-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

-THE INTERIOR.]
-
-
-
-
-THE CAVES OF KISH-CORRAN.
-
-
-Among the many wonders of Ireland, as yet undescribed and little known,
-even to Irishmen, beyond their immediate localities, the subject of our
-prefixed illustration has every claim to find a place, and to attract our
-attention as a subject equally interesting to the geologist, artist, and
-historian. That it should have hitherto remained unnoticed, as we think
-it has, while objects of the same description in other localities less
-remarkable and interesting have been repeatedly described, may be
-attributed chiefly to the circumstance of its situation being remote from
-any leading road, and in a wild and rarely visited district of country,
-namely, the barony of Corran, in the county of Sligo. Of this barony, the
-mountain called Ceis or Kish-Corran, is the most striking geographical
-feature. It is composed of tabular limestone; has a flat outline at top,
-but is precipitous on its sides, and rises to an altitude of upwards of a
-thousand feet. To the traveller journeying from Boyle to Sligo it must be
-a familiar and pleasing object, as, after passing the little town of
-Ballinafad, it offers, for some miles of the road towards the west and
-south-west, the charms of a mountain boundary in contrast to the rich
-woods of Hollybrook, and the delightful vistas of the water of Lough
-Arrow, or Arva, which skirt the road along the east. But the most
-precipitous and noble point of Kish-Corran is presented to the west, and
-is not seen by the traveller on this road, which must for a time be
-abandoned to enable him to see it, as well as the wonderful caves which
-open on its face, and to which we have now to call the attention of our
-readers. On this western side, the mountain, to within a hundred feet or
-two of its summit, presents a green but boldly sloping grassy face,
-formed of the debris of the rocks above, which rise perpendicularly, and
-look more like a wall--lichen-stained and ivy-decked--formed by the
-Cyclops or giants of old, than creations of nature's hand. And such
-impression is increased in no small degree by the lofty and magnificent
-caves, which present themselves like doorways, and lead into the inmost
-recesses of the mountain. It is of one of these entrances, and the most
-remarkable for grandeur, that our illustration attempts to give an idea.
-Its height is no less than twenty feet. How far the caves extend, we are
-unable to speak with certainty; they are undoubtedly of great extent,
-and, if the local accounts are to be trusted, reach even to the opposite
-or eastern side of the mountain, and contain lakes of unfathomable depth,
-and spars of unimaginable beauty.
-
-A spot so striking to the imagination could not be, in Ireland, without
-its legends of a romantic and singular character; and some of these are
-of a most remote antiquity, and connected with the earliest legendary
-history of our country. In the ancient topographical tract called the
-Dinnseanchus, which gives the origin, according to the poets, of the
-names of the most remarkable mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, forts, &c.
-in Ireland, we are told that Corran received its name from the harper of
-Diancecht, to whom that magical race, called the Tuátha de Danann, gave
-the territory as a reward for his musical skill; and popular tradition
-still points to the cave of Kish-Corran as his residence, according to
-the ancient form quoted in the Dinnseanchus:--
-
-"Here used to dwell the gentle Corann, whose hand was skilled in playing
-on the harp; Corann was the only ollave of Drancich (with whom he
-lived), in free and peaceable security.
-
-To Corann of the soft music, the Tuátha De gave with great honour a free
-territory for his skilful playing, his knowledge, and his astrology. Here
-was he, this generous man, not without literature or in a churlish
-fortress, but in a place where the stranger was at liberty to a free
-sojournment with him, this liberal prosperous man."
-
-The same authority accounts for the prefix _Ceis_, or, as it is
-pronounced, _Kish_, which is applied to the mountain by a very singular
-legend, according to which it would appear that it was originally the
-name of a lady, who with five others were, by a charm compounded with the
-nut-fruit, metamorphosed into pigs, the unhappy Ceis herself being here
-subsequently slain. However this may be, there is nothing improbable in
-the supposition that the caves of Kish-Corran were in former times the
-favourite dens of the wild boar, the wolf, and many other animals now
-extinct; they furnish a secure retreat to the fox and many other wild
-animals at the present day.

-ON BENEVOLENCE OF CHARACTER.
-
-BY MARTIN DOYLE.
-
-
-If it be afflictive, on one side, to reflect upon the deeds of cruelty
-and oppression which prevail upon earth, through the instrumentality of
-man, it is delightful, on the other, to perceive that human reason,
-instead of being abused and perverted into a source of tyrannical
-oppression, is occasionally exercised, as it ought to be, in promoting
-happiness and social harmony, even among brutes; in producing that degree
-of peaceful concord, which it has been proved may exist among animals
-whose natural antipathies are the most violent imaginable--that feeling
-which disarms the strong among them of all desire to tyrannise over and
-destroy the weak, and is brought into exercise by a steady and
-persevering _system_ of early training (and consequent acquirement of
-abiding habits), directly opposed to _that_ which prompts us to place a
-whip in the hand of a child.
-
-I have been led into this train of contemplation, from having recently
-witnessed a practical illustration of the wonderful effects producible by
-what may fairly be termed a benevolent system, for there is no degree
-whatever of harsh discipline connected with it--no starvation, no blows,
-nothing of that "reign of terror," under the influence of which Van
-Amburgh has doubtless effected his dominion over the most ferocious of
-beasts; the exhibition of which power, while it surprises, does not
-please us; for, though, by an effort of the imagination, the mind may be
-led for a moment to the anticipation of the scene in which "the wolf
-shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,"
-it quickly considers this surprising display of human power with painful
-sensations, from the conviction that extreme severity of discipline alone
-has enabled man in this instance to attain his despotic sovereignty, and
-that the unnatural results which he beholds are an evidence that the
-legitimate dominion granted to man "over every thing that moveth upon the
-earth," has in this case, as in ten thousand others, been overstrained
-and abused.
-
-While animals of prey are in a state of nature, they either avoid each
-other, or meet in deadly contest, according to the degree of their
-antipathies; and until He who has impressed their dispositions upon them
-shall bid them lie down together in peace, no efforts of puny man can
-avail in changing their habits, except under such rare circumstances as
-confirm the general law of instinct which leads them to destroy each
-other. But the dislike which many of the domesticated animals entertain
-for each other, is greatly increased by the encouragement which they
-receive from man. The dog, which under other treatment would be familiar
-with the cat or the hog, is taught from his _puppyhood_ to pursue and
-worry each of them; the cat instinctively defends herself with those
-claws which are her natural weapons, and she scratches her opponent's
-face, and through their after life they are never thoroughly reconciled
-to each other, but live proverbially as "cat and dog." The hog cannot
-defend himself from the teeth of the dog; his ears are torn by them; he
-cannot retaliate, but he lives ever afterwards in dread of the whole
-canine race. Dogs, which otherwise would live in harmony together, are
-taught to fight; their natural jealousy is encouraged, and they are
-rendered bullies by profession.
-
-That the dread of man is in a certain degree naturally upon every beast
-of the field and bird of the air, cannot be disputed; but this feeling is
-increased considerably by the _experience_ which many brutes have of
-man's caprice or tyranny, and this dread is transmissible (as may be
-justly inferred from cases which are perfectly analogous, such as the
-acquired habit of pointing at game) to their posterity.
