THE VALUE OF LIFE.
InjilitaJ fro® tke Frock, fej I:*. 1. f. Safari
Dedicated to the “Clloplan Literary So
ciety,” of Cartersville Female Seminary,
Joseph, opening the drawing-room
door, announced to us that the ]x«t
chais > was ready. My mother and
sister threw themselves into my
arms.
“ There is yet time,” they cried,
“ to give up this journey and remain
with us.”
“My mother, I am a nobleman, I
am twenty years old, and it is time
that my name was known in the
land, and that I enter upon a public
care* r, either in thearmy or at court.”
“ And when you are gone, Ber
nard, what will become of me?”
“ You will la? proud and happy in
hearing of the success of your son.”
“Anil if you sire killed in some
battle?”
“ What does it signify ? What is
life? Is it not a dream? And one
dreams only of glory when he is
twenty years old and a nobleman.
I shal l return to you, mother, in a few
years, a colonel or field-marshal, or
with some high post at Versailles.”
“Ah, well! what will happen
then ?”
“ Then I shall be respected and
looked up to by all, and each one
will take off his hat to me.”
“ And afterwards?”
“ I shall marry iny cousin Henri
etta, I shall see my young sisters
married, and we will all live with
you tranquil and happy, on my es
tates in Brittany.”
“ What hinders yon from begin
ning this life to-day ? lias not your
father left you the finest fortune in
the country, and is there for ten
leagues around a richer domain and a
more beautiful castle than that of
Roche-Bernard? Are you not hon
ored now by your vassals, and when
you pass through the village floes
one of them fail to take off his hat?
Do not leave us, my son ; stay with
your friends, your sisters, and w'itii
your old mother, whom, at your re
turn, perhaps you will no longer see.
Do not waste on vain glory, or short
en by anxieties and pain of every
kind, the days which already flow by
so swiftly. Life is a sweet gift,
my son, and tin* sunlight of Brittany
is so lovely.”
Baying this, she showed me through
the window of the drawing-room the
beautiful walks in my park, the old
chestnut trees in bloom, thejasmines, j
the honeysuckles whose perfume em
balmed the breezes, and whose foliage
gleamed in the sun.
In the ante-chamber stood the gar
dener with all his family. Bad and
silent, they also seemed to say : “ Do !
not go, our young master, do not go.”
Hortense, my eldest sister, clasped
me in her arms, and Amelia, my lit
tle sister, who was in a corner of the
room busy looking at the pictures in i
Fontaine's Fables, drew near me and ;
handing me the book : “ Read, read
this, brother,” she said weeping. It
was the fable of the “ Two Pigeons.”
I arose abruptly, i repulsed them
all. “1 am twenty years old, lam a
nobleman, i must have honor and
seek glory,-—let me go.”
And 1 darted into tin* open court,
and had climbed into the past-chaise,
when a woman appeared upon the
steps of the balcony. Henrietta! Blie
did not weep, she did not utter a
word; but pale and trembling, sin*
could hardly stand. With a white
handkerchief which she held in her
hand she waved rne a final adieu,
then fell uueoneious. 1 flew to her, I
raised her up, 1 pressed her to my
heart, and vowed to love her through
life; and the very moment she came
to herself, leaving her to the care of
my mother and sister, 1 ran to my
carriage without stopping, or turning
my head. Had I looked at Henriet
ta, 1 could not have gone.—A few
minutes afterwards the post-chaise
was rolling along the highway.
For sometime 1 thought only of
Henrietta, of my sisters, my mother,
and of all the happiness 1 had left
behind; but these ideas faded gradu
ally as the the turrets of lioche-
Bernard disappeared from my sight,
and shortly dreams of ambition and
glory took sole possession of ray spir
it. What projects! What castles in
Spain! What grand actions 1 per
formed in my post-chaise! Riches,
honors, dignities, success of every
kind, 1 refused nothing: I merited,
and 1 allowed myself everything ; in
short, rising in rank as 1 advanced
in my journey, l was duke and peer,
governor of a province and marshal
of France, when I arrived in the even-
ing at my inn.
