£3., ij tv' -f with •tVr THE DAY SHE DIED. BY LUIiAH ItAOSDALE. All as she left it within her room Her footstool here where she used it last Her chair drawn near to the plants in bloom— The time of flowers will soon be past. Here is her work-box. and white ae milk Her velvet cushion lies by its side And a needle threaded witli rose-hued silk Just as she left it the day she died. On the sofa there is the dress she wore, Dainty the sheer soft muslin thing It suited her tender faca of yore Because of its tints like the buds of spring, A crumpled glove on her dressing case. The print of fingers within it yet, And about it lingering still a trace Of violet vague and mignonette. A ribbon dropped on the carpet near, Br her own soft lingers its knot was tied: No one has dared to onter here Since the sadden, sorrowful day she died. There on, the table her open book, And tiie blot of a tear that seems scarcely dried The story, perhaps, has a sadder look, Because she read it the day she died. There- her drawing but half complete: And open yonder the song she tried: in the Other Land will ehe sing it as sweet A she sung it here on the day she died? And here, afc me! on lu-r writing case. Her open in and her paper spread, With a few last words which herh«nd did trace: Tlirouuh the fall of ray tears they can scarce he read. A letter it- is and commenced to me Oonrai'jiiced to me on the day she died '•When lo»» grows deathless I'll marry thee." In Paradise will I gain my bride?

'I don't say mv mother is not grand, for she is grand. Look at her in her violet velvet, and whqre will you see a grander woman? But my dear Mrs. JByans. what is grandeur without sub limity 'Ton my word, Mr. Mooney, I must beg 'Don't suppose, Mrs. Evans, that I" allude to any peculiarities of pronuncia tion of phraseology, which indeed are common to both my respected parents. Ko I refer solely to sublimity, What is a woman without sublimity And if my mother possessed the smallest part icle of sublimity, why tp,lk of the fat one Is not talking of the fat one ut terly incompatible with sublimity?' Mr. Mooney struck the table, and paused for a reply. Taking silence for assent, he continued 'To be called an omadhaun—to be desired to have si use, Tom Mooney—to be contemptuously recommended uot to be 'the first fool of the family.' All this and more I could hava bome. But the fat one, my dear Mrs. Evans, the fat one was too '.much for me.' Miea Baker?' •ITot Miss Baker, you know. But the fat one.' 'And what did they say about her?' 'Say about her,' exclaims Mr. Mooney, have his hair standing on end, 'why they the match made, and I must marry one.' -isA's-f *0h, yes,' says Mrs. Evans. Mr. Mooney Mlteyedhijj feelings b, swallowing a second glass of wine, and trying to look through the ceiling. 'It was not her beauty,' he began again 'no it was not her beauty, my dear Mrs. Evans, it was the sublimity of her dis position. now are the mother of that most sublime young lady—you who are not deficient in sublimity yourself, like mv im portunate parent—tell me, would there be a hope for me, the slightest hope, if I should rebel against parental tyranny 'I fear not, Mr. Mooney,' replied Mrs. Evans, her pique against her daughter getting the better of her generalship 'for I believe my daughter's affections axe already engaged.' 'I thought so,' said Mr. Mooney 'and just what I said to my mcther when she proposed the fat one 'mother,' says I. 'my affections are already engaged.' But what can you expect from a mother without sublimity? And now,' said Mr. Mooney, standing up and looking at his boots and buckskin breeches, 'farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness:' 'Othello's occupation's gone.' But re member, my dear Mrs. Evans, it was not her beauty, it was the sublimity, the great sublimity of her disposition.' 'You said something,' said Mrs. Evans, partly out of curiosity and partly to change the subject 'you said some thing about a misunderstanding be tween Mr. Grindem and some person?' 'A misunderstanding,' said Mr. Mooney, la she was jolly row, very nearly.' "How did it occur?' 