What should a man desire to leave?
A flawless work ; a noble life:
Some music harmonized from strife,
Some finish’d thing, ere the slack hands at eve
Drop, should he his leuve. ,
< >ne gem of song, defying age;
A hard-won fight; a well-worked farm;
A law, no guile can twist to hann ;
Some tale, as our lo«t Thackeray’s bright, or sage
As the just ilallam's page.
Or, in life's homeliest, meanest spot,
To strike the circle of his years
A perfect curve through joys and team,
Leaving a pure name to lie known, or not, —
This is a true man’s lot.
He dies: lie leaves the deed or name,
A gift for ever to his land,
in trust to Friendship's guardian hand,
Bound’gainst all adverse shocks to keuphii lame.
Or to the world proclaim.
But the imperfect tiling, or thought,—
The fervid yeastiness of youth,
The dubious doubt, the tw Right truth,
I lie work that for lire passing day was wrought,
Tire schemes that came to nought.
The sketch half-way 'twixt verse and pros#
That mocks the finish’d picture true,
The splinters whence the statue grew.
The aii'oldmg neath \vhicD4he palace rose,
The vague abortive throes.
And crudities of joy or gloom :
In kind oblivion let them lie!
Nor lues the dead worse foe tlmu ha
Who rakes these sweepings of the artist’s room.
And piles them on his tomb.
Ah, ’tis but little that the best,
Frail children of a fleeting hour,
L'uu leave of perfect fruit or flower!
All, let all else be graciously supprest
Wheu man lies down to rest!

AN IRISH ILIAD.
THK STORY OK SALLY CAVANAGH.
It is singular enough that so soon sifter the
appearance of that wonderful little book
‘• The Realities of Irish Life,” the humor
innl pathos of which have afforded so much
enjoyment, wholly apart from its political
nu auing, there should come out n volume of
quite similar character, written from a stand
point. i.f Irish politics directly opposite to
that of Mr. french. ‘‘Sally (Javauagh, or
the 1 ntenated Graves,” is the title of a tale
• i I ij pi rar e by Charles K. Kicklmm, who is
an Irish patriot. Mr. Trench told us stories
"I real life that seemed like fiefcfon. Mr.
Kickham relates a fictitious narrative which
lias inamii ntly real life for its basis, ilis ob
ject is to excite the reader against the tenant
system by showing how Sally (Javauagh was
persecuted unto death by a grasping landlord,
one (iriudem. Hut having made the reader
acquainted with the wicked squire and the
victims of his cruel avarice, Mr. Kickham
apparently loses sight of his purpose, and
branches off into every variety of anecdote
and sketch, all clever and delightful. The
main story, however, of Stilly Cavanagh her
self, is like a (ireek tragedy, deepening in
horror to the close. Nothing in (Jurletun’s
“ Traits and stories of the Irish Peasantry ”
is tiner than the following incident. A num
ber of emigrants are about departing for
America, among whom is Connor Shea, the
husband of Sully Cavanagh, and Brian Pur
cell, a youugiiarmer, godfather to one of
Sally's children, has come to bid them hire
well. He is looking tit the poor emigrants
as they pass along the highway in the moon
light :
Iteiv Brian noticed for the first time a lit
tle liny who quite in a manly way was help
ing tn “ tackle ” the ass, anil who had just
inquired of the boy who was driving, “ how
many links he was to hang in the draught?”
Brian could not help smiling at the figure
the little fellow cut. His outer garment was
:i man's waistcoat which reached to the calves
of his sturdy little legs. A huge felt hat hung
crosswise on his poll, and seemed every mo
ment to threaten to fall down over his face
and extinguish him. He held a formidable
“ blackthorn " under his arm. which, having
completed the “ tackling ” process, lie was
about applying to the donkey’s back to make
him pull out of the way for the carriage to
pass, when Brian laid hold of him by the
shoulders.
“ Neddy,” said he, in astonishment, “what
on earth brought you here?”
“ (Join* to America, sir,” replied the hoy,
half frightened, but resolute.
“ But Ned, my man, what will your poor
mother do?”
