Removal OF "The West"

SIGHTS IN IRELAND.
Pitohforks and Hot Water That
Kept Armed Men at Bay.

A Dublin correspondent of The
Now York Times writes: The latest
sensational drama in real life was pre-
sented this week in a picturesque dis
trict called Shanbough, near New
Ross, in the county of Wexford. At
early noon a strong force of cavalry,
infantry, and police moved along the
high-road, evidently on serious bust
ness bent. In the real of the little
army these followed a number of
bailifis and "general-utility men,, car
rying crow.bars, pickaxes, sledge-
hammers, ladders, and other ''proper-
ties" They were en- route to the
residence of a widow woman named
Holden, who was a tenant ON the
property of Mr.. Boyo, whose son was
shot dead n Sunday afternoon some
time ago, while driving along the road
with his father, who at the time
escaped with his life ms if by a mir
acle. The Widow Holden vas under
eviction. She, through her family,
held possession of the farmhouse,
and the large civil and military force
was proceeding to aid the sheriff in
the execution of the laws decree by
force of arms, if necessary. When
the widows house was reached, it was
seen that "No surrender" was the
order of the day, and that there was
tough work to be done.
The scene is we'll "set" on n stage
acres in extent; infantry soldiers and
police in a semi-circle in front of the
widows cottage; a fringe of cavalry
in their rear, and a background of
excited peasantry-men, women and
children. In front Of the troops are
the property men" and the officers
in command of the expedition. There
are heard the rafting of muskets, as
the soldiers bring their arms to the
rest; the clanking of sabres, the
champing Of the bride bits, the light
laughter of the troops and the angry
talk of the peasantry in their native
tongue. Enter now the sheriff with
the original writ of ejectment in his
hand. The door of the cottage is shut

written down the crime of murder a.
gainst their souls in letters as durable as
eternity.
AS for David Swan he slept quietly,
neither conscious ofthe shadow of death
when it hung over him, nor of the glow
of renewed life when that shadow was
withdrawn.
He slept, but no longer quietly as at
first. An hours repose had snatched
from his elastic frame the WEAKNESS
with which many hours of toll had bur-
dened it. Now he stirred, now moved
his lips without sound, now talked in
an inward tone to the MONDAY spectress
of his dream. But noise of wheels
came rattling louder and louder along
the road, until it dashed through the
dispensing mist of David's slumber, and
there was the stage-coach. He started
up with all his ideas about him.
"Hello, driver! Take a passenger? ?"
shouted he.
Up mounted David, and bowled away
merrily toward Boston, without so much
as a parting glance at that fountain of
dream-like vicissitudes. He knew not
that phantom of wealth had thrown
golden hue upon its waters, nor that one
of love had sighed softly to their muir
mur, nor that one of death had threat
ened to crimson him with his blood all
in the brief hour since he lay down to
sleep.
Sleeping or waking, we hear not the
airy footsteps of the strange things that
almost happen.

A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.-Upon this
subject, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
recently said
'In making change from high
protective tariff to tariff for revenue,
consideration must be had for the great
interests which have been built up upon
the laws as they now are. And all
changes must be gauged by the wants of
the labOring classes, and it is my settled
conviction that system of free trade,
as soon as it had begun to produce a
legitimate result, would give more em-
ployment to more men than any system
of high tariff that could be devised. 1t
is true that under the system now OBJ.
tanning certain classes of labor have bet
ter employment, but it is only at the ex-
pense of the many other kinds of labor.
Moreover I object to high tariff upon
moral grounds: 1t is d premium on ly-
ing and deceit. 1t is an open bid for
smuggling in every port along sea-
board three thousand miles in extent
1t extends an invitation to the strong to
take care of themselves at the expense of
the weak. 1t brings temptation upon
all Government officials. 1t begets bri-
berry and corruption. 1t decreases the
sum of material prosperity, and corrupts
the Government in order to do it. We
shall not bring ourselves up to high
point until We have freedom all around
free speech, free thought, free consci-
ence, and free commerce. Until then
we shall not know the volume and value
of liberty"

Can any one tell how young men who
are always behind with their landlord
CAN play billiards, night and day, and
al ways be ready for a game of cards

Can any one tell how men live and

Can any one tell why four-ifths of the
young ladies prefer brainless fop, un-
der plug hat, to man with brains?
Can any one tell why it is that some
mothers are always ready to sew for the

raveling show that comes into town?

