounds, what a picture ! Their arms would make volunteers blush ; They resimbled a dame wid a ladle, Attacking a pot of hot mush. There was Billy liTarthy, the spalpeen, A coward most shurely was he ; A souldier can handle a musket, But Biliy, be me sowl, he had three. 'Twas well his thick pate had provided A careful supply of long guns, For plenty there were in that army That had'ut the priming of one. But shure, it's uo use to go schooting, And wasting yer powder at all, For if at one pop yez would kill her, Yez must load wid a big silver ball. And if me own sill bad bright silver Ould Dennis would feel very rich, And nivcr would it inter the carcass Of inny ould jibbering witch. But I must be telling me shtory, Or I'll be forgetting that same : How the old huzzy's body, all gory, Was shwallowed all up in blue flame. But not until all her defenders had left her to battle alone, And flew to the den of their master, Where chained spirits lingerin groan. One night, whin the dread "jack- o-lantern" Was ladin black ghosts through the bog, And fairies were dancing a hornpipe Upon the thick lowering fog, And all the rid sons of perdition Had gathered to have a good time, About the ould Witch's plantation, And in a grand jubilee jine. Whin the noise roused each slumbering mastiff, Widin a full mile of the hut, The captin, quick, mustered his soldiers The throats of the divils to shut. They gathered a band of bog-trotters, Determined to conquer or die ; The trunk like brogans of the captain Showed plain by the fire of his eye. Ile shwore they couhl bate all the divils That could play body-guard to the Witch, And siad thim all Lack to their caverns, To lie widin blankets of pitch. • 'Twas thin the undaunted leftenant His burly proportions did shake, And said, ere they fought the hobgoblins, They'd bether have something to tale. Thin away for a drop of the crater They posted swift Paddy in haste, Determined to march on the shanty As soon as they all got a taste. And still rang the screeches and howling, Far out from the tumult below, Till Paddy returned wid the courage, Which made them all anxious to go. Menetime, as a small reconnoisance, The captain had neared the lone spot. And gazed through a chink by the windy Until he grew cold and thin hot ; Of all the mad scenes he had witnesed At Bullyporeen, or Kildare, They appeared as the wink of a kitten Beside the high carnival there. Wild jigs; up and down they were dancing; Grim witches and divils in pairs ; Whilst the piper, a defunct musician, Played hot incombustible airs. Wid courage the captin was shakin ; The sight a mad tiger would. schare; For shure all the inmates of darkness Rejoiced in felicity there. Thin back to the boys he shtole softly, To give them the word of command, And git a swate kiss from the bottle That Paddy held fast in his hand. But whin he discribed the cotillion The goblins, wid fury, did dance ; The forms from the regions infernal, That through the ould cabin did prance; 'Twos thin their eyes opened like iysthers, And feelin unusually dhry, Each souldier, upturnin the bottle, Gazed long at the beautiful sky. "Now forward," cried Terrence, "mc darling, We'll conquer or die by the bog ;" Jist then a brave son of ould Erin Discharged his fusee at the dog. The others thought that was the signal To open their death daling fire, Benath which no sinsible divil, Would do anything but expire. And pouric a murdherous volley, They rushed on the schanty pell mell ; But instead of schmall arms they weregrated Wid soul-parcing hair movin yells, HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1874. And back to each man in a jiffy Was sint the identical ball, That he had discharged from his muskit, Bedad it killed no witch at ill. But, as each brave boy was approachin, To charge on the imps of dispair ; Each ball took its place in the barril, As thought it had oftin bin there. Thin Billy McCarthy, the sinner. Most loudly the divils he cursed, Said he, "whin ye sint back me earthridge, Ye turned the thing bullit end first." And now the brave band quickly halted, Fur schure their fusees were all schpiked, Besides, to fight witches and divils, Was play that not one of thin' liked. And so they fell back in good order, To gaze on the soul-fraziug sight, Whilst over the schanty did hover An oneartltly blue-lookin light. Thin up from the scans there was wafted A stnotherin sulphurous schmell, And they knew the Witch had few momenta (►n Erin's blist surface to dwill. Jist thin, like a rushing tornado, The flame on the schanty did fail, And where the dark den had been standin, There soon was seen nothing at all. And while all the counthry