PYNE PLAYED THE SOLDIERS Clever Ruse of an Ingenions Parllament—Kissing the Blarney Stone ~ Dy Wayside und Seaside in Member of the Emernld Isle, [Copyrighted, 1893.] ay. 1 rrespondence of Tue Bre. |~ Through the entire south of Ireland, ahd particularly along the banks of such rivers as the Barrow, Suir, Blackwater, Bride and Lce, are found the ruins or well preserved remains of hugh square castles, built by the heads of septs and clans at different periods during the thirtcenth, four- teenth, fifteenth, and a few as late as the sixteenth, centuries. Whatever the reasons for the massive stone keeps—for the; semblance to the architectural Irish and English castles of the Elizabethan and a still more modern time—secemed to have been constructed with reference to conveying intelligence from one to another, probably from signal lights from their lofty parapets, as some which are still standing are more than 100 feet in heicht. Wherever you may saunter along these southern Irish rivers, you will find that there is an uninter- rupted view between the sites of the ancient castle ruins, Often they are but two miles dpart; frequently from four to six; but in every instance they are in view of each other; and ancient roads, showing that quick and easy communication was taken into account, are invariably found between. ' Probably three of the most interesting of these massive old structures in the south of Jreland are very near together, and can all be visited in a day's journey. They are Cas- 1le Lasfinny, at the ancient town of Tallow on the river Bride, near the boundaries of counties Waterford and Cork; Castle Kilcol- man, on a rivulet flowing into the Awbeg in ‘the northern part of county Cork, and Castle Blarney, in the beautiful Blarney vale, but an hour's lovely walk from the winsome city jof Corle, Taken together these three are the best existing specimens of the tower house or castle of the ancient Irish chief- tain, while each in its way is world famous in view of its distinctive associations. Castle Lisfinny stands on the side of a gentle declivity, which rises from the mar- gin of the river Bride, with the sleepy old town of Tallow and its low, gray convent | nestling 4n the valley on the southern side. It is supposed to have been puilt by the earl of Desmond, and has undergone but little change during the past 100 1t con- sists of a mussive square tow of fully fifty feet and the structure is nearly 100 feet high. Its summit commands a de- lightful view of the valley of the Bride, up- wards of twenty miles in extent, gemmed with villas, sheeted with luxuriant farms and dappled at ntervals with witching vealments of the river, here and there ap- pearing like tiny lakes of silver in emerald settings of verdure and woodland, T'he late Douglas Pyne, member of Parlia- ment for West Waterford, as I knew from personal ucquaintance oncof the mostlovable of men, in the fall of 1887 threw th United Kingdom and a part of America into roars of laughter from his odd and charac- teristically Irish mode of avoiding arrest for upwards of three months, with the police, soldiery and a warrant all literally under hi very nose. The editious offenses” which had brought .he law upon him, consisted in tunneling from his own land to the house of a neighboring tenant undergoing siege for eviction, and in this novel manner supplying him now and then in his ¢ilemma with cour- age and comifort 1 the form of an odd bottle of whisky and a snug hamper of vict cooked by good Mrs. Pyne herself. Pyne was considerable of o wa, was October when he was “summonsed’ r crops were all in, and as Pariiament did not meet until January he decided to employ the wtervening time in having a little fun with the minions of the law. Mr. Pyne was tenant of demesne; and his home, a few vards from the castle, was one of those old and now al- most obsolete mansions of the Irish gentle- mwan of half a century ago. He had con- verted the castle into byre, barn and store- house. Into this strange structure Pyne and two of his companions retreated, walling up and completely barricading the lower en trance; and, provided with canned meats, fruits and other edibles, with an unkuown quantity of whisky and cigars, here he grandiosely defled arrest. An entire company of Balfour's soldis endeavored to dislodge him. But that v imp ble. An entrance could not pe e fected. Even if one had been made, arrangs ments were such within that anywher from one to a dozen tons of rock could huave been precipitated upon the iuvaders. Mr. Pyne from his lofty perch above them, soothingly told the soldiers all this, and much more which made their duties partic- ularly u;lu'e(mbln. The situation becoming known, Lisfinny was the center of attraction for all Ireland, Throngs came to Tallow daily to cheer Mr. Pyne, who sagely ad- dressed them on the ‘“‘wrongs of Ireland” from a window ninety feet from the ground while the unfortunate soldiery were the butt of immeusurable and inexpressible ridiculs For thirteen weeks this tremendous farce continued, when finally the great question 18 to how Mr. Pyne would take his se Parliament grew to be universally discu Irish wit and recourse wnswered promptly. Suddenly there appeared pla- carded all over the counties of Cork and ‘Waterford 4 notice that Mr. Douglas Pyne's razing lands would on a certain day be sub- et by auction. Toward evening of that day every road leading into Tallow swarmed with Irish cattle and Irishmen.

