The Lady Ooiiali's Ride.
BY A. M.
A bundredyenrsao the Lady OoDab
lived in her father's castle in Cotine-
marfli
Where is Cotihetnara ?
CoDDemara is in Connaugbt in the
west of Ireland -where the fcfcoteA-Irish
don't come frotn.
She was very fair and altogether
loVeable, from the top of her aubnrn
cnrls to the tip of the No. 1 slipper,
and it wan wonderful to behold how
little she seemed to be spoiled with the
praises and the devotion of the house
hold, one and all striving tvbo should
do the most to please her. She had
many a suitor, to be sure, but beiDg tbe
only daughter, and her mother dead
too, poor girl, she bad prevailed with
her father, Lord Allan McNamar, not
to hurry her wedding before 6be was of
age; for all in her own mind she was
resolved, if it could be so, to marry for
true love or live single all her life long.
But it seemed to her friends that she
was very particular.
Every gentleman whe, according to
the custom of those days, proposed to
the father for her, wns willing to take
her, even without a fortune; but for
her part, every evening when her con
fidential maid. Kittv. was bruahiup1 out
her beautiful curls, she would make the !
same remark of the lastgentleman that
she made of the first
"Indeed, Kitty, I never can like him
at alL"
To her father she was more reserved,
aomt times even expressing a slight
pleat ure when a suit r of higher rank
appeared, but that was just to please
the old lord, Kitty knew very wll, for
she had beard her say many a time,
that' "True love was a patent of no
bility, and the highest rauk she could
covet in a husband was the rank he
would hold above herself when she be
came his wife."
But time brought on the Lady Oo
nah's twenty-first birth-day, regardless
of the fart that he had not yet provided
the ideal lover.
" To-morrow spe's twenty-one, and
since she was sixteen I've been bother
ed with effers. This one now makes
fifteen all named and numbered, good
meu and true, every one of them, but
not a bit of me knows if she favors anv
the Pinto I" quoth Lord Allan Mc
Namar; bat thea be did not mention
the one down yonder by so genteel a
title; indeed he generally called what
ever he spoke of by its everyday name '
without troubling his Latin, or Greek
either, for that matter.
"Weill I wish it were over with,
Johanna! Bid the Lady Oouah come
here to me."
Lord Allan fooked very fierce, ns he
wheeled round in his easy chair away
from his writing tuble, fairly bristling
with documents.
The last suitor was Lord Fergus Mc
Ferguson, of equal rank, of fair educa
tion and good parts.
Lord Allan approved of him so hearti
ly that he pnrposedin his mind to make
formal mention to his daughter of none
other, for why should choosing of bus
bauds be left to slips of girls at all?
She was pretty enough to dream
about, as she entered the room: her
head hahgingdowu a trifle, for she more
than half suspected what was coming;
but when Lord Fergus was named to
her she dropped down, like a lily just
snapped off the stem, and what with
cryiug and fainting, she was a handful
to manage, as the old people say; and
it was a day never to be forgotten in
the servants' ball, for though Lord Al
lan's retainers took the" usual lively in
terest of those important functionaries,
in his domestic affairs, it was seldom
they got I heir curiosity so welt satisfied.
Lord Allan was greatly surprised and
angry enough, too, though he kept his
mind to himself, for that time, but the
next day be sent a long letter to the
Lady Oonab telling her to make np her
mind to one of three bo named to her,
or be'd advertise her fortune; a way
they used to do in those days to match
great fortunes, when suitors weren't
plenty. i r .V '.
:A formal statement, well written and
fair signed, that the girl's fortune
amounted to so ! many pounds, and
whoever could match the fortune might
have-the lady; ' Not IhatXord -Allan
meant to do- anything sot dreadful: be
only wanted to frighten her out of her
headstrong notions. . , j
Down - the rode oak stairway came
the Lady Oonab with the open letter
in . her hand, ber Lair boating . like a
great cloud about her, her eyes, blading
wit h .determination; baft there was a
quiet air about ber, r too. She had
made np her mind to aomethine. Lord

So tbev shook hands and made friend's
and she kissed the old man very ten
derly, for. she bad a thought in ,ber
breawt, that that day two weeks he
would be looking at, her rnaDglfd form;
for she meant to die sooner than mar
ry, and her plan was made. t
There were three ditches to pass in
the ride deep and steep 'enough any
way at the best, but she put them iu
care of Barney Buccleugb, a fellow
whose dreams, day arid night, were of
fox hunting and,' steeple chasing, and
shillalah fightiug, and whose best expe
rience was iu .digging ditches, and
watching these sports as pursued by
other people. ' .
Barney received bis directions, and
bis mistress knew very well that the
love of sport would make him be secret
and do ber bidding, and bis want of
perception would prevent him from
suspecting anything impossible in the
taking ot the ditches, deepened and
heightened by l:er directions.
