They were very poor, but then their wants wero few, and they were contented and happy in their simple way. Dennis Connor was considered tHe most comfortable man in Cloonabeg. Ie bad a sop in America who often sent him money ; and a daughter married to a fishmonger in Galway who was considered almost a mer- chant.

For fifteen yoars Judy toiled late and early, and then her grandson Willie was old enough to take his father's boat and nets and earn his living and support his grandmother. A fine, handsome, manly - lad was Willie Merrick, full-chested, and supple sinewed like the majority of the hardy sons of the sea-coast. In the market every ono liked to buy his mackerel and haddocks, not only becauso they could depend on whatever he offered for sale as being genuinely good and moderate in price, but they liked the look of his honest face and clear hazel eyes, and the sound of his hearty voice, Mrs Merrick was proud of her grandson, and' not without some reason, for he was a universal favor ite, and deserved to be. : A few ovenings after, Dennis Con- nor had told his wife of the threat- ened eviction, Qona, daughter, was sitting with Willie Merrick on the stone outside old Judy's cabin.-- There was no "take," and the men were all about the beach attending to the drying of nets, or watching a little boat which was making tor the quay against wind and tide. } his ¢ She'll never get in, Oona, if they don't tack more to the eastward,' Willie said. ¢Oh, it I had a boat like her, wouldn't I be happy I' ¢ Aren't yo happy as ye are, Wil- lie " Oona asked. ¢Ye told me the other night that ye was the happiest boy in Cloonabeg, or Cloonamors either,' Willie looking tenderly at tho fair "Sol am darlin', said, saucy face beside him ; < but I'll be happier when yor my own intirely.

'Yes, faix, it is, Oona, and it wants a week to the half-year ;' and Qona went into the house while Willie went to see what the people were gathering in groups for, and talking so mysteriously about. A very few words served to explain the object of the agent's visit. Io had come accompanied by the bailiff' to serve a 'notice to quit" His Honor, the landlord, wanted the place cleared down, was all the reason he gave. It was a sad thing to walk through the village of Cloonabeg that evening and from house to house with the Agent.-- Everywhere he said the same thing: "Ye must clear out; His Ionor wants the place. I'll forgive yo half this half-year's rent all round, and and give ye till the first of January to get away. But remember the men'll be here on New Year's day to pull down these dens.' By the time they had reachd Den- Connor's, the whole village--men, women and children--were after them crying hitterly, and Judy Mer- rick came to agk what the matter was.

The sea and sky, of a gray leaden hue, seemed to meet, you could scarcely distinguished one from the other; and the storm rag- ed along the disolate coast. The village of €loonabeg present- ed a very pitiful sight that New- yepr's Day--a sight, once seen, never to be forgotten--a sight which impressed itself on the memory an eviction! All words fre {nad- equate to describe the scene--it i something one must 1ggkon with burning intensity, the sight of comprehend. ~ That morning, on the common, wherever a stunted shrub offered the faintest shelter from the Dbittter east wind, the people were sitting huddled to~ gether, or lying on their 'poor beds to keep themselves warm, waiting for tho demolition of their cabins 3 Women weeping bitterly, children shivering, and men with blenched faces, men poor, ignorant, homeless yet exercising a selfcontrol wonder-- ful and touching. The lane leading to the'village was also lined on each side by the unfortunate pedple; and as the bailiffs came with pick to begin their work, the women greeted them with a terrible cry. thoroughly The men were silent, calmly, They could have easily beaten off the intruders--they 3 could have chased them into the sea, grandly silent" or dashed their brains out against the rocks; but what would it avail ; gthers would come and take their places, for Cloonabeg was doomed. The men looked passively on asthey saw their homes leveled to the earth as they saw cabin after eabin fall in. Opposite their door, Denis €onnor and his his wife and daughter sat waiting for the end before starting for Galway.
