A OUEAn.
In search of the groat fcstlvnl, I wan
dered between Mt. Carmcl nnd Locust
Gap, and as night came on, tired and be
wildered, and lost In tho mountains, I
found myself at tho entrance of a wild se
cluded cave, all overhung with brambles
and briar vines, so that it was difficult
without much perseverance to pcrccivo it
and then obtain entrance. 1 learned since,
that it is made ft sacred spot, as Iho secret
jilaco of retirement of High Sheriff Hester,
when disgusted with the vanities of tho
world, and for holy meditation and prayer.
I reclined on tho moss cwercd ground,
and soon sank into a profound slumber,
and lay for many hours, and on awaking,
I found that a dream or vision of tho night
had fallen on mo in my deep sleep.
THE GREAT OX-ROAST
AT
LOCUST GAl' AMD MT. CARMEL.
In my dream the day was ushered in by
the liring of fifty cannon, which had been
sent on tho day before from New York in a
special car, at "the expense of tho City Trea
surer, together with a liberal supply of
powder. The. echoes were awakened on
the surrounding mountains and valleys,
like the noise often thousand thunders till
the very earth seemed to tremble, in cele
bration of this great and notable day aud
of tho approaching arrival of the distin
guished guests.
Never shone a brighter morning as the
sun began to move up grandly from tho
eastern mountain tup, touching with gulden
beauty tho surrounding landscape ; the
birds having finished the early twitter of
their twilight music, now burst forth into
one wild anthem of joy, till the trees and
the grass and tho (lowers and the moun
tain, all seemed to join in this great jubilee
ushering in of the great Festival of " t7m
vcrral Lihcrty, .without law, or order, or
limit." The whole of this raro and une
qualcd morning scene, was one of transend
aut grandeur, nn.l un rivalled and thrilling
beauty a most lilting introduction of this
extraordinary occasion.
Soon amid the splendors of this scene
hove in sight the New York train consist
ing o' lil'ty l'tihnon I'aiace Cars, and about
one bundled freight and baggage and pas
senger cars.
The first fifty Pa'.aco cars were appropri
ated to the special use of Messrs. Tweed,
Hall, Connoly and Kelso, and equally di
vided between them, which were occupied
by them, their clerks, secretaries and trea
surers, their servants male nnd female. In
the care of the 1 reasurer of each was a largo
new safe, in which a large amount of bonds,
greenbacks and public vouchers were con
tained. Tho female servants were mostly
engaged hi the four cars, furnished with
great splendor and cost, in which were
innumerable cages of exquisite workman
ship of nightingales, and canaries, and
rare birds of beautiful plumage nnd most
admired song.
Tho passenger cars contained a number
of tho most distinguished Irish Catholic
Rioters, both men and women each one
having it club and a revolver nt his or her
side.
Several of the freight and baggage cars
were furnished with great cost, cushioned
and carpeted, with troughs and racks and
mangers of pure gold, in which wero tho
renowned horses and equipage of tho four
distinguished guests, and each horse was
attended by live grooms, all the vessels,
buckets and implements of theso palace
fitnb'iCH wero tnailu of puro gold n worn
thu bits of the br'ulies and tho mounting of
tho bnrn'ss; nnd the shoes of tho horses
wero of pure gold. One of tho passenger
cars in tho rear of the train, rather plain
and rickety, was occupied by Horace (ircc
I ly, Ix'dger Homier and Jim. Fiske, a com
j mittee appointed to take charge and custo
dy of the distinguished guests ; as they
! hud become security on t'.ieir bonds for
j their appearance at Court in New York to
i answer some little charges, that required a
little of their time on their return.
The cars were all, escept Greely & Co.,
ornamented with raro engravings in gold,
and frescoes of beautiful design and finish
festoons ol the tidiest and rarest and
most costly flowers, literally covered tho
cars, so that tho train seemed liko ono vast
(lower garden or grecn-houso in motion
and from each car were run up (lag stall's,
from which stream inuuinciable black (lags
with tho motto in large silver letters
"fiiiitrwi! Likrtij wUlwut Jmw or Unhr,
or Mint of Limit."
Five cars wero occupied bv tho special
band of Tweed & Co., who are engaged by
lHo year each day, while dinner is in pro
gress at each of their princely mansions, to
discourse music of the great masters. These
bands aro musicians of all nations, selected
with great caro aud great cxpeim, and
j brought to this country for the swcial Use
j and benefit of theso distinguished guests.
1 iieir instruments ol music wero ol im
mense cost, of all variety and curious work
manshipembracing all that was used in
the Temple worship of old.
Tho procession required u littlo time to
form, nud ufler that, speeches of welcome
were miidu by Judge Nolt, ltcpreseiiUilivu
Gallagher, and llili hliuiiilTli sler.
j Tho private cuiriago of Tweed was
j drawn by four shining jot .black stallions,

