the first thing he saw was a silk pul
picked it up and fotmd it full of gold. Qinck
as thought he put on his hat again and ran
from the shop. He reached the hotel but the
stage had gone and the old titan had gone in it
So the cobbler retilencd to his cot and there
sat downwith the purse in his hand.
“What shall we do with it ?” he said nneasi
!y.
The wife pondered a long while—
“Let’s take it down cellar and hide it Then
we shan't tie robltcd of it nor we shan’t lose
it; and when he mmes we shall have it for
him.”
“But supposing he should never come, Hcp-
py?”
"Then wo will leave it for our children, and
they may use it"
So they went down into their narrow cellar,
and having looked all around, they finally re
moved a stone from the wall, put the purse in,
having first rolled-it up in many thicknesses of
stout paper—and then put the stone back as it
was .before.
On the following .lay the cobler watched for
the stage, and when it came he went up to see
if tlte old gentleman had come back. This he
did every day for two months, and no old man
came.
At the cud of tliat time, Jareb was taken sick,
and for a long time the doctor despaired of bis
life. And Jareb was very poor, too. Many
night the diildren went supperiess to bed.
" Jareb,” whispered Ileppy, with frightened
look, “there is gold in the cellar!”
“Don’t, don’t! Oh never speak of it again!'
gasped Jareh in agony. ‘ I’ve thought of it
Ay—there’s gold there; hut ’tisn’t ours, tisn’t
ours. Heppy."
“I didn’t mean we'd take it, Jareh; I didn’t
mean we’d take it!' cried the wife. “I only
thought you musn’t die!’’
I shan’t die, soul’s delight But I should die
if we took tliat! ’Tisn’t ours, Heppy!”
After many days, Jercb Gropp was able to
walk out. < )nc pjeasr nt autumn day, as lie hob
bled along upon a cruxh and a stalk he saw the
stage coach coming. It passed him, and he
saw tliat same white haired man ui>on the box
with the driver. The poor coblcr hurried on,
and when he rcachec the tavern he found the
old man standing in t ie hall.
“Ah, this is the merry coblcr!" cried the
stranger.
“1 am the cobier who mended your boot last
pring,” replied Jareb.
"Yes; I know,” replied the old man; “and
the stage driver tells me you have lfeen very
sick."
‘ijmve liccn sicl, sir. Ah, ! was made
nervous first, ami then caught cold. Yes, I've
been very sick.”
“The driver tells’ me your family suffered
much during your illness.”
“Some, some, sir. But tliat isn’t the thing,
now. Didn't you lwe something the day you
came to my shop ?”
“Lose!” repeated the old man, starting.
“Did you find anything ?”
"Y'cs, sir."
“Was it a purse ?’’
“Yes, sir.”
“A green silk ?”
“Ves, sir."
"With fifty gold guineas in it?”
"I don't know wlat was in-ft. I found it,
anil if you will go down with me, you shall
have it.
The stranger regarik-iHhc colder for some mo
ment in silence, and finally said he would go.
So Jareb led the way to his littio cot
“Here, my love, said the coblcr, addressing
his wife, ‘let us have a candle,—the gentleman
has come for his puise."
"We haven't got a candle, Jnrcb, hut I hav
something tliat will answer.”
Ami thus speaking, Heppy went out and
when she returned she brought a pine knot,
which she lighted by a fire. Jareb took this
anil turned towards the cellar, and the stranger
followed him.
i ran get it, sir.”
“< io on—I'll follow you.”
The coblcr said no more, but hobbled down
the mu-row stairs, and when he caiue to that
part of the wall where the purse had been com
cealed, he asked his companion to the torch.
The latter did so. and then Jareb remover!
the stone and drew forth a paper ]mrccl, all
damp and mildewed. They returned to the up
per room, where Jareb unfolded the stout pa
pers, and produced the purse uninjured.
“Here, sir, here is your purse, just as I found
it."
The old man emptied out the broad gold pie
ces and counted them—-just fifty of them. He
returned them to his purse and then looked into
Jareb's face.
“Have you suffered for wantof money during
your sicknness ?’’ he asked.
“Much, much," was the answer.
“And you lial this gold by you all the
while ?”
