Pale star, if star then be, that art
8f0 fain to shine, though far apart b
From all thy stately peers;
Thou whom the eye can scarce discern-
Oh! who hath set thee there to burn b
Among the spheres t1
Then oom'st too late: the firmament
Is full, and thou wast never meant
For yonder gorgeous steep ;
The night bath counted all her pearls, c,
And pillowed on her casket, furls c
Her wings in sleep.
The night needs not the tardy ray ;
Thou oanst not usher in the day, t
Nor make the twilight fair; a
What sallor turns to thee at seat s
What mourner doth look up to thse e
In his despair!
Meonrnfal or glad., no eye shall chance
To light on thee; no curions glance
Thy motions shall discern ;
No lonely pilgrim pause to catch
Thy parting ray, nor lover watch
For thy return.
Oh I leave the world that loves thee not
For who shall mark the vacant spot ?
Oh I drop into the cloud
That waits to take thee out of sight,
Beyond the glie of yonder bright
And chilly crowd I
" I may notif I would, return
Into the dark. or cease to burn
My spark of light divine :
For He that in my lamp distils
The sacred oil. lie surely wills
That I should shine.
"I fret not at the blaze of spheres,
The distant splendor that endears
The night to men; but strive
Finding strange bliss in perfect calm
To keep with these few drops of balm
My flame alive.
" It may be that some vagrant world,
Or aimless atom, toss d and whlrl'd
Through windy tracts of space,
Perceives by me the Hand that tends
It ever, and the goal that ends
Its tedliou race.
" I know not: methis only care
Concerns, that I for ever bear
My silver lamp on high,
Nor lift to God a laggard flame,
Because on earth I cannot claim
A partial eye."
FRANK FINNEGAN,
THE FOSTER BIROTHER.
Dr WH. CARLETON.
There is scarcely a trait of human nature in
velved in more mystery, or generally lees un
daetood, than the singular strength of affec
tion which binds the humble peasant of Irish
life to his foster-brother, and more especially
if the latter be a person of rank or considera
tion. This anomalous attachment, though it
may be to a certain extent mutual, is never
theless very seldom known to be equal In
strength between the parties. Experience has
sliotently proved to us that whilst i e no
" po"er of its
spirit has always been found to exist in the
person of the humbler parby. How to account
fer this would certainly require a more philo
sephical acquaintance with human nature
than has fallen to our lot; we must therefore
be content to know that the fact is precisely
as we have stated it. Irish history and tradi
tson furnish us with sufficient materials on
which to ground clear and distinct proofs that
the attachment of habit and contiguity in
these instances far transcends that of natural
affection itself. It is very seldom that one
brother will lay down his life for another, and
yet instances of such high and heroic sacrifices
have occurred in the case of the foster brother,
whose affection has thus not unfrequently tri
tciphed over death itself. It is certainly im
possible to impute this wild but indomitable
attachment to the force of domestic feeling,
because, whilst we maintain that the domestic
.alections in Iroland are certainly stronger
than those of any other country in the world,
-still instances of this inexplicable devotion
have occurred in the Iersons of those in whom
tl.o domestic ties were known to be very
coeble. It is true, there are ninny moral ano
omalies in the human heast with which we are
se yet but imperfectly acquainted; and as
they arise from soume wayward and irregular
eombination of its impulses, that operate in
dependently of any known principles of action,
it Is not likely that we shall ever thoroughly
understand them. There is another peculiari
ty in Irish feeling, which, as it is analogous to
thisle, we cannot neglect to mention it: we
allude to the parishern, a term which we must
explain at further length to our readers. When
tUse Dublin Foundling Iospital was in exist
once, the peer infants whom an unhappy des
tiny consigned to that gloomy and withering
inPtitution, were transmitted to different parts
of the country to be nursed by the wives of
the lower classes of the peasantry-snch as
day laborers, cottiers and small farmers, who
cultivated from three to six or eight acres of
land. These children were generally, indeed
almost always, called Parisheens--a word
which could be properly applied to such only
as, having no known parents, were supported
by the parish in which they happened to be
tsorn. It was transferred to the Foundlings,
however, although with the exception of the
muetropolls, which certainly paid a parish tax
for their maintenance, they were pirincipally
supported by a very moral act of Parliament,
which, by the wise provision of a largo grant,
held out a very liberal bounty to prafligacy.
At all events, the opprobrious epithet of Par
isheen was that usually fixed upon them.
Now, of all classes of our fellow creatures,
one might almost naturally suppose that those
deserted and forsaken beings would be apt,
onigned as they uniformly were to the care
of mercenary strangers, to experience neglect,
ill-treatment, or even cruelty itself; and yet,
bonor be to the generonus hearts and affection