The voice of my servant, who cull
ed me by the modest title, M. de j
Cfn mtu r, alone restored me to my-;
self and forced me to abdicate. The 1
next day and the succeeding week,
the same dreams beguiled me, for
my journey was long. It led mo to
the suburbs of Sedan, where resided:
the Duke of C ,an old friend of:
mv father and patron of my family. ;
He was to take me with him to •
Paris, whither he was going shortly, !
to present me at Versailles, and use
ids interest to obtain for me a milita- j
ry command. I arrived at Sedan too j
late in the afternoon to go to the!
castle of my patron, so l delayed my
visit till the morrow, and took lodg- j
ings at the Armes-de-France, the j
finest hotel in the town and the com
mon resort of all the officers, for Se- ;
dan is a garrison town, a fortified
place. The streets have a war-like j
aspect, and the citizens themselves j
wear a martial air which seems to
say to strangers: “ \Ye are country
men of the great Turenne.”
I supped at the public table, and
inquired the read to the castle of the |
Duke of C , situated three leagues j
from the town.
Anyone could point it out, was the 1
reply, for it was well known through
the country.
In th! - castle died a great warrior,
a cell .ated man, the Marshal Fa
bert. —And the conversation turned
upon Marshal Fabert : among young
soldiers this was natural. They spoke
of his battles, of his exploits, of
his modesty which caused him
to refuse the letters of nobility
and the decorations of rank
tendered to him by Louis XIV. TheV
magnified especially the extraordina
ry good fortune which had raised him
from a simple soldier to be a marshal
of France, a fortune which, even
during the lift* of Fabert, had ap
peared so wonderful that the super
stitious had not scrupled to attribute
his elevation to supernatural causes.!
They said that when a boy hehad stud- 1
iud magic and sorcery, and had made
a compact with the devil. And our !
landlord who to the stupidity of his
own province added the credulity of
our Breton peasantry, asssured us
with great coolness that at the castle
of the Duke of C , when Fabert
died, a black man whom no i
one knew had been seen to en
ter into his room, and disappeared
bearing with him the soul of the i
Marshal which he had formerly j
bought, and which belonged to him ;
and that even now, in the month of
May, the anniversary of the death of
Fabert, this same black man re-ap
peared in the evening, bearing with
him a small taper.
This narrative amused us, and we
drank a bottle of champagne to the
familiar (lemon of Fabert,-wish ing he
would take us also under his protec
tion, and enable us to gain some bat
tles like those of Collioure and La
Marfee.
The next (lay 1 arose very earlv,
and repaired to the castle of the Duke
of C ,an immense gothic structure,
which at another time I should not
perhaps have specially remarked, but
which I now contemplated with eu
riosity mingled with emotion, as I
recalled the tale we bail heard the
evening before from the landlord of
the Annes-de-Franee.
The footman who answered ray
summons did not know whether his
master was yet visible. i sent in
my name, and he departed, leaving
me alone in a kind of entrance-hall,
decorated with trophies of the chase
and with family portraits.
I waited sometime, and no one
came. “ This career of glory and
honor of which I have dreamed com
mences by dancing attendance in an
ante-chamber,” said 1 to myself, and
the discontent and impatience of a
solicitor for favor gained upon me.
I had already counted two or three
times all the family portraits and all
the beams in the ceiling, when I
heard a slight noise in the wainscot.
It was a door ill-closed that the wind
had just blown open. I looked, and 1
saw a very pretty boudoir lighted by
two large windows, and a glass door
opening into a magnificent park. I
had advanced some steps in this
apartment When I was arrested by a
•sight which had not before struck my
eyes.
A man, his back turned to the door
by which 1 had entered, was lying
upon asofa. He arose, and, without
perceiving me, ran to one of the win- j
down. Tears streamed down his
cheeks, a profound despair rested up
on every feature.
i le remained sometime motionless,
his head drooping in his hands; then
began to traverse the room with rap
id stridt*s.
I stood near him ; he perceived me
and started back. As for me, morti
fk*d and bewildered by my indisere- 1
tion, I would have retired stammer
ing some excuse.
“ Who are you, what do you want ?”
said he in astern voice, and catching
me by the arm.
“ i am the chevalier Bernard, of
Roche-Bernard, andhavejust arrived
from Brittany.”
“ 1 know, i know,” he cried, and
welcomed me most cordially, mak
ing me sit down beside him, speak
ing to me so eagerly about my father
and family, whom he seemed to
khow well, that L could not doubt
that lie was the master of the castle.
“ You are M. O ?” said I.
Looking at me strangely, he re
plied, “ 1 was the duke, I am he no
longer, J am less than nothing.”
