Now, Senators McCain and Feingold, Representatives Shays and Meehan have reached across party lines here to craft tough and fair reform.

Throsby left the party, and, accompanied by a black boy, made his way to Port Jarvis. Meehan and Hume continued their journey, and discovered Lake George, Lake Bathurst, and the country called Goulburn Plains. But the trip undertaken by Mr. Oxley at this time, leading as it did to such unexpected results, claims our first attention.

Meehan, in a remarkable paper, compares twenty-nine kinds of American trees, belonging to various orders, with their nearest European allies, all grown in close proximity in the same garden and under as nearly as possible the same conditions." And then enumerating six traits in which the American forms all of them differ in like ways from their allied European forms, Mr.

We have known each other all our lives. Now my dear MacTurnan " Father Michael talked eagerly, and Father MacTurnan sat listening. At last Father Meehan saw that his arguments were producing no effect, and he said: "You don't agree with me." "It isn't that I don't agree with you. You have spoken admirably from your point of view, but our points of view are different."

As though the interview was at an end, Standish dropped into his chair and leaning forward, from the table picked up a cigar. As he lit it, he motioned Meehan toward his prisoner, but before the policeman could advance the sound of footsteps halted him. Bullard, his eyes filled with concern, leaped up the steps, and ran to the desk.

The bottle was got, and in the meantime the fire blazed up brightly; the storm without, however, did not abate, nor did Meehan and his brother wish that it should. As the elder of them took the glass from the hands of the other, an air of savage pleasure blazed in his eyes, on reflecting that the tempest of the night was favorable to the execution of the villanous deed on which they were bent.

Now there came a sudden sound of footsteps pelting along the road, and Shawn was taken with a tremor, though, mind you, he was a brave man, and it was horror of his sin was on him more than a fear of the rope. Murty Meehan made up his mind. 'Give me the gun, he said. 'I'm old and worn-out, and I might have had a son of your age. Shawn, hardly understanding, fled on the moment he was released.

You couldn't give me a chance now, you couldn't let me go now, not if I swore on a thousand Bibles. I don't know what they'll give me Leavenworth for life, or hanging, or just dismissal. But, you've got what you wanted I'm leaving the army!" Between the bars he stretched out his arms and held a hand toward Meehan and Standish. In the same dull, numbed voice he continued.

As he advanced in life this was strengthened by his increasing fondness for his own society, but he did not take to his solitary wanderings until after his sister Katty married young Peter Meehan and emigrated to New York. It was suggested to him that he should accompany them, but he sat looking meditative for a while, and then said, "How far might it be from this to the States?"

The elder Meehan was a tall man, and as he stood, elevated nearly a head above the crowd, his grim brows red with his daughter's blood which, in attempting to wipe away, he had deeply streaked across his face his eyes shooting fiery gleams of his late resentment, mingled with the wildness of unexpected horror as he thus stood, it would be impossible to contemplate a more revolting picture of that state to which the principles that had regulated his life must ultimately lead, even in this world.