was lighted, Like the full blaze of day, wid the glare, Thg goblins howled out in their anguish, At the death of the Witch of Kildare. Zite REVELATIONS OF TRUTH. The breakfast things had been cleared away, and the young people of the family were rejoicing in the prospect of a. happy country walk, afforded by tl:e leisure of New Year's day ; but it was so intensely cold that Robert Markham, the father, seemed unwilling to stir out, and he stood at the window in an unusually gloomy mood. True it was that he was a very poor man, though he often acknowledged that many alleviations were granted to him, and lie gradually allowed himself to fall in to a discontented reverie, as he gazed on his rich opposite-door neighbors, who. wrapt in furs and velvets, were setting off in a handsome coach. "Tile rich can have everything they wish fln., I think," lie muttered, half aloud ; and that moment to his surprise, a small man, clad in gray, stood beside him, who re plied "Follow me," and gave him a pull, which, though gentle, he lea 'could not be resisted ; and quitiog the parlor, they en tered the very house at which Markham had been looking. Here, in an inner chamber, paced to and fro an idiot girl, whose wasted loveliness, and the trace of superior intelligence still visible in her countenance, showed that, thus suffering for many years, the time had been when she had been the life and joy of the domestic circle. Her mother sat in the chamber, quietly weeping bitter tears, and on fillowing the handsome coach, Markham, by the aid of his guide, could see that the hearts of all within were every one more or less bawed down by the great trial to them of a sister and daughter so afflicted. Before he could ask any questions his guide had entered another wealthy abode, where around a late breakfhst sat a family in great dis tress; fir a letter had been just received conveying the unexpected intelligence of the sudden death of a very dear relative ; and while the older members were absorb ed in deep sorrow, the young ones were la menting among each other the sudden dis ruption of all their long-prepared schemes for a merry day and various joyous even ing festivities. In the next house was a widowed mother, a young girl and two old servants—the latter busily engaged pack ing up for the departure by that night's mail or an only son, who, seated between his sole parent and his sister, vainly en deavored to console them under the mel ancholy loss of his support and the comfort of his society during a ten years' sojourn is the Indian tropic. "Alas ! I dare not think we shall ever meet again in this lire, my son—my only son !" was the only response of those whose distress no human aid could soothe. Markham, surprised and ashamed by all he had seen, would willingly, even now, have foregone any further inquisition be hind scenes in rich houses. But the gray man gave no time for parley, and a fourth mansion exhibited the hitherto unknown yet bitter sufferings of a little girl, snub bed hourly by fretful % self-important, ty rannical nurses, and daily tortured by the painful and undue partiality shown by her parents toward her brother, the heir of their noble home. As they lett this place, Markham heard the poor little girl murmur to herself: "Oh, dear! I wish I was Nancy Dor mer, the gate-keeper's child, for she loves her girls as well as her boys, every bit." In the adjoining square resided a large family, who were this morning quarreling like so many cats and dogs, their unyield ing tempers and perverse dispositions ef fectually barring out any enjoyment of the lovely holiday which they ►eight have en joyed, when the rich, toiling merchant had shut up his counting-house for once, and had leisure, though he seemed to have no inclination, to be happy with his wife and children. Their next-door neighbors were a rich couple, who had only one child, a grown up son, subject to epileptic attacks; he had one that morning, and the rest of the day was being spent apart,. from all friends and festive gatherings by the anxious parents, in sorrowful expectations of a second fit, and in that most painful of all states, suspense, which could neither be avoided nor hastened. Again the gray man traversed the snow laden streets, and introduced Markham to an artist's home, who—an eminent teacher —had just saved enough to establish his eldest son, and to give his daughter a dow ry on her marriage, but who had just re ceived a letter by the postman to say that. all his savings, which had been lent out, apparently on good security, were entirely swept away by the failure of the gentleman to whom they had been entrusted. "Stay," said