VUE ROOD OLD TIMES’
Old Peter Piper lived in an old-fash¬
ioned house, which had seen ever so
many generations of Pipers. His princi¬
pal business was to tolXr of the ‘good
old times.’ Ho detested everything new
—all new notions, all reforms, all im¬
provements, all inventions. He treas¬
ured up every instance of crime, every
record of villainy which lie could find in
the newspapers, as another pr >of of the
degeneracy of the uge which he was al¬
ways reviling. m
One day some neighbor said to him,
‘It is a pity, Mr. Piper, that you had not
lived in the good old times of which you
arc so fond.’
.‘I wish with all my heart 1 could
move back into them answered Piper*
‘I would exchange all your discoveries
and inventions, your equal rights, and
your new-fangled government, for the
simplicity and quiet of those times in
which people were ci ntent to be ns wise
as their fathers.*
IJow their arecerluin moments in ev
ery life in which, if you wish strongly
enough, you will get your wish. Piper
must have spoken as above on one of
these critical moments, for he work on
the following morning in the good old
times.
Piper’s attention was first attract¬
ed by the singular look of his apart¬
ment’
Ho had gone to bed in a room luxuri¬
ously carpeted, and furnished with all
the modem conveniences. i he first
thing that the next, the fact t hat d ro^jv
of water (it happened to be wtrffbg with
out) were trickling down on his nose.
He got up aud looked around lor his
bath-room door* Not only was that
gone but he could fitio no washing cun
veniences ; and looking out of a win¬
dow, he saw various members of his
family shivering about a spring, in
which they seemed to he performing
their ablutions. Hi 8 attention was next
attracted by his clothes. Where he
had left his gray wig, coat, vest, aud
panualoous, and the other articles of his
wouriog apparel, hung a barbarous-look¬
ing tunic of green, faced with fur, a
sort of scarlet tight-fitting vest, scarlet
leggings, which did not reach to the
knee, and sandals fastened with golden
clasps. Fancy old Peter Piper in such
a rig as this ; but what else could he do
but wear them 1 Search as he might,
his other clothes had vanished, and were
not to be found. Old Piper might be
ever so conscious that ho looked a Guy,
and that ho was uncomfortably cold a
bout the legs, there was nothing to do
hut to weur them.
By the time that he had fairly resign¬
ed himself to wear these disagreeable
garments it was late in the morning,
and old Piper was hungry ; so he made
up his mind to descend, though feeling
ridiculous enough, to the lower part ol
the house. Here, iiowever, he found no
perparatiorM for breakfast; instead, his
servants stood whispering together in
the hall.
•How now, knaves/* exclaimed old
Piper, or rather something exclaimed
him ; *no breakfast ! Why are ye loit
eriug here, and ye stir not the quicker T
i will make my riding-wand acquainted
with your ears !’
Please to observe that old Piper, was
not at all responsible tor this style of
language, he was obliged to accept
his sentences a* he was his clothes.
•Mairy, your worship,’ answered one
ul the servants, here have been other
! things besides eating und drinking. The
wild Squire of Hamilton has been down

