THE 311SEM
[C9o4aFte4.].-;`,:
. . . ,
, Connor's patience or rather impatience, that
night • was. severely taxed.' Hour after hour
elapsed, and yet Bartle did' not return. At
length he went to his father's sleeping-room,
and informed hint of the•message he had sent
through Flanagan to Una.-
~, . . .• ~.
' I will sleep in the barn to night, father,' he
added; an' never fear, lot us talk as we may,
but we'll be.up early enough in:the morning,
plase God. I couldn't sleep, pr. go to Sleep,
till I hear. what news he kfings back to us; so
do you rise and secure thesdoor, an' I'll Make
my'' shake.dOwn wid Bartle for, this night.'
The father, who never refused. him any.
'thing un-pecuniary, (if we may be allowed the
womi,) did as the son requested him, and again
went to bed, unconscious of the, thundercloud
which was soon to burst upon them both.
Bartle, however, at length returned, -and
Connor had the satisfaction of hearing that his
faithful Una wont& meet him,, the next night,
r.i,
if possible, at the tour Of twelve o'clock, in
her father's Naga. Her parents it appeared
I had laid an imunetton upon her never to see
him again; she wa4- watched too, and unless
: when the household were tialeeli, she found it
altogether impracticable to effect any appoint.
ment whatsoever, with her lover. She could
not even promise with certainty to meet him
on that night, but ;she desired ,him to come,
and if she failed toibe punctual, not to leaVe
the place of appointment for in,hour. Alter
that, if she appeared not, then ho was to wait
'no longer. Such was the purport of the mess.,
age which Flanagan delivered him
Flanagan- was the first up the next morning,
for the purpose of keeping an appointment
which he had with giddy Neil, whom we have'
already introduced to the reader. On being
taxed with meanness by this Weak but honest
creature, for having sought service with the
man who bad reine his family, he promised,
to acquaint her with the true: motive which
had induced him tonter into Fardorougha's
employment . Their conversation" on - this ,
point, however,' was merely a love scene, in
which Bartle-satisfied the credulous girl, that',
to an attachment for herself of some months'
standing, might be tiscribed his'humiliation in i
becoming a servant to the oppressor and des-,
troyer of his house. Ho, then, passed from'
themselves and their prospeCts to Conner and
Una O'Brien, with whose attachment for,eaeh
other. as the reader knows„ s he was first made
acquainted by his fellow servant. .
• It's terrible, Biddy,' said. he, ' to think of
the black and revengeful heart' that Connor
bears to Bodagh Buie and .fila family, merely'
bekase they refuse to let hint marry Una.--1
11'm afeared:Biddy darlin', thatthere'll be dark
work about it on Connor's side ; an' if yoi 1
heaf:efanything bad happeniti' to the Bodaghii
you'll know where it comes from.',
• I don't &Here it, Bartle, norl won't blievd
it—not, any way, till I hear that it, happens,—.
But what is it he intinds to do to them?'
That's more than I knots. myself,'yl replied
Itartlo; .1 axed as - much, aii" he said till it was
done nobody would be the:wiser' •
'That's (pare,' said the girl, for a better
heart than Connor has; the darer o' the world
never made:
You think so, ag,ra,but cimit'do!you watch,
rod you'll find that he don't come in to-night:
I know nothin myself of what he's about, for
he's as close as his father's parse, an' as deep;
as a draw-well, ay, an' as fair-faced as a dit:Fli
when he wants to- tempt a priest; but this I i
know, that he has black business on hishands,l
whatorer it is. Be the crass, F thrimblo to
think of it.'
Flanagan then got tencler,'and, afterpressing
his snit with all the eloquence hewas master
of, they separated, he to his ; littor in the fields,
and she to her domestic employment, and the
unusual task of watching the motions of her
master's son.
.•
Flanktan, in the course o£ . the day; FF012411,-

nWIt. alxo in the ham.
The time of meeting, he said, was too late,
and hia father's family, who were early in their
hours both night and monaing,would be asleep
before they set out. He alSo added, that lest
any of-the O'Briens Or their retainer} should
surprise him and ILTrui.he had made up his mind
to accompany him, and.aet as a bidetii, during
their interview.
Connor felt this - devotion of Bartle to his
dearest interests, as every glateful and gener
ous heart would. r '
• 'Bartle,' said he, ' when we area married, if
it's ever in my power,to make you airy in life

[ • At length the hour for setting out arrived,
and both; armed with good •oaken bedgels,pro.

I arrived a little before the appointed hour. An
utter stillness prevailed around the place—hot
a dog barked—not a 'breeze blew, nor did a
leaf move-on-its stem, so calm and warm was
the night. Neither _moon nor stars [shone in
the firmament, and the darkness seemed kindly
to throve its dusky Mantle over this sweet sad
stolen interview of our young lovers. As vet,
however, Una had not; come, nor could Con;
nor, on surveying the largo massy firm..heitse
rof the Bodze.rh, perceive any appearance lof
'light; or bear, a single sound, however faint,
to break the stillness in which it slept. Bar.

' So ill just keep dodOn' about, from place, to

Heavily and lazily creep those moments 4u

Flanagan, it appeared, was of the samd
pinion, for in a minute or two ho made him in
