days after lie cleared out and went eoniewhere down South. "Why, then, you lost your money alter all/^id the red-faced man triumphantly. ft, jing of the soit. my friend. One thing I failed in, I'll allow—do all I could I never succeeded in obtaining his Christian name. Without that of course 1 could not take out a summons. All I accomplished was finding out where a letter would reach him. The greater the difficulties I bad to encounter the keener was my desire to bring him to book. At length I hit upon a plan to obtain the necessary information from himself. Know ing he had a brother, a drunken, worthless fellow, who had died a few months before, I got a friend of mine to write him offering £300 for 150 acres of land belonging to his deceased, relative somewhere in the North. "Ah ! I see," said red face, "he answered that letter and you got his Christian name. Hah ! bah ! hah !"

"A very ingenious ruse," said his com panion, " but I fail to see how you managed to bring up the expenses to over £12." You shall see, said the speaker. Your friend is entirely wrong in his surmise—he never wrote at all, but came to in the s.s. Wellington, his passage money being £5. (At this juncture that; one of his hearers who possessed the sanguineous countenance, and was imbibing something anti-teetotal, choked himself, and turned black in the face. After several fits of coughing, inter spersed with roars of laughter, with the assistance of sundry slaps on the back, he calmed down and exclaimed, " Wheu ! that was a stinger and no mistake." "Yes, and placed your friend in an awkward position," said the other. So it did, was the answer, but my friend was equal to the occasion. On Mr S calling upon him (which he did immediately upon his arrival), and introduced himself by name and the nature of his business. My friend answered thus : "He was ignorant of the exact locality. The would-be purchaser was up the Waikato ; he might be down in a week ; it might be a month hence before he arrived."

For ten entire days did Mr Smith stay in town employing himself at the Deeds Office,, (what he paid for searching fees, goodness knows), running in and out of my friends sanctum, and making enquiries in every conceivable quarter, until being compelled to return South, he left strict instructions that immediately the would-be purchaser (!) handed up, he was to be written to—with locality the property was situated in, &c, &c, &c, and then steamed away in the Ladybird. p " But," said the red-faced man, (after recovering from a second fit of laughter), " how did you get paid your half-a-crown ?" After I had to a degree recovered from the stunning effects of the unlooked for lesult of our stratagem, I placed myself in his way, and informing him that I was the cause of my friends offering so handsome a figure for the land (which in truth I was ! !) reminded him of the half-a-crown which he nnhesitantly paid me, apologising for his refusal to do so in the first instance. " How did you and your friend get out of the dilemma after all," said the placid man. Wrote and informed him the man turned out to be ' Smythe,' not Smith, with many expressions of regret that he bad been put to so much expense in time and money. " Well, sir," said the red-facedjnan giving giving a sounding thump on the table, " that deserves a glass of wine, and hang me if I don't stand it ? " "Thank you, my friend, I'm a Good Templar." " Confound it. you nmst have a glass of summut."

But the narrator had disappeared. "Well," said the red-faced man after a pause, " my scheme to get paid didn't come up to that gent's piece of deviltry, anyhow." "Nol" replied his companion, with marked decision in his tones (possessing him self of his hat and muffler) "not by a lone chalk—a very long chalk, indeed. Good night!"

AN ENGLISH PEASANT.

Bit Johx Blaukman,

I PvEMEMKER poor old A rden, And his hazel-skirted garden, And his cottage with its roses in the corner of the lane ;

And the land his landlord granted, And the many flowers he planted,

Which he loved for love of beauty, more than for a love of gain.

Arden was a quiet neighbour, And he earned his bread by labour, Sometimes in the meadow mowing, Sometimes in the field at plough ;

He rose early in the morning,

Whan the cock crowed out the warning, That the lark had gone up singing to Aurora's golden brow.

When his lonp; day's work was over, In the fields of wheat and clover, Many were the happy voices which this simple peasant heard ; And he welcomed each new comer, "Jhrough the spring and through the

summer, Whether it were flower dew-laden, humming

bee or merry bird.

Pretty maidens of the village, And young swains long used to tillage, Would oft pause to view his cottage, and

resume tlieir floral search ; And with faces, bright aad rosy, They would cull a Sunday posy, Ere they crossed the sheeny pathway on towards the ivy'd church. When the radiant sunset glistened On his apple trees, he listened To the linnet 'inong the bushes, with green

leaves and blossoms blent; The fair landscape gave him pleasure, But the trees he deemed a treasure, For they bore the ripening burdens which

made up his yearly rent

The great world he little heeded,

Self-reform his thoughts was needed, Hence he strove to do his duty, with com posure in hia looks ;

Sat at eve among the foliage,

Drew from Nature stores of knowledge ; Held communion with his Maker while he read the Book of books.

