A LEGEND OF IRELAND
In the land of Saint Patrick—" the gem of the
sea,"
When racing, and hunting, and gazing held
. sway,
Ere its fame and Its kings bad sunk to repoSe,
Time almost forgot—so an old legend goes;
oqa be ibis and be that—don't tidal: me an

One Thomas 3friloy. 'ail a. knife, killed the
I have it imm Fagan. of Carrick-on•suir,
W ho swore to myself, at his own cabin door.
That from father to son it hair been banded
down; •
Bat that he only knew it, of all in the town.
"'Toms this way," said Fagan, and he drew a
long sigh,
An' wiped wail his sleeve. a. big tear from his
eye:
" Tom Maley wasa lad to sportin' mnch ffiVeD;
The Joi!hest boy In the Parish then livin';
The best and the worst—at a (odic or fair
Where the tight was the thickest, sbure Tom
wuukt be , there.
At the race or the hunt, his warmth knew no
bounds.
He'd ride the best horse, and be next to the
E=Ell=l!
houerls.
Not a horse In all Ireland—nor the warren be
side,,
That the dare-dicil Tom was Meared for to ride;
Ate he'd straddle his back with such ilkgant
grace,
And sit him so lightivited sure win the race
flu was light in the dance., an' his voice was as
swine
As the olglitingale's warble of love to his mate;
An' his Jokes, and his wit were laughal at by
all;

An as usually follows such wild occupation,
Cam drinkin' an ' oami n an' like dissipation,
Until he was look eded at askance by each mother
'Who had a Cullom that may be he might
bother,
The girls liked him well; he'd a kind word for
nil.

Sweet Mary'Deiany, a fairy-like smite,
The pride of the Parish, and Tom's bacon light
Murtougn Delany kept a balance in bank,
Well fixed, as they say, but widuut sword or
rank,
An Mary, his pet, the pride of his home,
tons as charming a creature as ever was known;
An' many's the youth come of high pedigree,
For a smildlonn sweet Mary, would go on the
knee.

Was in lore wid her too, altbougb be was mum.
Co onee mhen•thep met in her father's big grove,
After much tribulation, lie told her his lore.
'Sure, 31ary: says be„,•,l have long loved yon
well,
Bet always lacked courage my feelings to tell;
Its throe em will, hut wid ye far my wife,
I'm shure I would live a more virtuous life,'
31ary trembled arid blushed, and grew very
But she candidly told him that would not avail
Her lather had said his character was hard,
An' her 'mete, the Praist, bid her to be on her

And yet what she looked in his soul speaking
( "Ye.

For in tr: th she loved Tom with all her young,

But with Ids head fall of whisky, Tom left the

Off he went in the dark, with wild impreca

Indeed, trouble for Tom was wearing her life, •
And where be but exorcised, she'd glad tie his

In the Pariah there lived an ould hag named
Malune—
Ouid Melly bad knowledge, they said, not her
own;
Now Molly knew Mary hived Tom over well,
And woold willing y helu her to break up the
spell
One morning, when Mrtry sat listless, alone,
w:iu should come in but ould Mary Malone,
'Arrah, Mary: said she, Will great wisdom

'Your tmulilin' ne in, raiz I know what ye'ro

Ye're thinklif of Tom, when It's almost h.*

An' that you are the cause of his unholy state;
But never mind, darlint, all yet will he right,
Tom can save himself still, and this very night!
Mary started, on hearing her very thoughts
spoken.
And confetsed that she loved Tom, In language
much bmken
Then she begged of mild Molly, to hasten that
hour,
'To deprive' the bad spirit of its infamous power.
'Rest eisy, me darlini! said Molly, 'asthorv,'

With Mara in her eyes, Mary thanked the old
hag,
And gave her some clothes, and put tea in her
bag.
And then hastened off to prepare for the strife,
By finding Mr Tom s good bl..ck handled knife.
W nen• there's will :here's a way, and long be-

'Till she'd tell hint the news she'd brought from

And advised him to try it and not be afotid,
But Tom shuck his Lead—dwspair in his thee,
Fur the fiend was before. him wid horrid grim

And the poor fellow trembled—grew white as a

Yet Mary saw nothing but tha pain Tom was

To rid him that nightor the bead's pollution.
In the neighborhood stood an ould ruined ab-

Whose walls had long since become jagged and

Wlente monks, in past ages, assembled to pray,
And thither did Tom wend his ‘II,II6SORIC way,

So Tom dray him up, right underiGe cmss

And the breezes blew zephera of tropical balm,
But the spirit was gone, and bust where be stood,

A roast; man named Gill, of Gaines,
Mich., went to,bed and dreamed that a
tree ;nut tailing towards him. In his
fnuttic•efforts to escape he jumped into

