1, Ocncral 3niclligrilcc, Ckintmnient, illatitctri,
One beautiful evening, in the year 1815,
the parish priest of- San Pietro, a villre a
• few miles distant from returned
much (allotted to his little cottage, where he
found his aged housekeeper, the Senoa Mar
izarita, watching for him, Notwithsvinding
that one is well accustomed to the sight of
extreme nOverty in Spain, it was impossible
to help being struck by the utter destitution
which 'appiltred in the house of the priest
the more so', as every itnriginable contrivance
had been resorted to, to hide nakedness of
the wad's, and tin' shalthiness of the furni
ture. Alargarim had prepared for her mas,
ter's sniper a rather small dish of olla-pod•
riga, which consisted, to say the troth of the
temains of the dinner, seasoned and disonis
cd with ereat shill, and a a u nts. As site
placed the savoury dish upon the tattle, the•
priest =aid : ''Wit 54111 thank ( fod for this
good slipper, Margarita ; this 0110 podriga
makes nun's month water. Aly friend, you
ought to be orateful for (iodine so eoeil
supper at the house of your host I" A: the
word host, Marearita i'aised her eyes, and
saw a stranger, who had followed her nuts.
ter. 1 ler countenance changed, and she
looked annoyed. She glanced indignantly
first at the unknown, and then at the priest,.
who looking down, said in a low voice, and
with the timidity of a child: ..What is
tnough for two, is always enough for three ;
and surely you would not wish that .I should
allow a Christian to die of hunger? Ile has
not tasted food for two days."
! Ile is more !Rio a brig
and !" and Margarita left the room murmur
. i ng_loud .en au ry,.h_to beireard.
leanwhile the unwelcome nncst had re
trained standing at the door. Ile was a man
of great height, half•dressrd in rags, nil
covered ‘‘ nit mad ; while his black hair,
piercing eyes, and carbine, gave him an ap
pearance w h ich, though hardly prepos-ess
‘‘ as certainly inturesting. "Most I
go l" said he.
Thuopriest replied with an emphatic ges
ture : "Those whom 1 bring under my roof
are never driven forth, and are never unwel
come. Put down your carbine. Let us
say grace, and• go to the table."
"I never leave my carbine, for, as the Cas
tilian proverb says, ..Two friends are one."
My carbine is my best friend ; and I. always
keep it:beside me. Although you allow me
to come into your house, and do not oblige
me to leave it until I v:ish to do so, there
are others who would think nothing of haul
ing toe out, and, perhaps with toy feet fore
most. Come—to your health, mine host,
and let us to Supper."
The priest possessed an extremely good
appetite but the voracity of the stranger soon
obliged him to give up, for, not contented
with eating, or rather devouringulearly the
whole ofilie olla-podriga, the guest finished
a large loaf of bread, without hearing a crumb.
While lie• ate, he kept continually looking
round with an expression of inquietude ; he
started at the slighest sound ; and once, when
a violent gust of wind made the door bang.
he sprang to his feet, and seized his car
bine, with an air which showed that, if ne
cessary, he would sell his life dearly. Dis
covering the cause of the alarm he resented
himself at the table, and finished his repast.
"Now," said he, "I have one more thing
to ask. I have been wounded, and for eight
days my would has not been dressed.
Clive me a few old • rags, and you shall be
no longer burdened with my presence."
-I ant in no haste for you to go," replied
the priest. Whose guest, notwithstanding his
constant watchfulness, had conversed very
entertainingly. know something of sur
gery and will dress your wound.''
• So saying, he took from a cupboard a case
containing everything, necessary, and pro
ceeded to do as he had said. Tlie stranger
hail bled profusely, a ball having passed
through his thigh ; arid to have travelled in
this condition, and while suffering, too, front
want of food, sliewed.a strength which seem
ed hard-ly human.
..You cannot possibly continue your jour
ney to day," said the host. ...You must
pass the night here. A little rest will get
up your strength, diminish the intimation
of your wound, and"—
iu-3ip
inust go to-day, and immediately,"•in
terrupted the stranger. "There are sonic
who wait for me," he added with n sigh—
"and there are some, too, who follow me."
And the momentary look of loftness passed
from his features between the clauses of the
sentence, and gave place to an expression al
most of ferocity. "Now, is it finished !
That is well. See, I can walk as firmly us
though I had never been wounded. Give
me some bread ; pay yourself for your hos
pitality with this piece of gold, and ideu."
The priest put back the gold with dis
pleasure. "1 am not an innkeeper," said he;
"1 do not sell my hospitality."
"As you will, but pardon me; and now,
farewell my kind host.
So saying, he took the bread, which Mar
garita, at her toaster's command, very un
willing gavi3 him, and soon his tall figure
disappeared among the thick foliage of wood
whiCh surrounded the house, or rather the
cabin: An . hour had scarcely passed, When
musket shots were, heard close by and the
unknown re-appeared, deadly Filo, and