-
-A benevolent man, living, as we read of Robinson Crusoe, among his goats,
-ceases to be an object of apprehension to the animals around him; even
-birds, habituated to his kindness and protection, would become divested
-of the dread of man; and each successive generation of those familiarized
-birds would probably become more and more disposed to associate with him,
-if he were systematically kind and encouraging in his manner. Such
-experiments with the brute kind, it is true, can be but extremely
-partial, and are unattended with any very practically useful results in
-_themselves_; but, as respects _the education of children_, they are of
-extreme utility in exciting tender and benevolent feelings, and awakening
-the intellectual faculties from subjects merely sensual or idly amusing;
-they teach us "to look from Nature up to Nature's God."
-
-There never was a better founded observation than that of the late Mr
-Cobbett, that no one should be entrusted with the care of the nobler
-animals who had not been habituated to treat the lesser ones with
-kindness.
-
-I love to see a child feeding his rabbits or pigeons, and familiarly
-playing with them, consulting their tastes, and contributing to their
-comforts by every means within his power. Surely such a pursuit should
-not be rudely discouraged; how much more humanizing than the desire to
-possess "whips for a penny," to which I have recently adverted! It tends
-to render a child compassionate in his disposition to all God's
-creatures, and unwilling to hurt, for the sake of inflicting pain, or
-from thoughtless mischief.
-
-And I am just enough of phrenologist to be of opinion that, if there be
-any remarkable developement of the organ of destructiveness, this may be
-sufficiently counteracted by the exercise of feelings which have
-connection with the faculty of benevolence, and so modified, by avoiding
-all pursuits of a cruel nature, as to constitute, with God's blessing, a
-benevolent character, which, by the indulgence of the inherent
-inclination to cruel sports, would become of the opposite nature; for
-there is unquestionably an adaptation of the mind, as well as the body,
-to the circumstances under which individuals are placed. It is with the
-faculties of the human mind as with the habits of brutes; when exercised,
-they acquire strength, and gradually become more developed and confirmed;
-ay, and become hereditary too in proportion to their original or
-gradually progressing degree of developement. How important, then, that
-the higher faculties, on which depends the elevation of the moral
-character, should be strengthened by use and exercise! But I have
-digressed far from the illustration which I was about to give at the
-beginning, of a practically benevolent system of brute education.
-
-There stands on every fine day, near one of the great London bridges, a
-mild, cheerful looking man, who exhibits to the passers by an assemblage
-of animals of the most decided antipathies by nature, who live together
-in the same large cage in perfect harmony. The notion of collecting into
-one family such apparently discordant members, originated, I believe,
-with a gentleman who has long made the brute animal economy the subject
-of his investigations, and who suggested to John Austin the harmlessness,
-at least, of earning the means of his support by the novel and
-interesting exhibition of a cat, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, hawks, pigeons,
-owls, and starlings, and, I believe, another bird, under the same limited
-roof, and with perfect freedom of access from one to another. One of the
-pigeons is now hatching, without any cause of alarm from the hawk for the
-safety of her anticipated offspring; for that bird is so far from being
-of a destructive temper, that he frequently feeds a young starling with
-meat from his own bill, and apparently of his own impulse; nor do any of
-the birds manifest apprehension from the cat, which has been almost born
-in their company, and although frequently permitted to go outside the
-cage and take the air without restraint, returns soon again, without
-having had her disposition corrupted by intercourse with bad company,
-takes up her favourite position in a corner, where the rats most
-affectionately run up to her for warmth and concealment from the public
-gaze, behind her furry and comfortable back. The pigeons are also allowed
-their liberty occasionally, but they soon return to their quarters, which
-habit has rendered pleasant to them.
-
-Now, I by no means recommend to parents, for their children, the
-establishment of a _domestic menagerie_, for the care of this would be
-extremely troublesome, and occupy time which should be spent to far
-better purpose; nor do I recommend the keeping of useless pets of any
-kind, my object being merely to point out, by actual exemplification,
-what the benevolent _principle_, systematically exercised, _can_ produce
-even under the most adverse circumstances. On what are called pets, such
-as lapdogs and parrots, much warm, kind feeling is often unprofitably
-bestowed. When PONTO dies of plethora, or POLL from cold or infirmity,
-sensibilities are sometimes called forth, which would not flow from the
-contemplation of human sufferings. The servant who is daily employed to
-wash and comb the dog, is perhaps never sent upon an errand of mercy to
-any of the distressed families around the mistress, and a wayworn group
-of children may unavailingly solicit the luxurious food which is placed
-before the pampered _pet_, without shame or scruple.
-
-I do not intend to maintain the pet _system_ in general; it is the
-principle of humanity which I seek, not that mawkish sensibility which
-causes so many to weep at the dramatic exhibition of fictitious woe, who
-would not drop one tear of sympathy for real misery, divested, as in the
-scenes of every-day life, of the embellishments and romantic adjuncts
-which false sentiment delights in. We all, it is true, require some
-especial objects of endearment, something on which the feelings of the
-heart may find expansion, else we become cold, selfish, and very
-disagreeable to every one. In childhood, therefore, the disposition to
-love even the domestic animals born for our use, should be sedulously
-fostered, but not to such excess as to weaken the affection for parents,
-brothers, sisters, or friends. The principle should only be checked,
-however, in its exuberance, never crushed. In mature years the affections
-should have the highest objects, and in those instances in which the
-Creator has denied the gift of offspring to us, I would respectfully
-suggest to those who desire pets, the adoption of an orphan or two, whom
-they may train both for earth and heaven, in preference to any other
-perishable idols.

-"The longest way round is often the shortest way home."--_Old Proverb._
-
-
-I was not more than eight or nine years old when the following anecdote
-was related to me by the actor or sufferer, whichever he might be called,
-himself. He was a fine stately old gentleman. His family had once been
-powerful; but in the troubles with which the page of Ireland's history is
-filled and darkened, they had been reduced, and he, fleeced by a
-treacherous guardian of the last remnant of the property, had been
-compelled to accept the influence of friends in procuring him a
-commission in the civil service (for in war he would not serve them) of a
-government which he loathed.
-
-He was of a stern and rather gloomy disposition, and rarely condescended
-to social or pleasant conversation, much less to notice children; but
-sometimes the genial fire within would thaw the icy surface, and diffuse
-life and light around. The bow could not be kept ever bent: the garrison
-was too feeble to keep constant watch and ward, and a view would be
-sometimes gained, through an open door, of a heart fitted by nature to
-give and receive all sublunary happiness. I heard his history long after
-his career had closed. But it has nothing to do with the present
-story--another time for it.
-
-I had been playing marbles with my cousin and playfellows; we quarrelled,
-and were proceeding to blows, when Mr M----, who was sitting, unobserved
-by us, on a stone bench, and had witnessed our dispute, called to us both
-to approach him. He took one on each knee, and looking alternately at us,
-said, in a tone so mild and different from his usual harsh commanding
-voice, that we could scarcely think it was the same man who spoke, "Boys,
-beware of sudden ungovernable passion; under its influence you might
-commit, in one moment, an act which would embitter, with remorse and vain
-regret, all your subsequent life.