"It wasn’t ours, sir. Oh, I may have suffer-
cd, but not as I w mid have suffered had I taken
that. It wasn't mine, it was yours—Jareb
Gropp and his seven children, and his own
wife, you’ll say they weren’t very lamed, but
yoii’ll say they were honest”
Gropp? Gropp! Gropp? repeated the
old man fixing lus gaze, not upon Jareb, but
upon his wife, '“Y'ou are not from England, are
you ?”
“Y’es, sir.” answered the cobbler.
“From wliat part!”
“From Darentiy, among the hills of North
ampton.”
And what was your name before you were
married ?” the old man asked of the good
wife.
My maiden name was Iiepsabath Munson,
sir."
“Were you from Davcntry ?”
“No, sir. 1 was from Hibworth, Leceis-
ter. I went to Davcntry to live when I was six
teen.”
Tou never had a brother ?"
'Y’es, sir. 1 had one—George—lie went
off to India; and there ho died! Boor George!
Ho was a good boy—he was very good to
me. He was a smart young man when he went
away." _
“Hour do you know ho is dead r*
"Because we never heard from him, sir.
"Hopscbath, cried the old man, starting to his
feet, “Look at inc! Look at me I say! See if
you can tell me who I am! I remember now
of my hearing that you married a man named
Gropp; hut 1 couldn’t find where you had
moved. I was negligent—very. But say, do
you know me ?”
“It ain’t George Munson?” grasped Heppy,
starting from her chair, and trcmhling like an
aspen.
“Look althat purse! Did you sec that name!
And as tiic old mnn spoke he showed her a
name worked in golden thread, but which
she had not detected. But she read it now—
George Munson.
Then she looked into the time-worn face,
and gradually the features of one who had
lived in years long agonc were revealed to her.
It was her brotlier—-her own dear brother
George. ■
Presently Jareb Grobb left his wife in the
old man's anus, and with one hound he reached
the middle of the door. ”
“There," lie cried—“now see! Supposm Id
taken tliat gold! If I had we’d never have
known George Munson. I tell ye, there’s al
ways a sunlieain sure to fidl upon a good action.
It’ll outnc some time, ye may depend. Georoe,
how d’e do. Aint 1 glad now that we didn t
touch your gold r llow could I ever have look
ed my delight’s brother in the lace after it?
Ilow-d’c do, how d’e do!”
The last half of this speech had been made
with the old man’s hands in his grasp; for even
then the thotighthad not workeditsclf in Jarcbs
honest mind that any pecuniary good was to
grow out of this.
But it was indeed Heppy’s own brother, and
one of the chief objeth he had in view when lie
first set out on his travels mis to his sister,
if lmsaihle. lie had forgotten bar husbands
name, having heard it but once in India, ana
then only casually in conversation with a man
who bad just conic out The old was rich;
and now he had found the only living rdntive
he had on earth, he resolved to settle down with
hC I; large house on a licautiful cmim-iuv, the
wealthy "owner of which had died, wasforsalc,
nml Uncle George bought it, and thither be
took his sister's family. And in after times there
was some great doings in that large house. The
little Gropps had a competent teacher, and they
became prodigies ofleaming. Jareh was utterly
astonished at the wondcrc.us intellect thev dis
played.
But the balance was kept up. As the little
ones became more and more advanced, and
threw off childish ways, Jareb and Uncle George
put them on, and liccame children themselves.
One day tbe two old men were caught in the act
of jumping leap-frog over each others shoulders,
and had not Heppy came out and stopped
them, there is no knowing how many neck.;
might have been broken. It was fortunate for
them that the good dame retained all her strong
sense, for there were many seasons when in the
height of their childish joy, they might have
done mischief, had she not been ever near to
watch over and protect them ; and once, (I have
it from good authority,) when she caught them
wrestling “at “sidehug’’ she took them by the
cars and led them into the house.
But they had to indulge in rough sports some
times, for as Uncle George had suddenly become
thawed out from the ice of misanthropy and
as Jareb had full as suddenly been lifted up from
the dark depths of poverty and want, they
found thcsclvcs moved hy a spirit of joy and
would’nt be cured. So Heppy had to watch them
until some of the children became old enough to
reason with the girls in the house, and let the
boys take care of tho boys out of doors.