Markham, "you are merely picking out the worst cages; it should be the average; let me choose tbr myself." His guide coldly assented, and in a mo ment they entered an abode which Mark ham selected at random ; here servants, wife, friends and children were anxiously awaiting the return ofthe head of the house in order to sit down to a luxurious din aer. He had gone out to make a call upon an old acquaintance, and no one could conceive what delayed him. He came at length looking pale and agitated, and with difficul ty related that he had been detained byen deavoring to restore to life three young men who had been skating and fallen under the ice. The bystanders, had, however, only suc ceeded, after hours of exertion, in bringing to life one out of the three, and the agony which the gentleman had gone through during this scene, and the distress he had witnessed of the relatives of the drowned boys, had entirely spoilt the day as a fes tive occasion, and, through sympathy with him, that of the rest of the family. Impa tiently Markham choose another dwelling, and there found a terrible scene going on in the an i viA of heart with which two gray•headed parents were listening to the sad disclosure that one of their sons had committed a dishonorable, because dishon est, action, which would blast his reputa tion for life. The sweet sound of singing a hymn then attracted Markham to the opposite side of the street, and entering he saw a pale invalid with placid, resigned features, extended on a couch from which it was evident she would never rise again ; and beside her another sister, as yet strong. er, but also bearing the death-seal or eon sumption in her appearance, was singing the inure suffering one to sleep, while their father, a widower, seemed praying for strength to bear these heavy impending trials. The scene was peaceful, but very sad ; and the next mansion seemed to promise better, fir it was now evening, and the sounds of gayety showed that no pressing cause of grief prevented the seasonable fes tivities ; but at the side-table, lonely, ne glected, sat a young, fair governess, far away from all whom she loved ; aml whose magnificent sa'ary, and the enjoyment of every external luxury, could not make up for the contempt with which she was treat ed ; while the rest of the party were emp ty-headed people, caring only for good eat ing, save the son of*the house, who had behaved ill and wasted his youth, and whose heart was now filled with corroding remorse. Five or six more examples only served still further to impresseupon Mark ham the existence of the cross in every one's lot, which is the doom of rich and poor alike; and on entering a superbly fur nished drawing-room he beheld a spectacle from which he shrank - , but which his inex orable guide compelled him to look upon On the brocaded sofa lay a lovely child some five years old—the darling of every one who knew him—his little features con vulsed by terrible pain, and five doctors vainly striving to arrest the torturing suf fering, or stay his fast fleeting life. The parents proffered gold, land and houses to the medical men it' they would only save their child, but in vain ; and soon a pierc ing shriek told the spectators that all was over, and the wretched parents childless amid all their splendor. Markham could bear no more. _lie fled bewildered, and seemed to outstrip his guide; and his hand was on the latch of his own door, when a kiss restored him to consciousness, and Jane Markham exclaim ed: "Why, father, what a long sleep you've had while we've been out' See, dinner is quite ready, and umther has dished up the plum pudding." Markham kissed his child in mute thank fulness, and with a full heart sat down to his clean, simple meal, surrounded by healthy children and his dear little crippled boy, to enjoy the luxury of pudding and beef provided by his employ er, and feeling that he should never dare again to think his rich neighbors were free from trouble and care, because they hap pened to be wealthy. for et pillion. Our New York Letter. Milliners and Dress-Makvrs—A lot of' Talk Thereon—Tilton and Beecher—Summer Charities—The Flower Mission. NEW YORK, Augist 22, 1874. Paris makes the fashions of the world, and New York varies them a trifle to suit the difference in climate and the peculiar ities of the people, and distributes them through the United States and Canadas. The lady of Washingtonville, ia the State of lowa, gets herself a really fashionable dress at a very moderate price, but she does not know or appreciate how much more the same dress cost her sister (by Eve) in Nevi York when the fashion was first brought out. The fashionable