The boy’s lip trembled as he replied:
“ Hasn’t she Nora, an’ Tom. an’ Corney an’
Willie? ”
“ But you’re the biggest, Ned.”
“ I'll go to America wid my daddy,” ex
claimed the hoy, retreating backwards, as if
ho feared that Brian thought of compelling
lorn to return by force. Brian understood
the whole ease at once. Here was Connor
!-■ lira's eldest son, after stealing away from
his mother, resolved to follow the father
that loved him and was so proud of him,and
away from whom the boy thought he could
not live even fora month. The waistcoat
and the hat and the formidable blackthorn
illustrated poor Neddy’s notions of equipment
im a voyage across the Atlantic. After a
moment s reflection Brian put his finger to
hri lips .md whistled. In an instant another
vhistle ius loud and piercing replied from
the upper end of the “gap.” Brian whistled
a second time, and many minutes did not
»lapse when Connor Shea was seen hurning
down the hill.
“ \\ hat's the matter? ” he asked in some
anxiety.
Brian pointed to the little hoy, who stood
bolt upright before him. The father’s heart
swelled as he looked at him, and turning
awayiiishead he dashed the tearsre)>etutodly
from his eyes before he was able to speak.
“ Now, Neddy, said he, “ like a good fel
low, go back with Mr. Purcell. Wouldn’t
you rather stay at home and mind the rest
of cm for me till lin sendin’ for the whole
of ye together—when I’ll have the grand
new house built an’ ready an’ all for ve?”
The boy looked at him in silence for a mo
ment, his face swollen {with of
his emotion. Ho then rushed to his father,
and locking his anus round his knees uttered
a shriek -so shrill, so piercing, so fraught
with the agony of the voting creature’s heart,
that both Brian and his father stood for a
moment jietrified, not knowing what to do.
The boy clung convulsively to his father’s
legs. The lady in the carriage forgot theim
passiveness upon which she had prided her
self, and alighted and stood by Brian Pur
cell's side.
“ What am I to do? ” said Connor Shea.
“Bring him with you,” replied Brian,
“and I’ll send over and let his mother know
what has happened the moment I reach
home.”
“ Come, Neddy,” said Connor, “ 111 take
Mr. Purcell’s advice and let you come with
me. ”
The boy let go his hold and stood by his
side, sobbing tremulously, but making great
efforts to suppress his emotion.
“Do you know me?” inquired the lady,
stooping low and speaking into his ear.
4 4 No, mam. ”
“Do you know that Mr. Purcell is your
god-father?”
“I do, mam.”
“ And did you never hear who was your
god-mother?”
“ No, mflm,” said the lniy, taking courage
to look into her face.
The lady remained lost in thought for
awhile. “Poor Sally,” she said half aloud,
“ she never could forgive me.”
Wheu Sally Cavanagh lived with her fath
er, she was a near neighlior and a great fa
vorite of this voting lady’s family. And the
admiration of tlio warm-hearted jieasant girl
was divided between her and Brian Purcell,
who, in hi r mind, was the flower, the ne
plus ultra of creation. She got them to
“stand” for her first child. But when she
discovered that Miss Evans’ extraordinary
beauty, together with a fortunate windfall
in the shape of a legacy, hail lifted her quite
above the sphere of her young lover, and
that, in fact, to speak mildly, she had given
him up. the unsophisticated heart of Sally
Cavanagh revolted against the whole pro
c aiding. It was so opposed to all her pre
conceived notions and to her very nature
that the tickle beauty’s name—which be
fore was the theme of her praises morning,
noon aud night—was never heard to pass
her lips. Which slfbws how wofully in the
rough pi Kir Sully Cavanagh was, and how
sadly ignorant of the world and its ways.”
Connor goes to America, but does not
prosper there, and is wholly unable to afford
any relief to Sally, who is left quite defence
less and at the mercy of Grindem. She
makes a hard fight against the workhouse
for herself and children, but is finally com
pelled to enter that dreaded itliode, and is
immediately attacked by brain fever, in the
treatment of which she is forcibly separated
from her darlings. In convalescence, she
pleads to be permitted once more to caress
them, hut the officers are deaf to her entrea
ties. The promise is, indeed, given that
they shall bo brought to her, but it is never
kept.
