Shenstone ordered his footboy to pursue the robber at a distance, and observe whither he went. In a short time the lad returned, and informed his master that, having traced the man to his home, he peeped through the keyhole of the door, and saw him throw the purse to his wife, and then, taking up two of his poor children, one on each knee, said to them that he had ruined his soul to keep them from starving, and immediately burst into a flood of tears. Having learnt that he was a labourer, reputed honest and industrious, but oppressed by want and a large family, Shenstone went to his house, when the man, kneeling down at his feet, implored mercy. The poet not only forgave him, but provided him employment as long as he lived. True repentance is rewarded here or hereafter. A NEW ZEALAND " LADY"--A young gentleman who left Preston above four years ago thus writes home from Wandanui, in New Zealand, to a friend : Needlewomen are much wanted in a double capacity ; in the first and most important as wives, in the second as dressmakers, &c. All young men should marry before emigrating. Many who come out here form matrimonial connexions with the natives. My partner is a native, and, though faultless in form, her com plexion is not more fair than black—in plain language she is a lady of colour, the exact shade approaching much nearer to polished brown paper or mahogany than anything else I can remember. She cannot speak English, and is much addicted to what you would call smoking, but what she elegantly terms kai tupeka— Anglice, food tobacco. Her hair hangs in negligent gracefulness, and is of a beautiful and brilliant black. Her eyes are brown, her person tall and erect, and her carriage faultless, and as dignified as that of any European. From one ear is suspended a shark's tooth, and the other is embellished with a bit of coloured worsted. Her feet were never tortured by shoes, nor concealed by stockings ; they are as free as when nature formed them. She swims to perfection, can manage a canoe in a sea that would appal a London waterman, and is such an adept at catching fish that Izaak Walton would have shrunk in competitip with her. I have been induced to make these remarks, as they will apply to the whole native race. European women are so scarce that English and Maori connexions are little noticed. The practice is common ; and the dark complexions, naked feet, and kai tupeka become as familiar as possible. FICTON AT WATERLOO. — I once heard an anecdote of Picton ( says Curling, in his " Recollections of the Mess Table,") from an officer who was himself at Wa terloo. Picton, I was told by this officer, was wounded the day before Waterloo, but had concealed his hurt, and with the most heroic fortitude remained in the field. During the night, however, the agony of his wound obliged him to send for a surgeon, who re mained with him until dawn ; and, on his leaving, Picton thus addressed him:—' You say that my wound is dangerous—mortal ; that I am unfit for duty, and must be represented so to the Duke ?" Such is my opinion,' said the medical man. ' I think it would be impossible for you to take command of your division.' — Leave me to judge of that, sir,' said Picton, and in the meanwhile, allow me to ask you a question,—From your long knowledge of me, do you consider me capable of strictly keeping my word ?" I have every cause to believe so,' returned the surgeon, but, why the ques tion, Sir Thomas ?" Simply for this reason,' returned Picton, that I have made up my mind to be in the field with my brigade ; and I give you my word of honour, both as a gentleman and a soldier, that if you place my name in your report as unfit for duty, I will shoot you with my own hand.' The surgeon shrugged his shoulders, shook Picton by the hand, and with drew. The gallant general's name was accordingly omitted amongst the wounded; and, as his wish had often been expressed, that he might die amidst the blaze of battle, he was gratified. A FEVERISH DREA.3l.—Reader, were you ever stricken with fever ? If so, you cannot fail toremember the hideous, bizarre, grosteque shapes which haunted you during the hours of delirium, with a distinctness and pertinacity positively appalling. Never can we forget the monstrous old hag who nightly glided into our apartment, saluted us with a low mocking laugh, and then kept us spell-bound for hours by the fascina tion of her glittering eye. Then came the Haverel, in the shape of an ancient and garrulous gentleman, who persisted in telling us everything that we knew , ARD. before', with a prolixity which nothing could check, and a monotony that sounded like the eternal ticking of a clock. At length, he made way for a fanciful figure, a sort of compound between a howling derveesh and Jim Crow, who went through a series of unnatural gyrations and contortions to the music of some un known instrument more frightfully ear-piercing than a cat-call. Anon we were lifted into the air by an unseen genie, and plunged into a hot-bath, which, by some ingenious mechanism, was so constructed as to surround the council-chamber of our native city, and therein we were compelled to swim slowly round, listening all the while to a protracted debate on the weary subject of the Annuity-tax. Suddenly we were transported far away into central Africa, over Saharas, and among turning sand drifts and whirling pillars, from whose approach red-maned lions galloped, with an appalling roar, to an ancient temple in the City of the Sun, at the gate of which we were met by a cour teous griffin, who laid his claws upon his heart, assured us of a cordial welcome, and requested our attendance at a banquet of fricassed Arimaspians. Presently, in strode Odin, armed with the hammer of Thor, and with one tremendous blow reduced our friend the griffin to pulp, and possibly might have done the same execution to ourselves, had not Freya interfered, and desired us to pledge her in a draught of mead out of a scull, marked and numbered after the lively fashion of the phrenologists. Then there was heard a loud whirr of wings above, and with a shrill shriek the Scandinavian deities dispersed into fetid smoke ; for the roof opened above our head, and down came swooping Jupiter horsed upon his eagle. Right jovial was his air as he politely desired us not to discompose ourselves, for he merely intended to amuse himself for an hour or so by looking on at a dance of the demigods and heroes. Instantly the scene was changed. The temple was transformed into a modern ball-room, splendidly lit up with an orchestra in which Apollo, who looked re markably-like Monsieur Jullien, presided; and in a trice, amidst the unextinguishable laughter of the gods— for the whole hierarchy of Olympus was there—Her cules, Achilles, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon, dashed like maniacs into the intricacies of the reel of Houlakin. Then there was a call for a song from Homer, but no sooner had the fine old bar d u p lifted his voice, than the two peacocks, which stood on each side of Juno, set up such a scraighing, that every god, goddess, and demigod, bolted with their fingers in their ears, and we, in our attempt to escape, fell plump down a draw-well, and landed on the back of a crocodile. — Blackwood' s Magazine. OUR OUTPOSTS ON THE TCHERNAYA.-0 11 the 25th I rode to our outposts on the Tchernaya, and after wards completed the circuit of the position. Descending from the plateau by the Woronzoff-road with a com panion, we crossed the g round where the light brigade made their memorable carge, to the low heights be tween the plateau and the Tchernaya, leaving behind us the hills from which the Turkish outposts were driven in the affair of Balaklava, and which were now again occupied by our Ottoman Allies. The plains were in every part covered with luxuriant herbage and flowers, varying in character with the ground, the lower portions being ,stimetimes moist and filled with marsh plants, while a shorter growth clothed the upland slopes. At the base of the low heights, which were now occupiect by a French division under Can robert, six field-bhtteries were posted, the heights themselves were covered with the French tents, and bowers made of brandies ; and the guns in the Rus sian works above the ruins of Inkermann tried vainly to reach them with shells, which, for the most part, burst high in air midway. A dell in the midst of these heights led to the road along which we had marched from Mackenzie's Farm. The bridge by which we had crossed the Tchernaya was uninjured, and on the further side the French were constructing a tete-du-pont or earthen work, the faces flanked by parapets for musketry on the hither side of the river. We rode along the bank, which was lined with Frenchmen and Sardinians fishing, and who appeared to have good sport, pulling out fish something like trout ; one soldier caught a carp of a pound and a half. The meadows here, though they must in win ter have been deep swamps, contained the re mains of many burrows where the Russians had bivouacked, the branched roofs of which had fallen in. At a neighbouring ford several hundred French cavalry were watering their horses, the men