Schoolmaster of Rus—
sian Bar;
[From the San ' Francisco Californian.]
"MIEN is he expected?"
They " said ho was coming in to
night's stage."
"fie taught in Frisco, didn't ho ?"
" Yes, I guess he wa! in that depart
ment.'
The Doctor's wife was an authority on
all matters hi Russian Bar, and on this
last sensation—the coining or a school
master—she freely enlightened her neigh
bor, Mrs. Blunt. a plump widow, whose
miner-husband had died a few mouths
before.
There was a& much to gossip abbtit in
that quiet village. The arrival and de
parture of the stage brought the people
to their doors three times a week, and if
a stranger was noticed, envoys were im
mediately despatched to the hotel to learn
his mime and business and the probable
leagth of •his stay..
But now Russian Bar was to have a
new schoolmaster, and the folks wonder
ed much if he would have any trouble
with Sam. Seymour, the butcher's boy, or
Ike Walker, an unruly spirit, who had
knocked down and pummeled the lust
preceptor. who undertook to teach him
school-discipline. The trustees were pow.
erkes in these matters, and declared that
if a schoolmaster was not able to "get
away" with the boys in a square stand-up
tight, he might as well pick up his traps
and leave Russian Bar.
On the very evening of the expected
arrival, Seymour and Walker, the leading
spirits among the mutinous school boys
—met at a pool from which both were en
deavoring to coax a few speckeled trout
fur supper.
" Hove yon beand what the new chap
is like. Si ?" `said Ik.. as he impaled a
wriggle worm on his hook.
" No. hare con ?"
"Father told Jake, the barkeeper, that
be was very young."
•
" And small ?'
" Yes."
"Gaels he won't slay long in town,
Ike ?"
"I guess not, Sam. School ain't very
good fur you and me such flue weather as
th is."
The worthies sat tvi - hed in silence
for some- time, and thenfike produced a
hunch of cigarettes, ankpassed them to
his friend. At last, finding that the fish
would not bite, they shouldered . their
poles and struggled np towards the village,
pursing for a moment to stone a China
man's rooster which had strayed too far
from the protecting wash-house.
TIIE ECLIOOLMASTEIL
Philip Houghton was o sehe'olvnueter
from necessity, :aid not taste. Like many
who have been educated as gentlemen in
one sense of the word, that is. without
the acquaintance with any special pursuit
that might be turned to good account in
the struggle fur bleat!. lie found himself
adrift in California, w;th nothing to WI
back upon. Seeing an advertisement in
a city paper for a competent teacher to
take charg e of the school at Russian Bar,
he attiswered it and was accepted at a ven
ture. Putting his few moveables togeth
er—a pair of old foils and a set of well
worn boxing gloves, for Houghton was
an accomplished borer and fencer—he
bought his ticket for Russian Bar.
He found the stage driver a communi
cativ,.. pleasant fellow, who, at his request,
described the characteristics of his future
home. Indeed, his description -of the
class of boys,.-whom Houghton was to
take charge of, wag not very encourag
ing:
" You'll find them a hard lot, and
they're all on 'em on -the muscle, too." be
said.
" What is shoot the weight of my old
est?" asked Houghton, good humoredly.
" lon see, if I um going to be. obliged en
exercise something more than moral sua
sion, I want to get posted on the physique
of me men."
" Well, Sam Seymour is about the
strongest."
" And what is about the size of the re
doubtable Ike !"
" Well, I guess he tops you by half a
head."
"0, I expect we wilt get along well
enough together," said wilt.
; and
I suppose this is the first glimpse of Rus
sian Bar ?" he added, as a turn in the
Nall brought them in view of that pictu
resque village.
The stage bowled along the smooth
road, and past the great white oak, under
whose friendly branches the teamsters
were accustomed to make their noon-time
halt.
" I'll set Son down at the hotel," said
the stage driver. "There's Perkins, the
proprietor, that fat man, smoking on the
amp."
Houghton confess.Nl to himself that
the prospect bore him was anything but
a prepossessing one. He was not of a ve
ry combative nature, though he liked a
little
tlaii„,—er for the excitement; bat a ,
game of tistieuff with a duty, mutinons..,
ho”, had neither glory nor honor for a
man that had been one of the hardest

The folks were all in their doors when
the stage clattered up. the single street,
and the slender, good-looking young man
by the driver, was measured and canvass
ed before that worthy had passed the
mail to the doctor, who, with his medi'
cal avocations, also found time to ''run" -
the post office.
-The Doctor's. wife was at her window,
and after a long survey of the schoolmas.
ter,hastened to communicate her opin
ions to Mrs. Blunt. Meanwhile, 'Hough
ton trashed off the red dust of the road,
and took his seat at the
.supper-table.—
the driver had introduced him to about
a dozen of the. leading citizens during
the frw moments that intervened between
the arrival of the stage and their evening

