It was now eve -ning, and although the sun had set, the heat of the summer's day remained in all its oppressive fervor. Brian O'Sullivan looked around upon his wife and helpless family, and a momentary gleam of ferocity dashed faint his sunken eye—for the first time the murmur of implitience rose from his lips. The cry fur food had died away But when he met the subdued glances of his poor starving children, his heart swell ed with intolerable anguish. No sound was heard, save occasionally the - stifled groan of the youngest child, the little No rah, who lay on a straw pallet, resting her fevered head upon her mother's breast. Thtis the hours passed unmarked by- any change. Sometimes, but very seldom, there was a heart-rending appeal for food, and the low cry of hunger burst from the lips of the youngest children. Midnight came, and found the mother still watching by the bed of her dying child ; the inmates of the wretched hovel had sunk to rest on! the earthen floor. Mary O'Sullivan sat in breathless silence, listening to the un easy and unrefreshing, slumbers .of her helpless family, and, gazing on the wasted face of her favorite child. Sometimes a heavy sigh, or a low moan, attracted her attention ; and directing her eyes to where the sleeper lay, site would, descry, by the feeble rays of the flickering rushlight, a skeleton arm stretched forth, or the shad owy figurO of some child, who had risen to obtain a little water to cool its parched lips. At length, from mere exhaustion, she fell into a heavy slumber, from which she was aroused by the tones of her hus band's voice. She started wildly ; for never before had words of such fearful meaning met her car. '•.llary, atilora, you shall not die,' if these hands can gat you food !" he ex claimed. "I have been driven to this, not through my own faults, but from the heart less cruelty and opppression of those who can, and will not, save us. Shall I see my children dying about me, while there is plenty in the rand." Ills wife, terrified and amazed, glanced timidly in her Imshrimr st Inan. ml thorn cht, met a look that chilled her very heart's blood—the look of determined guilt and vengeance. Bursting into tears, and una ble to reply, she pointed to their sleeping child. O'Sullivan kissed the little suffer er, and for a moment the severity of his' gaze - disappeared ; but the emaciated face of his poor, patient wife, recalled his re collection ; and the awful thought that she also was dying for want of !owl almost maddened him. "Mary, (furnish machree, must I loose you too !" he exclaimed wildly. "God of heaven, she is dying ; And I have crouched upon my knees, and begged for a part of the dog's food, a crumb of bread, to save you, darling of iiiy heart; but I was spurned from the "oppressor's door; and told to be gone, and work for my food. Even then I could have forgiven the hard hearts that worked our ruin ; I could have blessed them on their beds of down, and prayed .that the chills of poverty might never reach them ; but now the cup of sorrow is filled, and I will not see my trea sures die, before I have made another ef, fort to save them." Ile rose hastily, and, trembling from ex haustion, quitted the cabbin. eldest son, a boy of fifteen, rushed after him, and, overtaking him a few steps from the door, besought of him to return. They were able to bear a little longer, he said; and as. soon as the morning dawned, he would seek for sonic employment. "My dear boy," said the agonized fath er, "you cannot change my purpose•; re turn home, and let me away ; for if crime must stain this hand, it must be in the darkness of night, when no human eye can sec the blush of shafne on your fath er's check." "But the eye of God," said the boy, mildly, "you cannot hide that!" -6, Shawn, say no more," was the re ply. "God will forgive me, for he knows the sore trials I have borne." The boy still entreated, but in vain ; he then begged that he might be permitted to accompany his father ; but Brian would not hear of this. Ile could not bear to be the means of leading his own child into the path of guilt and shame ; and, 0 ! hOw the strong heart of the unhappy father throbbed with agony, as' fie thought of the time, not far distant, when his children knelt around him, and will' their infant voices joined in the prayer, "Lead us not into temptation." Brian O'Sullivan re membered this ; and, embracing his soni he besought him, with tears, to turn