CCL. CRICKLEY'S HORSE.
I have never been able (.nys Paul Crey
ten) lo ocertain the origin of the quarrel
between thn Crickley'siind the Drakes.
They had lived within a mile of each other
in Illinois, Ibr five years, and from the first
ol their acquaintance, there had been a mu
tual feeling of dislike between the two fam
ilies. Then some misunderstanding about
their boundary of their respective farms re
veuled the latent flame and Col. Crickley
having followed a fit buck all one after
noon, and wounded liiirt, came up to him
at dark nnd found old Drake and his sons
cutting him up! Thi.i incident added-luel
to the fire, and from that time there was
nothing the two families did not to annoy
each other. They hot each others ducks
in the river purposely mistaking for wild
ones, and then, by way of retaliation, com
menced killing of each others pigs and
calves.
One evening, Mr. Drake, the older was
returning home, "with his pocket full of
rocks," irom Chicago, whither he had been
lo dispose of a load of grain. Sam 13arstow
was with him on the wagon, and so they
approached the grove that intervened be
tween them and Mr. Crickley' house, when
Iip observed to his companion.
"What a beautiful mark Col. Crickley's
old Hoan is, over yonder !"
"Hang it!" muttered old Dodge, "so it
is." , .
The horse as standing under some trees,
about twelve rods from the road.
Involuntarily around then with a queer
smile the old hunter took up his rifle Irotn
the bottom ol the wagon, and raising it lo
his shoulder, drew a sight at the Colonel's
horse. '
"Beautiful!'' multered Drake, lowering
his riflt with the air of a man resisting pow
erful temptation. "I could drop old Koati
so eay !" .
"Shoot !" suggested Sam Earstow, who
loved fun in any shape,
"No, no, 'twouldn't do," said the old
hunter glancing cautiously around hitn.
"1 won't tell."' said Sam.
"I won't thoot this time, any way, fell
or no tell. The horse is too high. If he
was fifty rods of instead ot twelve, so there'd
be a bare possibility for mistaking him for
a deer, I'd let fly. As it is I'd give the
Colonel five dollars lor a shot."
At (hut moment the Colonel himself
stepped from behind a big oak, not half a
dozen pace distant, and stood before Mr.
Drake!
"Well why don't you shoot ?"
The old man stimmered in lomo confu
sion "That you, Colonel ? J-I was tempt
ed lo I declare! And as I said, I'll give
you a V for one pull."
Say an 'X and it's a bargin !"
Drake felt ot his ritle, and looked at old
Roan. "Wol's Ihe boss worth V he inut-
J tered in Sam's ear. " "
'DOUi iiuy.
v i he Col, pocketed thetnoney, mutter-
' Hang'j if I thought you'd lake me op.
fjtb high glee, the old hunter put a
anapon his rifle, stood up in hii wagon
jjw a close sight on old Roan. Sam
befo.chuckled. 'i he Col. put his hand
Gjj face and chuckled too. ,
out atwent lb" ' Thn hunter tore
Sam W, outh which I will not repeat.
Old liatonished! 'The Col. laughed.
' Drake : stirred ! '

"What's the matter with you, hey I
Fus' time Von ever strved me quite such a
trick, I swan !" and Drake loaded the piece
with great wrath and indignntion.
"People said you'd lost yotir nack o'shoot
in" observed the Colonel in a cutting lone
ol satire. ' ' ' .
"Who said so? It's n lie!" thundered
Crake. "I C8n shoot"
"A horse at ten rods ! ha, ha !" .
Drake was livid. Look here, Colonel, I
can't stand that !" he began.
"Never mind the. horse can," sneezed
the Col. "I'll ri.sk yon."
Orinding. his teeth Drake produced an
other ten dollar bill. "Here, I'll have an
other shot, any way," he growled.
"Crack away," replied the Colonel, pock
eting the note.