" Your ladyship,' said Kitty. " The
draper's young man is below to meas
ure you for your new riding habit. I
can't help saying be gave me a surprise,
for euch a young man in such a busi
ness, I never saw in all my life before.
He looks like duke, at the least Mis
ter Diarmid O'Donbghuel"
' Show him up," said Lady Oonab,
trying to btnile; " I have heard of the
family. They claim to have been no
ble, by old Irish law, but that's so far
out that English peers" regard their
claims with less respect than an Ameri
can feels for an Indian chief. Perhaps
he'll do for a duke for yon, Kitty."
All the same, she was quite unpre
pared for the beauty of young Diar
mid, as be modestly entered the room
He was but little taller than herself,
and not more than a year or two older.
His eyes were as blue as her own-bis
complexion as tender.
Students of art might have thought
of Diana and Apollo, if they had be
held that meeting. "They look like
twins: God bless us!" thought the as-
tonished Kitty
Thev " chanered eves" on the 8 Dot.
though all unconsciously to themselves.
They felt as if they remembered each
other, though they said nothing about it.
For Diarmid, he left ber presence as
happy as if be had just been crowned
King of Ireland and had just rolled old
England over and down to the middle
of the sea.
He didn't know at first why be was
so happy, yet when he considered about
it, he thought it was reasonable that
any one who met the Lady Oonab and
bad sight to behold and brains to per
ceive, might be glad all their life long
that God had created sncb loveliness
to adorn the earth.
So lofty and so pure, were the
thoughts of Diarmid O'DoilJghae.
For the Lady Oonab, she no longer
mourned over the fearful death she was
contemplating. Joy filled ber soul as
the light of morning fills the world at
sunrise; but tender, subdued and tran
quil, so much so that she did not even
suspect that it was the sight of Diar
mid, which had comforted her heart.
Indeed she did not eveu say one
word to Kitty about him, but chatted
gayly of every other subject which rose
before her mind.
If she bad understood herself better
it would have made no 'difference in
her determination. Such a misalliance
would have, been the least of her inten
tions. Two weeks parsed away.
"To-day!" said Lady Oonab, and
nhe sighed, but her resolution remain
ed as firm as steel. The riding habit
had arrived the evening before. It was
pronounced perfect in every respect.
It was of pale green velvet, trimmed in
dark green of the same material, and
gold luce; while the long, pale green
plumes of the hat fairly shone like a
sun-burst with gold tasseling; for Diar
mid said, when be was planning the
habit ' She shall be dressed like the
spirit of old Erin herself,-and the gold
buttons were ornamented with Irish
harps, as beautiful as jewels, every one.
During these two weeks Diarmid had
lived and moved in a conscious ideal
presence of the Lady Oonab. : Tbrilfed
from bead to foot; with the most exqui
6ite delight in contemplating his mem
ory of that memorable day, when she
naa risen in nis me use tuestar oi tue
morning, vet all unconscious that he
' -a w at ' 'maw
had dared to love her with that peer
less passion which comes but once to
any human soul.
He came walking across the fields
this bright October morning the day
of .Lady Oonah's ride, as fresh as a
rose, and as trim as a holly bush, mer
rily whistling back to the linnets and
thrushes piping o themselves in every
ties. . r ;: ;; ! ; ;
He stood for a moment on the top
of a green" knoll, looking, for all the
world, like tbeUeuius of morning; then
with a quick-step and a-ran, he was
just about to spring over the first of the
ditches which Barney, had been doc
toring. r :-. ' -.' : I", 'Y,
"HoM on 1 Hold on MLder Diar

His bead felt di2zy with the despair
of his heart.
The cold perspiration bedewed his
brow. Ho was another being in his
agony. For her motive was perfectly
plain to him, exceptiug in one particu
lar. Poor fellow I He thought she
would never have despaired so deeply,
if she had not known all the time, what
he had just found out that love had
knit their souls as one,' since the mo
ment they looked on each other,,
This thought filled bis whole exist
ence with a pain too cruel for mortal
endurance, only it was as sweet as life,
at the same time.
After a little he came to himself
to go and take a look at the
other ditches, to see if they were really
as deep and wide as Biruey represent
ed, for Barney had said, " The second
gap ia wider than the first, and the last
is as wide , as both t gether. More
over be bad added that the Jjady
Oonah bad been out there the day be-
bre and prouounced them all right.
It was true enough. The first ditch
wag a fearful path to pass over. The
second could hardly be taken, but the
third was a grave for horse and rider
who madly ventured to cross its gulf.
" She might as well face the sea it
self," 6aid poor Diarmind, turning his
mournful eyes to the Connemara cliffs,
standing dark and silent, like frozen
giants, by the bleak sea-side to the
west of the riding field.