to the home'of innocence, and let him do the er rand alone. And thus they parted. Shawn stolid for some moments, listen ing to the sound of his father's footsteps, as he hastened on his lonely way. His mind was strangely confused b all he had heard and witnessed, and could not bring himself to believe in the possibility of his father's committing a crime ; that father who had seemed to his young imal gination, the very emblem of all that was' good andtoly. lie could not believe that the Uod he had served so faithfulle would desert him now, in the hour of trial and dioqfe•r, • The suinineet , morning downed, and GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1847. brightly the sunbeams fell upon the home of misery. Home, did I say ? Alas ! how many such homes darken our beautiful and fertile land ; how countless now such scenes of desolation. The happy birds, flitting among the green branches, sung their song of praise, and the fragrant breath 'of the fresh fl owers arose on the breeze to ii leaven. Without, all was joy, peace, and l'eontentment ; but within the wretched hovel, there was deep sorrow—sorrow that might not be controlled. "Where is father ?" demanded a low, r sweet voice. "0, mother, there is some thing tearing me !" placing her hand upon her wasted breast. "Hush, avillish, hush !" whispered her weeping mother, "you will soon be free from pain, croon I" She knew not how truly her words would be verified. One of „lite children arose, and hastened to the door, hoping to obtain some tidings of their father. Gloom y and disappointed, he returned to his place by Norah's bed. A con vuki vespasm shook the child's frail body ; and again her brother sprang to the door, to look in vain for his father's return. The dying sufferer clasped her little hands in agony ; she strove, but fruitlessly, to reach her mother, that she might embrace her. ,Her head fell back, :mil the glazed eye and part ed lip told that all was over. :lust then a step was heard on the threshold, and Bri in O'Sullivan strode, or rather tottered, in to his wretched home., Flinging,a small bag of potatoes on the ground, he rushed to the bedside. "Mary—Norah—acushla agus gstkore mathree!" lie cried, wildly. "l have bro't you food. -But, Father of .Mercies, what is ibis ?" touching the lifeless hand of his child. "Head ! 0,- my darlings, and ire. you gone forever ? gone front the hearts that love you ? Jh your- sorrows are over ; and perhaps it is better," he con tinued mildly, "far better, that no forbid den food has stained those spotless lips. I would not have that departed spirit pro claim her father's sin among the angels of heaven. No, ahagur ! your eyes cannot now upbraid him ; and your ears are deaf to the voices that mourn over your early death." The elder children, aroused from their siuperaction by the sight of food, hastaned to spread the scanty fire, consisting of a few c o if! . the miserable food, until they had prevail-' ed on their father and mother to share it' with them. Brian O'Sullivan, lifting his eyes to heaven, fervently returned thanks to God for his mercies, and besought a blessing on their scanty meal ; he had, for the moment, forgotten the means by which that food was procured, but when the re membrance of his guilt crossed his mind, he was paralyzed with horror, that he should presume to lift his hand to heaven, he who had broken the commandment of God. The blood rushed to his temples, and, covering his face with his hands, he burst into tears. • Deep sobs were only heard ; and bitterly did they reproach themselves. for having given' way to one word of complaint, and thus causing their father such agony of soul. Ilis feelings becoming more composed, he strove to speak some comfort to his children, and with faltering wi l iice desired them to•eat.