TWENTY YEARS.

. —_—_— She nears the laud, the boat that brings My wxnd’ring boy aguin to me; The stardy rowers lend their wings, And now each eunburnt face I see. Armmoug them al! f mark not him— It ie not that with rising tears My watchful! eyes are weak aud dim; It is the lapse of twenty years.

Tle left me when a little lad, A lad! a babe; [gee him now, I hear hia voice so frank and gid, I stroke the carla apon his brow. My son returns across fhe main But brings not back the time thut’s fled ; I shall not bear the voice again, I shall not pat the childish head.

Perhaps a trace I vet may find Of boyhood in his look er tone; A glance, an accent to remind Me still of hopeful visions gone. His mother's amile may reach we, when We hold each other band in hand; His mother’s voice may ech then A blessing from the spirit iund.

The boat comes on; a minute more She'll grate npon the beach. And see Who rises now to spring on shore? Who waves his cap aloft? ‘Tis he! No more I look iu wistfal doubt, As iu the man the child appears , His earnest gaze. his joyfal shout, Have bridged that Japse of tweaty years. es

AN IRISH TALE.

During the past autumn, my lucky stare and a weakness for grouse, led me into the wilder | dietrictsof Mayo. Rverything around wore the stamp and gloss of novelty ; the clharme of ite savage soonery and the simple habits display- ed by a thinly scattered peasantry delighted me, and day after day I rambled over woun- tain and moss as happy a@ a king. f had contrived to pick up @& faithful, tattered, cheerful rasoxl, who, with considerable ability, served me as guide, valet aud sport. Ing attendant

fhe Mountain rangee north of Clew Bay were my favourite haunts; where 1 rambied for days together, now adding an old etuger to the bay’, now listening to sume of Pat's in- terminabls tales, ae f jay stretched on the heather in delicious idleness. One day to- wards the middle of September, the eport promised to de nnusually good; a strong pack had been flushed, and few to- wards the higher ranges of the hills. As we followed, a thick must spread over the moor, worked itself into rain, which, gradually Waxing heavier and heavier—by the time we reached the summit—came down in 6 etyle creditable evea to Connaught. With difficulty I struggled against it.

‘This will never do; we must fiod a shel- ter.’

* Come along, then, yer honor ; [ can soon plaze ye.’

{ pushed on with renewed hope and energy. crossed « shoulder of the mountain, and in a few minutes more found myself safely lodged in whut Put averred to be * a parlour fit for any geotieman ' My companiun cast a satis- fied glance at the stout rock overhead, as if perfectiy safe under ite protegtion, lit bis pipe, and opened the conversation. * i could tel} yer honor something ahout this place if ye'd be plazed to hear. May be ‘t would help to pase the time till the day clears off.’ it nee*aurdiy be said thatI gladly assented, and wh:let thé heavy drops pattered without in uncei tain monotony, Pat related tale, of which the following is the substance.

On a iovely day late in the autumn of 1798, two persone sauntered along the flowery ade of Maune Tomas. The wild district seemed fawiliar, for their steps led them niore and more distant from the rough mountain track, which at that time forined the only coimmuni- cation between Erria and the more inhabited district of the south. The wanderers, not- withstanding the many obstacles the route presented, etill advanced stoutly towards the crest of the myuntain, and well they wight, for both were young, and one was besutifol, and around them it was not difficult to see hovered a sweet spirit, making their feet light and their hearts gay. Need I say the epirit’s nume was Love.

Following their eteps with a dignity and gravity worthy of bis aristocratio origin, was a fine specimen of the Irish wolf-hound—a race even taen rare, and now nearly extinct. After the extermination of the savage beast they were go instrumental in destroying. the breed was negleoted, but still a few families. proud of old sports and old times, preserved some noble specimens, and Wolf, even in the palmy days of hie race, could hardly have been matched for beauty and strength For a tine the ascent was continued in silence, till the lady, laying her hand on ber lover's arm, said >

*Can you be so cruel as to refuse uy Te- quest ?’

‘Nay, dearest,” he replied gaily, ‘1 have little to confess. You know | threw up the commission I held in the Austrian service, travelled through Germany an} Prance as faet as horsefleeh and had roade permitted, reached Brest, embarked in the cutter of that moet respectable free-trader, Juques Coulin, and—and-- '

* And you found,” ssid the lady, her eyes Gilling at the rewembrance, ‘a ailly gir] with * heart unchanged by time or sbsenoce, sitting in the very chamber where she parted, tive years before, froma wild boy gving to win name and fame in foreign lands. Bot you trifle with me, and love aide deceit, Do you atill recuse my petition .