WHAT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.-The fol-
lowing story is told by a gentleman who
is intimate with President Hayes and
President elect Garfield, and whose per-
sonal truthfulness is vouched for by the
Cleveland (O.) Herald:
''In the little village of Bedford, only
twelve miles distant from Cleveland,
there lived. some thirty years ago, two
charming and attractive girls. To one
of these President Hayes had become an
ardent suitor, but the parents of the
young lady had vigorously opposed their
cOurtship, on the ground that young
Hayes was poor, and gave evidence of
hardly sufficient ability to warrant risk
ilg their daughters future. The match
w.s broken off, and the lady is to day
maTied, and well known to Cleveland
peo2le. The other young lady had re
cely,d some attentions from young GAR
field,and was well disposed to recipro
cate teem. Her parents, however, OBJ
jectedto their intimacy, giving as the
reason( (or their opposition, the poverty
of Garftld, and the anything but bright
prospect of his future. The most re-
markablt coincidence of the courtships
were, tina, both young ladies lived in a
village OF AOt more than five hundred
inhabitants and both refused two future
Presidents q the United States on ac-
count OF thex poverty"

A FOOLISH SUPERsTITION.-Am
the stupid popular ideas prevailing at
the present time with regard to mad
dog, is the belief that persons who may
have been bitten by the animal long
time previously, and when it was heal
thy, are in danger of developing hydro
phobia upon its subsequent appearance
in the dog. This notion would seem
almost too ridiculous to mention, were
it not so common, that dog who bites
person maliciously is almost invaria-
bly, killed with the sole intention of rem
deting the human being secure from hy-
drophobia. A little reflection should
convince those who entertain the fool
ish superstition, that by killing the ami
NAL they are depriving themselves of
the only means of certainty as to its ac-
tuhl condition; for. if in the first vague
stages of rabies, it must exhibet pro-
nounced symptoms within very few
days, whereas. if5it remains healthy, by
no possibility can the person bitten suf-
fer other consequences than those ensu-

THE OLD YEAR,

One year-a short and happy year.
OF buoyant hopes and fears;
One year-a long and weary year,
OF sorrow and of tears.
One year hath quickly flown to all,
Who on the earth abide;
1t stole away as silently,
As steals the flowing tide.
One year to youth-whose step is free.
Whose life summer dream,
With ripples just to music make.
AS flows the silver stream
One year ago-whose years fast wane,
Whose race is nearly run
Watching the bright sands pass through
This hOur-glass, one by one.
One to the mourner oer the graves,
Whose dear friends long have lain
Whose tears have fallen on the flowers,
AS falls the Summer rain.
One year hath quenched the shining light.
OF many dark bright eyes;
And many light feet wander now,
Meath more unclouded skies.
One year the world hath colder grown,
And loved ones seemed estranged,
But in the heart simple shrine,
Affection hath not changed.
One year hath blighted many hopes
Immortal in their birth,
And souls that scared on eagle wings
Are dropping now on earth.
One year hath gone-a deeper tone
Is blent with music low;
h; o'o
That thrills me even now.
The past-hOw many thrilling joys
Have to its regions gone,
That like the tones swept from the Tyre,
The sweetest seem when flown.

