THE DAILY POST.
BACKBONE.
To dross, and sit, and walk gantee/ly,
To bow with ease and grace;
To speak• in accents soft and mealy,
To wear a studied face:
These, and like goodly gifts and graces,
Are well en ugh, I own;
But what we want In this soft age, Is
Boac—backbono.
A heart to feel, a mind to think,
Despite each base control;
A tongue to speak, hand to work,
The purpose of the soul;
By these, and other goodly tokens,
It may be surely known,
If this or that, without the body,
Is bone—backbone.
(rive me a man that's all a man,
Who stands up straight and strong;
Who loves Oa plat and simple right,
And will nog yield to wrong;
Who deals with firm, untrembllng band,
To eve.cy ono his ewn;
Oh a i tested thing in anybody,

THE CONTRABANDIST'S REVENGE.
A C 0 NF ESSION .
[CONTINUED.]
"Oh,Heaven reward your kind,trusting heart,
Mr. Erris I I confess I have been than a fiend
to you : but have mercy 1 I will give you a share
in the trade—"
A loud laugh of derision burst from me.
"I will buru your father's will—l will assign
back to you the whole property—only let ma
live, Master Philip, darling: don't murder l' I
will have him taken from the asylum where he is
dying : ho cannot come out except through me.
Spare me l"
"Spare yen! Will Heaven spare me for the
deep sins you have driven mo to—your murder
among the rest ?"
"Oh pardon, pardon! you may be happy
yet, Master Philp. I will restore everything,
ever jot, every farthing. I will serve you for
life—be your slave. Oh, for the love of God in
Heaven, don't kill me !"
"Tell me, " said I, suppressing my emotions,
"why did Ellen Lucas leave mo for you?"
"Oh, young master, dear, if I tell you the
truth, will you have mercy ?"
"AEk mercy of him whose affair it is, if you
think he will give it to such a fiend incarnate.—
Answer my question, or I will dispatch you this
in=tent."
He started abruptly in the cart.
"I knew her before she became your father's
servant. She lived with me before ever you eaw
her. It was all a scheme to better ourselves.—
She gave me the money you gave her, and I liv
ed upon it. We were not•relations. Now will ,
you let me go with my life, Mr. Philip? you
see I am too despicable for your vengeance."
I slopped my horse anti jumped from my seat,
and taking hold of him, drew him from the cart
to the ground.
4 , Enough," said I ; " /have it all now."
The deep, husky, unnatural sound cf my voice
as I said this struck terror to his heart. We had
stopped close by a small tarn, or mountain lake,
which lay pith its black waters glassy and still,
dimly palpable to the eye, in the thick, cold,
moonless night,—looking like a deadly snake,
coiled up and motionit:ss, but with its fatal eye
glancing upon you
"Oh !" cried he,
"do not throw me in there,
tied up in this way, dear Master Erris. It is
horrible. Any death but such! Oh, will you:
will you spare mo ? I will make restitution of
overy farthing—l will publicly acknowledge my
villainy—l will submit myself to any punish
ment the law may inflict. I will—l swear before
that God that sees us two, whom I believe in, and
dread to enact I I will go with you to the high
sheriff, and confess my fraud ; and not one word
of this night will I ever breathe to ear of mor
tal ! I can do no more Master Philip. Now
won't you, won't you? I will take my oath to
this. Oh I won't you let me live ?"
He woe en hie knees, bending forward his
body, and looking upward in a supplicating pos
ture, while the tears streamed o ver his face. I
stood looking at him for a while. Now I knew
what revenge was : this was something like it—
not as on the night when I might have shot him,
unknown, In the dark street. His hands were
fast behind his back, andlis legs encircled with
the rope, from the knees to the ankles. Thera
he knelt. before mo, utterly helpless: now look
ing at me, and noir taking a glance at the dim,
silent pool below
"Oh, my good young master!" ho continued,
" what's the rise of killing me ? I could make you
all you ever wore. I swear I will do it; only I
must live I I cannot die—l dare not. I shall
be damned—l feel it—oh, mercy, meroy 1"
In theta last words hia voice rose to a maniacal
cry of agonizing terror, while he twisted about,
and danced upon his knees, in the extremity of
his dread and anxiety. Approaching him, I
bound a rope firmly around each ankle, and,
passing them rapidly under the cart, tied his
feet fast to the axle, with his face downwards.
All the while ho continued hurried prayers for
mercy, protestations, and piercing erica of des
pair. Springing again to my place in front of
the cart, I gave the rein to the horse, and it
moved. I heard hie head and face, as, hanging
down, they were dragged along, go knock, knock,
on the stony hill-side : whilst his shrieks rang
and echoed far away across the nntrodden
moorland.
I was now in a francy of excitement ; tha
horse broke into a trot, a canter, a furious gal
: lop, as, screaming, " Now—now you have it :
this is indeed a revenge,—full, glorious revenge
—new l—now I—now !" I lashed the animal
into madness. Presently, the thick and murky
night broke up; there were lightning, several
peals of thualer, and a deluging fall of rain.
Tho poor horse was furious. On it flew like the
wind,—while I clung to the cart, whipping it
now on one side, now on the other with frantic
violence.
In this way we dashed along for about three
miles, when one of the wheels went to pieces.
I was thrown to the ground, and the horse, after
staggering on a few paces, fell among the atones,
and lay on its side struggling and kicking,
smashing the remains of the cart, and the mu
tilated body of Ormond. All this time the rain
continued to fall by bucketfuls.
I sprang up, considerably bruised, but my
bones all sound, and that was enough forme.
My first proceeding was to out the rope•harness
that bound the horse to the fragments of the
cart: having accomplished this, I managed to
get him upon his feet, where he stood trembling
and drooping his head. Securing him to the
sound wheel by the halter, I proceeded to search
for and examine the body of my victim, which
was scarcely to be recognized, from the horri
ble mutilations it had undergone.
I now began to scheme how I should dispose
of the shattered remains of my enemy : a mo
ment, and my purpose was formed. Catching
the rope that tied the lege, I dragged it around
to where the horse stood. As I came close with
it, he snuffed the air, and started, tugging at the
halter with all his force. Seeing this, 1 bound a
hendkercheif over his eyes, and with a little
difficulty succeeded in fixing it across his back.
Jumping up behind it, I spurred towards the
sea, and, after half an hour's gallop, reached
the pleas where the hooker lay?,