As be gazed he smiled; his resolu
tion was taken, and it was none t-K
- 'a
soon; lor over the country, now, be
could see the splendid train of gentry
come proudly on. Gay ladies with
their brilliant attendants, in full hunt
ing costume, to do nonor to tue day.
Pranoiog liorsca ami noble riders,
sweeping with merry shout on on
to the first chasm. Lady Oonah at
their bead, mounted on her favorite
horse, " Felix," with her father. Lord
Allan McNamar, at her pide, Lord Fer
gus, Lord Melrose, and the Hon. Mr.
Barton, the son of au English M. P.,
close behind, aud half the county at
their heels. Diarmid was hajf blind
as he watched. On on- liko a whirl
wind the leap -the leap she has
cleared it but Oh ! some one else has
cleared it, .too and -ves some one
has fallen, but little the lady seems to
heed. Fast as an arrow she , flies on,
and fast behind, whocomes?
Who comes? the Englishman the
sdssenagh 1" screams Diarmid, as he
nerves himself for bis task, and stands
in readiness, though concealed, by the
side of the second gap. She rose to
the spring, like a linnet ou the wing;
one arm I 6econd uorse ana laay
trembled iu mid-air di4 they roll down
into the yawning gorge below . No
The lady kept her seat, and the noble
animal clung desperately to the edge
of the acclivity.
Swift as thought, powerful and grace
ful as Apollo himself, came Diarmid to
the assistance of both. "I thank you,
young man 1" cries the Englishman,
from the other side.
" Keep yonr thanks to yourself, Sas
senagh 1" shouted Diarmid.
" O, Diarmid, what have voa done ?
Why have you saved my life ? , It is of
no avail," 'said Lady Oonab, while two
tears as bright - as diamonds, fell oyer
her cheeks. "The, Englishman will
take this leap,, and when he does, I
must try the next. Ho is turning his
horse to breathe him; there is no hope.

But the Englishman didn't . seem in
clined to do it after all.
On ahe rode, direct for the cliffs, and
over them she went, too. '
There was, a crowd all along the
beach by this time.
She kept her seat, though, and Fe
lix" bore her up, though there was
little to be seen of ber, except ber hat,
and the horse's bead.
" 'Felix ' ia a brave horse. He will
save then both, if be holds out," was
the breathless comment of the gazers.
But there were busy bands ready, too,
and a boat was soon manned, and set
out for the struggling horse and lady.
She bad Diarmid by the head, hold
ing on to him, all bruised and bloody,
and half drowned, but alive for all that;
and three months later, when she her
self had nursed him well, at her own
father's castle, with the consent of Lord
Allan, and the good wishes even of
poor Lord Melrose, whose arm had
been broken in the ride, and nothing
made of it, there was a great wedding;
and Lady Oonah married the man of
hr heart.
How tt Mun Goes to Bed.
Speaking of how a man goes to bed,
an exchange says: " 1 There's where a
man has the advantage. He can tin
dress in a cold room, and have his bed
warm before a woman has got her hair
pins out and her shoes untied.' That's
how it looks in print, and this is bow
it is really: - 'I'm going to bed, tuy
dear. It's half past ten.' No reply.
Now, John, you know you're always
late in the morning. Do go to bed 1'
'Yea, in a minute,' he replies, as he
turns the paper inside out and begins
a lengthy article headed 'TheLouisiaua
Muddle.' Fifteen minutes later she
call from the bedroom: 'John oom
to bed and don't keep the gas burning
there all night !' and and murmuring
something about ' the bill being big
enough now,' she creeps beneath the
cold sheets, while John reads placidly
on, his feet across the piano stool and
a cigar in his mouth. By and by he
rises, yawns, stretches himself, throws
the paper on the floor, and, seizing the
shaker, proceeds to that vigorous exer
cise, shaking the coal stove. Just at
this stage a not altogether pleasant
voice inquires: 'For pity's sake! ain't
you ready, for bed, ; yet Yes, yes,
I'm coming! Why den't yoa go to
sleep and let a fellow alone ?' Then he
discovers that 'there is coal needed.
When that is supplied and rattled into
the stove, he sits down to warm his
feet. Next he slowly begins to undress;
and as be Btauds scratching himself,
and absently gazing on the last gar
ment dangling over the back of the
chair, he remembers that the clock is
not wooud yet. When! this is attended
to be wants a drink of water, and away
be promenades to the kitchen. Of
coarse, when he returns his skin re
sembles that of a picked chicken, and
once mora he seats himself before the
the fire for alast ' warm up.' As the clock
strikes twelve be tarns Oat the gas, and
with a flop of the bedclothes ' and a
