Hannah Jane: A • •
A second lieutenant, by 'the name of
was assigned to otii regiment,
who was born and "raised" in the
wilds of Indiana; and although he
possessed, naturally, - fairlntellectual
faculties, yet he had received no educa
tion save what had been imparted to
him in the rudimentary schools of the
rural districts along the Wabash valley.
His vernacular was redundant with the,
patois of his nativity, and Widely di
vergent from the acceptation of our
standard lexioograplers. He did not,
hoWever, seem at all conscious of his
soholastio deficiencies, and for a good
while continued to make use of hiaano
melons idioms, the oddity of which af
forded us no little amusement. The
young man evinced no, spirit of segre
gation, but was disposed to be quite so
cial with his'brother officers, and was
especially-fond of ladies' society. He
visited them Often; , and 'as his original
mariner of giVing expression to his sea
tinients diverted them, not a little, he
was always received kindly, and invi
ted to 'repeat 11113'64115.
About this time a young lady from
New York eitY, a Miss H , visited
the family of one of the officers, and
remained some Months with us. She
was highly accomplished, pretty, and
exceedingly animated, piquaut and at
tractive. Moreover, she possessed a ge
nial, amiable and kind disposition ;
but, like many others of-the fair sex,
her fondness for admiration occasional
ly carried her so far that her friends
very justly charged her with having a
dash of coquetry in her composition.—
Beside this, she had a decided penchant
for badinage and fun.
el l
No sooner bad she bee presented to
Lieutenant W----, th ii "
she compre
hended his character at a glance, and
at once brought her, he viest metal to
bear upon the eiteedin ly vulnerable
citadel of his heart ; an in a twink
ling made so great abr h therein that
tho poor fellow surrendered at disCre
tlon. Fkir the first time in his „life, he
foand himself most desperately ena
mored. ; • 1 '
He repeated his visits uay after day
or several weeks; and the young-lady ;
mpelled by a spirit of flirtation,' en
couraged his suit while be was in her
presence, but invariably took occasion,
as soon as his back was turned, to de
tail to her young lady companions ev-
Crything that transpired during the in
terviews.. ,

' 'Other equally foreible assertions of
his deYotion were made during this in
terview, ell of which were received by
the F ont -Joao in so gracious a niauner
as to afford him the most encouraging
hopes of ultimate success.
Of course the entire conversation was
detatled by .Mies with muuh
ieetO,hee associates , all of whom she
invited to be at her quarters on the fol
lowingoyening. A short time before,
had asked for and been
promieeda Special audience, for the pur
postOts she imagined, of making her a
tole' tender of his heart and hand.—
Ago rdingly, at the appointed hour,
they All assembled, and were quietly
ensconced in an apartment adjoining
the !sitting room, with the communica
ting door slightly ajar, so that they oo'd
distinctly hear every word that was
said,
Soon' after this the lieutenant made
his appearance in fall uniforth, and was
cordially received by his sweetheart,
Wilwasked him to take a seat near her,
and entered into seemingly a very cop
fidential but rather loud conversation
with him, which soon led him to ap
proich the subject of his dearest aspi
rations. Placing himself upon his knees
in front of her, with a most tender,
anxious and beseeching expression of
countenance and voice, but with consi
derable manifestation of diffidence, he
said, " Would ye like fur to Jim the ar
my,' .11—?"
"No," replied she, using his words,
' and imitating his peculiar diction, "I

When the Irish were converted to the
faith Elf lici . rde cart' scarcely be discov
ered, Until the opening of the six
teenth century they can hardly have
felt ,any bond of sympathy with the

- and the wide bogs of Connaught,
with their uncultivated and warlike
peoile, knew at least that the Bishops
of Rome bad ever been their bitterest
enemies, and that the English within
the pale relied upon the papal bull as
the chief ground of their usurpation.
It was remembered, no doubt, that the
Romisli priests bad taught thiit ah Irish
man might be killed like a deg, and
that Franiscau friars had urged the ex
tirpation i f the Irish race. It is possi•
l
ble, it is a most certain, that the native

tory, owe s no allegiance to Rome, and
that the I ish Church, endeared to the
native C lts by ages of persecution,
stil ministered by its primitive bish
ops and, with Colman and Columba,
traced its authority to Ephesus and Bt.
John. But all this was now to change.
A reformation' had passed over Europe,
and the chief leaders of the religious
moVetnent were Henry and Elizabethit
the persecutors of , the Irish name. The
English within the pale had become
Protestants, but they showed no diepo
tion to abandon the island which they
had i receivedfroni St. Peter's patrimo
ny ; and in the vigorous reign of Elis
abeth, the English armies, renewed by ,
the fresh' impulses of progress, began
to press once more upon the- limits of
Celtic independence. The conquest,
begunaearly four centuries before, was
now slowly advancing. Law') of ono:
sual severity were enacted, •tanistry and
other-Irish usages were abolished. It
was plainly the design of the English
queen to reduce the island 'to a passive
subjection to her power.
;The eanseof this fresh assault upon
the liberties of Irelandwas the restless
intrigues of the Jesuits . in that gal
lant struggle which Elisabeth was Ales•
tined to wage for the safety of ' her life
and, her crown against the Pope, the
Spartierds,,'liie, adhereiga of i Mary of
Scotland, and all Rowlett Europe, the