SEARCH Th1 SCRIPTURES.-Ag gifted
lady who devoes herself to bible study,
and who has Wonderful power in un-
folding the hidd,n treasures of the word,
tells us how newlight came to her upon
the worn search, She was in Sweden,
and though she kew but little of the
language of that euntry, yet she liked
to read her chapte in Swedish every
day. One morningshe came upon the
words which stand N our translation,
"Search the Scripture" and found that
the first word in that passage was one
which we render in EIglish ''ransack."
Ransack is a very ssong word. 1t
means to search up andtown high and
low, from right to left,and in the cor
ners and by-places! Itneans to search
with the purpose to find, and he who
searches the Scriptures t,us will not
fail of his reward. That iswhat we all
need to do-ransack the lible! It is
full of hidden treasure. W. shall not
find it if we search with lazy, half
formed purpose; but if we setourselves
in earnest to rdns0ck the bihe for our
food of life, O how it will ohn to us,
and how strong and courageousve shall
become.

rather a thriftless man and had been
unfortunate; his little home was mort
gagged, and unless the debt could be re.
paid, the house would be sold over his
head. Kathie heard, and did not hesi-
tate an instant. Her boarding of earn
ings went to pay the debt.
1t was bad to be so cramped for little
money, and ones wedding-day 80 near.
Her wardrobe was limited. She needed
nice seal-brown cashmere dreadfully,
and light silk or two for evening wear.
Aunt Grayson told the truth-she would
look shabby in the grand rooms at Oak
lands, in the very midst of Charley's
stately sisters
The tears came faster, and presently
the little pearl-handled knife, with
which she was ripping the seams, fell
suddenly, and cut great cash across
the breast of the coat.
Kathie gave little shrek of dismay.
''There, now! I've spoiled the best
of the cloth; can't get my jacket out
What shall do?"
Down went the bright young head,
and with her face buried in grandpapa's
old coat. Kathie cried as if her heart
would break
Something rustled under her hands.
"Why, what's this? Some Of poor
grandpapa's paper!"
She tore the lining loose, and there,
beneath the wadding, was package
done up in parchment, and tied up in
red tape.
Kathie drew it forth. On one side
was written ''This package belongs to
my granddaughter Kathie."
"Why, what can it be?" cried the
young girl, her fingers futtering, as she
tugged at the tape.
At last the knot yielded, and she un-
folded the package. Folded coupon
bonds-a good dozen at least-and a
thick layer of crisp bank-notes. On the
top little note. She read it:
my dear granddaughter, here is
your marriage dowry-$10,0OO. One
day some fine fellow will claim you for
his wife. You are treasure in your
self, but take this from old grandpapa"
"Oh, grandpapa, you did not forget
me" sobbed Kathie.
A ring at the door startled her. She
Immediately looked out and saw her
lover; gathering her treasure into the
lap Of her apron, she rushed out to
meet him.
"Eh, Charlie, come quick! I've such
wonderful news to tell you"
The young man followed her into the
drawing room, wondering what had
happened.
She told him all.
"My darling" said he, his voice |
thrilling with tenderness, II am glad of
all this because you are glad. For my
own part, [ would rather have taken |
these darling little hands without a
in them. You need no dowry, |
Kathie; you are crowned with beauty
and purity and goodness. In my eyes
you are always fresh and fair and lovely, |
no matter what you wear. 1 love you |
for your own sweet self, my darling"
Kathie let the folded coupons and |
bank-notes slip from her apron and fall |
TO the floor in rustling shower.
"Oh, Charlie!" she whispered, lean
ing her head against his shoulder, II
am so glad!"
"Glad of what, Kathie? Grandpapa's |
dowry?"
mo! glad you love me for myself"
He clasped her closely, at their feet |

needed. Philadelphia saturday Eve,e-

THE NEW YEAR.

The year is dead! And all its griefs
And joys have passed away!
The regions of the past have claimed
The Old Year from to-day.
The sun has shone his last farewell,
AS clear and golden red
He gazed around, and slowly sank
Into his azure bed.
The moon has risen pale and cold
And watched the Old Year die;
And silently she marked the hour,
Received the latest sigh.
Laden with dead leaves came the wind.
And spread them DER his pail,
And nature, gazing mutely on,
Beheld the Old Year fall,
And from the solemn village church
There tolls his fun'ral knell;
Sadly amid nights silence sounds
That solitary bell.
But, hark from far joyous chime
Comes stealing on the year;
1t is a peal to greet thy birth,
Thou young, thou fair New Year!
