! shore. near the boat-house at Kenmare.
when I was again waylaid by the hand
some girl: but this time she was accom-
panied hy q young man. She looked
grave, though happy, as she walked low
ingIv by his side, and her patronizing
ways had altogether departed from her.
I looked carefully at the young man.
He was tall and strong his beard was
massive. and reached almost to his chest;
his face was handsome, but sunburnt
and weather-beaten and his whole
appearance was as little like her lover
Eugene as it was possible for it to be.
[ stood still as the pair approached
me, looking intently from one to the
other. Mary and the man came close up
to me- and-as neither OF them addressed
mel was the first to speak
Glow is this, Nary?' said I, '.and
who is this man who accompanies you :?
You surely do II : mean to say that you
have cast off Eugene, and taken up with
another man ?"
Mary leaped nearly foot from the
ground as [ said SO. Il knew your
honor wouldn't know him p she cried in
sudden ecstasy of Joy. ''Why, this is
Eugene himself Sure didn'the deceive
me, when he first came into the cabin,
and why would your honor know him
Look at him now, and tell me if he has
not grown a real man i'll earnest. Turn
round, Eugene, and show yourself )"
and assuming her old ratronizing way
for a moment, she turned him round and
round for me to look at and admire,
whilst he submitted with loving, tender
look at his bride.
''And so this is indeed Eugene come
back" I exclaimed, ''and such a fine,
manipulating fellow too. I hope you
prospered, Eugene, and that you will
now take out Mary to a new and happy
home far better and richer than her little
place on the barren mountain ?"
Eugere was about torepIy, when Mary
Ieaped up and caught him round the
neck with her arms.
ooh, Eugene - cried she-aImost in
Mysteries between joy and anxiety
''take me away with you soon oh, take
me away we cannot go too soon for
me - Then-turning rapidly to me
she said in a joyous and altered voice:
He has got a fine place of his own
now, and twenty acres Of good land, and
a grand wooden house, in which he says
I can live as comfortable as any lady.
Oh, Eugene, darIin' !" cried she, turning
to him again, ''take Inc away-take me
away and let us 90 TO our new home,
and never know sorrow or hunger more I!
She burst into tears, and, clinging to
his neck, kissed him over and over again,
till he took her gently in his arms, and
placed her sitting--stiu sobbing like a
child-on a bank of grass close by.
g Sir, said he, 81 have to thank you
for your kindness. Ihave brought hack

prom .Jlu presence not to let
more than one year pass without return
ing-whether I came rich or poor. [ have
come back according to my promise.
If not rich, at least with enough to give
her plenty to eat, and a warm comfort
able home; and [ hope soon to make 1t
better. Tomorrow We 60 to Cork: we
are to be married there. The next day
we sail for the West. May God bless
you, sir. I will never forget your kind
ness" Andhe placed his passage-money
in my hand.
Mary sat listening while he spoke,
sobbing and crying all the while. He
lifted her gently up. She seized my
hand and kissed it, covering it with her
tears. Then suddenly smiling, whilst
the large drops trembled in her eyes,
she gave me one grateful and happy
look, and left the seashore with her
lover.
