MIGHT AND RIGHT
Nearly every country Village has its
bravo. Wode not mean an"assassin,"
nor "a man who murders for hire," as
, Worcester explains the word ; ttut we
mean-the king of the' village tavern—
the man who can "whip anybody in
town"—the great animal who thinks
his position enviable, and who is envied
by men of puny bodies and little brains.
Our village had its bravo, at all events,
and a perfect type of his class he was,
too, a great,lover of the "ardent" And
ever reqdy, to lift his hoarse voice, and
exert his rude strength, in opposition
to all good.
His name was .Tonathan Burke,
though I never heard him called Jona
than but once, and that was before a
justice's court. Jack Dirk° was his
"namo the world over," as he often,
said. Ho was a big, burly fellow, six
feet and tWo Inches tall, with .broad,
massive shoulders, great long arms,
,and a head like a small pumpkin. His
face was characteristic. A low, rece
ding fbreheasi, •small pug. nose, thick,
heavy lips, a broad chin, and all blotched
and patched with whisky flowers.' His
eyes of a light gre'y, veiling on green,
his hair, coarse and 'crisp, was burnt
ain't 8,1111 - tirlt , tt neitbar ,rtul,ilayen, nor
yet of a dark bud. _The only featifres
in the whelp, maß,which tended' to de
tract front his herculean proportions
was the flat, or rather hollow, appeal
ance of his breast: To one skilled iii
avatoiny or. physiology it would have
been :it once apparent that he had .bia
little of what is generally .denominated
"bottom,”' and that a long-continued
physical efforts would have reduced his
"wind."
From his youth upack Burke had
been at once shunned and feared. Be
took little .pleasure in society, but
chuckletr, with brae delight, at the
1J
timid, trembling, shrinking way with
which the village girls,'and'even many
of the.wcaker boys, passed him.
AS he grew old he became more inso
lent and coarse, and When to his natu
rally wolfish , nature was added the
ferocity of drunkenness, he became the
terrorof the village. At the time of
his writing.he was twenty-two, and fast
forgetting the little useful knowledge
he had acquired.at school.
Among , LIM recent accession to the
population,of our village was a young
man by the' name of Alfred Maltby.
He was a small man, not over live feet
ten inches in height, and quite slender,
but the man who studied him closely,
would have seen that the paleness was
the result of long Confinement, and was
more, after all, a delicate fairness of
skin than a lack of health. And I could
also litiNe' becu seen that his slight
frame was,, admirable moulded' and
bound litiply Mgether.
Alfred 1i1144y, was what the girls of
our village,' and especially our lodge
(Live-for-ever 209), called a handsome
man, and, moreover, the , young tnen
voted hint a • "good L fellow," and the
little - fellows—why, if you had dated
call Grim "a mutt'," or an "old snuffy"'
the boys would have thrown stones at
your windows, and stolen your apples,
and inflicted their direst, vengeance, &
only small boys can. ,
And Maltby was equally successful
with the "old folks:" lie was respect
ful, without stupidity,. and knew just
what to'say, and when to say it. Not
even our good dominie had so many
friends and so few enemies as the
schoolmaster. So it was not strange
that when we had our next electiOn he
should be chosen. W. C. T. of the
"Live-for-evers," , receiving all the la
dies votes' and two-thirds of the gentle
men.' ,
~.. L 'AI MS study
One day some of us.wn
___1„.,...,,, ~-.—..ieu—we were invited
in as we went by his boarding place,
and we were pleased to accept' his in
vitation. His study was a gem of a
place , for comfott, and among other
things not absolutely necessary in
teaching a school, we detected a Title, a
set of boxing gloves, a pair of foils, and
a pair of heavy broadswords, while
upon the door was a pair of weighty
d uln b-beils. I wondered what these last
were for. Surely not for the teacher's
use, for I could do nothing with them
'save to swing them around at an angle
of forty degrees, and .1 was much heav
ier than he was. -
"Mr. .Maltby," I asked,
these for?"
" Oh, .1 exercise my muscle on them,"
he replied, smiling and taking them up.
First' he raised at arras' length and held
them there soine tnoments,.his breast
swelling out like , Ili; Roman . cuirass.
Then he threw up and out,aud around,
handling • them as tho' they had been
mere toys. t seemed impossible that
so small a ho n should contain so much
strength, but he assured us he had
gained it alt _iy I practice. .11e had la
bored for yehrs o develop his niuseular
system, which I, ad been very deficient
in his. childhood.. He also said that
his exercise, enabled him, easily, to bear
the confinement of the school-room.
Our lodge were making arrangements
for a grand pie-nie xeursion to San

OUT OF THE WRONG POCKET.
Mr. Taggard frowned as he observed
the pile, of bills by his plate, placed
there by his prudent, economical wife,
not without an anxious flutter at the
heart, in anticipation of the scene that
invariably followed. He actually
groaned us he read the sum total.
• "'There must be some mistake, Mary.'
he said, pushing back his plate, with a
desperate air; "it is absolutely lei::
possible for us to have used all these
things in one month I"
" The bills are correct, John," was
the meek response; "I looked them
over myself.'
"'Ten one thing is certain, provis
ions are either wasted—thrown out of
the window, as it were—or stolen I Jane
has relatives in the .place, and I haven't
the least doubt but that she supports
them entirely out of what she steals !"
Mrs, Taggard's temper was evidently
rising ; there were two round, crimson
spots upon her cheeks, and she tapped
her foot nervously upon the floor.
" 1 am neither wasteful or extrava

her to ho perfectly honest and trust

Mrs. Taggart' reina.ined silent, trying
to choke, down the indignant feelings
that struggled for utterance.
" You will - have to order some coal,"
she said at last ; we have hardly suf