cushioned nnd covered with crimson silk.
Largo mirrors, richly ornamented, sur
rounded tho platform, nnd tho folds of a
hundred rich satin flags inscribed "Univer
sal Liberty, without law or order, stint or
limit," floated aud rustled over this kcciio ;
a soft Turkey carpet of bright pink nnd
rich Tytian blue skillfully nnd tastefully
blended, some COO yards square, said to
have cost tho New 1 ork tax-payers several
millions of dollars, covered tho green sward
on which wero great numbers of costly
sofas of various silk and satin coverings,
of tho most cosily colors to accommodate
all that large multitude. Alt theso costly
ai'Ueles, that added such enchanting beau
ty to the scene had been scut ou tho day
before by Tweed & Co.
Added to all this wero tho COO cages of
wonderful beauty nnd most delicate struc
ture containing tho immense nnd costly
collection of the rarest and most highly
priaed singing birds suspended about tho
platform and on the trees over the ground,
adding their picturesque interest to this
fairy scene.
Then tho costumes of tho prominent par
ty added still more interest to this novel
scene. All of the leading men wore largo
chapcaus, or cocked hats, covered with a
profusion of gold lace, and mounted with
feathers of the bird of Jovo. Tweed wore
regimentals, richly ornamented with yel
low nnd scarlet the coat navy blue, and
small clothes blight yellow. Hall nnd
Connely wore a similar costume. Judge
Scott wore a similar cliapeail, but in some
what strange taste wore tin immenso red
wig and a long black gown ; and iu ono
hand a large broad sword, and in the oth
er a scale on one sido engraved "equal and
exact justice" and on the other, 'Univer
sal Liberty, without stint or limit," and
strange to tell, the scale would not balance,
but "Universal Liberty" was loo heavy,
nnd went down, causing equal nnd exact
justice to "kick the beam." It is duo to
the judge to say that he could not help it,
as some Molly Maguires had fastened to
the Universal Liberty side of the scale a
black parchment, upon which was written
in letters of bright crimson "If elected
Judge, I pledge myself to reward my
friends, nnd punish my enemies."
High JShonll' Hester, imitating tho High
Sherilf of England nnd Ireland, wore an
immenso while wig covering his head and
shoulders, nnd scarlet silk regimental coat,
a cha'peau, with gold lace nnd ostrich fea
thers and yellow silk breeches, largo gold
kneo buckles, nnd toppetl boots with yel
low leather lops and large gold spurs. "l'y
his sido hung a large broad-sword, and iu
his left hand a tall spear, of polished steel ;
his gauntlets covered tho hands and the
arms up to tho elbows, wero of burnished
steel ; a bright liuht green tsh encircled
his waist and its folds and tassels swept the
ground.
As soon as tho meeting Was organized,
Tweed arose and said ho held in his hand
a. Euclitical letter from His Holiness, the
Pope, which ho read, in which allusion is
sadly made to the German Catholics de
serting Rome, and forming nn Indepen
dent Church, nnd with admonitions agaitist
tho use of newspapers, fico schools, and
against any "Uuiversal Libetty" that
would allow tho open Riblc to be used by
the people, and tho falsely so-called reli
gious freedom nnd toleration and hinting
nn admonition against tho uso of too much
roast ox. Loud shouting and thunders of
applause. Tho band played the. good old
air "Tho spider and the Fly," whereupon
.Scott replied iu elli-et :
"lie telt honored that our Holy Father
had noticed this great ox-roast Hint Ho
sympathized with the Holy Father in some
of His views of "Universal Liberty," but
one branch of it that insured the purity of
irunnvij elections and of tho ballot box was
very dear and precious to him, nnd ho felt
satisfied that these brethren iu thin holy
cause, who attended church and mass on
Sunday with him, gavo a guarantee, in
this, that they would n" in for 'Universal
Liberty, without stint and limit, law or or
der" iu having jiriiuarii elections never pe
rish from tho land for want of plenty of
votes, and tho ballot box never grow emp
ty in the belly lor want of tickets, and that
us long as he could punish his enemies nud
reward his frieuds, till would bo well.
Great applause. Tho band struck up
the patriotic tune, "The .Slink and the
Frogs."
Tweed, called on for a speech, tobo and
said : "This immenso crowd of human lie
iugs, satisfied him of tho deep interest felt
by tho people in tho great doctrine of "Uni
versal Liberty, without law, or order, or
stint, or limit." It bad been tried in New
York; and wnsarfiWdiii niirivx. His wor
thy brothers uud sisters, who gained im
mortal hoimr on the Ulli day of July last
in putting down mobs and riot by thu l'rtes
tant procession in New Yoik, agreed with
him iu thu soundness of this wise and just
doctrine. Il had also been tried iu the pub
lic treasury of New York with wonderful
success, uud not less than a hundred mil
lions of dollars taken from Iho huid earn
ings of l!io i.ixtiyeis proved its wisdom.
.Noi'thiiiiibt'iluiid county is rich iu mineral
and agriciilieral weallh ; mid her treasury
could be made to hold ten, yea, a hundred
limes more than ever. Her treasury has
done a small business apply our doctrine,