"Drake hid crack away wilh a deadly
aim, too but the horse did'nt mind the
bullet in the least. To Ihe rage and unut
terable astonishment of the hunter, old Koan
looked hitn right in the face as if he liked
the fun.
"Drake," cried Sam, "you're drunk ! A
horse at a dozen rods ho, my eye !"
"Just yoti shut your mouth, or I'll shoot
you !" thundered the excited Drake. "The
bullet was hollow, I'll swear. TIip man
lies who says I can't shoot. Lust week I
cut oir a goose's head at filtpen rods, and
kin dew it agin. By the Lord Harry, Col
onel, you laugh, but I'll bet now, thirty
dollars, I can bring old Roan at one shot.
The wager was readily accepted, and
the stakes placed in Sam's hand. Elate
with the idea of winning back his two
tens, and making an X in the bargain.
Drake carefully selected a perfect ball, nnd
even buckskin patch, and beaded his rifle.
It was now nearly dark, but the old hun
ter boasted of being able to shoot a bat on
the wing by starlight, nnd without any
hesitation he drew a clear sight on old
Roan's head.
A minute later, Drake was driving
through the grove, the most enraged, Ihe
most desperate of men. His rifle, innocent
victim of his ire, lay with broken stock on
the bottom of his wagon. Sam was too
much frightened to laugh. Meanwhile the
gratified Colonel was rollin? on the ground
convulsed with mirth, and old Roan was
standing undisturbed under the tree.
When Drake reached home, his two
sons discovering his ill humor and mutila
ted condition of his rifle stock, hastened to
arouse his spirits with a piece of news,
which they were sure would make him
dance for joy. -
"Clear out," growled the angry old
man. "I don't want to hear any news:
get away, or I shall knock one of you
down !"
"Hut father, it's such a trick "
"Blast you and your tricks."
" Played on the Colonel "
"On the Colonel V cried Ihe old man,
beginning to he interested. "Clad, et
you've played the Colonel a trick, let's
hear it."
"Well, daddy, Jed and I this afternoon
went out for deer "
"Hang the deer, come to the trick."
"Couldn't find any deer, hut thought we
must shoot something; so Jed banged a
way nt the Colonel's old Kuan shot him
dead!"
"Shot old Roan 1" thundered Ihe hunter,
"by the Lord Harry, Jed did you shoot the
Colonel's horie V
"I didn't do anything else."
'The devil groaned the hunter.
"And then," pursued Jed, confident the
joke part of the story must please Ihe fath
er, "Jim nnd I propped and hossed him up,
and tied his head back with a cord, and
left him standing under the trees exactly
as if he was alive. Ha, ha! Fancy thp
Colonel going to catch him ! ho ! wasn't
it a joke ?
Old Drake's head fell upon his breast.
He felt of h'13 empty pocket-book, and look
ed ot his broken rifle. Then in a rueful
tone he whispered to the boyi
. "It is a ioke; but if you ever tell of it
or if yon do, Sam Barstow I'll skin you
nlive! By Ihe Lord Harry, boys, I've
been shootin' at that dead horse half an
hour at ten dollars a shot !"
At that moment Sam Barstow fell into
the gutter. Jed dragged him out insensi
ble. Sam had lau-jhed himself almost (o
death. .V. Y. Dutchman.

THE POWER OF THE PENCE. , j
The Rev. J. B. Owen, M. A j of Bilston, in
the course of a valuable leclnre, recenlly de
livered in the Liverpool Conreii-hnll, in con
nexion with the Church of England Institu.
