Her uncle was a counsellor, of wealth, and wit, and skill, A finished classic scholar, and master of the quill; An editor and Congressman, a Democrat in truth, A real Northern gentleman, conservative from youth. No boaster, and no blusterht should wave. She loves that banner more than life, and were she but a man, She vows 'twould be her pride and boast to lead the Union van. God bless the maid of Ulster, that all so freely gave; God bless the noble father, may he be strong and brave; God bless the two dear brothers, may they be bold and true; God bless the faithf be bold and true; God bless the faithful Henry, the gifted uncle too. The soldiers of the Union, God bless them one and all; They were no noisy braggarts, but they will gladly fall; If lives will save the Union, they're ready quite to die, These noble Northern soldiers, that bade us all good-bye. Ulster County, May 20, 1861.

A most remarkable accession to its population, and one which has had the best influence upon the character of its people, came from Ireland. It was a colony of Scotch Presbyterians which had settled in the Province of Ulster in the reign of James I. They had borne the brunt of the siege of Londonderry; they had been the right hand of King William in the battle of Boyne Water; and, being oppressed by their Catholic neighbors after James had been routed from Ireland, they emigrated to New Hampshire. They established themselves in the centre and northern parts of the province, naming their new settlements after their Irish homes, so that to-day, going through their towns of Derry, Londonderry, Chester, Antrim, and
