AN APOLOGUE —BY BARRY CORNWALL.
To liia eon, Wilhelm, fresh from college, nnd
proud of Im learninp, obtained from (ireok and
Roman wrilorn, the merchant Siugalhart related
the following story:
Two soldiers who hud been taken prisoners in
liaftlo. contrived, after a lonj slavery, to escape.
The elder of tho two, whose name was Plalotv,
had a mild and thoughtful nature. In the young
er, Ulric, appeared a mixture of boldness and vi
vacity, such us tuny be seen in garrison towna,
nnd such as (as ladies say) should belong to sol
diers.
There was nothing in common between tho two
men, save their common danger. This produced
a partial alliance of oflence and defence, between
them ; nnd on this subject they held occasional
conferences. Rut for the most part, they traveled
silently by each other’s side, or shared the fruit
and berries, and chance ears of rice or wilt! corn
which they discovered on their way.
They had to pass through strange countries, ns
yet scarcely guessed nt by geographers. They
beheld pa-tensive prairies which the buffalo liauult,
and trackless savannas wliero tho wild horse nnd
zebra enjoy boundless liberty. They penetrated
Ravage regions, where even man preys upon bis
fellow, and lands debatable anil arid deserts,
and rdiephetds. armed to the teeth, nvcr'ook their
lloclts, or whore roving bands settle for a time, but
h vc no permanent home. At lust, after many
days’ toil, they left a rich alluvial flat, where
they fur homo time, had been traveling, and began
toascend a bleak and in* untatmm* con .try which
appeared never to have been subject to the band
of mail. Tho snow (though it was almost Hum
mer) lay upon the higher peaks, whilst through
the passes, where their routl lay, fierce rain and
howling winds, kept up incessant clamor. It
was nearly night when they arrived at a spot some
what sheltered. Yel even there it was wild and
gloomy, without fruits and without flowers ; the
black pine-tree, together with scanty grasses and
a lew ears of shrunken corn, being all that re
deemed it from utter batrennesR. Fatigue was
stronger than hunger, and they slept.
In the morning, just as the turn began to throw
a cold light over the eastern mountains tho travel
ers awoke.
“1 In! what ia this?” inquired Ulric. Il was
loo plain. They were each bound fast to a rug
ged tree. “Wo are in the toils,” continued tho
speaker.
“Yes,” answered I’latow, “our strength of
mind which we discoursed upon so long yester
day has now an opportunity of showing itself.”
“Ah !” replied Ulric, “If I wore not ho hungry,
you would sec—”
At this moment a jounggiri, aix or seven years
o! ago, of tt rough but pleasant aspect, oamo
smiling towards ilium; she bore in her Imatla a
large howl of milk, and tinder her arm was a
a wrapper composed of stripes ol bark or lough
grua-, which bo.ng opened, displayed some largo
pieces of hurley bread.
“Kill! drink!” said aim ; and her orders were
obeyed with alacrity. Shu waited till they had
finished their meal, and then said, “My falho'
will come and judge you presently ; but don’t be
afraid, he is not so terrible as he looks; and with
these words situ left them.
il was ununxious moment. Platow auminnood
his resolution to bear the worst with calmness ;
and Ulric. whs inventing some ingenious falsehood
to excuse linnacll lor intruding within their host’s
very uninviting territory, when a loud rough
voice was heard nt a distance, and presently a
giant cf vasteiz*' walked sturdily towards them,
carrying in his hand a young pine, plucked up by
the roots.
“Wlmi have you come here for?” quoth he,
when he was clime to them. His voice sounded
like thunder. “Spouk! you are spies from the
plains. What ia it you want? Is not your land
l it enough, that you must come here and spy out
the poverty of my home? Will you steal the few
gouts that give food to mo and my children ?
Will you rob me of my little Jionrd of dry corn ?
This is the second time that you have cmio to
pilfer from me ; and now, villians, you shall die I”
“All, sir!” exclaimed Ulric—he could utter no
“We are poor travelers,” Haiti I’latow ; “and
were passing by accident through your country.
Our only wish is to reach, once more, the land
where we were born.”
“We will give you gold,” interrupted Ulric ;
and lie tendered ' "inc coins lor the giant’s accep-
tai cr, who looked contemptuously upon them.
“What btufl* is here?” quoth ho; and; whirled
the useless metal over a mountain summit Home
hundred feel high. “Do you think to bribe
me with dirt like this ? Oi what use is it to me?
