RURAL FELICITY IN IRELAND
Sometimes in reading about Ire
land we are inclined to be sur
prised not so much that there are
absentees as that there are presen-
tees. The Illustrated London
News has sent special correspon-
dent to Ireland to explain to it's
readers, both by writing and draw
ing, how gentlemen live in disat-
fected districts. He has paid a
visit to the residence Of Mr.. Mich
olson, in Meath, whose coachman
was lately murdered in mistake
for his master. Mr.. Nicholson
when he walks out has a rife in
his hand at full cock, a policeman
walks on either side Of him and
two more bring up the rear, all
armed. There is a detachment Of
constabulary in the house. An
engraving depicts Mr.. Nicholson
taking an airing under these ex-
hilarating circumstances. When
he drives out, an indulgence upon
which he rarely ventures, car
with four policemen follows that
which conveys him, and they car
ry a ladder to enable them easily
to pursue any. assassin who may
be disposed to take a pop at the
gentlemen from behind wall,
which it might not be easy other
wise to scale. This sort of life
continued for months would prove
rather trying to most mems con-
stitutions, we fancy.

CHAPTER III.-THE NEW CURATE.
The clergyman smiled at the re-
tort, and quoted text from Holy
Scripture.

said Mrs. Goodchild, "although my
dear Henry is not always so regu-
lar as he might be. Have you
heard what he did only last Sun
day, Mr.. Pearton ?"
mo, to tell the truth, I've not, "
replied the minister with a smile.
"Well, then, I will tell you,"
said Mrs. Goodchild, her eyes ab-
solutely sparkling with fun and
merriment. "He actually walked
behind them as if he were their
schoolmastcr! Oh, he is such a
rogue!"
The clergyman laughed heartily
at the anecdote, and after wishing
the amusing rattle good day, pro-
ceeded to his Bible class.
Little Hazeldean was q charm
ing village. There were tiny bees
humming in the gardens near wee
wee cottages, and each of these
wee wee cottages had a dainty
little cupboard-such a tiny, love
ly, charming little cupboard, COW
cred with pure white paint, and
guarded by a beautiful new lock.
Let US enter, one Of these little
cupboards and see whatit contains.
First, we have a set Of tea-things,
with a pretty little design upon
each article, executed in white and
blue. The design is almost pic
ture. Look over yonder at the
bridge, with its procession of Chi
nese and the pagoda, and the two
sweet littlo birds in the corner
kissing one another as little birds
should. The design is known in
England as the "willow pattern"
and is almost too exquisitely beau
tiful for description. Then we
have large, round pots containing
'jam," a sort Of preserved fruit,
and some blacklead in cakes, and
yellow "soap" (used with water
on Sundays for washing purposes)
in pounds, and a fine, large, hand
some Bible. But, there-I am
forgetting the clergyman all this
while.
When he arrived in the school
room be called a curly-headed lad
up to him and questioned him upon
the creation Of the world, &c. He
was answered we'll in every case.

Lionel smoked scented cigar
cite in the morning room of the
Guards Club as if nothing in par
ticular had happened. He just
smiled as the cortege passed the
bow window. What cared he, the
descendant Of a score Of carls for
the carrion flesh Of coalheaver ?
He had smashed the fellows face

the brute's skull was not thick

Yes, when Hannibal called his Ro-

How to Make New SWarms Of

About the middle of a warm
pleasant day at any time after
drones appear, blow a little smoke
into the entrance of a hive. to- alarm

and then remove it a rod or two
from the stand, turn 1t, Upside
down, and put over it an empty
hive Of the same size;- close sir
holes between the two by filing
them with leaves, grass or paper,
so that no bees can escape; then
take two light sticks and drum
with them on the lower hive,
without cessation, for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The bees, alarm
ed at the noise, and confused by
the change Of place and confine-
mont, 60 rapidly up into the upper
hive, where they will be found
hanging1ike a swarm, the queen
almost Invariably with them.
The swarm in the upper hive
may now be taken and carefully
carried to the place where the
old hive stood, and the bees
will go to work in it, and prosper
precisely as we'll as any natural
swarm. The hive from which
they have boon driven must be
placed few yards away from the
old location, or too many Of the
bees will 60 to it. It will seem to
be almost depopulated, but in
reality contains enough old bees,
and many young ones Matching

but the bees will rear another
from tho eggs left by her.
If the season is good one, tho
old colony will be almest sure tor

weeks after this has been done,
and you will thus haveyo three

you will not want TO do more than

A REMARKABLE SToRY.-Some
days since, there was O. colored
man in this city with scar en-
tirely around his neck. 1t is
stated that during the closing
days Of the late war he was tried
by a drumhead court-martial, found
guilty, sentenced to death, duly
hung, and pronounced dead, by two
surgeons in attendance one Of
whom secured the body. He then
restored the hanged man to life.
Although he was 10 all appear
ances dead, yet the vital spark was
not quite extinct. The hanged
man hid himself funtil the war was
over, and then settled on a farm
within thirteen miles Of the city,
where be is now at work. The
scar alluded to is but the marks Of
the rope by which he was suspend
ed. The execution, it is alleged,
took place in Kershaw County.
It is also stated that the surgeon
who restored the man to life is
now a resident Of this city.

