TIV SMILY’s VISIT TO HELL, Eight or ten years ago, there lived in the town of Castlocomore, ono Timothy Smily, the Proctor to tho Rector of the pnri-.li, the Rev. Henry Dawson. Tim was ns brawny and as strong built a customer as you’d see in aday’sride. IDs low-rugged forehead stood like a precipice over a frightful nmr of black bushy cyn-brows, or properly speaking, over one cte-brow, for both met so thickly ul tho ponl ’dappuiof his nasal organ, that it was im possible to distinguish any division between them : in short, they worn n must united eon. pie Tim’s “ cat’s eyes,” as they were called liy the country folks, were nlinnsl hidden hv the projection of Ids huge cheek bones, anil I.is Hi* iiohii whs scarcely disrrriiuhlo nliove I t- ireinctiduiis pair of Icutliern lips. Such was the outside of Tim's u .per story; lint in sav Hod's truth, he never prided himself much upon cither Ins Inrth or his beauty, fur the former of which ha held liin.self indebted to Ihe Marquis of Ormond's pig boy. Tim, how ever, distinguished himself in his generation by hunting down the rebels in ’!)8, and he was promoted, through tho interest of Lord Wnn- ilesford, to the tiilia proctor of tho parish of Casilecomer, in which capacity, many n lime end oft, lin taught the paiishoners how in endure ihe heart scaled. Indeed, so many and so atrocious were his persecutions in his vocation, thnt many of Ihe neighbors were re solved to match him the first opportunity that should offer. Tim being wliat you call n knowing one, nlwnys managed to baffle every scheme that was laid against him : however, the devil Imnself, they say, will Sometimes he caught napping; and so it fell nut hy Tim — One day. in the latter end of August, 1828, the Hector sent for our hero, uud commanded him in prneecil In the farm of one Dennis Conner Dolany, and seo that the corn was thrown nut according to the strict letter of tlm law. This wns quite to Tim’s taste, and ho undertook the task with considernldo alacrity and nlaasurn. Dennis alwnys hod the mime of being a good fellow in his own Iioiiso, and, to tell tho truth, Tim often acknowledged that lie had experienced tho hospitality of his fire rule, perhaps more for fear than love, hut wlml of thnt? To make a long story short, Tim • nggered off on his mission, “ns though he bad ihe half of Nowry with him, and lie soon arrived at the place of destination where Im met Dennis nt the barn gale, and lie wna duly Invited in, to partake of something before he wlmuhl commence tho labors of tho day. Tim declined the invitation with as much 'tnodosly ns a lithe proctor is rnpnblo of, aaying, would be lime enough when tho job was i ver.” “ Well, well,” said Dennis, “ us yon please and nut they went. After some preliminary ar rangements, and n good deal of squabbling about the proper girth of the lithe sltcnf, a day’s work was concluded, and Tim, ns wns customary, wns invited in to seo “ tlm mis tress,” and to partake of n bnltlo of tlm real tort. Tim growled assent liko any dog in office, and linving followed Dennis seated him self by tho *iro in n snug little room that ser ved ns bed chamber to the good man and his wife, and upon occasions as o kind of parlor to receive quality, whenever it should please Jupiter to send strangers, events, that liko an gels’ visits, were few and far between. Here Tim reg'M himself on soino pretty pickings from a well saved ham, a leg of mutton, some fat baron slumbering in greasy luxury upon a bolster of white cabbage, and a dish of laugh ing murphies, jumping nut of their skins When Tim had didy paid his respects to tho “templing repast.” as Dan Homer sings •"no where, •• rich libations of fuming poteen smoked upon the frugal Imnrd,” in nertar fit for the gods ’ycley’d whiskey pnnrh. Round followed round, until Tim commenced hum ming some doleful ditty, not unlike “ <Jnd •ave the King.” Dennis who was not an fait •t musical criticism, fancied Tim was giving them a stave of some pious hymn, and when It was over, look the liberty of asking his guest for a song. Tim’s thought* rushed back in stantly to the “ Heroes of other days ;’f an nf- ter a little delay, he struck up “The B„ V ne Water, while poor Dennis, a little mortified bung his head, but said nothing ; not to Mrs Delanv ; she, good soul, betrayed every , nn ! men! the utmost symptoms of dissatisfaction However, Tim was allowed to proceed with out interruption to the clone of his tong, when “ Well, whul’s the difference ?” “Difference!—Be gar! you ono Angtai- a couple ol hours after by Charley M’Dermot, I After supper, tlm guests could not refrain 'sho Americane, and you not de difference tell holler known l.y tho cognomen nf “ Royal I from expressing their astonishment.

Arrived at the mouth ol llm pit, u short whisper with llm engineer put the latter into possession of iho whole of his schemes, in a couple of seconds Tim ivus placed quite circuilhoughly in a coal bucket, and lowered to the bottom of tlm pit. As soon a9 tliu miners had got Tim below, limy placed him on a litter of straw, besido a bugo foninlo goat which was kept tlmro fur the purpose of giving milk to those who were in the habit of indulging in that fascinating lie- verngo, lea. The chronicles do.not say how long Tim enjoyed Ins nap in tbo lower region, but when ho awoke, nod looked around his dis mal abode,ho exclaimed in huwildored accents, “ Whethfcn ! where Iho blnzcs am I ?” mid af ter rubbing Ids eyes to look n little mure keenly through lim dnrk blitzo, to Ids horror be beheld ! n group of llm blurb boys moving about with lighted torches, in tlmir tmnds.— Again lie looked, and bclmld n tremendous fire blazed up nnd cast n flickering glaro on llm dark vault at a considerable disiam-o from where he lay. “ Yis, Yis I lie exclaimed slap ping Ins forehead with n conviction of Ids own deserts—"Yis, yis! it must Im Imll suro enough I" A pause of despair, und ha roso on Ids elbow—but, oh, Imrror of horrors, what must have been his feelings when he be hold Beelzebub Imnself, ns Im thought, close in his side! Up Im started on Ids feet, hut the goat, who Imd been well instructed in the “ kuonk’oni-down system,” guve Tiin such puck in tbo back premises, as sent him down twico as quick as ho had jumped up ! Poor Tim, no longer entertaining n doubt of his final exit, roured out lusiily, though in n suppltc lory voice, " Good devil! good devil! Imvo mercy on me; I am only pour Tim Smily, the tijlm proctor from Cnstlreomer in Ireland !” The gonl didn’t sav n word, but stood over him shaking her beard, and Hissing Imr horns. Tim el length conjectured that this was only n guard placed over Inin in tho infernal abode, Presently, a being in human shape approach ed turn with a lighted torch, and addressed hint m n “grnvo and hoarse voico,” like Lu ther’s devil, rnmiuanding who ho was ? “ Oh ” ejaculated “ Tim,” raising his Imnds, “ | was the Reverend Henry Dawson’s mho proctor in the other world ; hut rune, good devil.

This was immediately done. nnd Tim being carefully placed in a coal chu, which stood empty nt the mouth of tho pit, wgs soon brought to his own dour, where he whs given in charge of his poor wife. When Tim roco- vered, he found himself in tho arms of his bet- terhnlf, who had been ulmoai petrified at what she had witnessed. The good woman’s first inquiry of course wns whero he had been ?
