chamber of the countess and warned her
of the proceedings in the hail. What
resistance could she make? She and her
maids swung the door of the hall which
approached her chamber close, and
drawing in the bolts retired to abide
their fate
A new adventure, however, awaited
them. They had just returned to the
chamber, when the window which

which the newly risen moon had been

MacNial Oge showed off from the

while his companion held the rudder.
In this manner they toiled against the
wind and the rising tide, the storm
every moment becoming fiercer and the
lightning beginning to sweep through
the atmosphere. At length the blue
forked brand swept past almost before
the eyes Of the rowers, followed by a
long, sharp roll of thunder.

MacNial, ''wilt thou not turn from this

At this moment a loud sound as OF

sFly, for the sake of the Mary moth
er, fiy!'' exclaimed O'Hanlon, seizing
the countess round the waist and drag
ging her to the window. He had caught
hold of the rope and was about to com
nit himself and his now insensible bur
den to it when loud crash announced
that the chamber door had fallen before
the battering ram of its assailants.
O'Hanlon dropped from the window
and committed himself to the rope. He
had scarcely half way descended, how
ever, when bright light shone on the
walls of the castle and the water be-
meath. He looked hurriedly upward,
and there an awful sight greeted him.
From the window in which his rope
was fastened cleaned a torch of bog
wood, throwing its red light on the de-
moniac features of an Irish kern. A
cold perspiration broke upon O'Hanlon,
and his hands almost loosed their hold.
''They are escaping by rope, and
we are foiledl' exclaimed the kern
above.
'Then for what use is skein in thy
belt, fool: replied the voice Of the
harper.
The rope quivered for moment il

above, and dashing noise as of the fall

an Intellectual and agonized struggle

self seems to be against us? There are
those in the castle of Carrickfergus who
will do their work all the better with
out our presence.
g 'Tis lest their work should be done
too we'll that | am here to join them, ~
replied O Hanlon. "Thinkest thou, man,
that should now be tossing on Gar
moyle in crazy curragh, with the blue
lightning sweeping about mine ears,
without a good cause for my journey
His companion made no reply. but
took again to his oars. William, earl
of Ulster, whom O Hanlon denominated
'sthe black De Bourgho, was at the
period of which we write the principal
enemy with whom the northern Irish
chieftains had to contend. The failure
of the expedition of Edward Bruce,
brother of King Robert of Scotland, had
left large portion of Antrim debatable
ground, and De Bourgho, earl of Ul-
ster, had seized upon Carrickfergus
Many attempts had been made to dis
lodge the Saxon settlers by the 0 Kanes,
MacQuillans and O'Neills, but without
success. The earl had his residence in
the castle of Carrickfergus, where his
countess and only child resided with
him. He was a brave and warlike man
and brought both superior skill and
weapons to defend his colony against
the assaults of the natives. The natural
consequence of his being hemmed in
upon all sides by the Irish, however,
was that his followers became inter
mingled with them by marriages and
other ties, and at length some Of his
own domestics leaned strongly toward
the neighboring chiefs in their affec-
tion. although outwardly they owed
their fealty to the earl. To suborn these
to the interests of O'Kane of Doom y
even, or Dungiven, was found to be a
matter of comparatively easy perform
ance, and accordingly conspiracy was
set on foot in his own household.
Con o Hanlon, who with his compan-
hon made his way across the bay toward
Carrickfergus, was young chieftain
who held his lands from the holy BROTH

ST. PATRIcK,s DAY.

Though centuries since have departed
And vanished like visions away,
The sons of the soil, simple hearted,
Still honor st. Patrick, his day
On Patricx's birthday in the morning
The shamrock, fresh culled, may be seen
Bold hearts and fair bosoms adorning,
Baptized in its native poteen.
Wherever Gods sun lights a people,
Wherever men breathe his free air
Or worship meath plane tree or steeple,
Some exile from Erin is there,
And sad though he may be and lonely
He wears next the cross of his God
On his heart the dead shamrock that only
Can bloom upon Erin s green sod.
Far west DER the limitless prairie,
Far south past the spice breathing isles
That morning as in Tipperary
Each exile is jocunessand smiles.
The smiles from his brow Danish sorrow,
He conjures up blessings to come,
Hopes on for brighter tomorrow
And revels in visions of home.
