A ROUGE oUTWITTED.

al curieus instance occurred in the great
city of London, some time back, in which
rascal was outwitted. A bachelor gem
tleman, who was very superior drafts
man and caricaturist, was laid up in his
apartment with the gout in both feet. He
could not move, but in aud out Of his chair
to the sitting room. well known yaga-
bond, ascertaining the fact, watched till
his servant was sent upon message. The
area door communicating with the kitchen,
down went the vagabond, entered the kitch
en-. walked up stairs, where, as he expect
ed, he found the man alone and helpless.
al am sorry to see you in such situa-
tion," said the rogue, "you cannot move,
and the servant is out" The gentleman
started. Ii IS excessively careless to
leave yourself exposed-for behold the
consequences take the liberty OF re-
moving this watch and seals of the table.
and putting them in my own pocket; and
as percsve your keys. are here, shall
unlock these drawers, and see what suits
my purpose"
"Pray help yourself" replied the gen.
tleman, who was aware that he could do
nothing TO prevent him.
The rogue did SO accordingly. He fonnd
the plate in TIE sideboard, and many other
things that suited him and in ten minutes,
having made up his bundle, he made the
gentleman low bow, and decamped.
But the gentleman had the use OF his
hand, aud had not been idle. He had Ia
ken an exact likeness of the thief with the
pencil /; and on his servants returning soon
after. he dispatched him Immediately 10
Bow street, with the drawing and an ac-
count Of what had happened. The like.
ness was 80 good. that the man was imme-
dately identified BY the runners, aud was
captured before he had time to dispose Of :
single article. He was brought to the gen.
tlemsn two hours afterward, the prepert,
on him identified, sworn TO; aud in siz
weeks he was on his way TO Botany Bay.

have no half pence," reiterated the
lady, somewhat pettishly. Really" she
added, as the posr applicant turned meek
ly away, "this is verse than the streets Of
London; they should have police on the
shore to prevent annoyance"
They were the thoughtless dictates Of
the head.
Mamma" said a blue-eyed boy, who
was playing on the beach at the lady's feet,
Ringing pebbles into the sea, 81 wish you
had penny, for that poor woman dhes look
hungry, and you know that we are going 10
have nice dinner, and you have promised
me glass Of wine"
The heart of the lady answered the ap.
peal Of the child and with blush Of shame
crimsoning her cheek at the tacit reproof
his artless words conveyed, she .openedher
reticule, placed half a crown in his tiny
hand, and in another moment the boy was
bounding along The sand on his errand of
mercy.
In few NON ents he returned, his eyes
sparkling with delight, and his features
glowing with health and beauty.
"Oh! mamma. the poor woman was 50
thankful, she wanted to turn back, but
would not let her; and she said, /" God help
the noble lady, and you too. My children
will now have bread for two days, and we
shall go our way rejoicing"
The eyes Of the lady glistened as she
heard the recital of her child, and her heart
told her that its dictates bestowed plea
sure, the cold reasoning of the head could
never best0w.

misfortune sympathy not unsubstantial.
for he was to be forthwith provided with
new ship superior to the Alabama, and with
any number Of swords in place of the one
he threw into the sea rather than risk the
possibility Of having to surrender it. He
was the guest Of England" The Yankee
correspondent Of the New York Herald
growls over the manifest favor with which
Semmes is treated, and the determination
to put him afoat again speedily.
1t is said that our Secretary of the Navy
had given express orders to Capt. Semmes
not to fight, his business being OF more
useful nature, the destruction of Yankee
commerce. This is probably true, and it
was doubtless wrong to fight, but though
the judgment may condemn, the feelings
applaud the gallant spirit that would not
refuse dare.
IT will be seen that the Kearsage had
concealed ron-plating-a trick on par
with the coat of mail sometimes worn by
duelists. which is considered infamous all
the world over. Fayelterilk Observer.