tion. The prose of finance is light taxes,
no pickings, nnd no uso of public money.
That is a dull business, and not lit for men
of enlarged minds. New York in the great
est nnd richest city in the world because
sho pays the heaviest taxes. If you want
to make Northumberland County tho great
est county in tho State, pilo ou tho taxes.
Your fanners nnd your mechanics, aud
mine operators, nnd your workingmcn can
n fiord lo pay ten times heavier taxes, and
they will bo proud of it. Stand up to tho
great doctrine of "Universal Liberty," con
trol primary elections by any means and
tho ballot box, nnd if you want help, send
on to us and wo will send you the boys.
Tho cannon fired, tho people shouted,
nnd the band Jilayed the touching nir:
"The cirl with tho golden locks."
High Sheriff Hester responded iu a few
brief, nervous remarks, and said : "Uni
versal Liberty" for him. A leau treasury
is a darned mean thing. It's like the empty
belly of nn ox, fill it tin with wntcr and the
beast looks well ', or like a collapsed gum
bag, blow her up with wind nnd she looks
full. A full treasury, a tinger in the pie,
nnd nil tlm profits nnd power and honor of
the High Shcrilfof Northumberland county.
Friend Scot for our Judge, and ho will
"reward his frieuds and humble his ene
mies.' Universal shouting, clapping of hands
and hurrahing for High Sheriff Hester and
Judge Scott. The band played the old
tnnglcil-foot air : "Coming thro' the rye 1"
Father I Iecker was called on for a speech.
He rose deliberately, nnd in a loud and
solemn voice said : I have watched tho
signs of the times, and I declare in presenco
of this immense assembly that before this
century is ended the lioinnn Catholic reli
gion will bo tho national religion, and tho
Government be under tho control of the
church, and Ihen for the great doctrine of
"Universal Liberty."
Much cheering." The band played "a
good time coming, boys."
Tho editor of the lublrt ot Now York,
nn organ of tho Irish llomau Catholic
Church, was called on and said ".
The Roman Church is higher nnd nbove
nil government, aud the government must
depend on And be subject to tho church.
The lpo, tho head of the church must be
the head of tho government.
Loud cheering. The band played the
favorite nir, "Dance, Juba, dance."
( hie of the brethren, who was distinguish
ed for his bravery on the lth July, said :
We abide our time. Never again shall a
lVotestaut procession celebrate in New
York the battle of tho Uoyne, for two or
three hundred men and women occupying

large public meeting in New York the night
of the 12th of July, nnd would repent it here
again.
Honrs and shouts firing of cannon. Tho
baud jilayed the plaintive nir : "Come
Mary to tho window, thy truo love is here."
The sisters each wore a largo while tur
ban with a black ostrich feather in tho top;
bloomer costume of scarlet silk, the skirt of
thu coat reaching only to tho knee ; a low
cavalry boot covering the leg, and an ample
white, sash encircling tho waist and its folds
reaching the feet.
One of the sister.heroines of Iho 12th July
was called on and she sang n seeeli iu a
loud, shrill voice, the burden of which was,
that the water of the iioyno was cursed
alter tho battle, and since then lish cannot
live in it, nor man nor beast can drink of
it and live. Then why try to bring it into
New York every 12th of July to poison
their families and their children r That
she and her brave sisters would die lighting
rather than let the l'rotcstant poison water
of the IJoyuo comu lo New York.

