TIE IRISHMAN,

A correspondent of the New Castle pa
Gazette, whom we recognize by the initials
sd. X. j." to be prominent Presbyterian
divine, formerly resident of Holidays
burg, contributes somewhat imperfectly
from memory the first two verses of the
following poem, which he precedes with the
remark that ''nearly half a century ago,
when | was 4 boy, there appeared in the
newspapers few stanZas of poem, the
authorship of which was, at the time, as
cribed to George Washington, the father
of our Republic, and it was said to have
been the only metrical composition he ever
produced. Some of the verses linger in my
memory, although / have not seen copy
of them for certainly fOrty-seyen years,
and l may not be able to give them with
proper accuracy. | wish you would print
what | can remember, and send them round
in the hope that some HterateUr, who can
throw light upon the question Of their ori-
gin, may see them and give us information"
Two additional verses, also imperfect, have
been furnished US by a Celtic friend now
on a visit to this place, who remembers to
time and oft in his boyhood days, some
thirty odd years ago, and although he is not
familiar with the name of the author, is en-
tirely confident that the poem was written
IL Ireland, and therefore could not have
been the production of the great and good
Washington. That the Father of his
Country" was not the author Of the bal
lad is still further confirmed, if not made
absolutely certain, by the assurance of our
well booked Lhe is in the book business)
friend, 'tErionach," =" who not only furnish
es us with the entire sonnet, as given be-
low, but declares positively that Washing
ton did not write it. Who did remains
yet sealed book to us, but q Erionach "
promises to cliff the veil and remove the
pressure as soon as time is afforded him
for the necessary research. IL the interim
we give the ballad in full as folloWs. ED.

4 HUMOROUs ELOPEMENT.

"I'll tell you what it is, wife" said
Peter Smith, and he emphasized the
remark by wise shake Of the fore
finger, things have got into a very
bad way. The farm is mOrtgaged to
the very last cent it is worth, and L
owe a heap of money besides-more
by long shot than know how to pay.
What is to be done ~
Il am sure / don't know, Peter"
replied the bothered wife, but it seems
too awful bad to be turned out of house
and home at our time of life. Now, If
our son John would only marry Jonas
Browns daughter Sally, it would help
us out amazingly. The Browns, you
see, are well of, and the connection
would be perfect gold mine to US.
OF course they'd give Sally the hun
dred acres of land and things that
THEY'VE always said they would"
That's a good idea, wife, said Pc
ter, frightening up amazingly, you
always were a cute woman, and the
notion does you credit. But do you
think the young folks would take to
it ?"
II don't know, but it seems to me
that they've always taken great no
ton to each other ever since they we've
children-been more like brother and
sister than anything else"
But suppose the Browns should
object, as most likely they would
You know we amt on good terms,
thick as the young folks have been"
"I'l tell you what, Peter, Is just the
thing for us to do-put Peter up TO
elope with Sally"
agreed! I'll leave it all to you to
manage"
Thus the matter was settled, and
the scheming couple went to bed to
dream of speedy release from their
financial embarrassment,
Condolences are sometimes of the
most curious character-almost sur
passing beliefn some instances, About

EBENSBURG, PA, FRIDAY, JULY Is. 1878.
AUNT HANN4H,S 1DVFCE.

And so you have quarreEed with David?
And hide it as well as you can,
1 know at this moment you're thinking
That he is a horrible man.
He has no regard for your feelings,
He loosens his hold on your heart,
And each has confessed 10 the other
That both were much better apart
You think of the days of your courtship.
When David was thoughtful and kind
In all your VeNaTions so helpful
To all your follies so blind
And now DER the gateway of Eden
The sword of the angel is crossed,
And you miss all the sweetness and SUN
shine,
The Joy of a Paradise lost.
You think you have done alt your duty,
Have prayed and haze 1abored in vain,
And feel, as husband, that David
Has really no right to complain.
But let us sit dawn in the twilight
And talk Ger the subject awhile,
Before you take leave of the meadow
1t is well that you pause on the stiIe.
'Tis likely shat David is fretful,
And careless at times, it is true;
His business absorbs him too closely,
But is he not working for you?
So when he comes home in the evening,
Quite silent, and thoughtful, and queer,
just let your heart keep up its singing,
And pretend you don't notice, my dear.
For just as a scratch on the finger
Will heal if you let &c alone,
So many a trouble and grievance
That David and you may have known
Would soon have been gone and forgotten,
And left not a scar on the heart,
Had either been fond and forgiving,
Had you never supposed you could part.
'Tis your dnty to yield, and you know it;
You will if you're true to your trust;
4Our God and your honor demand it,
And David is gentle and just.
Don't keep any bones of contention
Don't hold TO this terrible strife
But make him q much better husband
BY being much better wife.

