ThOrns Held Sacred.

In Ulster, Ireland, the thorns are sa-
cred; no plough approaches within
some feet of them, and even to touch
their branches is unlucky. Innumera
bic are the tales of fool-hardy persont
who, after many warning insisted on
breaking off leaves or boughs from
such trees, and who were punished by
losing the guilty hand, or by its being
so torn by the thorns as to be crippled
for life. Sometimes a man alone at
work in the fields would hear his own
name distinctly called and, looking up,
would see all the little f TX in green
dancing on hillside or playing among
trees, and whilst he gazed they would
all vanish again. They are in popular
legends the very embodiment of caprice
and ftful zeal for good or evil. For
no apparent cause, some man or woman
is suddenly singled out for every sort
of favor; the ashes on the hearths are
changed by night to glittering gold,
the empty cars are filed with we'll
water by the toll of the tiny friends,
the housework is done, and the barrel
keptfull Of meal; and then on a sudden
they forsake the favor-te Of a fortnight,
and pelt him with petty woes till he is
half wild, or, maybe, dry up the supply
of milk, lame his horses, or blight his
child. Their love of children, and
their longing to carry them away, have
suggested many touching ballads, and
they are supposed to be willing to give
any good gift to a household in return
for leave to rock the cradle.

yes; master baby was awake and
insisted upon being taken up and dress

was over he screamed with indigna-

ready for him.
"Ah, remember" said Ted, "mother

milk waiting for him; it seems to me
there's a lot of things to remember
about a house and baby
A great number of things poor
Ted found to attend to; the beds

the fire to attend To-; the meals meals

desire to check the growth Of the in
stitution Of slavery. After the aboi-
ton Of slavery they no longer had

that party to monopoly. its reckless
and wasteful administration Of the
National finances, its neglect TO re-
lieve the people Of unnecessary and
oppressive taxes, its gifts Of vast areas
Of the public domain to speculative
corporations. its theft Of the Prcsi-

to oppose the reduction Of the war
tariff. have operated to drive back to

the Democracy during the anti-slayery

they are still coming. Besides. ther q
are thousands Of original Republicans
who admire the integrity and man