But three thir of the gravest import- ance to poet, prince or came 1o this man in his eleven ye i ment here, between gs and 1590. The firsy of these was the chastening and exalting in- | fluence of absolute self-denial The second was in his wooing and marryiog a woman “of mean birth,” who was so loyal, sweet and good that Spenser never knew an unhappy hour on her account during his life, more_vower to women ‘‘of mean birth” for it. The other was in his munions with his noble friend, Raleigh, at mossy old Youghal, a few miles distant upon the seacoast. Raleigh, genius and poet that he himself was, generously recognized the greater poet's true greatness; warmed his heart with sunny hospitalities; sustained his doubtful dreamings with a strong and heartsome friendship, and in 1559 bodily took the timorous Spenser to London; personally introduced him to the quecn, and that very year saw the publication of the first three ooks of the *Facrie Queen.” Th three good fortunes, despite bitter financial st s on the one Land, and on the other Irish *‘rebellions” of such startling frequency that every far line of trees, 1iko trembling silhoucttes gainst the hovizon, undoubtedly took on the form of Desmond and Tyvone avengers, made m sing ns no English poet before his time had ever sung.

[Copyrighted, 1593.) However much of u flirt the average American girl may be she confines her field of conquest to the single men, Isay the average flirt. Butnow and then, in country places, in lesser cities, and in the large metropolis, we come upon the excep- tion to the rule, and find a girl who is not averse to numbering married men among her admirers, even among her victims A good deal of study and observation of this order of girl has led me to the following con- clusions regarding her: ‘The youug women who get their associuted unpleasantly with marr mivers can be divided into threeclasses: the spoiled girl, who 1s oversentimental, con- ceited und gushing; the utterly selfish und vuin girl. and the overripe girl, Tmet one of the first type recently in the heart of the great wmetropolis, She was a beauty, an only child and motherless, and possessed wealth and position, She had gorged her nuturally comantic mind on French novels, and she was utterly spoiled by adulation, This One Likes Married Men. She loved to talk of herself, and she con- fessed to me that she had, at the age of 20, grown quite blase with the monotonous at- tention of adoring: swains, and that she found nothing so interesting now as the ad- miration of marriedimen. “Isuppose 1 like them because they are unattainable,” she said quite nonchalantly, “and I confess the nearest sentiment Lever felt to love was in- spired by a murriedman.

The most hopeless coquette is the heartless girl with an abnormal love of conquest and excitement, who finds with married men the adventure and reckless element necessary to her happiness. Such a girl is seldom morally vicious in the generally accepted use of that term; she is superficial in her emotions,cold, vain and selfish. She likes her freedom and the opportunities of conquest and adventure itaffords her. She nas no idea of going wrong, but loves to play about the brink of Her only debauchery is that of the Having no deep emotions of own to control, she tempis and arouses those of men, scarcely couscious of her ey influence: shy flies laughing, mocking and more amused than terrifiel out of dange reach as soon as it menaces her.

Such a girl is liable to be superior 1o her early admivers and as she reaches ripe womanhood she finds mental comrade- ship in married men only.
