A RIDE WITH A MADMAN.
AN OLD DRIVER'S STORY
Not many years ago, - I. was seated
in a tavern in the interior of the State
of New York, and conversing with
old man of about sixty, who as I con
jectured;had seen something of this
world, as he had been a teamster
most all his life, or ever since he was
big enough to.hold a line and manage
a horse ;:and as the time phssed slow,
ly, and it was only about eight o'clock
in the evening, I addressed him thus :
"Come Louton, can you not relate
something that will help pass the
time affray ?"
"Well, I don't know," he draWled
out as he took his pipe out et his
mouth, and Settled himself back in
his chair, "I was frightened onee,
tell you, sir land.l. don't believe I
shall ever fdiget it."
"How long' ago was it ?" I asked
as the means of leading the old man
into the story.
"Well, I guess it was about forty
years ago. I've driven lots of strange
men in my time. l've had charge of
a team since I was knee high to a
'grasshopper ; but I never met with so
ugly a customer as I did the time I
am speaking of. He came one night
to the tavern I was driving for and
wanted to go to M. -, a place
about fifteen , miles from there. It
was a cold night, the snow lay hard
and thick on the road, and the wind
was rushing down the north. I had
put the horse up, and was just eating
my supper when the boss called ine,•
and said that I would have to take
• that man to M
"You'd better believe I Wished the
man in Texas, and told the boss it
was no kind of weather to take the
cattle out for such a long spell o'rid
ing, and over such roads too ! The
man growled at me for a lazy brute,
and mumaled something about taking
it out of me. But all of a sudden he
changed his mind, and concluded to
stay 'all night, so lie called for brandy
and filling the tumbler quite full of
the raw liquor, drank it off as a tem
perance man would a glass of water,
and then loo'kinp- round cautiously
for somebody who wasn't behind, /
went slowly Up to bed.
"I went back to the kitchen' very
well pleased to think I'd bluffed the
fellow off, and, finishing my supper, I
went to bed.
"I very soon got to sleep, and
dreamed that the, man who wanted
to go to - -" Was phokii4ni to
death, when lAV b,'S oe by the boss
calling me.
"Get up, Tom, and put the brown
mare to the covered wagon : and look
sharp for it's pretty late.
"Where's she. going to, sir
asked.
"rib 31 with that man who's
just got, up, and says he must got
there before morning, as his wife is
dying."
never foUnd. it harder to turn
but in my life, and I grumbled a good
'deal, and cursed some, at the idea of
leaving a worm bed to drive miles,
and the. weather cold enough to
freeze your. nose Off. I didn't like the
getting up, I didn't like the cold, and
I didn't like the man I had to drive.
I thought it ; mighty curious that he
should remember in the middle of the
night ; when everybody wee abed and
asleep, that his wife was dying. It
was a rum go anyway I thought,
didn't hurry Myself much, for I was
thinking so hard.
_
"As I went out of the Emelt door to
the stable, hea'rd some 0116 Walking
up and down the front stoop, and.
every now and then stamping his foot
as if he wanted to be off right away.
Thinks I, old fellow, you'll have to
wait for me this. time. It took me
Some time to harness up.
"I guess you don't want to come,
my man, said the stranger. It isn't
pleasant, is 'it, to be driven out of a
comfortable bed to travel a lonely
road, to be frozen to death, or worse,
in the middle of the night'? Ell,?"
"That's so," said I; "but if you can
stand it, I can, so jump in"
"Here, landlord,"" said the stran-,
ger, , "give us a quart bottle 'of braiady,
"to keep the cold out, and take for it
and the wagon out of this X."
"lie handed the boss a note, who
brought the liquor and the Change to
the man.. The boss said good night
and shut tilt door, and the man got
into the wagon, sat, down alongside
of me, and said :
"Now, boy ; drive like -, for I
wouldn't have him catch me, for
thousand dollars."
"He turned' his head round as
though he was looking for somebody,
and said :
"Hurry up, boy, hurry up." '
"1 started off at a pretty good rate,
but it was aWful bad going, and for
some distance it was up hill, and so
steep that I couldn't, go much over a
.walk. I began - to talk to ray passen
ger, and for a few minutes he talked
quite lively like ; but be grew silent
and sullen, and kept continually fid
geting in his Beat and looking round
to the right and left and behind him.
In about half an hour he took the
cork from the bottle and took.a, long
drink of the brandy.
“From that moment he seemed to
grow more fidgety than ever. The
excitement increased, and the great
strong man shivered all over, but
whether from cold or fear, I did not
know then, but now I think it was
fear. He kept muttering to himself,
and looking out the side of his-eyeat
the in:a manner that I dilln'tnike at
all, but I pretended not to notice it.

