THE ftUAESB PASSENGES.
We were five passengers in all, two Indies
in the back seat, a middle aj;ed gentleman,
and a Quaker oo the middle, aud myself
en the front.
Tho two laiics might have been mother
and duushter. aunt and niece, governess
and chaigo, or might have sustained any
other relationship which made il proper for
two ladies to tiavel together unattended.
Tho middle aged man was sprightly and
talkative, fie soon struck up an acmiain-
mee with the ladies, towards whom, in his
zeal to do ho rathpr over did tho agreeable
bowing and mrliug and chatting over
his t-houlder iu a way painfully suggestive,
at this time oflil'e, ol a 'crick' iu the neck.
He w&s eviJeutlj a gay Lothario.
The Quaker wore the unilorm of his sect,
and confined his speech, as many a parlia
mentarian would save his credit by doing,
to fcimply 'yeas' and "'nays.'
Towards evening I was aroused from
one of these sleepy revcric3 into which
a young man without being either a poet
or a lover, will sometimes fall, by the ab
rupt query from the talkative gentleman :
'Arc you armed V
'I am not,' I answered, astouibhed, no
doubt visibly, at the question.
'I am sorry to hear it he replied, for
before reaching our stopping place it will
be several hours in the night, aud we must
pass ovor a portion of the road on which
more than one robbery is reportsd to have
been committed.'
The ladies turned pale, but the stranger
did his best to reassure them.
'Not that I thiuk there is the slightest
danger at present he resumed ; 'only when
oue is responsible for the safety of ladies,
you know, such a thing as pistol in reach
would materfally add to one's confidence.'
'Your principals, my friend addressing
the Quaker, 'I presume, are as much op
posed to carrying as to using carnal weap
ons ?'
'Yes was the response.
'Have the villains inurderea any of their
victims?' the elderly lady nervously in
quired. 'Or have they conteteJ themselves with
plundering them ?' added the younger in a
timorous voice.
'Decidedly the latter, the amiable gen
tleman hastened to give assurauce ; 'and as
none of us are prepared to offer resistance
in case of attack, nothing worse than rob
bery can befall us.'
Then after blaming his thoughtlessness iu
having uanecessarily introduced a disagree
able subject the gentleman quite excelled
himself in efforts to raine the spirits of the
company, and euoceeded bo well by the
time night set iu that all had quite forgot
ten, or only remembered their fears to
to laugh at them.
Our genial companion fairly talked him
self hoarse. Peiceiving which, he took
from his pocket a package of newly inven
ted 'cough candy and after passing it first
to the ladies, he helped himself to the bal
ance, and tossed the paper out of the win
dow. He was in the midst of liglt encomiums
on the new nostrum, more than half the ef
tieiaoy of which he insisted, depended on
its being taken by suction, when a shrill
whistle was heard, and almost immediately !
the co?eb. stopped, while t"o faces, hidious-
ly blackenod, presented themselves at each
window.
'3i;rry to trouble you oald tho the man
on tho right, acknowledging wirti a bosr to
tv.'o lady like screams from tha back mat ;
but businec3 is business, cud ours will soon
be over, if things go smoothly.'
'Of course, gentlemen, you will sparo as
far a3 consistent with your disagreeable
duly, the feci iocs of thoeo ladies appealed
the polite passenger, in the balandest man
ner. 'Oh ! certainly thy chall ba first atten
ded to; nid shall not be requirad to .lonve
their places, uuless ther conduct renders
it neeerfcary.'
And C3-7 ladies continued the robber,
tho harrell cf his pistol gloaming in the
lijht of tho coach lamp, 'bo tx good as to
pa.-c out yot'r purees, v.atciicj, and such
other triuke's rs may bo accessible with
out too much trouble.'
The ladies came cloven handsomely, and
were not further tr.ylc-jtcd.
One by one the rest of ns were com
pelled to get out, tho mi:ld!c-ngcd gantle
man's turn coming frat; he mbmiltcd with a
wiotiing grace, and was robbed like a very
Chesterfield,
My own affair, lil.e the sum I lost wa3
scarce worth mentioning. The Quaker's
ttitn came nest, lie quietly handed over
his pocket book and watch, and when as-
J:ed if he had any other valuables, said,
'Nay.'
A Quaker's word is good, even among
thieves ; so after a 'good night the robber
put his pistol into his pocket, and Tvitli hia
two companions, one of whom had held the
reins of tho leaders, was about to take his
departure.