ate feelings of our humble people, it has been
proved by the incontestlble authority of a
Commision expressly appointed to examine
and report on the working of the very hospital
in question, that the care, affection and ten
dernees with which these ill-fated creatures
were treated by the nurses to whom they were
given out, were equal, if not superior, to those
bestowed upon their own children. Even
when removed from these nurses to situations
of incomparably more comfort-situations in
which they were lodged, fed and clothed in a
Car superior manner-they have been known
in innumerable instances to elope from their
masters and mistresses, and return to their old
abodes, preferring the indulgence of their af
fection, with poverty and distress, to anything
else that life could offer.
All this, however, was very natural and rea
sonable, for we know that even the domestio
animal will love the hand that feeds him. But
that which we have alluded to as constituting
the strong analogy between it and the attach
ment of the foster brother, Is the well-known
fact, that the affection of the children to the
narse, though strong and remarkable, was as
nothing when compared with that which the 1o
nurses felt for them. This was proved by a t
force of testimodyvbich no skepticism could g
encounter. The parting scenes between them
were affecting, and in many lnstanoes agon- t
izing to the last degree. Nay, nurses have c
frequently come to Dablin, and with tears in I
their eyes, and in acoents of the most nn- 1
feigned sorrow, begged that the orphanes might t
be allowed to stay with them, undertaking, 1
rather than part with them, that they would t
support them at their own expense. It would ,
be very difficult to produce a more honorable
testimony to the moral honesty, generosity and
exquisite kindness of heart which characterise
our people, than the authentic facts we have
Just mentioned. They fell naturally in our
way when treating of the subject tiat pre
ceded them, and we could not, in joutie to cir
cumstances so beautiful and striking, much
less in justice to the people themselves, pass
them over in silence.
We shall now relate a short story, illnstra
ting the attachment of a foster brother ; but
as we have reason to believe that'the circum
stances are true, we shall introduce ictitious
names inatead of the real ones. e
The rebellion of ninety-eight was just at its
height when the incidents we are about to
mention took place. A gentleman named
Moore had a dan ughter remarkable for her
beauty and accomplishments. Indeed, so eale
brated had she become, that her health was
always drunk as the toast of her natlveconaty.
Many sulturs she had, of course, but among
the rest two were remarkable for their assidu
ons attentions to her and an lntense anxiety
to secure her affections. Henry Irwl* was a
high loyalist, as was her own father, whose
consent to gain the aflections of his daughter
had been long given to his young frienud The
other, a young gentleman named Hewson, who
in point of fact had already seoued her affoe
tions, was, unfortunately, deeply'involved in,
or, we should rather say, an open leader on,
the insurgent side- Ilia principles having be
come known to Moore, as a republican, for
some time before the breaking out of the insur
rection, he was, in consequence, forbidden the
house, and warned against holding commoni
cation with any mnen.ber of his family. lei
had succeeded however, before this, by the aid
of Miss Moore herself, who was aware of his
principles, in placing as butler in her father's
family his own foster brother, Frank Fiune
gan-an arrangement which never would have
been permitted had Moore known of the pecu
liar bond of affection which subsisted between
them. Of this, however, he was ignorant;
and in admitting Finnegan into.his family, he
was not aware of the advantages he afforded
to the proscribed suitor of hisadaughter. This
interdiction, however, came too late for the
purposes of prudence. Ere it was issued, Hew
son and his daughter had exchanged vows of
mutual affection ; but the national outbreak
which immediately cnsued, by forcing Hlewhon
to assume his place as an insurgent leader,
appeared to have placed a barrier between him
and her which was naturally conaidered to be
insurmountable. In the meantime, Moore
himself, who was a local magistrate, and also
a captain of yeomaury, took an extremely
active part in .luelling the insurrection, and
in hunting down and securing the rebels. Nor
was Irwin less zealous in following the foot
steps of the man to whom he wished to reconm
mend himself as his future son-in-law. They
acted together; and so vigorous were the mea
sures of the young loyalist, that the other felt
it "ocessary in some instances to check the ex
in- ub,."ance of his loyalty. This, however, was
un- not known to the opposite party ; for as Irwin
'o- always seemed to act under the instructions of
ish his friend Moore, so was it obviously enough
lly inferred that qvery harsh act and wanton
Ira- stretch of authority which he committed was
i it either sanctioned or suggested by the other.
'er- The consequence was, that Moore became. if
in possible, more odious than Irwin, who was