tion (and which wc are happy to see publish
ed in n seperate form) upon "Popular Insu
lance," related nn anecdote strikingly illus
trative of the power w hich lay in the hands
of the workitiginen to promote their own so
cial comfort and independence, if they would
only exert it. A Manchester calic.oprintor
was, on his weddinr day, persuaded bv his
wife lo allow her two half-pints of ale a
day ns her abate. He rrfther winced under
the bargain ; for, though a drinker himself,
he would have preferred n perfectly sober
wife. They both worked hard ; and he,
poor man, was seldom otil of Ihe public
nonse as soon ns the factory closed. The
wife and husband saw littlo cf eacli other
except at breakfast ; '.nil, as she kept Ihings
tidy about her, and made her stinted, -and
even selfish, nllowance for housekeeping
meet ihe demands npon her, he never com.
plained. She had her daily pint, and he,
perhaps, had his two or three quarts, and
neither interferred with thn other, except nt
o ld limes, she succeeded, by one little gen
tle artifice or nnnther, to win him home an
hour or two earlier at niuht, mid now nnd
then to sppnd nn entire eveninff in his own
house. But these were tare occasions.
They had been married a year ; nnd, on
Ihe mnrniim of their wedding anniversary,
the husband looked askance nt her neat and
comely person with some shade of remorse,
n ho observed, "Mary, we'n had no holy
day sin' ve were wed ;' and, only that 1
have'nt n penny i' th' world, we'd take a
janut lo th village lo see thee mo'hcr !
"WouldVt like to go,' John ?" asked she,
softly, botween n smile nnd a lenr, In hear
him spenk kindly as in old times. "If thee'd
like to po, John, I'll stand treat." "Thon
stand treat !" said he, with half a sneer,
"hast cot a forlun, wench 1" "Nay," said
she, "but I'n potton thn pint o' file !"
"Gotten whatl" said he. "The pint o'
ale !" was the reply. John didn't under
stand till the faithful creature reached down
an old stocking, from under a loose brick in
tho chimney, and counted out her daily
pint of ale in the shape of 365 three-pences
(i. e. C4. lis. 3d.,) nnd put it into his hand,
exclaiming, "Thee shall have thy holyday,
John." John was ashamed, astonished,
conscience-smitten, charmed. He would
not touch it. "Hasn't thee had thy share?
then I'll ha' no more," he said. They kept
their weddin;-day wilh old dame ; ami the
wife's little capital w as the nucleus of a sc
ries of investments that ultimately swelled
into n shiip, factory, warehouse, country
seat, a caniage, and, fir Blight Mr. Owen
knew, John was mny ir of his native bo

who occupied a most prominent position in
the Hungaiian nrmy, nnd whose conduct ex
ercised a most powerful influence upon his
country's destiny. He hud particularly dis
tinguished himself at the unfortunate battle
of Schwcchat, fought almost under the walls
Vienna, at w hich time he simply held the
rank of major. The tinsiiccesful leader in
the battle, Gen. Mora, was compelled to re
sign, and Kossuth immediately placed the
chief command of the national forces in the
hands of Gorgey. The writer then goet on

Arthur Oorgey, formerly a subaltern in the
Austrian nrmy, resigned his commission at a
time w hen no patriotic motives could have
ptompled that step. Poor nnd unprotected
as ho was, il is to be ' presumed that the
slowness of a military career jatred upon his
impatienl'nmbition. 'Though no other pro
fession was open to him, he resigned the
scanty pay of a subaltern with Ihe same syn-
ie.nl' indifference , which he displayed, on
other moinentona occasions, and he devoted
himself lo a life of misery and piivalions.
Ill-dressed, fed, nnd lodged, he passed sev-
pral yeais in ihu chemical laboratories at
Vienna and Prague. Even at that lime, his
military bearing, tall and active figure, sa
turnine aspect, the roughness and studied
bintality of his address, his neglected hair
and beard, and the torn and filthy raiment
which uppeared a , matter of choice rather
than of necessity, awakened the curiosity of
strangers, and nmused and perplexed his
friends. He preferred, or pretended lo pre
fer, the coarsest food, and even of this ha
ate sparingly. He would leave his wretched
attio to sleep en a stone floor, or on the hard
and fiozen earih.' 1 it all this was much dis.
cipliue,. but aUo much temper and affecta
tion. He. delighted in appearing mysteriout
unaccountable, impf nelrablo. The obtrusive
contempt wilh -which he affected to regard
octal' custom and the opinion of men be
frayed his desire for notoriety.