milliners and dress-ma kers of this city make enormous sums of money. The simplest bonnet on their stands, without ornaments, is marked not less than $2O, and then the expense begins. The little French.. flower is put ou at $5, and the milliner who asks it never blushes a blush, and it' that flower swells to a wreath or anything of that sort, the $5 swells to $25. Then the plume and lace must be added, and you find that the cheap est bonnet that any woman of pretension wears costs not•a cent less than $5O. Let us go into a little detail in this matter of EXTRAVAGANT PRIOE. [ saw a little white hat the other day at a milliner's store, in the full summer style. of course, with a ticket on it marked $230 Think of that ! And think, too that this trifle, for it was as frail as spun glass, could not possibly 13;3 worn a dozen times ! That price was doubtless paid for it, it was doubtless worn and admired a dozen times, and is doubtless now in sonic dust bin. What, oh wives, of hard workin: , farm ers and mechanics, do you think of such prices as $6OO for n not over extravagant ball dress—of $9OO for an evening dress, and then not considered extravagant atall ? For be it known, on special occasions it is nothing uncommon to pay three or four times $9OO for a dress, to say nothing of the lace and jewelry necessary to sat it out. A. rich dress of that kind must have all the accompaniments to make it the proper thing. _ _ - It is a curious thing in dress that the principal DESIGNERS OF LADIES DRESS ARE MEN Everybody knows that Worth, the Par isian man-milliner, has designed and super intended the making or the best dresses that France has seen for many years. All the great houses in the trade in New York keep masculine artists to adorn feminine beauty. As women dress to attract the admiration of men, they have an idea (and they are correct doubtless in this, as in everything else,) that a man eau better judge of what men like than they them selves. The principal bonnet trimmer is a man six feet in height, and he handle: needle and thimble with a grace and dex terity that is simply wonderful. The milliners and dress makers of New York are the recipients of as many secrets as the physicians, though they are of anoth er character. Mrs. Blank desires to out shine some other Mrs. in her set and Mad aw2, the modiste, is complaisant in the matter of credit—in fact she urges all the rich goods possible upon the poor rich woman. But the bill is finally presented, and horror ! What a bill it is ! Item af ter item is scanned, till finally the grand stun total is reached. It is a long way up into the thousands. Now, Mrs. Blank has no earthly way of paying this bill. She dare not ask her husband for the money, f►r he, poor fellow, is strug!dinfr for life. and besides she has told him little ihs about the matter, in representing that she has been paying for all these nice things. as she got them, nut of the liberal allow ance for dress that he made her. The complaisant Madame suddenly becomes as rigid as an iron poker. and as c o ld as a stone. She must have her money. MN Blank in her terror, does queer things.— Sometimes she pawns her diamonds. some times she steals coupons from her hus band's bonds and sometimes alas ! she sells her virtue to some wealthy libertine in whose pay Madame is. that the dread se cret may he kept till economy enable 4 her to pay. The passion fir dress has ruined more women than all the other causes corn 1. i ned. THE BEECHER BUSINESS I heve been praying for SIVCfI dap that I might never be compelled to write the name of Beecher or that of Tilton again. for the subject smells to heaven. The :le emulation of nastiness that 14 filling up about their name is terriWe. Your n :vi ers all know the facts so fir as the -vie graph gives them. I can only assist tucrn as to the drift of opinion here. It is against Beecher and is daily growing more intense and pronounced. New developements are coming to light daily. The fact is. it is believed, that Mr. Beecher has lived a life in total variance with his professions ; that his amours have been fearful in number and quite as fearful in character. Instances are corniog to light every day, and wheth er true or false they are believed. Report. , arc circulated concerning a lady, who for ears, was his short-hand amanuensis, and it i s stated moreover. that the officers of Plymouth Church knew of his infatuation for her, and attempted by force to save him from pursuing the intrigue. Of course no one can say with any ac curacy. as to whether there is any truth in all this, but there is a growing belief that it is true. And now Bowen, of the Independent, is