"If yeti raise your hand to me, I'll

"He sat down mechanically, took

"That's right, you look out ; look

A Story about Seals.
A while ago, thirty or forty years
may be, there was a man of Sktifo
who wished to get by night from that
island across the firth to Sando, so he
got into his boat as the weather was
good and rowed himself over. When
he was almost across he came to a bit
of a sandy holm that - was there not
far from the land, and he saw- in the
moonlight, for it was at the- full, a lot
of people on the holm. Well ! it
struck him as strange because no one
lived on the holm and no one lives
there now, but he thought he would
just see what they were doing. lie

never failed him, and besides he had
a head on his shoulders. As -he pu11...........

he went be picked up one, and held it
in his hand scarcely knowing why.—
As soon as he got near to the folk he
saw they were all women and some
of them good:looking too; but just as
he was going to speak to them they
all ran off down to the beach. Tie
was not slow in following them, but
they were faster than he was, maybe
he was tired 'by the long row. But
as he looked after them he could
scarce believe his eyes when ho saw
them each throw a sealskin over
their shoulders, and lo ! in :a thrice
they were turned into seals anddash
ed and splashed into the water—all
but one, the best-looking of all, who
stood there weeping on the shore be
cause she could not get her sealskin.—
When lie reached Lier she begged and
prayed so prettily and in such good
Faroese fur her seal Skin that he had
half a mind to :giv - o it her, but the
more he look her the more he
liked her, so - . lof it was he tied
the sealskin tig about his body, and
put the lassie' into his boat and rowed
back home with her. Yes ! all the
way back, for he wanted to show his
bride to his mother. Well, she lived
there with them for a little while for
all the world like another - woman,
and when they wanted to have her
baptized she said she had been bap
tized by their own parson in the sea.
So they had her confirmed instead,
and the end of it was to make a long
story short the man married her, and
she lived very happily with
They bad children, three or four, -and
folk began to forget altogether the
strange way in which she had conic

one day, maybe just about this -time.
of the year, the man was in his barley
field which had ripened nicely, that
year for a wonder, and lie was reap
ing it, and his wife was in the house
close down at the water's edge in
Shale, as all our - houses are, and the
bairns were playing about, running
-in and but of the barn. At last one
of them lifted - up the lid, of an old
chest that was there and dived info
it with its little hand, and pulled out
an,old moth-eaten bit of fur. Off it
ran to its mammy to show .her what.
it bad got—" Sec mother what I have
found in the barn." But it was the
wife's sealskin, and as soon as she
saw it all her love of the sea-came
back on her, and she ran down with
it to the beach, but before she went
she gave each bairn a,kiss. Just then
the husband was coming home to din.:

Eitraord.inary Cure.
A Gipsy 'Wehi:an Coaxes Five Liz
argils from a Nan's Stomach.
A,conrespond.ent of the Halifax (N.
S.) Sun ; writing from Bathurst, details
an extriaordinay circumstance. A
fat met• vicar the:toWn, (wh.ieh is in
C-douceste'reounty,) named Jas.
was for three years and a hall
[confined to his bed through extreme
emaciation'. Medical assistance was
in vain, and ho lingered and lingered,
until a gips; woman offered to cure
him for WU. The offer was accept
ed, and a younger brother of the in•
valid, named Charles, thus describes
her mode of treatment
"We went with heir to camp ;Im
mediately after entering we had some
bread - and ham, Jim and I..both eat
leg heartily. After dinner the gip
sy said she wished to speak with me
alone. I went into the woods, back
from the camp, when she at once ask
ed me it I. was willing that Jim should
be handcuffed and his feet bound, and
to submit altogether to her. I said I
was not. "Then,"
said she,"lt's no
use wasting words about the matter;
if you don't do so, he'll never be cur
ed!' I asked her to explain herself;
She.. said she would not. lat last
consented,thinking to Myself there
can be nothing wrong while I am
here. At tea we bad some salt pork
fried, and good bread. Next, morn
ing, on waking after a very watch
ful night, for I never closed my eyes,
I found Jim tied up. He seemed
rather put out, but thegipsy told him
at once that she had dune so because
he Was to suffer a good deal
. of pain
before being cured. I assented to
this. He said he was willing to go
through with it, since he had begun.
We had breakfast, salt pork and
bread ; I fed Jim, and we laughed at
the farce as we considered it. I bad
no faith at all in her. After break
fast I talked With the gipsy, and ask
ed her what she meant ; told .her I
wasmo'child., and must ! .either know
her plans or I would unloose Jim ? and
go home again. She then told me
that she knew that Jim bad some liv•
Mg reptile in him, and that the only
way to cure him was to feed him
with salt food for a day or two, and
then stop him from drinking alto
gether,when the animal would come
Out to seek water. She had cured
others, but I must expect to see bun
suf f er awful pain' and torture when
his water was stopped, but it would
only be for twenty-four or thirty
boors. I went to Jim, told him all,
and asked him if he was willing to
undergo it. Says he, ''Charley, that
womanhaa.it ; . I'll stand Well,
that triky Passedsalt pork and bread,
and - Jim a very limited supply of wa

