A TRIP AROUND THE NORTH
ERN LAKES.
_*C,,lN.kw, August 0, 1872
But as f said the atmosphere orLakc
Superior• is its enticing chasm. While
at Hayfield, we made the acquaintance
of Dr. Willey, formerly of N. H., and a
year or two ago the most extensive and
eminent practitioner of St. Paul; and a
gentleman of the highest culture. The
labor of his profession at St. Paul broke
him down, and he is now residing at
Hayfield for his health. Ho speaks
the place "as the valley which Rasellas
would have .been a fool to leave, and
Where he ought to be contented forever."
Ho says, as nearly :IS he can judge after
a two years residence, " it is the perfec
tion of a summer climate,>ad the most
healthful I know of auywhef•o." He .
thinks he certainly could not have lived
anywhere else two years ; and all Who
know him hope he may live many years
longer. We met with others, who said
they came there as they supposell in
confirmed consumption, who now appear
to be in vigorous health.
Hayfield is not at present a place of
any groat commercial interest, and per
haps never will be. But from What I
have seen, heard and experienced, I
would give it the preference as a calm,
quiet, health-giving summer resort, to
11115 r place we have over visited ; at least,
this side of the Rocky Mountains:
" LA nomr!'
the second mission established by the
celebrated Father Marquet, is directly
across
, from hayfield; on ono of—the
Apostle Islands, perhaps two miles dis
tant. - The old church .ccupies the same
locality on which he latited the cross
over 200 years ago, when there wore
nano but the Indian tribes to listen to
his message. The Present missionary is
a man of the same typo, Father Chor
oaux. Lilco Marquet, beim to a title and
wealth in Europe, he laid thorn aside to
preach Christ: crucified., to the Indians.
Ile is beloved by ell denominations, with
out, we wore told, an individual excep
tion,. for his universal kindness and phil
anthropy ; and for yearsealthough yet
comparatively young, ho has travelled
through the wilderness of. lake Buperlor,
hundreds of miles on foot and in its
rigid winters oe his errand ofmercy,
,I.3eautlful. little arbors stand on the
11111 in . the CatholiC grounds attached
'to ,the church, overlooking the lake,
'and with a full view ,of the Apostle
Nam's'. We wore accustomed to go
up there and spend the Worn . ing in
.those others, enjoying the look out:
Those' arbors and all the ornaments
•about the givuuds, were' orpeted_hy hot
hands of Pathei Choreaux, endiparcely

She was induced to give some of the
incidents of her life, and many of them,
told with artless simplicity and modesty,
were -very interesting., Two of them
I may n relate. tier Hid' is , spent in
flivveling winter and summer alone,
whe'rnver she is sent by the church,
and she has traveled over all
our territories in many of the most
dangerous and diftloult parts, among
miners and Indians and all classes of
men. She -says she has been treated
with almost' uniform kindness pvery
where. Two years ago she waegoing
by stage from Salt Lake to a point near
Lake Taho, CI forget the• name), and as
they were' carrying a largo amount of
gold in W. and I. box, which she snip ,
poses was known, they were attacked by
a band of robbers, about two miles )be
fore they came to ono of the statlon4.
The robbers fired six or seven shots, and.
she throw herself forward on the seat f'o
protection: The driver who was shot
through the leg, put the whip to his
horses, and they escaped. Tho sister
found one of the passengers lying heavily
across her, and as she supposed for prii
tection but when they came -to the
station she asked him to let hor up, but
he and another of the passengers were
'ead. Both wore buried at the station.
On leaving the station the other passen
gers gave her their •iii . itclies and pocket
books to keep, on the presumption that
robbers wouldnot molest a sister. But
they mot with no further molestation.
On another occasion in traveling
across the prairies in Minnesota, from
Cannon Falls to Hastings in winter ;
when the thermometer was 20- below
zero, she was frozen and was taken out
With little hopes of recover. But she
was inimedi'ately steeped in ice water
and for five hours. The return to life,
she said, was excruciating; the pains in
her limbs was very greatand it was some
five or six weeks before she could be re
stored. Truly, her life is not an easy
one.

