The harp that long iu Tara's lialls IlatH sad and silent lain, Khali sound again within those walls, To freedom's lofty strain; And grand and clear the note shall swell Iu music on the gale, To greet the old green Hag so well, With sougstf lunisfail! « 0 Erirt ! thou loved land of song ! — Thy sun is veiled, not set ! Thy spirit that hath slept so long, Shall wake in thunder Vet! And round thy lonely s(tores Loch Lein, And by the silvery Lee, True Irish swords shall fl:ish again And Ireland shall be free ! • A spirit stirs within my blcod— It shall not stir amiss! It feels the strife beyond the flood That parts thy |hore from this. • Columbia sows war's dragon teeth, lty many a lull aud fen, Nor recks how on the Irish heat)* They spring up armed men ! From Antrim to the Southern lake, From Tralee to Kildare, One silent spirit walk% and wakes The lion in his lair! From Arraghmore's far stormy steep, To Carlow and Kinsale, Thou risest, giant like, from sleep ; Arise ! strike home! prevail \ • DOES EAGER BEER INTOXICATE! DtARY OF A MAN WHO TESTS IT. "Does lager beer intoxicate?" That is a question which bas agitated this country for years—courts and communities being divided ugon it. As a scientific experiment, and for the purpose of satisfying my mind upon the subject, I went among the beer gardens and beer saloons yesterday, keeping a journal of my progress, which I herewith append: 9 a. M. —Took a glass of lager at a Third street saloon. Exceedingly cooling to the system. It diffuses a -gentle and agreeable exhilaration throughout the brain. 9.05 a. m. —Took another glass with brown bread, salt, and cardaman seeds. Thoughts run in agreeable channels. Disposed to look leniently upon the frailties of humanity.— Wouldn't refuse to receive cash in full from a debtor, or force money upon a-man I owed. Fat the head of a little Dutch baby that tod dles by me. Am carried back in imagination to the days of my youth, (which the nights of my maturl years had put out of my head somewhat.) I remember my early love, and muse in a kindly vein (all in vain) upon the morning of my existence. Dad had some annoyances iu the morning which vanished with the froth of the beer, and some life-long troubles went with them, for a time at least. 9.10 a.m. —*Took another glass, joined by a friend. A kindly feeling toward the friend. 1 allow him to pay tor the beer, however, re taining my presence of mind. We indulge in cheerful conversation. I become eloquent on German literature. Quote trom Gœthe, Schiller, and glow at the mention of Rem brandt. Other friends enter. I allow them to pay for beer al$o. 10 a. m.— I call for more beer, and tell the bar-keeper that lie is 'in.' Ask a stranger to 'join us.' Another member of the party calls vociferously for 'hard-boiled eggs.' I check him and feel a sympathy for a man who 'show s his beer.' 10.30 a. m.— We have indulged in more beer. Disposition on the part of some to tell old anecdotes, at which the party laugh in ordinately. The bar keeper 'smiles' at our expense. Some one proposes that wé go up Pine street. Another gluts of beer, and wo g° 11a. m. —Shook hands with every acquain tance we met on toe street coming here. Re member patting one or two particular frieuds on the back, and urging them to 'go 'long.' Gave a newsboy twerfty-five cents for a morn ing paper that I had read, and declined to lake any change back. Had a glass of beer. 12 m—T he party gets larger and fuller. All talk together, as a general thing. Through some perfectly inexplicable process, beer mugs that were empty at ono moment, stare me in the face at another moment full. Some one calls for cigars. One man in the party looks pale, becomes silent and meditative, and then makes bis feeble way towards the back yard, from which retched sounds pro ceed. 1 p. m. —We are 'over the Rhine,' though I have little recollection about coming here. Think we stopped twice on the way and drank beer. One man has left the party. He said he had 'business' to attend to. Remem ber feeling a sort of admiration for the man who had nerve to leave a party and go about his business. Wisbl had some business and had the nerve to go about it. Thought that there was a bare possibility that I drank too much beer. Concluded to have some more beer 2jp r . m. —More beer. Some of us leave a half a glass undrank, while others order •kline' glasses. One naan 'switches off' oh whisky, and another 'takes a cigar in hts'n.' 2 30 p. m. —Another round. T tell my sto ries over twice, and just as I reach the point in the story a friend breaks in with—'that re minds of a little incident,' &c. 3 p M.—As near as I can recollect, I called for more beer. One man in the party, who bad been very boisterous up to that moment, grows suddenly silent, his head drops over on his shoulder and he goes to sleep. Another man sings a song. We all join in the chorus without any particular regard to the key. more beer. 3.30 p. m. —'Sixty-six' is introduced. We play for the beer, and the beer continues to play the deuce for ns. Two or three suspi cious looking strangers, whom we wouldn't admit to our fellowship under other circum stances, wormed themselves into the parly. They laughed extravagantly at all my stories, and call for the beer which is applied to my account. 