with glass of good brandy, such as is made
in the country. He had descendants in the
fifth generation, with whom he sometimes
sportcd, carrying them in his arms. His
son, though ninety-seven was still fresh
and vigorous. When field marshall count
Wallis, the commandant at Temeswar,
heard that this old man was taken sick, he
caused portrait Of him to be painted, and
when it was almost finished he expired
Dennis Hampson, the blind bard of Mag
gilligan, of whom an interesting account has
been given by lady Morgan, in "The Wild
Irish Girl" died at the advanced age Of l10
years. The "Atheneum," from whence
this notice is extracted, relates, that only
few hours before his decease he tuned his
harp, that he might have it in readiness to
entertain Sir H. Bruce's family, who were
expected to pass that way in few DAYS,
and who were in the habit OF stopping to
hear his music; suddenly however, he felt
the approach Of death, and calling his fami-
ly around him, resigned his breath without
a struggle, and in perfect possession of his
faculties to the last moment. A kindred
spirit produced the following tribute to the
memory of this "aged son of song" He was
the oldest of the Irish bards.
The fame of the brave shall no longerbe sounded.
The last ofour bards now sleeps in his grave:
Alaggiligan rocks where his lays have resounded.
Irown dark at the ocean, and spurn at the
wave.
From Hampson, no more shall thy soul-touching
finger
Steal sweet DER the strings, and wild melody
| pour;
No more near thy hut shall the villagers linger.
While strains from thy harp warble soft round
the shore.
Nomore thy harp swells with enraptured emotion,
Thy wild CLEANS of fancy forever are fled,
NO longer thy minstrelsy charms the rude ocean,
That rolls near the green turf that pillows thy
head
Yet vigour and youth with bright visions had fired
4 thee,
And rose-buds of health have blown deep ON
thy cheek;
The songs of the sweet bards of Erin inspired
thee.
And urged thee TO wander like lsurels to seek.
Yes,oft hast thou sung of our kings crown'd with
glory.
$ Or, signing, repeated the lovers fond lay;
And oft hast thou sung of the bards famed in
D story,
Whose wild notes of rapture have long past a.
way.
Thy grave shall be screen'd from the blast and
the billow,
Around it fence shall posterity raise,
Erin's Children shall wet with their tears thy
: cold pillow,
Her youths shall lament thee, and carol thy
praise.

Without sense of gratitude. The bouShs,

Yelling their tales, through the long summer

2han OF the generations, who have sat,
y long succession, on the messy tart
Ehat beds these twisted roots. Sunshine and

Darkness and storm, have been around these

knd they have smiled to the unclouded sky,
1nd rocked in the rude tempest, but have stood
1nbroken, while the stream oe human life
Vas ebbed and flowed ike the perpetual tide,

And think thou nearest in the ancient wood

morning that Gen. Lafayette landed at Sta

1924, rainbow was observed spanning the
heavens, its basis resting on Staten and Long
Island, and archng the narrows. This fact
was observed at the time, and the circum-
stance made the subject of several para-
graphs in which the fancy cf the editorial

rHEs YELLOW DOMINO.

In the latter part of the reign of Louis
XIV. of France, masquerades were an enter
tainment in high estimation, and public ones
were often given, at immense cost, on court
days, and such occasions OF rejoicings. As
persons of all ranks might gain admission to
these last spectacles, provided they could
afford the purchase of the ticket, very
strange recontres frequently took place at
them, and almost as curious, in the way of
disguise, or assumption of character. But,
perhaps, the most whimsical among the
genuine surprises recorded in any of these
spectacles was that which occurred in Par
is, the 18th of October, OH the day when the
Dauphn son of Louis XIV )attained the age
of one and twenty.
At this fete, which was of peculiar gilt
tsring characterize much so, that the de-
tails of it are given at great length by the
historians of the day; the strange demeanour
of man in a yellow domino, early in the
evening, excited'attention. This mask, who
Showed nothing remark able as to figure
though rather tall, and of robust proportion
seemed to be gifted with an ahhetHe, not
merely past human conception, but passing
the fancies even of romance.
sThe dragon of old, who churches ate,
{He used to come on Sunday,)
Whole congregations were to him,
But dish of salamagundi,'
he was nibbler- mere diddlcr, to this
stranger of the yellow domino. He passed
from chamber to chamber--from table to
table Of observation-disclosures tasting but de-
vouring-devastating all before him. At one
board he despatched fowl, two thirds OF
a ham, and half a dozen bottles of cham
pagne; and the very next moment was
found seatedsin another apartment perform
ing the same feat, with stomach better
than at first. This strange course weut
on, until the company (who at first had
been amused by it) became alarmed and tu-
matuous.

the guards, as the yellow domino rose from
seat opposite to m,and Quilted the apart
ment.
Il have seen but one-and, by heaven here
he is agaili!'. exclaimed the party TO whom
the auery was addressed.
/ The yellow domino spoke not word, but
proceeded straight to the vacant seat which
he had just left, and again commenced sup
ping, as though he had tasted tor the half
of campaign.
At length the confusion, which this pro-
ceeding created, becomes universal: and

LONGEVITY.

5th January, 1924, at kofrosch, a village
four miles from Temeswar, OH the road

therefore, a hundred ard eighty-hve years.
AT the time when the Turks took Temes-
war from the Christians, he was employed
in keeping his fathers cattle. 4 few days
before his death; he had walked, with the
help of stick, to the post-house at kot-
! rosch, to ask charity from the travellers.
His eyes wereimuch inAamcd, but he still en-
loved little sight. His hair and beard were
of a greenish white color, like mouldy bread;
and he had few teeth remaining. His son
who was ninety-seven years of age, deciar-
ed his father had once been head taller;
that at great age he married tor the thiro