Will it g.vc me food or clothing ? will it teach
“Wo will teach von wisdom,” joyfully cried
Ulric.
“III!” said the giant, “tlm', indeed, is some
thing. Come let iih begin!”
“Ulric, who belonged to several aociclics for
diffusing useful (and a little uhuIohs) knowledge,
and who out-talked every membor al the annua)
meetings of the philosophers, eagerly commenced.
“I shall first explain to yi
respecting mctcorolitics, or

“Tho whin /” cried the other angrily ; but re*
collecting himself, muttered aside, “I perceive that

“Well,” pursued Ulric, "if yon have no inter
est in that subject, I will show you how to unrol a
mummy.”
I’litt.iw smiled and explained the nature of
mummies, when the giant observed,“But we Imve
no inuttimies here !'
“Ulric admitted that this was an objection, nnd
said,-Then I will unfold to you the mystery of

“Well then, you know, by certain signs, how
long it will Iasi!”
“What is it you are about to disclose then?”
inquired the other, impatiently.
“I will show you bow storms are generated and
impelled through tho atmosphere, and how they
sometimes revolve or proceed in circles, and
how—”
“Dali!” exclaimed the giant; “all this is for
the people of the air.”
“It is really difficult to hit on a subject,” said
Ulric, now a little perplexed. At las-, a bright
thought suddenly illumined his countenance, and
he said—“I will explain to you tho theory of rent,
and almw you how tu hold a just balance be
tween tho manufacturing and the agricultural in*
termts.”
“Harkye,fellow !”suid the giant, now thoroughly
incensed,“yon are laughing at my ignorance.—
You wish mo to nail you against that rock, to
uivli dinner for the eagles ?”
Ulric protested quickly that, although self
generally below his thought, yet that such a mode
of proceedings would he particularly disagreeable
to him.
ilis host now assumed the interrogator. “You
appear to he a silly fellow,” eaid be ; “but I may
bo iniataken. 1 will, therefore, put a question or
two, to uHCoriniu the value of your accomplish-
merit*. Canyon wrestle with a bear?”
Ulric confessed tlmt ho could not, with any
prospect of success.
‘•Orcome close upon the chamois?”
“No.”
“< fr shoot dead a panther ?”
“Can you build your own house? or weave
your clothes or bed coverings from long grasses
or the barks of trees ?”
“No.”
“Can you choose tho best ears of corn,
sow them, and weed them, and water them, and
reap them, and grind them, and turn them into
bread ?”
“No—no—no.”
“Yet wo consider those things important in our
country,and even in yours thoy cannot bo entire
ly without use.”
Tho dialogue which wo havo endeavored thus
far to repeat, was extended to considerable length.
At the end of it the giant retired, saying that ho
should now take some rest, and that ho would de
termine on their fato in tho evening. Ilo left
them with a grim Hinilc upon his countenance.
Ulric’s spirt fell, and ho announced to his brother
prisoner that 0110 or both of them would, in all
probability, be conked for supper.
Alter the lapse of an hour or two, the little girl,
who had belorc brought them fond for their break
fast, wan aeon again coming towards them with
a supply for their noonday meal. By this time,
Ulric, after prodigious efforts, had contrived to
free himself from his bonds, and with his knife,
which he then was able to uiialinath, ho hud also
severed the bonds of his companion, whom he
was urging to escape. As soon as he saw the
child approaching, ho exclaimed—
•Hi! here is the monster’s cub again. She
will cry, nnd alarm the brute who keeps us here.
• tilth* r, young devil !’’ Haiti he, seizing tho
“Your lather has mado us sutler, and wo
will now give him something to remember
lie raised Iiih knife for a sacrifice.
^“Htop ! Il shall not bo so, Ulric,” cried Platow,
interposing; “you shall not kill the child. It has
not harmed iih.”
“It tdiall die cried,” the other furiously.
“It shall live!” said I’latow firmly. “I swear
that you shall not harm it. What ! did it not give
un milk this morning, and will you pay it hack
in blood at noon ?”
He spoke in vain. Ulric seized the child by
the throat. At that instant, a laugh that made tho
mountain ring, sounded close behind them. Tho
giant was there, lie held on high a mighty club,
wnich he brandished threateningly. A moment
more, and as it seemed, they would be smashed
into a jolly.
