A SONG OF KILLARNEY.

 

By‘jhe Lakes of Killarney, one morning in May,
On, my pipe of green holly I warbled away,
While a blackbi rd, high up on the arbutus tree,
Game back my gay music with gushes of glee,
'When my Eileen‘s voice stole
From the thicket of holly,
And turned just the whole
Of our fluting to folly,
And softly along
Through the myrtle and heather
The maid and her song
Swept upon us together.

’Twas an old Irish tale, full of passionate trust,
Of two faithful lovers long laid in the dust,
And her eyes, as she sang, looked so far, far away,
Shewent by me, nor knew she went by where I
lay.
And myself and the grass,
And the deeshy red daisies
Should let our dear pass,
Only whisp’ring her praises,
Till the lass and her lay
Through the myrtle and heather
Like a dream died away
O‘er the mountain together.
——Alfred l’erceval Graves in The Spectator.

It was toward the end of August when I
paid my first visit to the old Chateau de
Fleury.

My road, a mere cart track, lay across the
plain, between the golden stubble fields that
till a few days before had been covered with
ripe corn. It was not often that I walked
away from the great forest that stretched
darkly over the gently swelling hills behind
me~ but it was late in the afternoon, the
shadows already gathered thickly beneath its
shade, and I turned involuntarily toward the
sun. My walk was solitary. The only peo-
ple I met were one or two laborers, men and
women, returning from their work, who sa-
luted me as they passed with “Bon soir,
inlsieu.”

The scene was very peaceful; the air was
warm and soft, the sinking sun cast his rays
gently over the earth; far away, from one of
the many villages dotted on the plain, came
the sound of the vesper bell, and the land
looked very fair. But with its beauty there
was also that sadness which will come when
summer is giving place to autumn. The
earth is at rest. She has brought her wealth
of fmit and flowers to perfection, and is tak-
ing a; breathing space before beginning her
winter struggles. Summer is still with her,
but he hovers with outstretched Wings, ready
to answer the voices that call him elsewhere,

a last tender, loving farewell look

. upon the land'he has so blamed with his pres

ence.

And with this sadness upon me I passed
through the old gateway and stood in the
gran: quadrangle. The grass had grown
longand the paths were covered with weeds,
but it was not quite deserted, for at the well
an did man in a blue apron was drawing
Wm. He raised his bucket and, with slow
andlaborious steps, turned and passed through
a little postern gate, the water splashing over
as hewent. The inclosure in which I stood
was‘lbrmed On three sides by outbouses and
stablm; on the fourth, facing me, by the
dwelling house, forming a. second court and

from the large one by a moat
crowd by a drawbridge. This inner court
was brilliant with flowers, wasting their
swmess sadly, for there was no one now to
open the shuttered windows and come down
the terrace steps to wonder at their beauty.
And I stood under the at limes by the
well and thought of the ys gone by, when
the chateau had been full of life and gayety,
and wondered if such times would ever come

again.

Presently I roused myself, and turning to
mealeft I went round to the other side of the
house. The moat surrounded itonlyon three
sides; the back, or rather the real front,
faced a large lakein a far stretching green
park. There wasa terrace on this side of the
building, too, the steps leading into a beauti-
ful rose garden. The roses were falling now,
but the evening air was laden with their
scat, and here and there was still a perfect
flower. The shadows were lengthening over
the water; two or three little islands lay
darkly on its surface; the wild luxm'ia'noe of
the vegetation pointed, no doubt, to the fact
that the placewes very damp, but on this
August evening it looked warm and sweet
enough.

Presently the sun flung a last bright smile
to the tall. stately trees, and touched the
weathercocks on the old turrets with gold.

, The sky became tinged with delicate pale

green and rose color, the reflection of the

f, sunset I could not see. For a. few minutes
::j the ad place was full of soft light, and then
,1 the radiance slowly died away and the twi-
light came on space.

Still I could not bring myself to leave the

'- spot. Ihadsunkdownupona momcovered
.3 stoneamong the roses, and was gazing out
- oven-the lake. Vague, dreamy thoughtscame

floating through my brain, and I sat on un-

.' conscious of the passing time.

Suddenly I hmme aware that the light on

5 thepn'cture before me was changing. Myste—

rious shadows lay upon the grass on the op-
posite shore of the lake. The islands were
floating in a silvery mist. An old boat
moored close tome seemed toshine like a
fairy skiff, fit for any of those dainty domes
of the olden time, of whom I had been dream-
ing, to take their pleasure in. Clearer and
clearer became the light, more fairy like and
bright the scene, and when my own shadow
grew out of the ground at my feet I turned
and, behold. the great golden moon had
climind the heavens and was ing through
the trees to the east. A slig tbreezesprang
up and rustled their loam softly. They
whispered and bent to one another, and the
air mfull of their sound. In the center of
the lake a fish leapt, the water into
a thousand sparkling ripples that eddied to
my feet.

Atlast I rose and turned to go, when I be-

‘ ceme- aware of a startling change in the ap-

pearance of the house. It was no longer
dark and deserted. The shutters were thrown
open. Lights shone from every cement,

with flowers, and flowers were twined round
the frames of the family portraits on the
walls. There were many portraits, of all pe-
iods. Knights in armor, dames in high

her face is very colorless, and her deep blue
eyes have a strained, nervous look. The two
do not seem at ease in each other’s company;
from time to time the gentleman pays the
lady a vapid compliment, to which she re-
sponds faintly or not at all. .

