A Chieftain's Revenge.

MANY ages hick, when a powerful but ca pricious chief of Glengarry was erecting the vouernblo mid stern mansion whose ruins still daunt the stranger's eye, lie very injudiciously cho-o Ins companion und favourite fr,'m the humblest class of his re tainers ; and this, like the generality of favourites, once corrupted by a superior's improper familiarity, soon forgot prudence and propriety. One day, when the castle's infant wails had just uprcarcd their massy front over the foundation, and while their warlike founder, in company with another chief was superintending and admiring the progress of the building, up came the fa vourite with the greatest air of confidence, and without even saluting, as was then cus tomary, bis lord and chief, the dread pos sessor of unlimited feudal power, accosted him thus, in the presence of a recently con ciliated rival—" Alas ! poor chief, know ye what the M'flhothians .say 1 They call you miser, and enquire, how conies it tiiat you could not spare a litt c silver and gold to be placed in thy castle's foundation, aa is cus tomary with other chiefs? Your present companion, they say," alluding to the chief already noticed, "has as much silver in the foundation of his castle as would buy yours." At this tho stranger sneer, d with liondisb pleasure, seeing him whoso friend ship fear, not love, prompted him to court, but whom he fervently hated ;it heart, so much insulted by his own vassal. The chief himself was too severely slung—bis r.ige was too gigantic to stoop to instantaneous re venge ; besides,it was derogatory for a chief to inflict personal chastisement on a vassal, and impracticable to do so in presence of another chief; but his brow was clouded, and his face was darkened as he spoke— until recollecting himself he smothered up his rage, and c dca,vuuring to assume an appoaranco of cheerfulness, exclaimed — '"You are light, Kanouil, [ have quite omitted to do what you remind me of, I therefore thank you f<>r the hint, and be lieve me 1 allow you more merit, from a convict on that I mn directly or indirectly beholden to those you mention for the BUU gestion, as it is not their own custom to do the like ; howoVi r, it should bo done, and, with your assistance, wo will correct the omission to.night." The vassal retired chuckling, at what lie considered the effect of his inllueuce. It is impossible to dis cover the cause which luid prompted him to talk so insultingly to Iris lord and master ; some attribute it to the disappointment of dishonest expectations, supposing that he intended to lib tract any jewellery which might be dcposi'ed as a memento in the foundation; while others imagine that his chief must have previously oll'emled him, and that the insult was intended ; but more probably his main object win to ingratiate himself with the .stranger. M'Kauotiil lived in a small solitary cot tage, a considerable distance from the resi dence of his chief, ami, hit-; on tbe night in question, he was startled in his slumber by a loud knocking at tho door; he arose trembling, with a secret dread of some thing unknown, and shuddered involun tarily as he opom (1 his door to discover the cause of this disturbance. He opened it, and lo ! th<:re Btnod Us chief, alone, with a naked dagger in his baud, and a dark lantern in the other, frowning liko a spirit of vengeance. The frightened vassal at this terrilic sight quickly sunk on his bonded knee to implore his chieftau's grace and mercy, his heart bursting with remorse and sorrow, but the ear of vengeance would not listen to tho importunities of remorse, nor to the supplicating sighs of fear. " Come," said the stern and angry chief, "arise, shake oil' that ague fit ami follow me, for I require your sotvico!" To disobey the chict was a crime unknown and unheard of in those days, and the peremptory com mand and determined appearance showed the vassal that remonstrance or question was vain and futile ; so with a tremulous hand ho arrayed himself in his best apparel, with a bursting and a yearning heart—

