The record of the last fifty years shows an uninterrupted progress in the invasion of English belles lettres by Irish writers. Outside literature, perhaps the most famous sayer of good things of our times was a simple Irish parish priest, the late Father Healy.
And when it was completed there was a great joy in the two hearts and a peace in Desmond's that had not been there for many years. "You are tired, my son," said Father Healy kindly. "Tired, but glad, Father. I have come out of the ocean of darkness and doubt into the old harbour of peace and certainty." A few minutes after Father Healy had left him he was again sleeping as peacefully as a child.
Healy; Saxton, Bamford, and three others, wholly unknown to me, were placed on the top of the coach, each attended by one of the police, and with pistols and blunderbusses, &c. Mr.

Yeager reached Noches late, for he had unsaddled and let his horse rest at Willow Springs during the heat of the broiling day.