When we ware about separating she
,dame up to one of the ladies and saidin
the kindest tones : Well, sister I find
we ale of different faiths in some re
spects ; but I l am very glad to have met
with you. Anil now let us remember
that we belting to the same humanity,
with like duties, and wo have the same
hares. We believe at least, in the same
God, and the same Saviour ; and if we
never meet again on earth, I hope we
will meet in aeaven Farewell."' I
listened ih silence ; but I thought that
such intercourse, was not calculated to
chCrish the feeling towards each other,
of " idolaters" and heretics!'
The "city of Duluth" is the city that
Jay Cooke is trying to establish by light
ing Nature with Capital and with,a host
of traveling employes to write it and
the DT. P. It. R. up. Nature has, un
dOubtedly, made the present location of
"Superior," the grand site for a city.
It has one of the most magnificent har
bors in the world, while Duluth has to
reach the lake through a broad swamp
of half a mile, and has to build her
houses on the slope of a mountain. The
site of Supericir rises suddenly from deep
water to an elevation cif perhaps twenty
feet, and rests on a grand and gently elop
ing plateau which extends inland for 20
miles. In' making the rail road from Du,
Nth towards, the Mississippi, the first 30
miles is along the St Louis river on the edge
of precipices and embankments, kept up
by supporting, but constantly yielding
walls, and over trestle work that puts
life in iminentdangor. Superior would
roach the same junction ou a smooth
and level plain. Both Duluth add
Supe4or aro excluded from lake com
municii.tion for six months' in the year,
compelling them, for that time to seek
railroad communication with all South ;
Duluth being North of Superior cannot
reach any portion of the Southern coast
without going _ through Superior, or
making a wide and oxpensivo circuit
around it. In this contest, although
Jay Cooke has for the present, virtually
excluded Superior from all commercial
advantages, the. almigliCy power of
Nature must triumph in the end.
Fraud iu erecting a dyke for the time,
lias the victory, but Wisconsin as a
State, has ticori tip the cause.of Supe
rior, and with the immense and valuable
land grant which ie given for tho pur
pose of a railroad from Superior to
Prescott, find other point's, puperior
must yet be the groat point at the
Western and of the Lake; , ` , Out of five
of the business men of Duluth with
whom I conversed, all expressed the
opinion that Superior was the point
Nature, had fixed, and three of them
that Nature must ultimately triumph.
The groat mass of the property, in Supe
fior is owned by some of the wealthiest
men in Chicago, Cleveland • and New
York, and they aro pow Walrfng up to
their interests. There are some gobd
stores in Duluth, but apparently few
customers. A largo portion of their
people appear to be engaged in billiards.
There is ono significant fact in regard
-to the N. X. railroad bonds. No ono
touches them in any city near tho road.
I asked why ? Decants limy answer,
"We will got thorn a-. an immense
;.discount after awhile, if e want thorn.
It; is'evident the road Its If cannot for
neatly years„to come pay the interest.
As Boon as • the road is finished, • the
company will have no ferthcrobject in
keeping up the credit, of. the 'bolids, by
paying the interest .ciut 'of their own
pockets, or borrowing to do it. Tho
interest, must therefore necessarily bo
intrusted to the earnings of the road,
and tlro pilYeient will therefore have to,
wait' until that time arrives." Lot

'these_ hends, think of this, Don't .it
look' like, truth? It .Is the 'Way mien

t.fact. .All the lands of: tiee 'N. P. are

After leavarg,huluth, we visited St.
Paul and Mineapolis. These oitios are iii
increasing with astonishing rapidity, and,
show every ovidoyce of immense wealth
n d refinement. 'But it would take too
long to tell all about them.
From St. PIM] wo took rail to 'Keokuk,
through central lowa, over the roughest
and most detestable rail road in the
country ; and for the trivilege of their
jolting and tholy blunders, they charged
six cents per Milo—VS.o(i for 300 miles.
In Southern lowa we got into an attnosi
phore that almost dissolved us, and after
spending some days in visiting friends,
we turned back to the 'lakes at the rate
of thirty miles an hour, and brought up
at Chicago.