-
-"When a young man, I once suffered so keenly the consequence of my
-ungovernable temper, that were I to live a thousand years, I could not
-forget it. I see that your curiosity is excited, and you would like to
-hear the circumstance; but it is connected with a ghost story, and I must
-tell you all." "Oh! do, Mr M----," said I, "for papa says there are no
-such things as ghosts or fairies, and nurse says there are; and nurse
-never tells lies, and certainly papa would not, and I do not know what
-to think between them." "Well," said he, "I shall tell you the story, and
-it will help you to form your judgment.
-
-From the high road between Cork and Cloyne, and about three miles from
-the latter, a small by-road, or 'borheen,' branches off. It is of very
-ancient date, belonging to times when men were guided by the position of
-the sun during the day, and the stars at night, and when, consequently,
-their track lay over mountain and hollow, through wood and bog, as the
-avoidance of impediments (except to a very short distance) would have
-thrown them quite out of their reckoning, and toil was much less regarded
-then than in these degenerate days. The road by Laght-e-Ouria is
-decidedly a shorter way to Cloyne than the high road from which it
-diverges; but a saying has arisen since it was made, 'the longest way
-round is the shortest way home,' that has been so often used as a
-conclusion to a debate upon 'which of the roads should be taken,' that
-the wisdom of our ancestors is voted folly, and their ways are no longer
-trodden.
-
-Other reasons than the unevenness of its surface are however not wanting,
-and many a headstrong drunken farmer, upon whom all other argument had
-been tried in vain, has been induced to turn his horse's head to the new
-road, by the soft voice of the 'Vanitha' whispering in his ear that 'it
-would be midnight ere they passed Laght-e-Ouria.'
-
-Laght, in Irish, signifies a heap of stones, and it is customary in
-Ireland, wherever a murder has been committed, for every passer-by to
-throw a stone upon the spot. A heap, or 'laght,' is thus soon formed, and
-it receives the cognomen of the unfortunate individual whose untimely end
-it commemorates.
-
-In the beginning of the month of October 1775, when residing in Cork, I
-received a note from the Earl of Inchiquin, desiring me to meet him at
-Cloyne between five and six o'clock on the following morning, on most
-pressing and important business. I immediately ordered my horse,
-determining to dine with a particular friend who resided about half way,
-to jog quietly on in the evening, and have, what I always relished, a
-night's repose on the spot where my morning's business awaited me.
-
-Mr Ahern was one of a class well known in the south as 'gentlemen
-farmers,' being mostly reduced gentlemen who farmed a portion of the
-grounds that once belonged to their ancestors, in many instances to
-themselves.
-
-Hospitality, the virtue they most prided themselves upon, they carried to
-a fault; and my friend Ahern, in common with the rest, made it a rule,
-without an exception, that a bottle either of wine or whisky once opened,
-should be finished on the spot. Upon this occasion, however, I felt it
-necessary to demur. The last bottle of whisky having been opened without
-my consent, and feeling that, although I was still capable of proceeding
-on my journey, the half of what remained would put it completely out of
-the question, I positively refused to take another drop except the
-'Dhuch-an-dhurrish,' or parting glass, and resisting all his
-importunities to stay the night, not relishing a ride of a dark morning,
-I took my departure about an hour before midnight.
-
-I never was a believer in ghosts or fairies, or any class of idle,
-mischievous, disembodied creatures; but upon this occasion, whether from
-melancholy or loneliness, or the darkness, which was so intense as to
-force me to proceed very slowly, or from my friend's stirrup-cup having
-slightly obnubilated my reasoning faculties without producing the usual
-valour, I know not. Certain it is, I did not feel comfortable, and wished
-most fervently for just as much light as would enable me to urge my horse
-forward at a quicker pace, but the more I wished for light the darker it
-became, until my eyes ached in endeavouring to penetrate the gloom.
-
-A row of tall trees ran along at each side of the road, and nearly met at
-top, and the fitful breeze just agitating the leaves, or occasionally
-moving the branches so as to cause a low, moaning, creaking noise, jarred
-my nerves, and made me feel still more and more unpleasant. At length,
-when I had arrived at an intolerable pitch of nervous excitement, the
-darkness became less intense, and I could just distinguish a breach in
-the row of trees upon the right, which marked the locality of the
-'laght.' Taking advantage of the opportunity, I pressed my horse. He
-seemed to have become as nervous as myself, for he answered to the slight
-touch of the spur with a loud snort and a violent spring, which I
-considered so totally uncalled for, as to give me a very fair excuse for
-being in a passion, and venting my irritability, which I proceeded to do
-with my whip, as giving my muscles more action than the spur; but
-instead of plunging along at a mad gallop, as I expected, my horse
-reared, and turning sharply round, attempted a flight back. Again and
-again I turned his head to the road, but onward he would not go; this was
-very strange, for he never shied or started. At length I tried the
-soothing system; for I must confess that the general belief that horses
-see what is hidden from the eyes of man, occurred to me, and I coaxed and
-patted him, and spoke gently and encouragingly to him, but he kept
-sidling, and tramping, attempting to turn, and answering every word or
-pat with a long snore, whilst I could perceive by his forward pricked
-ears and the direction of his head, that his eyes were rivetted upon the
-heap of stones. Whilst thus engaged, and having somewhat quieted his
-terror, I heard a sound like the rattling of chains. Round and away with
-Rainbow. I brought him up again nearer than before. Again the chains
-clanked, and I could distinctly hear that they were chains, ere my horse
-bolted and ran again. 'The third time,' said I, 'contains a charm, they
-say; and, man or devil, ghost or fairy, I'll overhaul you. Who's there?'
-No answer. 'Who's there?' Clank, clank, went the chains. I could see
-nothing. The perspiration was running down my face, but I was furious.
-'By the hand of my grandfather, if you do not answer me, I'll go to you,
-and whilst sinew and whalebone last, you shall feel the butt of a loaded
-whip. Who are you?' Again the chains clanked, and my horse would not
-consent to keep such company any longer. I dismounted, and, taking him a
-few paces back, tied him to a tree, and returned on foot to the spot.
-
-Behind the trees was a deep trench partly filled with water; a hawthorn
-hedge grew at the farther side, and threw its branches nearly across. As
-I approached the 'laght,' the rattling of the chains again rose,
-accompanied by a plashing, scrambling noise, as of something breaking
-through the hedge and trench. I sprang forward, striking with the heavy
-handle of my whip, having twisted the thong firmly round my hand and
-wrist, I had only beaten air, but the violence of the blow and weight of
-the whip carried me forward; and, missing my footing in the darkness, I
-fell against, or rather upon, the monster of the chains; and having made
-a furious grasp to save myself, judge what was my horror at catching a
-handful of hair, such as might be expected to be felt upon an arctic
-bear! The creature slipped from me, and with a tremendous plunge and
-frightful rattling of its chains, gained the road, overwhelming me
-completely in the muddy ditch.