-- 7 The children looked at each other in si lence. then at the food, and their souls re coiled from the idea of touching it ; had it been the deadliest poison, they could not have loathed it more. Poor and humble as they were, they had been nourished on the bread of hotiestl, and tlie - Y dared not violate their sacred principles. "Father," said the eldest boy, "we can not touch that, we would sooner die ; we do not blame you, father, mavourneen ; it was not done for you own sake, though the hunger was sore on you, but for the sake of your starving children." "Now I can thank God with an unblush ing face," said Brian. '•I can thank him for his mercy in keeping you untouched by guilt, among so many trials and temp tations, and may he pardon one for my many sins. The latch of the door was raised. "It is the soggarth," exclaimed Brian, hast ening to meet his beloved pastor. Joy il lumined the countenanees of all, on be holding their only friend, into whose faith ful bosom were poured their sorrows, and although poor himself, he lost no tltne in supplying their wants ; .but one young heart was stifled forever, no human aid could make it throb again. Not in the se crecy of the confessional did Brian o'Bo - relate the fearful aoventure of the previous night; but in his lowly cabin, by the bed whereon his dead child slept, he, on his knees, confessed 'to the minister of God that crime, which to him appeared of awful magnitude. The good priest was deeply moved, for never before had the lips of that humble penitent breathed..f4th Such a declaration; never before hadjlie Soul of the prostrate sinner been stained with guilt; and as he, in agony of spirit, "smote upon his breast," and prayed aloud for mercy, the glance of displeasure faded from the priest's face, and, as the tears, rolled dOwn his aged cheeks, he "whisper ed in the poor penitent's ear the, welcoMe tidings, that the bi4)ken' and contrite he,ait is not despised in heaven. By the voice of thegworld, Brian O'Sullivan ‘voilld be branded as a thief, a midnight robber. :0, if those who Would thus coldly and heed lessly. condemn-'him could have but:enter ed his poor home, how Would have nieltetl into sorrow ! "FEARLESS AND FREE." Ittivre but gazed on the lifeless remains of the child whose spirit was with God, as she lay on her ragged bed, hol i ding. in her cold grasp, a bunch of wild rosesaffec tion'o °fibrilla to the dead—and listened to tlt voices that arose to heaven, seeking the, orgiveness the cold world would de ny-, surely, in skit a scene, they would have read their own condemnation. The charitable and anxious priest hast ened to restore the stolen food to its own er. and to obtain from him forgiveness of the crime, without exposing the criminal, and thus O'Sullivan was saved from.the ,consequence of that guilt into which want and starvation had plunged him. This i 3 no exrgerated picture of the suf ferings or the virtues of the Irish peasan try.- Surely, a brave, moral, and religious people will no longer be permitted, in the midst of plenty, to endure such sufferings. We might have turned a still darker page, and yet not have dealt in exaggeration ; we mighrhave consigned the victim to a loathsome prison, and left him to rot there, without a shadow of hope. We might have the wretched family through lonely- wanderings, and seen them spurn ed from the 'door of plenty by pampered menials. Surely, such a state of things cannot last forever! Surely, the peace and comfort, nay, the very lives of the', comtnunity, are not to be sacrificed for the sake of the children of prosperity ! It is time that the great ones of our land would ' consider the cause of the. people. Fearful ; is the calamity which is . itow impending over them ; and titess - active steps are ta ken to avert the threatening ruin, we fear much that the virtue of our poor country-. men will fall a sacrifice—the virtue that -no trills could hitherto overcome. You, who shudder at the recital fir - the crimes committed by the Irish . peasants,' bestir yourselves to endeavor to- remove _the cause-of those, crimes.

IV4I - kIiNGTON AND THE SPY DT WM. T. 110110E119, JR During the month of May, 1787, New Brunswick was occupied by the British Army Under Gen. Howe, while the Amer ; cans, having left their winter camp at Mor ristown, were posted along tlie-mountinous Iridge just- back of Middlebrook. From Ithe commanding elevation afforded by the ridge, they were enabled to watch the mameuvres of the enemy, who, it was I suspected, contemplated a movement across New Jersey to Philadelphia, and to the the prostration of this scheme all their en ergies- were directed. • General Washing ton commanded his diVision in persOn.