as a place, is about one hundred ana
twenty-five years old. It was an im'-
portant military post during the Revolu
tion, :Ind was; before that, a well-knowp
harbor of refuge for the people of
Cumberland Valley, when fleeing from
Indian invasions. Later, in the days of
the Rebellion, when an invasion of a
dilltnent kind ravaged theValley,garlisle
was again obliged to stand a siege, and
tho marks of Lee's cannon balls are still
visible on its' buildings.
The town, which has about seven
thousand inhabitants, has a curious half
asleep, half wide-awake air about it.
There aro many handsome buildings
which look modern, and indicate an
enterprising spirit, but interspersed with
these are many others which look as if
the Flood might have drifted them into'
their present situations. It is a hand
some place. Its level streets are well
shaded by trues; there are some fine
churches and pri vate residences ; Dickin
son College has sonic beautiful grounds
about it, and tho fields which stretch
away on every Side aro green and
smil
ing; while the whole landscape is
grandly sot in a border of blue moun
tains lying a few miles away on either
band. The Cumberland Valley is ono
of Pennsylvania's greatest granaries.
Lebanon, and Lancaster, with it, make
up a trib v while thirty others, like
David's mighty men, are all farhous, but
not equal to the foremost three. lteado's
description of Fiederick will answer
well for Carlisle and for the whole
Cumberland Valley :
" hound about it orchardi, towirp,
Apple and pooch treo frultod deep,
Fair as n garden ef the Lord."
A.pootio and a truthful description.
Along the principal street of Carlisle
runs-the Cumberland Valley Railroad,
the rails sunk to a level with - the drive,
and presenting so completely the appear
ance of a Philadelphia street railway,
that one ilndk- himself unconsciously
looking out for a horse-car; but horse
cars are unknown hero, and ho is pres
ently made aware of his mistake by the
hppearance of a train of 'pars, which
dashes along at - a rate that would be
dangerous to wagons, and people, if
there were wagons and- people to be run
over. Fortunately, in this respell, there
is little clangor.
.It is not probable that
a railroad accident happens ,once a year
in those little -traveled streets. It is a
grand plpco• for i'quiet man to live in,
and not a fow of Pennsylvania's best
loved sons have deemed it a fitting place
to die and be buried in.
There is an old graveyard in the
centre of the town, so'old that one of its
stones recmAtlio date " and in
it repose no less than. three who in their
Limo were ornaments to the Supiense
Bench of the State.
CHIEF JUSTICE GIBBON

CAItLISLE AS A 'WATERING-PLACE
From the abodes of th - eiteirt to the re
sorts of the living is an easy transition
The memory of the past is always for
gotten in the excitements of the present
It has been said above that Carlisle is a
quiet place. it, follows Its a corollary
upon that remark, that it is' little in
favor with the annual throngs who follow
" the season" from ono watering-place
to another. Steictly a watereng-place it
never can be, for there are no medicinal
springs in' the neighborhood, and 'there
are no facilities for either• fresh or salt
water bathing; but there is no reason
why it should not be a favorite summer
resort for persons who object to noise and
bustle. The air is pure, fresh, country
air, the water excellent, and fruits and
vegetables abundant. • The railroad
facilities consist of two traina daily, each
way, between Harrisburg and Hagers
town. The Bentz House is a good, clean
and quiet hotel, and the Mansion House
is also good, but smaller, and less desir,
able, because of its proximity to the
depot. Among-the-disadvantages of the
place may be mentiond a habit 'of ex
tinguishing the street lamps at 10%' clock,
on the darkest nights, and an observance
of the Sabbath that is almost Puritanic
in its strictness. Even the drug-stores
close on Sunday, and a special Sunday
train, the other day, created, according
to a local paper, "great excitement."
The livery stables, however; remain
open, and charger) ridiculously small
prices. Two reporters, this attornam,
paid three dollar's for a very neat two
horse buggy, and rode out to •
NlOlilliT HOLLY SPIIINCIS,
otherwise "Paportowd"—so called from
the number of paper mills the're situated,
This is a village lying at tho foot of the
South Mountain, six miles duo north
from Carlisle. The ride is straight across
the valley, over a turnpike,. road in the
usual stony condition of those, relies of
barbarism, and through a flop s rolling
country, an expression which, literally
translated, moans, up ono hill and down