dinner, when the water was com

the work. He begged and prayed
for water ; he howled till he was
hoarse ; the woman then gave him
a drink of what I considered water,
but which she told the after was salt
pork-fat melted, with water on the
top :; he drank it in u few montlisful,
and iu a feW - minutes more he was
worse than ever. He begged me to
shoot him, to drown him, to do any
thing with hire,-only not leave him
in that state ; toward evening he be
came quite out of his mind ; water
and springs was all he . raved about.
Relay that way "for some time, al

to a high fever. I got alarmed, and
told the gipsy I thou g -ht it bad gone

to stand it. She told me I could do.

two hours longer I would see wheth

likewise told me that if. loosed ho

about an hour after, Silo asked me to
drag him to the spring a few rods a
Way from the camp. We got him be

his lips almost touching the water;
she took up a birch panikin, and com

Such is the story told by Mr.
Charles Mulock, and although I ant
not personally acquainted with the
gentleman, r am informed that he is
one of the last men in the country to
tell a wilful untruth. One fact how
ever, is clear—his brother has com
pletely recovered hi hparth,;knei 'dot
only his health, but his flesh, and WoNV
weighs 160 pounds, his former weight
being only 13 pounes. The lizards
are of a bottle-green. color, about five
inches long, red eyes, and forked
tongues. _ There is a peculiarity
about them different from the ordina ,
ry lizard tribe, there being only two
feet and sloping from thence in a
wedge into a tail. Two of them ha•ge
been preserved 'in spirits and forward
ed to Prof. Agassii, of Harvard
versity. One is preserved in spiiits
and -is kept in Mr. Ferguson's office ;
and the other two were forwarded to
Prof. Jack, who has written to a le
gal gentleman here to 'say that those
are the only specimen's he ever met
with, with the exeePtiOn'of one found
in the Museum of the University of
Munich, that is called the Lacerta ho
me in the language of the schools ; and
the Munich specimen was- supposed
to be the only one extant, althOugh it
is well known to the ancients. "The
description given by Pythagoras,"
says he, "I . have read with your
specimens-before me, and have yet
failed to discover in any respect the
slightest difference in their formation
or color." He thinks that Mr. Ma
lock must have received them in an
embryotie state by some of those mys
terious 'secrets that - are found in ev
ery path of science. A species, he
says, corresponding to it, is unknown
to live on land, and all naturalists
have agreed that it requires the local
action 'of the 'human stomach to pro
ducLi it.
This is, he says; the only explana
tion that Can be Offered that is not
unphilosophical ; his parellel is - clear
and striking. He says, ~ t he pine
forest is cut down, its own species
seldom appears on the same soil, but
birch, poplar, and small shrubbery
succeed ; 'these . again in their turn de:-
stroyed are succeeded by the whortle
bramble, and raspberry," and argues
that a certain developed germ is nec
essary to produce such au efFect ;'thiat
in this way only the lizard .. was pro
duced, contrary to the opinion 'of va
rious ancient Avriura and common
vulgar belief, that they are received
into the system of drinking water or
some other natural cause of that de
scription. He, has likewise sent to
the sae gentleman a series of qUes
lions to propound to thegipsy : where
the other cases occurred; were they
similar in formation to those ? &c., &a.,
he having been put in possesSion of
all the facts When the epeeimeng were

A RICH STORY.
The following we dip from an ex.
chanae. It is old but good, and will
bear reading again
Do any of you know old-Bill Low
er He moved from Springfield to
some point in Minnesota. Bill is
tough, smart as a whip, keen as a
brier, but then, like all us fellers, Bill
loves to see the bottom of his tumbler
at all times. Well, once there was a
Methodist revival in town. Bill was
there—and .a little too full of his kind
of spirit to hold much of the other
kind. But he sat still. At last the
sermon was ended, and the
.minister
came down from his proclamation
stand and said :
- *‘Now I went all who loVe the
Lord, to come foward and be prayed
for."
"No one moved. In a minute ho
repeated
"Brethern and sinners. I want all
who love the Lord, or wish to love
Him, to come,forward on the bench."
No ono moved. Then he looked
mad, and spoke out rather quick.
"If there is a mau in this house who
is a friend to the Lord, I want him to
come forward—if be has no friends,
we will quit."
Just then old Bill arose, hitched up
his trowsers, and in a peculiar, half
sober yoke, sang out :
"Hold On than ! I'm, I'm a
friend of the Lord, 'or any other• man,'
who haint no More friends than He
'pears to 'ave in this section."
