Hail Down the Flac.
Haul down the flag Erin'sqwride,
The banner ever green;
Forget the Ocean's peerless bridge-,
Your mother-land-spalpeen.
St, Patrick’s name, and day forget.
The shamrock throw aside;
Praise Royal Hal, and Bill, and Bet,
By you so long decried.
Forget your martyred kindred too,
Your Irish nature quell,
Your love of liberty subdue:
Or else you'll go to—well
The Saxon prompts; the Soggarth speaks
Thus, at the Sass’nagh's rod
Ye.s, th us-and that for Gludstouc-speaks,
Ev'n in the house of God,
And Pat, while hesitating what to say,
Just weispers, “Father don't you wish we
may ?”
A PREVIOUS ENuAGEMfcNL
The dismal December night was clos
ing, with starless gloom, over the spirt s
and chimney tops of the city—the blind
ing mist of snow flakes was wreathing
its White pall over all, and the wind,
murmuring sadly through the streets,
seemed to have an almost human wail in
its moan.
‘‘lt’s an ugly kind of a night," mut
tered Mr. Terryn to himself, as he buck
led his fur closer round his neck. “And
a wind fit to cut one in two. Ilailoo!
what’s this!”
He had very nearly stumbled over
something that looked like a bundle,
crouching at the foot of a flight of Steps
in the shad )W ofa ruinous old brick arch
way; but. as he checked himself abrupt
ly, the bundle erected itself into .-some
thing human in shape and looked at him
with wild, human eyes.
“Who are you ?” he demanded, on
the impulse of the moment.
“Only me. sir—little Tcss."
“Please give me a penny, sir ?” cried
the child, suddenly subsiding into the
regular professional whine of her trade.
“Only a penny."
“VVhero do you live?"
“I don’t live nowhere, sir—l just
skulks round in the alleys.”
“Oh, ytu do, eh ? and who takes care
of you?"
“Old Tim Daley used to, but lie’s took
U P”
“Took up ?"
“Sent to tne Island, sir."
“Are you a boy ? ora girl?"
(For the ereatuae’s tangled locks and
ragged garb crave no elue to its *'* v )
“I’m a girl, sir.”
“You ought to be ashamed of your
sslf, bogging in the street,’ said Mr.
Terryn. severely. “Why don't you
work ?”
As he appioached his own door a
bright child s face peeped out between
the curtains, and as Mr. Terryn entered
the cherry sitting room, he could not but
think with a remorseless pang of the
shivering bundle of rags under the brick
archway beyond.
“It's none of my business”, he
thought, “I dare say the police will pick
the poor little elf up, and take her where
she 11 better off.”
But Mr. Terryn’s conscience was less
adamantine than he had given it credit
for being. It pricked him sorely as he
sat toasting h'i3 slippered feet before the
the bright embers—it whispered to him
as he listened to the lullaby wherewith
his wife was lulling the babe to sleep
upon hei breast. Hud little Toss ever
known a motner’s eradle seng? And
she could scarcely have been six years
old. 'other.
“Where are you going, my dear ?”
questioned his wife, as he rose up sud
and nly.
“Out into the street. There was a
child—a child there—a little girl,
crouching on some steps —”
“A child ? Homeless ? And such a
night as this? Oh, Herbert, you
shouid have brought her here ?”
Five minutes afterwards Mr. Terryn
was out in the driving whirlwinds of
snow bending over the small stray who
was bundled up just where he left her.
“ Here—child—where are you?”
But there was no. answer. Little
Tess was benumbed and stupefied by the
cold.
lie lifted her up, a poor little skele
" 1 rgnt'm
his arms, and carried her home. Mrs.
Terryn met him at the door.
“ Oh, Herbert, what a poor little
starved wretch! Her hands are like bird’s
claws!”
Charley looked on in breathless inter
est at the process of feeding, warming
and restoring some vitality to the torpid
object.
When little Tess opened her eyes, it
was to the glow of a warm fire and the
mellow sparkle of gas-lights.
“ Am I dead ?” cried the child, ‘-and
is this Heaven ?'*
“ Poor little creature,” said Mrs. Ter
ryn, bursting into tears.
“ Tesora,” her name proved to be an
Italian synonym f r the w< rd, “treasure,
and a treasure she was. in gentle Mrs.
Terryn s eyes especially after her little
babe was dead and buried.
* * * * * *
“ How Tesora grows!” said Mr. fer
ryn suddenly, on one day as the beauti
! ful girl game in. rosy and smiling, Ircm
a walk “ Why, she is as tall as a grown
woman!”
“ She is a grown woman.” said Mrs.
Terryn. with a smile.
“ How old is she !
“Sixteen, day before yesterday.”
“Is it possible?” said Mrs Terryn.
thoughtfully. “ How time slips away !
Tesora now sixteen ! YV by, then, C bar
ley must be twenty!”
aSTumber 34.
“It is true, my dear,” said Ills wife
i “We are getting to be old people, now ?
