and just few days before there had been

Of people followed in, and one bowed and

1 done it jist as was gwine to drink,
and I'll be hanged if I didn't think they
would all go into fits. they elled and
whooped like gang of wolves. Finally
one of them seZ:
Don't make fun of the poor unfortu-
nate; he's hardly got over bein' blowed

They all throwed in and made up five
dollars. As the spokesman handed me

When towards mock the patriots fate;

Who Sights his country thus,
But a true man, like you man,

We drink the memory of the brave,
The faithful and the few;
Some lie far off beyond the wave,
Some sleep in Ireland, too;
All, all are gone, but still lives on
The fame ofthose who died.
All true men like you men,
Remember them with pride
Some on the shores Of distant lands,
Their weary hearts have laid,
And by the strangers needless hands,
Their lonely graves were made.
But though their clay he far away,
Beyond the Atlantic foam
With true men Ike you men
Their spirits still at home.
The dust of some is Irish earth,
Among their own they rest,
And the same land that gave them birth
Has caught them to her breast,
And we shall pray that from their clay
Full many a race may start,
Oftrue men ike you men,
To act as brave a part.
They rose in dark and evil days,
To right their native land,
They kindled here a living blaze
That nothing shall Withstand.
Alas that might can vanquish right,
They fell and passed away;
But true men like you men,
Are plenty here to-day.
Then here's their memory, may it be,
For US a guiding light,
To cheer our strife for liberty,
And teach us to unite.
Through good and III, be Ireland's still,
Though sad is theirs your fate
And true men, be you men,

I. N. F, the Great Obevalier DIndustrio
Of our Day,
IFrom Blackwooa, S 1Lagazine.I

Twas struck the other day by an ac-
count Of an application made to the Lord
Mayor of London by a country clergy
man, to give, as a warning to Others, puVl
licity to a letter he had just received from
the East. The clergyman, it seems, had
advertised in the Times for pupils, and
gave for address a certain letter of the
Greek alphabet To this address there
came in due time an answer from a gen
tleman, dated Constantinople, stating that
he was an Anglo-Indian on his way to
England, to place his two sons in an ed
ucational establishment; but that having
by an excursion to Jerusalem, exhausted
his immediate resources, he was obliged
to defer the prosecution of his journey
till the arrival Of some funds he expected
from India-certain to arrive in a month
or two No wishing, however, to delay
the execution of his project, and being
satisfied with the promises held forth by
the advertiser, he purposed placing his
sons under his care, and to do so, desired
that forty pounds might be RENTED him
at once, to pay his journey to England, for
which convenience he, the writer, would
not alone be obliged, but also extend his
patronage to the lender, by recommend
ing him to his friend Sir Hugh Rose,
who was himself desirous Of sending his
sons to be educated in England. The
address of a banker was given to whom
the money should be remitted, and an
immediate reply requested, or "applica-
ton should be made IN some other quar-
ter.
Now the clergyman did not answer
this strange appeal, but he inserted ano-
ther advertisement, changing, however,
the symbol by which he was to be ad-
dressed, and appearing in this way to be
different person. To this new address
there came another letter, perfectly iden-
teal in style and matter; the only change
was, that the writer was now at the HO-
tel de Ia Refine d'Angleterre at Buda
but all the former pledges of future pro-
lection vera renewed; as well as the re-
quest for a prompt reply, or "applica-
ton would be made in another quar-
ter"
The clergyman very properly laid the
matter before the Lord Mayor, who with
equal prOpriety, stamped the attempt as
the device of a swindler, against which
publicity in the newspapers vas the best
preOautiOn. The strangest thing of all
however, was, that nobody appeared tc
know the offender; nor was there in the
Times, or in the other newspapers where
the circumstances were detailed, one sin,
gle surmise as to the identity of this in.