When Houghton iirdsis uext morni ng,
and opened his •windo* to IWe 'fresh
breeze, odorous with thelperfume of the
climbing honeysuckles, hS felt that after
all, a residence in a - remote village, even
e,
with a parcel of rough ys to take care
of, was preferable to the dusty,tinfainil
liar streets of San Franc sco. He smiled
as lie unpacked- his f ils and boxing
gloves, a little sadly to , for they were
linked with many pleasi g associations of
his under graduate day
" Well," he solilognis , as he straight
enediiis arm and look at the finely de
veloped muscles, "I ou ht to be able!to
s
l
hold my own in a stair up fi ght with
these troublesome pup s s of mine. This
is my day of' trial, ho , ever, and befo're
noon we shall probablyißavetuul our bat
tle out"
.-
The school-house, a' raw, unfinished
looking frame building, stood hard.hy the
river, at about half a mile from the town.
When Houghton opened the riekety wood
en gate that led into the school "lot, he
found •ii group of 60111.3 twenty bays al
ready assembled. Among them were Ike
Seymour and Sam Walker. The latter's
sister, a pretty girl of sixteen, was lean
ing against the fence with half a dozen
of her friends, for the Russian Bar school
house was arranged for the accommoda
tion of both sexes.
Houghton handed the key to the near
est boy, and asked him to open the door.
Wilh a look at the others, aud a half grin
on his face, he obeyed.
Now, boys, muster in," said Hough
ton cheerfully.
They all passed in--Seymour and
Walker last. The latter took a good look
at the echoohna•ter as he went by. When
they were seated. Houghton stool at his
desk, and laid a heavy ruler ou the books
before him.
" Now, boys," he said, " I hope we
shall get along pleasantly together. You
treat ine fairly and you shall have no rea
son to complain, I promise you. Silence
and obedience is what I regaire, and a
strict attention to the matter of our in
struction."
Giving them a portion of the grammar
to prepare fur recitation, he walked quiet
ly up and down the room, occasionally
standing at the windows, but appearing
to ke.p no surveillance on the boys.—
Soddenly the crack of a match was heard,
ful:owed by a generattitter.
lioughtZin turned quietly from the
window, and 4.l;.x.,,Tprpa the blue smoke
rmm a cigarette arising from where Sey-
mour sat
" What is your name, boy ?" he asked
sternly.
" My name's Seymour," replied the mu
tineer, insolently.
" And are you smoking ?"
" I guess so."
‘ Leave the room."
" I guess not."
There was a dead silence in the school
room now, and Houghton felt that the
boor of trial was at hand.
" Seymour:" he said again, very quiet
ly—
" What ?"
" Gime here."
Seymour, putting his han - 4'
pockets, sauntered from his desk, : stood,
within a yard of the. schoolmaster,, and
looked sneeringly in his face. . .
" Leave the room," said Houghton, in
a lower voice.
No." . •
The lithe arm straightened like a flash
of lightning, and the rebel measured .his.
length upon the floor, whilst the blood
gushed from his nostrils.
In a moment he sprang tO"feet, and
rushed furiously at the schoolinitster, but
went down again like a reed before that
well-aimed blow. The second time he
fell lionghton stooped down, and lifting,
him lip us it he had been a child; fairly
fluty , him outside the door.
Simone, confused and amazed, stag
gered down , to the brook to wash his face,
and reflect on the wonderful force of that
slight arm. And Iloughton, turning to
the school without a word of comment
on the late scene, commenced the recita.;
tions
Walker was mum.' Srymenr's fate'bad
appalled him, and in tact, the entire mu
tinous spirit of the scholars of Russian
Bar, was in a fair .way of being totally,
subdued. '
When the trustees beard of the affair
they unanimously commendl.ll the school
master's pluck.
" I tell you what, boys," said Perkins to
a crowd, who were earnestly engaged at a
game of old sledge in his bar room, "that
Honghton Irene% a thing; or two about
managing•linys. He'll Gs 'cm off, or my
name awl Perkins."

Houghton was hospitably treated by
tho folks of Russian Bar. They felt him
to be a man of refinement brought down
in the world, but sheering no 'offensive
superiority in his intercourse with them.
The Docts'ra wife, pronounced" him the
heat New Yorker she had ever met, and
the gossips insinuated that Mrs. Blunt;
tho widow, was setting her captor him.
Gypsy Lane, the daughter of a leading
man in Russian Bar, and made wealthy,
by a saw mill, all-day-long groaned and
screamed some distance down the, river,

They walked on, and gypsy swung her

Gypsy said nothing, but her eyes turn

was resting ori-his shoulder. .

A Lesson In Brotherly- Kindness.
WE have yet to see in the. Southern
newspapers any'expression of feeling call
ed:forth by the Boston' fire other thansthe
most sympathetic and kindly. f Remem
bering that Boston was for along time, to
the Southern mind, the representative of
the anti slavery movenient,and afterwaxils
of loyalty to the Union ;andthat her ani
mus and policy were antagonistic to the
Sonth in a large measure, these warm
and cordial expressions of sympathy fronr
that quarter call fora recognition equally
pronounced and heartfelt. The donation
from Chicago has been felt to be peenli
arly sympathetic and' full' of Weaning;
Brit the intelligence that, in Charleston,
S. C., and other places in. the. South, et
forts`are being made to' send relief to our
fire sufferers, and the receipt on Saturday
of a check from the late Confederate Sec
retary of tfinTriainiy 'tire &Chi of deep
