An Hour at the Old Play Ground
I sat nn hour to-day, John,
Beside the old brook stream,
When we were boys in the °bleu time.
When manhood was a dream.
The brook to choked with fallen leases,
The pond is dried away—
I scarce belioro that von would know
•The dear old place to day.
The school-house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees;
The wild roPo by the window side,
No more wares.in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate,
The Roil they rested on
Has been ploughed up by stranger hands,
Since you and I were gone.
The chestnut tree is deed, John,
And what is sadder now—
The brokensrape-vine of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough ;
I read:our:names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare..
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there;
Beneath the grass-grown bank, John,
I looked for our old spring.,
That bubbled down the. alder path,
Three paces from the swing ;
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not a foot, this many a day,
It scorns, has trodden there.
I took the old blind road,John,
That wandered up the hill ;
'Tis darker. than Wand to be,
And seems in lone cud still!
The birds sMg yet among the boug,hr,
Whore once the sweet grape hung,
But not a voice of homed kind
Where all our voices rung.
I sat me on the fence. John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half pannel in the path
We used so oft to climb—
And thought how o'er the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.
THE WI OF LIM.
• There was as beautifula Scotch ballad. ny
this title; as I ever siw in my life; it made
a very strong impression. on me; but as the
ballad is not to found, I will endeavor to
tell the story in plain prose :
The Laird of' Linn, in Galway, was one
of the richest land proprietors in Scotland.
Besides the lands and dwellings, he had
flocks and herds, and a good stock of gold.
Moreover, he was a man of frugal and par
simonious disposition, so that the men of
Galway avoided hi&company, and the whole
town cried shame on him. Nevertheless,
his riches grew and increased to a mighty
sum, and there was no telling what heaps of
treasure he had snugly concealed.
The Laird of Linn did not marry till late
in life, and his wife died within a year of
his marriage. She left. him one child,
a son, who was the joy and plague of his]
existence. Though naturally of a noble
and generous temper, he was reckless
and extravagant. Seeing and hearing his
father ridiculed every day for his miserly
temper and habits, lie resolved at all events
not to be, like him, and spend-all he could
lay iris hands on among lew,dissolute com
panions, in riotous living—pe l true Is it that
one extreme, ; often produces„another. It
was in fain', thitt his father .remonstrated
with him; he only greW Waree.as • he grew
older. ' •
' At last the Laird . of Linn lay on his death
bed. He had outlived all his near relations,
and he had no friends, so thakto was oblig
ed to leave all his substance.. t*, ..soci, :and
.
beside, next to his gold he this prodi-•
gal heir. Previous to his .detA he called
the heir of Linn to his bedside; and .thus
spoke:
my son, when my lips are cold in death,
and my tongue silent 'in the grave, I. know
how it will be with you. You will spend
all the substance of your ancestors, and all
the gold I get together, in dissipation and
extravagance. Nvertheless I'do not wish
my son to live a beggar. Therefore give
heed to my only dying command, and if you
disregard it, may a father's dying curse cling
to you. The upper chamber of my house,
in Kippletringan, is now locked up, anti I
have thrown the key into the sea. When
you have lost both gold and lands, when you
have not a friend, who will lend you a ban
bee, and when you are actually suffering for
a crust to appease your hunger, break the
door open, and you will find a certain relief ;
but if you open the door before that time, I
say again, may a father's curse cling to you."
With tcse word's the old man l'ell back
and expired.
The heir of Linn did not grieVe long for
his parent. Ho soon after threw open his
house to all comers. His forests fell beneath
the : axe. His chimneys were always smo
king, a hundred men eat daily at his board,
atid he bought horses and hounds, and lent
money, without counting it, to his dissolute
companions; he jested, and drank, and gam
bled, as if he could not get rid of his sub
stance in all of these wads; be took no care
of' his affairs, but gave up the guidance of
them to n bailiff or a steward, named John
of Scales ' who. was a knave and a notorious
usurer. John cheated his master in a vari
ety of waya, and put more than half his'rent
in his own pocket.
At last what the heir of Linn's father had
foreseen came to pass. His money was all
gone and he had ne means of keeping up
his excesses except by selling his lands,.but
no one was rich enough to buy them except
John of Scales, and every one knew how ho
came by his money. The young Laird was
desperately in want of cash to pay hrs gam
ing debts, and Was moreover heated with
wine when the unjust steward offered to
buy his estate. It was a hard case ; but af
ter much discussion he agreed upon the bar
gain..

