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 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.

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- 1 lence .Suizu n . lL th.s . f fellow, on.1 , throw , him . . 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 self in * 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 solely upon hitn.
