He again arose and went to the window, tho

of anxious suspence, he again heard the sound
distinctly, and convinced that it was from

question was repeated full in his ear, which
startled him not little. Upon minute ex-
animation, however, he observed that the

A SINGULAR FAcINATIoN.- An English pa
per relates the following unaccountable occur
renee:
One of the most singular instances in con-
nection with material things, exists in the case
of young man who, not very long ago, WIS.,
tied large iron mandatory He stood cp-
posite large hammer and watched with great
interest its perfectly regular strokes. AT first
it was beating immense Jumps into thin black
sheets; but the supply becoming exhausted,
at length it only descended en- the polished
anvil Still the young man gazed intently
on its motion; then he followed its strokes
with corresponding motion of his head then
his left arm moved 70 the same tune and,
finally, he deliberately placed his fist upon
the anvil, and in second it was smtten to .
jelly The only explanation he could afford
was, that he felt an impulse to do it, that hs
knew he should be disabled, that he saw all
the consequences in a misty kind of manner,
but that he still felt the power within above
sense and reasou-a morbid impulse in fact,
to which he succumbed, and by which he lost
good right hand.

PINCH AND CEOGH O'LEARY,


PINCH AND CEOGH O,LEARY.
by JOHN KEEGAS.
One wintry day, long, long ago,
When 1 was little fellow,
A piper wandered to our door,
Gray-headed. blind, and yellow;
And, oh! how glad was my young heazt,
Though earth and sky looked dreary,
To see the piper and his dog
Poor Pinch and Ceogh OLeary.
And when he slowed away his bags,
Cross barred with green and yellow,
l thought and said" In Ireland's ground
There's not so fine fellow"
And Fineen Burke, and Shane McGee,
With Aileen, Cauth, and Mary.
Rushed in with painting haste to sec
And welcome Ceogh O'Leary.
Ali God be with those happy times,
All. God with my childhood,
When bareheaded roamed all day,
Bird-nesting in the wild wood;
I'll not forget those happy scenes,
However years may vary;
I'll not forget my early friends,
Nor honest Ceogh O'Leary.
Poor Pinch and Ceogh slept we'll that night,
And in the morning early,
Re called me up to hear him play
''The wind that shakes the barley"
and then he stroked my fiaxen hair,
And cried rod mark my ,leary,"
All, how wept when he said '' Farewell,
And think of Ccogh O'Lcary.'
Well, seasons went and come again,
And Ceogh was not forgotten,
Although we thought him dead and gone.
And in the cold clay rotten,
And often as walked or danced,
With Ailcen, CaUth, and Mary,
We spoke of childhood's rosy hours,
And prayed for Ceogh O'Leary.
Well, twenty summers had gone past,
And June's red sun was sinking,
As l man stood by my door,
OF twenty sad things thinking.
A little dog came up the way,
His gait was slow and weary,
And at his tail boccouch limped--
Twas Pinch and Ccogh O'Leary
Poor Ceogh-but, ;,h ! how woe begone,
His form is bowed and bending,
His fieshless hands are stiff and wan
Aye, time is even blending
The colors of his thread bare bag,
And Pinch is twice as hoary.
and thin-spare when first saw
Himself and Ceogh O'Lcary
Goods blessing here the wanderer cried
Far, far be hell's black viper;
Does anybody hereabouts
Remember Ceogh, the piper?'
With swelling heart grasped his hand
The old man murmured, 'Dearicl
Are you the silken headed child
That loved poor Ccogh O'Leary?" 2"
'Ycs, yesi'' said. The wanderer wept
AS if his heart was breaking.
"And where. Avicmachrce," said he,
'' Is all the merrJ-making
We had here twenty years ago.
MY tale,'' said {" might weary;
Enongh to say, there's not but me
To welcome Ceogh O'Leary!"
"Ohi vo! vol" the old man cried.
And wrung his hands in sorrow,
Pray lead me in. ashore macrce,
And I'll go home to morrow,
My peace is made, III calmly leave
This world SO cold and ureary,
And you shall keep my pipes and dog,
And pray for Ceogh O'Leary"
With Pinch. watched his bed that night,
Next day his wish was granted
He died-and Father James was brought.
And the requium mass was chaunted,
The neishbors came-we dug his grave,
Near Aileen, Cauth, and Mary
And there he sleeps his last sweet sleep
God rest you, Ceogh O'Leary.
