The foot pad quickly divessed the bishop
of his single-breasted coat-laid violen
hands upon the clerical hat and full-bot
toned wig--put them on his own person
and then insisted on seeing his late appare
used in their stead; and with loud laugh
ran off, as though his last feat had been the
most meritorious of his life.
Thankful for having escaped with un
broken bones. his lordship was not long in
overtaking his carriage; the servants could
not rcpress their laughter at seeing their
master in such strange and motley attire
but there was in his face such evidence oil
terror and suffering, that they speedily
checked their risible inclinations, particu-
larly when they learnt by few brief words
the danger he had undergone.
tionate wife, after listening TO the account
Of the perils to which her husband had
been exposed, 'for heavens sake take of
that filthy jacket, and throw it out at the
window. You can put my warm cloak on
your shoulders till we reach the next stage,
and then you will be able to purchase some
habit better suited to your station and call

Take it off, dear papa observed the
daughter, but don't throw it away; per-

The obnoxious garment was removed;
the young lady was about to place it under
the seat, Shen she heard jingling noise
that attracted her attention, and, on exami
nation, found, secreted, in various parts of
the coat, not only the watch, pocketb book,
purse and silver, of which her father had
been deprived, but a yellow Canvas bag,
such as is used by farmers, containing
about thirty guineas.
The surprise and JOY of all parties may
be imagined; they reached the inn where
they proposed stopping for the night, and
as the portmanteaus had escaped the dan
gers of the road, the bishop was speedily
able to attire himself economically. Before
the party retired for rest, intelligence ar
rived that the hiyhwayman had been taken,
after a desperate resistance--the notice of
the police being attracted by the singular
appearance of a man of his station sporting
a new black coat, and covering his shaggy,
carroty locks with the well-powdered and
peruke of the right reverend, the
Bishop of Cashel.

To SwEErEN RANCID BU7TEE.--An ag-
riculturalist, near Brussels, having sue
ceeded in removing the bad smell and dis
agreeable taste Of some bistter, by beating
or mixing it with chloride OF flime, he was
encouraged by this happy resaA to con-
tinue his experiments by trying them upon
butter SO rancid as to be past use; and he
has taken from butter odor and taste which
were insupportable, SO that it had all the
sweetness offresh butter. This operation
is extremely simple and practicable for all
1t consists in beating the butter in suffi-
cient quantity of water, in which had been
mned % to 30 drops of chloride of lime TO
two pounds ofbutter After having brought
all its parts in contact with water, it may
be left for an hour or two; af.erward with
drawn and washed anew in fresh water
The chloride of lime used having nothing
injurious in it. can be increased, bat af,er
having verified the experiment II was found
that 25 to 80 drops to two and 4 half pounds
of butter were sufficient.

true, that it may be doubted whether any
large thoughted man, who was accustomed
to grapple with the great problems Of life
and society, and to express himself with ac-
curacy and discrimination, ever found il
easy on the rostrum to deliver his thoughts
with ffuencY and grace. An able wri.er
on this subject says that he recollects. when

two clergymen-the one an educated but

ever he attempted to preach without notes.

Where all is made right which so puzzles us here
Where the glare and the glitter, and tinsel of Time
Fade and die in the light of that region sublime
Where the soul. disenchanted of flesh and of sense,
Unscreened by Its trappngs and shows and pretense
Must be clothed for the life and the service above
With purity, truth, faith, meekness and love;
Oh, daughters of Earth! foolish virgins beware!
Lest in that upper realm you have nothing to wear!