“*3*i, rascals! this is the way you pay me for
my milk and corn,” cried thnir floats. “Come,
let me hoc which I shall lull first. I la ! this is the
fattest.’’ And, with one hand, he seized Ulric hy
tlie waist, and turned him round curclcssly in tho
iih one would turn a rat. After satisfying
himself nH to his victim’s condition, ho tossed Inn
gei.tly down and said, “Now, villian! strip and
00 quirk. 1 can’t roast you with these rags on.
Bui first, havo you any thing to any why you
should not die? 1 will give you a fair trial.—
\ou have two minutes to make your defence.’
Ulric stammered out somn unintelligible words
in bis extremity ; but in tho end ho gave in, and
answered simply,“Nothing.”
J^'WoU,” said ihe giant, “that is good at least,
And you ?” he asked, addressing himself to i’la-
tow, who replied,
“I had your child in my power, nnd—I did not
kill her.”
“Kill her?” echoed the other. “What! kill a
child ! Is that what thoy teach ye to do in your
country ?”
“Well, thon,l saved her from death.”
“That’s better,” returned tlie oilier; “and for
that—mark ! 1 will spare you.”
“Ami my companion, too ?” aaid Platow.
“No; ho must die.”
“Spare him for tny sake,” urged Platow, again
“Tint giant looked gravely, but kindly upon him
and said : “for your sake ?—Well, I will spare
him too. And now, know, men, that I have iia*
toned to your talk. You have never been out of
my grasp; no. not for a moment. Had you harm
ed tny poor, sickly child, death, instantly, should
have been your fate. But one of yon
cilul—and mercy begets mercy. A good deed
should be returned two fold. And it is thus that
1 endeavor to repay one. Strangers
poor and wild people ; but wo have heads and
hearts, fashioned niter the same model
own. And wo wish, when you return to your rich
and pleasant country that you should bo aide to
say, that there is no spot, however savage, whe'r,
nu n may not leant something—no spot where hu
man gratitude dors not flourish, and where the
wisdom of kindness is not taught."
A few evenings afterwards, as tho soldiers,
well supplied with food, were traveling quietly to
wards their home, Ulric observed an unusual hU
Icncc. At length, he said to his companion, “1
havo been thinking that the giant’s heart—per
haps, his mind—was almost as large as his body.”
“I have thought so all along,” replied tho
other.
By this time they had reached their native land ;
nnd when they arrived nt t!io gates of the princi
pal city, Hapienz 1, they parted ; each taking Ills
way to his own home. Ilis said that the seeds
sown hy tlie mountain giant were not thrown
away, even on the rocky bosom of Ulric. lie
became a wiser and better man. In I’latow they
produced a less obvious benefit, the change within
him being less; but tho events of his journey
were ever afterwards gratefully remembered. And
when, in later years, his children clustered round
him, lie would often amuse and instruct them, on
summer evenings, by relating to them tho fruitful
lessons of wisdom which, in his youth, ho had
heard among the barren mountains.
The Lady and tho Robbers.
In a charming village, situated in a truly ro
mantic country, but a considerable distnneo from
the high road, was Baron li. accustomed to spend
the summer. Ilis mansion, built upon an eminence,
whs perfectly adapted to his fortune. It was a
spacious building, very elegant within and with
out, nnd exhibited a good style of architecture,
and it was about two hundred paces from the vil
lage.
Business obliged the baron to take a journey of
a few days. His wife, who was about twenty
years ofage, very beautiful, romalnrdat home.—
lie look with him two of his Horvauts, and tlie
other two were left with tho baronoss. No viola
tion of the public security had ever been heard of
in that part of the country, uml ns the baroness
did not belong to the timid portion of her sex, the
idea of danger w as fur from entering her mind.
Tho evening after tho baron’s departure, as sho
was stepping into bed, hIio heard an alarming noise
in mi apartment near her chamber. She called
out hut received no answer. The confusion and
screaming in reused every moment. Sho was at
a loss to conceive what was the matter, und hasti*
ly pulling on her garments, went to the door to
discover the cause. A horrid spectacle presented
itself! Her two servants, half miked, were ex
tended on the floor.
Tflo room wus full of strange looking men, the
baronoss’ chambermaid was kneeling before ono of
them, ami instead of mere, she implored, sho
ccived the fatal stroke. No sooner did tho door
open than two barbarians, with drawn Bwords.
rushed towards it. What woman, or oven mun v
would not havo been struck with the utmost terror,
and giving up lilo and everything as lost?
loud shriek of despair, a flight of a few paces would
probably have bee n't he last resort of many. The
baroness, however conducted herself in a different
manner.