Oramliua Hunter’s Story.
BY MBS. M. E. SI. SANUSTEK.
Grandma Hunter sat by the window knitting.
She was busily working at the stocking, but I
knew by the dreamy expression of her eyes,
and tbe tremulous motion about her lips, that
her mind bad wandered backwards to the green
pastures of her happy youth. Y'ears had stol
en over her so softly that much of beauty yet
lingered on her smooth brow, and in the thick,
silvery hair that was to her a crown of glory.
A singularly cheerful and elastic disposition
had borne her up under the pressure of many
sorrows, and at seventy her buoyancy of
spirit drew the young around her, and made
her a connecting link between tbe past and tbe
present.
I passed two or tbroe times nndcr the win
dow, hoping that grandma would call me in
and tell me some story of her youth. But I
could not gain her attention. A new thought
struck me, and away I flew to tbe apple-bin
and selected a large pippin, which I carried as
an apology for my abrupt interruption of
grandma’s reflections. Slightly tapping nt
the door, I opened it, and approaching her,
gave her a kiss and presented my gift.
“Thank you, Phebe,” said she; "you have
brought me n favorite present; a great rosy
apple was the talisman that changed my
whole life. .
‘Tell me about it,” I pleaded.
‘Get your sewing, then, child, and sit down
here at my feet, and I will gratify you.
Many years ago my home was in a beautiful
spot in KDgland. My father was a farmer, and
my earliest remembrance of childhood is that
of being lifted up in his arms and placed upon
the back of a horse, where he held me securely
while we went around tbe door yr d. My
mother was a delicate woman, very fragile and
fair. Her name was Eliza, but my father al
ways called her Lilly. She died when 1 was
in my sixteenth year, and from that time I
was sole mistress of the mansion, moving about
in my motber’s vacant place, and striving with
all my might to imitate her orderly ways and
gentle manners.
“Four vears tbe sod had been lying over my
mother when my father brought a youug wife
to our home. She was amiable and pleasant
looking, with a pretty face and winning voice.
I had no jealous dislike of a step mother, and
would uot have murmured bad the second wife
been in ago and dignity tbe fit successor of the
first; but it grated harshly against my feelings
to see my stately father, whose brown hair
was thickly sprinkled with gray, taking one
to himself for a wife who might easily have
been bis daughter.
“I had u cousin in America, and to her hospi
table home I bad resolved to go. My father gave
his consent, and every preparation having been
made, three months after his marriage I bade
farewell to my home, and joined a party of
friends who were migrating. It was a beau
tiful day in June when our vessel glided from
her moorings and set out on her long journey.
\Vc were thirty days upon the sea, and then
our eyes and hearts were delighted by the
sight of the green shores of America, which
we hailed as joyfully as the children of Israel
welcomed the promised land.
“Friends were waiting to receive and con
duct me to my home, and for a little while my
new life was spent in such peace tliat it seem
ed as if I were in Eden. At the end of a year
my cousin Helen died, and though her bus
band entreated me to remain and take care of
his little motherless children, I knew it would
be better for me to go. I went to tbe nearest
city .New York, and obtained employment as a
seamstress and embroiderer.—Several wealthy
families gave me constant work, uud paid me
liberally. ,
I procured a boarding place with a widow who
received a limited number of young girls roto
her family, aud for some time my life glided
along smoothly and pleasantly.
•‘In the summer 1 went to see a frieud,
whose home was near my cousin’s residence.
Walking one day in the woods behiud her
bouse, my thoughts busy with my English
buine, from which I had just received a letter,
I was somewhat surprised at the fall of a beau
tiful apple directly at my feet. I looked in
vain to find the author ot its descent; no per
son was near, and Imviug peered though the
trees on every side of me, I picked up the ap
ple and hurried to my friend.
