AN XUISII HIGHWAYMAN.
BY DENSON K. HILL.
Dr. W ■ the Bishop of Cashel, having occa
ftioii to visit Dublin, accompanied by his wife and
daughter, determined to perform the journey by easy
stages, in bis own Carriage, and with bis own sleek
and well-fed horsosi instead of trusting his bones to
tho tender .mercies of an Irish post chaise, and-tho
pnbruken gamns used for drawing these .craty
vehicles. • .
One of his rotHo was through a and
rnonntainnils district; and the bishop,.being a.very
liumuiio man, and considerate of his cuttle, made a
point of quilting his carriage at the front of every
- hill, and walking to the top/ On one of these dcoa.
.Dions ho Injfi loitered to look, ut tlio* cxlcnqiyc.pras
p£et, indulging in q reverie upon its sterile appear
a*ico/3£*t-i.na change that agriculture .might produce
p t nd Irrsp doing, suffered his family-and servants to
ho. considerably In utjvahpc} perceiving this, ho
hastened to make Up for lust timo ohd was stepping
nut with Ids j«sl speed, when a follow leaped out
from behind a.'ti&ip of ,loose stoops, and accompany
ing the flourish of a huge club with a demoniac yellj
demanded “Money!” with a Terodity of lone and
manner perfectly appalling. _ •
. The bishop gave the robber till (lie silver.ho had
-loose in his pocket,hoping that it would satisfy him,
ffibtjio was mistaken; for no sooner had thc'ruitiaii
nw “>’ a capacious ipnt.i;! ‘his tattered
.ggrniftit, limn with, another whirl of his hlugoon end
oh awful oath he exclaimed:
“And is It .with thd'llkcs of lids, l)m Iclting.y.ou
hlf! a few palify tinpennice! It’s tho gould i’ll
have, or Ml spatter yodr brains. Arru-h, don’t stand
shivering anqshaking there like a Quaker in tho
ague, but lug ciit yodr purso, you devil, immediately, 1
or. I*ll bate yoli us blue ns a wheUlone.”
Ilia Jordt*fit|> most .reluctantly yielded, Ids \yell- j
filled purse,* spying In tromiilutis accents, " My good
fellow, there it is f >tfon*t ill use mo—l've given you
all, pray lot uiy dcpa»U!l| ■
,“Fiiir, ami plaso; and sure as I'm.
not a gohrf rcllfflßMpHv’nt done with you
piusl case, for |’ll engage yon
payable at the bank; so hand
it over or you’ll sup sorrow to night.”
It was given up; u gt.mcd ut the road showed that
ail hope of assistance from his servant was unavail,
lug—lho »arrlnga,had disappeared, but the. bishop
made nn instinctive movement as though unSiouS to
escape further pillage, , .
“Wail awhile; or may bo I shall got angry with
you; hand over your watch ami seals; and then you
may trudge.” r
Now it happened that the divine felt a particular
regard for his walcli—not so much from its being of
considerable value, hut because it hud been presented
to him by his first patron—and ho ventured to ex
postulate.
"Surely you have taken enough; leave’mo'my
watch, and I’ll forgive all you have done.”
. " Who ax’d yonr forgiveness, you old varmint ?
Would you tilde with my good nature?. Don't force
mb to do anything I'd bo syrry fur—but without any
more bather, Just give mo the watch, or by all that’s
holy ”
Ami ho jerked the biugcon from Ids right hand to
his loft, spot in tho horny palm of tho former, ond
ro-graspod Iho formidable weapon us though serious*
v bent on bringing it into operation ; this action
was not his victim—-ho droty forth tho
gotten lime piece, und with a heavy sigh handed It
to his spoiler, who, rolling tho chains and seals round
it, found some wider aperture m his apparel Into
which ho crammed U and giving himself a shako to
ascertain that it hatl found, by its own gravity, a
place of safety, he said I ■ -
" And now bo off wld you, and thank tho blissod
saints' that you lave mo without a scratch on your
akin, or tho vuiuo of your littlo finger hurt.”
It needed no persuasion to induce tho bishop to
turn bis back upon the dospoilur of his worldly goods,
and having no weight to carry, ho sot off at what
equestrians term a 1 hand cantor;’ scarcely, however,
had ho reached tho middle of the precipitous road,
whan ho perceived his persecutor running after him.
He endeavored to redouble hie speed. Aina! what
chanco had ho in a race with ono whose muscles
were as strong and elastic as high tempered steel?
“Slop, you nlmblo-loolcd thief of tho world 1’
roared (ho robber—‘slop, I tell you I Tvo a parting
word wid you J*
Tho exhausted and defenceless clergyman, finding
|t impossible to continue his {light, suddenly came |
Jo a stand still, Tho fellow approached, and his face I
|ns toad of its former ferocity, was lit up with a
whimsical roguishness of expression ns ho said t
“And Is it likely l*d lot you off with a boltpr.oont
® n your back than my own? and will 1 Ip/aftes