-
-Just at that instant the whole truth flashed across my mind; and with a
-vengeful rage that I am ashamed to confess, I sprang up, and pursuing my
-unfortunate victim, a jackass, who could make but little exertion to
-escape, being spancelled with a piece of an iron chain, I kept my oath,
-by belabouring poor Neddy until I could strike no more from exhaustion. I
-then turned to remount my horse; but he was gone, having left the
-principal portion of his bridle hanging on the bough for a keepsake.
-Nothing saved Neddy from a second edition, with considerable additions,
-but the recollection of the hour, the necessity of catching my horse, and
-the confounded distance I should have to travel afterwards, for he was,
-of course, gone the wrong way.
-
-I ran as fast as I could, but was soon obliged to pull up. I found that I
-was carrying weight, and no light weight, for my clothes were saturated
-with water, and covered thickly with mud. Having scraped off as much as I
-could of the latter, I got along, and about two o'clock reached my
-friend's house again, entertaining a faint hope that Rainbow had returned
-to the last stall he had occupied; and so he had.
-
-Not finding the gate open, he had jumped the road fence, and was quietly
-grazing with two or three other horses. There was now light enough to
-distinguish objects at a hundred yards; and I could see his saddle, but
-how to catch him was now the question, for he had at all times a
-propensity to keep his liberty when he had got it; and to think of
-catching him without help was idle. I approached the house, but just then
-recollected that my friend had a couple of dangerous mastiff dogs, of
-extraordinary size and ferocity; and as the entrance to the front of the
-house lay through the farm-yard, in which they were kept, it would be as
-much as my life was worth to approach it. My only chance was to get at
-the rere; and having made the circuit of a few fields, I reached it, and,
-selecting a window likely to belong to some sleeping apartment on the
-ground floor, I tapped at it with the butt of my whip. Receiving no
-answer, I repeated the knock, and placing my head close, heard a female
-voice exclaim, 'Marcy save us, it's the boys;' and the speaker hurried
-barefooted from the room. I knew that the only female inmate of the
-house was the daughter of an old follower of the family, now called
-'_the_ servant man;' for Pat or Paddy fulfilled the manifold duties of
-butler, footman, gardener, and valet, besides taking a hand at every
-thing about the farm in turn.
-
-Whilst considering whether or not I should knock again, I had the
-satisfaction to see, by the still increasing light, that the shutter of
-an upper window was cautiously opened; then the window was gently raised;
-and I waited for the appearance of a head to announce myself, when a
-bright flash issued forth, accompanied by a tremendous report. Away went
-my hat; and at the same instant the dogs opened, not barking, but with
-yells upon yells, as if Pandemonium was let loose. 'Ahern! Ahern!' I
-roared out, 'what are you at? 'Tis I--don't you know me?--M---- My horse
-has run away; he's in your field, and I want help to catch him.' I
-bellowed this at the top of my voice, in the vain endeavour to drown the
-'bow-wow-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo' of the dogs. The answer I received was, 'You to
-(hiccup) blazes (hiccup); here's at you again, you villains.' I threw
-myself down as my quondam kind host discharged a second blunderbuss at
-me; but was instantly on my legs again, as the roaring of the dogs
-announced their rapid approach. They had in some manner got out of the
-yard. I glanced hurriedly round for some place of shelter. A large
-arbutus tree was the nearest object, and into it I scrambled, just as the
-dogs appeared in full career upon the field.
-
-They made repeated springs at me, for I was not above eight feet from the
-ground, but I contrived, by well-aimed kicks in the jaws, to keep them at
-bay for a while. I was thus pleasantly engaged for about five minutes,
-when Ahern and four or five men made their appearance. He carried a
-blunderbuss in his hand, another tucked under his arm, and a brace of
-holster pistols stuck in his waistband. His old servant had the master's
-fowling-piece, and the rest, who were farm servants, had pitchforks.
-
-As soon as I espied them, I roared out, 'Call off the dogs, I'm M----,
-you stupid drunken rascal.' 'Ho! ho! he's--hic--up in the arbutus.'
-'Blur-an-agers, tare-an-taffy, sir, you'll shoot the dogs!' said old
-Paddy, knocking up the levelled blunderbuss. 'It's Mr M----; don't ye
-know his voice? Down, Fin--down, Oscar--down with ye,' and with
-persuasive words, and still more persuasive blows of the fowling-piece,
-Pat drew off the dogs, and took them away. I came down in a state of
-indescribable rage. Nothing vexes a man so much as the consciousness of
-being an object of mirth or ridicule.
-
-Having paused awhile for words, I poured forth a torrent of abuse on
-Ahern. He hiccupped once or twice, looked with the most stupid
-astonishment at me, and, when I paused for breath, 'damned me but it
-would have been due to me to be shot; firstly, for leaving a Christian
-habitation at the dead hour of the night; secondly, for going at that
-hour by a haunted road; and, thirdly, for attempting to get in at a back
-window of his house, when I well knew that I had only to raise the latch,
-and walk in at the front door.'
-
-'How the d---- could I get past your infernal dogs?' said I.
-
-'Good dogs always know friends from foes,' he replied; 'but--hic--it was
-just one of your tricks--you wanted to frighten me, and--ha! ha! ha!--you
-got frightened yourself, and the devil's cure to you!--hic.' I was
-beginning again, when he stopped me by saying, 'that if I thought he had
-taken any advantage of me, matters could be made even;' and he produced
-the holster pistols, saying 'that they were both double loaded; he had
-charged them himself, and I might have my choice.' In a minute the ground
-was measured; the men were ordered not to interfere, but stand aside; and
-Ahem himself asked me if I was ready, and immediately said 'fire!'
-
-Well might he say 'the pistols were double charged;' they were trebly
-charged--loaded to the muzzles. In fact, it was safer to stand before
-than behind them. I was stunned by the report, and remained standing,
-until roused by one of the men asking me 'was I shot?' adding, that 'I
-had killed the masther.' In an instant the whole impropriety of my
-conduct flashed before me, and I ran to my poor unfortunate friend, who
-lay motionless. I knelt down by his side, and never shall I forget the
-piercing anguish that at that moment penetrated my soul. All his
-virtues--his amiable qualities--his kind-heartedness--every good action
-of his life with which I was acquainted, and they were numerous, appeared
-in order before my mental vision; and then conscience, shaking the ægis,
-on which appeared, not the Gorgon's, but my poor friend's blackened
-countenance, before me, and asking, 'Why did you do this?' froze up my
-faculties, and converted my outward seeming into stone; but within, there
-was a foretaste of the eternal torments.
-
-Involuntarily I called upon his name; the sound of my own voice started
-me, arousing me to a sense of keener anguish; and I was about to break
-forth into some violent extravagance, when my unfortunate friend opened
-his eyes, and, looking at me with kindness, said, 'M----, you did not do
-it; my pistol burst and has hurt me--take me into the house--I'm sober
-enough now.'