4 p. m. —A man who had been silently drinking bis beer for some time, suddenly breaks out in violent denunciation of some individual who is absent, and whom none of us know. We immediately sympathize with him, and proceed to denounce the absent in dividual with great warmth, all talking to gether. More beer. 5 p. m.— I sing a song, forgetting the third line in the second verse, and nearly go to sleep in trying to recall it. 5.30 p. m. —I insist upon paying for all we've had. A total siranger borrows five dollars of me until he can -see Stofe.' The glasses are filled up again by order of a party at the other end of the room. 6 p. M.—Men with their coats off, vociferat ing violently. Everybody in intense perspir ation; disposition to spill beer ou our shirt bosoms and our clothes. Beer mugs knock'd off the table. Bar-keeper gets excited and wastes his German on the desert air, the des ert air not understanding it. I imagine that be is asking us all to drink, and accept the invitation. It is charged to me. I p. m.—M ore beer spilled on our shirt bosoms. More fellows grow pale and go out in the back yard, and more men suddenly recollect that they have business to attend to, going about their business as though it was the 'rail fence' business. Lager beer won't intoxicate 1 Man asleep across Qie table. Another man off, rs to 'rassle' any one in the party for the beer, (having 'rassied' a large quantity of beer.) A stranger takes it up, the 'rassle' proceeds—and 1 go under. More beer. 10 p. m. —More men sleep. I embrace two or three Dutchmen at the uext table—telling them 'your my friend.' Look round and discover all of a sudden, that my party has changed. All gone 'wot I knowd,'.and a lot of strangers there. That it is time to go home. Drink a glass of beer and go it. II p. M.—Am rudely awakened by some one. Open my eyes and see a couple of watchmen. 1 am on a door-step on Pine street. The watchman says 'You don't want to sleep here.' 'The devil I don't. Do you suppose I would be (hie) foolish enough to lay down and go to sleep here if I didn't want to?' 'Butyou can't sleep here.' 'That's a different thing altogether. You said I didn't want to, and (hic) I never wanted to so bad in my life before.' 11.30 p. m. —I reached home. Experienced a good deal of difficulty in unlocking the hall door with a lead pencil. Try a pocket knife, and then blunder upon the night key. Suddenly remember that I have got tbe hic cups, and getting under the ball gas-light, I try to cure them by seeing bow near I can put my two little fingers together without touching them. I 'job' them by each other, clear up to tbe elbow. Then experience a glow of triumph as I hold them very near to gether, TWO FEET APART. 11 55 p. m. —The hiccups cured. Congrat ulate myself on the cure a3 I go up stairs. Think of taking out a license to practice in that line. I open tbe door—give a hiccup that starts the roof, and nearly throws my head off. Wife starts up in bed, and says : ' Drunk again !' I protest that I am (hie) not. I was digni fied and learned, and ask her if she (hie) un derstands the diag (hie) nosis of hiccups. She says she had ought to ; she had seen me have them often enough. Siÿd I, in an injured voice: 'Do you know Madam, that (hie) hiccups come from (hicj— comes from a eold (hie) 3toraach V' She said she thought it came from a beer cellar down street. I insisted that a cold lit of (hie) hiccups often comes from a severe stomach, and remember wandering off into a disserta tion upon the intoxicating properties of quails, while she was pulling off my boots. Lagor-beer won't intoxicate. Ob, no ! HuNKr-Kl-DO-RI. Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin, the oldest town on the Upper Mississippi, besides being tbe terminus of railroads, is noted for the sleepy beaqty of its location, its old fort, (Crawford) and for being tbe place whence Jeff. Davis, then a Lieutenant in the United States Army, eloped with the daughter of ex President Taylor, then Colonel in command of our forces at Fort Crawford. Here was Davis' first secession exploit. He loved the handsome daughter of Col. Taylor. That love was returned. Col. Taylor would not consent to their marriage, so Lieut. Davis se ceded trom Prairie du Chein and went to an other union. By the means of a rope ladder the girl let herself down from the upper win dow of the commandant's bouse at the fort ; in the darkness of tbe night they went to the edge of the river; a trusty Indian took the lovers into his canoe, and off down tbe stream they went and were married at St. Louis as soon as they could reach that point. Joff.'s relics, including portions of his old Lieuten ant's uniform, are, with other curiosities, now preserved in a cabinet of curiosities at La Crosse, Wisconsin.