Tho farmer lait the house anti ran uu io tba blacksmith's forge, where the smith and his son were getting to work. "Mart?n, I'm ina great hurry, goin' to the fair, an' ?, want ye to run over wild HO mo th in' tu out a chain for me; 'twon't take voa five minutes. Martin, yuu uiTtBTsdnr a 'tJettbor' dBy'B wurlrrin ?'our life, if you'll ^me as fast as y er ega "'ll carry ye!" Ho said thin in an tinder tone while tho. eon's . back ' was turned/"and whisht for all sakes I" he added, clenching bia hand, and an'O?ng it nt the une on ac iou? young Vulcan; t*>?n herushed ont, leaving the father grasping a bar of iron and Blaring after him.. - The smith, with the freemasonry that exists among the Irish peasantry, per cei ved that there was secrecy and trouble in the way, and that his good faith was relied on. He pioked up somo tools, muttered an excuse to his son, and fol? lowed hastily. When Pat Moran reaohed home he was met at the door by Hate. "Is he safe ?" -"Yes, father, he's in the room at in a bit" Her father went in, and, going up to his strange guest, said: "I'm goin' to do what I can for you, Tim." Then they all began discussing eagerly the best way for the fugitive to take. "But, Lord! The whole counthry'll be roused af ther him 1" broke in the farmer, dejectedly, as they suggested various lonely bill-paths and cross-cuts. "Lord! they'll root np the ground after bim 1 I must thry though, I must th ry. Heaven mend me ! Aff I didn't lave the horses all this time, an* uiver," he ejaculated, catching sight of his forgotten team, who had dragged the plough after them to the adjoining meadow, and were grazing there. A sudden thought struck bim, and ho hastily returned to the boase with his face flushed. As he entered the kitchen he ran against the smith, Martin Leary, who was staring about him. "Martin, you're thrue an' honest, I know, hn' you'd do a good turn as soon as any noan I know," said Pat Moran, abruptly. . ?jaI "There* mehar/d on it," returned the smith, bringing down his black fist on the other's shoulder. In a few words be was told "what was required of him, and also of tho bright thought that had just occurred to Pat Moran. "Here ! Let mo at it," cried the smith, enthusiastically grasping his chisel and hammer,- Thereupon the farmer led him into the little room, where Kate'.was. ad? ministering hot tea and smoking grid-, die-cake to the poor fellow, who ato and drank almost mechanically, with his eyes fixed on tho pretty face and busy -. hands that administered to him. "Here, Tim, 's some one to do you a good turn. Hould ont your hands, me boy! Peggy," turning to his wife, who was devoutly groaning and telling her beads in the ooruer, "go an' get my old clothes; au', Kitty, run for that yellow clay in the kitchen garden! Bun!" She did as she was bid, and when she return? ed with the clay, was desired to keep out of the room for a few minutes. "Mother, honey, whatare they doing?" she inquired. "Sorra bit o' me knows, acushla. O n'y your father has some plan in bis bead I Oh! Kitty, agra, I'm thrimbliu to think of the throuble he may be gitten into Ooh, Pat, honey, what are ye goin' to do at all ?" she cried, addressing ber hus? band, who oame out of-the bed-room, dressed in his best blue swallow-tailed coat, corduroys, and new gray stock? ings. "I'm goin' to show this new survint boy where he's to plough, afore T go to the fair," said the farmer, with a wink tc the two women, who stared open-eyed at the change of tho condemned man, with the fatal prison garb dripping with mud and sand, and fettered Wrists,-into a careless, easy-going looking young la? borer, in a suit of well-worn and patched frieze and corduroy, dirty and clayey, with lumps .of olay sticking ou "his brogues, a rakish "caubeen" slouched over his eyes, and a black "dhudeeu' between his lips. "Now come on ! 