When Jellachioh invasion threatened

So great was the iadifferenee or daplicily of
the Austrian ofncei, who then commanded
almost all Ihe native corps, that an extensive
system of espionage wa carried en by Hum-
ber of officers, noblemen, nnd gentlemen,
who, doubling Ihe end, wished togriithe
good opinion and to merit tho thank of
either party. The rules of war of all nations
know but of on? punishment for a tiailor
and a spy. "' In the present instance,' the
culprit was a nobleman, a member of the
emperor' household nnd the scion of an il
lustrious and powerful family. The Count
Zichy was tried by c.ourt-marlial condemed,
and executed. The government nt Ptsih
confiscated Ihe condemed traitor's posses
sions, and the result proved that Major Gor
gey' act was as judicion a it was jnst.
It terrified the double leaders, and drove
them to Ihe imperial standards where they
did no harm whatever to thecaus'e of Hun
gary. Hence Majnr Gorgey had a twofold
claim on M. Kossuth's confidence. Hi en
ergetic operations against Ihe Croatian re
serves, which he captured, and his gallantry
at Schwechat, showed that he, at least, was
not inclined to dally with the enemy. The
"murderer of Count Zichy," ns the Austrian
journals called him, was a doomed man, un
less Ihe Hungarian struggle proved success
ful. No other native officer, had given
equal proofs of zeal, energy, nnd devotion.
M. Kossuth's selection of a commander-in-chief
was, moreover, highly fluttering to
the national Magyar party, and lo those
Hungarians who had served in Ihe Austrian
army. This class of persons received an
important additions to their numbers by the
w holesale desertion of Ihe emperoi's Hunea
rinu noble guard, who at an early period of
the struggle left their splendid barracks nt
Vienna wilh the hope of greater licence nnd
splendid fortunes in the ranks of iho nation
al army. The services of these young men
were highly prized by M. Kossuth nnd the
parliament. Favors and promotions were
lavished upon them ; nor were Ihe motives
ever suspected which induced those military
adventurers to discard the Hapsburg colors
for the Hungarian tricolors.
Mr. Brace, in his work on Hungary, gives
the following sketch of this extraordinary
man, and in many respects takes a simi
lar view of his character to that given
above :
There i much truth in the remark Gor
gey never had the least smypathy with ei
ther the virlues or the weaknesses of his
countrymen. A man of cpld, etern nature,
of few words and tremendous deed, he al
ways laughed over the Magyar fire, and
eloquence, and patriotism. Despite the
falseness he displayed nt last, there is
something striking about his character. If
he was a traitor, he was no common one.
His career commenced in a characteristic
way -by his hangingup, where he was
only a major, one of the first noblemen of
Hungary, for treachery, ns sternly and in
differently as if the man had been a tun
away drummer. The affiir made a great
noise, and brought his name very promi
nently before the public. His after course
was consistent with this : as cool in a dis
charge of grape, his officers say, as he was
at the council board. They have told mo
they have often seen him, in the midst of a
fearful charge around him, silting quietly on
his horse with pistol in hand : but not for
the enemy. The moment he saw a man
flinch, he shot him as unrelentingly a if he
had been a dog. He seemed to others utter
ly cold and indifferent to what men usually
Ion" after. He always professed, amid his
most splendid achievements, he would ra
ther bo teaching chemistry than leading an
army. When Kossuth sent him, on one oc
casion, 200,000 gilders (.100,000 dollars to
make a provision for hit future, and, in or
der not to offend him, enclosed it to his
w ife, he sent it back with ihe remark "If I
fall, 1 6hall not need il, and my wife can be
governest again, as she was before ; if we
are conquered, and 1 escape, I can be pro
fessor abroad ; if we conquer, and I survive
the victory, I need no money now !"