willi them this moment, and then you'll bo quit o’ i
Wo." **■ - 1 •.
Tho footpad quickly divested (ho bishop edits sin*
?io breasted coat—laid violfant hands open the blorl-
Cu * hat and full.bottomed wig—nut them on his own
person, and then insisted on sfceing lilb apparel used
their stead; and with a loudhogli Von off, as
jijoogh Ida last feat was the most meritorious of Ida
thankful at having osenpod with unbrokon hhnes,
da lordship was not long in overtaking his carriage;
1,0 servants could not repress (heir laughter at see*

f.» . r ® WQB id his face such evidences of lorror and
Uttering, that they speedily checked tlioir ritiiblo In*
clinationtf,-particularly when they learnt by a few
brief words tbo danger ho had undergone;
“My dour W—r—,” exclaimed bis affectionate
wife, after listening to the account of the perils to
which her husband liad bobn exposed, ‘ for Heayoh's
sake .take off . that filthy Jacket and throw It out of
the Window. You can put my warm cloak over
your.sho'uldbrs'lill we reach the next stage, arid then
ybu will be ablu to purchase some habit better suited
to your station and calling.” /
“That is more easily said than done, my love, ho
replied; '1 have lost ail the, money 1 possessed; hot
a , single guinea' is loft mo to pay our expenses to
night. My, w.atch, too, that 1 ‘so dearly’ hrlzcd I —j

“Never mind your watch,or anything else just
now—only Jiull off that mass of filth, I implore you J

'VTokp it off, dear papa, 1 ’ observed the daughter,
“ but don’t throw it away; it may load lb the detec

Theobnoxious garment Was removed; the young
lady was about lb placo.il under .the.seal,,
heard a singling noise that allrabied her,attention,
and on examination found secreted in various parts
of tho coat, hot only (ho watch, po.cket,- book, purse
and silver, of which her father, had beorff deprived,
but a yellow canvasb bag, such as. is used by farmers,
containing about thirty guineas. .
The surprise and joy .of nil parlies may bo ignigln
ed; they reached the Inh Where they. proposed stop
ping for tho night, and as the portmanteaus had
escaped tho dangers of the road, the bishop, was spee
dily able to attire himself canonically. Before the
party retired for rest intelligence arrived that-the
highwayman hud been taken after a desperate resis
tance —the- notice of the police being attracted by the
singular appearance of a man of.his station sporting

A Curious Story ofDdntli, Durlal nud Rcsur<
rcctloii*
. A few days, before the full of Ronen, (a city bo.
sieved by llio Royalists army, and defended by the
Protestants during tbc civil war produced by tho ro*
formation in France,) a Prntesliint gentleman named
brancis Suvillo, was woundcd-inlho fnco by an ar
queouso and having fullen'qppaionily dead, was car
ried away and buried, with 15 or 1(| others. At
night his cetvanl broughl'u Ijorso for liis master, at
the fool of the rampart with the Count of Monlg*
mery. Ho was informed that Sevilla was dead and
buried. T. ho groom, an old niid faithful servant of
tho house, insisted upon having tire body to carry
back to tho relations of the dead'‘officer {and Wont
gontery accordingly sent off his'suit, to show him
where tho corpse had been interred. Tho groom
immediately caused them to bq taken .'out of theft
hasty graves, but finding them so disfigured with
Wounds, blood and clay, that It was impossible to £1
cognize tho features of-any one, ho replaced thff
bodies, and cast the earth lightly over thorn again.
While returning to his quarters, n feeling of romorqc
«t llio careless manner in which ho and his corapi?
n ous hod rcinlcrrcd tho dead, look possession of
him, opd ho; returned to the spot to cover Hid remairfS
more completely, lest Hie dogs should disturb thoir
hist resting place; in the night. Tho sun hud by this
time set, but in re-covering ono oflhc bodies, lie saw,
by the light of tho moon, a diamond ring of peculiar
form on. the. hand, ami .instantly by that token re
cognized the corpse of bis muster. Doing curried to

theni to try.-thoir skill.uppri.his muster.,
i ho niinibcf of wounded, however, did notallow
them to occupy their time wilh a hopeless case, and
they refused to give him any attention.- Tho groom
subsequently procured a physician, nnd one ofSevtU’s

Tho school room is tho place whore tho disposition
is in a groat degree moulded. All possible care
should therefore bo taken, riot to render it sullen and
moroso. While every pupl! should ho taught to feel
that her (anchor's word is her law While m schooh
yet that low should always bo so administered, us to
make the school room a place of agreeable resort.—
While discipline Is strict, it should always bo mild.
Severity and harshness on the part of teachers have
niton boon the cause of ruining what would otherwise
have boon gentle and amiable dispositions. There
Is nothing, according to my opinion, which speaks
inoro highly for a school, than to see every pupil
ready to preol llor loaolior. with a pleasant, ll,outfit
rospcolful smile, whenever she moots them. If the
pupils of a school manifest a high degree of rospeot
and even attachment for their instructors, so fur from
being a proof of any want of strictness, It is on tho
other hand, one of tho strongest proofs of firm and
steady discipline. For, experience has long since
shown, that whore there Is least control exercised,
there is loastrospoot full toward both the toaohor and
parent.
Tho Pure in Heart*

around it. It Is over thus with tho pure. You may
not hoar tho "still emu)) voice’ l or hood the silent us.

power which'you will fool. Tho wilderness is made
to smile, flowers of now life and beauty, spring up
