THE THREE sHARPERs.
AN ARABIAN TALE.

A peasant was conducting goat to Bag
dad; he was mounted on mule, and the goat
following him with a bell hung to his neck.
Three young bucks observing him, one of
them proposed at an even bet that he would
take the goat without the countrynan's
knowledge, Notwithstanding the tinkling Of
the bell. Done, said the second, and
at the some time Twill lay you wager that
1 will steal from the fellow the mule he rides
upon without exciting his suspicion. p
" That must be difficult task indeed, OBJ
served the third; but if you will double the
stakes, l will engage to take from him all the
clothes upon his back, and carry them off
without his trying 10 hinder metz These
proposals being mutually agreed to, the first
commenced his task, which was to steal the
goat. Having dexterously loosened the
fastening to the bell, he slipt it from the
goats neck, tied it % the mules tale, and
made off with the goat undiscovered. The
peasant, hearing the, tinkling Of the bell,
never doubted but that the goat followed
him. However, happening to look be-
hind him sometime after, he was strange
" surprised at missing the little animal,
(which h0vwas to sell at market. He now
made inquiry Of every passenger, in hopes
Of hearing from his afayed goat; at last, the
second sharper accos,ed him, and told hin
he had just seen man make down the mex
lane precipitaiely, dragging along 2 goat By
the hind logs. The peasant, thinking ht
could run faster than bis old mule could
| ~ him, instantly discounted and requested
the young fellow 70 hold his mnie, while n
Il set OFF full speed in pursuit Of the thief

SECRET TRIBUNAL OF GERMANY

Few phenomena, either moral or political,
have excited more the attention of the phil

mote period Of time, it is impossible clearly
to decide whether its origin was Of a Ma
sonic character or otherwise; and it Is GER
tain that many Of the ceremonies and rites
by which its proceedings were characterised
approached to the ritual of the Ancient Free
and Accepted Order, butas that resemblance
fails to identify itself with the landmarks Of
Freemasonry, the truth must still remain a
matter Of speculation. It is far from being
our object in this sketch to justify all the
proceedings Of the free judges; like all hui
man authority they were subject to the In
fluences Of passions, prejudices, and feelings,
which are inseparable from our nature
Our Objects merely to show its mysterious
power: the perfect despotism which it exer-
cised over its actions,-its members com
PEELED the father to denounce the son-the
brother to take the brothers. life-if sentence
were once passed by the banded judges
In forming our opinion of the Institution,
much should be allowed for the peculiar
state of the German empire at the period
when the vheme fourished. Feudalism
in all its anti-social terrors, existed; the
warlike nobility Of the age claimed iuris.
