From the neighborhood of Belfast, Ire land, comes the best blood in the United States, the Scotch-Irish. From that race have descended many, if not the large ma jority of the conspicuous men of our coun try in every class and profession. The West field Republican tells the following story of a lad coining from the locality named. It is just such perseverance and energy that mark all of that blood : He is an orphan bearing the name of David Armitage, and before he struck ! out for himself,lived with his grandmoth er, in Belfast, Ireland. By dint of pru dent economy, with the help of his grand mother, he accumulated lour pounds ster ling, and with this fund purchased a half fare ticket to America. On shipboard, being a bright and pleasant boj' without friends, he soon attracted the special at tention, not only of the captain but of the cook as well, and it is to be presumed that he fared quite as well as did many an older one who paid for all the cabin and larder had to offer. He was landed in Boston but to New York he wanted to go, so was dispatched thither by the in terested captain. He arrived at Castle Garden and found himself alone in America, lie gave his name to the offi cers in charge of emigrants, and told t hem he had an uncle living in Westfleld by the name of Robert Shaw. There are a great number of VVestflelds in the United States, and as the lad did not know what state his friends lived in, postals were sontto twelve ditto re lit Westfields, all ad dressed to Robert Shaw. The one di rected to Westllcld, N. Y., was answered by telegram by Mr. Shaw of that place, and funds were forwarded immediately, with which the young traveler easily found his way to the desired desitnation, arriving there on Friday. He is a bright, pleasant boy of thirteen years, and his en terprise has brought him to a good home where he will be well cared for. A lady in Salt Lake City, who has en joyed the privilage of attending a family dinner party at which the host intro duced his second wife to his llrst wife and to his other acquaintances, has confi ded lux impressions to the Sacremento Union. After dinner, which dragged ter r bly,the bridegroom looking very sheepi h indeed, preparations were made for the opera. He placed his arm gent ly around thi! slender waist of his new bride, folded her cloak, close to her form and drew her toward him in the sight of his llrst wife and all the guessts. She responded to his caress with a tender glance, and the lady who describes the scene noticed in the first, wije's pallid face a look of ago nized endurance mingled with devilish malignity. When the visitor expressed her sympathy after the departure of the bride and bridegroom, the first wife re plied: "I am not jealous, but happy in this new love of my husband. Our faith teaches us to love these sisters in mar riage as our own Ilesh. This marriage is not an estrangement of my husband's love, as it would be In an unsanetitled Gentile, but a remarriage to myself. In this marriage I live over again my own espousal, my own bridal, and renew again the first sweets of married love." When the other guests, had gone, however, the truth came out unreservedly. "I am most wretched. Between me and any celestial lights, or any glory or peace or consola tion in this life or in the world to come, there stands that woman. Between me and all the light of my religion stands that woman. This girl's face is hateful to me; that my husband should love one j for her mere beauty alone! My imagiua-1 tion cannot be held back from all the soul-torturing, crucifying things which follojv in the train of his marriage.