When to-morrow, aud to-morrow, and a
week passed, and they were still putting her
nff, a terrible dread took possession of her.
The doctor seeing this, whispered to the
nurse that if she did not rest better that
night, the truth should lie broken to her.
But having heard that the children in the
workhouse w ere all marched out daily at u
certain hour for air and exercise, Hally Cav
anagh stole from the fever hospital, and hid
herself in a clump of evergreens by which
the children were to pass. Hhe crouched
down u|hin her knees aud elbows, watching
aud listening intently. They are coming!
They pass within a few feet of the ever
greens! Her very breathing is suspended.
Not a face in that long line of pauper boys
escapes her scrutiny. But Corney is uot
there, uor Tommy, nor Nickey. Bally Cav
anagh feels an almost irrepressible impulse
to scream aloud; but by a strong effort she
resists it, and it passes away in a shudder.
She rests her forehead—it is burning—upon
the damp clay under the evergreens, and re
mains motionless, she knows not how long.
She is roused by the plodding tread of the
pauper boys on their return. She watches
them again, but now not anxiously, but with
a dull unconscious gaze.
Again she is roused. A piercing light
burns in her chirk eyes, and her nostrils
quiver. The pauper girls are coming now.
She raises herself upon her hands as if she
were about to spring forward. It is—it is
poor Norah’s yellow hair! Hhe does spring
forward. She siezed the child by flic shoul
ders, and, holding her at arm’s length, stares
into a face that never wore a smile; no,
never—since the day she was born. But it
is not poor Noruli, and Sally Cavanagh ap
pears turned into stone as the procession of
pauper girls moves past.
But is it not a sight to make one shudder?
Is there not something horrible in the bare
idea of many hundreds of children’s faces
without one smile among them? Yet we as
rure the reader we have seen this unnatural
sight.
Another thought smote upon the heart of
Sally Cavanagh, and she was roused again.
Hhe sees two men placing coffins upon a
cur. T here is a child’s eolliu among them;
and as the men stoop to lift it from the
ground they are pushed violently aside.
Site tears oil the lid, and tho bright rays of
the setting sun fall upon the ghastly corpse.
But it is not her child. The priest, who
was coming from the hospital, approached
and spoke soothingly to the poor distracted
mother.
“Where are they?” she asked.
“In Heaven—with tho saints in Heaven,”
replied the priest.
“Noruh- anil Corney—and Tommy and
Nickey?—and the youngest little boy?—are
they till dead?”
“Yes; they’re all dead—”
“And buried?”—-she added with a bewild
ered look.
“And buried—and gone to a better world,”
said the priest.
She looked distractedly about her, till her
eyes rested on a blue mountain, ten miles
away. She bent a long piercing gaze upon
the mountain. And then uttering a wild
shriek that rung through every corner of
the “palace of poverty,” and made tho good
priest turn pale, the broken-hearted woman
rushed through tho gate—her hands stretch
ed out towards the mountain.
Sully Cavanagh was a maniac.
The demented mother now wanders up
and down the neighborhood, returning al
ways at night to an old burying-ground,
where side by side she has raised five little
mounds, the “uutonunted graves.” In her
disturbed imagination she fancies her child
ren are there, and that under the tender
starlight the youngest comes down and nes
tles in her bosom. Meanwhile the husband
returns from America, and is taken by his
constant friend, Brian Purcell, to the bury
ing ground. Connor Shea stands a little
apart, concealed by a wall, whilo Brian goes
up to Sally, who laws promised to tell him
on this occasion a secret.
“Well, every night when the stars do be
shinin’ but you won’t tell, or they might
take him from me?”
“No Sallie, I will not tell.”
She placed her hand upon his shoulder,
and with her month close to his ear, while a
childlike smile lighted up her face, whisp
ered: “He comes down when the stars do be
shinin', and I have him in my arms all tne
night. ”
“Who, Sally? Who comes down?”
“All, you wouldn’t guess! Well, I’ll tell
you, the youngest of till—poor Willie with
the blue eyes. An’ I have him here all night
- here,” she repeated, pressing both her
hands against her bosom.
Brian was almost affected to tears.
