out of the workhouse, and be enabled
to paint his great historical picture,

"As for my other nephew, Peter
Finch, he views all things in so saga
cious and selfish way, and is so certain
to get on in life, that Ishould only Insult
him by offering an aid which he does not
require; yet, from his affectionate uncle,
and entirely as testimony of admira-
ton for bis mental acuteness, I venture
to hope that he will accept q bequest of
$500 toward the completion of his ex-
tensive library of law books"
How Peter Finch stormed and called
names, how John Meade broke into a
delirium of JOY, how Mary Sutton cried
first and then laughed, and then laughed
and cried together /; all these matters

Sutton is now Mrs. John Meade, and
her husband has actually begun the

An Exciting Bear. Hunt.

The rare spectacle Of bear-hunt in
the streets of Philadelphia was recently
witnessed with no little trepidation and
excitement by several thousand people.
Henry Rudhardt, o tavern-keeper, pur-
chased 8 half-grown black bear and
doniciled it i'll his back yard, intending
it as an attraction to the saloon. Rud-
hardt imagined that he was an amateur
animaltamer, but developments proved
the contrary. Bruin Jared royalty, and
became 80 savage that the neighbors
were alarmed lest he should escape and
harm some person. Rudha1dt assured
them that there was no danger-he had
him tanned. The neighbors were paci-
fed, and everything was quiet until one
evening when Bruin slipped hiscollar,
climbed the fence, and took position on
shed in the Next yard. Instantly the
neighborhood was in an uproar. Mothers
grasped their little ones, rushed into
their houses, and doublebolted and
looked doors and windows. Street
gamins scampered home, and even grown
men accelerated their speed ID direc-
ton opposite to where the fear was.
Meanwhile Brrlin was contentedly hold
ing tae fort, having stretched himself
out for nap. The police were called
out amid great uproar, and, urged by
the shouts of the gathering crowd, adj
vanced upon the enemy. A Sergeant
fred seven shots without effect Bruin
slept on placidly, as if unaware of the
attempt at his life. The nervousness of
the Sergeant had spoiled bis aim, al
though he was within five feet of the
bear. You can't shoot Let me try"
said Officer Dean. His revolver, a
seven-shooter, was emptied, the two last
shots taking effect. Bruin got up,
growled, and shook his shaggy coat,
while Dean clambered upon the fence,
ready to drop in the alley and run. The
wounds only angered the BEAR who
began promenade on the roof of the
shed. One officer after another then adj
vanced in rapid succession and emptied
their reyolvers, and others would have
fired had not the bear growled and made
them run. The police were advised to
get mortar or cannon and send for
the Sixth Regiment, the heroes of the
Pittsburgh round-house. A volunteer
then let off his double barreIed shotgun.

compass became general. Just as the

Bitter Feelings Engendered by thu
Irish Famine.

Among the most baleful and long-lived
of the results of :" the great famine" are
the bitter feelings which it engendered
between the Irish and the English. The
former, their brains yet afre with the
memory of the unspeakable horrors, con-
slider the hardness and insuf6ciency of
English aid crime, and call the famine
slaughter" while the latter, mindful
of the torture of sympathy which their
own generous hearts endured, and of the
splendid contributions they freely sent
forth, are maddened by the fierce ingrat-
itude of the sufferers. It is q sore that
may never be healed; but Mr.. Sullivan's
efforts to explain the sad misunderstand-
ings are Of great value, coming from one
of the victims, who feels with an Irish
heart, and who is yet keen-sighted, lib
eral and patriotic. He feels that the
noble generosity Of the English people
has been forgotten in q frenzy Of re-
proach against the English Government
of that day. When the warning voices
were raised, when, even, the storm had
burst, the Government refused to move
beyond the speed and limits of ordinary
constitutional methods. Red tape killed
its thousands in Ireland as certainly as if
it had been bowstring about their necks.
While the smitten fields were strewed
with rotting corpses, thenobles and states
men in England were fatty denying, in
public speeches, that there was any fam
inc in Ireland. The British naval au-
thorities even refused the loan of ship to
transport across the channel the generous
contributions of the people, because it
was contrary to all regulations while,
Immediately upon this fatal strictness,
the American war vessels Macedonia and
jamestown arrived, bringing salvation
from the far-off shores. Who can won
der that the Irish fail to make needful
allowance, and feel their blood mad
dened at the memory of that dreadful
time? The Governments fatal tardi-
ness, and its still more exasperating
plumbers; the glorious generosity OF the
English people; the strange sentimental
obstacles raised in England the embit-
tered hinderances in Ireland-are they
not known to all readers lie not, they
are given clearly, almost dispassionately,
in the pages of "New Ireland" The
results, at least, are written all over the
face of the unfortunate isle. The old
simplicity of life and manners is for
ever gone the robberies and depreda-
tions which starving, maddened Great
ures were driven to commit have ban
ished the times when no door was ever
padlocked, and every passing stranger
was welcomed for the night. The noble
temperance movement, too, was checked
and nearly destroyed; the poor peas
ants, denied food, turned to the bottle,
and the vile appetite once more regained
it's throne. But far deeper scars than
these remained upon Ireland we shall
see them again and again, fecking with
their CHASTITY rents all her recent histo-
ry.-Appletons' Journal for April.