THE LAST MISTRESS OF TULLY
MORE.
rt was almost nine o'oloCk-on a gray,
stormy morning, towards the and of
Juno, 1707, and the groat house at Tul
leymote, .the second best house in the
county' Donegal,. seemed as though it
were never going to wake .up feq the
day, for the blinds were down, aA a
hush rested on the place. •
Not so the humble dwellings near it.
The clusters of mud 'cal-line, grandly de
noMinated "towns," which" were dotted
hero and there over the mountain sides,
had,,heiiii - Seenes. of activity since a very
early hour.
Very unsummor-like was the cold, dark
morning, and "the :dress in which Miss
Alice O'Hara, at Wit appeared might
have been called .unseasonable. But the
wearer looked charming enough, as she
glided clown the steep, narrow staircase,
to be above criticism.
She wore her visiting costume: a gown
of sky-blue silk, mad? with the long
waist so much in vognotat - tbaLperiod
it was cut low in the neck, and a hand
kerchief of white net covered her snowy
'gleaners. - filer halr'WViej - i6WdbrOil; and
`Bfiriftrap from her forehead fryer a high
cushion, whereon was pinned a coiffure
of black lace, something between a cap
and mantilla, making her look like the
ladies in the pictures of Sir Thomas
More's family.
Iler necklaCe, an heirlooM, Was formed
by a triple row pf magnificent pearls.
So much for Miss Alice's attire". In
person she was a little slender lady, with
a fair, gentle face, and pensive expres
sion, but very stately withal. There
was much thoughtfulness in her deep
blue eyes, as well as in her rosy, but
somewhat thin lips.
She opened the drawing-room door on
coming down stairs, and went over. to
her own especial corner of the room,
who're the deep window commanded a
vier,' of Lough Barra, laid at the root of
giant mountains, with all fie green is
lands on its breast.
Her new spinning-wheel from London
was in that corner, and so was her
library—her copies of Shakspoaro and
Sponsor and " nasselas," her "Lives of
the Poets," and her "Johnson's Did
tionary,"'-litsides innumerable heavy
looking tombs of theology, which last
were much her favorite study, and had
Probably something to do with making
her so thoughtful. -
Sho was mor9 than thoughtful. She
was sad that Juno morning, and looked
as though her tiny hands wore spinning
the web of fate. Yet there was nothing
in her external circumstances to make
her sad ; a" beauty and au heiress, and
engaged to be married to Mr.. young of
Drimrath, one of the best matches in the
county, and, best of all, the man of her
choice.
Sho bad not boon many miputelalono
before her Juror entoro'd. Ho wank up
to hor briskly, exclaiming—
" Good morning, Alice. You rise up
early to spin, and your band hold the
distaff like old Solomon's virtuous wom
an. I wish I had you at Drlmrath, to
clothe my household with scarlet." '
Ile spoke nervously, as if not quite
sure of his welcome. Alice smiled grave
ly, and suffered him to kiss her cheek.
" Why wore you so RetiPtCto, me last
night, Alice ?" proceeded ho ; "no kiss,
no kind word ! lt was 'hard upon a
poor follow wh6 - ioves you so well."
Ho was close to nor chair, with his
hand on her shoulder, and his bright
dark oyes fixed imploringly upon her
face. He could hardly fail to
.please,
with his gay smile, good. features, and
florid complexion, softened 4d set Off
by his powdered hair ;hia short, but
beautifully-formed figure diSpland to
such advantage in thegroon and gold
uniform which ho wore as colonel of tho
yeomanry.
"Why wore you so cruel to mo„.
Alice ?" continued ho coaxingly.
"You know the reason, Robort," re
plied she, smiling in spite of herself, as
she met his laughing eyes.
" Well, I confesti 1 was a little merry

'thundering big gooseberry his honor's

boy that khows how to make the bushes

Alice nodded to old Ryati, and turned
from the windoW.
" We aro kind to the people, doar Rob