At tho head of the procession was a largo
nnd beautiful niileh-whito ox of jierleet
grace, and beauty, livery curve and lino
of his naudsomo form was full of grace and
symmetry his hair soli as silk, his dewlap
hung lovely as the fleecy cloud just softened
into life by iho fainled lay of tho setting
sun, his horns expressive of gentle and
aristocratic blood in his veins for centuries,
his ears seemed formed T)f tho most, delicate
artist wax and told too of his noble lineage,
and his large deep 1 loqtu nt eye told of an
indwelling spmt, that gavu lone to that
mild, reflective, wonderful face. Never
before was seen a bovine face, that possessed
such a strange weird fascination. Once
beheld, tho imauo was ever present haunt
ing by its mysterious power your waking
and your sleeping hours. This wonderful
creature of such ivmarkablu beauty, was
decorated with diamonds nud precious
jewels, and cosily silks aud laces of fabulous
prices, mid carlaiids of flowers, of such
delicious perfume and such exquisite forms,
and such color of da.ling richness, that
Araby, nnd all,lier spices nud flowers must
have, contributed lo thu ndorumeiil of this
creature, and yet nil so rich and enchanting

They seemtI to represent rot.'W.i of IhjH,
from some purer, higher world than ours.
One seemed to hold in ono hand an im
menso open bag, on which was inscribed
"Universal Liberty without law or order,
stint or limit." and in tho other a lingo
club. Tho oilier seemed to be pouring
continually a great multitude of miniature,
articles into tho bug, which formed nn in
cessant strenm and seemed as if ten thous
and times more than sufficient fo till it,
On closo inspection, on this multitude of
miniature pieces going into the basj, was
discovered engraved "Free l'ress," "Tho
llallot llox," "Frco Procession," "Free
Colcbration," "Free Speech," "Freo Con
science," "Light Taxes," "City Trea"-'
sury," "County Treasury." "Township
Treasury," "Free Churches," "Freo I'ie
Nics," "Free Schools," nnd surprising as
it may seem, tho bag wss closed tin and llie
ninrblo nrtn, that' held the club began to
move and soon to beat tho bag with great
violence ;nnd stranger still, th ) two on"cls.
Ltheir faces lit up with fierce nnger and
rar;o, both began to stamp tho great bag
with their feet, tiil nil its contents seemed
crushed to dust, never to nssumo form
ngain.
The ox was then elevated and placed on
flic niter, nnd before him stood a large
laver or basin of pure gold to receive tho
blood of the slaughtered victim. On Iho
rear of the alter lay the wood ready to bo
lighted to roast tho slain nnitnal, nnd in .1
circlo around nil. ttood tho lovely littlo
singing girl s, clad in white drapery, and a
chnplct of white roses on the head of each.
Tho sad moment for the slaughter arriv
ed, when the mild and beautiful face of the
ox seemed transformed, nnd a sad, tender,
pitying expression lit up tho face, and
great tears welled up in those mournful
eyes and rolled down that face, till Greely
came nnd implored mercy for the animal,
nnd said he was opposed anyhow to capi
tal punishment, and hungry as ho was.
would give up roast beef that day and
spare the almost human ox.
Jim. Fiske nunc forward nnd said, empty
as his stomach was, be would forego roast
beef that day, nnd fill up with other fod
der, and spare tho remarkable ox.
Ixsdgcr lionticr came tn the altar and said,
nn animal of such exquisite beauty should
not be slain, and ho would eat mountain
mutton that day, nnd made tin oiler of a
large, sum for tho ox, to drive iu the Cen
tral l'ark, with his two fast horses, three
abreast, the ox on the right.
Uut all in vain 1 The illustrious guests
nnd the immense assembly cried louder,
and the noiso rose. it. to a tumuli, 'demand
ing the sacrifice and roast beef.
Seeing nil their cft'erts in vain, Greely
fled from the scene, and was last seen on a
"limn." Fiski, still lame of tho wound
in the heel, tied, limping uwuy, till he
reached Krielt. 11., nnd returned to New
York. Homier was seen going over tho
mountains behind his fast team, making a
bee. linu for New York.
llut still no 0110 could be found to strike
thu fatal blow, till, amid murmurs of ap
plause, Mayor Hall nnd the High Shcnll',
ascended the nllar, unit in arm, and ap
proached tho doomed animal. Mayor
Hall took his handkerchief and gently
dried tho tears of thu weeping ox end saiii,
"There is a beautiful poetry in hie nnd i:i
death," nnd the High SherilV, always tender-hearted
and merciful, with bis grunt
cutlass mndu tho fatal thrust, and the kind
ly blood tell into thu golden laver, and the
noble life quietly iU:j tilted. Wonderful to
relate, the ox mill, during all the operation,
even ill the roasting process remained
standing on his feet. The. entrails were
soon takeu out and tin nr.ny of largo buz
anls came trooping down tho mountain,
and iu a few minutes consumed all the en
trails. Tho hide- kindly slid oil, and theu
an invisible hand lidded a torch, which nn
first touch licked tin tin: blond uud appPcl
to the now prepared body of the ox, which
passed through" tho roasting process in a
lew minutes whereupon thu llih Sherilf
began to carve and skillfully cut thu meat
in long slats or slabs, sumo three feet lor.g
and ) inches in width, nnd laid them 011
tho immenso golden dishes, Home i. feel
long each, which wero passed out into the
great assembly, till citeli brother aud sister
from Messrs. Tweed, Scott, Father Hoo
ker ilowu, v.ero supplied with a slat of
beef three foot long, H inches in width und
1 inch thick, then tho" work of eating was
vigorously begun. The process was some
what novel, nud Was suggested, 11. 1 dotibl,
by n snake eating a rabbit. So each ono
chewed nnd swallowed his slat of beef,
slowly but surely, by degrees chewing
and swallowing and swallowing, uud chew
ing, in 0110 continuous tthit. It was some
what worthy of note, that in that vast as
sembly no ono uucrtd a word, nnd the only
sound heard was a strange uuiiatutal gut
tural, not often heard in ihi world. 'Ibis
scene was a study for thu Foot, thu Fain
ter, tho Xalinal Thilosopbcr, and tho Me
taphysician. Tho latter would try to read