'.Stop! exelamed the Quaker, in a tone
more of command thi request.
'Stop I what for !' returned the tho other
in evident surprise.
'For at least t-,vo good rea.wns was the
teply, euiplu'.si'.ed with a couplo of dorriu-
gtrs cocked and presented.
'Help shouted the robber.
'Stop!' the Quaker again exclaimed;
and if oue cf thy sinful companions advan
ces a step to thy relief the spirit will sure
ly move me to blow thy braius out.'
The robber at tha opposite window, and
the one nt the leaders' heads thought it a
a decidedly rjood time to leave.
'Now get iu, friend said tho Quaker,
still covering his man, 'and take the middle
seat, but first deliver up tbyejuatol.'
The other hesitated.
'Thee hud letter not delay; I feel the
spirit begin t) move my ri,jht fore-finger.'
The robber did as he wan directed, aud
the Quaker took his seat by his side giving
the uewcomer the middle of the eeat. The
dri.-ei, who v.as frightened hr.lf oot of
bin seat, now set forward at a rpii rate.
f he lively gentleman tsoon recovered his
vivacity. He was especially facetious on
the Quaker's prowess.
'You're a rum Quaker. Why you don't
quako worth a cent.'
'I am not a 'Shaking Quaker if that is
what thee means.'
'Cf the Hickory or rather tho 'Old
Hickory' stripe I should say retorted the
lively man; but tho Quaker relapsing into
his usual uioccsyllubles, the conversation
flagged.
Time sped, and sooner than we expect
ed the ooach stopped where we were to
have supper and change horse3. We had
deferred a re-distribution of our effects till
we should reach this place, as the dim light
of the coach lamp v-ould have rendered
the process somewhat difficult before. ,
It was now ucccssary, however, that it
should be attended to at once, as our jo
vial friend had previously aunouueed his
intention of leaveing at that point. He
proposed a postponement till after supper
which he offered to go aud order.
'Nay urged ihe Quaker, with an ap
proach to abruptness,and laying his hand on
tho other's arm, 'business be fore pleasure
and for business there is no time like the
present.' '
'Will tho bo good enough to fceareh the
prisoner ? he said to aie, still keeping Lis
hand, in a fiiendly way, on the passeuget'e
arm.
I did bo, but not one of the stolen arti
cles could be found.
'He must have got rid of them in the
coach the gay gentleman suggested, and
immediately offered to go and search.
'Stop !' thundered the Quaker, his grasp
tightening.
The man turned pale and struggled to
reliase bis arm. In an instant one of the
derringers was leveled at his heart.
'Stir a hand or foot and you are a dead
man 1'
The Quaker mu3t have bean awfully ex
cited 80 completely to forgot both the lan
gnn9 and the principles of his pcrsuation.
Placing the other pistol in ny hand
vith directions to fire on tho first of the
two men thr.t made a suspicious movement,
ho went to vrork on Lothario, form whose
pockets, ia less time than 1 take to tell it,
he produced every item of tho property, to
the uttcrama3emeut of tha ladles, who
begun in no measured terras, to remon
strate againat tho shamcfal treatment the
gentlemen w?s receiving.
The Quaker, I need ccarccly add, vrn
no Qnaker at all, bnt a shrewd dcteciive,
who hud been ,?et an tho track of a band of
disperadoes, of whetn our middle friend
who didn't look near so middle aged when
tho wig wus oil' was tho cheif. The rob
bery was adroitly planned. Tho leader
had taken passage in tho stage, and af
ter learning, as ha supposed, our defenceless
condition, had giveu the sigual to his com
panions by throwing out the scrap of paper
already mentioned. After the Uiexpect3d
capture of the first robcr, il was attempted
to save the booty by secretly passing it to
the accompic?, still beleived to bo unsus
pected, who counted on being able to make
off with it at the next stopping place.
The result was, thatboth for a season,
'did tho state good service.'
An Indian Story.
A correspondent of the Detroit free Press
writes as follows :
About three miles from fho village of
Wubasttn. State of Michigan, is a sma1! lake
now commcnly known as Wabassa's Lake.