Now there is a general move toward the
top of the room. and the musicians cease.
The company gathers round a. square oak
table; on it are pens, ink and several large
sheets of paper. A man in plain black gar-
ments, evidently a notary, takes a Seat.
Father and son stand near each other, and
on the farther side the young couple who have
so interested me; then I see the likeness be-
tween the girl and the two men opposite, and
it flashes sci-om my mind that I am '
at that betrothal scene I had heard of a few
days before. The notary begins to read, the
document tells of the dower of the bride and
the settlements made by the bridegroom,
calling forth many exclamations of wonder
and sighs of envy from the assembled guests.
The father and son listen with stem satisfac-
tion; the bridegroom pretends to pay no 8&-
tcntion; the bride, poor little thing, gets
paler and more nervous.

Now thereading has cometounend,and
amidst the buzz of conversation the host

bends over the table and her name is added
to the rest.

The bum being over, the Ladies crowd
round her with congratulations on the splen—

moves away. Presently she begs them to
leave her by the window. She feels a little

clings to him, and sinking on her knees,

3 Mr. Meyer, the special examiner of the bu- i
, reau of pensions, told of a. man who lives up '
g in Butler county. He is paralyzed from a
i sunstroke received while on the march to
; Washington to the grand review after the
i surrender of Lee. Not a man could be found
i to assistin proving his claim. All his com—
, rades of the march were scattered or dead.
i There was not a scrap of paper of official rec-
0rd.
j “I was satisfied,” said Mr. Mayer, “that
. here was a genuine case. His story was al-
5 ways consistent, and then he was a compara-
' tively helpless paralytic. He could move
1 about a little, but could do no work. Itried
l in every imaginable way to get him to recall
1 something that would give me a clew, but:
i visit after visit to him brought nothing.
i “I finally asked him one day if he ever
i wrote letters home, and if he might not have
g written about that time.
i “ ‘W’hy, yes,’ said he, ‘I used to writetomy
sweetheart.’

“ ‘And where is she now ?’ I asked.

“ ‘There she is.’

“ ‘Did you ever save any of those letters,
madam?’ I inquired. [Just as thoughawoman
didn’t always save her love letters tied up in
a ribbon.)

“ ‘W'hy, yes; I believe all the letters he ever

wrote me are up stairs somewhere now,’ she
replied. Pretty soon she came back with a
worn and faded package of letters. And
among them she founda letter from her then
sweetheart, describing the very incident of
the sunstroke. He had written her as soon as
he had recovered sufficiently and told how
the clay was oppressive and the march to
Washington hot and dusty, and how he had
been overcome with the heat and had fallen
out by the wayside and had lain under a tree
all day long while the columns were march-
ing by. '
“ at letter to his sweetheart saved the
day. It got him his pension. He had been
trying ever since 1865 until recentlyto secure
it. It was a. case in which I became profound-
1y interested, and I rejoiced with them. ”—

A Comprehensive Question.

The J ewe are fond of telling stories on
themselves, and, by unanimous consent, the
second hand clothesman can be saddled with
the responsibility for any points on the race.
But one of the most comprehensive questions
I ever heard was put by one of those second-
hand fellows to another after he had just suc-
coded in selling him an old coat for new.

When-Boxers Kept Open House.

It is scarcely too much to say that he kept

open house for men of letters. and many dis-

ed writers of the time owed to him
their introduction to London society. A
large part of the correspondence which has
been preserved arose out of such visits, and
and much of the very high distinction
Rogers’ house attained is due to the kindly
mention made of it by men who had them-
selves helped to render it attractive. It dif-
fered in many respects from the houses of
mere rich men or men of title who played
the patron of poor authors. Rogers enter-
tained them as one of themselves. He was
not the patron, but the poet. Literary men
and artists even at this day feel the differ-
ence between visiting one another and visit
ing people who only want to parade them be
fore their friends.

How much greater was the distinction
when this century was young! The company
at his table was carefully chosen, and men
and women who met there rarely found
themselves antipathetically mixed. The
table was not too large for the conversation
to be general; the company was not numer-
ous enough to break up into groups. then
the host spoke his guests listened His good
thin s were not for his next neighbors only,
but or all. So with his chief guests. They
liad the whole company for audience. Sharp’s
acute observations, Mackintosh’s wonderful
talk, Wordsworth’s monologue, Sydney
Smith's irreprew’ble fun, were not confined
to their next neighbors, but were for the
whole group. People went away, therefore,
not merely remarking what agreeable peOple
sat by them at dinner, but what a. pleasant
party it was-Rogers and His Contempora-
ties.

and thengot near, stood over it to keep it in

their homes yesterday to call forafree

your mama ?” Little Charlie—J love papa

am surprised at you. I thought you
loved me most. Charlie—Cant help it,
mama; we men have to stick together.

 

If there ever was a specific for any one
complaint then Carter’s Little Liver Pills
are a specific for sick headache and every
woman should know this. They are not
only a positive cure, but a sure preventive
if taken when the approach is felt. Car-
ter’s Little Liver Pills act directly on the
liver and bile, and in this way remove the
cause of disease without first making you
sick by a weakening purge. If you try
them you will not be disappointed.

yourself. Use Sulphur Bitters, and you
will have a sound mind and a strong body.