its aroelty ~,f the senseless puppet he was
the manageng. In this, it is unnecessary to say,
ant they were egregiously mistaken. In the mean
ilo- time the rebellion went forward, and many
are acts of cruelty and atrocity were committed
ore on both sides. Moore's house and family
ely would have been attacked, and most pre
idi- bably murder and ruin might have visited
on him and his, were it not 'for the influ
hat ence of Hewson with the rebefý. Twice did
in the latter succeed, and on eacl occasion with
iral great difficulty, in preventing him and his
one household from falling victims to the ven
sad geance of the insurgents. Moore was a man
ices of great personal courage, but apt to under
her, rate the character and enterprise of those why
tri- were opposed to him. Indeed, his prudence
im- was by no means on a par with his bravery
tble or zeal, for he has often been known to sally
ing, out at the head of a party in quest of his ene
stic mies, and leave his own mansion, and the live,
er of those who were in iit, exposed and defence
rid, less.
ion On one of these excursions it was that he
mom chanced to capture a small body of insurgents
cry headed by an intimate friend and distant rela
no- tive of liewson's. As the law at that unhappy
are period was necessarily quick in its operations
as we need scarcely say that, having been taker
alar openly armed against the king and the cousti
in- tution, they were tried and executed by the
ion, summary sentence of a court martial. A deeal
;bly and bloody vengeance was now sworn against
ari- him and his by the rebels, who for some time
s to afterwards lay in wait for the purpose of re
we tallating in a spirit prompted by the atrociouo
inst character of the times.
hen Hewson's attachment to Moore's daughter;
ist- however, had been long known, and his previ.
des- ous interference on behalf of her father had
ing been successful on that account only. Now,
arts however, the plan of attack was laid without
Sof his cognizance, and that with the most solemn
a s injunctions to every one concerned in it not to
who disclose their object to any human bebig not
Sof officially acquainted with it, much less to Hew.
eed son who they calculated would once more take
ord seach steps as might defeat their sanguinary
nly purpose. These arrangements having been
'ted made, matters were allowed to remain quiet
be for a little, until Mooreshould be off his guard;
ugs, for we must observe here, that he had felt it
the necessary, after the execution of the captured
tax rebels, to keep his house strongly and reso
ally Intely defended. The attack was therefore
t, ostponed until the apprehensions created by
,is recent activity should gradually wear
icy. away, and his enemies might with less risk
'ar- undertake the work of bloodshed and destruoo
tion. The night at length was appointed on
rea, which the murderous attack most be made.
ose All the dark details were arranged with a des
pt, liberation at which, removed as we now are
are from the sanaguinary excitement of the times,
et, the very sonsuhudders and getesick. A secret.,
ret, however, communicated, even under the most
on- solemn sanction, to a great number, stands a
n great chance of being no secret at all, especial
a ly during civil war, where so many interests
inc of friendship, blood and marriage, bind the
tal opposingparties together, in spite of the public
en- prionelples under which they aot. Miss Moosre's
res maid bad a brother, for instance, who, together
ere with several of his friends and relatives, being
ee appointed to aid in the attack, felt anxious
run that she should not be present on that night,
ans lest her acquaintance with them might be
in ultimately dangerous to the asailante. He
na aecordipgly sought an opportunity of seeng
her, add - earnest language urged her to
ir absent herself from her master's house on the
old appointed night. The girl was not much sur
af- prised at the ambiguity of his hints, for the
ng troth was that no person, man or woman, poe
sessing common snse, could be ignorant of the
ba- state of the country, or of the evil odor in
tio whclh Moore and Irwin, and all those who
let were active on the part of the Government,
g were held. She suoordingly told him that bshe
- would follow his advice, and spoke to him in
un terms so shrewd and significant, that be deem
he ed it useless to preserve further secrecy. The
as plot was thus disclosed, and the girl warned to
leave the house, both for her owi sake and for a
thabof those :who wbre to wreak their van'- a
geance upon Moore and his family. d
The poor girl, hoping that her madter and I
the reat might fly from the impending danger, r
conmmunioated the oironmstanees to Miss I
Moore, who forthwith communicated them to
her father, who, again, instead of flying, took i
measures to collect about his premises, during r
the early part of the dreaded night, a large 1
L and well-armed force from the next military
I station. Now, it so happened that thil girl, I
whose name was Baxter, bad a leaning
I towards Hewson's foster brother Finnegan,
" her fellow-servant, who in plain language was
Sbher aoeepted lover. If love will not show
r itself in a case of danger, it is good for noth
in lg. We need aoarcely say that Peggy Baxter,
apprehensiave of danger to her sweetheart
confided the secret to him also in -the early
a part of the day of the attack. Finnegan was
surprised, especially when he heard from
º- Peggy that Howeon had been kept in igno
It morance of the wholedesign (for so her brother
t- bad told her), in consequence of his attach
ment to her young mistress. There was now
no possible way of warding of such a calamity
u onless by communicating with Hewson; and
o thia, as FPlnnegan was a sound United Irish
d man, he knew* he cohld do without any
r peartieular danger. He lost no time, therefore,
SIn seeing him; and we need scarcely say that