It is a haadsomo ahof t of -7atei1, with a fine
shore free from swamps or brush, a herding
a pleasant resort to tho lovers cf piscatorial
sports. There is a romantie yet truthful
history connected vith it which sounds
more like an Indian tradition of centurries
ago, fhan nn atitv.nl oeuureiica of fifty years
since. While oa an excursion a few days
ago, I gathered the following story, and its
truthfulness has since been vouched for by
other cottiers. A bttlo tribe uf Imdians
was thon encamped on the shore of the lake
near its cutlet, a ttream of the same name,
and had just been paid by the government
quite a large pmount cf gold and silver
which they took to their camp, as was their
custom, undividedly, held in their charge
by Chief "Webcast:." On arriving at theu
camp and preadiug their gutly covered
b'aukcta out admiringly, together with their
trinkets purchased at the station, sorno of
tho tribe warmed more or less with the
"fire water," demanded their portion of the
gold. Disputes arose as to tho relative share
of each. Somq claimed more than a share,
claimed to have contributed more to the
protection or general good, glery or diguity
of tho tribe. High words were about to
be followed by bloodshed, when the chief
demanded silence, aud proposed them to
wait till the morrow should eool their excit
ed brains, aud could listen to reason and
words of couusel from tho older men. A
truce was finally effected, and quite once
more reigned throughout the camp, when
tho Chief, regarding the gold as a cause of
evil iusteai ot a blessing, btole quietly out
carried the gold with him, and, entered a
cauce, paddled quickly and noislesHly to the
centre of the lake, where ho consigned pot
and gold to the deep waters of the lake.
In the morning he did not deny what he
had done, but was in the midst of a speech,
telling them of their folly in fceiug like
palefaces, (.laves to gald, when, with a loud
whoop, the entire band set upon him, mur
dered him, aud mutihted his body in a
horrible manner. His grave is still shown
and many have-een his son return within
the last twenty years, to mourn over it.
(Ireedy hands bttve often sought for lost
gold, but to no purposo, for the waters are
many hundreds of feet in depth, strange as
it may seem, for so small a lake a mere
pond. Due the story of the 'Tot of Gold

A Convict of Twenty-three. Years liada Free.
Over twenty years ago, Goorge Ilunne
well, of Cambridge, a young man of good
talents, of brilliant prospects, and surround
ed by theinfluences of a virtuous home, fell
int: the company of evil associates, became
iutemperafe and fearfully deprived.
In October, 1847, he deliberately sot
fire to his own homo in the night 'time.
His brother, while endeavoring to secure
soma valuable pspcas from the house, per
ished in the flames. .'
At that time the penalty forsuch aorimo
was ilea ih. Ilunttewell was tried and son
fanced to be hung, but tho sentanco was
commuted to imprisonment for life. For
all these loug years he has dwelt in a living
tomb. Only once had he been permitted
to look upon the outside world. Then for
a short time he was permitted to gaze upon
tho world from the cupola of the State pris
on. By the aid of a telescope, he took a
look upon the surroundings of his once
dear homo. His only remark was, ''All
, i ti
is cnangeu.
W ho can tell the life "he has led, tbe
dread he has suffered, or the hope ho has
indulged ' Above all, who can measuro
the emotionn of that poor unfortunate man
when he heard it announced by Warden
Ilayu-eg, last Thursday, that through tha
clemency of Governor Clalliu, he was a freo
man. He w."s called upon to Btand up in
the chapel. An old, gray-haired man, in
his sixtieth year, deliberately arose, beam
ing with the comininglod expressions of
surprise and joy. Spectators and prisoners
rejoiced in his liberation, joining in most
hearty cheers. He has como forth into tho
wide wicked world. The sympathies and
prayers of tho good follow him. May they,
with the terrible experience tehas suffered,
ba the means, by the grace of God, of lead
ing him in the way of life
everlasting.
Boton iVeiM.
"My Name's IIaynes." Many years
ago a Virginia- politician, riding along a
public highway, overtook a red haired, common-looking
individual . traveling in tbo
same direction. They at once entered con
versation, the subject being politics, tho
discussion of which wai then raging at
fever heat ail over tho country. Jefferson
was President, and our Virginia friend,
though J effersou was a native of his own
State, pitched into tho author of the De
claration ri;ht aiid lei't. To call him a
sheep-stealer, a midnight-robber, a heaven
defjing reprobate, wove mild terms com
pared with those poured upon tho devoted
head of the unfortunate Jefferson.
By aud by the tiavelers came to a poiut
where tho road forked, and ttieir routes lay
in different 'directions. The politician
spoke:
"Stranger, we've traveled a good pieeo
together, and understand each other prcv
well about that old heather! Tom Jeffero ,
May I ask, before wo part, what your namu
may be '("
His companion politely raised his hat
