One day at the breakfast table we ere telling the various adventures a had heard of, and when my turn mo to speak I related this one. really to my surprise, one of the > intlcmon. a Mr. W , said to me: fl "You have told the main facts cor- 1 Ctly, hut you cannot know how 1 It, for 1 was the traveler who figures your story. 1 was a ministerof the ospcl, and, in the discharge of my ities, had to go near Harper's Ferry, bich was a dangerous locality at that no, for a railroad was in course of instruction thereabouts and there ere many rough and desperuto look g men working on it and living in 0 vicinit v.

J as bound to do as they suggested, bi it could not help wondering if 1 it iouUI ever get up again. Near them t; y two short drills and theso they ok up, but said nothing, i seemgly did not notice this and talked to ! icm about Ireland, for I saw at once J ey were Irishmen, and asked about eir families and everything 1 could link of to interest them. "At last 1 thought I would try u' o power of song, for iny voice bi as then considered tine, so 1 01 ng all the Irish songs I could link of. Still they seemed utrly unmoved and had the same icked look, and 1 felt that I did not ire move, did not daro bring about a ? isis yet. 1 then thought of one more ish song 1 knew, 'Tho Irish Emi- ? ant's lament,' and 1 sang it with all 10 pathos 1 could put into my voice id did nut omit a single verso. After j0 aging a short whileI saw theircounnances change, saw the muscles of ? icir faces twitch, saw their eyes fill itli tears, which soon rolled silently >wn their bronzed checks.