He b:ulo liis wito and children dear,

Along, uliv.itadieu, and mournfully prepared to follow his chief. They sallied forth in silence and in gloom, the doomed man (for he knew his fate was sealed), marched sullenly behind. Neither seemed inclined to disturb the drowsy stillness which reigned around them; and as they inarched along, the owl's screech voice assailed the vassal's ear, proclaiming the ominous words, "Man, prepare to die !" and ever and anon, when the glaro of the chi fa dim lantern gleamed upon him, it showed tlic unhappy victim the diabolical smile which grinned on his chief's countenance at the proximity of such a feast of vengeance. At length they reached the castle, in the deep nlenuo of midnight; where the chief, pointing to n gloomy excavation which he had caused that night to be made in its foundation, desired his vassal to enter, which ho, with out the least hesitation did, mourning as lie went, and wringing his hands in utter grief. As soon as he entered lie saw tho muscular chief with great difficulty roll a ponderous stone over the mouth of his dim and dreary sepulchre, and heard him chanting to himself, as in mockery, the M'ltanonil's dirge; but these cheerless sounds soon grew faint and ultimately died away. The chief now quitted the castle, in tonding to drown all thoughts of its forlorn captive tynid.it the riot and luxurious turbulence which a chief tan's life afforded, but ho found himself mistaken. The foul deed he had that night performed made a deep and indelible impression on his mind, and go where he would ho wandered like a forlorn outcast, changed, dejected, and thoughtful. Wherever ho roamed his weeping captive came trembling to his mind. If awake, it was of him, and him only that he thought, and if asleep he dreamed only of him, and often, in the deep ntilluess "of night, a sullen voice whispered in his ear—" The heavy punishment you have inflicted on your clansman is too seycro for the venal crime be committed, therefore you cannot expect to fight victoriously under such a load of guilt." It happened that at this time the chj.ef was about to enter into a struggle witK'an aggressive and powerful neighbour, and on the result of this combat depended his o^VB and Irs clansmen's lives. Their antaco". nists • <ere far superior in point of number and were warriors renowned for their won derful ■ exploits—for fearlessness, dariujr and courage; but they vero a ruthless and relentlcso enemy, and whoever they van qmshed they utterly destroyed. They seemed to fight not for any chivalrous honour, but rather from the devilish plea sure they had in reducing to ashes that which other -nen took months and years to bu: d. In short, these spoilers took great umbrage at tke chief of Glengarry, which meant certain destruction, unless he could defeat them in arms, and so he, in despera tion determined a.s his only chance of safety to hazard * battle. Yes, he would Lave a struggle a fierce and furious tims£ ere lie sank beneath the iron hand of a despotic rival; and if ho did fall le, like his° £5 7 ™,ld wound the earth in j™' , He would not bleed liice the tSS rt a°\ wouM he imi tate the timid hind and seek safety by /light! No I Oppressor! ' ***" °le ' JOneS of his On the tenth day after the activity of

his late favourite, he had his clan mar shalled and uiuli-r arms, awaiting the appmach of the foe whom he had challenged to meet i.im there to settle thair dispute by open combat. His warriors were all burn ing for distinction in the field, but none more ardently than himself, and as he glanced proudly along their line he smiled on hearing them curse the lazy foe who loggia so tardily on their way to meet him. This was in the vicinity of tho rising castle, anil as he wi-hed to enter tho light as guiltless as possible, it struck him that ho had better relieve himself, if possible from thcgiiiltof his prisoner s undeserved misery, and to effect this purpose he stolo unper ceived to the-vault, and with the assistance of a common plank, used as a lever, ho soon laised up the huge stone, and having placed a sufficient counterpoise to preserve the entrance, ho entered, but scarcely had he done so when snap went the lever, and down came the stone with a tremen dous force. In an instant he perceived the fearful calamity which had befallen him, 11 c knew that all was now over, for i' was impossible to remove the stone from the interior of the vault; and, in terrible despair, he But, or threw himself down, writhing with extreme mental agony. To make his misery greater he heard (or thought he heard) his trusty clansman ex pressing their amazement at his unexpected and cowardly desertion, and heaid (or thought he heard) the sentinels, whom he himself had placed, proclaim with ex tended lungs—" The foe 1 they come ! they come I 1 and then he heard the din of war on the heath, and the shock of battle sound, " like a crash of echoing thunder," and then the shout triumphant of his foes —and oh ! ho would have given his very soul's redemption for power to arise from that murky dungeon and stalk to the midst of tho combat like an angel of death—