Seeing my astonishment, he exclaim
ed, “ Not a word more, young man;
do not question me,”
“If, sir, 1 have unwittingly beheld ;
your grief, and if my devotion and
friendship could alleviate it ”
“ Yes, yes, you are right; not that
you can alter anything in my fate,
but you can at least receive my last!
wishes and vows. This is the" only
service I expect of you.” He closed |
the door, and returned to my side,
who, touched and trembling,awaited :
his words.
His countenance wore an expres
sion I had never seen before on a hu
man face. His brow which I exam
ed attentively seemed marked by
destiny. 11 is face was pale; his black
eyes Hashed like lightning, and
from time to time his features, though
altered by suffering, were contracted
by a fearful and ironical smile.
“That which I am going to tell
you,” he said, “ will shock your rea
son. You will doubt, nay, refuse to
believe; 1 very often doubt it my
self, at any rate I wish to do so, but
the proofs are here, and there is in
everything which surrounds us, in
the very organization of our
being, many mysteries that we
are compelled to receive with
out comprehending them.” He
paused a moment as if to collect his
thoughts, passed his hand across his
brow, and continued: “1 was born
in this castle. 1 lmd two elder broth
ers to whom reverted the fortune and
honors of our house. I had nothing
to hope for save the mantle and bands
of a priest, yet thoughts of ambition
and glory settled in my brain, and
made ray heart throb wildly. Un
happy in my obscurity, ambitions of
renown, I thought only of how I
might acquire it, and this idea made
me insensible to all the pleasures of
life. The present was nothing to
me, 1 lived only in the future, and
this future presented itself under the
darkest aspect.
“ 1 was nearly thirty years old and
had accomplished nothing, when we
heard on all sides of the literary rep
utations built up in Paris whose
splendid fame echoed even to our
remote province. 1 Ah,’ said I to
myself, ‘if I could only makeanaftie
in a literary career! This would be
imperishable honor and happiness.’
1 had lor the confidant of ray
troubles an old domestic, a Haytien,
who was in this castle long before
my birth. Indeed no one remember
ed when he came to it; the country
people pretend that he knew the
Marshal Fabert, and was present at
his death.”
At this moment the narrator saw
me make a gesture of surprise, paus
ed, and asked what 1 meant.
“ Nothing,” I said, but, spite of my
self, I thought of the black man of
whom the landlord had spoken the
previous evening.

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.
From an Unpublished Manuscript.
BY A LADY OK BAHTOVT COUNTY, GEORGIA. j
“No use is there in sighing,
For time is ever flying,
And if we sit with folded hands,
Sighing like grief with sable hands,
Within will joy be dying.”
J ust at night fall some soldiers rode
up to the gate from the opposite di
rection of the one the Yankees had
come in the morning, but it was too i
dark to distinguish the “ blue from!
the gray.” One of them spoke to me,
and asked if I was Mrs. . I re
plied in the affirmative. He then
asked me if I would please come out j
to the gate, that he wanted to see me i
a moment. “ Really, sir,” said I, “ I
do not know whether to do so or not;
I know not whether you are a friend
or foe.” Said he. “ I assure you,
madam, on the honor of a soldierand
gentleman that you have nothing to
fear, and that you shall be protected.”
Nevertheless I did not like my situa
tion at all, buts thought 1 would
make the best of it: so I went out
and found they were Confederate sol
diers, and had come on to'obtain in
formation of the whereabouts of the
Yankees, but I knew no more than
what I had seen that morning. The
day had been an unusually quiet one
after the Yankees left, and my hus
band had • made his escape. ‘As he
rode up to the gate that morning, a
soldier was with him, and I had in
sisted on his going no further, but he,
riding off, told me that he would
come back and tell us all about the
Yankees in a short while. They
might, either one have seen the other
as they were on opposite roads. It
was several days before we heard
from him, and we feared he had been
captured, but lie was not. These
! soldiers told me that they had heard
through my husband of the Yankees
that we here in the morning, and
they were sent to me for information
and directions to go as near their
! camps as possible, and were anxious
i to find out the different fords on the
creek, so as to avoid the bridge. J ust
then Alfred came up, and 1 proposed
to t hem to press him in as a pilot,
which the Yankees had frequently
: done, as he knew all the different
j points, and I knew him to be reliable,
! and they all left together.
Just as I had fallen asleep I heard
someone hollo at the gate. I an
swered them, and they told me they
were two soldiers hurrying out from
the Yankees; that they were not far
behind, and they wanted some direc
tions about the road. I was asleep
again when I heard suddenly a loud,
boisterous rap at the door, and I was
ordered to come out. Said I, “ I can
hot come out, lam alone; but I can
give you any information that you
may ‘want, that is in my power.