“And you have come at last?” exclaimed she
w ith atone of beartlclt joy, and advancing towards
her ussuilsntH, with a haste that highly astonished
them ; they lowered their uplifted weapons.
“Arc you come at laat 7” re posted she. Such
visitors us you 1 have long wished to see.”
“ Wished l muttered ono of the assassins.—
“ What do you mean by that ? But stay ; I’ll—”
lie had already raised Ins cutlass, but a coin
radu averted the stroke. “ Stop a moment broth
cr,” said ho; “let us first hear what fihe would
have.”
“ Nothing but what is your pleasure,brave
rades. You are met) after ray own hearfo and
neither you nor I atyill, havo any reason to repent
it,if you will listenTor two minutes to what I
have to say.”
“ Speak! -peak !” cried the whole company.
“ But ho quick,” added one of the fiercest, for
wa shall rot make much ceremony.”
“ Nevertheless, I hope you may. You grant me
a bearing ? Know, then, that although I am the
wife of the richest gentleman In the country, yet
the wife of tlie tncRnest beggar cannot bo more
nappy than I am. My husband iaon<in r tHo moat
jenlnus and niggardly fellows on the earth, 1 |iato
him aa l hate tho \\ fins long been
the lervent wish of tny heart to got out of his
clutches and at the same time pay off old scores:
All my servants were his spies, and that fellow
w hose business you have done so completely was
liio worst of all. I am scarcely twenty, and, I
flatter myself far from being ugly. If any of yon
choose to take me along with you, I’ll accompany
you to the woods or to the village ale-house.—
Nor shall any of you have reason to repent spar
ing my life. Yon arc in a well stored mansion,
but it is impossible that yon should not be uenuaint-
ed with all its secret corners. These I will show
you nnd il l do not make you richer by six thou
sand dollars, then seive me ns you have my cham
bermaid.”
Robbers of this kind arc certainly villians, but,
nevertheless, they nro still men. The wholly un
expected tendency of tho baroness’ address, added
to the mure than ordinary hesti’y of the female,
altogether produced a powerful effect on men whose
hands weto yet reciting with blood. They all
then stepped aside nnd consulted together in a low
tone for aotno minutes. The baronoss was left
quite alone but she betrayed not tlie least wish to
escape. She heard two or three thus express
themselves, “ fuel’s despatch her and tho garno
will ho up.” She, however scarcely changed her
color, for the opposition of the others did not es
cape her acute ear. One, who waa probably tho
captain of the banditti, now advanced towards
her.
Ho asked twice or thrice whether he might rely
on the truth of what she said—whether she actu
ally wished to be released from the tyranny of her
husband and go with them, and whether eho was
ready to resign herself to one of them—himself,
for instance—during tho few peaceful days llu?y
could enjoy. Having replied in tho affirmative to
all these questions: having not only suffered tho
warm embrace of tho robber, but returned it (for
what uoccssily will excuse,) he at length aaid :
“Como along then; and lead us round. 'J,’ho
d -I trust you ladies of rank, but we ll ventqre
for once. But let inc tell you beforehand,
Von were twice as handsome us you are, this
weapon should cleave your ekuii tho moment we
naw tho least disposition to escape or betray ub.”
“ Then it will be safe enough ; and if this vvero
the only condition of tny being put to death, I
would out live you ail, and nvon the wandering Jew
himself.”
Tho baroness smiled when sho pronounced
these words, und hastily caught up the noarost
lamp as though tdio was as anxious as any of
them to collect the plunder and be gone, conduct
ed the whole company through every apartnipiR*
opened every door, every drawer ami ovory choj)t;
HHHiMcd in emptying them and packing up tho
valuables; looked with the Utmost indifference
over the mangled bodies; spoke with the familiar
ity of an old acquaintance to each ono of tho jjpf-
rid troop, and willingly aided with her delicate
hands in the most laborious occupation.
Flute, money, jewels and oilier valuables wero
now collected together; and tlie captain of tho
banditti was about giving the order for marching
when his destined bride caught him hy tho arnj,
“ Did I not tell you,” said she, “ that you would
not re|>ent making a friend of me ami sparing my
life. Yon may indeed have your fling in places
you find open but it ia a pity you cannot come at
treasures that are a little concealed. Do you
suppose that among coffers so full there aro no
secret places ? Look here and then you will bo
convinced to the contrary !”
She pointed to a secret spring in tho baron’s
writing dusk. They pressed it and out fell twolvo
hundred dollars.