.set them a good example, or try to teach
thorn what is right. Papa and mamma
laugh at me, and so do you. I fear I

sho, with a sigh.
" When will you come to sot usu. good

please. But, Alice," and . he'looked• at
her more attentively, " you have par
doned me for my. misdemeanors of last
night, but you aro still grave. What is
he matter with you?"
"Such a, foolish thing, Robert—a pre.
sentiment of coming evil, which I can
not shako oft. I have had it for'wooks,
but to-day iris ten-fold stronger than
over. There is surely some - dreadful
misfortune hanging over us t I wish I
could keep mamma and yoriTtr sight all

" Oh, you silly Alice l Which of us
does it 'threaten?"
• "My fears point most to you. Stay
with me, dear."
" I should not need twice asking if it
were not for the curse drill at Tarnf . i.
That reminds me, I muskitoA4oneo."
" flow 'do you go ?"
"I drive black Jenny in the gig.
She's a lady who. appreciates Tullymoro
hospitality highly ; and it's likely
enough she'll caper going off, for she's
never quite sober leaving you; Alice.
She'll be in the plight I was in last
night ; your father treats, us both too
well. Eli?"
Alice laughed, as she was expected to
do, at his very innocent little joke, al
though she had hoard it about 4wenty
times before. Black Jenny always left
I.Tu lymere in wonderful heart, and had
Once thrown her rider in sight +of his
lady-love's window. " Put mo out of '
your head, but take care . of yourself,"
continued Robert, when he had done
chuckling. " You frightened mo
minute ago, you looked ao soared."
" I was tidnicing of my dream. I
dreamed there was a coffin brought in
and laid upon the hall table, and my
sister 'Ann and I were standing ono at
its head and 024) other aetts foot. The
coffin was open, and. yve could see the
corpso within ; but the face was always
changing. First it was yours, then
mamma's, then yours again ; and I
awoke weeping for you both. I felt all
the time that the calamity was in some
unexplained way concted with the
_drunken revels of The night. It was a.

"The finest woman , .. itinta ono in the

Ale old lady did small credit to his
taste as far as.boanty went ; but she had
all the briskness and vigor that her
daughter seemed to want, and evidently
enjoyed her existence thordughly.
" Alice thinks something dreadful is