" Is there tury thing more, Mrs. Tagg
art 7" inquired her husband, ironically.
" Yes; neither myself, nor the chil

" on, madatn. As lam a man of

" i tioiiit intend to lie," was the quiet
but spirited reply. " 1 wouldn't do for

everything looks so faded and shabby,
that I am ashamed to have any one call.

in Mil usually quiet and patient wile,
but who, like most of that
stamp, had ronsideralJie spirit when it
was aroused.
"New that you are through, Mrs.
Taggard, perhaps you will-let me say a

Laying a roll of hills' on the table,
Mr. Taggard walked Ito• the door; re
marking, just before be closed it, " that

The revery into whiCh Mrs. Taggard
Jell as she listened to thesound of his
retreating steps, was Jar from being a
pleasant one. Aside rom her natural
vexation, she felt grieed and saddened
by the change that hitd come over her

mind seemed to be entirely tilled with
the greed of gain, the desire to amass
money—net for the sake of the 'good
that it might enable Jilin to enjoy, or
confer, but tor the mere pleasure of
hoarding it. And this miserly feeling
greiv upon him daily, until he seemed
to grudge his family the common com
forts of life. And yet Mrs. Taggard
knew that he was not only in receipt of
a comfortable. income from his business,
but had laid by a surplus, yearly, ever
since their marriage.

Mr. niggard clapped his hand into one

" Good heavens !" he exclaimed, in
an agitated tone and manner, " I gave

Mrs: 'haggard did not look at all

countenance wore a very smiling and

O'COBINE'LL AND THE SCOLD.
()ilea the drollest, scenes of vituper

brated Irish author, ever figured in,4
took place in the early part of his life.
Not long alter he was called to the bar,

some lie \vas, even in thine days, con
sidered a niqteldess rcold. llowever,
there was that time in Dublin a cer-,
tali, \vomit'', Biddy _Moriarty, who had!
a huckster's stall Oil one end of the
quay, nearly,oppositc - the Four Courts.
She was a virago of We tirst Order, very
able with her tongue. From one end of
Dublin to the other she was notorious
for her powers of abuse; and even in
the provinces, Mrs ; Moriarty's language
has passed into currency. Th 9 diction
ary of Dublin slang had been consider
ably enlarged by hetrand her volubility
had almost, beeotue, proverbial. Soule
of O'Connell's frieinls, however, tho't
lie could beat her at the use of her own
weapons. Of this however, lie had
some doubt himself, when he had list
ened once or t tv fee to sonic minor speci
mens of her billingsgate. it was moot
ed once whether the young Kerry bar
rister could encounter her,— and sonic
one of the company (in O'Connell's
presence) ridiculed the idea of his being
able to meet the great MadanteAloriarty.
O'Connell never liked the idea of his
being put down, and confessed Ids
were offered and taken ; and it was de
cided' that the matter should corncob
at once.
The party adjourned to the Innik)
titer's stand, and there was the owner
herself, superintending the•sale of her
small ware. A few loungers and idlers
were also lingering around the stall,
for Biddy 'was a " character," and iii
her way, was. one of the sights of Dub
lin.
O'Connell was very confident of suc
cess.- lie had laid a very ingenious plan
for overcoming her, and with all the
anxiety of an- ardent experimentalist,
waited to put it in practice. At this
time O'Connell's own party and tit
loungers about the place formed an at -

Brown was invited to visit a town in
the'extreme rural districts for—thajorr- :
pose of lee t the people on temper
ance. He arrived at his destination
late in the evening, and was invited to
the cottage of a farmer to partake elf
supper, previous to the, display of hig
eloquence.
TheVarmer had two Sans, twenty .to
twent-five years of age, and to them a
temperance lecturer app'earcil some-.
thing more than an ordinary man. r
Brown had great difficulty in drawing
them into conversation, but at length
the ice was broken, and the following
colloquy was the rel-tit :
`1 suppose'you've!butli affixed your
names to the pledge;loalg ago?' queried
our friend. '
' Whieh?' -
I presume you a'e both temperance
men, and liavi pledged yourselves to
abstain from the ilL i of everything that

speakers may profit by the hint.
In 1865, just after the surrender of
Mobile, an officer of the Thirty-third
Infantry, then stationed there, lost his
wife—a lady much esteemed by his
brother-oilicers, who were therefore de
sirous that the rites to, We deceased
should'be performed with the greatest
possible decorum. .The.wmetery being
within short distlinee, it was thought
best that the procession should proceed
thither on foot. The city undertaker
having mounted the seat with the driv

that all was in readiness to move... N
oticing that the officers `sere in regular
order in the rear or' the hearse, and
thinking that la could improve upon
that, he addressed ono ,t' the officers,
