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.

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.

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

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

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. If one
wants a sight at the Saints of New York,
let him happen i 3 at the Church of the
Unity Thursday mornings. and sec the
sweet, devout and thankful faces bent over
their offerings of bloom,
For Senator, John Scott.
The time has fully come for the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania to say plainly
whether they wish tin. 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