at Tullymoro a short timo afterwards,
under Huey's guidance, on their ill
fated expedition. Mr. Young drove off
in his gig at the same Moment ; Mrs.
O'Hara in high spirits, calling after
him to encria , her promise of dancing at
•
his wedding.
The old gentle Man was keeping stern
watch _over Huoy, who was becoming
talkatiye and defiant ; and Alice, whose
pale face was turned away from - her
lover, was gazing at the heavy clouds
hanging over Tullymoro, and fancying
them like a funeral pall.
Mr. Young turned to look after the
oar ; but. black Jenny soon required all
his attention, and he forgot the slight mis
givings with which he had taken loavo
of his friends. -
Mrs. O'Hara and Alice Were seated on
the side of the car facing Lough Barra.
Perhaps there ia not a more wildly beau-
tiful drive in all Ireland than that wind
ing, hilly road, with heather-covered
mountains rising in bold ranges on the
one hand, and the clear lake on the
other.
Mr. O'Hara's 'lel& sloped down to the
water's edge, where the herons stood
fis/iingi his sheep and cattle were graz-
ng on the islands; he was able to look
on the whole scone with the pleasant in-
tercet arising from possession.
"I wonder whether the country about
. Drimrath is as fine as, this, Alicc," said
Mrs. O'Hara. • ;
"I wish you had -seen it,-mother,"
replied her daughter wistfully. "I am
so sorry you have' never seen it yet.,
Why did you not come with papa and
me when we went there?"
"All in good time, my dear. You'll
treat' me well when I go to visit you,
won't you."
Alice's answer was a caress, so much
warmer than usual that her mother
looked at her with a puzzled smile. , She
was wont to be undemonstrative and
cold; but a change had come over her,
as though she could not show. Mrs.
O'Hara love enough; and she kept lair
arm around her for the rest of the jour
ney, with a curious protecting clasp.
The first part of the way was safely
accomplished, thanks to Mr. O'Hara;
for Huey had driven so 'furiously down
the first bill that his masterhad :snatched
the reins from him.
Ho was rather a hinderance than a
help to the ferryman and his son in the
business of unharnessing the gray, and
getting him and the car• on board the
ferry boat; but it was done at last, and
they were off. •
"It's a good five mile of a drive to
Mr. Murray's, your honor," observed
Ned Daly, the ferryman, settling him
self fora gossip with the passengers, ds
lie took the oar. "Mr. James 'Mur
ray's, aye, coming down to the' shoro to
see ,if I ha' Miss Alice me. Sure,
it's not to see ould Nod ho cotues sae
constant."
"He needna, then, Ned," interposed
the graceless Huey,' in a confidential
tone ; " Miss Alice wouldna look at him
at all, at all !"
"Hold your tongue, you rascal 1"
shouted Mr. O'Hara, incensed afresh at
the culprit's audacity ; "if you dare to
speak again, pitch you into the
lough."
Mrs. O'Hara entreated her husband
to take no notice, as he . r eight see that
Huey was not 'himself, and she was
really afraid of an accident. ‘.--Tht2, least
movement might upset the boat ;
began to talk to Ned, in hopes of diva'r
ing Mr. O'Hara's attention.
"I dare say you have hoard that Miss
Alice is about to leave us, Ned, and this
is probably the last time you will row
her over the lough ; she is going to be
married to Mr. YOung, of Drimrath."
" God bless heretwhorever' she goes I
It wad be a nice gentleman, indeed,
that wad he deserving o' wo'er ain Miss
Alice. What kind is Mr. Young,
ma'am?"'
" Well Ned, ho is greatly liked in his
own country, I believe, and—"
"Hoot, hoot, man l" interrupted
Huey, with a.,provoking laugh, " never
mind the mistress. I'll tell ye what sort
ho is. He's a little bit o' a man, an
unsignified wee crathure, that's just
whit ho is." •
" Take that, you impudent rascal l"
cried Mr. O'Hara', goaded to fury, rids:
ing tho whip to strike him. The blow,
fell short of Huoy, - and struck the horse,
instead. •
The animal began to kink and plunge,
and almost before they had time to per
ceiTo,, their danger the boat was over-
tithed, and the whole party struggling
❑ tho wntor
i
I /was a horrible moment. ' Ono wild
shr ok of terror, and all was still. The
of ferryman had fallen under the boat;
hi son, a young lad unable to swim,
NV B clinging to the oars .; Uuoy was
aking his way to the shore, from
which they wore about three hundred
yards distant ; . and Mr. O'Hara was
waiting (a dread waiting),until his wife
and daughter should ris'a.
'Ho was a good swimmer. Could ho
sa4o,them both ?
They rose to the surface at the same
moment. Mrs. O'Hara's green dress
floated near him.; ho was almost touch
ing it. Ho had already caught her in
ono ape, when lie saw: his daughter's
whi„to:face turning towards him,^ her
handkfatrotched out to him. His beau
tifull Alice, the pride and joy of- bi , do_
olining years, the hope, of another
ancient line—must she perish ? But his