“She laughedat my adventure, and said
that the forests were haunted, and that fairies
sometimes dropped favors to maidens ns they
walked under the green branches. _ This reply
did not satisfy me, however, and I walked in
the several days, bopiug for a solution of the
mystery—The day previous to my return was
Sabbath, and I went to church determined to
scan the faces of my village admirers, and
know who had sent the wonderful apple. All
looked perfectly innocent, however, and I had
dismissed the subject from my mind, and pre
pared to give heed to the words of the preach
er, when my attention was diverted by the en
trance of a stranger. He was tall and slen
der, like a young willow tree.—His face was
laic, his forehead high and intellectual, and
lis dark eyes seemed to have so mourtiful
an expression that I was interested in him di-
Wheii service was over I was introduced to
him by afriend. His name was Ephraim Con-
ant, and in a moment I hail appropriaed him
as my Brownie. I was mistaken, however.
He bad arrived at Briarville only the night pre
vious, paused to spend the Sabbath there, and
left on the following morning. I never saw
him again, and should probably have forgotten
all about him but for the apple.
“I left Briarville the next morning and for
tho next few weeks was too much engaged with
my sewing to think of anything removed from
my immediate aphere. Miss llomaut, a fash
ionable youug lady moviug among the wealthy
classes, was to be married shortly, and I was
embroidering her wedding dress. It was very
delicate and intricate work—bunches of roses
and twiuing leaves from tbe waist to tho bot
tom of the skirt. In those days the dresses of
ladies were very narrow, three breadths being
considered abundaut, while the sleeves were
ery large aud full.
“As 1 said. .Miss Komont’s dress was very
fatiguing work, and occupied ail my time for
months. When it liccame too dark to aee, I
used to slip on my hat and shawl and run
out for a walk. Sometimes I went quite a dis
tancc in order to get tho fresh air. and driv
away the headache.
“One night, alter slaying somewhat later
than usual, I returned home and found to my
surprise, a letter directed to uie. It was not
from England, and a glance convinced me that
tin- writing was that of a stranger. I opened
it and read a few words, as near as I can re
member, like these :
“Miss Ellex Llotb : If you would like

“There was no signature. Prudeuce would
have bidden me stay at home and take no no
tice of the communication, but I was a true
daughter of Eve. and very courageous, so I re
solved to go. YVith quick foot and a slightly
trembling heart I reached the appointed place.
From the shadow of the church a young man
stepped forth to meet me, shook hands, and
stud,
“Miss Lloyd, I thank you much for coming
here. It was more than I could expect; but I
hope I shall give you no reason to regret it.
My name is Francis Hunter and I have seen
you frequently, both here and at Briarville.”
“Where you tossed me apples from the
green boughs last summer ?”
“Y’es,” said he.”
“And was that the way you first met grand
pa ?” I inquired, my mouth and eyes wide
epen with surprise.
“That was the way. Phebe. He walked
home with me that evening and called upon
me soon afterwards. We became better
friends, day by day, and about a year after
that he persuaded me to leave embroidering
for other ladies, and make a beautiful wedding
dress for myself. Soon after that we were
married, and came to live in this very’house
where I am now. in my old age, and where I
lived happily until your dear grandpa died.
I have spent five louely years without him. and
now am waiting uolil the summons comes to
call me to meet him in heaven.”
Grandma Hunter now put down her knitting,
wiped her spectacles, and asked me to hand her
the old Family Bible. I did so and left her
by the window.

Battle of Dunbar.
The spot on which Oliver drew up his little
army was a small, narrow tongue of land run
ning out into the Firth of Forth, high and bleak,
near where it joined the main land, and over
looking, on either side, tbe restless ocean.
The town of Dnnbar wps behind him—a single
mansion, Brocksmouth House, faced his extreme
left,—else there was not a covering on the des
olate expanse, save one, bat into which the
cannons were carried, to shelter them from the
rain which fell in torrents.
On this bleak and narrow peniusula, only a
mile and a half wide at its base, behold the
hite tents of Cromwell’s army. In front of
him, landward, is a desolate impassable moor,
with a low ridge of hills beyond on which stands
the Scotch army, twenty-three thousand in
number. At the base of these runs a small
streamlet, forty feet wide aud almost as many
deep; furnishing only two passes over which
troops can march. 'Cromwell’s ships are in
the offing, his now last remaining resource,
the lion, is at length caught, and tbe prey
deemed, secure.
