Tine Poacher's story

IT'S worse than gambling, sir,
and it beats drinking holler. Skit-
lies is enticing, but poaching is the
captain. Drop it, sir? | could
wipe otfmy score at the Growing
Tock easier than | could drop my
love of sport; and when | says that
says a good deal, for the landlord
swears | shall die in his debt; and
believe him. # a fellow takes to
poaching, he's done for as safe as
houses. I've been private sport
now for twenty year come Martin
mas, and I'm a bigger old sawney
than ever in the way Of liking it.
O, sartinly, some gives it up but
not without their eyes fairs 'em.
There's old Jacob Greene, the
blacksmith; he's retired good bit
now. lie do say it was because the
Methody man made him oneasy in
his mind and he's a deacon now,
and has had "a call" to preach.
But the truth is, the blinds have
got down, sir. He can't see it; aud
a good poacher must be able to hit
a black cat at forty yards on a dusky
night. Old Jacob Greene, sir, is
like Solomon, sir, when he got so
Old he couldn't enjoy himself the
mync as he used, said it was all
vanity and vexation Of spirit. No
doubt it is vexing when a fellow
tries to carry on tie old games and
can't.
How did | begin the game?
Well, it wur like this: At eigh-
teen | war in service with old Mas
ter Thuristoue at the Dove Holes,
and Will Oakley wur my fellow
servant A fine strapping fellow
war Will. Gole to America now.-
lie saved his money, sir, and !
spends mine that's the difference.

1T NEVER PAYS.

IL never pays to fret and growl
When fortune seems our toe
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the brayer blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom.
But yield the pay
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays to foster pride
And squander pride in show
For friends thus won are sure to run
In times of want or woe.
The noblest worth
Of alI0the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
And conscience clear,
A household dear,
And hands without a stain.
II never pays to hare foe,
Or cater to a frlend;
10 fawn and whine. much less repine,
10 borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe
For feuds and debts
And pampered pets.
Unbouuded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain.
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain. :.
A humble lot,
A cozy cot.
Have tempted even kings,
For stations high
That wealth will buy
Not Oft contentment brings.

it tdoesn't matter" says VIII. "You

put tie gun to his shoulder and
fred twice. In a minute the quiet
wood was in an uproar. Thou

the hens cried chorus. Blackbirds

tered like mad. | was scared al

the wood.
It wur a sight, sir, to see him

the hedges. l followed. Right
away from the hall we went, to-
wards a wood two miles off. As
we run we heard gates slam, and
the big hound had stopped barking;
SO we knew that the Squire's folks
was out, and that the dog wur loos-
ed. When we got to the other
wood, we wur dead.beat. wanted !
to go home, but Will wur in high |
spirits. and swore the game wur
only begun, and that he would have
those birds. The devil wurin him,
sur, and it would ha' been a bad
night for Tom Jarvis, the keeper, if |
he had come across us then. Well, |
sir, after we had rested and got |
wind, Will did the same trick again, |
and brought down two more pleas
ants. Then we run for home like
hares, and got in safe without see
ing anybody.
We played this game pretty Of
ten, and the village got into a reg
nlsr hubbub. The Squire swore
there wur some of the cunningest
thieves about the estate there ever
was, and thought we was a gang
that plotted to do business on differ
ent parts Of the preserves. The
first night we went out, old Jacob,
the smith, wur suspected; but the
old man knew we were out, and
had been cute enough to 60 on that
very night to a prayermeeting at a
chapel tour miles away, along with
one Of the Squire's woodmen, who
had also taken q pious turn, and
they two easily cleared one anoth-
er. But we got nabbed at last, sir;
for one night, when we come home
with the game, who did we find
waiting tor US in,the farmyard but
Tom Jarvis, the keeper, and his
man. They suspectedus, you know,
and as they couldn't catch Us, they

"Them birds, Rocks" s"-that's
my name, sir, you see-"them birds
is like many silly men; they won't
take a good thing when they has a
chance. There's pans full of tom.