They then enquired of me how many
soldiers I had seen that day, and I
told them I supposed about 20. I an
swered all of their questions to the
I>est of my ability, and when they
, were through, I said: “ Now, gentle
men, I would like to a-k a few ques
tions : What command do you be
long to, and in what direction are
you going?” They told me they be
longed to Gen. ‘Hill’s command.
They endeavored to make me believe
, they were Confederates, but I knew
full*well they were Yankees, and I
listened and‘found they were going
westward, right in the direction our
soldiers had all gone.
The third time I was sleeping, when
I was awakened about 12 o’clock by a
dull, slow, regular tramp, and 1 knew
in a moment an army was passing.
The children all awoke, and I could
scarcely quiet them.
“ Listen, mamma, at the soldiers;
don’t you hear them?” and then they
would plead for a light. “ Mamma,
it is dark, I want to get up,” but 1
dared not have a light; yet it was
awful, the darkness and suspense of
that terrible night. For three long]
hours they were passing. I vainly
hoped it was a forced march, and
tl\ey could not stop, but suddenly I
heard a yell and a voice hollo out,
“There, by G —d! my horse has j
broken his neck.” I knew now that
if they were compelled to stop, they
would come in to pillage and plun
der ; and at this time of night, too. j
I told the children they must be |
perfectly quiet, and Charley and ray
nurse I cautioned not to stir or open
the door at all. Boon they began to !
come in. They came to the door and !
ordered it opened, but for a long
while l would not answer them. At
last they threatened to break down the ,
door. 1 finally told them to let the
door alone, that I would not open it,
that they had no right to come in;
but they actually did burst tiie door 1
open and come in. The woman j
sleeping on the floor then began to ,
hollo out, “You are walking on mv
head.”
()ne of them asked who she was.
“Only a black girl,” said she.
“ llow large are you,” asked one of
them.
1 was amused at her reply, “Only
a little one.”
They then began to call loudly for !
lights, and I really preferred a light >
then, so 1 asked, “ Have any of you
a match?” They said they had. j
“Well,” said I, “ light one and you !
will find a candle on the bureau;” |
and 1 then directed them to a box of i
candles. Boon they all had lights, j
anil there was the room filled with j
these ruffians. They then began to \
plunder, and search in every direc- j
tion. They seemed to be looking for ;
money and something to eat at the i
same time. I finally arose, took my j
baby in my arms, and lighting a can-!
die myself, I followed them into the j
(lining room. They had found a j
door or drawer that would not yield
to them. They tried every way to
open it, and 1 made a feint at trying
to assist them. It contained the only
ham I had seen for months. My
husband’s mother had brought it to
him the day before, and he had been
compelled to leave so abruptly that j
he could not take it with him. The J
Yankees did not get it though, for j
they seemed to be in a hurry. They ]
reached another door, and found it j
locked, and called loudly for the
keys ; and, fearing they would break !
the door down as they had the other j
one, or destroy the key, 1 carried it |
myself, and unlocked the door for!
them, and I accidentally discovered
they were shading their lights to keep
from being seen in the road. I then
walked on into the room, and threw
the front door wide open, when one
of them walked just up behind me
and closed it. I came on then quick
ly into the passage, walked on out in
to the entry, and called loudly to
know if there were any officers ’ out
there; if there were to please come in
to my relief, that the house was full
of robbers. Immediately every light
was extinguished, and they all left
more suddenly than they had come
in. By this time I supposed the horse
had recovered from his fall, for they i
were soon all gone.
For the fourth time that night I
tried to sleep, but all in vain, for I
well knew what a wreck would meet
my eyes at daylight. I supposed they
were all gone, and that even the rear
guard was out of hearing, when sud
denly we heard the report of guns, l
thought, one right after another; fast
er and faster they went off, until they
become to be almost deafening.
Now, thought I, the rebels have fall
en in behind them, and they are hav
ing a regular fight; but Ben soon
came in to tell me it was only some
cartridges that Alfred had concealed
in an old house on the road-side just
below us, and the Yankees had from
mere wickedness set fire to the house
as they passed, and as it burnt down
the cartridges began to burn. The
servants went out and prevented the
lire from doing any other damage,
and the old house was really of but
little service any way.
Charlie went out as soon as it was
light enough to see well, and came
back to tell me that they had carried
off “ old Cripple;” but they found her
not far off, grazing on the road-side.
