The reply was that they were asleep. and that they would then be reused. So secret were all the arrangements kept, that none of the puhic had the east intelligence of the intended
 rnoval of the two prisoners. At about haf-psst six o'clock Mr Martin issued from his cell, end stood tn the prison hall, prepared for departure. He bade a kindly farewell to the governor and officials. and warmly shook hands with one or two gentlemen who were present Mir. o'Doheriy then came out. dressed as if for travelling. Mir Martin expressed himself as in good health, but there appeared pain fu shortness in his breathing and his cheeks seemed flushed. As they stood in the hall side door opened, and Mr. Smith O'Brien stood in the door way, having come from his cell to bid farewell 10 his fellow prisoners, perhaps forever. This scene was soon over, and, turning away from the door, which closed again their friend, the two prisoners snnounced themselves ready. Mir. M'Manus came down also, and wished to remain and see them de- part, but this privilege was not allowed him. He took his brief and painful adea and returned to the solitude of hs prison After some delay in getting fixed the few articles of baggage belonging to the pFisoaers the van, with it's escort issued from the prison gates, where It met by nearly regiment of dragooas-the advanced guard with loadedear- pines, and the rest with swords drawn.

One night Ned and Charley had been out, and on returning, which they did near morning, both were considerably elevated However. they walk cd up to their rooms with air that seemed to say, "not so very darned drunk after aIi,' and sought long and patiently for matches and lamp. After knocking the pitcher of the wnshstand and smashing the looking glass, they fiHaIIy gave up the search and went to bed. Went to bed-yes, that's the word, but owing to the dark ness and the confusion of their they made slight mistake. In short.

THE HOT SEASON.

BY DR. HOLMES. IN ls36. The folks that on the first of May Wore winter coats and hose, Began 10 say, tue fiFsi of June,
 !" Good Lord. how hot Il grows" At last two Fahrenbeits blew ID. And killed two children small, And one barometer shot dead
 A tutor with his ball Nov all day long the locust sang Anoeg the lesfiess trees; Three new hotels warped inside oai, The pumps could hardly wheezs; And ripe old wine. that twenty years Had cohwebbed OCT in vain, Came scouting through the rotten corks Like 4eiy's best chsmpagnel The Worcester locomotives did Their trip in half an hour; The Lowell cars ran forty miles Before they checked the power. Roll birthstone soon became drug, And loco-focos fell; All ssked for ice, but everywhere SaItpetre was to sSll. Piamp men of mornings ordered tights, But, ere the scorching moons, Their candle monlds had grown as loose As Cosssck pantalooBs. The dogs ran mad-tBen could not try If water they would choose; A horse fell dead--he only left
 Four ered-hot rusty shoes. But soon the people could not bear The slightest hint of fire; Aliusions to caloric drew
 A flood of savage ire; The leaves on heat were all torn out From every book al school, And many blsckgaards kicked and eaned. Because they said" Keep cool" The gas light companies were mobbed, The bakers all were shot, The penny press Began to talk
 Of Lyuching Doctor Mott; And all about the warehouse steps Were angry men in dFoves, Crashing and splintering thro' the doors To smash the patent stoves. The abolition men aud maids
 Were tuned 10 such hae, You scarce could tell them from their friends Unless their eyes were blue; And when left, society
 Had burst its ancient guards. And Bratfle street and Temple place Were inierchanging eards.
