passions are no doubt co.., Ter now; he has
been much tried since knew him, but he

WrT OF FREScH RAscALs.-A trick
was played off a few days ago at the Fair
OF Breaute (Seine lnferieur) A we'll dress
ed gentleman sauntering about with val
liable gold headed cane in his hand, was
stopped by wrelched looking man who
dragged himself painfully along on cru,c!i.
es, and piteously implored charity. The
gentleman, moved TO compassion, generous.
ly gave The beggar piece Of silver. How
can you be so foolish" cried man stand.
ing by, that fellow is IN impoSor, and no
more lame than YOU are. just lend me
your cane for = minute. and bv means Of 4
sound thrashing will convince you Of the
truth Of what say" The gentleman me.
chanicallv let the man take The cane,
and the beggar throwing down his crulch
es, ran off rs fast rs he could. The other.
amidst roars of laughter from the by stand
ers, ran after him, meLacing hiin with the
cane, and SO they ran considerable dis
,aHce, when they turned aside into tile
town. and were seen no more. The gentle.
man waited for some time, expecting to
see the man return with his cane, but the
expectation was in vain. /, was then clear
that the whole scene had been an affair con
cer,ed between pair of adroit rogues.
The gentleman had nothing for it bu, to
walk home, feeling very foolish a, having
allowed himself 10 he so viciimized