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF RED
MEN.-A friend Of ours, says an
exchange, who took a trip to CAL
ifornia, said that he was not afraid
Of the Indians, because ne be-
longcd to the Benevolent Order
of Red Men, and knew all the
passwords and winks, and the fig
urative language and things, and
no savage was going to touch him,
initiated and fixed up in regalia as
he was. He hadn't gone more
than hundred miles from Omaha
before a band of Indians came at
him and acooped him up. lie
took the chief aside and whispered
tpe password in his ear and gave
him the grip twcnty-six times on
both hands, and made some obser-
vations about "ffth moons" and
"happy hunting grounds" The
chief replied in a fraternal manner
by tomahawking him and jobbing
his butcher knife into his vitals.
Our friend remarked that these
ceremonies were not observed in
his lodge; but the chief wanted to
show him all the pecularitics of
the Western system, so be scalped
him and chopped off his nose, and
was about to build a bonfire on
his stomach, when some soldiers
arrived and rescued him. lie is
now the bald-headedest Red Man
this side of the Pacific ocean, and
you never saw person so DISCUS
ted with secret societies and In
dian poetry. He is going to sue
his lodge for passing a counterfeit
grip on him, and for damage done
by loss of his hair.

A REMARKABLE WESTERN CHAR

A REMARKABLE WESTERN CHAR
AcrER.-The Elko Independent thus
refers to q noted female celebrity
in that vicinity
The town of Carlin is the home
of Susie Raper, the famous Lady
Gay Spanker and female buccan-
eer of the sagebrush. Every now
and then then the citizens Of that
place are treated to a little fun by
the fair damscl. Susie has no su-
pcrior in boldness, dash and in
trigue, if any equals. No yellow
covered book ever pictured her
equal, if. all accounts are true.
Susie is as gay and festive as any
female troubadour who ever trod
the mountains under the blue sky
Of Italy. Possessing natural
and graceful appearance, a keen
eye, quick intellect, tongue that
swings on pivot, she can make
up to represent any character,
and has ability enough 10 execute
any deep laid scheme. Mazzepa,
chief of a gang Of land pirates, she
boasts Of her power to command,
at moments warning, their as
sistanco to execute her wishes,
however unlawful or diabolical
they may be.
The experience of the dungeon
taught her no lesson, as it was
hoped it would have done by her
lovers. On Friday last valuable
race horse of hers, named Hum.
boldt, was attached by Constable
Brophy to satisfy a butchers bill
at Mineral Hill, aud brought to
.Carlin without her knowledge.
On learning the fact she went to
the stable where the horse was
kept, and coaxed the groomsman
to allow ner to lead him into the
yard to see if the animal would
recognize her. No sooner was
she out than she spraug astride
Humboldt and starting for anoth-
er stable, claiming possession, and
threatening the officers with de-
struction if they attempted to re-
take her horse. She was finally
captured, after 3 liberal exhibition
Of her well-moulded extremities
to the greedy street-gazers, in her
Menkin ride through the town.
The horse was placed in a secure
position, and Susie left with curses
on her lips.

Nye's Hat.