They had found she could not travel,
and had turned her loose, and we
were really glad to have her again.
We discovered that the fences were
all on fire for a mile each way; so the
servants had to go in both directions
to extinguish it. We found that
they had not done so much mischief
after all, although coming at night
had made it seem more awful; but
now that the blessed sunshine had
come again, it really seemed more
like a terrible dream than a reality.
One day, during the summer, a great
tall, gaiint-looking fellow came stalk
ing into my room, where I was sit
ting all alone, and walking straight
up to me said:
“ I want you to cook me some bis
cuit, madam.”
I was perfectly indignant; so I an
swered :
“ I never cooked a biscuit in my
life, sir, and the first one I cook will
not be for a Yankee soldier.”
“ Well,” said he, “ that woman in
the kitchen says she would cook me
some, but you will curse her for it
when T am gone.”
“ Well, sir,” said I, “ I do not be
lieve you, but I will go and ask her.”
“ Oh,” said he, “ you need not, for
she said so.”
I arose and walked to the door.
Said I, “ Harriett, did you tell this
man I would curse you if you cooked
him some biscuit ?”
“ Why,” said she, “you know I
could never have told him such a
thing, and he tells a story, too.”
lie began to try to get out of it,
when the soldiers began to laugh at
him, and he was glad to slip out.
lie came back early the next mor
ning just as Ben and Alfred brought
in a barrel of flour that they had en
deavored to hide and could not. He
came up to the barrel and swore he
would open it. I declared he should
not, and I finally took my seat ou the
barrel, and there we quarrelled until
two young looking soldiers came up,
and I asked them to carry the barrel
in the house for me, which they did
and assured me that they would re
port him at head quarters for his mis
! conduct. The next day I missed him,
and enquired for him, and they told
me that sure enough he had been re
ported and sentenced to dig stumps
! all day.
Not far from us lies our little Eu
harlee village, and there lives a good
Presbyterian minister, Mr. Johnson.
Gen. Sherman,\vhen he reached there,
j took possession of the beautiful and

elegant residence of Judge Thomas
Tundin—although his wife and chil
dren were still there.
One day Gen. Sherman sent a guard
to conduct the minister to him. He
went and was met by an officer, and
carried in. Ho~had‘determined, he
, said, to remain as quiet as possible,
and not to speuk'onlv when spoken to,
I and merely to answer them whatever
! question- they rnight”ask him. He
was asked several questions and had
| answered them promptly, and still
• waited, when < Jen. Sherman evident
ly paused as if hesitating whether to
proceed farther or not.
Said Mr. Johnson: “Are you
through with me, Gen.*.’’
“ No,” said he, “ whom do you
.sympathize with, sir, our army or the
rebel one.” Looking straightforward
at him, he answered like the same
good man that he is, “ General, I was
born and raised in the South, and
every feeling of my heart is with our
army, and,”, continued he, “if I
should tell you otherwise you would
not, could not Delieve me.
“ Ye.-,’’-said he, “ 1 believe you are
right. lam through with you. Gen
tlemen, you can dismiss him.”
IMTUONDIUS SO. 2.
After reading the article, “ Errors
of the press,” and your private expla
nation of the mysterious evaporation
of article No. 11 of the Series, I send
you duplicate copy, somewhat modi
fied, and as I trust, with improved j
cldrography. Would it not be well
for you, Messrs. Editors, to give your
correspondents a little manual, for j
preparing an article for the press? 1 !
mean the mechanical execution.
Some of us have read English Compo
sition, and studied prosody, but have !
no practical experience in the great;
art of printing and the requirements
of its arbitrary rules. We think it vi
olates a rule of economy by restrict
ing us to one side of our paper, when
both are ruled, and too far assunder
as we think. Law however, is said to :
be founded in reason and equity, and
it might justly be added, in common
sense.
To continue the inquiry relative to
names, I repeat what was said in No.
i, that to account for the origin aud
primitive meaning of Surnames, is an
exceedingly difficult task, inasmuch
as we have no due, that is satisfactory
in all cases.
Mr. Webster tells us, in his una- |
bridged dictionary, that he has been j
unable, in numerous words, to find
their origin, or radix.
The subject of names is far more !
difficult to (levelope than that of phi
lology, for the reason that philology ■
has had for centuries, in every age,
master intellects engaged in its devel
opment, while patronimics have been
ignored almost entirely.