“Here is Noruh outside,” said she, kneel
ing down aud laying her hand on one of the
mounds.
“An’ sure you'd aisy know Corney, for he
was nearly as tall its Norah. An’ any one’d
know the little one entirely. But who on’y
myself could guess these two?” She looked
up at Brian as if expecting a reply. “No,”
she continued, “you’d never be able to guess;
but I'll tell you. This is Tom—the little fat
bruekish; and this is Niekev. But will no
body tell me where is Neddy, poor Connor’s
own brave liov?”
At this moment the wicked landlord,
Grindem, appears on the scene, with live
constables, and a man with a shovel and
spudt whom he has brought to level tho “un
tenanted- graves,” at the same time that the
constables are to arrest Sally. The poor lu
natic t'ocblv resists the arrest, and clutches
at the bridle rein of Grindem’s horse. The
wretch cuts licy across the face with his
horsewhip, and just at the instant that Con
nor Shea is about to send a buffet through
his brain, the horse real's up and throws
Grindem. breaking his neck against the wall,
Connor then rushes to liis Wife’s rescue.
“Oh, save me—save me!” she cried, iu an
imploring voice.
•'lll save you; yes, I'll save you. But oli!
Sidly. don’t you know me?”
“He comes down every night when the
stars do be shinin’,” she whispered, ‘‘and
now they want to take me awav.”
“Oli! Sally, look up--look up and say you
know me, he sobbed. And as he raised her
face from his bosom, he kissed her wan
cheek passionately.
“Ihev re dead.” she murmerod, “nil dead.
I’iteor Norah. an Corney, an’ Tomniv, an’
Nickey. and little Willie with the blue' eyes
—an’ all.”
"But don’t you remember me, Sallv—your
own hnsnand? Tliry, Sally and remember
ould times?”
But there was no meaning in her smile.
“My God! my God!” cried the distracted
man, “what did I ever do to deserve this?
Sure I was mad a while ago, when I thought
to take liis life. O Heavenlv Father! restore
her smses, an’ a thought of revenge I’ll nev
er let enther my heart again! Holy Mary,
Mother of God, intercede fur her,” he ex
claimed aloud in a voice of the most intense
entreaty.
“Look at me again, Sally—-4 gradh geal
mocroitiheJ" : *
He felt her start slightly, and hold his
cheek cl vse to hers, repeated the words—“A
gradh geal mo croulhe. ”
She raised her hand, and bent her head
in a listening attitude, like one trying to
catch some distant sound. Again he mur
mured the words into her ear. “My own
poor Sally —A gradh geal mo croidhe.”
She covered her face with her hands and
sobbed.
“If we were all together,” she murmured,
“what harm if we were all together?"
He remembered these were the very words
she nsed when he bade “God lie with her,”
the night of his departure for America.
Looking upon them as an indication of re
turning reason, he knelt down and exclaimed
fervently, “my God, I thank you for vour
mercy." Aad taking the revolver from his
breast again, he filing it on the ground.
“Come, Sally, said he, “let us go.”
To his surprise and delight, instead of re
sisting as he expected she would, she gave
him her hand, and allowed him to lead her
like a child over the broken wall at the op
posite side of the old ruin, and up towards
the angle of the wood, where he stopped the
night he parted from her to hike a lout look
at his home.
A day or two afterwards Sally dies, and
this brings this Irish Iliad to'its sombre
close.
Asa relief to the deep melancholy of this
tale of Tipperary, divested of the' mirthful
episodes which light it up in Mr. Kickham’s
pages, we give a specimen of the author’s
humor, iu the capital story of Shawn (low’s
quarrel with his wife about a blackbird. One
Titn Croak, a droll fellow, speaks:
“’Twas this day seven years, for all the
world, the year of the hard frast. Shawn
Gow set a crib in his haggert the evenin'
afore ; and when he went out in the morn
in’ he had a hen blackbird. He put the
goulogue on her nick, an’ tuck her in his
1 ran l l; an’ wud one smulluek av his finger
knocked the life out av her; he walked in
an’ threw the blackbird on the table.”