-
-Upon examination it was discovered that a piece of the pistol barrel had
-hit him above the forehead, cutting a path through his scalp; one of his
-fingers was broken, and his hand and arm were severely contused, but he
-seemed to think nothing of it, but desired one of the men to go for old
-Biddy Hoolaghan, a celebrated doctress, and the rest of them to catch
-Rainbow. I refused to leave him in his then present condition, of which I
-was the unlucky cause, but he would not hear of my stopping. 'No, no,'
-said he, 'your business cannot be neglected; and as to fault, we may
-divide the matter between us, and bear each his own share. If I did not
-make the ridiculous rule, that a bottle of whisky once opened should be
-finished at once, I would not have drunk after you left me, but have gone
-to bed at once; in which case I'd have known your voice, and all would
-have been right. And if you were not so lazy as to object to a morning
-ride (which you must take after all), you'd have staid where you were,
-and saved all the mischief. But, at all events, remember for the rest of
-your days that 'the longest way round is often the shortest way home.'
-
-Rainbow was caught at length. Ahern lent me a bridle, and at four o'clock
-I faced the road again, and arrived at Cloyne, without further adventure,
-at five, thoroughly soaked with the rain, which commenced heavily soon
-after my second departure, and for which I was thankful, as it partially
-cleansed me from the ditch mud, and accounted for my dripping and soiled
-state when I made my appearance before the earl, which I was obliged to
-do, without changing my dress, at half past five."

-
-CHARACTER OF O'DONNELL, PRINCE OF TYRCONNELL IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
-
-(From the MS. Annals of the Four Masters, translated by Mr O'DONOVAN.)
-
-
-A.D. 1537. In this year died O'Donnell (Hugh, son of Hugh Roe, who was
-son of Niall Garve, who was son of Torlogh of the Wine), Lord of
-Tyrconnell, Inishowen, Kinel-Moen,[A] Fermanagh, and Lower Connaught; a
-man to whom rents and tributes had been paid by the people of other
-territories over which he had acquired dominion and jurisdiction, such as
-Moylorg, Machaire-Chonnacht, Clann-Conway, Costello, Gallen, Tirawly, and
-Conmaicne-Cuile, to the west, and Oireacht-ui-Chathain (the patrimony of
-O'Kane), the Route, and Clannaboy, to the east; for of all these there
-was not one territory that had not given him pledges for the payment of
-his tribute of protection. It was this man who had compelled the four
-lords who ruled Tyrone in his lifetime, to give him new charters of
-Inishowen, Kinel-Moen, and Fermanagh, by way of confirmations of the
-ancient charters which his ancestors had held in proof of their right to
-govern these countries; and this he had done, in order that he might
-peaceably enjoy jurisdiction over them, and have authority to summon
-their forces into the field when he wanted them. Neither in all this is
-there anything to be wondered at, for never had victory been seen with
-his enemies--never had he retreated one foot from any army, whether small
-or numerous; he had been distinguished as an abolisher of evil customs,
-and a restrainer of evil deeds, a destroyer and banisher of rebels and
-plunderers, and a rigid enforcer of the Irish laws and ordinances after
-the strictest and most upright manner; he was a man in whose reign the
-seasons had been favourable, so that both sea and land had been profusely
-productive while he continued on the throne;[B] a man who had
-established every person in his country in his rightful hereditary
-possessions, to the end that no one of them might bear enmity to another;
-a man who had not suffered the power of the English to come into his
-country, for he had formed a league of peace and amity with the King of
-England so soon as he saw that the Irish would not yield the superiority
-to any one chief or lord among themselves, but that friends and blood
-relations fiercely contended against one another; and a man who had
-carefully protected from harm or violation the Termon-lands (or
-sanctuaries) belonging to the friars, churchmen, poets, and ollaves.
-
-This O'Donnell (Hugh, son of Hugh Roe) died on the 5th of July, in the
-year of salvation 1537, being Wednesday, in the monastery of Donegall,
-having first taken upon him the habit of St Francis, having bewailed his
-crimes and iniquities, and done penance for his sins and transgressions.
-He was buried in the same monastery, with all the honour and solemnity
-which were his due; and Magnus O'Donnell was nominated to succeed him in
-his place by the successors of St Columbkille [viz. the Abbots of
-Kilmacrenan, Raphoe, and Derry], with the permission and by the advice of
-the nobles of Tyrconnell, both lay and ecclesiastical.

-[B] Cormac, in his instructions to his son Carbry, tells him that "when a

-worthy of remark that, among the oriental nations, the same notion

-their anticipations of favourable weather and abundant harvests upon the
-accession of a peaceable monarch to the throne.

-
-THE HARP.
-
-
-The harp was the favourite musical instrument, not only of the Irish, but
-of the Britons and other northern nations, during the middle ages, as is
-evident from their laws, and from every passage in their history in which
-there is the least allusion to music. By the laws of Wales, the
-possession of a harp was one of the three things that were necessary to
-constitute a gentleman, that is, a freeman; and no person could pretend
-to that title, unless he had one of those favourite instruments, and
-could play upon it.
-
-In the same laws, to prevent slaves from pretending to be gentlemen, it
-was expressly forbidden to teach or to permit them to play upon the harp;
-and none but the king, the king's musicians, and gentlemen, were allowed
-to have harps in their possession. A gentleman's harp was not liable to
-be seized for debt, because the want of it would have degraded him from
-his rank, and reduced him to a slave.
-
-The harp was in no less estimation and universal use among the Saxons and
-Danes; those who played upon this instrument were declared gentlemen by
-law; their persons were esteemed inviolable, and secured from injuries by
-very severe penalties; they were readily admitted into the highest
-company, and treated with distinguished marks of respect wherever they
-appeared.

-ANECDOTE OF JEROME DUIGENAN, A HARPER.--Some curious tales are told of
-Jerome Duigenan, a Leitrim harper, born in the year 1710. One is of so
-extraordinary a character, that, were it not for the particularity of the
-details, which savour strongly of an origin in fact, the editor would
-hesitate to give it publicity. He is, however, persuaded that he has it
-as it was communicated to O'Neill, between whose time and that of
-Duigenan there was scarcely room for the invention of a story not
-substantially true. It is as follows:--"There was a harper," says
-O'Neill, "before my time, named Jerome Duigenan, not blind, an excellent
-Greek and Latin scholar, and a charming performer. I have heard numerous
-anecdotes of him. The one that pleased me most was this. He lived with a
-Colonel Jones, of Drumshambo, who was one of the representatives in
-parliament for the county of Leitrim. The colonel, being in Dublin, at
-the meeting of parliament, met with an English nobleman who had brought
-over a Welsh harper. When the Welshman had played some tunes before the
-colonel, which he did very well, the nobleman asked him, had he ever
-heard so sweet a finger? 'Yes,' replied Jones, 'and that by a man who
-never wears either linen or woollen.' 'I bet you a hundred guineas,' says
-the nobleman, 'you can't produce any one to excel my Welshman.' The bet
-was accordingly made, and Duigenan was written to, to come immediately to
-Dublin, and bring his harp and dress of _Cauthack_ with him; that is, a
-dress made of beaten rushes, with something like a caddy or plaid of the
-same stuff. On Duigenan's arrival in Dublin, the colonel acquainted the
-members with the nature of his bet, and they requested that it might be
-decided in the House of Commons, before business commenced. The two
-harpers performed before all the members accordingly, and it was
-unanimously decided in favour of Duigenan, who wore his full _Cauthack_
-dress, and a cap of the same stuff, shaped like a sugar loaf, with many
-tassels; he was a tall, handsome man, and looked very well in
-it."--_Bunting's Ancient Music of Ireland._

-THE MOUNTAIN WALK.