— :He was aware that the British General had some project, which he was preparing I to put into immediate' execution; but did i not know with any drigree of certainty, the !direction in which the demonstration was to be made. Ile had given orders to his scouts to hover as near as : practicable, and in case of the least:sign of a motion in the . British camp, to report immediately. The'scouts came in regularly, bringing intelligence that preparations' indicative of achange of position were going on slowly. and steadily,lint nothing of the actualinten . tions of Gen. I lowe, had as yet transpired. (At the' summit Of the mountain, in the rear of the American camp, distant nearly an eighth of a mile, is a very large rook, rising boldly from amidst a clump of ce dars, the top of which commands a View -of the surrounding, country, for a circuit, of. nearly :fifty miles. At this spot, during the day, at almost any hour, might have been:seen a group of Continental officers, anxiously watching, with the assistance of a glass, the move ' ments of the armies at N Brunswick, Am-, boy and Staten Island. Thi when tlib , shades of twilight fell, and darkness' . drew her sombre veil over the face of nature, the rock was deserted, and all sounds were hushed in the .republican camp, except the hoarse challenge and reply of the ever watchful sentinels. --At-this'hour the great General,.who while his life was devoted ' to his beloVed country, never forgot his du :ty to the Goo who rifled the destinies and guarded the liberties of the oppreaied strug ' Ong patriots, was accustomed to visit this secluded place where reigned a heavenly and -, !OlyHlm to axend an hour ~b.l VI ajt . 11/ t lIC utt ' , ' enemies of liberty are, coldly plotting her destruction, and the hireling thousands of the tyrant king, the Britain, and the mer i cenary Hessian, are panting for rapine and plunder, the patriotic leader, the hero and the statesman, the warrior and the sage, - knees humbly to the God of battles, .and invokes his blessing upon his efforts, his aid and assistance in the hour of need ! Well might the cowardly oppressors, while Wondering at the success, tremble at the power of such a man, and despair of ever conquering the country, whilst he headed I the "rebel army." The Americans remained quietly en camped at Middlebrook until the early part of 'June, watching with an eagle eye every movement of the enemy. On the evening of the 13th, after the sentinels had been posted, and the night patrol commenced their rounds, a solitary horseman, dresded in .the.guise of a- plain country farmer, entirely unarmed, was urging his fatigued and reeking.steed along the northern banks of the Raritan, in the direction of the Americancainp! When he arrived within half a mile of the outposts, he turned his horse's head to the northward, and having reached the foot of the nicluntain, he dismounted, and secu ring his animal to a sapling, took 'his way on foot, among the thick growth or under brush up the rocky ascent. Occasionally he would halt as if listen ing intently, to learn whether he was - in any danger of discovery; then, as though satis tied that he was unobserved, would recom mence his walk.. After having picked his way for nearly a mile, with the air of one perfectly familiar with the locality, noiv creeping upon his hands and knees beneath the overhanging and thickly matted vines, now clambering over rugged • interposing rocks, again threading the intricate mazes of the cedar brush—he paused to look about him. He had gained the summit of the Mountain, and was standing within fifty rods of the clump of cedars growing about' the base of the rock. He stood a few mo ments to contemplate the striking scene. A new moon shed its pale lustre on the face of reposing nature, and gilded each bush and treetop with a golden glory. Directly before him lay the liaritan, winding gently between its sloping grass grown banks, through a section of country as fertile as it is beautiful—each ripple, as it danced to the plaintive music of the mountain breeze, sparkling in the moon beams like . a priceless gem. Parther ,to the eastward the vast Atlantic, its bosom ever heaving, dashed its foaming surges on the beach with a sullen roar, that, mellow-. ed by the distance, came upon the ear like the .dying moan of a mighty wind. At his feet lay an army of heroes, wrapped in profound slumber, and but for the presence of a few dusky figures, slowly and n tiileti4Ly • pacing to and fro, noitevidenee of life could have been detected. At , his right * the huge rock, covered with the accumulated moss of ages, stood forth in majestic splen dor, rearing its proud erown high..toward heaveti,,as if conseious of its supetiority ever all surrounding objects—the whole forming.), scene of unequalled grandeur and, beauty.
