A COOL AVENGER.—A. certain English gentleman
who was a regular frequenter of the green room of Derry
Lane Theatre in the days of Lord Byrdn's committee,
and who always stood quietly on the hearthrug tbc
with his back to the fire, was in his usual place one nigh
when a narrative was related by another gentlenri
newly returned from the Continent, of a barrier due
that had taken place in Paris. A young Englishman"'
a mere boy— bad been despoiled in a gaming h°°6:
in the Palais Royal, had charged a certain gaol„"
Count with cheating him, had gone out with the
Count, had wasted his fire, and bad been slain by the
fellow—have Count under the frightful circumstances of the Count,

out. The gentleman on the hearthrug paused i°
a pinch of snuff to hear this story, and
served with great placidity, " I am afraid I must kr
that rascal." A few nights elapsed, during whico
the green-room hearthrug was without him, and the
he re-appeared precisely as before, and only incifie,!
Tally mentioned in the course of the cv nieg, se Gentle;

on purpose, bad tracked the Count to the same gatn)nre
house, had thrown a glass of wine in his face in la
presence of all the company assembled there, bad t
him that he was come to avenge his young nompatri°,a
—had done it by petting the Count out of this ei°t'a
and coming back to the hearthrug as if nothing hi/
happened.—Dickens's " Household Words,"
