THE PHOT'S REVENGE. "
A X II II I LLI G NAKUATIVE.
' BY SVLVASt'S COUn, JR.
It was towards niht on the 2lstof Sep!,
1833, a small English war-bii, which had
been tilled out lor the suppression of suug
tling, was lazily creeping; along over the
heavy monotonous swells just oil the coast
of Gala way, aid on her deck was being en
acted a scene of somewhat more than com
mon interest. The day before she had
captured a small boat laden with contraband
articles, together with an old man vand a
boy, who bad charge of them ; Ihe captain
of the brii:, whose name, was Dracul had
ordered that the smuggler should be put in
irons. To this indignity the old man made
a stout resistance and in the heat of the
moment he had to far forgotten himself as
to strike the captain a blow which laid nun
upon the deck. Such an insult lo an Eng
lish officer was past endurance, and, in pun
ishment of his offence, the smuggler had
been condemned to die. - , - - i !
A single whip was rose at the starboard
yard srnif and all hand were called to wit
ness the execution. "The rope was noosed
and slipped over the culprit' head, and the
running end was rove through a small hatch
block on the deck. Until this moment not
a word had escaped the lips ol the, boy.
He trembled as he beheld the awlu) prep
arations, and as the fatal noose was passed
and drawn light, the color forsook bis
cheeks, and he sprang forward and dropped
upon his knees before the incensed captain.
"Mercy, sir; mercy." ' ' "
-"For whoml" asked the officer, 'while a
contemptuous sneer rested upon hi lip.
"For that old mao wbom you are about
to kill." ...j.- ... , .. ,
"He dies, hoy."
, "But he is mv lather, sir.? -n , .tt,
"No' matter if he were my own father,
that man who strike an English nllicer
while in the pvformance of bis duty, must
die."
"But he was manacled, he was insulted
sir," ursed Ihe boy.'
"InviltedV repeated the Captain ; "who
insulted him V
"Vo' did, sir," replied the rJoV, while
In lace was flushed with imnjnatnin,
"(Jet up, sir," and be careful you don't
get the same treatment, aid the Captain in
a avag tone. -i' . 1 1 ' f
i The old man heard this appeal of hi sod,
and a the last word dropped from the lips
ot his captor, be raised hi head, and while
look nf utmost defiance, passed oyer bid
features, tie exclaimed k . .
"Ask no favors, Robert. ' OM Ka'rl Kin-
tock can die as welj now a l any time
:et tnem ao tne worst." . . . .
Then' lurnirtg to Captain P'racult,-
ctiangea ins tone lo one ol deep sutiplica

"Do what you please with me, ir, but
do not harm toy boy, for he .has done no
wrong. l am ready lor yotirsentencej and
ihe sooner vou finish it the better.
"tay . ' bold of the whijy," ; ihruiifd' fbe
Captain-' Lay bold every man of you and
stand by to run ihe villain up.' t " '
' Tn obedience to this order the men rang
ed themselves along Ihe neck and each one
laid hold of the rone,, Robert Kintoflk

"What!" exclaimed llie boy, while t tear
started from hi trembling lip, 'i there no
one even who call pity 1", , . , ; t
, "Up with him,' shouted the, captain. .
Robert buiii'd his face in h.U, hands, and
the next moment his lather Vas swinging
at the yard arm. ' He heard the passing
rope and the cracking block,' and he knew
that he was fatherless! ' 1
"Halfnn hour afterwards the toy Mai rlt
by the side of a" fthastly corps-,-"a simple
prayer escaped hii lips? :'Then snolbvr
low, mourning sound came up from his bo
som ; but none ol'j those who ato i afound
knev its iinj ort. , It. waa u -pleilge of dwep
revenge. ..... i - .:!. .
Just ai the old man's body sliu from the
sanpway into the. watr, a .vi.vjj, .flabr0f
lihtiiiiir streamed through llie heavens,
and in another minute the dread artillery
of nature sent forth a roarso Ib'nu; and hind
that the men actually placed their hands to
their ears to shut out ils d'ehfenin powYr'.
Robert Kintock started at the sound, or.d
what had caused dread in fiber's bosom
sent a thrill of satisfaction la his own. ' ' s
Oh, rectnge, revenge '.' diw. muttered lo
himself as he cast his eyes over Ibe'foain
crested waves which had already, risen be
neath the power of the sudden storm. ,t
The darkness had come as quickly as did
the storm, and that could be distinuiilied
from the deck of the brijr, sale' the break
inz sea, wa4 the" fearliil, crajsrV'sHof
flash alter flash of lightning illuminated the'
heavens.
' "Light, ho," shouted a man forward, and
thp next moment all eyes were turned to- a
bright lii'ht which had suddenly flashed up
among the rocks. , . . -
4 The wind had now reached its heijrht,
and willi ils giant power il set tlie il!-ljted
brig dire ctly upon the surf bound shore of
rock and reefs, and every face sive one
was blanched wilh fear.
In vain did they try to lay the brig to
the wind, hut not a sail 'would hold for an
instant, until at lenlh Ihe 'then' managed to
ffet up a fore and mam storm sail, and then
the brig stood for a "short lime bravely up
against the heavinj sea. Rot it was evi
dent that. should she succeed ill keeping to
Ihe wind, she. must eventua'ly he.driven to
the.shore, for the p-iwec ol. the .in-setlinsr
wave was greater than thai of the wind.
"R y, d. vou know what jisjbt jhat.is?"
asked the Captain, as be stood holding to
the main rigging to keep bis feet.
"Yes," sir," replied Robert; it is Duliy
more's craj." ' '' '' " "
"What is it thrre for?"
"It marks Ihe entrance to a little harbor,
which lie? in the back of if. 1 '
'"Andean it be entered bv a vessel of
this siel" nked the Captain, while a
gleam of hope shot across his face.
"O, yes sir, a large ship can enter there."
"And do you know the passage 1"
"Yes, sir; 1 have spent my whole life
on this roast, and I know every turn in it."
"Can you take the brig in there in this
storm ?" .
"Yes, sir.,' answered the bov, while a
strange light shot from his eyes."
"And will you do it ?" eagerly asked the
"On two conditions."
"Name thpm quick I v." '
- "The first is that vou let me go in peace
and the next, that you trouble none ol the
smusriili'rs, should they happen to be there."
I will promise," said the Captain.
"Ami now set about your work. ,-Rut mark
me, if you deceive me by St. George I will
shoot yon on the moment."
. Ihe bns was soon put belore the.yinu
and Robert Kintock stationed himself once
the slarboard fore-yard-arm, from whence
his orders were passed along to the helms
man. The bounding vessel soon catjie wilh
in sight oi the rugged crags, and the heart
of every man. leaped wilh tearful thrills as
they were swept past a frowning rock
which almost glazed them as they pas.ii-,1.
On flew the liiig, and thicker and. more

