from her in relation to the odinr .billeted i
upon the house, who had not yet returned fiom
the day's ishing excursion, as wll as heard 1
om her that both father, sister and mother
had driven to the village that afterno, but I
were expeeted ack every moment, as they had l
deerred dinner thmt.day until seven o'lok- 1
the time at .which their English guests were,
expected to eturn from their sport. .
" So you say," be observed, continuing his
conversation with the girl, as rney returned
frntthe stalile' and joined them in the kitchen,
"that this Viart of the country is swariang
with the king's troops, and that three of-them
have all but forcibly taken possession of the
house."
"Yes, indeed, your reverence," said Barney
slipping in his conversation sideways "an,'
worse than that, the red-coats, under te pl
of hunting ftp pikes and rebels, as they cal
them, are rnsacking, pflundering, and burning
all 'befire them, and the'fear now is, that this
very roof over our heads will be the next, for
the master is sspected, and that just amounts
to leaving him without hoed s or home."
On haring this intelligence the friar fell in
to a reverie, from which he was aroused by the
rsolndof carriate wheels; and the next moment

grted the friar cordially, taking him by the
Shad and insisting on his joining my mother
and sister in the parlor, who were waiting the
return of the oofficers before dinner was aerved
SApter some conversation, in which Father
l Bernard as he termed himself, displayed a
Sthoroegi knowledge of the condition of the
tcountry and of its hopes and prospects, the
noise of. boisterous laughter announced that
the expected guests were already in the hall;
and the next minute or so three gentlemen,
s sans ceremonise, and with but little politeness,
swaggered into the room.
M father, with his usual good breeding and
- good nature, arose to meet his guests and in
s troduce the friar; but the former, regarding
Sthis latter as a liberty on hispaenot otwarranted
f in any degree, took no notice whatever of his
, intention, and bliruptly left the apartment to
- prepare for dintaer, which was unow about to be

uIntely hung their heads for very shame at the

It was now between twelve and onent loeakb
when the frrasar e slowly to his feet and asked
permission to ropoe a toast, which wasfreelyo
granted not only by my father, but was acceded
to with sarastc applause by the three Entish
iorthies, who now, elated throanh their gladi
were determined to enjoy thems lves a hugly at
"Fill up, then, gentlemen," ho replied,-" and
although the toast may not be entirely in eep
hing with my cloth, noyeel tape."
No sooner said than done; the glasses were
immediately- repleinshed, and the four gentle
men turned toward the friar in expectation of
what was oming. Secarcely bad their regards
been well settled upon him, however, when ase
if by magice, the coarse, dark gown that iead
hitherto totally enveloped his person fell from
his shoulders, and he stood revealed full in their
gane, blaming in a uniform of green and gold
andholding a brimming glass in one hand, and
a cocked pistol in the other. In an instant the
three Englishmen leaped to their feet, and
rushed toward-the door of the apartment ; but
there they 'were met by a couple of drawn
swords, and reeling baekwavdj-deadly pale, to
their teats, they waited in terror the result.
a` Before we drink the toast, gentlemen," be
gan the pretended friar, "permit mie to intro

eyes again upon Captain Reok or his three
ies- The next morning only both myself
my mother and sister we made acnquainted
wilth the dreadfl intentions of the English,
and the'awiul transaetions of the night. Our
few hours of fearftl' experience, however,
were not by any baans the only ones of the
character in the vicinity of the-village, for all
the isolated houses in which any of the soldiers
were billeted were visited by the Rockites, and:
relieved of their guests, who were carried to
mountains as hostages. "-My father, taking the
hint embodied in the murderous document,
nevertheless, disposed of his property during
the ensuing week to a gentleman high in gov
ernment favor, and took shelter withhis whole
household in the city of Dublin. Nor was it
until some time afterward that he was made
aware of the fact .that the outlaws, who stood
in the darkness with two drawn swords at the
door, on the night of his adventure were
neither more nor less than Bridget and Barney
who, under the direction of the friar, abstracter
the weapons from the sleeping-rooms of the
oflenrs, and impersonated his men, although
there was not a single one of his party in the
vicinity of the house at the time.
Marriage is the beat state for man in
