It isn't fair to ask me to dauce so often, Pety, murmured Nelly, as she arose to become Fogetv's partner. "Musha faith, an' I have as much right to you as any one here." replied the youth in an undertone, with a quick flash of his dark eye. \ ery dejected aud perturbed was the crest falleu Penis Ryan, as he sat agaiust the barn wall, lookiug on the ground, while N'eddv N'o ger's arm waxed more vigorous each moment, filling the apartment with the strains of Tully us'.v. which were kept time to by the clatter of a score of feet. "Isu t it a pity that a body can't stay lon-, ger r, murmured a pretty voting woman with a consumptive flush on ber cheek, as, at the . close of this dauce, she caught up a sleepy child in her arms, aud prepared to leave the i barn. ' See w hat it is to be married, Mrs. Fa- ' gan. with half a dozen childbreu and with a sigh of real regret, the fair young mother de , parted. "Nancy the crathur's sorry to go so early," I said Mrs. Faugan, uoddiug her large head gravely, as a whiff of wind, consequent on the : opening aud closing of the door, blew through ; the barn.

"J wouldn't like to make the thrial, Mrs Fairan." j "Maybe ye think ye'd get auy o' them ye i liked," retorted Mrs. Fa can. "Ay. and them 1 didu't like, maybe, too." said Pety. There was a shout raised at this ; and as Focertv's tail figure stood erect iu lite middle j of the barn, muttered sentences cf " Bad luck to h's impudence? Set Idm up indeed."

The night,though breezv, bad a warmth very unusual at that season of the year. It was already November, and still j the blackberries hang on the bramble bushes, and the hoarse crook of the rail could be heard fßr in the meadows. Penis aud Nelly took a short cut through the fields, and for some time their walk was pursued iu silence. At last Penis spoke "I'm tbiukiu' Nelly, you can't care for me as much as I care for you, or you wouldn't vex me the way you do, dancin' and coherin' wid that ill-conducted fellow, Peter Fogerty,forniut every body." j " What can I do when he spakes to me V asked Nelly,iu a slightly offended tone.

"The counthry s talkiu' of ye all round, saviu' xer ! makin' a fool o' me" "\\ ho cares what the counthry says?" said Nelly, whose eye flashed in the starlight ; " it I says many's the thing that isu't true." "But Nelly, I ve got eves mvseif," murmur ed Ryan. "Piuny !" exclaimed the girl passionately, if I thought you doubted me. eveufor amiu , uit, I'd lave you at wooust ? I'd never opeu my lips to bid ye the time o' day again !" Aud ! as she uttered the words her proud tace looked prouder than ever. " Were ooe o' Pat Dii- 1 lon's chiidher counted to tell lies : and haven't I I told you over and over again, that I'd never care for one as I care for you." | " I know that Nelly j but " "Not a sintince more !" interrupted Nelly, j "you've got my word that's enough w , The white walls of farmer D.lion's house ; now rose up to view It was a comfortable domicile, clean and tidy, and more commodious than the generality of such houses in Ireland It had its yard aud garden, its detached out-. I offices ; and the goodly-siied hagert in the rear was still stockexi w.th potatoes, waiting to be dug out for winter and spring use. There was hay and straw in abundance, already ga thered in, and altogether an a.r of peace and plenty reigned around the rustic home. Pat was as honest a man as Tipperary could boast of ; and Tipperary has its true "hearts as well as any other county in Ireland Not one of thcin bad ever cracked a .-kail, or fired a: a landlord iu his life : and no relative of the fam; !y, for the last thirty years, had been hung, which was saying a good deal *>f the f.p|ieraiy respectability of the Dillons. Pat had two daughters The older one a steady, dark-haired maiden who eschewed dances and merry meeting* ; the other our fair friend, Neiir, who was the youngest of the family, and pet and pr.de of the house. The farmer had for some time been aware that Penis Ryan wi* attached to his pretty daugh ter ; aud as he belonged to a fatniiy quite as respectable A- his ou. and was. moreover, a well-conducted, handsome you: .: fellow. neti er he nor his wde had any objections to a match uking place between the young people.; Peuis had, certainly nothing to fear from his sweetheart's parents ; but there were t a.es when a dread entered his breast that Nelly was only iLfiuenvred by uer family in receiving his attentions and tolerating bis addresses. There were dark rumor* afloat that she and Peter Fogerty had been lovers, even in childhood ; and well be knew that, as a wild lad in Li teens, Peter had hovered round Nelly continu ally devoted to her every w >b.