-
-BY J. U. U.
-
-
- From the haunts of busy life,
- Homes of care, and paths of strife,
- Up the breezy mountain way,
- 'Mid the upper fields of day,
- Let me wander, far and lonely,
- Without guide, save nature only;
- And still ever as I go,
- Lose all thought of things below,
- Cast all sorrow to the wind,
- While the low vales sink behind:
- Fetterless and spirit free
- As the merry mountain bee.
- Like a spirit, thought and eye
- Buoyant between earth and sky,
- There to bask in free pure light
- On the joyous mountain height;
- Dallying with the breeze and shower,
- Claiming kin with every flower,
- Catching iris dreams that glance
- On the breath of circumstance.
- Changing with the changeful scene--
- Solemn, sombre, gay, serene:
- As each change fresh wonders bring,
- Weaving thought from every thing.
-
- Oft let shadowy hollows fall,
- And grey cliffs' embattled wall
- Crown the gloom with hoary height,
- Where the raven wheels his flight.
- Or green vale unfolding soft,
- In the lonesome crags aloft
- Shut the far down world from view.
- There, long up ether's darkening blue,
- The eye may gaze for worlds unseen,
- In the skyey void serene,
- And weave visions strange and fair,
- Of the starry empires there--
- Spirits changeless, pure, and bright,
- In their glorious vales of light;
- Till some wild note break the spell
- From sequester'd rural dell
- Where the mountain goatherds dwell:
- So to break the wild fond dream,
- And to man bring down the theme;
- For all earthly things impart
- Thoughts of Man to human heart.
-
- Then from towery crag on high,
- If far city win the eye,
- Glittering through the misty air,
- 'Twere a prospect meet and fair
- For the lone sequestered gaze
- O'er its wide uncertain maze,
- Then to muse on wealth and fame,
- And on every specious name
- That gilds the dross of earth below,
- Till, from reflection, wisdom grow.
- Wisdom:--not that sense which cleaveth
- To the world where all deceiveth;
- Not grave prudence, hard, yet hollow--
- In the beaten round to follow
- Lengthened aims, in life's short day,
- While the ages glide away:--
- But that moral, old and sage,
- Said and sung in every age;
- Old as man--yet ever new,
- Heard by all, and known to few;
- Murmur of Being's wave, that still,
- Unheeded as the babbling rill,
- In the world's noise, makes music only
- 'Midst the hush of deserts lonely.
-
- Last, from o'er the seaward steep,
- Let me view the spacious deep,
- While the billows break and flow
- In the caverned gloom below.
- There let cloud and sunbeam flee
- O'er the sunned and shadowy sea--
- Light and dark in fleeting strife,
- Like the vanities of life;
- So to dream of joy and woe,
- Imaged in the gliding show,
- As they come, and as they fly,
- To the verge of sea and sky;
- So our joys and sorrows flee,
- Onward to eternity.
- Then away in spirit wrought
- By the voluntary thought,
- Where the heath is freshly springing,
- Where the sky-borne lark is clinging
- On mid air with lively song,
- Which the echoing cliffs prolong;
- O'er wild steep and dreamy hollow,
- On, still onward let me follow.
- While the airy morn is bright,
- While rich noon is at its height,
- Till eve falls with sober grey,
- Freely let me roam away.

-
-No. 1.--THE DISCONTENTED STONES.
-
-
-A mason was one day at work, building a stout wall to protect a garden;
-nigh him lay a piled-up heap of stones, which he took into his hands in
-succession, one by one, according as he wanted them. The stones on their
-part submitted with exemplary quietness to be handled and introduced into
-their appropriate places; for they were fully aware that the mason's
-object was to erect a wall, and they knew equally well that that object
-could not be attained, if they took it into their thick heads to rebel
-against the principle upon which he was proceeding. At last, however,
-somewhat to the mason's amusement, it did so happen, after he had
-accomplished a considerable portion of his task, that one contumacious
-fellow, upon being laid hold of, began to talk very big upon the rights
-of stones, and the tyranny of coercing stonekind in general, declaring,
-that for himself, whether in a wall or out of a wall, he was determined
-to enjoy that liberty which was the birthright of every stone upon the
-earth, and that he would sooner be trodden into powder than surrender it.
-
-"I tell you plumply and plainly, Master Mason," said he, "that I will not
-be subjected to restraint. I must have scope for my energies. I must have
-room to look about me, and be able to roll to the left side or to the
-right, as I think proper, like a free agent!"
-
-The mason, on hearing this, could not refrain from laughing. "Truly,"
-said he, "I have lighted here on an eccentric specimen of the stony
-tribe. So, my good friend, you wish to have room to roll about in--eh?"
-
-"Precisely," returned the other.
-
-"Did you ever hear of the adage, 'a rolling stone gathers no moss?'"
-
-"Yes, and despise it," answered the Stone; "a moss is a token of
-antiquity; and antiquity and absurdity are synonymous terms in my
-vocabulary. May heaven defend me from ever gathering moss!"
-
-"Whew!" whistled the mason, in a manner to indicate mingled surprise and
-contempt. "Pray, what do you take yourself to be?"
-
-"What do I take myself to be! Just a stone--a wall stone--neither more
-nor less."
-
-"And are you content that I should allot you a position in the wall?"
-
-"Certainly I am."
-
-"And yet," said the mason, "you declare you will not be satisfied to
-remain under constraint? You must have room forsooth for your energies!
-Really your inconsistency is most ridiculous. Come; I have no time to
-lose; tell me at once what you would be at. Will you go into the wall, or
-shall I deposit you again on the ground?"
-
-"I have made up my mind to oblige you by going into the wall," replied
-the Stone, with a patronizing air; "but I will not be swindled out of my
-natural rights! Liberty is the first of these--and I must have liberty,
-even in a wall."
-
-"So you shall," said the man; "your liberty will be that of obtaining
-your just position in the wall, and of maintaining it undisturbedly."
-
-"Bah! what stupid, sneaking notions you have of liberty, surely! I tell
-you again that I must have space to expand and expatiate in. Do you think
-that I can stoop to fill the office of a mere wedge?"
-
-"You tire out my patience, friend," said the mason: "there is no use in
-arguing the matter further. I see I cannot get you to take up your
-lodging in the wall: I see I must throw you on the earth again."
-
-"Very well; be it so," returned the Stone: "liberty before all things!
-Pitch me to a respectable distance from the other stones, that I may feel
-myself unshackled and independent. I have the same right to be a
-free-_stone_ that you have to be a free-_mason_."
-
-"There, then," said the mason, and with the words he cast the Stone from
-him into the middle of the highway.
-
-The Stone was now in the full enjoyment of its darling liberty.
-Exceedingly did it congratulate itself. For a time also everything went
-well with it. The summer was a mild one; the skies were bright, and the
-foot of the passenger was continually transferring it to a new locality,
-and showing it daily more and more of the _ways_ of the world. But, alas!