And perish if it must bo so. At buy destroying many a foe,

When the sounds of strife and every hope had died away, the shout triumphant, and the dying yells, he thought on the lone sharer of his captivity, whom he could dis cover was still alive, and he wondered that the soul, ever cagor as an iron-bound piisoner to escape, should be enticed by such misery to linger—for his part ho would rather flutter liko tho butterfly through its sweet though short career, than live, like the toad, a thousand years prisoner to a marble block. As ho mused thus in pain ful silence his deliverance arrived. They were hi.s victorious foes—and those of his own clan who had survived the iield of battle—the little remnant who had but now given his little band liko chaff to tho four warring winds of the earth.

The ? tone was rolled away, and one by one they droti, ed into tho vault, but each as he entered fell a victim to the fury of its angry and exasperated inmate, who shortly after wards, with the aid of his old favourite vassal, quitted its gloomy precincts, leaving his enemy and his laurels thero to wither and In die,

CHILD MURDER IN SYDNEY.

A child murder in the Flagstaff Reserve has caused a great .sensation in Sydney, Thcstory of thecrime,bricfly told, would seem to bo as follows -.—Between 9 and 10 on Wednesday night Constablo Black saw a woman ami a child lying down in the Reserve. Ho told her to go away home, or be would lock her up. She mado no reply, and as .-lie did not seem to understand him he went away, Some four hours later the saaic woman wus seen by CoDstable Black hiius in the enclosure. She was then by herself. Ho asked her what she wan doing, when sho was understood to reply "Nothing," although it was stated in Court on Friday that sho could not understand, and did not speak English. She thin quickly glided out of his sight under the trees. Thero can bo little (,'ouot that nt that time the murder had been com mitted. Next morning, shortly before 6, the body was discovered by constable Stuart, und was afterwards identified as .ho body of Alphonso Boyer. The mother H was known was a Frenchwoman, who, on inquiries being made, it was found had left her place in Middle Harbour, where duo hud been employed, on Wodnesday afternoon. The police exercised all their iugouuity to find the woman, and yet it was not till 7 o'clock on Friday morning that hlki was: discovered. She was then found lying down just inside the fence of tho Governor's residence beyond Circular Quay, near the steps. Sho was at once re moved to tho lockup, and was subsequently taken to the Coroner's Court, where she remained in custody during the inquiry ._ The prisoner has an unmistakable foreign face, of dark complexion, but it is more that of a Swede or German than a French woman, although tho interpreter (a French man) considers she bears general resemb lance to the deportees to be found at Mew Caledonia. She has prominent cheek bones and a square lower jaw. The eyes are deep set, and the general expression of the face is one of vacancy. She is 38 years of age. As she eat in Court she seemed utterly regardless of the terrible position in which she was placed. She ia a small made woman, dressed in a dark skirt and shawl, which she kept lightly folded over her chest, upon which she wore a light print body with pearl buttons down the front. She had a small gold earring in her right ear, but none in her left. She wore a black straw hat trimmed with black velvet, the hat being brought down deeply over her eyes, so much so that it had to be several times removed for the purpose of identifica tion, She is stated to be a very illiterate woman, who can neither read nor write, and she looks it. Her name is Marie Lee.

At the coronet's iuquMt, Constable Stuart, of No. 4 police station, deposed: Yesterday morning, a few minutes before 6 o'clock, I was crossing the Flagstaff-hill, and when at the top of the hill I observed the body of a child lying on its face, with its right arm under its head, in one of the enclosures about eight yards from the wooden fence on the south-side of the hill, near to a cottage. I then went for Benior-constablo jp,ay, and on his arrival he turned the body O y er . and we saw it was dead. I saw marks on c right Bide of its forehead, and the heair waß very muott swollen, and the eyelids were black. The hands and face of the child were v£-7 dirty# Tne body was not cold, and seemed not 0° havo >>een dead lone. There were marks of aßu :u& le and of blo? d' The marks of a struggle were f°otmarl «> and bloody leaves on the £;r? und' ? ve ?{ six yards from where the body, aT l c,°, uld not distinguish what sort of footmarks u le^ were. The ground was soft there ■3 j account of its being a sort of plough: c? garden. The body has since been identifi as that of Alphonse Boyer. Police-constable Robert Black, doi- ?% duty at No. 4Station, deposed : I recogn '^ c the woman now before the Court w gives her name as "Marie Lee." I B awl ™ on Wednesday night between 9 and o'clock ou the Flagstaff Hill, she w <as laying on her right side with her head up lon the carpet bag (produced), near the fence J? n the south side of the Observatory, but t north side of the fence round the tr l e" Ihere was a child lying on the ground y