"The saints be good to us, n ejaculated Kitty, as she placed a loaf oo the table ; but it was evident that the information caused her com paratively little emotion—not that she was par ticularly se!fi-h or hard-hearted, but she was a Tipperary damsel, and accounts of midnight murders, or daylight assassinations, could not be expected to affect her nerves verv power fully. At the time we write of, and, mayhap, it is pretty much the same at the present pe ; riod, there was scarcely a resident couutrv gen {tleman in the county that did not exjiect to have his life terminated at some time or other by a shot fired from behind a hedge, or whose death, under such circumstances, would have caused more than a few moments' surprise to his neighbors. To hear that a man was mur ■ dered in this Itreult, occasioned about as much 1 wonder as might have been excited iu any other place by the that a neigh -1 bor s cow or horse was discovered drowned in , a pond. "Grogan was a qniet man, then," iaid Kitty as she went ou getting breakfast. "He was betlier, may lie. than them that'll come iu his place," said Dillon, shaking his I head; but vou see he did something to vex them fellows that keeps the stiil above Knoek shea, and its likely they were bent ou kiiiiu' him." " I wonder had Pety Fogartv arv hand in it?" said Kitty. " I wouldn't put it pat him," observed Dil lon, gravely; "an' if there's anything I mislike it's that sort of underhand murder. W'hr, a regular fair fight's another d 2Vrent thing—it's i honest xxork : but waylayiu' an on-uspectiu" man's cowardly and tbief like.' And having uttered this sentiment the farmer proceeded to eat a hearty, homely breakfast. During the repast Nelly had not spoken much; but a quick flush passed over her face whenever her father or sister mentioned the name of Fogartv ; and by the tone in which both spoke of him, it was verv evident that tbey had a marked meaning in coudemaicg Lis mode of fife, j "If I had my will," said Di'.lon, ' I would n't ish ever to see Pety inside the dour." "For I either." replied Kitty "I don't know now it is,or what the cause of it ean be. but fie makes me tLrtmLe u most v* L.u i see him " "Then why does he ever come here?" a-ked her father. " It's not to see me. FIB sore; fur him an' I isn't in a:iv ways fnen'ir tbis long time: an' now I'll be stiff ali out wid him oo account of this business of Grogan.

That she was agitated, ar.d yet eDdeav or.rg to suppress a.'! s-gn of emotion was verv evident "Fogarty's father was a dacect ma.c." said D...0u, after a pause ; "an hun ac' I were com races many a year ago.

" D'ye hear, little girl—an' mind it's yer father's spukiu' to ye—if I knew ! you to give Forgarty the lai?t encouragement !in the worl', I'd niver look at you more Promise now—there's a good colleen, an' ye needn't look so frightened—that ye won't spake i to him oyer again, more than to bid him the time o' day." The girl was sileut; her brothers looked grave, with eyes bent on the floor. " \Y ill ye spake out, Nelly D.liou?" cried the father in a tone of authority. Still the girl stood silently before him ; Imr 1 face pale as ashes, and an indignant ligl t j burning in her eye. Seldom before had Pat Dillon spoken so hastily to his pet child ; bnt now he was trembling with passion, as he again seized her arm, exclaiming— " Say that you'll not spake or dance any more with Pety Fogartv, as ye value yer fath er's ood opinion, and dou't stand tht!"

" Bedad if the Tip'rary lads id keep their sperit to work in the fields, in place of sboot ; in' all afore them, there id be greater comfort undher every roof," said Dillon, with determi nation.

Taming hastHr around Kitty beheld her mother and Bet Fagan standing in the kitchen. '•Where's Nelly !" she exclaimed in surprise. '• How would I know?" ; coined Mrs. D.'lon sharply. She was a determined faced woman, about fifty, most industrious and most strong, with one of those unbending inp'aca b!e stvles of visage often beheld among Uoaest folk. * • The sorra rigkt o' Nelly we seen the night,' replied Bet Fagan, shortly. • Thin, she w;ot to meet ye jost aftber din er," replied K.ttv ; " out maybe the thunder scared her and die didn't go oc." '■ Wnat way did ycome 7 " demanded Dil'ot. " The way we aiwavs come—over the hiiis and throegb the Scoily gap," said Mrs. Dillon. '• She mast have m.sseii yon somewhere." repi.ed Fat.

" Wnere is she ar.yho* ?' broke in Kitty, in a tone of concern, for sundry v*gu terrors w re muting throagh her miud, not the least of whsch was that Nelly might have met with untimely end from a stroke of lightning.
