TIE MYSTERIOUS HIGHWAYMAE.

There was a shrewd robber somewhere.
The farm-houses were robbed; shops were
robbed: the iills of the bars at the wayslde
inns were robbed and the people lad
their pockets picked. All this happened IN
the region of country between Sidney ana
Iovstone-not a field of vast ex.ent-snd
vet the robber or robbers could not be found
Officers had searched in every direction,
and several suspicious looking individuals
had been apprehended, bat the real cuipr,i
still remained at large. One day the mail
was robbed, and on the next man had MS
pocket picket of FIVE hundred pounds, while
riding on the stage coach-for my narrative
dates back TO the old coaching days. The
money had been carried in his breast
pocket, and he knew that it was stolen from
him while be was enjoying bit OF doze
on the road.
/ had been confined to my house By
severe cold for several days, and was not

valuable medicine since he came on board;
that il had been abstTacted from his berth,

he said it was quart bottle filed with a
mixture of brandy, sugar and the whites OF

were that it had fallen into The hands OF a

As soon as the prisoner was secured, |
had his trunk taken off and brought in, and
upon overhaning its contents, we found
DISCUSSES of all sorts, and quite a sum of
money, besides watches and jewelry of
much value. / made him assume proper
male attire, and when he stood forth in
propria persona, found that he had not only
used red paint for the blushing beauty of
to-day, but that he had applied more
cadaverous coloring matter for the con-
sumptive individual of yesterday. As he
stood now, he was a lighi-built, intelligent
looking YOUTH of not more than five and
twenty; but with cold blooded expression
upon his marble face, and an evil look in
his dark eyes
We carried him back 10 Lowstone, where
we found The money of the old farmer upon
him, besides other money which had been
lost by different individuals. At first he
told strange stories of himself, but finally,
when he knew the worst must come, he
confessed the whole. He was from London,
and had come into the country on purpose
who had helped him from place TO place.
One OF them had taken him away from the
inn the night before, and the other had
brought him and Sc: him down at the
farmers gate that morning. We made
search for these confederates, but they had
got wind OF their principals arrest and were
not TO be found.
However, we had got the chief sinner,
and had broken up the game. After he
had been found guilty and sentenced, he
seemed to enjoy himself hugely in telling
how he had deceived the good people OF
our county Now he would turn himself
into the old woman who had given the
driver so much trouble about her band box
Then he would be again the meek -browed
minister, who had distributed tracts TO the
passengers, and picked their pockets while
they read Then he would draw himself
up into The little hump backed old man,
who had been lifted into and out of the
coach, and robbed his helpers while they
fixed his cruiches for him. 1t was funny
very-and perhaps we might never have
caught him but for the accident of the fag-
got. That was not so funny for him /; and
doubt if he found much fun in working at
the hard stone-hammering early and late
with an inexorable master over him to
! spur him up when he Jagged.

A HAPPY DEATH-ln what a variety OF
forms and shapes cometh the last summons
10 us, for this body TO separate from the
soul--for this corruption 10 put on incor-
ruption, and this mortal Immortality.
We, with a party of friends, were dis
cussing this mater one evening, when one
of our number, physician, remarked that
if he could have his choice of exit from this
world, ne would prefer TO go off in con-
sumption. "My wife," he said, event off
in that way. So gradually and so gently
was her demise, that she seemed 10 steal
imperceptibly away; and when the hand
of death was really upon her, | leaned over,
and asked her how she felt. She opened
her bright blue eyes, radiant with a most
happy expression of JOY, softened with
tranquility, and whispered, 'Do not speak,
dear husband, pray you, but hold your
arms around me, darling-it will be as
we'll ] am Just changing worlds, and oh

A NEw SoLUTIoN.-Not long since, GER
tain Quack, who looked as learned as an old
owl, was addressed by one OF his patients
thus:
"Doctor, tell us how it is that when we
eat and drink, the meat is separated from
the drink ln
''Why I'll tell Jou," said the learned man
of pills. "You see, as how, there is in the
neck TWO pipes-one of them is 10 receive
meat and the other drink. AT the top of
them pipes is lid or cIapper, and when we
eat, this clapper shuts up the drink pipe,
and when we drink, il turns back upon the
meat pipe-a see-saw kind of notion
Queer apparatnses, | assure you"
''But DOCTOR" said the patient, ''it seems
to me that ere clapper must play d-d
sharp game when we eat pudding and
milk"
Quack took his hat and slid, advising his
patient 10 "swear not at all"

AUTUNN'S BANNER.

King Autumn's golden banner
Is floating on the air
And Natures glad "Hosanna"
Is hushed in silence there.
Save moaning wings of breezes,
That murmur "Summer's past,
And lilies. pinks and roses,
Were all too bright 10 last.
Where are the gems of Flora !
In garden. bower and dell
Alas J with summers glory,
They faded and they fell,
In dust they now are sleeping,
With human flowers so fair;
While rain and dew are weeping,
Above them in the air.
King Auiumn's pennon golden,
Out spread o'er vale and hill,
And giant cedars olden,
With million leahess still
Bot tinged with frost's cold inger
What colors they display:
And rain bow sheen will linger
Until the winter day.
Farewell 10 the summers glories,
The charms of Flors's baud
The robins matin stories;
Or Oriole, so bland
Der Natures fair dominion
The autumnal banner floats,
And passage-blrds, OH pinions,
Their farewell sound in notes.
Away to austral regions,
To sing ia orange bowers;
They f1y in countless legions
From this cold cline OF ours.
But spring in all her beauty,
Shall lure these wanderers back
On plumes of love and duty
They'll come in music's track.

G0Ortester Daily SPY,

SUPERSTITION IN ENGLAND.-A lady who
was staying lately near Penzance, attended
funeral, and noticed that whilst the clergyman
was reading the burial service, woman forced
her way through the paltbearers to the cage
of the grave. When he came to the passage,
Earth 10 earth, ashes to ashes, dust 10 uus.,
she dropped a white cloth upon the comm
closed her eyes, and apparently sag prayer.
On making inquiries as to the cause OF this
proceeding this lady found that superstition
exists among the peasants in that part, that
if a person with sore be taken secretly to
cornse, The dead hand passed over the sore
Mace and the bandage afterwards dropped up
On the coffin during the reading of the burial
service. a perfect cure would be the result
The woman had child who had a bad leg,
and she had followed this superstition, with a
firm belief in its efficacy. The peasants to the
present day wear charms, believing that they
will protect them from sickne ss and other evils
The wife of the clergyman of the parish was
very charitable in attending the sick, and dis
pensing medicines, and one day woman
brought her child having sore eyes, to have
them charmed, having more faith in that than
in medicines.