“I wonder what will become of Teso
ra.” said Mr. Tcrryn. musingly. “She
wou’d make a capital governess, her ed
ucation hus been so thorough, or—”
“Father,” said Charles Terryn, reso
lutely, as he walked up in frout of his
father and stood with folded arms. “I
can tell you what will become of Tesora ?
She is to be my wile?”
“Charley.” said his mother, when the
angry lather had jerked himself osft of
th e room, “do’nt waste your breath in
arguing with your father. Arguments
never conquered yet, in such a case as
thi3.”
“But what am I to do ?”
“Have you spoken to Tess, yet?”
-,‘Xo”
“Wait then—let matters rest, I will
manage i>.”
So Mrs. Tcrryn gave little dinner par
ties and select soirees, and “brought
out” Tesora] according to the regular
programme. She made a sensation.
Mrs Terryn had known that she would.
Tesora was a belle—a queen of fashion.
Suitors congregated around her.
“W* H,” said Mr. Terryn one night—
he was getting woudrously proud of his
alnpted daughter’s success in the world
of societ}* —“are you going out to-night,
Tess ?”
“Yes, papa.”
“With whom V*
“Colonel Randolph/*
“I thought Charley had taken a box
at the opera for you !”
“I promised Colonel Randoloh first.”
said Tesora, languidly playing with her
tablet. »
“And how about ko-tnorrow night?
I suppose Charley could get his tickets
trausfered.”
“I am sorry, but I am engaged fo* to
morrow night.”
Mr. Terryn rose and walked restlessly
up and down the room, lie Was a man
much guided by the opinion of his fel
low men. Tesora must be a treasure,
else why this competition among the mil
lionaires for her society ?
“Look here, Tess —Charley will be so
disappointed.”
“1 c m’t help it. Let me see”—and
she glanced at her tablets —“Friday is
the only evening l have disengaged.”
“Fiddlesticks!” muttered the old gen
tleman, uneasily. “It seems to me you're
getting to be a great belle, Miss!”
“Am I, papa ?” said Tess, laughing.
“But you see lam your own little girl
still.”
And she gave him a little coaxing kiss.
“My own little girl—yes— but what
will you become when Colonel Randolph
or Day tou L’Lstrunge, or some other of
these scamps takes you away from me?"
Tesora blushed until the rose on her
cheek was like a carnation.
“They will not, papa.”
“Won't they? I’m not altogether so
sure of that.”
But the next afternoon he came home
from his office with a puzzled face.
“They have come, T-ss.”
“What have come ?”
“The offers of marriage-—two of 'cm,
by Jupiter!—Colonel Randolph and Mr.
Duniper! What do you say ,Tcss V
“I—l must think of it, papa.”
“Very gentlemanly, I mustsay —both
well off, substantial fellows, and profess
to be desperately in love w ith my girl.
But. Tess—”
“Well sir.”
“You won’t leave us, dear? Think
how deolate the old house will be with
out you!”
Tesora was silent —her head dropped.
“Father,” said Mrs. Tcrryn, gently,
“let the girl decide for herself. We
have no right to stand between her and
a home and a husband of her own.”
“But she might have a home and a
husband of her own here !’ burst in Mr.
Tcrryn. ‘‘That is-—1 mean-—Charley—’
“1 have refused Charley to-day 1” said
Tesora, calmly.
“Refused Charley! And why?”
“Because I have reason to believe that
his suit was pressed without the appro
val of his father. 0, sir! could you
think, that after all your kindness, I
could steal your son’s duty from you ?
I would rather die !’’
“Spoken like yourself, Tcss,” said
Mrs. Terryn. going to her and kissing
her.
“Tess, do you love him?” eagerly
1 nothing to do witti tne
question, sir,” she answered, reservedly.
‘ But 1 want to know,” he insisted.
“i do love him, sir, then.”
“And you have refused him only bo.
cause 1 didn’t approve ?
“*Yes, sir.”
“But Ido approve, Tess! It would
make me the happiest old father in tbo
world, if I could call you both children,
in real truth.’,
Charles Terryn rose from his seat and
came eagerly forward.
“Tesora—dearest —you hear him!
Once more I ask you to be my wife.
And Tesora bid her face on his shoul
der. weepiug— but Tesora was very hap
py, nevertheless !
“But. my love,” said Mrs. Terryn, soft
ly, “what has brought about such a change
in your sentiments ?’,
“I don’t know,” said the old gentle
man, evasively. “Isay, less, wnat shsll
I tell the Colonel and Mr. Duniper?”
“Tell them, sir," spoke up Charley,
that she has a p-evious engagement ,
And so the mother’s management pre
vailed. and little Toss’s fir=t home was
her last.
Paddy’s description of a fiddle can net
be beat : “It was the shape of a tur
key, and the siae of a, goose, he turned
| t over, and rubbed its belly with
i a stick ; and ock ! St. Patrick ! how it
■ did squeal ?”