her vide. It wa<J rolled up in something dark. I asked her why she was lying there Ht th.i hour of the ni R lir. She Rat up ami said something 1 could nor, under? and. The child, however. .Ua aot move. 1 sun certain of the id entity of the woman, it is the tliAwl and hat. Tho Coron-ir: I would1 not accept identity by those. There are plenty of shawls und hats alike. Witness : I am certain it is the woman. It was a bright moonlight night, and I saw her half way across the Plagstdtt, I did not see the child's face. I told her if she did not go away I would lock her up. The Coroner : What right had you to do that? Any person has a right to sleep there if they like. So long as they ate not break ing the law there is nothing to prevent a man sleeping in tha open air. Constable : I only Mid her tlra so that she would go away. I often do so. Coroner : Oh, you did it to frighten her. Constabli): Yea. The Interpreter : I h<ivtf known people taken up for nlesping in Hyde Park, and to cetl4 days too I . Coroner : Illegally. As I have ofcen said before, any person may sleep in the open air, so lomr as he or she is not offending against the public decency. And this they will find out, too, if the parties would go to the Supreme Court fora prohibition. Interpreter : It is very hard for people to be locked up for i.fJcnding asaiost no law. The Coroner: Yes ; and I have no doubt it is much move pleasant and healthy to sleep iv the pwks than in some of the wretched hovels with which this city abounds. Witness (continued): As she did not seem to understand me and comply with my request, I turned away. At tbat time she had ju-t lifted the child up, Constable Backhaus dtpo»ed : I saw pri soner in the enclosure of the Flagstaff at half-past 1 o'clock yesterday morning. I nsked her whit she wa« doin?, and she replied in a low tone. I thought die said "nothing." I told her to get out of that, which she did. I saw nothing more of her after that.