STASZAS.

The savage loves his native shore,
Tho rude the coil and chill the air,
Then well may Erin's sons adore
An isle which nature formed so fair.
Y hat food reflects a shore so sweet
As shannon broad or pastoral Baun?
And who a friend or foe meet
More generous than an FRESHMAN?
Tho his hand is rash, his heart is warm,
And principle is still his guide;
None more regrets deed of harm,
And none forgives with nobler pride
He may be dUped but won't be dared
More apt to practise than to plan
He Obly earns his poor reward,
And spends it like an lRISHMAN,
If you are poor, he'll for yoH pay.
And guide you where you safe may bs:
If your his Comrade, whilst You stay
His cottage holds a jubilee.
His inmost sOul he Will unlock,
And if he may your secrets sean,
YoHr confidence he scOrnS to mock,
For faithful is an IRIsHMAN
BY honor bound in woe or veal
Whate'r she bids he dares to do;
Try him with gold, it won't prevail,
But e'en in fire you'll find him true
He seeks not safety-let his post
BE in the front of dangers van,
And If the field of fame be lost,
Twill not be by an IRISHMANi
Erin, loved land, from age to age
BE thou more great more famed and free
May peace be yours and, should you wage
Defensive wars, grand victory
May plenty flow in every field,
Aud gentle bFeezes softly fan
May cheerful smiles serenely guild
The brow of every FRESHMAN

Smikes made up his mind to stop
chewing. He never was much of a
chewer, anyhow, he said. He hadn t
used tobacco but few years, and
rarely consumed more thar an ouace
paper in n day. But he feared the
habit might get hold of him and be
come fixed, and if there was anything
that he abhorred it was To see a man
become a slave to a bad habit. He
had used the weed some, to be sure,
but there had never been tifle during
the last ten years when he could not

Romance of Gn american queen.

In 1873, the settlement of Georgia
was commenced by number Of Eng
lish people, who were brought over by
Gen Oglethorpe, and pitched their
tents on the very spot now occupied
by the city of Savannah.
In his intercourse with the Indians,
he was greatly assisted by al Indian
woman, whom he found in Sfayannah,
10y the name of Mary Musgrove She
had resided among the Indians, in an
other part of the country, and was well
acquainted with their language. She
was of great use, therefore, to General
OglethOrpe in Interpreting what he said
to the Indians and what they said to
him. For this service he gave her
hundred pounds year.
Among those who came over with
Gen. Oglethorpe was man by the
name of Thomas Bosomworth, who
was the chaplain or minister Of the
colony. Soon after his arrival he mar
ried the above mentioned Indian WO-
man, Mary Musgrove. Unhapphy,
Bosomworth was at heart bad man,
although by profession he was min
lister of the gospel He was distin-
guished for his pride and love of riches
and influence At the same time he
was very artful Yet, on account Of
his profession. he was for a time mncb
respected by the Indians.
At one of the great councils of the
Indians, this artful man induced some
cf the chiefs to crown Malatche, one
of the greatest among them, to declare
him Prince and Emperor of all the
Creeks. After this he made his wife
call herself the eldest sister Of Ma
latche, and she told the Indians that
one Of her grandfathers had been made
king by the Great Spirit oyer all the
Greeks The Indians believed what
Mary told them, for since Gen, Ogle
thorpe had been so kind to her, they
had become very proud Of her. They
called great meeting of the chiefs to-
gether, and Mary made them a long
talk She told them that they had
been injured by the vhites-that they
were getting away the lands Of the IN
dians, and would soon drive them from
their possessions. Said she; ''We
must assert our rights-We must arm
ourselves against thcm-we must drive
them from our territories Let us call
forth our warriors-I will head them.
Stand by me, and the houses which
they have erected shall smoke in ruins" "
The spirit of Queen Mary was con
tagious. Every chief present declared
himself ready to defend her to the last
drop Of his blood
After due preparation, the warriors
were called forth They had painted
themselves afresh, and sharpened anew
their tomahaYks for the battle. The
march was now commenced. Queen
Mary, attended by her infamous hus-
band the real author of all their dis
content, headed the savage throng.
Before they reached Savannah their
approach was announced. The people
were Justly alarmed They We're few
in number, and though they had for
tiication and cannon, they had no good
reason to hope that they should be
able to ward off the deadly blow which
was aimed against them
By this time the savages were with
in sight of Savannah. At this critical
moment an Englishman, by the name
of Noble Jones, bold and daring