THE M'Doodle Club" in the
Old Guard for June has another
saw on Senator Nyc, but this time
Horace Greeley is one Of the suf-
ferers. It says:
The sage Of Chappaqua was at
Washington last week, and
was invited to grand pow-wow
Of the select faithful at Downing's
where there was to be a grand
supper, and all that Nye, being
Senator, and generally . big In
dian, was, of course, one Of the
guests, and by way of keepius :
down his impatience, had imbibed
sundry and divers mixtures of
water and things during the after
noon, so that when he came to join
the brethren at tthe hourappointed,
all his native good nature and
kindness Of heart were intensified,
and he felt like giving every poor
woman in Washington a barrel Of
-four, and thought Of moving a
joint resolution to remove the
Capitol to Bourbon County, Ken
lucky. Jim had invested an x du-
ring the day in the purchase Of a
new hat. 1t was a wonderful tile.
1t has been purchased under the
advice of Tom Florence, who is a
judge Of hats, and was, for sym
metry of proportions, blackness of
hue, and fncness of material, an
artistic triumph. With the ut
most care Nye removed that su-
perb castor from bis classical head.
Where should he put it? On a
peg Of the hat-rack ? No, Guests
at supper parties make mistakes,
and going out with certain Quan-
tity of liquor in, are apt to pick
the best Of the head-geat; so that
a shocking bad hat is a calamity
additional to the woes assigned by
Solomon to those "who tarry long
at the wine" So be took his pre-
cious possession into the dining
room with him, and carefully de-
posted it on a corner of q sofa.
At that moment Horace entered,
with that elegant gait of his, that
hitch and toss and egg-treading
movement, q cross between the
fnicky step Of q corsetted dandy
and the roll of a sailor just off
six years cruise; and before Nye
could say Jack Robinson-which
nobody ever tries to say, or "Take
care" which be ought to have
said--the business was done. Down
Topped Greeley in that very cor.
ner, and on that Identical stove
pipe hat, crushing it as fat as a
buckwheat cake, and quite as un-
conscious IS though he had only
sat down On a basket Of eggs, or
his wifo's most precious band-box.
Nye's hat, minus Nye, was beauti-
full to look at, as we'll as worth
cash money! symmetrical struc-
ture, a poem in plush, an erection
Of intellectual design and consum-
mate execution but Nye's hat
plus Greeley, was wreck, a ruin,
a desolation, not worth q continen-
tal-blessing. The hat was plush,
and Nye was non-plushed. The
Nye way was to swear on such an
occasion !; but Nye is Christian,
meek and lowly, and instead of a
highway took a by-way. He
stcadied himself as we'll as he
could under the burthen of an
affliction so great, and snifters so
many, and gazing on the delapida-
ted tile, "more in sorrow than in
anger" thus gave vent to the
emotions of the moment: "H-h-or-
ace i You've s-s-s-quelched my'at
as fiat as aff.f-lapjack. F I'd
know-o-o-known ! you'd try to
s.s-s-tick your cussed br-r-r-ains!
into my at, Id bought one as
big as wash-tub for your spcshp
com'dation!"

his hands and his clothes told
US so. The week went and he
came. Not late, as if he hated to
come home, but early, as if his
heart was there. Little Bobby
was proud Of him. He knew his
papa would come. And with a
warm, earnest kiss. Little Bobby
was happy. The father was hap
py, or his looks licd-and they did
not.
* x x x
Now, we have been thinking till
the hands on the watch-facc before
US point to midnight. What q
good world this would be if every
home had a gate where swung
and waited q little one, M0wlng
that now papa would come with a
kiss, q smile, and q good heart.
If at every home, by a window,
were seated some loving woman
and loving wife, waiting, not dread
ing the approach Of her husband,
knowing he would be there on
time, quick, firm in his step, prompt
in his manhood, and sober, like
one who is monarch Of himself,
and therefore over all. And all
men might be so-can be so if
they will. And then what q glo-
rious world in which to live!
And we have been thinking, and
must write it before we quit work,
of the thousands of little Toys and
girls who might swing for hours
and hours on gates, Of the women
who may watch at windows for
hours, wondering when will come
-hov wlU come-the one who is at
heart real good: but who lacks the
nerve to be the man he ought to
be, can be, should be, and would
be, if he would only pause othink,
and see if there was not a better
way to happiness than he was in.
And we have been thinking Of the
poor widows whose husbands can
never more to them come, no mat
ter how long they watch at win
dows-of tho men whose wives
are gone, never more to return
Of the orphans who have no one
to come home now and catch them
to their arms and love them. And
we have been wondering if any
man who reads this will be brave
enough to 50 to his home a little
earlier each night, and try to be a
real good, earnest man, who will
be proud Of himself and Of his
manhood of whom his home ones
will be so proud as he is so de-
serving. We know some will, apd
some will think they will, but when
comes the hour, they will forget
as we all do; and instead of making
glad the hearts Of those who would
be so glad to have them come
home, perhaps not with presents,
but like men, sober, kind, loving;
will wait just a little longer, till
thus their life becomes a failure.
God bless all who love their
"loved ones," aud who do not keep
them waiting, and all those who
suffer at heart from the absence Of
those they dearly love, and for
whom they wait and watch, and
watch and wait hours upon, hours:
till all Of joy, of hope, of heart: of
life, Of love, has gone, as has this
Saturday Night.
