TRUE TO THE END
CHATTER VII.

Franks passionate grief at the news of
the birth and death of his little girl, and
the serious illness of his wife, completely
broke him down. He came into the presence
of the magistrate before whom the preliml-
nary examination was to take place, pale,
haggard, and aged, as if ten years had
passed over his head.
Mr. John Dunno proved that he had given
the notes to the accused, with directions to
pay them into the bank of Messrs. -, to
the account of. Lord Fitzalien. He stated
the amount and numbers of the notes. The
accused told him next morning the notes
had been lost. He spoke we'll of the accused
as an inferior clerk in the house for some
years, but regretted that he had been
raised to such a confidential position. 1t
regard entertained for him by his nephew
and junior partner, Mr.. Richard Dunno;
thought all those kinds of advancement by
preference were mistakes, and was sorry
he had been party to 1T. Had observed
several acts of negligence on the accuseds
part, but when pressed by cross-examina-
ton, fully admitted there had been no
former suspicion of the, accused's honesty.
The second witness was Michael O'Brien,
master of the parish of St. Edmund's schools.
He stated that on Tuesday, November 9th,
Father O'Donnell, the parrish priest, called
on him and asked him to go to the bank
and change a bank-note for EGO, giving as
a reason that he was so much occupied he
could not go himself, and that he Wanted
the money. Witness accordingly presented
it at the bank, when it stopped, and
he had been given into custody, and was
not released till after a police officer had
gone to Father O'Donncll and heard the
truth of his statement confirmed. Had no
idea where Father O'Donnell had the note
from.
Father O'Donnell was next examined.
Had given the note, No, to the last
witness. Could not state 1rhont he had re-
ceiued it from. 1t was not from the accused.
The latter had nothing to do with it, and had
no knowledge of the transaction whatever.
1t was given to him as restitution money.
lie could say no more OH the subject.
A locksmith was next brought forward,
who stated that he had examined the table
and drawer in which the notes were said to
be locked up. That no injury had been
done to the lock, and it was impossible it
could have been opened by any violence:
The lOck-wa peculiar one, and it would
be most difficult to get key to open it.
To make a new key, it would be necessary
to take off the lock and keep it for come
days.
Mr.. John Dune was recalled, and stated
that no other key but that in the prisoners

NUMBER "a.

IDongh 1t brushes lis to the earth! Welcome
ssunering, even though it nails us hand and
o loot TO the Cross, because it brings us
closer to that Heart of Love, and makes us
sa it. None can enter into sorrow
save save those who ha~a sufferea /, SO ier Others
G Gseaa il.e smooth paths Of life, cheered by
God's 6aessing; but let those whose steps
have been set in .thorny road rejoice
those Tor whom poverty, and disapoint-
ment, and treachery have done their worst.
LOT they will have a sympathy such as far
ontwelghs the fair things which have fullen
to the lot Of others.
The morning came, and Father O'Donneli
SAID mass as usual. People thought he
looked very pale, but more than ever as if
he were an angel, lingering for brief time
longer on earth; aud when he preached
that day, and cathechised the children, and
went among the sick, there was no percep-
tloie change, except that he seemed more
full Of tender sympathy for others, more
forgetfui OF his own health and comfort.

Shine soft, We trembling tears of light,
That strew the morning skies,
T flushed in the silent dews of night
+ The harp of Erin lies.
! What though her thousand years have past
4 OfpOets, saints, and kings
Her echoes only hear the last
That swept those golden strings.
Fling DER his mound, We star-lit bowers,
The balmiest wreaths We wear,
Whose breath has lent your earth-born flowers
d Heavens own ambrOsial air.
Breathe bird of night thy softest tone,
By shadowy grove and rin
Thy song will sOOthe us while we own
That his was sweeter still.
Stay plying time thy foot for him,
Who gave thee sweeter wings,
Nor let thy envi0ns shadow dim
The light his glory filings.
If in his cheek unholy blood
Burned for one Outhful hour,
Twas but the flushing of the bud
That blooms a mi1k-white flower.
Take him. kind mother, to thy breast,
Who loved thy smiles SO well,
And spread thy mantle DER his rest
OF rose and asphOdel.
The bark has sailed the midnight sea,
The sea without Il shore.
That waved it's parting sigh to thee
ga health to thee, Tom Moore"
And thine long lingering on the strand,
Its frightened streamers furled,
Was tossed by age with trembling hand,
To seek silent world.
Not silent no, the radiant stars ---
Still lingering as they shine,
sUnheard through earth's imprisoned bars,
q Have voices sweet as thine.
Wake then, in happier realms above,
The songs of by-gone years,
Till angels learn these airs of love

Ia Calc,,,ation OF Chances.

Reader, it is easy to show, says
somebody, that five hundred years
ago the chances were ten thousand
70 one that you and l would mover
exist. If we look at the chances
as exhibited in only two or three
generations, we shall be astonished
and horrifed at seeing how narrow
ly we have missed having no being.
For instance, my grandfather was
q soldier in the Revolutionary army
for six years, and repeatedly ex-
posed to death. On one occasion,
when lis company were engaged
by platoons, he was the only survi-
vor Of two different attacks. Now,
il he had fallen in any of these at
tacks, he would not have married,
my father would not have been
born, and consequently, l myself
would have had no being. Again,
my father paid his addresses to q
certain young lady, and was enga-
ged to her. Just before the time
appointed for the marriage, a mis-
understanding arose between them,
I'll ties were dismissed, and my
father married another woman--
the same woman who has since
done me the honor Of being my
mother. Now if nay father mad
married the first mentioned lady, !
should never have been born, as
she could not have possibly borne
my mothers children and my moth
er might not have had any children
at all. You see, therefore, that a
mere lovers quarrel may change
the whole line of family for thou
sands of years. In fact, if Miss
Smith is courted by both Jones and
jenkins, it is for Miss Smith to de-
cile (as she certainly has the power
Of doing) whether she viii be the
ancestress of ten thousand Jones,
OF ten thousand Jenkinses for on
Ter choice depends the very exis-

MusICAL Cuu-Chli is a country Of
music makers. The love and instinct of
music are djhused through every order of
people, from the highest to tie lowest
1t is said that when Gottschalh was about
to give his great concert of three hundred
musicians he made a reqaisition upon the
civil and military bands of Valparaiso
ssnd Santiago. Upon their presenting
themselves before him he was amazed to
find that sn eighth part Of them could not
read or write, aEd rot fourth part knew
a Hste or character Of music How was
he ever 10 bring Tannhauser and the
Prophet, ana Filelia, from such ignof-
ance But what WAS his astonishment
and wonder vixen he found that almost
entire operas were familiar 10 them, and
that they were able to repeat with per-
feet accuracy intricate parts Of music by
bearing them played but once or twice
1t may be an incredible statement to
many fair young musician in our
country, but 1t is no less true, that what
is generally styled in the United States an
accomplished performer on the plane,
would not pass here for a mediocre one.