bleeding from a deep wound near the heart:
"Take these," said he, giving some piece. 4
of gold to his late host; "they are for my
childrennear the stream—in the valley.
He fell and the next moment several po
lice officers rushed into the house. They
hastily secured the unfortunate mar 4 who
attempted no resistance. The priest entrea
ed to be allowed to dress his wound, which
was permitted ; but when this was done they
insisted un carrying him away immediately.
They would not even procure a carriage ;
and when they were told of the danger of
removing a man so severely wounded, they
merely said, "What does 'it matter? If ho
recovers, it will to T.( cei ve sentence of death.
Ile is the famous brigand; Jose."
Jose thanked the intercessor with a look.
Ile then asked for a little water, and when
the priest brouelit it to him he said in a
1311.1 voice. "Remember." The reply
was merely a sign Of intelligence. W hen
they wet-- gone, note ithstanding all Mar
garita could say to the danger of going out
at Melo, the priest crossed the wood, de
scended into the valley, and s - ion found, be;
side the bo.ly ol a woman, is Ito had doubt
less b , en killed by a stray ball ol the police,
an infant, and a little boy of about fours years
old, who was trying in vain to awaken his
mother. Imagine Mat7arita's amazement
when the priest returned with two children
in his arm.
"May all good saints defend us ! — Wliat
have you done, sooner? We have barely
enough to live upon, and you bring two
children! I suppose I must beg from door
to door, for you and for them. And, for
mercy's sake, who are these children ?--The
sons of that, brigand, gipsy, thief, murdereri
perhaps ! I ant sure they have never been
baptised'" At this moment the infant be
grin to cry. "And pray, Senora Clerigo,
how do you mean to feed that child ? "You
know very well that we have no means pay:

arms. "Fortunately, I have a little milk

who seemed half frozen. I ler master watch
ed her in silence, and when at last he saw
her kiss its little cheek, he turned away with
a quiet smile.
When at length the little one had been
hushed into a gentle slumber, arid when Mar
garita, with the assistance of her master's
cloak, and some of her own clothes, had
made a bed fur the elder boy, and placed him
in it, the good man told her how the child
ren had been committed to his care, and the
promise he had made, though not in words,
to protect them.
"That is very right and good, no doubt,"
said Margarita ; "I only want to know how
we are all to live ?" The priest opened his
Bible. and read aloud :
"Whosoever shall give to drink unto one
of these little ones a cup of coil water ; only
in the name of a disciple, verily 1 say unto
you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."
"A men !" said Margarita.
Twelve years passed by. The parish
priest of San Pietro, who was now more
then seventy years old, was sitting in the.
sunshine at - his door. Near him, a boy of
about twelve years old was reading aloud
from the Bible, looking occasionally towards
a • tall, Imo looking young man who was
hard at work in a garden close by. Mar-;'
garita who was now become blind, sat and
listened.—Suddenly, the sound of - wheels'

A splendid carriage approached rapidly;

sed servant approached, and asked for a cup'
of water for his master.
"Carlos." said the priest to the youngei
boy, "go bring water to the gentleman ; and
add some wine, it he will accept it. Op,'
quickly !" At this moment, the carriage .

about fifty years old, alighted.
"Are these your nephews ?" said he to'
the priest.
"They are more than that senor ;they are •
my children—the children of my adoption."-
"Flow is that ?"
"1 will tell:yen, senior ; for I am oldand
poor and know but little of 'the world, and
um much in need of advice for I know not'

related the story we have just told. "And;