possible. , Only an instant to ohooso
tweon them ; but in that fleeting icf.tant
;tho unfortunate old man suf(orod anguish
such as thousands liiie'r4ia die without
txperioncing.
The axxfv,lwebotee was madp. He droW
tjko. alender figure of his daughter to
ward him, and swam, with her to shore..,
Alice'was Safe upon the bank, and her
father, faitit and exp:misted, was breast
' iug the treacherous waves.
In vain, iu vai4 , was the search t
traco of the poor lady was to be disedv
ore,d; she had sunk to riso no more.
11r,(RIAtra swam found and round the
_ -~;
spot where he had soen'her last; but at
length the instinct of solf.proservatioia
made him turn towards the shore.
Huey, the cause of all, had by this
time called assistance.. Alice vas car
ried •to the nearest cabin, and all the
poor people could do was done for her.
Her' restoration
,to consciousness was
terrible. .„
"ManitiMi"' she cried
where is mainnia?"
EMI
"My Alice," replied the wretched old
man, " thernwas no help but mine, and
I could not save you both." a 'I
"You should have saved hor,papal
Oh, why 'did not you let me sink? I
wish I were dead 1 Mamma, mamma,
mamma 1" and she was-almost choked
by a frantic burst of tears.
The groat kitchen at Tullymoro was
crowded with poor people, come to show
their respect to the dead lady, and their
sympathy with the sorrowing family.
A barrel of whiskex was on tap for (the,
refreshment of all' corners, bundles of
pipes, and heaped-up plates of cut to
bacco were provided, and the wide, old
fashioned kitchen grate was piled with
turf.
A motley assembly gathered round it
—men in long frieze coats, and brogue's,
and gray worsted stockings, and women
in their homespun, petticoats and scarlet
cloaks,
To a -them justice, there' was much
kind, and even delicate fooling shown.
No loud voices reached that part of the
house whore " the master" and "Miss
Alice" wore prostrated, by their terrible
grief.
Of course, the tragedy was well dis
cussed. Alice's inquiry for her mother,
on recovering from her swoon, and Mr.
O'Hata's answer, wereco opted upon
in awe-stricken whispers. .
The general opinion as,. that Mr.
.
O'Hara had been rig in saving his
daughter, who had, in all human prob
ability, a long and prosperous life be
fore her, rather than the mother, whose
course was nearly run ;but they pitied
him exceedingly, Mfd"prophesied that
he would never got over it, as the ser
vants, who wont up stairs from time to
time brought them accounts of how he
;was " taking oh." He and his daugh
ters (for Mrs. Humphries had arrived)
were trying to comfort one another in
the room next that in which Mrs. O'Hara
lay so quiet ; and thus the days wore
round .to that before the funeral.
The daughters had seen their mother
laid in her coffin, and were alone with
her, gazing their last at her calm face,
when Mr. Young entered. There wore
no: facilities for communication with
those at a distance, such as wo have in
these days, and he had not been Utile to
reach his poor bride any sooner.
Ile was rushing towards her, when
the i'emernbrauce of her dream, thus
fearfully fulfilled, struck a chill through
him ; nud he stood still, staring at the
coffin, with the two motionless figures at
either end.
"Oh Robert, Robert , !" cried Alice,,
throwing horshlf into his arms. "it is_
my dream comp tree,".
No more revels took place In the old
house at Tullymore. Soon . aftot the
funeral Mr. O'Hara and his daughter
turned their backs upon it forovr. The
old man lived with Alice and her husband
at Drimrath, and dying at a very ad
vanced ago, was buried with the Youngs.
-He is described by tho few old people
who now remember him, as having been
'cheery,
cheery, pleasant old gentleman, very
6nd of-Mr. and Mrs. Young's children.'L
So we may hope he forgot his grief in a
great measure. Ono thing is certain—
neither he nor Alice over saw Tullymoro
again. Alice led a long and useful life
at Drimrath. Her tombstone tells how
she fed the hungry, and clothed the
naked, and died regretted by all. I read
the inscription some years ago ; it ,is now
hardly legible ; but, if it spoke truth,.
her name is inscribed in certain, imper
ishable records, of which time 18 power
less to obliterate a letter.
Robert presented 111:Alice, soon after
their marriage, With a locket or medal
lion, containing her motlier's hair at one
side, and on the ether a painting repre
senting the coffin on a table, with Alice
and her sister Ann standing at either
end. Round the edge aro the wokls,
"Though lost to sight, to memory dear."
This quaint old relic often graces the
neck of a groat-great-grand-daughter of
Alien O'Hara.

~tethis- oars. 10, had no idea who we
were When ho told a the story, pointing
out the spot whore Mrs. O'Hara sank.
I was rallied by the rest of the party for
my gravity ; for Nod Daly had' told the
tale so graphically, that a kind of gloom,
like lough-Barra mist, seemed to wrap
me round. YoUlt was a foolish thing
to lot ono's self be saddened by the sor
rows of those who have boon at -rest so
long. What care . they now for the grief
suffered a hundred years ago? As.littlo
as our present . griefs will trouble - us a
hundtod years hence. •

