IRISH BURIAL PLACES.
Strong Desire of All to Be Buried with
Their Anc tors.

Strong Desire of All to Be Buried with
Their Ancestors.
The Irish are very particular as to
where they will be buried. 1t goes
without saying that they want to be
inferred in consecrated ground; but
they also wish to be laid with their
own in the ancient hallowed spot
where their ancestors for many gen.
Grafton have been put to rest. Each
family has it's burying-place, and
whenever member dies-unless it be
beyond the seas or at some insuper-
able distance-he is brought to be
buried with his sires. Hence. it is that
funeral professions are oftentimes seen
to wend their slow way past many a
wayside churchyard to some far-off
burial ground, because it is there that
for many and many a generation the
forefathers of the deceased have laid
themselves down for their last long
sleep.-Rev. c. OMahony in Dona-
hoes.

or you will unnerve me just when I
pitch. Happiness was never meant for
me; doomed to always sup with pow
erty. Kiss me again, Aunty. Soon l
will come and lie at your side, where
your arms can enfold me; dearest
arms that have so many times crushed
me to a loving heart"
The marquis was strongly shaken
for a man whose untold millions were
the wonder and marvel of Lombard
street, to be thus brought face to race
with the direst poverty, was a rude
shock.
Suddenly he became aware OF the
fact that some noxious gas came TO MS
attention. He shifted at the charged
air susplciously, and decided on the IN
slant that it was the fumes of smold-
ering charcoal. Then the dreadful Sig
nif canoe of what he had heard, the
prayer for pity and forgiveness, the
gradually dying murmur of voices
good heavens! Vt meant the desperate,
poverty-stricken wretch's last fling at
outrageous fortune, the sole relief from
gnawing hunger and corroding care
it meant suicide-while he fingered
and planned those whom he would
have helped might have crossed the
grim divide that bordered the shadowy
land of death!

BOOK THREE.
The Modern Monte Cristo.
CHAPTER XIV.

The Marquis of Montezuma.
1t was lovely June, and London shell
tered at least million and half of
visitors within her gates, for the great
est Jubilee the world has ever known
was in progress, to celebrate the end
ing of sixty years reign on the part
of the beloved sovereign, Victoria.
Among the millions who gazed upon
the marvellous spectacle, none occu-
pied a more commanding position than
a gentleman of distinguished appear
ance, who seemed to control several OF
the best windows in the second floor
of a famous hotel in front of which
the procession moved.
His manner seemed cold and re-
pressed, as though his heart were not
in this scene. Indeed, at times he APP
peared gloomy, as might man bowed
down with heavy cares.
Among those who speculated with
regard to the identity Of this mysteri-
GUS guest Of the fashionable hotel
were couple Of gentlemen seated at
the window of an Office further down
the street.
One of these was no other than Cap
tain Maurice Livermore, the famous
traveller. His companion was a club
man, who pretended to do little bust
ness for the looks of the thing, which
accounted for the office in the Strand.
Come. tell me who that fellow over
yonder may be? He seems to lord it
like a prince of the blood. From what
part of the world does he hail?" ask
ed the captain.
Some weeks ago." said his COM
panion, "he burst in upon London like
comet, and in two days the talk of
the town was nothing but Don Juan
de Overton, or, as some have called
him. the Marquis of Montezuma.
His wealth is affirmed to be with
out limit, and in this day that is an
assertion which can be said of few
men; but Don Juan spends money like
water. and his extravagances have
cast poor Barney Barnato quite in the
shade. while even Dumas Monte
Cristo is hardly in the swim.
1T has even been given on strong
authority that he has a personal for
tune Of over twenty million pounds
sterling"
The captain raised his hands to ex-
press surprise.
".Jevel Have you met the Marquis?"
well. / have had that pleasure"
complacently.
Then some day when the oppor-
tunity arises, make me acquainted with
this remarkable Spanish-American ma
bob. this modern Croesus, whose
touch is gold, like that of mythical
Midas"
Willingly. You like to study man.
and in him you will find a puzzle
worthy Of your metal"
Well, find a chance to bring me
into touch with this American nabob.

The general pressed his hand.
He was growing fainter; his eyes
assumed a far-away stare; again MS
mind wandered to earlier scenes in MS
tenpestuous life, and he gave orders
to his army: called upon the enemy
to surrender, uttered endearing phrases
to some lovely woman. whose race
haunted him at this the closing nour
of his career; and then addressed walt
ing spirits, whom he seemed to see
lowering near. Who dares to say IL
was only imagination? Then came
the death rattle, the rigor that stiff
ened his stout frame, and all was over.
AS Oyerton knelt there above all

CHAPTER Nv.
The Turning of the Tide.

Whatever may have been the mys-
terry of his past life, the marquis DEM
onstrated the fact beyond all perad-
venture that he was man OF action
able to meet an emergency as 1t arose
and overwhelm 1t.
One leap and he was outside the
door of his attic room-another TOOK
him to that of the adjacent chamber,
from whence had come the murmur OF
voices.
He tried to open this. but was baf-
fied-then he remembered, having
heard the key turned in the lock after
the entrance of the detected miniature
painter.
He threw his full weight forward, in
such a manner that the impact was
something tremendous.
There was a crash, and the door flew
back.
Into the chamber darted the mar
quis, holding his breath, for the deadly
fumes of the wretched little charcoal
stove were almost suffocating.
His first move was to throw up the
window, thus allowing a current or
pure air, at least as good as this sec
ton of London could boast, to sweep
through the chamber, draught being
formed by the open door.
Next he picked up the pitcher of
water standing on the box and dash
ing it over the smoldering charcoal.
effectually wound up its miserable part
of the tragedy.
To the bed he fastened
The women lay there wan and mo-
tionless-indeed, his first thought was
that he had come to the rescue too
late. and that death had already
claimed his victims.
Picking up the younger one in his
strong arms, this resolute man of ac-
ton bore her to the window, and laid
his burden down where the incoming
current of air would fall upon her
| face
Then he went back for her older
companion.
Her eyes were open, though she
seemed to be speechless-evidently she
had partially covered her head with
the bed clothes and thus in measure
escaped the full result of the smoth-
ering sensation.
Again he hurried to the side of the
form at the window, bending oh, SO
eagerly over her, and scanning her
pinched face for signs of returning
animation.
The flutter of an eyelid, low sigh
slight movement of a hand-these
were enough to tell him the joyful
tidings and when he had assured him
self of this fact, faint, but feryent
thank God" came from the bearded
lips of the man.
