The_garden at the rear of the edma fOrtable,-*Whitewashed, thickly thatch ed cabin Was abundantly stocked with early. cabbages and potatoes ; every thing bore the look of humble pros perity ; from the blue smoke curling lip from the freihly made fire on the kitchen hearth, to the green meadows where the cows were lying, peacefully ruminating. A broad river, glisten ing in the sun's rays, rolled smooth ly beside the Wunder) wall of their pasture. Yet Kate Moran stood at her fath er' § door, looking sadly,,ftenuai- the river to the mass of sl4pp , iug, houses and spires which rose on the other side. • - " Mother, honey, I can't -keep -my eyes off that dreadful place !" said she, turning as she spoke to an elder ly woman who sat knitting on a bench near the fire. . . " Musha, nuashn; what goodll that do ye 2" said she, rising 'and going to the docl. also. " Conie in, now," put ting her hand on her daughter's shoulder caressingly. " Oh, mother! To think o' the poor fellow bein'—" here she fairly broke down and burst into a wail of distress. Whisht now 1" cricd)ier mother. " Here's your feither comixe, and don't let him see ye cryin'." Kate ran hastily into a bedroom, as her father entered the-kitchen. " There's no chance for the poor craythur, Pat ?" asked his wife, as a broad-faced, good-humored looking man came forward and sat down on the settee. " Chance ?" said he, roughly, while his face clouded. " Sorry. chance! He'll be hurt. , b as sure as I've this pipe in um han:d." " Lord," have m , :rcy on his sowl, the craythur 1" moanld his wife.

The rod light seemed to be concen trated on one part of the blinding, where there was an iron gateway, spiked and double-locked. Far above m the dark massive walls was a small black door. And beneath this door c and around this gateway, men were busy, putting up strong timber rail ings -;--while a crowd, talking and ges ticulatbW constantly pressed in among the workmen, and wore driven back by officials in uniform, and a few soldiers. Inside the massive Walls, other workmen were busy, brit ' the work was commonplace enough. Some thing was wrong with the main sew er of the kul. Masons and bricklay ers had been laboring for some hours; and now when the city docks and bells were striking six, they were tak ing up their tools,_puttang on their coats, and leaving their work till-next day, . There were no roUghjests among them. One man laughed as his com panion. slipped down into the slimy ditch'whence they had emerged ; but his merriment was checked by an in voluntary look , from the. others to wards the far side of the yard, where a man in a felon's dress and with manacled hands was walking slowly . . up and down.. ; " Lord have mere' , on his sowl !" muttered an old mason, compassion " Pc' or Welsh!

As he entered- the - kitchen he ran against the smith, Martin Leary, who was staring about him. ' Martin, you're true and holiest, I know; and you'd do a good turn as soon as any man I know," said Pat Moran, abruptly. "There's me hand on it," returned the smith, bringing down his black fist on the other's , shoulder. In a few, words he was told what was required of him, and also of the bright thought that had just occurred to Pat Mouin. " Here 1 Let me at it," cried the smith, enthusiastically grasping his chisel and hammer. Thereupon the farmer led him into the little room, where Kate was administering hot tea and smoking - griddle cake-to the'poor fellow, who , ate and drank almost me chanically, with his eyes fixed on the pretty face and busyJhauds that min istered to him. "Here, Tim's some one to do you a good turn. Horrid out your hands, Me boy !

" Now come on 1 It is time you were, at your work ; his name's Maurice Slattery, Kate, and he's wud us this month back!" • " Oh, father, honey ! Oh, Pat, acushla !" cried the Wife and daugh ter. with admiration. The young man, taking the pipe from his mouth, said solemnly, "May -God forzrsr bless you, Pat Moran, an' you Mrs. Moran. an' you Kate, an' you Martin Leary," and he grasped their hands all round. " Come, 'tis six o'clock," said the farmer. " Ton 'know where the plow Maurice Slattery. You've a - new piece of iron to melt, Martin. And, KW, you've to bnry them t clothes. Come, en' I'll show you where." Half an hour afterwards he was riding slowly to thd fair on his young horse, which was to be sold, casting cau tious glances backward at the field by the river, where he could see his horses plowing, and his new servant boy toiling quietly after them. Such con fusion and excitement had not been known for years in the old 'cathedr.il town. Police there were. none in those days ; but the whole garrison had turned out in search of the es: coped felon. Groups of red-coats TAM pe bulated the- streets, the roads leading to the country, and oven the lanes and meadows. Hundreds of country folk, who had come in to see the execution, also crowded the town. The throng on the prii3onbill was so ;dense that the farmer co uld scarcely proceed a step. Th€ 4, were all talk; ing vociferously in Irish or English, every one giving his or her version of the wonderful story. Some declared that the .Prisoner had not escaped and that it was a device of the au thorities to conceal some foul play. When Pat Moran had elbowed his way frith great difficulty alniost to the prison gates, he looked eagerly for the objects of his search, some of Tim's own people, whom he disclv ered sitting and standing together in 'an excited group. "Pat Moran, d'ye bleeve this ?" said one of the men, hoarsely, clutch ing the farmer's coat. D'ye Meow: that poor Tim , has got out 'of their cursed thrall ?" " John Welsh, Tim did get out." " Whisht I Lord save us 1" they all broke in with one voice. " Trisn'tf safe to say niore.

A venturesotne spirit even crept up a few dozen yards of ' = :; ::r the 'black - passage,.but speedily re ttrued, 'vo.wing that nothing would live half an hour in it. -z -Nevertheless, they sought for foottimiks on the riv er brink ; bat,-.:the friendly tide had been before them.