Like the Gold Ground.

Like the gold ground of Fra Angelica,
Not bright but clear and pure, whereon go flying
The music-naking angels to and fro,
More fair for all the glory underlying;
Whereon all shapes of heaven and earth but seem
To float and float, not real, save as they cover
But for time the eyer-during CLEAN,
As clouds between us and the sunlight hover;
So shines thy love within the silent room
OF my still heart SO shines my love for thee,
Making golden light within the gloom
OF all the time and space between that be.
While ali things else thereon like shadows pass and
glide,
Drawing therefrom alone their beauty their pride.

Easter Eggs.

Dear Grandpa Lee, with little Grace,
Followed the pathway to the mill;
Bright daisies starred the shady lane,
And now and then bird would trill.
Once, when birding spread it's wings,
She said, "All things are fair and gay
The sky 80 blue where birdie singsW
Said grandpa, "This is Easter day."
Thus happily they onward went,
Till Grace cried, There is little Kate,
And Frank and Nellie, too-and oh!
Nell's swinging on the garden gatew
AS Grace and grandpa came in sight,
The little ones to meet them sped
Their eager, prattling lips apart,
Eyes flashing bright and cheeks rose-red.
=" Oh, grandpa in the hedge we've found
Four Easter eggs, all colored blue;
They're in the sweetest little nest;
We want to show our prize to you'll"
Said grandpa, "Touch them not, my dears
Those eggs God dyed with colors rare;
The mother-bird will soon come back,
And guard her nest with loving care.
"These Easter eggs, in leaf-hid nests,
Ilnprison countless song-birds bright,
That soon will break the tinted shell
And rise and sing in Joyous flight"

Ia ster Lilies.

Darlings of June and brides of summer sun,
Chill pipes the stormy wind, the skies are drear
Dull and despo1led the gardens every one;
What do you here?
We looked to see your gracious blooms arise
Mid soft and wooing airs in gardens green,
Where venturesome brown bees and butterflies
Should hail you queen.
Here is no bee glancing butterfly;
They fled on rapid wings before the sHow;
Your sister lilies laid them down to die,
Long, long ago.
And here amid the slowly dropping rain
We keep our Easter feast, with hearts whose care
Mars the high cadence of each lofty strain,
Each thankful prayer.
But not a shadow dims your ioyance sweet,
No baf1ed hope or memory darkly clad
YOu lay your Wilderness at the Lords dear feet,
And are all glad.
On coward soul, arouse thee and draw near,
Led by these fragrant acolytes to-day!
Let their sweet confidence rebuke thy fear
Thy cold delay
Come with thy darkness to the healing light
Come with thy bitter, which shall be made sweet
And lay thy soil beside the lilies white,
At His dear feet!

Saint Violet-An April Caprice.


You little love of April skies,
Small violet upon the hill,
Lift up to mine your teCder eyes
doubt them once, when saints were rare,
some poet saw you shy and fair,
And sa1nted you and since the earth
Has always poets for each spring,
Whose blessed hirthright is to sing,
Your sainthood finds its witness still
come not that the years new birth
May wake its parallel in me;
Nor do pray that, as free
These dewy grass-blades from your face,
Their homely drops of Helicon
Anoint me to spring minstrelsy;
This living sod 1 kneel upon,
That we may hold, as Of one race,
A human-hearted talk to-day.
Saint Violet what would you say
Ii some keen-yisioned star should slnite
You in the hushed and dreaming night
With sad -knowledge-bid you probe
Your simple sef--arraign your DAYS
With failure, and should so disrobe
You, shrinking, of your poets praise?
Speak, Violet would you choose to be
Ihls soul that from itself would flee?
Your blameless peace but once to know
AL mortal chance could forego.
Think fast within your purple hood:
The pain of loving you will learn
Ihe pa1n-ah me! how can turn
13Som the dear habit--that great good
and sometimes, to your human eyes
dhIs changeful sky, that bathes and dries
n oum npturned face, will surely seem
The Mestment of Soul supreme:
Ihe vestment, thinning to the sight,
OF an unborrowed parent-hght.