'Tis timo you wer? at your work; his name's Maurice Slat tery, Kato, an' he's wud us this monti back !" "Oh, father, honey ! Oh, Pat, sou shin !" cried the wife and daughter witl admiration. The young man, taking the pipe fron his mouth, said solemnly, "May Ood fo: iver bless you, Pat Moran, an' you, Mrs Moron, nn' you, Kato, an you, Martii Leary," and ho grasped their bands al round. - "Come, 'tis six o'olook," said thi farmer. "You know whore the plougl is, Maurice Slattery. An', Kate, you'r< to bury thom olothos. Come, un' I'l show you where." Half an hour afterwards, he was ridin) slowly to tho fair on his young horse which was to be Bold, casting cant iou glances backward at tho field by th river, whoro he could see his horse ploughing, and his now servant boy toil ing quietly after them. * * * * Such confusion and oxcitement had not been known for years In the old oar thedral town. Police, there were none in those days; buf, the -whole garrison had been turned dtit in search of the es? caped felon'. GW?ps of red-coate pe? rambulated the Btroets, tho roads leading to tho country, and1 erren the lanes and meadows. Huudreds of country folk, who had come, Itt to ace toe execution, also crowded th? town. The throng ion the prison hill waa so dense that th? farmer could scarcely proceed a step. They were all. talking vociferously, in Irish and English-every bile giving his orber version of tho wonderful story. Some declared that the prisoner had not escaped j and that'it was a device by the authorities to conceal .Some ..foul play. When Pot MO ran hud < elbowed his way with great difficulty, almost* to the pri? son gates', bo looked eagerly for the ob-, jeots of h is I search-JQBstf of -Tim's own people, whom he. discovered sitting and standing together in an excited group. "Pat Moran, dye 'bleeve this?" said one of the me?, hoarsely, clutching the farmer's ooat. "D'ye bleeve that, poor Tim has got out of their cursed thrap?" "John Welsh, Tim'-did-get ont!" ' - . "Whist!. Lord save ns!" they all broke in, with okra voice. '"Tisu't safe to say moro. I'm tbrim blin that some of them fellers wid the brass buttons will hear me," glancing toward the turnkey, dimly visible behind the iron grating; "but you, John Welsh, an' you, Mick Power, come wud a our to-night, to the cross-roads beyant tho ferry, at 12 o'clock, ah' there'll be a friend to seo you. Whist, for your 80Wlsl" The prison warders were not long in discovering by what means the captive hud effected his'escape,', and from tho opening the search was carried above ground to tho month of the sower where it emptied itself into tho river., A ven? turesome spirit even- crept up a fow dozen yards of tho black passage, but speedily returned, vowing that nothing could live an hour in it. Nevertheless, they sought for foot-marks on the river brink; but the friendly tide had been before thom. Still, on tho supposition that he might have lived to reach the river and swim across, a party of prison o&cials and soldiers wero ferried over, and marched in a body to Farmer Mo? ran's house. Kate was busy feeding chickens, and her mother peeling potatoes, when they both caught sight of the gleam of scar? let and white cross-belts, and heard loud tones and footsteps. "Lord, be good and marciful to us evermore, amin! Protect and save us!" mutter?d Peggy Moran, dropping the potato she was peeling, and turning with a face of terror to her daughter, who whispered, without turning her head "Mother, darlin', don't purtond any? thing, for all aakes. Ohuoky, chncky! Chuck, chuck, chucki" "she went on, raising her voice gaily, as she scattered the food. "Servant, sir," she said, wiping her hands, and curtseying to a tall stout of? ficer, who strode up;to tho door, scatter? ing the chickens by tho clanking of his spurs and sword. ? "Is this Farmer Moran's, my good girl?'' "Yes, sir." "Are you his daughter?" "Yes, sir; and this is my mother." "Where's your husband, -'Mrs. Mo? ran?" said tho officer, turning to the poor woman, who was endeavoring to look calm. ' - "At tho fair, sir. Oh, sure, 'tisn't got .into any harm Pat has;' sir?". "What harm should heget into; about this runaway prisoner, you mean?" said the officer, trying to startle her into some