possessed a secret. He was too Irinh
aud too sly to go to the police office at
once; his little game was to try and find
ut w ho had been robbed, and'what re¬
ward they would give.
Meanwhile he had to breakfast off a
stale roll given him by a baker out ol
charity. About noon he passed through
i. principal street, and lol in a silver¬
smith’s shop was a notice, written very
large; !
“THinTY OriNF.AS reward
i i Whereas, these premises were broken
into last night, and the following valu¬
able property abstracted—”
Then followed an inventory a foot
long.
“The aliove reward will be paid to any
person who will give such information
as may lead to the conviction of the
thieves and the recovery of the stolen
goods, or any considerable part thereof.”
Patrick walked in and asked to see the
proprietor. A little fussy man in a great
slate of agitation responded to that
query. ?”
“Are you in earnest now, sorr asked
Rat.
“Jn earnest! Of course I am.”
“ Wliat if a dae.ent poor boy like me
was to find you the silver and thieves
and all ?”
“I’d give you the thirty guineas, and
my blessing into the bargain.”
“Maybe ye wouldn’t like to give me
my dinner an’ all, by raison I’m just
famishing with hunger?”
This proposal raised suspicion, and
tlio proprietor asked his name.
“Patrick O’Rafferty. I’m tenant to
Squire Ormsby.”
“I know liim. Well, Patrick, I sup
pose you can give me some information.
I’ll risk tho dinner, anyway.”
“Aii, well, sorr,” said Patrick, “ they
say ‘ fling a sprat to catch a whale.’ A
rump-steak and a quart of ale is a favorite
repast of mine ; when I have had ’em
I’ll arn ’em, by tho holy poker 1”
“Slep into my back parlor, Mr. O’Raf¬
ferty,” said tho silversmith.
He then sent for the rump-steak very
loud, and for a policeman in a whisper.
The steak came first, and was most
welcome. When he had eaten it the
modest O’Rafferty asked for a pipe and
pot. Whilst , ho smoked , . and , sipped . , calmly , ,

Their ten soft buds that part and meek
No flower bells that expand and »brfr>
Gleam hah' so heavenly sweet
As shine on life'B untrodden brink

A baby’s hands, like rosebuds fnrlef

Then, fast an warriors grip their brands #
When battle’s bolt is hurled,
They close, clench hard like tightening bands
No roselrado yet by dawn impearled
Match, even in loveliest lands,
The sweetest flowers in, the all world—
A baby’s hands.
Hi.

Ere lips learn words or sighs,
Bless all things bright enough to win
A baby's eyes.

Patrick O’Rafferty was a small farmer
iu tho County Leinster. He and his
father before him had been yearly ten¬
ants to Squire Ormsby for fifty years on
very easy terms.
Patrick—more uneasy than hia siro —
now and then pestered this Squire for a
lease. Then the Squire used to say,
“Well, if you make a point of it, I will
have tho land valued aud a lease drawn
accordingly.” But this iniquitous pro¬
posal always shut O’Rafferty’s mouth

“Bure, ^ siud he, “if I had sold her
now,
for twelve pounds, it’s four pounds I’d lie
losing by that distance same bargain. '
Some lit tlo outside the town
he found a deserted hovel; there was no
*lt»or, window nor floor; but the roof was
free from holes in one or two places, and
there was a dry corner, and a heap of
straw in it. Paddy thanked his stars for
providing him with so complete and
gratuitous a shelter, and immediately
burrowed into the straw, and was about
lo drop’asleep alien the glimmer ol
lantern shot in through the doorway and
voices muttered outside.
Patrick ,, , . , nestled , deeper , in ... the straw; . He ,
was n icspass, r, am i s.inm 1 1
and yet too early for tl.e virtues, chanty
included, to be afoot.
Two men came m with a sack, a spade
and a lantern ; one of them lifted the
lantern up aud took a cursory glance
around the premises. Patrick, whom tin
sixade had set a-shivering held liis
breath. Then the man put down the
lantern, and his companion went ta
work and dug, not a grave ss panting
Pat exjieeted, bat a lug round hole.
This done, they emptied tlie sack;
out rolled and tiuklcxl sih'er salvers of all
kinds, ooffee-pots, tea-pots, folks,
spoons, brooches, necklaces, rings—a
mine of wealth that glowed and glittered
in the light of the lantern.
Patrick began to perspire as well as
tremble. The men filled iu the hole,
stamped the earth firmly down, and
then lighted their ju|h-s and held a con
saltation. The question was how to dis
t'ose of these valuables. After some
differences of opinion they agreed that
cue Barney was the fence they would in
vite to the sjie't, and if he would not give
one hundred pounds for the sjxffl thev
would take it to Dublin. It transpired
that Barney live,l at some distance, but
not too far to oome to morrow evening and
inspect the booty. Then, if he would
spring to their price, they would go
home with him and receive the com.

and lucky Pat went quietly to sleep.
He awoke in broad daylight, aud
strolled back into the town. He walked J I
jauntily, for, if be had no money, he
Well, they did not. They were in
great anxiety, too, but it took the form of
hurry. They dug furiously, displayed
the booty to Barney all in a hurry, and
demanded their price.
“NoW, then, one hundred pounds, or
take your last look at ’em.**
“One hundred pounds I” whined Bar¬
aev, “Can’t be done.”
“Very well; there’s no time to bar¬
gain,”
“I’ll give eighty pounds. But 1 shall

The words Were hardly oiit of his
mouth when the hovel gleamed with a
lurid tire, so vivid and penetrating that

came f>ut diatiuefc.

she was not loth to yield. The influen