'Why, you see, Grindem rode round to Thubbermore, thinking the fox would go that way as usual, fie was in a jolly passion, and on passing Turcell's house, just as the hounds were drawn off, be accused Purcell of driving away the fox. The fellow paid 110 attentionlto him he was paying a lot of laborers at the time, This set Grindem wild, and he rode up to Purcell, and charged Lim again with driving the fox away. Purcell said it was untrue, and Grindem raised his whip to strike him. Purcell advanced a step towards him, when a fellow named Dunphy made at Grindem with a spade. In fact, only for Dawson there VI be open murder. Purcell in sisted that Grindem should apologize, and of course he did for what else could he do surrounded by such a lot of wild savages? Then Tim Croak came up and told the most extraordinary story about the fox, and so the matter ended but I'm thinking Grindem will meet Purcell for it yet.' Mrs, Evans held a candle to a bronze timepiece on a sidetable. and remarked that it was near eleven o'clock. Mr. Mooney tnok the hint. 'Good night, Mrs. Evans,' said Mr. Mooney 'tis all over-, 'iay lips are now forbid to speak that once fa,miliar word but do me- the justice to remember that it was not her beauty—for what .is beauty? itfe. Mrs. Evans, it was the sublimity of her dis position.' Having said this, with hi3 eyes turned devoutly to the ceiling, Mr. Mooney bowed low and withdrew. 'I really think,' said Mrs. Evans to herself that I am troubling myself without cause. Jane,is not such a fool as not to have forgotten that girlish at tachment long ago. I wish to Heaven she were married.' CHAPTER XIII. During the foregoing conversation, the young lady, whose sublimity was so often referred to,'sat alone in her cham ber. She took up the old scrap-book again, and commenced to read the school-master's story where she had left off. 'It was necessarv to have the name and age of each pupil on the roll. When I wrote down the name of Eose Mulvany, I turned to her to inquire what wa3 her age. I hardly knew why, but 1" could not ask the question, and put up the book without puttiug down her age. The next I got two or three 'new scholars,' and when asking their ages I took courage and said, 'And how old are you Rose?' She looked up, and smiling bashfully replied: 'I believe I'm seventeen and a bit, sir,' and then bend ing her head she shook down her wavy auburn hair to hide her blushes. She fou.ud out a low seat and always sat upon it, in order, as I saw, to make her self look, small among the other girls. I remarked, too, that she always wore her cloak, for the purpose, as I guessed, of concealing her well-developed figure. All this reserve, however, was thrown aside when I was not present. How ofteu. did I watch her from the window during play hours, bounding like a wild fawn among the children. All the childreu loved her and it was so in teresting to see some little creature ex plaining the lesson to poor Rose, who would take her tiny instructress up in her arms and kiss her as a reward for her trouble. But after a few months Rose Mulvany could read and write pretty well, and, in fact, knew as much as most girls of her age and class. Every day I felt more and more inter ested in her but I was pained to observe that she became more reserved, and even appeared to stand almost in awe of me. She would check herself sud denly in the midst of her wildest glee on seeing me approach, and shake down her tresses to hide her face. I used to stand by sometimes and encourage the boys and girls at their games in the play ground but the moment 1 appeared, Rose would put on her cloak hastily and steal away. 'After awile I began to call at her father's house on Sunday evenings. How glad the kind old couple were to see mel And Rose, too, was less reserved on these occasions than at school, but still very timid. The thought •jbfc AW-«A».4* ^.V ».' if' mm- 'M 'v.." •'. v- ,- ', often oceured to me that she disliked me but I believe now the contrary was the case. It was very foolish in me to torment myself as I did for, as I after wards remembered, her face always you who lighted up on seeing me and while I Jane Evans closed the book. 'And has he been happy?' she mur mured, She opened the window again, and watched the stars going down. And the gray dawn was creeping up the eastern sky wheu Jane Evans laid her head upon her pillow. CHAPTER XIY. The 'jolly row—very nearly,' of which Mr. Mooney informed Mrs. Evans, was very near being an unpleasant affair. When Brian Purcell was cool enough t3 review the events of the day dispas sionately, he congratulated, himself upon having escaped the necessity of laying yiolent hands on Mr. Oliver Grindem. Brian Purcell disliked a quarrel, and kept out of the way of be ing insulted as much as possible. He did so because he could not help feeling that in the present state of society an interchange of violent language or vio lent blows with no matter whom, or for what cause had something disreputable about it. It is so easy for any one to call any one else a scoundrel, and tell him he lied. And then it requires no THE IRISH STANDARD: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1887. stayed, though she generally remained silent, she looked perfectly happy. I wished very much that my dear mother should see her, but I was quite afraid lest she should feel prejudiced against her. For I noticed that my mother was quite jealous of everv one who she im agined might make too deep an impres sion on me. I believe she thought no one good enough for me! 