-the summer could not last for ever: autumn came, and brought with it
-clouds of dust and showers of yellow leaves; and when the wind-gusts had
-subsided, there fell on the earth heavy torrents of rain; and the highway
-was covered with mire, and the measure of the isolated stone was
-forthwith taken for a surtout of mud; and there it lay, fallen from its
-high estate, and completely confounded by the passing eye with the vilest
-of the rubbish in its vicinity.
-
-But this was not the worst: in the course of a few weeks, the rains
-continuing still to fall, and the mire to accumulate, the earth gave way
-under it, and it became, as it were, imbedded in a hole produced by the
-force of its own pressure on the soft soil, till at last no part of it
-remained above ground except the upper surface. Unfortunately, too, there
-was no longer a possibility of retracing its steps, for the wall was now
-erected and the mason was far away. Nothing remained for it but to sink
-deeplier and deeplier into the earth, until not a vestige of it remained
-visible to the eye. Alas! for our poor Stone! Oh, Liberty! Oh,
-Independence! ye are indeed desirable objects of attainment; but surely
-they who seek ye at the expense of the great combining principle of
-social order, commit a senseless and irremediable blunder.
-
-In the spring following, the mason was employed in building another wall.
-He hoped that his work would be suffered to proceed without interruption
-on this occasion at least, but he was speedily undeceived; for one of the
-stones, just as in the previous year, began to grumble, and protest
-against the treatment to which it was about to be subjected. The mason,
-recollecting the former scene, was on the point of flinging it away at
-once; but second thoughts suggested to him the eligibility of first
-trying the effect of a little reasoning and remonstrance, "for, after
-all," said he, aloud, "no two stones are alike, and though I have met
-with one that was proof against argument, another may be less intractable
-in my hands."
-
-"There it is!" cried the Stone impatiently; "no two stones alike!--that's
-your foolish mistake, your ignorance. I tell you that there is no
-difference between one stone and another: I am just as good as any stone
-in the wall, and I insist on my prerogatives."
-
-"Hoity-toity!" exclaimed the mason, "but you are a sturdy beggar! Will
-you be condescending enough to define your prerogatives? I will thank you
-to tell me briefly how you would have me dispose of you."
-
-"I want to be a corner-stone, then," said the rebel, "and a corner-stone
-I will be. I stand on my rights: all stones are equal; so, quick!--let me
-occupy a position in the corner."
-
-"That you cannot do, my friend," returned the mason: "don't you see that
-the corner-stones are already in their places?"
-
-"I see that well enough," said the Stone; "but you can take one of them
-out, and install me in its place. I have as clear a right to be there as
-any of them: equality is the badge of us all: every one of us is from a
-common quarry: we are all stones alike. Take one of them out, and put me
-in."
-
-"Now, see how grossly inconsistent you are!" urged the workman: "all
-stones, you assert, are equal, and have the same rights: yet you would
-have me rudely displace and degrade one of them for your pleasure,
-though, according to your own acknowledgment, you are not a bit better
-than he is! Upon my word, but you have enlightened conceptions of what
-constitutes equality. But I cannot stand here arguing the question with
-you all day; my time is precious; I beg you will decide whether you are
-satisfied to form part of the wall or not."
-
-"Assuredly I am," said the other, "but only as a corner stone. How can
-you be so blind as not to see that we are all stones alike, and all
-therefore equal?"
-
-"You _are_ all stones alike," replied the mason, "and so far equal, in a
-certain sense; but your equality consists merely in your being all liable
-to serve as wall-stones, not in your being all qualified for the place of
-corner-stones."
-
-"A truce with your slavish doctrines!" cried the malcontent; "either make
-of me a corner-stone, or build your wall without me."
-
-"Is that your final decision?" asked the mason. "I warn you not to trifle
-with me, for I cannot let my work wait for you any longer."
-
-"I have said it," said the Stone. "I would see your wall trampled into
-dust, and the whole universe along with it, before I would surrender my
-great principle. Do what you please."
-
-"Go, then, refractory wronghead," exclaimed the mason, "go and enjoy your
-equality where none will be likely to dispute it!" And so saying, he cast
-the Stone from him with a vigorous jerk; and the Stone, after it had
-completed its journey through the air, fell down, and from the force of
-its own gravitation sank several feet low into the bottom of a deep and
-slimy pool.
-
-This was, for all historical purposes, the termination of its existence.
-What became of it in the pool ultimately, it is impossible to conjecture,
-for half a century has elapsed since; but as a total extinguisher was put
-upon its aspirations after notoriety by the accident, it is highly
-probable that if not worn quite away by the friction of the surrounding
-mud and water, it was at least gnawed to the core, in a moral sense, by
-its regrets for the folly of its past misconduct--regrets which we may
-suppose to have been shared in a pretty equal degree by its twin-brother
-of the preceding year, which had stickled so stoutly in its colloquy with
-the mason for its favourite theory of liberty and independence.
-
-
-
-
-THE AIR WE BREATHE.
-
-
-The objects which come every day before our eyes, the offices which
-involuntarily and almost unconsciously we at each moment must perform in
-order that we may live, are precisely the subjects concerning which the
-mass of mankind are least curious, and of the true nature and utility of
-which they are the most completely ignorant. It is thus with the air we
-breathe. There is no person but is aware of the necessity of breathing,
-and of the motion of the air caused by winds; but how few have asked
-themselves, What is air? How much is there of it? Could the same air be
-always used for breathing? How do fishes manage living in water in place
-of air? Yet the information thus obtainable might be the means of saving
-the lives of hundreds, as certainly the ignorance on these points has
-been the source of death, by painful and lingering torture, in many
-cases. We purpose, therefore, now to give some information about air, to
-show the importance of it to mankind, and to indicate how much we owe to
-the Omniscient Providence that has given to air the properties that we
-find it to possess.
-
-Although "trifles light as air" has become a proverb, yet air is
-positively heavy. A hogshead of air weighs about ten ounces; this is
-heavier than the gas which is burned in the streets and shops, of which a
-hogshead would weigh only seven ounces; and very much heavier than
-hydrogen gas, with which balloons were formerly filled, a hogshead of
-hydrogen gas weighing only two-thirds of an ounce. A balloon filled with
-hydrogen, or even with coal gas, rises into the air, as oil or a cork
-rises up through water. The air being thus heavy, presses upon the earth;
-and by measuring the degree of pressure we can tell how much air there
-is. This is done by an instrument termed a barometer--a glass tube closed
-at one end, and which, having been filled with quicksilver, is turned
-upside down in a cup containing quicksilver also. The tube being shut at
-the top, the air does not press on the quicksilver inside, but presses
-upon that in the basin; the quicksilver in the tube, which tends
-naturally to fall down into the basin, is thus forced to remain up in the
-tube by the pressure of external air; and it rises so high that the
-pressure inside, of the quicksilver, and outside, of the air, is equal.
-If the pressure of the air diminishes, the quicksilver falls; if the
-pressure of the air increases, the quicksilver rises: and as all great
-changes of the air are connected with changes of the weather, the
-barometer is generally known and consulted as a sort of weather-glass.