BY WILLIAM J. SNELLING
Then John counted down the goad,wlean
..
gold, and a hard bargain his . master had of
it, For every pound thet;Tciliti agreed, the
! land was worth three.
• The last mofiey went like the first, and
-1 the heir of nn was a beggar.. He first
went to the house, that had once been his
. ervri,lint :now belonged to John of' Scales.
I To seek some relief; he looked into..the.win.
i dors of thel.p . eat.banquet'liall, but there was
no feasting soing . on' in it. The fire was
' out and the dinner table taken away, and all
I was desolate and dismal.. " Here's sorry
I cheer," said the heir of Linn: •
Julio would not give him a penny, but
told him to'go to the friends he had spent
so much money upon foolishlY. Ile did so,
but it did no good. Some pretended not
Ito know him, and none would lend him a
I thrilling, or even offer him a dinner, so he'
1 wandered about forlorn and hungry for two
days; for work he could not, and to beg he
was ashamed. At last, in his extreme mis
ery, he bethought himself 'of his father's
dying words. " I hove not sold the house
in Kippletrigan yet," said lie '
" for no one
would buy it." I will go and break ,open
the • upper , chamber. My father said T
Iwould find relief there, and perhaps he
meant treasure. If it should . prove' so, I
(will he a wiser man than I was before, and
snot waste it on knaves. * • * *. * *
1 To the house ten he went, and broke the
I chamber door op n. Ho found relief' in.
i deed.
There was no ing in the room, except
a high stool, an directly over it a halter,
dangling from a hook in the ceiling. He
looked up and read these words:
" Ali ! graceless wretch and wanton - ) fool !
You are ruined forever. This is the only
relief for those who have wasted their pat
trimony as you have done. Behold then
—put the halter , around your neck, and
jump from the stool, and save your family
from disgrace and beggary. "
" Very excellent counsel, " said the heir
of Linn, and as'l must either hang or starve
I think I'll take my father's advice and
hang. - It is the shortest death of the two. '''
So ho mounted fastened, the halter round
his neck, and kicked the stool from under.
But the heir of Linn was not to die so.
The board into which the hook was driven
gave way with, his weight, and be fell on
the floor with 'a shower of gold coins rattling
about his ears. I will not say' that he felt
no pain the . , next day, but nt that moment
ho felt none. Joy rushed' into his . heart
like a torrent, at seeing himself rescued
from death and beggary: The space be
tween the coaling and the roof contained an
enormous treasury. On the upper side of'
the board from which he thought to sus
pend himself, was fastened a letter address
ed to him. lie hastily tore it open and
read as follows :
" My dear son, I knew your character
and no expostulations or,. advice can. wean
you from the despirate pours() you are pur
-1 suing. Nothing but misery sharper than
1 death can work the cure from you. If,
therefore, your misfortunes and sufferings
I should be so grievous that you prefer death
Ito their endrance you . will not rashly ., en
•
i counter them again. You have the trial;
take my gold, redeem • your' lands, and be
coon a better roan." •
1 The heir of Linn did not leave the4pot
without putting up a prayer to Heaven for
the soul
_of a parent whose admirable wis
dom had discovered the means. of .raising
him from beggary and dimpair to affinence;
and of weaning him from the follies and
vices which had so diegrabed hie character.
To evince. his gratitude, he resolved to
amend his life from that day- forward, and
become all a father's heart could wish.
' But the first thought he would make one
' more trial of his false friends on Whom•he
had wasted his tithe; his ,substance, and his
'eharacter. He therefore kept his newly.
discovered wealth a great secret, until he
heard that John Of Scales was to give a
grand: entertaininetit; anif . all the lords and
'ladiciaof-Golway wore. to' he there.
• When the heir of Linn entered his father's
hall, it was 'crewded with richly dressed gen-:
try, but he.was in beggar's rags:.' He appeal.
ed to the charity of the company, Saying he'
was starving. , To one he said, "you have
dined at my board a ; thousand times; will,
you deity me the which 'fall from
my own ?" To anOther, I gaveyou a pair of
steeds and trappings." And . to .another he
said, "I lent, you a thousand pounds,, and
never asked you ttfrepaynie:f ands° onto
all the rest of' the' company: • But instead
of remembering his faVori•they'reyiled him
and called 'him a spendthrift, -beggar, and
all manner of vile.:nantes:o!. , Somp - said it
was a shame that such a .wretohed 'looking
object should •be snffered, to 4mme veining
them; and one to whom more than , alllthe
rest, his purse had been o en, called on:the
servants to thrust hil 7 u Pio:loons:
But one .man took 4' art..: ICW,IIB ;XIVI•
ter Rieharn Lakeland, a, poor ymensor, sop,

said, "I never ate at the board ofthe , heir.

'Was a worthy gentleman When lie had the

" You, at least;,'. said the heir of Linn,'
"ought to .I.lievo my

you a good bargain for my lands." . ~..
Then John of' Scales 'began to revile him 1
and to declare :that he lad .giVen him muay
more than the lands wore worth; for he:did.
not like to be reminded , of his extortion be

" Nay,". said he to the heir of Linn,' ~ if

"Perhaps I will find friends who will lend

dolin 'of Schies'knew that but few people
ofithe , .Country had so much money, even if
it were a common thing to lend money to a
:beggar, and he just saw what reliance was
to be placed upon -ctieilds
ifica ilfisuch a case.—
He had not the-lee:dr ithat the heir of
Linn would be the owner of the hundredth
part of -the- sum. lie therefore called for
..tbe,pen ink and - paper„arid sat down before
the -- com , tpany: ala 4 wrote this promise, and
right: scoffingly,. gaveit-to T his former master.
' Then the heir of Linn i strode to the win

tatter-garbontine and blew. Jt All the joists
and 'rafters 'Shook, With din:: : Presently a
'fair troop of serraintfi. rode: np, well armed
and .mounted,. leading a ..rnule laden with
treasure. They • dismounted an brought
the bags of gold in the fiall.:
"My father's lands are nay: : own again,"
cried the heir Of Linn,joyetialy, and before
the company had recovere d :from their as
tonishment, beluer counted down to John
of Scales just the sUm he had agreed to take
Then-turning tq his servants he said :
Scourgelne this viper out of the house
of Linn with dog whips." And it was im
mediately done. . .
The company crowded around him to con
gratulate.
aa him on receiving his patrimony,
and excusing their own negiccf ; and ingrati
tude.' • But - he . isaid foAlietn:
" Caitiffs, slaties, dogs, begone Pollute
the floor of my house no longer! If you
enter my grounds again, I will have my
servants loose thelounds upon you !"
To Master Lakeland, he said, " Come to
my arms, come to my heart my brother !
Live in my home, and share with the heir
of Linn in all things." And the heir of
Linn became another man, and an ornament
to his country;aad a blessing to his tenants.