"Port!" shouted lh;-boy " "

"Steady it is."
"Slarboard, quick!"
"Ay, ay, starboard it is." " ' 1
"Steady so.", c ' -i '.'
"Steady il i." ; - ,u ! . - ; .
At this moment the vessel swept on past
an over-banging clifl, and just as a vivid
flash of lightning shot through the heavens
and revealed all the horrors around a loud
shout was heard from the young pilot, and
in a moment all eyes were turned towards
him. ' lie stood upon the extreme pilge of
the yard and held himself by the left. In
a moment he crouched down like a tiger
a'terhis prey, and then with one leap he
reached the projecting rock.
' i( Revenue !' tevense! was all that the
doomed men heard,' and they were swept
awav into the boiling surge beyond. '
"Brmhert! a m." screamed the men
forward.' ... : v
"Starboard quick!" .i ;. n ."
Rut 'twas too late Ere the helm was
half up, a low trerrrendeon'gra!ingDf the
brig's keel was distinctly tell, and llie next
iiwlunt came a crash whirl! sounded Ingti

lowed in a few moments by large masses gf

of this country, whilst engaged in tearliing
school the past summer, a few uiiics fium her
home, was singled out totvittda the close of

ducement, by fbe dug of one of her employ

was soon unaccountably increased to such a
decree that he could scarce')' be beaten from
her side, or prevented fioin .entering Ihe
nchool house, lo t hich he daily repaired. At
the termination of her school, which she left,
in failing bealih, when about lo slart lor her
parental resilience, the dog ave signs of bis
determination to follow her, which peiceived,
she turned to tht! owner, and soon effected
a purchase of llie nriimul which, now
joyously attended her home. Ib rlitst words,
on entering the house, were "Mother, I have
come, to die, and have brought a friend to
watch over my jirave." After making this

which we will uttentpt to icpcat cvsn at the
risk of losing .iho graphic simplicity of liH

Some eighteen or twenty years since, a
well-known, resident of Tipton ct.ui.ty was
put on bis trial, charged w ith the murder of
hi, wife. As us-tul in Mich cases, popular
feeling wa largely against him, nit I all Ihe
eloqucnno and inrjeiiuity of his counsel were
required to make any impression in his favor
upon a jury, whie.lt; however impartial it
might de.iiro to be in tho consciousness of
sworn dntv, could not but see, the waves of
mpular prejudice surging in upon it.
The casr wasnbly argued. The counsel for
the defence made most vigotous and impas
sioned appeals. The cas. was submitted to
ilia jury, and they retired to make up their
verdict. Time, passed, and us iho setlingsuu
wanted all of the apptoaching night, tin; largo
throng in attenileiice, the judge, counsel, ccc.
retiied, all anious, Ihe accused not least so. lo
arn the verdict of the jury, and some. won.
leriiig that I be jury hesitated for one moment
to bring in a verdict of guilty. In tho mean
linio llie jury had come lo a point beyond
which they could progiess no fuilhcr. The
ippcalsof the counsel for the defence hud not
been tvill.ont their influence, and tho jury
tood unchangeably six for conviction and six
for acquittal. Sonietjiing bad to be done. In
those days twelve good fellows could not lu
got together for a night, and sleep. Cards up.
peared mysteriously fiom thedeplh of sutuli y
large pockets, and exercises in seven up ural
poker were zealously commenced.
About midnight one of their number, Col.
P., proposed that they should play a garr.f! of
seven up, llie result lo deckle mo verdict.
The proposition was Lcaitly and unanimously
reed lo, in all seriousness, and tho whole
crowd collected around Lol. v and Ins oppo

which was slaked a human life. Col. P.