Coming down the stream of time,
the next great race that appears in
history, after the Romans, is the early
Germans. Among them, like every
other people, the same law prevails, |
but one name to distinguish individu- i
als. Hence, Arminius, Arioristus,
and similar renowned heroes had no
surname. Notwithstanding these ]
Germans came in contact with the j
Romans, who, as we have seen had j
surnames, yet liberty and civilization
amongst the Romans had so far de
clined th at their successors never adop
ted the nomenclature once so pecu
liarly Roman. After the introduc
tion of Christianity, Pagan names
were discussed, and Scripture names
adopted. We read, that when the
Duke of Lithuania became a Christian
he pursuaded Ills subjects to follow
his example, and they were divided
into companies, and in baptizing
them, all of the first division of the
men were called Peter, and all the
women Catherine, and all of the sec
ond company Pauls and Margarets—
respectfully.
As Christianity had elevated, refin
fined and civilized the nations of Eu
rope, we see its hallowed influence
even in the names then given.
Alfred, means “all peace;” Bede,
the praying one; Cuthbert, bright in
knowledge; Edmund, truth mouth;
Edward, truth keeper; (faithful;)
Richard, richly honored. The name
William , we learn, was not a baptis
mal name, but a name of honor be
stowed upon the soldier who had kill
ed a Roman Knight in war. The
golden helmet of the Roman was j
placed on his head, and he was called
GUdhelm, or golden helmet. Then
the French Guillaume, Latin Guliel
mus, English William.
As little as we may think of it, the
character of an age is reflected by its
names, when the signification of the
names are fully understood.
For instance, let us notice a few
names omong the Puritans of the Six
teenth Century. Antiqurians have
exhumed the following list of a jury
of Sussex, enipannelled A. D. 1560:
Make-peace Heathen, Earth Adams,
Kill-Bin Pimple, Stand-fast-on-high
Stringer, Called Lower, Fight-the
good-light of Faith White, Fly-de
bate-Roberts, Safty-on High Snat,
Search the Scriptures Moretoii, Much-
Mercy Cryer.
As before remarked, the introduc
tion of Surnames indicates the period
of transition from savage, barbarous,
or half civilized, to civilization and
enlightenment. As this transition of
a people is never sudden, but gradual
through a series of years, the necessi
ty for patronimics would be felt gradu
ally. So long as the people were kept
in a state of serfdom, there was no ne
cessity for second names. But as soon
as they acquired the right of holding
property, devising and inheriting it
by will, and appearing in legal rela
tions, it would be necessary to have
some mode of distinguishing between
several men of the same name.
Among different nations, different ex
pedients were adopted, a few of each
will now be given.
Atthelfrith, king of Northumber
land named his children Ostaf, Ostate,
Oswald, Qswin, Osbald, Ac. Os mean
ing son. The descendants of Alfred
the Great of England, were called by
names all having the initial syllable
ed, as Edward, Edwin, Edmund, Ed
recl, Edwig, Edgyth, Ac. Again, the
final syllable, ing was used, meaning
j off-spring. Thus Edgar Edmunding,
was Edgar the son of Edmund. In
! this way such names as Browning,
| Whiting and Bearing are derived.
Patronimics, or names derived from
| parentage, would be the most natural.
Thus the Hiiander prefix Mac, and
| the sons of Donald and Arthur, be
came Macdonal and Macarty: Whilst
the Irish O or Oy meaning grandson,
O’Hard and O’Neale, means the
grandson of Hard and Neale. There
names are so familiar and peculiar as
to tell the stock or country from which
their bearers are defended.
“ By Mac and O, ye will always
know,
True Irishman, they say ;
For if they lack both O and Mac,
No Irishman are they.”
Then the old Normans had Fitz
(filus, a son); whilst the Russians
the suffix witz, thus Peter Paulowitz,
is Peter the son of Paul. The Poles
use sky, and we have James Petron
sky, is James, son of Peter. Then
comes the Walsh, who employed up,
(son), as David ap Howell, which be
came David Howell.
I close this No. by giving a story of \
an Englishman who, one night, while !
riding through the mountains, heard
cries lor help proceeding from an adja
cent ravine, and on calling out, 1
“who are you,” received the reply,
Jenkins, ap Griffith, ap Robison, ap
William, ap Rees, ap Eron. “ Lazy
fellows that ye be; why in the name
of common sense don’t ye help one
another out, rolling in that hole, half
dozen of ye?” After thus replying
he rode away quite indignant, leaving
the poor fellow with the multitudi
nous name, to get out as the best they 1
could. Dagger. ‘ |
