And In dents nnd In sears cm his helmet burs
Wero the tales or his combats wrought,

He had drank moro sparkllnti. wine,
And had uttered more onllis and had broken

Than did ever n knight on the IUilne.

That he never would bow to Pope or the KlhR
Ho lo.ig as his sw ord was bright.
Perched on n crag mid the drifting clouds,
The outlaw hadbultded hlsncst,
And he scanned the rlet froin noith to south,
And the valley from east to west.
Over tholllver he stretched n chain, J
Alul Ihe boats that paused each day,
liefore they could sail either up or down,
Were forced n tributetopay,
Once a year from his st roimhold he sallied forth,
At the head of n hundred men,
And, laden with spoils from rich and poor
Came hack t his home again.
Not a pilgrim knocked nt his castle gate,
Not ft Havener nsked to stay;
P.u teach crossed hlmsetfwhenhesawthe lower,
Then hastily sped on his way,
And more tlinn u score of hardy knight,
Who had striven to rid the laud
Of his fearful eurso had fallen beneath
The stroke of the robber's hand.
Thus long had ho lled ami loud had he laughed

Ami declared with the fiercest offlcrman oaths
That he ft sovereign was ltorn.

And loud groaned the tables with cheer,
And (lie wine was fjuarred from golden flips,
Thatwerestolen from altars near.
Then upiose the Hitter, and In his hnnd
Held a llagon of choice Moselle,
And rapping his sword on the oaken board.
Said I fain would something tell.
Not one," cried he, "have I tiver found
Who was sti onger or braver than I ;
The le exists not a being on Karthor In Hell

Thus the stranger gravely spoke,
"And In answer to prayers from ruined homes,

I have listened full oft to thy boastful speech,
And have followed thee home to the llhine,
To dare thee to draw thy bloody sword,
And to measure thy strength with nunc.
"Brave thou art, by my faith, I trow."
The Rltter with rage began ;
"Throw back thy etoalc, and draw thy blade,
And show thyself a man.
In the deepcnlns gloom the Hitter fought
And labored hard for breath.
"Tlsnouse," said the stranger, "to strive with

At length, just as It grow dark, wo

learnt that Ilroeklebank kept the lloyal
Liver .Store, near tho head of the gully.
It was almost dark, nnd I had tum

SlIAVlNCi, 11A1H CUTT1NO
It is now nearly fifteen years ago
since I was attacked by an epidemic
di-oider which prevailed extensively
at that time among the young men of
the United Kingdom. It was common
ly styled the gold-fever, and tho fit
seized mo veri suddenly. I called one
evening in Camden Town it wns a
plea-ant nlry suburb at that time to
seo to bachelor friends of mine who
shared lodgings together. I found the
iloor of their sitting-room lumbered
with boxes.
" What aro you doing'."' I asked in
iistonl-liment.
" Wu'ro off for the gold-diggings."
"Ity what ship '!"
" The John Taylor ; next Wednesday
week."
I recklessly flung my hat to tho other
end of tho room, gave such a leap that
my head nearly bumped against tho
c'illng, nnd cried,
" I will go witli you."
" Thnt's right, old boy," they respon
ded. Go and securo your passage tho
first tiling in tho morning. She's fill
ing up quick."
The London atmosphere was nt that
time surcharged witli an auriferous In
sanity. The gray, sober light of morn-1
Ing did not Induce mo to swerve from
my resolution of tho previous night ;j
on the contrary, as soon ns tho governor
appeared at the counting-house I boldly
walked Into his private room, and dis
charged myself.
Tho governor was, and, I nm thank
ful to say, is still, for I am once moro
back In the old shop, a very Jolly fel
low. " You going too, Parker? Wcll.well,
I'm sorry for it ; but if you young men
vlll insist on seeing the diggings, I
supposo you mW. Make, out ft check
for your salary, and I'll sign It."
1 next rushed oil" to the firm vvho
vere agents for tho John Taylor. Dis
mal news : uvery berth on board of her
was engaged. 1 had to take my paasago
by another ves-scl, and this accident
probably led to the adventure which I
have undertaken to relate.
I shall not descrlbo the voyage on
in company I had dimo so for several
successive nights. On hearing Fry's
voice, Urocklebank came lo tho door of
Ihl' Rontrs in the most nnnrnveil Rnns of. tl'nti lim' 1 Wi,s llt "-'o prepossessed , Urocklebank," I heard a rougli old dl

