and slept sound. He was up with the lark
next mornin' and away out through the
fields. He searched the meadows till he
came on hare asleep, and, catching it,
he broke one of its legs and fetched it
home with him. The king sent out the two
horses, according to his promise. to plow
the tattie field, and he sent with them two
mel armed to the teeth, who had stbrict
ordhers that Jack Brogan would attempt
TO stale the horses out of the plow that
day, but they weren't to allow him on the
peril of their lives, but were to shoot him
If he thried; and If they allowed him to
stale the horses they would be hung to
the first bush themselves Well, of course
they had their eyes about them and plowed
and plowe1 away till evening and no sign
of Jack; so they agreed that Jack had too
much wit to run the risk of gettin shot,
that he had given up the thing in despair
and had gone and dhrowned himself. With
that they sees hare with a broken leg
coming over the ditch, and away iimpin'
across the field before them. Whrroo,
Both of them throws down their guns and
swords and afther that hare for bare life.
They didn't go far till they caught it. but
when they came back the horses were
gone, as clane as if they had nivver been
there and Jack was railroads to the
castle with them. He met the king at the
gate and handed him over his horses
We'll, Jack said the king-and T can
tell You he opened his eyes wide when he
sees Jack marchin' up to him with the
horses-well, Jack says he, we done
that clNerly, but them rascalS have
been too slack with ye, and I'll take We in
hands myself now. The second thing veil

We'll, says Jack. I'm do my best, and
sure ye know the best can do no more"
Then the king went off to ordher out his
soldiers to hang the two men, and away
went Jack home. and you may be sure his
father was proud to see him back safe, but
when Jack tould him the second thrial he
got down-hearted again, and said he'd sure
ly lose his boy this time
Jack said nothtn', but went to his bed and
slept sound that night again; and the next
night he went to the graveyard and dug up
fresh corp about the same age as him
self, and taking it home he dhressed it in a
shoot of his own clothes, and started for

graveyard"
"Oh, Jack, jack" says the king, lying
back in his bed again, you have thricked
me once more, But, plaise providence

Next day Jack came to the castle with

Chinese Parental Authority.

From the North China Herald.
A remarkable event has occurred at
Tsing-kiangpu. A man by the name of
King had a son who made his mother and
father lose face" because of the wild
rakish life he led. He gambled, loafed,
smoked opium, &c. If he stole his father
would be taken to the yamen and the
whole family would suffer for the sons
villainy, and the vital question was: How
could the family be protected? At last
they arrived at the conclusion that the only
way to protect the father and mother was
to take extreme measures with the son.
which they did with vengeance. The
father and uncle took him out among the
graves, followed by a crowd of curious
neighbors and friends, and, putting a rope
around mis- neck, each relation pulled on an
end, and the son was put beyond running
the family in this world.