they come dibbling in our field. !
WONDER" says he, considering a
minute or two, II wonder how they
would taste baked?"
| hadn't no notion and I said so.
Will sat twirling his billy-eock
slowly, and looking at the pheas-
ants.
81 was a-wondering why You and
me, Rocks, should have to sit in
the ditch eating barley-bread and
skim-dick, whilst Squire Dormer
eats pheasants and lives like a fight
mg-cock? Wild animals" says
Will, appointing across the field to
where the pheasants wur feeding,
and a stretching out his fingers like
the Methody man when he breaches
on the horse-block at the Growing
Cock-"wild animals was sent for
the service of men; they was give
to everybody, not to the Squire.
There's the book Of Genesis on that,
and parson can't deny it, though
he'd like to-"
"There's another :hing, too. #
you and me, Rocks, was to sneak
round the corner Of that wood, and
floor a couple of them birds with a
big hedge-stake, or if we was to
to shoot 'em at nights, the Justice
would lecture us like anythink, and
swear we was rogues and vaga-
bones. But if Squire and his lot
wur to make big bag, them very
Justices would say, what noble
sportSmen; what a love of sportp
Laws is rum things" says he, a.
scratching of his head, "and JUS
tices amt no better than they should
be-"
"Well, sir, | took up uncommon
raw agin the Squire, and Will soon
persuaded me to pitch into the
pheasants. He was mixed up with
a regular gang ofpoachers at Foose-
town, and easily got a gun, which
we used to hide in an old drain.
The first night we went out,
when we left our room over the
stables it was terrible dark. even
for country fellows that get used to
it. Will led me over the fields to
a wood right in front Of Squire'S
house. They called it the Belt, sir,
because it ran all round the home
PARK. A nice wood it wur. I,had
nested in it when a lad. There
wnr dozens OF squirrels in it. On
common cute animals they be, sir
brushes away the dry beech-leares
with their tails, and then turns 'em
round to pick up the nuts. Being
so near Squire'S house felt afraid,
and said SO, "Never you mind,"
says Will; "the keepers is away up
to the Asps spinneys, and we're as
safe here as if we was in heaven,
because they don't expect us.
lla'n't yon heard parson say how
we looks too high for things close

at the thought Of the parson. !

at the stables yelped as if he knew
we was there. The river washed

pits. | had no money, and couldn't
go.
How did | get ont of it, sir?
Well, master persuaded me to 90
to the hall to ak Squire's pardon.
Master went and told how Will
was a bad lad and led me on; and
that ] wouldn't do it again. The
Squire stormed and swore shock
ing; but he agreed to make it up
When it was all over, says | to
him, ave ought to have a drop Of
drink about this job, sir, seeing as
how it's all settled now; and q
mouthful Of bread and cheese
wouldn't be amiss either"
"Why, you impudent scamp
says he, "if you amt off sharp Pll
have you put in the stocks yet"
He went away and told his lady,
for | heard her a-laughing hearty,
and she come out into the passage,
and hollered out to the footman,
"Slater," says she, "give that man
as much as he can eat and drink"
And he did,. too; and didn't make
a bad day, for snare that l set a
going home agin had a hare in that
night.
It's easy enough to dispose of the
game, sir, provided you deals with
a respectable man. The little
hucksters will make their own terms
as to price, or else they'll split on
you; so its better to 90 to an hon
est man at once. My man, Mr..
Crouch, keeps the biggest shop in
FooSetown, and deals with all the
gentry. A very tidy man, sir, but
a bit added about old pictcrs and
crockery-ware. Says he to me one
day a-sitting in his parlor, a-drink-
ing a drop of sherry wine, <'Mr.

so dark that | could hardly see it,

tanned a quotation from the Morristown

me with surprise. 1t is as follows:

past that the dissatisfaction towards
Judge Gillenwaters' otileialconduct was
becoming more AID more marked and
open. Itiis not confined to the bar, but
litigants and those who are thrown IN
occasional contact with him, irrespec-
tive of party are free in their open con
demnation Of his judicial conduct"
l cannot conceive Of any cause
whatever for such an expression Of
opinion as is, contained in the .Gazete's
article.
On the contrary ! believe that the
body Of the bar are decidedly more
satisfied with Judge Gillenwaters'
course lattcrly than they have been
heretofore. And that instead of 0
growing dissatisfaction toward him, or
the part of the bar he is now held il
higher esteem by them than at any