'So matters stood, when one day John Mulvany came into the school and handed me a letter to read. I read it, and my heart died within me. A rela tive had paid his daughter's passage to America. Rose had an elder sister, a quiet, good, industrious crirl. Her father called Rose, and told her to come home with him. She did not know what was in the letter, but I believe she guessed it, for as she went out she looked at me, and turning round her head, kept her eyes fixed upon me till her father closed the door. I never saw her look directly at me before while I was looking at her. 'One midsummer's day she came with her father and mother to take leave of the scholars, shall never forget the scene. The children clung to her, most of them crying passionately. Several of the boys even were obliged to brush the tears from their eyes as they looked at her. .For the first time the poor girl was well dressed: ancl, surely a creature more radiant never was seen. When they had gone, I went mechanically through the business of the day. I locked the school-room as usual, and turned my steps homeward. Before going into my little cottage, I walked for an hour by the river. I asked my self should I declare my affection to her, and ask her to stay and be my wife. But what reason had I to hope that she cared for me? And what would my dear mother think? Was I even sure that Rose's parents would consent? For, with all their respect for me, I thought it quite possible that they would not consider me a fit match for their daugh ter. The school-master is thought so little of in this conn try. ISfo. I had not the courage to ask Rose Mulvany to be my wife. 'In the evening I went down to the bridge, where the people were as sembled round a bonfire. There was a dance, too. The sisters were there, with their arms twined round each ^dismissed other's waists. There was something touchingly sorrowful in their faces. I thought my heart would burst as I looked at Rose. She was so sad, and oh! how lovely! You. Mr. Purcell, were there. A young girl asked you to dance. After dancing with her, you looked round to choose a partner, as is the custom. You asked Rose Mulvany to dance. I saw her eyes flash with pleasure. All gloom was gone in an instant. Surely the pang I felt at that moment was not caused by jealousy! But I did feel a pang and. immediately a gloomy foreboding took possession of my heart. I moved to the side of Rose's sister. 'Mary,' said I, 'take care of Rose.' 'She looked at her sister, and then at me. She took my hand and pressed it without speaking. I knew she under stood me. 'I accompanied them home. Oh! the grief of that poor father aud mother! For a while it made me forget my own. I bade farewell to Mary, and kissed her. I could not do more than take Rose's hand. Her head dropped and her lips parted as I did so. As I let go her cold hand she fell senseless into my arms. Oh, fool, fool! why did I not save her then? 'Mary died of fever on the voyage. Her sister landed in New York. And —oh, my God! how can I write the words? Rose Mulveuy, the beautiful, the innocent, the pure, is a lost, polluted thing. My life, since I learned her fate. has been one dream of agony. I have endeavored, but in vain, to tear her from my heart. I know she is lost to me forever. But the thought that she is lost to virtue and to God—leading a life of sin, and dragging souls to hell—is wearing away my life. 'My dear, good mother is gone to rest. I have laid her besides my father. I leave Ireland to-morrow. I go to save Rose Mulvany. If it be God's will that I succeed, you will hear from me. Good-by, my true friend, and may you be happy!5 great heroism to give a man a black eye or lay a cane across his shoulders, when the affair must end in a roll in the gut ter and a bloody nose, or in being bound over to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects. Brian dreaded an insult, too, from Mr. Oliver Grindem, because he felt be should have satisfac tion. And what satisfaction could he have that would not leave a sting be hind it almost as sharp as the unavenged insult? The remedy would be almost as bad a's the disease. Brian's grand uncle did horsewhip Mr. Oliver Grin dem's father during an election. But that was sixty years ago, and his grand uncle immediately called upon Frank O'liyan, of Kilnemanagh, when the following short but pitliv conversation took place:— 'I'm after horse-whipping Grindem.' 