nnd ono of tho eli''ets of tho fright wn a
nascau at the stomach, ivhich, with Ihe
strong desire to cry aloud nnd shriek in

tion of the slabs of beef from their mouths,
was a renuu'kablu sight, never to bo for

the lire, the blood returned nud filled up
tho golden basin and flowed in a steady
stream into tho veins of tho roasled ox
skeleton tho slabs of half chewed nnd half
swallowed beef came moving up from iill
parts of tho assembly, instinct with some
strange power of motion, silently, yet thick
as the nufumunl leaves, nnd each slab
found ils exact place in the ox from which
it had been previously taken, till all tho
flush was restored the, buzzards returned
in a great troupe, nnd in a few minutes
threw lip tho entrails they bad devoured,
and went to their appropriate places, and
laDt of all r strange movement and omin
ous noise was heard under the immenso
sash, and tho yellow rich breeches of tho
High SherilV, and incredible as it may ap
pear, the. beautiful bide of tho ox camo
out from that cozy placo of deposit,
and expanded itself and gently moved,
of ils own accord, to tho skin'ess ox, as
lovely ns ever, and as full of life as ever.
Ho lowed in tones deep nnd loud, so that
they re-echoed through all the mountains,
in a melody solemn, grand, overpowering,
liko the holy niill.em of tho ocean, and was
board to proclaim, "Iloligious Freedom and
Toleration in this Frco Lnr.d." And still
more wonderful lo tell, in LI 10 twinkling of
nil eve, a bcuulit'ul silver colored mist arose
from the ground, and enveloped the ox nud
tho little singing girls, and hid them from
view, nnd nnved gradually upward, and
they were, no more. Tho band played Iho
beautiful nir "(Jo up, Old I laid head."
The lirst move iu this scene of tieiieral
stupei faction nnd fright, was that .tf Ju I go
Scott, ns bo rtuhod into the arms of the
High SherilV, and then on bended knees
and uplifted eyes was seen tho lovely si ul t
of brethren Hint escaped from sore (rouble,
returning thanks.
Then Tweed and Gallagher rushed into
each other's arms and fell on the earth in
excess of joy, nud then Mayor Hall led out
one of the New York rioi sisters on the
platform and danced n, crariole dance, sr
expressive on the French boards of exces
sive joy nnd gladness, from the top of thu
ears lo the end of the great toes.
Nor was tho scene in tho vast assembly
less excited universal embracing, und
every variety of joyful demonstration; in
all shapes nnd nl'titudes, of course always
perfumed with decorum nnd propriety.
As soon as order was restored, short
speeches were made. It could not escape
the eye of a thoughtful observer, that tho
jubilant and enutident tone of the speeches,
Wiis moderated, for they began to liavu
some misgivings that they were on enchan
ted ground and that furies, and gliosis, and
witches, ami spooks might inhabit that
region ; so Judge Sooll, piously, nnd with
ih ep reverence, alluded to tho Holy Father,
bow infallible ho was iu his admonition in
his Lticyc'iical letter to be ware of roust ox,
and with solemn emotions alluded to thu
purity of primary elections and tho sanc
tity of tho ballot box; audio havo his
friends rewarded find his enemies yunished.
Tweed gravely claimed that Northum
berland County could never reach its high
destiny till the ta::es were increased u hun
dred fold, and the Treasury filled with hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and sugges
ted that 11 medal of pure gold should be
awarded by the County 'ouiniissioners to
the farm that paid the heaviest lux, uud
one to the heaviest lax payer among the
miners and ao'ong thu mechanics, and it
should bo nailed to the lintel ol'bis door.
Comicly endorsed ad his brother Tweed
had said, and suiei-ted that it was such
an easy thing to hire burglars to break into
thu public oiliccsaud carry oil' important
vouchors, if there was any danger of im
polite people interfering.
Hall said ho and his friend tho High
Shi rill' were too much exhausted to say
much, only ho ivas requested by thu Shoriil
to say that a paid tiuio is coining in Nor