iVe think the // t Come for us to
say in plain wards, .tvlia \ t;vp think of the
political progranimea" t mt have .tieeri
presented to, tho voters of tho United
Statos:: and in doing so, :we will ,endohvor
to give tho reasons for our conclusions.
Wo do not intend to-expatiate on po
litical matters,. but we think 'that me
clianicS:=-ManY'.of whom entertain our
ideas regarding mechanical .matters—
are'justly entitled to know. our political
views, especially Nyhou, ' the political
° thermometer of a country indicates a
fever heat upon issues, the results of
which aro pertinent to none more than
the mechanic.
It is the duty of every mechanic and em
ployer, its well as' thers of every trade and
profession, to givb somo thought to
those matters that must effect them some
.way or other; though they bo politloal
matters. Probably never ia the history
of this country was there 'mere need of
`thought In this direction. If Grant is
re-elected, what may be expected? Or
if Greeley be elected, what effect will it
have-,,upon the manufacturing interests
of the country? It is not likely that the
re‘oleotion of Geri: Grant will be fel
,.
lowed by any marked difference of policy
than thatmeted out in his present ad
ministration, save the changes incident
and natural to a progressive country ;
and if ,Grooloy be elected, what will be
the probable regime ?--and what is ho
likely to do that will better the condition
of manufacturers and employes? Will
the taking the " loaves and fishes" from
the mouths of no political faction and
transferi:ing them to another, be evidence
of a better state of, things? All should
look well into the record of Gen. Grant
while in the field and at head of the
army, and also while administerii g the
duties of chief magietrate of the ... :Won.
It must not be denied, and ca of if, at
tempted, that Gen. Grant h. made mis
takes,. Who has not? And who has
more gracefully, and with credit to him
self, stibmitted to the will of the pdoplo
when ho was ,satisfiet , his ideas in any
direction worn at variance with theirs?
That he is a groat statesman,. no ono'be-
Heves ; but thfit ho is a fearless, deter
mined, commonsense man, with execiitive
ability, rarely if ever equaled, all must
admit. Who else did see (and ninny
have triedjt) just what was wanted to
break down the 'Rebellion and restore
the Union? Greeley, orl,two occasions
—at Niagara Falls, and when Lee in
vaded Pennsylvania—insanely advised
the Administration to lot the Southern
States go in. peace. It is not difficult to
see who was the superior in-judgment
upon that issue, Let all mechanics re
alize it. Wind stories from the pens of
the N. Y. Sun (who scarcely a year past,
scathingly reviled Mr. Greeley), and the
'editors of the Tribune, have been put in
circulation regarding the Proiddent.,
framed, we believe, upon the merest
pretense Of corruption, which have been
added 'to, and republished; until it in be
lieved by some of their admirers and
those that-read ono side only, to be
true. We would ask all disinterested
persons—(wo aro not in " office" and
desire none)—to compare the administra:.
tion of the Republican party aniVGen.
Grant's administration, with Pierce and
Buchanan, the two last fie-called Demo
cratic Presidents, and soo,, which they
like best. Compare the prosperity of the
country—its manufactures, its agricultu
ral progress, tho wages of , labor of, all
classes—with what the situatidn was
when under the rule of the- very men
who now, through 31r, Greeley, aro ask—
ing votes to put them into power again,-
and it will be found that we live in entire
peace and amid plenty. "
With regard to Mr. Gpoloy, person
ally, wo all know he is a "great and
good man," but not one man living was
so bitterly tabooed and execrated by the
Southern leaders—tho very men who aro
now fawning upon him, waiting to lick
up the first fragMont of Governmental
spittlo that may 09zo from his immacu_
late lips. Wo all know that the Tam
many Ring is for Greoloy. Rynders, the
slave catcher, is for him. The same of
Semmes the pirate. Bradley Johnsen,
he who starved the Union prisoners at
Salislniry, N.'C., is. for him. Tho Mor
mons are fur Greeley. John Morrissey,
Barney Aaron, Miko,McCool, and other
noted professional prize lighters, aro
hand s and glove with him: With regard
to thp Tammany set,, we all, know .w.hat
it is,:aud what it is composed of. And
it cannot be denied. that Horaco and
Tweed ivero . , Opco ..kartners.
Tho • statements we have made , aro
facts, and wo ask the manufacturers and
Mechanics to, think upon thorn, and care
fully consider all that may bo brought
tolight by both parties during the ensu
ing struggle. , If this is done,. we believe
every Aptolligent moolianio, bo he Repub