admission. "What mau, sir?" cried Kate.. "Law, mother, honey! That's what the boy was telling us!" "What boy?" said the-officer, now od his guard. "A boy, sir-oh! a ra'al little chap-fl gossoon-run in' here a while ago an' said the man that's to be hung's got out an' run nway-an* Sure we didn't bleeve bimi" said Kate, with such an air of self possession and innocent inquisitiveness, that the officer was completely deceived. A boy had como in as sho had said, and told tho wonderful story, so sho told the truth in that part of her assertion. "Well, Mrs. Moran," said the officer, "you've no objection; to have-your pre? mises searched, I suppose? It is SUS' peoted that the prisoner is hidden some? where about here." "Musha, what put that in yere heads?" said Peggy Moran, angrily. "Faith! it's somethin' else wo'd be thinking of, nn not meddlin' wud the law; but you're welcome to aarch away, sir, as long os y( like, only it's a quaro thing to have an honest man's house searched like f rogue's!" "I must do my duty," said the officer. "Sure tho" gintiemnn won't do us anj hurt, mother," said Kate. "Please don't let 'em thrample the potatoes, sir!" slit called out, as the mon turnod into the lit tie garden." Pat Mornu's words were almost ful filled, that tho pursuers would root ur. tho ground in search of the fugitive. No a bush or a hollow about the ground, no a loft or cranny in the house or out building, but; was thoroughly iuvestigat ed. At last, with a sickening feeling o: apprehension, Kate saw tho band dis? perso themselves over tho fields, nut three soldiers run across the plougbec field to question the man who wai ploughing. Welsh's blood ran cold as ho BOW then coming; but recollecting that they du not know his face, he glanced over hi: shoulder, and shoiftB'd'in a feigned voic< to tho horsos. Tho soldiers wero young and careless They morely asked two or three quos tions, in na irrelevant way, staring up a tho sky, nod down at tho clay, as if tho^ expected to discover the prisoner trans formed into a spirit of earth or air ! Then they ran off again, and Weis] j breathed freely until he spied six othe . . - . 'iii i-^fr \ soldiers advancing toward him, with the officer in eharge, and two others in dark frock coats, with Bhining hattons and red collars. I .KJodtfbJelivme!r .Sare,,Ican^only 4ieL'' i he mhrintt?l. ? A^KX^X' "Howlong have yon been ploughing?" said the officer. "Seaee daybreak, sir. Woa!, An' hard work I have had; every ono runnin" to me aence breakfast, axin' me did I aee the man that run away. Steady, there !" The laborer sulkily keeping his back to? ward the prison warders. 1 "Ho is supposed to have swam the river," said the officer; "and if so, and you have boen hore since daybreak, ho could not have got over without you seeing him." "Sorra haporte I see, sure; if ho did; an' he must be a brave swimmer, to come aer?os that river this time o' year, un' the wather like ice," said the plough-boy, with an incredulous grin; "sorehe might land down farther, it's a grad'a'al narrar, but anyhow I see nothin'-Conshume ye, straight !" he growled at tho horse, and bending double over the plow, furrowed on. The officer called his men hurriedly back to tho country rood. . Tho ' long day drew to a elose, and when Kate came to call the plough-boy to his supper, whispering that there was no one in but her father and mother, he. felt as if he had lived a life-time in the. past twenty-four hours. The farmer laughed heartily in telling some of the stories which wero rife about the prisoner's disappearance. His body had been picked up four miles down the river, his clothes liad been fonnd by a turnkey under a bnsb, and his handcuffs had been picked up-filed half across-in a bog ten miles away. "Faith, I bursted laughin'," said Pat Moran, "when I knew that Martin Leary had them welded into linch-pins, and that Katy had the clothes buried in last year's manure hope!" So they ohatted pleasantly and secure? ly, while the rescued man sat silent from thankfulness nnd gratitude, only casting