the beautiful midnight Heavens were roln.l

thus stopped the rush of tlm groat, car .

Uut brothers nnd voters, tho lOtli day

nnd with a Judge of our own on tho IJencl.,
I wlio will "reward Ins Iriends nnd puuis'i

I these sacred groves nnd coiiseciuteil

; will become one grand theatre of the mighty
1 nnd triumphant progress of enlightened

nere of its ten ilory, while it will tie all
clustered over by tho richest fruits nnd the
coldon harvest of taxes, will be consecrated
by sonic heroic feat of our courageous uud
; sult-rlonving brothers and rulers,
j Northumberland County redeemed,
j disenthralled and free forever,
j For a moment a. black cloud appeared,
jand hung above the speaker, and uttered
, tho voices of ten thousand thundets ami
' the whole people reared back responses of
joyous approval.
j The band played t"io touching and lender

Near the altar lay twenty-live largo
; hogshead of punch, alLmmlo and prepared
nt Delmonicoe's in New York, iu which no
; water is used. The hogsheads were of prime
; mahogany, wilh spigc.ts of pure gold-eleva-,
ted soino ii vo feet from the ground and under
; each spigot was a largo bowl two feet in cli
; nitieterand three feet deep, of pure gold, into)
j which the punch flowed from thespigoi. In
, each bowl were six lades of ptiro gold aud
i handdks of pure gold, 'each ladle c.iiilaiucd
: a quart nnd no less, and once lifted to thu
, mouth, w;is so made that il, never left Dm
', lips till the la.-t drop was drained. No each
' draft was just ono quart and iv less, and
1 it excited one's pity lo witness tho tears
! shed .'and the emotions of p tin aud sul-
fi ring in tho. face of each one ns ho was
: forced to drink up the quart full tit each
; time of drinking especially the sweec
, faces of die istcr . inters and female Molly
I Maguires.
I Soon as the day Wore away and tho cv
, oning began to close up ils wonderful
I events, tho great exercises and excitements
of the day, nnd especially the labor to tuko
; the golden quart ladles from their mouths,
; before drinking its contents all up, produe
! td (Irowsineso, and the entire, immenso as-
audibly fell into a profound sleep,
i As if by magic innumerable lamps nnd
1 chandeliers, that hung on the trees and the
: houghs, burst into n brilliant nnd dazzling
j flame of light, and the host of songsters in
, tiio cages, that weru suspended through iho
grove, sent forth gu.-dics of the most cx
; quistte music, and the whole scene seemed
! one of fairy enchantment, nnd int the least
, interesting 'and wonderful were the changi d
faces of the sleepers. The flush and fevi r
! of excited hilarity had all gone; tho wild
; excitement of boisterous merriment had
, left every face, and each faeo was strangely
j transfigured, till a sweet nnd a mild glory
j shone from every countenance, nnd nil
j looked like so many sleeping angels ; if
I there bu sleep in heaven, this lcvilching
; nn.l enraptured sceuu seemed like a little
1 corner of it.
I One of the most remarkable changes was
' in the face of the High Shot-ill'. No longer

' all ils dark and tcinlio grandeur, like a