“‘O Shawn,’ siz Nancy, ‘you’re after
catching a fine thrish.’ Nancy took the
bird in her hand an’ began rubbin’ the feath
ers on her breast. ‘A fine thrish,’ siz Nancy.
“’Tisn’t a thrish, but a blackbird,” siz
Shawn.
“Wislia, introtli, Shawn.” siz Nancy, “,tis
a thrish; do you want to take the sight o’
my eyes from me?”
“I tell you ’tis a blackbird,” siz he.
“Indeed then it isn’t, hut a thrish,” siz
she.
“Any way one word borrowed another;
and the end av it was, Shawn flailed at her
an’ gov her the father av a batin’.
“The Christmas day after, Nancy opened
the dour an’ looked out.
“God be wid this day twelve mouths,” siz
she, “do you rimimber the fine thrish you
caught in the crib?”
“’Twas a blackbird,” siz Shawn.
“Whist now Shawn, 'twas thrish.” siz Nancy.
“I tell you again, ’twas a blackbird,” siz
Shawn.
“Och,” siz Nancy, beginnin’ to laugh,
“that was the quare blackbird.” Wud that,
one word borrowed another, and Shawn
stood up and gev her the father av a batin’.
The third Christmas day kem, and they war
in the best o’ good humor after the tay, and
Shawn puttin’ on his ridin’ coat to go to
Mass. “Well, Shawn,” siz Nancy, “I’m
thinkin’ av what an unhappy Christmas
morniu’ we had this day twelve months, all
on account of that thrish you caught in the
crib, bad cess to her. ”
“’Twas a blackbird,” siz Shawn.
“Wislia good luck to you, an’ don’t be
talkin’ foolish,” siz Nancy; “an’ you’re bet
ther not get into a passion agin, account of
an mild thrish. My heavy curse on the same
thrish,” siz Nancy.
“I tell you ’twas a blackbird,” siz Shawn.
“An’ I tell you ’twas a thrish,” siz Nancy.
Wud that, Shawn took down a buunaun
he hail seasonin’ in the ehimley and whaled
atjN ancy, and gev her the father av a batin’.
An’ every Christmas morning from that
day to this ’twas the same story, for as sure
as the sun Nancy’ll draw down the thrish.

DISSOLVED BONES.
11IIE SUPPLY OF PERUVIAN GUANO having
become exhausted, it is necessary for the
planting community to look for a substitute for
this article, so efficacious in promoting anil sus
taining the growth of cotton. The combination
of Peruvian Guano anJ Dissolved Bones has been
fouud to be the safest and best of all the many ar
ticles offered, and we are conlideut that in au or
dinary season, to use the language of Mr. David
Dickerson, can never fail. Iu presenting our AM
MONIATED to the planter, we but give the com
bination iu a form ready for immediate use, thus
saviug the cost and trouble of manipulation and
securing uniformity in quality.
The practical results obtained from the articles
shipped by us, prove them to be superior to all
others, and in a trade extending through every
portiou of the cotton growing regious, and, duriug
the past live years, consuming thousands of tous,
we are yet to hear of the first complaint.
In our manufacture we discard all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely upon
PUREBOisTE.
made readily soluble by the use of Sulphuric Acid.
The Ammonia is supplied from the next valuable
source to Peruvian Guano, and iu sufficient quan
tities to give the plant a vigorous and healthy
growth, the soluble bone sustaining it throughout
the tcu&on.
We have no hesitation in placing this article
against any manufacture or combination known,
and will refund every dollar spent in its purchase
in case it does not give satisfaction
For the character aud purity of the a-ticlesi ip
ped by us wc refer to the prominent names ap
oended, they being a few of those who obtain their
suTjjplies from us.

Ayers Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be uie most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is w anted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to he found of the following
complaints:
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS CllM PLAINTS,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulceus,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rueum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Deiiility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose
or Sr. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole
class of conipluints arising from Impurity of
the Blood w
This compound will he found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel ‘the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
nre nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
hloiul healthy, and all is well; hut with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can he no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends.'- But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone lias not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, hut more because many preparations,
pretending to he concentrated extracts of it,
contain hut little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public nave been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, hut often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, hitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until Ore
name itself is justly despised, and has
synonymous with imposition und cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.