After oue of his great victories, the min
istry tent him certain decorations and orders
of honor ; be put them aside with a sneer,
that "such gewgaw were not the thing for
a republic !" People have told me that, af
ter the storming of Ofen, Iho only words on
the lips of the people and of ihe army was
'Gorgey ! Gorgey .'".but wilh all Ihe de
monstration before ihe quarters, he never
even showed himself, and remained coldly
wilbin, indeed expressing himself that "this
very bombardment was the ruin of Hun
gary !' He always sneered at everybody
even the friend that idolized him ; and
win almost , iho only man in Hungary who
wa perfectly indifferent uudur Kossuth'
eloquence. Amid the splendidly dressed
Hungarian officers, he always appeared in
bit old major't coal, and in boot which he
had not taken off peibaps for a week. ' A
lady told me she met bim, aftei the taking
of Ofen,' in a vile looking coat, wilh a great
hole in one of the elbow.' She remonstra
ted with him for wearing tuoh a thing. :
"Pooh !" he said, "1 ahall be known
through all my rag '." i T v '.
. 'Ah l"1 said she, ' pointing to ihe rent,
"see the Diogeuea ' peeping through the
hole !" at which be eeroed very unusually,
disconcerted. . t .. ; , - ,. ; -;
And I have no doubt the lady had hit the
matter eiaotly. Il was not that he was in
different to people' opiniouv He look ;tb
very couse to show hi owu pride ; bis ru
ling trait teem to have been a mean, nelfi.h
pride. 11a wa unspeakably jealous of

THE ORLEANS FAMILY.
The decree of Louis Napoleon, ronf seating
the Orleans estates, it i known o our read
ers, has created no little dissatisfaction in
France, especially among; those whom the
tWpei had railed lo hi confidential coun
sels. The Washington Globe supplies the
following statement of facts in reference to
this matter, which w ill be read with inter
est : .
The Orleaks Family. Loni Philippe,
who was an ambitions man and fond or pow
er, was still fonder of money, and always
kept an eye lo the main chance. On the day
before ha mounted ihe Ihronp, in August,
1S30, he executed a deed of gift a dotation
the French call it in faror of hi children!
of all his vast property, amounting lo about
two hundred million of france, reserving to
himself the usufruct of it, by which ihe con
veyance remained inoperative unlit after hi
death. The rponson for the deed of gift was
this: By the laws and usages of France, for
a long lime back, a person coming to the
Ihrono ceased to own private property, and
nil thai he was in possession of previously
became, ifsojacto, vested in the Crown ; that
is it was annexed to the sovereignty, let that
sovereicnty be where it might. This law
Louis Phillippe disiegarded, and thought that
by his dotation he would secure to his family
all his enormous wealth. , There was some
discussion about his proceeding at Ihe time,
but no resistance to il, as the "Citizen King"
was then loo powerful and too popular lo be
resisted. And so things went on during his
reign of seventeen years and a half. When
he went into exile in 1848, his dispositions
wilh regard to his propetty were respected,
nnd continued so to be until Ihe 23d of Jan
nary last, on which day Louis Napoleon, by
a decree of about a dozen lines, confiscated
to the use of the State Ihe whole of Ihe es
tate of Louis Philippe included in hi dota
tion, on the around that that act was illegal,
and lhat on his accession, his estates vested
by operation of law in ihe sovereign, with
out respect lo the person. The lawyers dif
fer about this; but the usage and ihe prece
dents are against tho dotation. Henry the
Fourth attempted to do the same thing lhat
Louis Philippe did, but his designs were frus
trated by the Parliaments then judicial tri
bunals and he finally acquiesced in their
decision.
S3000 Reward. A Mr. J. W. Ray, of
New York city, offers to mechanics, invent
