the gentlemen composing the secret police
Of his majesty, and more curious still to
study the personages. The chief is

full frame, with dark hair and eyes, dark
skin and ruddy cheeks. He wears n
small moustache and imperial, and although
he has military air, might pass for the
rich manufactures: or the busy agent for
some great company. Without An exag-
geratiop, he is as sbrewd looking man as
ever saw; his small, dark eyes are con-
stantly moving from side 10 side, under the
shade Of hat with An unfasl,ionable broad
brim no man near tbe circle Of bis move

characters and visages. Not one, Of them

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY IiOME.-Six
things are requisite to create 'happy

and tidiness the uph ,lsterer. 1t must be-
warmed by affection, and lightened up with

BLARNEY,

We extract the following from the cor
rcspondence Of the Baltimore american:
We were soon roaming through the spa
cious ruins Of Blarney Castle, which was built
in the year 1449, by Cor,nac McCarty,'
Earl of Clancarty, who was first summoned
to Parliament as Baron of Blarney in the
year 1868. The castle WAS held for James
IT,, and stood out severe siege against the
forces Of the Prince of Orange. A battery
was finally placed an elevated position,
which compelled them to surrendert the cas-
tie. The main ,turret and tower is one
hundred and twenty feet, and the stone cir
cuar stairway to its extreme height is still
in an excellent state of preservation. Its
walls, inside and out, are overrun to their
extreme height with woodhine and ivy, ad-
ding interest and beauty TO the ruins. Near
the top of the wall Of this castle is the fa-
nous "blarney stone" A curious tradition
attributes to IL the power of endowing.
whoever kisses it with the sweet, persuasive
wheedling eloquence so perceptibIe in the
language of the people Of Cork, and which
is generally termed "blarney-which has
been described by .ome i'll natured person
"a faculty Of deviating from veracity with
an unbusling countenance whenever it may
be convenient" The stone generally point.
ed out as the "real stone" is situated on the
top Of the building. and besides sculptured
treefoil bears the date Of 1903. Crocker's
favorite song of the "Groves of Blarney'
made This stone famous, and it is annually
viewed by tbodsands oftourists-for, as the
song says:
'eThere is a stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Obi he never misses
IA To grow eloquent.
Don't hope 10 hinder him,
Or to bewilder him
Sure he's pilgrim
~ From the Blarney stone"
The grounds around the castle are still
very beautiful and romantic, but the bsaut,
has been gradually diminishing, and it
~aiks.ars choked up with rubbish. Clos
at hand, however, are the famous "Grove
of Blsrney:'

NEVER SAY FAIL.

Keep pushing-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and sighing,
Aud waiting the tide.
In life's earnest battle
They only prevail,
Who daily march onward
And never say fail!
With an eye ever open,
And tongue that's not dumb,
And heart that will never
To sorrow succumb.
You'll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail;
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fall
The spirit Of angels
Is active, know,
AS higher and higher
In glory they go;
Methinks, on bright pinions,
From heaven they sail.
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fail!
Ahead. then, keep pushing,
And elbow your way,
Unheeding the envious,
And asses that bray
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
At the might Of their wisdom
Who never say fail!
In life's rosy morning.
In manhood's firm pride,
Let this be your motto
Your footsteps to guide,
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Well onward and conquer,
And never say fail!