It was about 10 or 15 yards from tlie spot, where the body was fouuil. It was a moon light nipht, but tne moon was low, and it was dark under the trees. Senior-constable Jolm H. Hay deposed : At 6o'clock yesterday morning I went to the Flagstaff Reserve in company with Coustable Stuart. In an enclosure at the south cud of the reserve I found the dead body of a runic child, apparently about three >ears of ago. It was lyinsj on its face, and blood was oozing from the back of the left ear. 1 hero appeared to be two or three dents or depressions in the fore head. -The eyes were very black ana swollen. The handkerchief produced was twined twice ronnd the throat very tightly, but was not tied. About eight yards away from where the body was lying there were marks of flood upon some stones and leaves. The blood leaked as if It had been spattered, ami a child's car. (produced) was found at the spot. I removed the body to the police station, and then returned to the enclosure to make an examination. It was then that I found the cap. By the j.try: The handkerchief was rolled tightly round the neck. It was twined rounfi twice, a? if somebody had done it to hold the body still. The body was lying on the face. Kobert Hunter, a legally qualified medical practitioner, deposed to being called to are tlio deceased at tho Cumberland street police station. Kxternally the only mark of violence he saw waa a wound over tho right eye and a number of contusions on the head. In the afternoon he made a post-mortem examination of the body by di rectionof the coroner. Onremovingthescalp ho found a largo quantity of fluid blood on tho richt side of the head, tound a large clot of blood at tho back of the head, and others close by, all corresponding with con tusions at the back of the scalp. Ihe membranes and brain were very much con gested, and he aleo found a fracture of the skull r which waa the cau?e of death. The batten produced would inflict such injuries. By the jury : Death must have been instan taneous almost. The child could not live with such an effusion of blood. Though the brain might have been inactive from the blows, the heart rniaht have been active. It might possibly have been a eradual death—the child might not have died for two or three hoars after the injuries to tne head were inflicted. There was an out pouring of blood and effusion of tho brain. Antonio Amaral deposed: I reside at Manly Beach aud am a dairyman. I know the woman before the Court. I knew her as " Marie." She lived with me on for nine days, and left mo at noon on Tuesday. She was a servant at our place, and helped to milk. I engaged her and her husband at f1 a week. The man was with me a day and halt. He said he was her husband. Ho left in the middle of the night without giving me notice. The prisoner had a pretty little boy between two and three years old. I did not see anything of the woman or the little boy of ter they left. After her husband went away I told her I should only give her 10?, but she told me she wanted 15 francs, and should not stay. When she went away she toou Jier carpet bag away, and I gave her half-a-sovcreign. I knew the little boy by the name of " Alpbonse," which tho mother called it. I this morn ing saw the dead body of Alphonse at the dead-house. 1 could not swear to the man's name ; I believe he was called Jack Lee. Sometimes eho treated tho child well; at other tirues she beat him when he did not deserve it. I did not know her before she came to me. She said she was from France, and had been in the colony three or four weeks. Witness: I gave hoc four half-crowns, and she told me that she could earn that in two days in Sydney. Other evidence was Riven showing that the prisoner had applied to a Benevolent Society in Sydney and stated that she had lately come down from San Francisco and had married a man named Francis W. Laye, who had no money. She received £4, and was provided with a place at 10s a week, and board for herself and child. She said the boy was named Alphonse Boyer and was the sou of her first husband, a baker, who died at Panama. She then went with some hundreds of francs (400) to San Francisco. There she lost it, although she put it in a bank, but losing the receipt for it, they refused to give her the money back. She theu left for Honolulu, from which place she came alongto Sydney. Evidence was given proving the marriage to Laye after arrival in Sydney. After a few minutes' deliberation the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against Marie Laye," and she was fully committed for trial.

Intensely Utter.-Effect of Culture on a Superlative Practical Pa.

A FEW months ago the daughter of a Rock land man, who has grown comfortably oil' in the small grocery line, was sent away to a female college and last week arrived home for the holiday vacation. The old man was in attendance at the depot when the train arrived, with the old horse in the delivery wagfon to convey his daughter and liei trnnk to the house. When the train had stopped a bewitching array of dry goods a wide-brimmed hat dashed from the car and flung itself into the elderly party's arms.

"Why, you superlative pa!" she ex claimed. " I'm so utterly glad to see you." The old man was somewhat unnerved by the greeting, but he recognised the seal skin cloak in his grip as the identical piece of property he bad paid for with the bay marc, and the sort of squat it up in his arms..and planted a kiss where it would do the most good, with a report that sounded above the noise of the depot. In a brief space of time the trunk and atten dant btggage were loaded into the wagon, which was soon bumping over the hubbies toward home.

"Pa, dear," said the miss, surveying the team with a critical eye, " do you con sider this quite excessive beyond ?' '' Hey ?' returned the old man with a puzzled air; "qni'e excessively beyond what ? beyond what ? beyond Warren ? 1 consider it somewhat about ten mile be yond Warren, couutin from the Bath way, if that's what you mean." " Oh, no, pa," you don't understand me," the daughter explained ;" I, mean this horse and waggon. Do you think they are soulful ! do you think they could ihey could be studied apart in the light of a symphony, or even a simple poem, and ap pear as intensely utter to one on returning home as one could express ?" The old man twisted uneasily in his seat, and muttered something about he be lie ved it used to be used for an express wagon before be bought it to deliver pork iv, hut the conversation appeared to be travelling in such a lonesome direction that lie fetched the L'rse a resounding crack on the rotunda, that the severe Ijolting over the frozen ground prevented further remarks. " Oh ! there is that lovely and cousum mate ma !" screamed the returned col legiatess as they drove up at the door, a^d prasently she was lost in the embrace of a motherly woman in spectacles. " Well, Maria," said the old man at the snpper table, as he nipped a piece of butter off the lump with his own knife, "an1 how d' you like your school'?"' " Well, there, pa, now you shou—l mean I consider it far too beyond," replied the daughter. "It is unquenchably ineffable. The girls are so sumptuously stunning—l mean grand —so exquisite —so intense. And then the parties, the balls, the rides— oh, the past weeks have been one sublime harmony." " I s'pose so—l s'pose so," nervously as sented the old man as he reached lor his thiid cup, "half full"—"but how about your books — readin', writin', grammar, rule o1 three—how about them ?'