being dragged in. and who will came next no one knows. It is to be poped, in the interest of common decency, that some definite conclusion may be ar rived at, and that an end may be put to this horrih;c scandal. We have had enough of it. SUMMER, CII.IRITIES, This terribly hot summer following on the privations or the last hard winter has added to the sufferings of the poor almost beyond endurance. Days when the ther mometers marked 1O in the shade, and there have been weeks of such weather since the first of June, the state of things in down town streets and baking tenement houses was :limiting. If the Board of Health had not stirred up the street clean inr: department to unwonted zeal early in the season, New York would have been al most uninhabitable. A 3 it was, the hot weather opened on a cleaner condition of things than the nose of humanity have been able to detect for rears. It will Le understood that cleanliness is spoken of only in a relative sense. When u citizen crosses either ferry without having to med itate exclusively on drainage and sewer pipes from the dock to Broadway. he con gratulates himself on the good condition ef street,.. The poor whose homes are in these streets, however, might he disposed to try conclusions with him. Many efforts arc made by kind hearts to lessen the suf ferings of this torrid summer Excursions for the poor children and for their parents too, arc not wanting. Hospitals in the country are fi.ted up to receive sick chil dren, homes arc established fur babies and invalid women, where they can get well in pure air among the pleasant scenes, which to them are like tastes of heaven. The owner of one or the finest yachts in the country, is in the habit every summer of taking parties of mission school children off for a cruise, and giving them all the delights of unlimited petting and indul gence. The monkeys take to it as kindly as if they had been used to first clam yachts, and had a banker for guardian all their lives, and come home with speech and winners polished up to a surprising de gree-!. Benevolent ladies club together to send off poor sewing women for a mouth in the country, and send them, too, wash snug little outfits, that there n o sy be no drawbacks to the rest and pleasure of the holliday. It would be sadly against the desires of these practical, kind hearts if their names should become public. or it would be pleas'int to say who have set ex amples of such worthy charities. Not the least among these the FLOWER M IssloN continues its work of delight, sending hou quets to hospitals and poor familirs, where the spice of carnation and rose, tsar a while, dispel the fever-breath and str. et odors, with lifegiving scents. Much of the miasma of the city might Lc nentralia,sl. Phy sicians say, if every window-sill was bank ed with growing and fragrant flowers, to impart ozone to the air, and in time the 3lission will doubtless turn its att-ntion to supplying plants to these who are willing to take care of them. The credit of origi nating this beautiful charity 'O. due, I am told, to Miss Ella Russell, the daughter of a highly esteemed New York Merchant, and a member of Dr. Bellows' Church.— This young lady brought the Idea of the flower Mission from Boston, where it was first attempted, and now the leading churches have their days for distributing bouquets, and every Thursday ladies are seen on the streets with hands full ~rg T ra niums and rosa., while country earriage: drive in from Long Island and .Jersey with gentle-faced occupants, whose laps and hands arc loaded with garden flowers. It is a delight to receive the flowers, it it a luxury to these owners to give.

John Scott to he his own successor in the United Sates Senate for the term beginning on the fourth of March next, or whether they de sire that he may be succeeded by sowo un tried and inexperienced man. We desire positively to record our own belicf in the wisdom of retaining the services of a ser vant so faithful and efficient as Senator Scott has proved himself to he. and we will briefly state the reasons which hare led us to this conclusion. In the first place. why should there be any change in our Senatorial representa tion ? We have re-elected General Cameron to the Senate almost continuously since his first term of service, and a similar courtesy would seem, in common fairness. to be due to his colleague. If Senator Scott has served the State and the party with zeal and intelligence, why should he he torne , l ont if rh•r• h. no Emik OMNI in film. it i 4 elearly in the Pew 4 gap precedent that he he hrinnrld in preelariy the gene way that General CAIIIIIISM bees honored.
