They were both rather low sized, but very muscular, and were-clad in the white frieze jacket generally worn, while two caps of fur evidently of their own rude manufacture, were pulled deeply over their brows, and nearly concealed their features. Though his approach roust have been perceived* they did not move a limb; nnd as he ‘stepped from one stoue to another, till be stood upon the last one the silence continued perfectly unbroken At length the youth gave them the general salutation of— “ God save you, boys.” To which they both answered, “ God save you kindly ogragaiwithout mov ing an inch. “ Would you be pleased to move a little aside, and allow me to pass?” again he asked. “ An’ might a dacint boy ax for what id you be wantin' to pass here, alhont offiudin,” was the reply. A gleam ol indignation at being thus questioned, lor a moment lit up his I proud dark eye, hut then seeing thefol- | ly of anger, he subdued his rising chol- cr, and answered, “ My business lias nothing to d_o with you or yours, but by what rightllo you iBinrqncstton ine!” ,-4' “ Maybe \ve have a fight, and maybe we have not,” was the* ready answer, “ bud, anyhow, divil recave the fut you’ll pass till we know your business, seein’ as bow you might be an informer, or a gager,~cuinin* still huntin,* though tq spake the thrutir, you hav’nt mooch the cut ofaither.” “ Well, then,” said the youth-smiling involuntarily at the rude compliment, “I have traveled many a weary' day, am! many a weary night, to look once more on the home where I was born, am! yonder valley is the spot.” Here a hasty consultation seemed to with astonishment at meeting with his father. The wood fire was replenished—ihe o peasants had withdrawn—.and young Delany sal on a low stool oppo site his fat hi r, who occupied the corn- collage seat, a straw bass. Oil the teuauce of the latter, there was an ession that told of wrongs endured, and deep suffering, but now it was al most all lost in-the smile of joy that sal like sunlight upon his rugged fea tures, while a deeper spot of crimson rested on the centre of his son’s pallid cheek, and almost gave the appearance, of health. “ But tell me,” said he, 1 “ how is it that I am so blessed as to find you here, when I thought myself almost alone in the world, and that you were thousands of miles away ?” “ It’s a long story,” he began' an there is grief in the tcllin; fur who wouldn’t grieve to be obleeged to lave their home an their coumhry an their green fields—to lave lliim in chains, athout biddiu -farewell to the child ov their heart, and to know that the inform er an the tnurdherin Sasscnagh were burnin and destroy in all they have had.