—[Exchange. a Montana Miking BnL—We recently had occasion to refer to the President's veto of tbe bill authorizing the Montana Mining and .Manufacturing Company to purchase a cer tain amount of tbe public lauds not now in market. The veto message exposed the at tempt to carve out of the public domain an immense estate for a private incorporation, with scarcely any outlay to tbe speculators concerned, and in a manner contrary to our land laws, as it discriminated unjustly in fa vor of speculators against pioneers and ac tual settlers seeking homes in our western territory. The National Intelligencer, in the course of an able article referring to this job, says that the exposition of this job by the Execu tive was so withering that no attempt was made to obtain the two-thirds vote necessary to pass the bill, notwithstanding the veto.— But the job was not to be so easily abandon ed. A few days afterwards it was revived, revamped and passed by Congress, under the title of ''An Act Creating the Territory of Montana into a Surveying District, au(! for other purposes." These "other purposes." which formed, in fact, the whole gist of the bill, were almost a literal copy of tbe vetoed Montana bill, conferring exclusive, unjustand unlawful privileges upon this private com pany. The only purpose of the clause in the new bill, appointing surveyors, receivers and reg istrars there, was to introduce the original odions job already vetoed by tbe President, and to make these public officers, with sala ries from the federal government, simply tbe favorite agents of a company of private spec ulators. But this artifice did not escape the vigilance of President Johnson. It was met promptly by another veto. It ought not to escape the attention and condemnation of the people. Its passage a second time, under a differ ent title, is an irrefutable proof of the delib erate persistence o? Congress in an attempt, with full knowledge of its oulrageousness, to consummate a foul wrong and an infamous fraud.— [Mining Index. A very Romantic (bct not very moral) Episode in a Returned Californian's Life— She Got him at Last. —Tbe New Albany (Ind.) Ledger of a recent date bas tbe follow ing : Ladoga, on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railroad, has been the theatre of a rather romantic domestic scene Nine years ago, Ira Lord courted and deeply loved a young lady in Michigan. They wanted to marry, but the parents objected becauseLord was poor. He determined to go to California, and in the golden mines of that State digout a fartune that would mollify the parents, and entitle him to the daughter's bawd. Mutual vows of enduring love intermingled with those endearing tokens of affection which lovers alone understand, were passed, and Lord took his departure. After be had been gone for a time the parents fixed up a match tor the daughter with a man named Reynolds, and compelled her to marry him. Some weeks ago Lord returned from California, learned the facts in the case, and met the lady. The old flame which bad burned with so much ardor in their youthful hearts was rekindled. They atterwaids met clandes tinely, and soon arranged an elopement, which was carried out in a few days after, the lady taking her two children of her mar riage witfl her. The parties finally arrived at Ladogo, where Lord rented a farm tempo rarily, having bargained for a large and pro ductive one tobe delivered when tbe crops were gathered. He fitted up his house in good style, for he had plenty of shining dust, and was living in the bliss which lovers only realize. Reynolds, the husband, however, got upon the track of his fugitive wife, and suddenly dropped in upon Lord and her. Neither party was belligerently demonstrative; there was indeed more sorrow than anger. They talked the matter over, the wife declar ing her love for Lord, and telling Reynolds that it was impossible tor her to love him and make a true wife. Reynolds was con vinced; the matter was compromised, and Reynolds agreed to give the wife a bill of divorce, she to keep the children on condition that Lord settled enough on them to insure their comfortable support. They all returned to Michigan together, and soon Lord will be legally married to the love of his youth, for whom be had endured great privation. Such is one of life's chapters in this age of civili zation. Taking a Position —The Boise Statesman hes heretofore measurably sustained the.Pre sident, and at the same time seen nothing particularly objectionable in the course pur sued by Congress. In other words, our co temporary attempted the difficult feat known as the two-horse act. This performance was mainly intended to operate upon the election, and now that the sovereigns have spoken, our namesake no longer attempts to straddle the chasm that separates Congress from the President, but boldly takes sides with tbe Radicals and chimes in with Stevens, Sumner & Co. We mention this fact as showing that tbe crystalizing process is going on, and that tbe true Union men of the country are rapid ly being separated from those who failing to rule tbe Government are determined to ruin it.—[Walla Walla Statesman. The following notice recently appeared on the west end of a country meeting house: "Anyone sticking bills against this church will be prosecuted according to law or any other nuisance." - The best defence of lying that we ever read, is tbe remark o\ Charles Lamb, related by Leigh Hunt, that truth was precious and not to be wasted on everybody.