ig without his knowledge. Finnegan then left

0o Matters were now coming to a crisis. Hew

a, sollected a small party of his own Immediate
u, and personal friends, not one of whom, from
e- their known attachment to him, had been,
or any more than himself, admitted to a knowl
ir- edge of the attack upon Moore. Determined,
he therefore, to be beforehand with the others, he

I whence they went quickly, and with all possi
id ble secrecy, to Moore's house, for the purpose
,is not only of apprizing him of the fate to which
r' he and his werdoomed, but also with an in
1e- tention of escorting him and all his family as
ve far from his house as might be consistent with
iu- the safety of both parties. Our readers are of
on course prepared for the surprise and capture
t; of honest Hewson and his friends, of whose
he friendly intentions they are aware. It is too
ed true. Not expecting to find the house defended
iLs they were unprepared for an attack or sally ;
he and the upshot was that in a few minutes two
W- of them were shot, and most of the rest, among
of whom was Iiewson, taken prisoners on the
ak spot. Those who escaped communicated to
on the other insurgents an account of the
er, strength with which Moore's house was de
inm fended, and the latter instead of making an
be attempt to rescue their friends, albandoned the
ire meditated attack altogether, and left Hoewson
la1 and his party to their fate. A gloomy fate that
"ly was. Assertions and protestations of their
ad innocence were all in vain. An insurgent
Cor party were expected to attack the house, and
ot- of course they came, headed by Hewson him

)Se SOME OF TIHE VICTIMS OF THE VILLE DU
ed IIAVRE DISASTER.
Y; In the melancholy catalogue of the poor
ug people engulphed in the Ville du Havre,
he we read that there were twenty-seven
to third class passengers, and six " stow
shc aways." The last named term is sufficient
ie- ly curious to call for explanation; and in
an tendering it we touch upon one of the
most wretched features of emigract life.
A "stowaway" is an individual who, in
ear the Iast moment, just before the vessel
ent leaves the dock for her destination, slinks
nd on board, creeps below, and colceals him
in- self as securely as lie is able, in remote:
to nooks and corners of the lower deck or the
her forepcak. Sometimes he gets into the hold,
foe but there, if the hatches are battened down,
and he runs the risk of being smothered. At
ing all events he crawls into his coign of vant
his age, and crouches there, like a rat behind
cu- the wainscot, quaking for fear of discovery.
And detection must sooner or later be the
nd fate of the "stowaway."

skipper, when the run is over, is as glad to

may be seen per sting the entire ward

is simply this :-they never have anything ;

ie and always buying. None but rich people
can afford to buy poor goods. This rule
t applies to all sorts of goods-mslins cloths, in

time we see women spend in making up
muslins of low grade for underolpthing.
There are so many stitches in a shirt ! And

should, there is Just twice as much work

with regard to shopping itself may be in

better to buy at one and the same place
than run about for the purpose of hunting
up bargains. A regular customer can often
get favors denied to an occasional par- 1

don't want, simply because it is cheap.