'Very good.' 'Have you everything in order?' 'All right.'' 'Of course, if he sends a friend, I'll refer him to you.' 'Very well I'll stay at home for the evening to prevent disappointment.' 'Good morning. And let it be as early as possible, as I must go out to get voters from the mountain.' Brian did not regret those fire eating times. But he could not help thinking that, as a rule, insulting a man now-a days was more or less a cowardly pro ceeding. Therefore, giving or receiving an affront was a thing which he wished to keep clear of. But when he remem bered Mr. Oliver Grindem's ashy face while he uttered the necessary apology, with white lips and glaring eyes, Brian felt that he had a deadly enemy. 'I'm not in his power, thank Heaven/ he thought. 'I am independent of him.' Yet it was the very independence which made the landlord hate him. His grandfather had giyen a large sum of money for a lease, renewable forever, ofCoolbawn and the idea that there was one tenant on bis own property whom he could neither get rid of nor make tremble before him, was gall and wormwood to Mr. Oliver Grindem. Brian's father, however, had no lease, and as his landlord was head and ears in debt, he felt a vague sort of alarm, lest by some unlucky chance his enemy should get possession of the estate ot which Ballycorrig formed a part. 'If he does,: he thought, 'there will be no mercy for us, and my poor father's heart will be broken. Howeyer,'—we are almost tempted to suppress the vul gar adage with which Mr. Brian Purcell the unpleasant subject— 'however, 'ti time enough to bid the devil good morrow when you meet him.' The fire blazed pleasantly and the blaze was reflected all round the old fashioned parlor on the old-fashioned mahogany furniture. Here we are again tempted to suppress something, for we dearly wish that this young man should stand well with our readers. Mr. Brian Purcell took an ordinary tobacco-Dipe from the chimney-piece, and having lighted it, began to smoke. Moreover, at his elbow was a drinking-glass (com monly called a tumbler), with an am ber-colored mixture in it that smoked too. And now, having made a clean breast of it, we can proceed with our story with a clear conscience. That half hour on Knockclough Hill was fruitful of sweet and bitter fancies. He foolishly twisted his neck into a very grotesque and painful position for the purpose of looking at his left shoul der. However, she was so preoccupied with the hunt, might she net have rested her hand on his shoulder inadvertently? Of course she might. But then, when he looked round at one time, he found that her eyes, instead of following hounds and huntsmen, were bent upon him with a dreamy sort of look, as if she was trying to remember something. 'Bah!'exclaimed Mr. Brian Purcell, putting his pipe to his lips. But the pipe had gone out, and its bowl was quite cold, so that he must have been brooding deeply lor some minutes at least. He had recourse to the pipe for the purpose of driving away a thought which kept hovering round and round him, coming nearer and nearer, as if it wToukl nestle in his bosom. The thought was—that Jane Evans loved him still. A thought which, we warn our gentle man. is not to be frightened away with a 'bah.' Time has so far healed the old wound that he tries to persuade himself that the pain which it used to give him a few years ago was not real,—was nothing more than a dream. 'Yet, why should I deny it?' he said to himself. *1 did suffer. But I have proved that time aud an ordinary share of strength of mind can cure the worst cases of this kind. However,' said Brian Purcell after another pause, 'I began to fear that a relapse is possible.' \Ve know what would render a re lapse impossible in his case and we have some hopes that he will try it. But he certainly has not tried it yet,— that is as far as he knows. (To be Continued.) The whole country east of Mexico, Nevada, was on fire recently. The farms of W. F. Reed and Earl Cunningham were swept by the flames, and but for a corn field which stopped the flames, thousands of acres would have been burned. The loss is very heavy. The fire caught from an engine on the Chi cago & Alton. There has been no rain there since the 2nd of July. Southern papers call attention to the numerous openings for small industries In the south.
