A STORY for a winter Fireside.

One evening on which a merry Christmas
party was assembled in an hospitable country
mansion in the north of England, one of the
company, a young man named Charles Lisle,
called the host aside, as they were standing in
the drawing room before dinner, and Whisper
ed. al say, Graham, wish you would put me
into room that has either bolt or key"
"They have all keys, or should have" re-
turned Mr.. Graham.
aThe key of my room is lost" returned the
other; g | asked the housemaid. 1t is always
the first thing look to when l enter strange
bed-chamber. | can't sleep unless the door is
locked"
aHow very oddlo | never locked my door
in all my life,n said Mr. Graham. I" say, Le-
tita" continued he, addressing his wife, here's
Charles Lisle can't sleep unless his door is
locked, and the room you've put him into has
no key" 'f4 g5saI
AT this announcement all the ladies' looked
with surprise at Charles Lisle, and all the gem
tlemen laughed and allow odd u and "What
a strange fancy ~ was echoed among them.
az dare say you do think it very odd, and
indeed 1t must appear rather lady-like par
ticularity," responded Lisle, who was fine,
active young man, and did not look as If he
were mucl troubled with superhuous fears
Hbut a circumstance that occurred to me when
was on the continent last summer has given
me n nervous horror of sleeping in roomw with
IN unlocked door, and have never been able
to overcome IT, This is perhaps owing to my
having been i'll at the time, and can scarcely
say have recovered from the effects .of that
illness yet"
Naturally, everybody wanted to hear what
this adventure was--'the programme being cer-
tainly exciting-and so one of the visitors of
fered to exchange rooms with Charles Lisle,
provided he would tell them his story; which,
accordingly, when assembled round the fire in
the evening, he began in the following words
"You must know, then, that last year, when
was wandering over the continent, partly in
search of the picturesque, and partly to reme-
dy the effects Of too much study, or rather too
hasty study-for believe man may study as
much as ne plensesi IL ne VIII oiiy tahe IL easy,
as the Irish say--I was surprised one evening
by violent storm of hail, and it became so
suddenly dark, thatI could scarcely see my
horses head had twelve miles to go to the
town at which intended to pass the night,
and knew there was no desirable shelter
nearer unless choose to throw myself on the
hospitality of the monastery of Pierre Chatel,
which lay embosomed amongst the hills lit
tie to the east of the road was travelling,
There is something romantic and interestingly

not say anything. After short mental debate

Old Fashioned Irish oourting.

In tho south of Ireland nm sAbduction
Club" was established, the members of which
bound themselves by an oath to assist in car
rying OFF such young women as were fixed
upon by any members. They had emissaries
and confederates in every house, who commu-
nicated information of particulars-the extent
of the girls fortune, the state and circum-
stances of the family, with details of their in
tentions, and domestic arrangements and
movements When girl was thus pointed
out the members drew lots, but more general
ly tossed up for her, and immediate measures
we're taken to secure her for the fortunate
man by all the rest No class of society was
exempt from their visits, and opulent farmers
as well as the gentry were subject to these en-
gagements Of the clubs, according to their
rank in life.
The persons who were most usually con-
cerned in such clubs were II class of men
Astounding in Ireland, called ''squireens" They
were the younger sons or connections OF re-
spectacle families having little or no patri-
mony of their own, but who scorned to demean
themselves by any useful or profitable pursuit.
They are described by Arthur Young and other
writers of the iay, as distinguished in fairs

SWEARING IN HRBREw.-Not long ago, as
was on my way from Newark to Jersey city, in
the cars observed a young lady sitting oppo-
site to me, who seemed very mach annoyed by
the conversation of young naval officer, which
was continually intermugled with oaths. She
at length, (haying sat as long as she could
without reproving him. said, "Sir, can you
converse in the Hebrew tongue n He replied,
''that he could" expecting, no doubt, to hold
She then politely informed him that ii he
wished TO swear any more, he would greatly
oblige herself and probably the rest of the
passengers, If he would do it in that language.
The young man was silent during the remain

POETRY.
[for tho Delaware Inquirer
THE BETRAYED.
By FINLEY JOHNSON.