‘Rave I rot told you all?" he answered, moved by her evident distress.

+ No, no, na?’ she replied eagerly. * You have not, | fear much, but hope more. Oh! if you knew what I have suffered gince your return. Ewen by day, with you at wy side, heavy forebodings orush my heart; hut in the long nights, fear anc: deepair are my councillors, the gibbet and the rebel's grave are ever before me. But now »# brighter day seeme at hand; it ie the agony of hope | can no longer endure in rilence. Have pity and tell me allesll. I can bear the worst ‘far better than the sore agguieh of this ter- rible uncertainty.’

Fondly encircling the waist of the agitated girl, in # voice where anxiety and tenderness were strangely combined, he suid :

*No want of trast in you, my Kathleen, has bitherto kept me eilent. 1 would have spared you & knowledge whioh may hereafter become dangerous confidence which mulice or falsehood may torture into participation. A painful theme should beshort. Treturned fall of faith and enthnsisem; [ met our leaders; expected talent, unity, and jofty aime, and found discord, petty motives, and base ends. Foner perturb them like tbe heroes of sidtrath found them little eles than selfish ddemsgogues and rained prodigals ; conspirators without plans, and redele with hardly a wrong tocextenuate rebeliion. Such were my hopes, euch my experience. The cause ig which [ wae unbappily engaged to longer seemed the cane of liberty, certeinly not the o€spring of pecessity.

voice guivering with emotion. ‘men cannot now gall my Hector rebel. 1 dared not hope so wuch; and yet since thore hurried and mysterious movements, those midnight wan- | derings, bave ceased, my heart has grown lighter; and ob! Hector’—she gave him her ‘hands, whilst emiles and tears contended for | the mastery, and as if to hide her emotion— ‘even dear old Wolf knowa my happiness, and comes to share it.”

A very important personage in his way was Wolf, who when apoetrophised was en- gaged in thrusting hia huge head into the hand of bis mistress. The lovers now stood on the summit of the mountain, and were gazing with intense delight on the glorious scene around. Doubly beautiful, however, ie the beautiful to the eyes of youth and love ; how matchless then must be the blue and fer off distance, the mountain peaks around and beneath, the many lukes, the mighty ocean, have eeemed, They stood rooted to the spot, each pointing out again and again to the other fresh charms in the page of nature whieh lay stretehed before them. The mere romantig cid not seem to possess any very powerful charm for Woll, for after etanding some time by the side of bis friends, souffing the sweet mountain air, he walked deliberately to a neighbouring patch of whin, to seek some small amusement on his own account. Presently a deep musi- cal note was heard, and the hound (dushing werrily through tie furse, all golden in ite autumpal splendour) evar and anon tossed hie head, and uttered the same prolonged note as before. The whole matter was per- fectly clear to Hector, who, advancing to- wards the dog, cheered him till the mountain heights echoed again, as a fox broke ouvert. The run was short, for Reynard was gvon at home, and the disappointed Wolf, sitting down before the stronghold of his enemy. solaced himself ty scraping the loose soil from the masses of rock that formed the en- trance. Hither Hector led Kathleen, who smiled at the impotent spite o! her favourite, and jaughingly encouraged him in the hope- jess task of unearthing the roanaway. Not- withstanding these taunts, Wolf continued hie labours with great diligence, and at length succeeded in detaching a few stores of moderate size, when suddenly a huge frag- ment of rock (so long held in its position by thoes slight wedges) stooped forward and glided from its position, shot past Kathleen and her lover with increased momentum and thundered downwards toward the valley. The aperture thas disclosed proved the en- trance toa cave, which became higher end wider towards the interior; afd whilst Kath- leen found beauties in the massive and rudeiy grained roof. and many a_ playful likeness for the more projecting points, szulk- ing like fabled monsters in congenial gloom, Hector surveyed the place with ao air of thoughtful sadness.

* Dearest Kathleen,” he said, ‘ths time inay not be far distant when [, like poor Reynard, may have to fly from enemies too powerfui to tace Should it be so, think of to-dayy and forget not this lonely refuge on Maune Tomas.’

