THE IRISH MASSACRE OF 1641. From the defeat of the Gimpowdor I'M in 1605, until the 23d of October 1641, the Papists and the Protestants liv ed on the most intimate terms in Ireland. Both went publicly to their respective places of worship uaM that fatal itwrarnjr when one of the most heart-rendiux mas- nacres ever recorded on the pages of his tory toon juace. uowley JLanceUas, the historian, informs us, that upon the re pulse of O'Neil from the Camle of Ang her, he ordered " all the British Pretent- ants in three mljitcent parih to be put to the svwrd." Upon his defeat at Lis burn, Lord Caulfield, O'Neil's former host aim htty other prisoners were murdered. Others on pretence of forwarding them to the nearest JJrritish settlement, were goad ed forward like beasts of burden by their guards; some were enclosed in a house or in a castle, to which lire was set, with a savage indifference to their cries, and a henuish-like triumph over their expir ing agonies : borne were Some were drowned in the ! first river they arrived at. One hundred 'and ninety were at once thrown headlong from the bridge of Portadoum. Irish priests encouraged this deed by their presence. The very women, it is said, einbrued their hands in the blood of the slain ; even the children were seen plav- ing unconsciously with their feeble hands m gore; We will merely-refer, iu pasa ing, to a few of those tragic scenes.

I saw my mother's arms stiff en as with a spasm, as my father arose to open the door. I comprehended all now. I remembered the awful scene of yesterday, and knew that the white bun- I . ilm qLU aa k.Kto.. and that her cofhu was at the door. I prevented me. i . . My father took the small coffin in and laid it on a chair and again seated him self by the lire side, gazing furtively up on his wife, as bIic sat there with a look in her eyes he had never seen befora. After a while she got np, opened one of trm th.it a chest of drawers and took out a long white veil. I bad seen it a thousand times.' it was her mother's bridal-veil an old fashioned blond. It looked quite yellow and very soft, as she shook out the folds I saw that her thin hands trembled violently, and that she closed her eyes heavily; so heavily that I feared she would never open th'em again. 1 At last she raised their lids, oh f how dry and tearless they looked as she pass- " ed to her hiW'eotfif., opened tty and raid within the bridal-veil ot her mothers ! Softly she Smoothed' and patted it down, against the rough sides ot the little pind ' coffin, shedding no tears, but trembling all over .iike.au autumn leaf, beaten, ana torn by a bitter and bleak wind. She passed to the body of the murder- -, ed babe, anil drew the carering from ita gentle face. There was a cruel mark up on the snowy forehead1iind. mx.mpther covered it witlv her fumd as ehe lifted the child to her tooin. and carried it lovr, ingl v to its little bed. The small and d.nvT" pled hands were .folded meekly upon the unconscious and senseless breast of my darling sister. Aud as my poor mother lilted a corner df the rich veil and tried to hide the dark wound on the baby's forehead, something in the action broke broken and childish spirit. -I gathered the mde quilt of my little Jwi wy- hands, and held if temy month to 8tiffo(.Uet,aries I felt even then in my extremity pfjaiiguish to be cutting and stabbing ar'my mother's lacerated breast, like the repeated blows of a sharp, relent less knife. I realized erfectly that her heart was broken, and that my longings and aspirations after manhood for her sake, had been would be all in vain. She was passing away. The last star that shone upon my blank and solitary life, was going out, and I should be left in utter terrible darkness. - r Well thedav for the funeral came, and we followed the baby-corps to its resting place in the old church-yard, and left her there for a brief space alone. Why should I linger over my mother's rapid descent to the side of her child I She died and br the side of her humble, stoneless erave, f kneUand beseeched, AI mijrhtv Cad to snare niv miserable life and feeble frame.