Twas in the spring when beauty sat
Upon the leaves and streams;
And hope was filling day and night,
The heart with summer dreams,
A fair young girl, with flowers sweet,
Stood upright in my way,
And in mild angelic voice,
Entreated me to stay.
Yet, when again saw the form
OF that once happy childi
Her purity, alas was gone
Gods image wa, defled;
The joys of youth from her had passed,
And misery roupd did ringi
Her life to her no summer brought,
But autumn linked to spring.
There is not one to love her now
No sisters arm to press
Around her form, or part aside
The shining, golden tress;
No voices sweet are whispering,
As in the days Of yorei
A brothers or a sisters love,
She will receive no more.
blame her not, for all are frail,
The brightest forers wiA fade;
The sweetest hearts are ritied first
And Of their trust betrayed =
The purest angels upon earth
May fall into a snare;
The truest hearts may oft be plunged
In darkness and despair.

PRIDE AND HUMLIry.-I never yet found
pride in a noble nature, nor humility in an un-
worthy mind. OF all trees observe that God
hath chosen the yine--a low plant that creeps
upon the helpful wall of all beasts, the soft
and patient lamb of all fowls, the mild and
guileless dove. When God appeared to Moses
il was not in the lofty cedar, nor the sturdy
oak, nor the spreading plane but in abush-
an humble, slender, abject bash, As if He
would, by these elections, check the conceited
arrogance of man. Nothing procureth love
like humility nothing hate like prides-Fsh-
hams RESOLVES. 9 I f.j 56las sss

the little grove, out Of which all the under

We do not know; but, suppose they did,
what of it? The falling of an apple, it is
said, suggested certain things to the inquir-
ing mind of Newton, and it may be that
the able articles of Mr.. Merrifeld on the
carly history of Mishawaka. &c, suggest
ed the idea to Mr.. Taylor of writing the

other Mishawakian would like very much
to know or if You think the information
would be of public utility.

Democratic Election Frauds in Maine.
The Northeastern part of the State of
Maine, constituting the ArooStock, is a
wild and -parsely settled district, within
which there have been in,imationS from
time TO time, of extensive fFards practiced
on the elective franchise, by the friends
of the National Administration The Pc
culiar township and plantation organiza-
ton in vogue there since 1910, has afford
ell special facilities for operations of this
sort. Last fall, a desperate effort having
been determined on to secure the return
of one or more Administration men to
Congress, the business was SO greatly over
done as to excite general attention A
committee of the Legislature specially rails
ed to inquire into this matter, has recent
ly reported The New York Ercning
Post gives the following summary Of last
falls transactions in this line, as disco-
sed by the committees report:
Tie principal fraud appears to have
been pcrpctratei in Hancock plantation.
One hundred anil sixty-six Illegal votes
were given, and the residence of one hun
dred and fifteen persons, whose names are
returned as having votel. could not be
found. Large sums of money were ex-
pended in all these plantations, and paid
directly to the voters so much a head
Liquor was freely supplied, and at the
polls in Hancock plantation great num-
bers of the voters were drunk, and some
of them stripped themselves to the skin
and capered about in the sight of women
and children. Here. too, all the Repub-
lican voters were driven from the polls,
and their lives threatened In Hancock.
Mr. Dickey. a Custom Honse officer, exam
ined the votes and arranged them to his IL
king, after the style of his fellow parti-
zans in Kansas, who made such effective
use of candle boxes and the Cincinnati
DIRECTORY. In Madawaska, Custom
House officer stood all day over the bal
lot-box counted and declared the votes.
In Van Buren, the voters were expelled
from tie room while the votes were
counted, and Mr. Hammond, an alien.
aided in counting and declaring the votes
All the democratic votes, in clear viola
ton of the law, were printed on blue pa
per, to insure performance of contract on
the part OF the paid voters. All the legal
requirements regarding the manner of con-
dncting elections were fiagrantly disobcycl,
and the Collector Of Passamaquaddy was
