THE HEIR OF LINN.
BY W. J. SMELLING.

There is as beautiful Scotch ballad by
this title as | ever saw in my life; it
made very strong impression upon me;
but as the ballad is not to be found, | will
endeavor to tell the story in plain prose.
The Laird of Linn, in Galway, was
one of the richest landed proprietors in
Scotland. Besides the lands and dwell
lings, he had focks and herds, and good
stock of gold. Moreover, he was a man
of frugal disposition, so that the men of
Galway avoided his company, and the
whole town cried shame on him. Never
tholess, his riches grew and increased to
a mighty sum, and there was no telling
what heaps of treasure he had concealed.
The Laird oe Linn did not marry till
late in life, and his wife died within a
year after his marriage. She left him
one child, son, who was the joy and
plague of his existence. Though natu-
rally Of generous nature, he was wild,
reckless and extrayagant Seeing and
hearing his father ridiculed for bis mi
sorly temper and habits, lie resolved at
all events not to be like him, and spent
all he could lay bis hands on among low,
dissolute companions, in riotous living
so true it is, that one extreme produces
another. It was in vain that bis father
demonstrated with him; he only grew
worse as he grew older.
At last the Laird Of Linn lay on his
death bed. He had outlived all his re n
relations, and he had no friends, SO be
was obliged to leave all his subsistence to
his son, and besides, next to his gold, he
loved his prodigal heir. Previous to his
death he called the heir Of Linn TO his
bedside and thus spoke:
"NIy son, when my lips are cold in
death, and my tongue lies silent in the
grave, / know how it will be with you.
You will spend all the subsistence Of your
ancestors, and all the gold | got together,
in dissipation and extravaganza. Never
theless. / do not wish my son to live a
beggar Therefore give heed to my on
ly dying command, and if you disregard
it, may fathers dying curse cling to
you. The upper chamber of my house
in Kippletringan is now locked up and
the key thrown into the sea. When you
have lost both gold and lands, when you
are actually suffering for crust to APP
pease your hunger. break the door open,
and you will find a certain relief, but if
you break the door open before thatiime,
say again, may fathers curse cling
to you"
With these words the old man fell
back and expired.
The heir of Linn did not long grieve
for his parent. He soon after threw open
the house to all corners. His forests fell
beneath the axe. His cbimneys were
always smoking, a hundred men sat dali
ly at his board, and he bought horses
aud hounds, and he lent money without
counting it to his dissolute companions
he tested and drank and gambled as il
he could not get rid Of all his substance
in all these ways; he took no care Of his
affairs. but gave up the guidance Of
them to bailiff or steward named John
Scales, who was a knave and notorious
usurer. John cheated bis master in a
variety Of ways, and put more than half
his rent into bis own pocket,

heard afar the lannon's roar,
Its lightning flashed from shore to shore,
In exultation rose on high,
The mighty and the laundering cry
OF victory
But where was he whose dauntless shield
Was foremost on the battlefield?
Where was the cheftain, truth reyered,
That heroes loved and despots feared;
The glory of whose setting sun,
Immortal deeds of valor won,
And mid the dying and the dead,
Its latest beams in triumph shed,
For Liberty
Ills honoredaciay ii darkness sleeps.
And while mourning nation weeps,
The loss of him its flower and pride,
Who for his country fought and died,
His spirit to purer sphere,
Pleads for the loved and cherished here.
Oh, Johnston when the bugle's sound,
Calls brother son and sire around
The standard Of the true;
Altho' no more in fearless pride,
You sweep along the battle line,
And foremost swell the bloody tide,
With soul heroic and divine,
Your cherished and unsullied name,
Shall lead your men to deeds of fame,
And vengeance from the crimsomed sod,
Shall speak to them and unto God,
For freedom and for you
Oh, Liberty tho coward hate,
With ruthless hand may desolate,
And stain with base malignant creed
The sacred homes our father freed
Hope, like the angel at the tomb,
Amid the darkness and the gloom,
Your resurrection waits.
And, oh when peace shall smile again,
And ships upon the distant main,
Free as the pillows Of the seas,
Shall fling our banner to the breeze;
Then, Johnston, mid the glorious free,
Your name as now the first shall be,
OF our Confederate States A. G.

More About the Negro brigade.

More About the Negro Brigade.
Notwithstanding the assertion to tho
contrary, the existence Of an incipient ne
gro brigade in this city, We arc assured,
is an established fact. The project Of
eDlisting negroes for the military service
Of the government originated some four
months since with Mr.. Peter McDermott,
formerly an officer Of Gen. Sickles' bril-
gade, and Mr.. John Creighton, formerly
lieutenant colonel Of the Sixth Regiment
N. Y. S. V. These gentlemen were Of
the opinion that brigade of colored men,
organized to do service in the extreme
Southern points would be an advantage.
and save the lives Of tho white soldiers
unaccustomcd to the climate. They also
proposed to organize negroes as working
regiments for the purpose Of building for
tiGcations and digging intrenchments.
After discussing the plan in all its bear
ings, Mr. McDermott and Mr. Creighton
consulted their friends and parties likely
to assist in the project, and became salts
fed that it was possible. Agents we're
obtained who went among the colored
pOpuldblOH vi til5 cityf 4 Hllduttpnld ana
Boston, and they found no difficulty in
obtaining recruits. These facts being
asccrtained, Col. Creighton, few days
ago, went TO Washington to tender to tho
War Department brigade Of six thou
sand colored men, to be ofiicercd by white
men. The brigade is to be commanded
by Mr.. Creighton, and the first regiment
by MIR. McDermott. The remaining
colonies, though designated, have not
been absolutely chosen.
Col Creighton, when in Washington,
conferred with the War Department, to
whom he submitted sample Of the uni
form to DO worn by the brigade. No
definite reply has been given, but the en-
tire subject is under advisement by the
War Department. ~ Y, Eaprcss.