“ Zounds !” cried the leader of tho robbers “now
l Bee you arc an incomparable woman, I will keep
you for this as a duchess.”
“ Ami perhaps better still,” she replied, laugh
ing, “ when I tell you of one thing more. 1 atn
well aware tlmt you must have had Hpies who in
formed you of tho absence of tny tyrant; but they
did not tell you of the four hundred guilders which
he received yesterday.”
“ Not a syllable. Where arc they ?”
“ O, safe enough under half a dozen locks and
bolts. You would certainly not have found them
nnd tho iron cheat had it not been forme. Como
along, comradoH. Wc have finisher! above stairs
now we’ll see whnt’s to he done under it. Como
along with me, I say, into the cellar.”
Tlie robbers followed, but not without precau
tion. At tho entrance of the cellar, provided with
a strong trap door, n man waa posted a* sentinel.
Thebaroneaa did not take the least notice of this.
She conducted tho whole troop to a vault; at tho
farthest extremity of this room stood the chest sho
find described. “Here,” said sho giving the cap
tain n hunch of keys ; “ here, unlock it nnd tako
what you can find na a wedding gift, if you can
obtain tho consent of year companions as readily
as you have gained mine!
The robber tried one key after another, but none
would fit. lie grow impatient, and tho baroness
seemed still more so.
“ I,cnd mo them," she said. “ I should find tho
way sooner. Indeed, if we don’t make haste tho
morning may overtake us. 11a! the reason why
neither or iih could unlock it ia because l have tlie
wrong bunch of keys. I'll soon obtain another.”
Sho ran up stairs, and presently they heard her
coming down, but she wont slowly aa if out of
breath with the haste ahe made. " I’ve found
them I” cried she, at a distance. She was with
in three steps of the person placed at tho entrance
of the cellar, when sho mado u spring at tho wretch
who as littlo expected the dissolution of tho world
as such an attack. A single push of her strength
tumbled him down the stairs from top to bottom.
In a twinkling she closed tlie trap door, bolted it,
and thus had the whole company secured in the
cellar. This was the work of a single moment.
In the next, sho flew across tho court yard, and
with a candle set tire to a detached pig style. The
watchman in the neighboring village perceiving
the flames, immediately gave tlio alarm. In a fow
minutes the inhabitants were out or llieir beds, and
a crowd of farmers and their servants hastened to
the mansion.
Tho baroness waited for them at the gate of the
court yard. “ A few of you,” said she, “ will bo
sufficient to put out this lire, or prevent it from
spreading. But now provide yourselves with
aruiH which you will find in nbundunco in my hus
band’s armory ; post yourselves at tho avenues of
the collar, and sufliT not one of the murderer* and
robbersshtit up in it to escape.”
Her directions wore observed, und not one of
them escaped the punishment due his crimes.
Sconoin the Hoots.
Tho bill establishing an assay office at New
York passed the House on (lie last night of the
session, by one vote. Whilst the votes wero be
ing counted, an ntnusing scene came off, which
is thus described in the l’hiladclphia North Amer
ican :
“ Whilst the count was going on, a certain
Pennsylvania,member, who had imbibed so freely
that lie fell extremely good-natured, and forgot
Ihat ho, as woll as the whole of your delegation,
were averse to tho New York project, entered
his seat, but continued standing, apparently try
ing to inako out, to his own satisfaction, whether
there were two speakers in tho chair, or only one.
Col. Floronco, who is always on tho look-out
when Pennsylvania matters are on the carpet,
haw that his colleague wan in imminent danger
of being counted in favor of New York, and rush
ed to the Ho.it of his Iriend. “ Sit down, my dear
„ir!— sit down!—don’t you »eo you’ll be count
ed ?” exclaimed Florence, frantically, at tho same
time trying to pull the delinquent down into hi*
chair. “Mind—your—own—business—Florence!
—(bic)—mind—your—own—business I" retort
ed*. “ Don’t you suppose 1 know what I’m do
ing ?” “Sit down, for (iod’s sake,*—yourcon-
Htiiuenls will ride you on a rail, if you give New
York the Mint by your vote I” “ Mint be cursed,
Fioronce! Don’t you know that mint ts out of
Huason now ?—mint bo cursed I—I’ll stand op a*
long as I like!” *’s stubbornees prevailed, and
the amendment prevailed also, for Florence, in
his eagerness to get his colleague down, forgot
that he was up himself, the consequence of which