"This," says Fry, in the most ungra-1 thnt Urocklebank should trust me, an
clous way, pointing to me as if I was , entire stranger, so implicitly, and I
ed upon witli no small awe, for although
only a twelvemonth in the colony, ho
was reported to have amassed a fortuuo
lu tho diggings, nnd was now on tho
point of returning to England. More
over, ns Mr. Mills was thirty years of
ago, and had a prematurely bald ibte
head ho assumed quite a fatherly air
towards a youngster like me, for I was
not yet out of my teens, and my beard
was still all "underground."
"Why don't you go up, young man?"
says Mr. Millsonu morning, as wo Mood
cleaning our boots in the yard. (The
landlord kindly provided bru-hes and
blacking.)
"Ilecaiise I'm waiting to hear where
my friends are."
"Pooh, sir; never wait for friends in
this country. Everyday In town is a
day lost. Every day there is so much
gold subtracted from the soil, anil every
day, consequently, thero Is so much le-s
loft for new-comers. Why not go up

Hahlwin and Fry.
"No moro do I," ho retorted. "No
body knows anybody in tills delightful
country. Haldwin does n't know Fry,
Fry does n't know H.thhvin. I know
neither of 'em, except as members of
tho Duko of York Harmonic Society. I
have heard Haldwin say that he was
first counterman tof.i grocer in tho
Klngsland Hoad, on that topic I have
no certain Information ; but I tlo know
that lie sings n good song. Ho throw
a pathos into that popular ditty,
Tlieu words Impressed meiimazlngly.
How delightful it would bo, with noth
ing but a tin dish, to wash out in the
courso of tlio morning gold enough for
n week's board I I reckoned thus.' "Be

ly wasli out twelve dishes full of dirt;
well, If ouch nf thoso dishes only con
tains twelve grniusof gold, the merest
specks possible, I shall have six penny
weights of gold, worth eighteen shillings
or n pound." Such wero my sanguine
expectations.
Before going to bed that night,
Hroe'tlcbank, according lo a custom
which ho told mo he invariably observ
ed, went carefully over nil the little
packets of gold-dust which lie had
bought, either during thai day or on
forn.' r occasions.
"Twcnty-sevoii packet'," I heard him
say aloud.
lie then placed tliem, box and nil, ill
tlie little receptacle under the floor of
the t?nt, unchained Boxor, the bull
mastiff, wlio had been tied up during
tho day, examined the capping of his
revolver, placed It beneath hlslicd with
in arm's length, and retired to rest.
Perhaps I had slept loo soundly the
night before, perhaps I was excited by
the thoughts of llio glittering gold
which I hoped to wash out on tho mor
row, at any rate, for some reasons or
other, I was unable lo get to sleep. At
last,tlred Nature asserted her dominion,
and I dozeil off Imperceptibly. I cannot
say how long I had been asleep, when I
awoke suddenly witli a con vulsl vo start,
opened my eyes, and gazed confusedly
niound me. But was I really nwako,
or was this merely an attack of night
mare'.' Wlint I saw was sufficiently
disquieting. Urocklebank had been tho
last to get into bed, nnd ho had extln-
iiuls' od tho candle. But when I nwoko
-or fancied I had awoke, for on the
following morning I attributed nil my
terrors to the heaviness of an unicaven-
d cake which I had eaten for euppcr,
when I awoke, my eyes wort dazzled
by a bright light, and I presently per
ceived that there were no less than
threo candles burning, two on tho coun
ter where wo wore accustomed to weigli
out the groceries, and one on the floor.
I was still more surprised to observe
that Urocklebank was out of bed, par
tially drex-ed, and thnt lio was stoop
ing over tho cavity whore ids treasures
wero deposited. Ilis back was towards
me, so that I could not discern ids face,
or make out what ho wns doing; but
after n lew moments, ho rose to ids foot
and confronted me. 1 was horrified.
Tiie handsome face, which a few hours
calm, busi-
now distort
ed by passion; tho eyes which had
sparkled witli a kindly shrewdness,
now glared wildly, yot in such a vacant,
objectless manner, that they appeared
totally unconscious that I was staring
into them with nil my might. A few
moments later, after he had carefully
replaced the flag which concealed Ills
gold-chamber from ordinary view.
Ilroeklebank put his hand beneath his
a cur-dog, "i a chap I came up the resolved to work ns zealously ai I could bed, and drew out his revolver. The
road witli. 1 don't know anything
about him," ho added, In an audible
whisper.
"Have you no friends on lieudigo V"
asked Urocklebank, kindly.
"None that 1 mil find to-night," I re-
' piled, blushing like ti school-girl, "but
I hopo to find tliem in a day or two."
I Sjiiio whispered conversation took
I place between Fry and Hrocklebaulc
after this.
"I must tako the poor boy in," I
heard the latter say.
"Well, don't hold mo responsible,"
growled tho former ; "l know nothing