died men. and burn your house over
your head, unless you nay him, all the
sooner, a thousand gold pieces, with a
promise to pay as much more in three
months fro 11 this time ’
‘Good heavens !’ cried old Piper,
shaking in his sandals; “I will have
him bound over to keep the peace.’
‘You had best compromise, the matter
with him,’ suggested another servant.
‘He is cousin to Jim Muggins, called
the Long Lance, who uever rides with
less than five hudnred spears at his back
and they would make 110 more bones
of pouncing on us here, and driving us
out with fire and sword, than I would
of eai ing a chicken for breakfast, by the
same token that I am fasting from all but
sin.’
Old Piper began to feel overpowered.
The strange dresses and the stranger
lingo were almost too much for him,
especially since he received it all on an
empty stomach.
•We must get out of this,’ he said,
feebly. ‘I will take the first train for
any place where Jack and Jim Muggins
arc not riding about, with spears at their
back.*
‘Where would you got’ returned the
domestic, with a melancholy shake of
the head. ‘You cunot ride through the
forest with less that five hundred men ;
for they say Robin Hood is up with his
men, and there is a green tunic and a
long bow behind every bush and unner
every leaf; and there are the Knight
Templars who would offer you protec¬
tion, and serv you worse than Jack
Mugginsjaud there is the Baron Pound
of.Beef, who would pounce upon you as
a hawk on a diickcn, and never release
you from his wettest, greenest, nastiest,
darkest dungeon, till you had handed
over ull the money you Imve ; and grat¬
ing you escape all these perils, to whom
would you appeal for help ? King John
won’t help you against the Mugginses,
for if Richard comes to his own again
there will be It it work, and John will
press everA’ spear into his service. And
there is talk, too, of a war with France,
in which case the country will
burned, and r av»Kv. ou
will Jump from the frying-pan into ^he
fire.'
‘I will write to the—the government
about it,’ cried old Piper.. ‘It is shame¬
ful scandalous.’
‘And who will bear your Message ?’
asked the servant.* Men are not made of
steel, nor do they bear charmed lives, to
run safe through such perils as we talk
jf ; aud in the months before we could
gut thu answer. Jack Muggins
Long Jim may hang us twiceover ifthey
choose.’
‘But what right has the murdering
rascal to come here .and demand my
money !’ cried old Pijier. ‘lie ought to
be sent to jail. I will write to the pa¬
pers about it.’
Just then a tall, stern-looking war¬
rior rode up to the gate, followed by
a dozeu rascally-looking men.
‘Dog!’thundered the man at old Pi¬
per, ‘off with y**ur cap.’ And then, as
old Piper stood still- ‘Take that, and
learn another time to uubonnet before
the lord of Mortier.’
* Fliat’ was si tremendous blow, which
ought to have killed Piper, and which
folbnl him fiat to the earth. He was on
his feet again iu u moment.
•Wluit was that for r aai.l ol.l l>im*r,
tryn.g . to wipe . the , blood , , , Iron, his . •
eyes.
‘Be silent, churl f answered the ami
able lord of Mort cr* ‘Know that I saw
yesterday in thy stables such a horse as
no churl should ride. It dogs like you
were to be kept uncer the loot, as in
the goo i old times, mu shoule hear less
of the evil times ; hut when baseborn
churls rid** horses fit for nobles, and live
ti. I.«mm like thw. th.-y grow

Send him to my stables, or abide the
cosequences.
‘But the horse is mine, argued Piper;
I bought him.’
‘Slave, nothing is thine. Thou and
thy fellows live ordy because we have
need of thee. But a truce to this inso-

into the dungeon where I had the Jew ;
and hark ye, pull out one of his teeth
every day till he yields. If he is refrac
tory, after he has lost them, try the bra
sier.’
Two from their horses, ,„„ #
men sprang
and approached the unhappy Piper, who
threw himself on his knees.
‘My lord,’ he exclaimed, ‘Show iner
cy’ as you desire to receive it. The
horse is thine, and whatever else thou
mnyst also desire.’
‘I thought that wo should find you
tractable.’ answered the lord of Mortier,
with a villianous smile. -Sac that the
horse is in my 8‘ables to- lay ; and hark
ye send with him a bag containing
hundred gold nieces. I have ueec
moneys.’
Piper stood mute, too overwhelmed
to spea&, till the Lord Mortier aud his
followers were out of sight, then turn
ing fo his frightened domestics, he ex
claimed, ‘Oh, hang such good old times /
and woke «p glad enough to find him

What Napoleon May Do.-In nny
case, Napoleon by withdrawing from
the scene, would put the question to
the test whether or not the war hinges

most favorable termination to Ids rule

he did not make this crisis, it is all the
more reason why h** should not attempt