side looks at Kate and sighing heavily. "Musho, man, don't bo sighin'!" cried the farmer, jocosely; "3'ou'll be kickin' up yer heels at your weddin* in Ameriky this time twelvemonth, piase God!" "No, Mister Moran, PH never marry any one in Ameriky," answered Welsh. Kate got up to put on fresh fuel im? mediately. "Och, never fear, you will," replied tho farmer, with good-natured obtuse ness. "Musha, Mi6ther Moran, 'tisn't every man 'nd give his daughter to ono like me," said Welsh, in a low tone. "Arran, Tim, agra, who'd think thu worse o' yon for having got into trouble an' got out again?" pursned the farmer. "Ah, 'tisn't every ono is like you," said Welsh, sighing. "Oh, sure no ono will know anything in Ameriky, Tim ; that's where you'ro goin' I suppose?" said Mrs. Moran, gravely and coldly. "Yes, ma'am," answered Welsh. "I hope so." Tho good woman was far more acute than her husband, and disliking tho turn tho conversation was taking, began to introduce other; topics; but with little success, as her husband grow sleepy and stupid, Kate sat quito silent, and Welsh was sad. Thus, they sat until 12 had struck, und then Welsh and tho farmer rose, to walk on to the cross roads, where tho car was to be in readiness, with his relatives.as convoy and body-guard. . Wolsh shook Mrs. Moran's hard hand and kissed it in tho fulness of his emo? tion, uttering broken words of gratitude and blessing. Then he turned to Kate, who was weeping silently; he strove to speak, but words failed him, and he grasped her hand passionately and turn? ed away. "I'll shut tho gate aftherye," said Kate, following them out into the darkness. So she did, and Welsh delayed a mo? ment, helping her to find the loop and staple, probably; though ho strove to.pnt a'few hasty words together, which had no reference to tho gate. "Keep up yere heart, Kate, agra," ho whispered; "I'll send ye a let h er whin "I get safe over, piase God !" Welsh sailed for England in a small coasting vessel, and thence from Liver? pool, where he remained concealed for somo weeks until tho ardor of tho pur? suit nf tor him had abated, he embarked on board a fast sailing vessel-for there were no steamers in those days-for America. Whoo ho landed, ho sought the homo of a relative who had been set? tled in tho new country for some years, aud by industry and strict honesty-for the dreadful lesson taught him wns not Wasted-he very soon became independ? ent of his cousin, and liad bis own snug house and thriving farm. He wrote regularly to the Morans; to tho father first, then to tho.mother, und lastly to tho daughter. When he had amassed a little money he wrote again to the farmer, telling tho astonished man bis hopes aud wishes concerning Kate. Peggy M?ran angrily declared her hus? band to have been blind all along-as tliero is no doubt he was-but she posi? tively refused to listen for a moment to tho audacious snitor. However, "time works wonders." Her violent opposition died away gradually, nnd Kate waited patiently. At tho end of live years, her father hoing then dead, she and her mother departed for the laud beyond tho sea. This . uo story was related to the writer by a gray-haired widow, au Irish emigrant who had returnoc1, after many years, from America, to dio at homo. Though her form was bent by tho weight of moro than soventy years, her memory was clear and retentive, and her voice trembled and her dim blue eyes sparkled, ns of yore, with excitement in her recital of tho perils undergone by Welsh, the lover of her youth, and tho fond and faithful husband whoso joys and sorrows she had shared for forty years. And now sho had como homo to die in tho little cottage by the river where she had first known him, and where she had first sue cored bim in the boar ai hi? danger and distress, "On'y it's a poor thing to think that I can't share his grave in the church? yard where his people lie," concluded tho widow, sadly, "but bless Qod, we'll sobs meet a gai a.!' \{\ '.',v v Wine Bottles. mk?~\ GROSS Wine Bottles, for ?ale by IaU Fob 1<_E. & G.