-
-Every space of an inch square supports fifteen pounds weight of air; at
-the rate of ten ounces to a hogshead, the depth of the air would
-therefore be about five miles. But it is much deeper, for air is what is
-termed compressible--that is to say, it may by pressure be squeezed into
-a smaller bulk; and hence the air next the ground, being compressed by
-the portions above it, is much the heaviest portion. At three miles high
-a hogshead of air weighs only five ounces, and at eight miles high only
-two ounces; hence the limits of the air are much farther removed, and it
-is known to extend to at least forty miles.
-
-The office of the air is to support animal life: no animal can live
-without air: even fishes require air. The water in which they swim
-contains air mixed with it, and this water washing the gills, which are
-their lungs, serves to them as the air directly acts on us. If we boil
-water until the air is expelled from it, and let it cool in a close
-vessel, we may drown a fish by putting it into such water, as easily as a
-land animal; it could not breathe. It is thus that in the lakes on the
-tops of very high mountains there are no fish. The heights are deserted
-by land and by water animals, in consequence of the air being too thin to
-support life. The way in which the air acts upon the body is very
-interesting. The most abundant element of our food is what the chemists
-term carbon, of which, in a gross manner, charcoal may serve as an
-example. Now, we eat much more of this than we require for the supply of
-our bodies, and it must be got rid of. This is done by its uniting in the
-body with a substance termed oxygen, and forming carbonic acid, the sort
-of air which boils up in soda water and ginger beer. This dissolves in
-the blood, colouring it a deep purple, and escapes from it when by the
-action of the heart the black blood is exposed to the action of the air
-on the surface of the lungs. Now, the office of the air is to supply this
-oxygen which removes the carbon from the blood. But the air is not pure
-oxygen. If it were, it would act too violently. An animal which breathes
-pure oxygen, becomes flushed, pants violently, and, if not choked, dies
-of inflammation of the lungs, produced by the intense action. In the air
-we breathe, the oxygen gas is diluted to the proper degree by another
-gas, termed nitrogen, which is totally destitute of power; it does of
-itself no good and no harm; it is the only substance that could be mixed
-in the air we breathe, without interfering in any way. When thus the
-blood loses, by exposure to the air in the lungs, its carbonic acid, it
-takes oxygen in its place; from dark purple it becomes bright red, and is
-then proper to take up a fresh quantity of carbon, and to sustain the
-body in health by its removal.
-
-When any thing burns in the air, it is the oxygen which is active. The
-nitrogen dilutes here also the oxygen, and keeps its activity down to the
-degree most suitable to our wants. If the air were pure oxygen, all our
-domestic fires would be violent conflagrations; our iron pokers and
-tongs, if heated red hot, would take fire and burn like squibs; no
-comfort, no safety for society could exist. But in burning, this oxygen
-is destroyed. If a candle be placed lighted under a glass bell, it will,
-after a little, go out. The air will become unfit to support combustion.
-Here also, as well as in the burning of coals, coke, gas, oil, charcoal,
-&c. the oxygen is changed into carbonic acid, and precisely as a fresh
-supply of oxygen is necessary for the continuance of life, so is it for
-combustion.
-
-The air contains about one part in five of oxygen, and, as has been seen,
-this oxygen is liable to continual destruction by the breathing of
-animals and the burning of fuel and of lights. An ordinary man spoils in
-twenty-four hours 720 cubic feet of air, that is, a mass of air 11 feet 6
-inches square and 6 feet thick. The burning of three ounces of charcoal,
-or of a mould candle of six to the pound, produces the same effect. It is
-not unusual in a factory to burn ten tons of coal a-day, which spoils
-3,185,760 cubic feet of air, a mass of a quarter of a mile square and six
-feet thick. If we multiply these numbers by the number of inhabitants, of
-man and of all other animals upon the earth, and also by the quantity of
-fuel burned all over the globe, it will be evident that without some
-regulating power superior to all that mere human means could devise, the
-air might ultimately become unfit to be the sustenance of living beings,
-and all the numerous tribes of animated nature which now adorn its
-surface, would be destroyed.
-
-By the all-wise arrangement of Providence, however, the animals, in thus
-converting the oxygen of the air into carbonic acid, become the means of
-supplying nourishment to another class of beings equally interesting and
-numerous. All vegetables breathe; but as animals take in too much carbon
-with their solid food, so do plants obtain too little from the substances
-that give nourishment to their roots. The animal breathes to give off
-carbon, the vegetable breathes to take it up. The two great divisions of
-living nature thus act in contrary ways upon the air; the oxygen consumed
-by the animal or by combustion, is given out again by the carbon of the
-carbonic acid becoming fixed in the plant of which it forms the woody
-mass; and thus the composition of the air is kept balanced at its proper
-point, and provision for the due nutrition of animals and vegetables is
-secured.
-
-The air we breathe serves, however, for other important uses. Without the
-air, the fresh breezes which moderate the heats of summer could not
-exist, and there would prevail in nature an eternal silence, for it is by
-means of air that we not only breathe, but hear. The variety of aspect
-given to the sky by the formation and rapid change of clouds, arises from
-the mixture of warm and of cold damp air. If there was no air, there
-might be dew, but there could never be a cloud.
-
-Without the air we could not have the bright blue sky which gives to our
-fine season its greatest charm. The heavens would be a vault of intense
-black, in which the sun would appear alone a glaring ball of fire, whose
-rays, unmitigated by the air which now absorbs them in their passage
-through its mass, would be a continual source of ill. The blue sky, the
-bright white clouds, arise from the sun's rays being partly stopped, and
-turned from one object to another. The sun's rays really consist of light
-of all the colours of the rainbow; of these the red portion is lost in
-passing through the air, and the blue remains, giving the colour we
-observe. Without the air, a place shaded from the sun would be in
-absolute darkness; as it now exists, a quantity of light is scattered
-about in every way by the different portions of the air, and thus an
-agreeable shade provided in place of the total absence of all light. On
-very elevated tops of mountains, where the traveller is placed above the
-greater portion of the air, all these effects of its absence which we
-have noticed, are found to exist. On the summit of Mont Blanc, a pistol
-discharged is scarcely heard, and a companion once out of sight, may be
-lost; for neither can he produce any noise by his own exertions, nor
-could his voice reach his friends, even if he could speak; the sky is
-deep indigo-coloured, or nearly black; and those objects on which the
-sun's light does not directly fall, are seen with difficulty.
-
-Such are the uses of the common air we breathe. Such are the benefits we
-derive from a blessing, of whose existence when at rest we are almost
-unconscious.
-
-
-
-
-ABSENCE OF MIND.--A well-known gentleman of Magdalen College, Cambridge,
-had taken his watch from his pocket, to mark the time he intended to boil
-an egg for his breakfast, when a friend entering the room, found him
-absorbed in some abstruse calculation, with the egg in his hand, upon
-which he was intently looking, and the watch supplying its place in the
-saucepan of boiling water.
-
-
-
-
-EARLY RISING.--Six or seven hours' sleep is certainly sufficient, and no
-one ought to exceed eight. To make sleep refreshing, the following things
-are requisite:--To take sufficient exercise in the open air; to avoid
-strong tea or coffee; to eat a light supper; and to lie down with a mind
-as cheerful and serene as possible. We hardly ever knew an early riser

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
-corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
-your equipment.

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
-Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
-permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-

-Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:
- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