Thus he lived till old and weary, Out upon the moorland dreary, He fell dead among the heather, —twenty

years have passed since then. Now in yonder churchyard lonely, Where 'mid grass bloom daisies only, May be seen one grave unnoted, —'tis (he grave of jioor old Ben.

Long has passed that plodding peasant, And his cot and garden pleasant; From the place where oft lie laboured with

his spade and pruning knife. And if we like honest Arden, Live and toil in Virtue's garden. Then how sweet will be the flowers, and how rich the fruits of life.

A ROMANCE IN RHYME.

He was then a jaunty young feller, With a sort of gentleman air. That was very particular pleasm' And what you might call debonair. I'm aware that expression is Frenchy, And rather high daddy, perhaps ; Which accounts that I have the acquaintance Of several quality chap 3.

But he got to increann' his do?es. And took 'em more oft^n he did ; And it growed on him faster and faster Till inter a bummer he slid. I was grieved to ohs-rvc this here feller A shovin' himself down the grade, Ann T lecturei h m ontn jt sometimes At tne risk of its spilin' the trade.

At last he got thunderin' s<>edy. And he lost his respect for himself, And all his high notions of honor Was bundled ay ay on the shelf. But at times he was dreadful remorseful. Whenever he'd stop to think, And he swear to reform himself frequent, And end it by takin' a drink.

What saved that young feller ? A woman! She done it in a singlerest way ; He come into the bar room one even' (He hadn't been drinkin'that day), And he sot himself down t-i a table With a terrible sorrowful face, And lie sot there a groanin' repeated, And collin' Limsslf a gone case.

He was thinkin' and thinkin* and thinkin', And 'cussin himself for his fate, And ended his thinkin as usual By orderin' a Bourbon straight. He was holdin' the glass in his fingers, "When into the place from the street There came a young girl like a spirit. "With a face that was powerful sweet.

Ahd she glided right up to the table And took the glass gently away ; And shq aays too him: " George, it is over • I am only a woman to-day ! • I rejected you once in roy anger, Bnt I come to you lowly and meek. For I can't live without you. my darling, I thought 1 was strong, but I'm weak.

"You are bound in a terrible bondage, And I come, lore, to shara it with you ; Is there shame in the deed ? I can't bear it For at last to my Jove I am true ; I have turned from the home of my childhood, And I come to lover and friend, Leaving comfort, contentment, and honor, And I'll stay to the terrible end.

Is thnre hunger and want in the future? I will share it with you ajid not shrink I And together we'll join in the pleasures, The woes and the dangers of drink. Then she raised up the glass firm and steady, But her face was an pale as the dead— Here's to wine and the joys of cirousols, The songs and the laughter, she said.

Then he riz up. his face like a tempest, And took the glass out of her hand, And slum? it away stern and savage, And I tell you his manner was grand f Anft he says, " I've done with it, Nelly, And I'll turn from the ways I have trod, And I'll live to be worthy of you, dear, So help me a merciful God !

You have saved mo, my love and my darling, On a noble ani womanly plan ; Go back to your home till I seek you In the garb and the strength of a man. * * # # *

A FIENDISH REVENGE.

TWO CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH BY A

DISCHARGED DOMESTIC,

Papers by the San Francisco mail give the following particulars of a most diabolical crime :—Some weeks ago a woman calling herself Bridget Malhony. applied to Pr Jack son, of Columbus, Ky., for the place of cook. Employment was given her, and for a short , while she gave satisfaction. A few days ago the doctor noticed some irregularities in her life, and notified her that ahe must look out for another home. 'This appeared to infu riate her beyond control —the pent-up devil in her nature burst forth 3 in a fury of pas sion that sent the doctor scampering for the police, and the family for an asylum of safety. When he returned, Bridget had de parted, leaving his mirrors and furniture a wreck. It appears that, from a mistaken kindness, she was not prosecuted, but allowed to depart unmolested. From his residenc she went to the hotel or boarding-house ke . by an estimable German Catholic nam , Switzher, near the M. and 0. railroad. Sf easily imposed herself upon the goodnature,e thiß lady, and was permitted to stop with h ° © P

Paying her board in work. She behaved badly again, and Mrs S. discharged her. Instead of going' off, however, she went up into Mrs JS.'s room (it was immediately after breakfast) and sent for this lady from the dining-room. When she got into her presence she commenced to abuse her in a most shameful manner. Mrs Switcher tried to quiet her, and expressed sympathy for her. Bridget told her that site had better sympathise with herself, and made at her. Mrs S. rushed down stairs leaving her three children, consisting of a little boy four years old, and two daughters, aged respectfully six and ten, in the room. The oldest says that the two children were in the bed, with the mosquito bar fastened (town around it, and that Bridget deliberately took the kmp and saturated the bed and children with coal oil and fired it. Before assistance could reach them,the passage was a solid sheet of flame, and the two children were burned with the house and most of the furniture. The fiend is in prison, and the poor mother is nearly distracted with grief at her terrible loss.
