WANTED-BT. PATRICK.
When Irish hills werefair and green,
And Irish fitlide were white with daises,
And harvests, golded and sereno,
Slept in the lazy summer hazes;
When bards went singing through the land
Their grand old songs of nightly story,
And hearts were found in every hand,
And all was peace and love and glory;
Twas in those happy, happy days
When every peasant lived in clover,
And in the pleasant woodland ways
tine never met the begging rover;
When all was honest, large, and true,
And naught was hollow or theatrick—
Teas in those days of golden hue
That Erin knew the great Saint Patrick.
He came among the rustier rude
With shining robes and splendid crozier,
And swayed the listening multitude
As breezes sway the beds of osier.
He preached the love of Man for Man,
And moved theunlettered Celt with wonder,
'Fill through the simple crowd there ran
A murmur like repeated thunder.
He preached the grand incarnate Word.

And snakes within the woodier/chi nested;

He waved his erovier o'er his head,
And lo: each venonied thing took unition
And toads and snakes and vipers lied
In terror to the circling ocean
Why is Saint Patrick dead': or why

Jenny Irwin. Her mind was busy with
darker thoughts, and none Of the genii/

year Wank, ever bring back to' her the joy
ous emotions which filled her soul w.hen
life with her was bright and pure, and she
was thought the fariest :girl of all who grue

Out into the desolate night she goes. shit -

but nothing of sympath y , or kindn,.ae. or,

In a narrow and dirty street, where the

'guardians of the night hut seldom venturuj
where- crime and misery have their.coosl
tent abode, and the air reeky ever with thy
unwholesome vapors of all the eonrotnil

misery which I pray, reader. you nor I may

back to me, utter the full realization of your

you had placed me, while you, *ding

by every tender epithet, to bring to back
to reason—l felt all broken, and asgh
ttirou

I signed everything you told me and then,
when all was finished, you handed me a
paper and little book, and told me that
the-re was ten thousand dollars in the

Here she paused again, and this tin* she
pressed both hands upon her, temple
maining mute for many minutes.
The lawyer sat firm in his chair; he had
not moved,a muscle, and only the contrite-
Wm of his brow told of the warfare within
his heart and brain. .
Again she went on, slowly and distinctly,
