THE TRUE HEIR OF BALLYMORE: Passages from the History of a Belfast Ribbon Lodge. CHAPTER I. THE RIBBON LODGE.—THE NIGHT MEETING. It was a dark and dreary night, in the December of 1851. The sky was starless. The cold, raw air chilled to the very heart. The rain fell in torrents, and the streets in the centre of Belfast—formerly low and marshy ground—were in many parts literally flowing with water. In the famous Smithfield district—famed for its many local traditions—famed, also, for its vast accumulation of curious old articles of furniture, of every description and shape, there daily exposed for sale—and still more famed because of the ultra religious and political character of the lower classes of its denizens, who are generally Romanists—thorough-going Romanists, and noisy, plotting, violent politicians:—in this district, on the night in question, very few foot passengers were to be seen. Those who did appear in any part of Smithfield Square, drenched and shivering with the piercing cold, with swift steps passed on their way. About seven o'clock that night, a tall, active man might have been observed crossing the square and entering one of the adjoining narrow lanes. In this lane Romanists occupied every dwelling. Here were congregated from all parts of Ireland "navvies," fish-hawkers, oyster-sellers, rag-gatherers, cobblers, tinkers, greasy and ragged nights of the cleaver, old clothes dealers, and others, of whose particular calling none could learn more than from such explanation as this—"they lived by their wits;" these were the harpies of society, the moral pests of every city and country. Near to the entrance of this lane was a public-house, or tavern, glaring in the darkness with its seductive light and colours, and exhibiting within signs of busy trade and prosperity. Into this shop the person we have brought under the notice of the reader entered, and as he did so he was cordially welcomed by the landlord, who with his wife stood behind the bar. "Why, Pat," said the landlord, "I thought you were not coming, for mostly you're in among the first. It's a terrible night, and you're desperate wet, I see; but you'll soon be warmed. The lodge is met," he added in a confidential, low tone, "but they're not gone to business yet."