The moon was up and riding over the fleeey olouds. which a sott west wind sent to meet ber; now half tid. and anon Sursting from her obscurity in double brigiutness, like & brave spirit struggling with the trials and sorrows of life, triumphing over all. A thousand starry jamps, too, were shining over the heavena, but on earth, as far as the eye could reach over the green islets of Clew Buy, and along its winding shore, only one was visible, and that sparkled in the hospit- able mansion of Terenve «'' Malley, Kach- leen’s father. Ancestors who had exercised western conviviality in ite tullest extent, bad likewise dissipated much of the ovee princely territory of the O’Malleys, and the muster, whose forefathers were almost the lords of all they surveyed, possessed only the old house on the margin of the bog. with a few thousand acres of mountain and moor. But little dared the old man for their lose, aa he gazed fondly ou the emiling face of bis child, and saw there @ treasure far beyond junds and lordships.

A pleasant picture of home and happiness did they present, seated in that old room (it is roofless now); the eparkling bog dea! fire, lighting op ite remotest cornere, and shedding its brightest lustre on the sleeping Wolf, the silvery locke of the old map and the youth(ul forme of those who loved so well.

‘But one more song, Heotor, and then good night.’

A guitar, ap instrument then but little known in the more remote distr:ots of Ire- land, lay on the table. Hector’s foreign education had made him familiar with ite use, and running hie Gagere over the strings with a light touch, he glanced the while at a sedate-looking Dutch clock, performing a very monotonous kind of solo in the opposite extremity of the apartment, and sang with considerable taste the following :

The fierce eagerness of tha ruffian defeated his object, for as he pulled the trigger hia hand faltered, and the ball only grased the side of the intended victim. ifector sprang’ forward and delivered a sweeping blow with the butt end of hie pistol on the villian’s head, and Mike Daly fell bleeding and senseless to the ground. Hill and dale, mountain and moss were ecoured in vain , the fugitive had escaped, and Mike Daly, ‘ov, had vanished.

But who was Mike Daly? Mike was agent to the O'Malleys, 80 had been his father and grandfather to former heade of the family; but there was Ove striking ference between them, for whilst they in the diseharge of their office had gained wealth, love, aod bonour, Mike was universally hated.

Kathleen, when Heotor left her for foreign service, was just bursting into wowanly per- fection, and never did @ aweeter Sud produce a fairer flower. Mike was attracted by her beauty, and though he knew ber heart was another's, stil] he sought her. Had she not loved, she would have rejected him with scorn, for her ears had eince childhood been open to the tales of the pearantry ; and who ever spoke a good word for Mike? As it was, she refused hin with womanly grace and dignity, but peremptorily and firmly, aad Mike never renewed his suit.

Dark wae the night and loud piped the wind when Kathleen struggled up the glen on her holy mission of love. Her heart beat fast. lt were idle to say she felt no fear, bat her terrors were all vague and undefined. Yet her purpose never faltered, aod she pressed forward from each fresh alarm faster than before. Twice she fancied some one followed her ateps. She lietened, but the beatings cf her heart were alune audibie, and on, on, she pressed, for love and hops iay be- fore. The glen wae neariy passed: before lay the bull side, light and pleasant by com- pariaon with che path she had hitnerto fol- lowed. On, then, poor pilgrim, love 'eshrine is nearly won! :

‘ Stand!’ said a rough voice, at the same mowent thet a heavy band was laid on her shoulder.

Poor Kathleen had been painfully excited by the anxiety she had eo recently undergone. The darknes and diffoulties of the route, the situation go lonely, her Jover’s fate so uncer- tain, had all contributed to tax her powerato the uttermost ; but this lagsrerror completely overoame her, and, with a shriek wilder and more piercing than the wintry etwrm, ehe attempted to rueh on.

‘Stuy, girl,” said the same voice close to her sar; * Mike Daly must thank hie gaide tor conducting bim so far towards the rebel’s hiding-place.

‘Come; the prieste ready. I fear you won't like yoar new home; but thea if not handsome ‘tis secure—ovme.’

Paralyzed by terror Kathleen, sick and faint, gased vwacantly in lie face. Every ruffanly passion in Mixe'e heart was fully roused, and seiging hie viotim, he litted her in his arms and bore her ewitidy off towards the deeper solitudes of the mountains.
