Song ofMe Irish Peasant Wife.

Song ofthe IrisA Peasant Wife.
BIZ MRS. NORTON.
Come, Patrick, clear up the storm on your
brow
You were kind TO me once-will you
frown on me now !!
Shall the storm settle HERE when from
Heav'n it departs,
And the cold from without find its way to
our hearts
No, Patrick, no, sure the wintriest wea-
Is easily borne while we bearit together.
Tho the rains dropping through from the
roof to the floor,
And the wind whistles free where there
once was a door
Can the rain, or the snow, or the storm
wash away
All the warm vows we made in loves
early day.
No, Patrick no, sure the dark stormy wea-
Is easily borne--so we bear it together.
When you stole out to woo me, when la
Dor was done,
And the day that was closing, to us
seemd begun,
Did we care if the sunset was bright on
the flowers,
Or if we crept out amid darkness and
showers
No, Patrick, we talk'd while we braved
the weather,
Ofall we could bear-if we bore it toge'
Their.
Soon, soon, will these dark dreary days
be gone by,
And our hearts be lit up with beam
from the sky,
Oh let not our spirits, embitter'd with
pain,
Be dead to the sunshine that comes to us
then;
Heart in heart-hand in hand-let us
welcome the weather,
And, sunshine or storm, we will bear it
together.

HAMPSHIRE County, Set:

Samuel 0. Hendron, made oath ac-
cordirg 10 law, before me justice &c
that he was born in Shenandoah coun-
ty, and resided in that county, and on
the borders Of it, except two years til
January, 1882, and is now about II
years of age. He knew BLAcKLEY
MARTIN we'll from his boyhood, ill
he (Marsin) left the county of She.
nandoah. Martin bore then always
the character of an honest man.
Affiant we'll recoIlects the charge of
steaing Corn preferred against Mar
tim byJAMEs KAHN, the result Of which
was the honorable acquitial of Martin
by the justices before whom he APP
peared on the warrant of arrest. The
prosecution did not at all injure Mar.
tins character. The opinion of the
community was that Kahn had been
guilty Of perjury, and many thought
and since sand, that Kahn himself had
stolen the corn, which he charged
Martin with having stolen. Affiant
knew kain and his character well nu-
ill Kain left that part of the county
sbont four years ogo-time not ex-
ac,ly recollected. Kain is a, man OF
the most infamous character, he has
been repeatedly prosecuted for char.
ges of stealing, &c. Warrants have
been repeatedly issued for his appre-
hension on all which occasions he
absconded-changed his residence and
eluded the prosecution. Atlantis well
satisfied that Kain would not be believ.
ed on oath where he is known, and
has heard, that Col. Carson swore in
court, at Woodstock, that he would not
believe Kahn on oath. 1t is only a
few weeks since that Affiant being in
Frederick was told, by magistrate of
that county, that Kahn who now resides
| near Middletown had recently been de-
tected in an attempt as it was believed
to steal some fat sheep-he kain was
seen to come out of a thiCket, un-
der suspicious circumstances, and on
search it was found that he had sew.
! eral fat sheep which belonged to a
| neighbouring farmer pened up in con-
| ceaIed place. Afiant knows that kain
is new considered rogue 10 the neigh
bourhood where he resides. la short,
| Affiant had he heen examined as a
witness in the cause recently tried be-
tween B. Martin and w. Dougherty,
would have testified and will at any
| proper time testify, that Kain Is
wholly unworthy of belief on oath.

It is we'll located for the comfortable
accommodation of boarders, and for
the moral government of the Semina-
ry. The subscriber falters himself
that the benefits of an institution thus
commenced by the advice of many
friends in whom he has the utmost con
fdence, will be at least commensurate
with the public patronage nor can he
doubt for moment that an enlishten-
ed community will take lively inter-
est in the success of an experiment, the
object of which is to elevate the stan
dard of female education TO the higbesl
grade of solid usefulness, combining
taste and elegance With moral and in
tellectual improvement.
The course of instruction will en-
brace ancient and modern languages,
including all the branches Of English
literature taught in the most approved
Summaries. For classical pupils the
charge will be $14 session, for Eng
Iish $1O. For music and other orha-
mental branches separate charge will
be made. The price of board, lodging,
washing and tuition, will be $75 ses-
sion, one half payable in advance.
The year is divided toto two sessions;
one commencing on the 10Th Of Feb
ruary and ending the 25th Of July, the
other commencing The 1st of Septem
ber and ending the 18th Of February.
Young ladies who may board with
the subscriber shall be governed with
parental affection. Strict attention will
be paid by himself and family to their
manners and habits, their studies and
recreations. No effort will be spared
to render them wiser and better every
day, that they may grow in favor with
God and man, the solace of their pa
rents and the ornaments Of society.