and 'from the Wreck of nation's to beild

re,was then, as now, the s.ecrt or open
aim of every Jesuit. To wound or to

Myres vs. Harris. This 'was One of
those rare and peculiar eases—breach of
promise of marriage—and occupied the
greater part of the forenoon. From the
evidence, it appears that the parties live
in or near Onondaga, that Harris bad
been a frequenT visitor for about two
years and a half at the house of the
plaintiff, a widow woman of nearly 80
years of age, with three children. It
seems to have been the opinion of the
friends of the plaintiff (and no doubt
she thought so herself) that Harris wo'd
marry her; buts he, from some nose
cowl table cause, a few monOis ago sud
denly discovered that he loved another
young lady better, and verified this be
lief a short time since by marrying the
other lady. Hence this action was
brought' by th plainti ff to recover' ida
mages, to app ly
as a salve to her woun
ded • affections The following tender
epistle, sent Nr the loVing swain, will
interest our• readers, and we recom•
mend it as a model love letter :
" My Dear Mre. ill: :—Every time I
think, of you, my, heart flops up and
down like a churn dasher. Sensations
of unutterable joy caper over it like
young goats on a stable roof, and thrill
thropgh it like a Spanish needle thro)-
a pair of linen trowsers. As a gosling
swimmeth with delight in a mud pud
dle, so swim lin a sea of glory. Vis
ions of ecstatic rapture, thicker than
the hairs of
,a blacking brush, and some'
brighter than the eyes of a humming
i
bird's pinions, visit me n my shim
hers and, I borne on their invisible
wings, your image stands before me,
and I reach out to grasp it, like a polti•
ter snapping at a blue-bottle fly. When
.1 first beheld your angelic perfoctions,
--r was bewildered, and my brain whirled
around like a humming bee under a
glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like
cellar doors in a country town, and I
lifted up my ears to catch the silvery
,accents of your- voice. My tongue re
fused to wag, and in silent adoration I
drank in the sweet infer ion of love as
a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of
hot whisky punch.
" Since the lighof you face fell up
-lon my life, I son s Imes telas if I oo'd
lift myself up hylt e boo straps to the
top of the church teeple, s Lond pull the
bell rope for sing ng echo, 1. Day and
night you are in.y thoughts. When
f l i
Aurora, blushing like 4: c. I, bride, rises
from her saffron 1 colore 'Couch ; when
the jaybird pipes, his tuneful lay in the
apple tree by the spring house ; when
the,chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds
the coming morn ; when the awaken

eth, and goeth for his morning'a re
freshments; when. the drowsy beetle,
Wheels to droning flight at sultry noon

home at milking UM°, - l ihitik of thee,
—and, like a plecC of el tic, my heart
seems sit - Itched clear across my bosom.
Your hair is like the. mane of a sorrel
horse, powdered with
i lgold; and the
brass pins skewered thr ugh your wat
erfall fill, me with unbounded awe.—
Your forehead is smoother than the el
bow of an old coat. Your eybs are glo
rious to behold. In their liquid depths
I see Fegions of little cupids b ( iithing,
like a - cohort of ants in an ol army
cracker. When their fire - hit me,,upoli
mymanly breast, it penetrated all my
anatomy, as a load of birdehot through
a. rotten; apple. Your. nose is from a
chunk of Parian marble, „and yoor
mouth.. Is puckered with sweetness.—
Nectar lingers on your lips like honey ii
on a bear's paw, and myriads of un
fledged kisses re i there, ready , to fly on
and light. som w ere, like bluebirds on
of their pare s is nest. Your laugi
rings in my e rs like the

The dimples on your
cheeks are 111 e bowers in the beds of
roses, or hollows, n cakes of homemade

I am dying to fly to: thy,:presence;
and pour'out the burning eloquence of I
My love, as thrifty' housewives pour out
hot coffee. Away from you, I am as
melancholy as a sick rat: Sometimes.
I can hear the June bugs of despond-
envy buzzing in my curs, and feel the
cold lizards-of despair crawling down
my back. 'Uncouth fears, like a thou
sand minnows, nibble at my spirits;
and my soul is pierced with doubts like
an old cheese bored with skippers.
" My love for you is stronger than
the swell of Coffey's patent butter, or
- -the kick of a young cow, and more-un
selfish than a kitten's first caterwaul, •
As a song bird hankers for the light a