"Pa, don't," exclaimed the daughter, re proachfully; "the rule of three! grammar ! it is French, and music, and painting, and the divine art that has made my school life the bos—l mean that have rendered it one unbroken flow of rhymic bliss—incompar ably and exquisitely all but." The grocery man and his wife looked helplessly at each other across the table. After a longsome pause the old lady said : " How do you like the biscuits, Mary ?" "They are too utter for anything," gushed the accomplished young lady, " atd this plum preserve is simply a poem in itself." The old man abruptly arose from the table and went out of the room, rubbing his head in a dazed and benumbed manner, and the mass convention was dissolved. That night he and his wife sat alone by the stove until a late hour, and at the break fast table the next morniDg he rapped smartly on his plate with the handle of his knife and remarked:

"Maria, me an' your mother have been talkin' the thing over, an' we've come to the conclusion tbat this boardin'-school business is too utterly all but too much nonsense. Me an' her consider that we haven't lived sixty odd consummate years for the purpose of raisin' a curiosity, an' there s goin' to be a stop put to this unquestionable foolishness. Mow, atter you've finished eatin' that poem of fried sausago an' that" symphony of twisted doughnut, you take an' dust up stairs, in less n two seconds, and peel that fancy go.wn and put on a calliker, an' then come down an' help your mother wash dishes. I want it distinctly understood that there ain't goin' to be no more rhythmic foolish ness in this house co long's your superla tive pa an' your lovely an' consummate ma's runnin' the ranch. You hear me, Maria!"

Maria was listening,

Reflections on the Milkman.

The milkman resembles the miner. He grows rich by pounding his quarts. A bat tered quart contains les3 milk, but the milk is just the thing tor a batter pudding. When he noes to the pond in the winter and finds it skimmed over, so much the better. Skimmed water and skimmed milK are peculiarly fitted to each other. Ice water is best for ice cream. The milkman who adulterates hia milk does an un-kine deed. The milkman is an early riser. When you have to Ret up of a cold morning to let him in, you are a knurly riser also. The milkman is a man of mark. You will find his mark on the kitchen door. But his mark is not a thing to adore. ■ No wonder he gets rich. When he sells you one quart he marks down a score. The milkman who sells poor milk always tarns ont bad. The milkman who puts chalk in his milk should be careful and not get it chalkfull. The purified curd of milk ia called caeeine, but this is not a case in pint- not in the pint you generally buy. It just occurred to us, and we mentioned it merely as a matter of curd. See? llt is the basis ot cheese. Base is cheesa without it. _ • Some persons complain because the milk man mixes one can of milk with another. They complain without cause. It is a case of six (quarts) in one and half-a-dozen iv the other. The milkman usually rides alone, or with a boy on his wagon. Ho always, however, has more than one gallon. Milk is called a lacteal fluid, because some families, when they do not have it, lack tea all day. The milkman does not give his milk away. Neither does he travel by the milky way. The milkman makes his coming known by a rap, though his milk is not always worth a rap. The milkman is a true blue. So some times is his milk.

Ho is usually a quiet fellow, but is some times known by his 'cream. He is not so bad as he is painted. If all were true that has been said of him, one might believe the milk route the route of all evil.—" Boston Transcript."
