HAIL AND FARE WELL. learned - Well, it was the old story of man's perfidy and woman's fickleness. The next day I saw Jimmy on board the steamer, as happy as a boy could be, at the thought of returning to "ould Ireland;" and if any of my readers should ever chance to visit that "green isle of the sea," and pass through the parish of Bandon in the County of Cork, let them inquire for Jimmy Hurly, an honest blacksmith's son, and, my word for it, they will receive as warm a welcome as ever greeted stranger "on a foreign shore." When the news of the firing on Sumter reached the quiet Valley of La Mesilla, Dr. Parker and myself decided to turn our faces eastward. Securing seats in one of Butterfie]d's overland coaches, a little more than two weeks saw us in the busy city of St. Louis in Missouri; and a few days later the doctor and myself parted, he going to his home in old Virginia, and I to mine among the sterile hills of New England. I never saw him after we bade one another adieu at the old "Planters." He had scarcely reached his home ere he was tendered an appointment as surgeon in the Confederate army, and three years later he met his fate during an engagement with our forces in Louisiana. I learned of his death with sincere regret; for he was an honest man, a genial and pleasant companion, and a true friend. Would there were more like him! 0 542