On the second of September, Oliver looks
forth from the desolate heath on which his ar
my is drawn up iu order of battle, and lo! what
a sight meets bis gaze. Behiud him is the sea
swept by a strong wind, and before him, block
ing nirn in from shore to shore, a cho en army
out-numbering his own two to one. The white
teuta that are sprinkled over this low peoiusu-
la rock to rod fro in the storm of sleet and
hail; and darkness and gloom hang over tbe
Puritan host. This strip of land is all that
he has left iu Scotland, while a powerful army
stands ready to sweep him into tbe sea. But
it is in circumstances like these that his char
acter sbiues forth with greatest splendor.—
Though his overthrow secuis certain, lie exhib
its no discouragement or fear, for “he was a
strong man in the dark perils of war ; in the
high places of the field hope shone in him like
a pillar of fire, wbcu it hud gone out in all oth
ers.”
At four o'clock that evening, as he was
watching tbe enemy's movements through his
'lass, be saw that the Scotch commander was
iringing the whole army from the hill down to
the brook at its base, to be ready the next day
to commence the assault. In this movement
his quick eye detected an error, which, like
Bonaparte, he determined to avail himself of.
Lcsly, in executing his manoeuvre, had pack
ed his body into a narrow space, where it could
uot easily deploy, while the entire right wing
stretched into the plaiu. Cromwell saw that
if he could rout this wing, and roll it bnck iu
disorder upou tbe unwieldly mass, before it
could draw up in order of battle in the open
ground, victory would be sure. That night,
therefore, his twelve thousand men were plac
ed in battle array, with nothing white about
them to show conspiciously iu the dusky twi
light, and with orders, as soon as the morniug’s
dawn, to fall on the enemy. All night long
the drenched army stood without a tent to
cover them, in the cold storm ; while the moan
of the sea, as it rolled heavily on the beach
seemed chanting a requiem, beforehand, for
the dead that should cumber the field. But
amid the shriek of tbe blast, aud tbe steady
roar of the water, the voice of prayer was heard
along the hues, nnd many a brave heart that
before another night should beat no more,
poured forth its earnest supplications to the
God of battles.
Towards morning the clouds broke away
and tbe moon shone dimly down upon the si
lent host. Cromwell, who had been intently
watching the enemy’s motions, now saw a col
umn moving down the southern pass ; aud lift
ing up his arm. exclaimed, “Tne Lord hath
delivered them into our bands !” The trum
pets then sounded the charge, the artillery
opened their fire, while, louder than all rang
the shouts—“The Lord of Hosts ! the Lord of
II<¥ta!” and the iufantry aud tbe cavalry
poured in one wild torrent together on the en
emy. The first division of the foot recoiled,
when Cromwell ordered up his own regiment
which with levelled pikes pressed sternly for
ward amid the carnage, bearing down all op
position. At that moment tbe cavalry came
thundering on; the Scotch paused iu terror;
the next moment the clattering tempest was
upon them. Over the brook and over the hos
tile ranks they went, tramping down the sturdy
battalions like grass beneath their feet, and
bearing three thousand souls to tbe next world
in their fierce passage. In the midst of this
terrible charge, on which Cromwell's eye res
ted with the deepest anxiety, the sun rose over
the naked bills, and straggling through the
mist that was gently moving away from the
battle-field, sent his level beams athwart the
commingling hosts.
So did the son rise on Napoleon at Borodino,
he stood and surveyed the field ou which
two hundred and sixty thousand men were
moving to battle, and the sublime expression
burst fiom his lips, “Behold the sun of Aus-
terlitz!” But Cromwell, carried away by a
higher sentiment than glory, gave vent to his
emotion in'sublimcr language. As the blaz
ing fire-ball rolled slowly into view, and
poured its light over the scene, he burst forth,
Let God arise and let his enemies be scatter
ed!” Ay, and they were scattered. The right
wing broken and disordered, was rolled in a
confused mass upon the main body of the ar
my ; and the panic spreading, these twenty
tbousaud men became a cloud of fugitives,
sweeping hither and thither over the field.
At the base of Doon Hill, on which the ene
my had been encamped, Cromwell ordered a
general halt; aud while the horse could be rai
led for the chase, bade the army sing the
hundred and seventeenth Psalm at tbe foot of
Doon Hill; “there wc uplift it to the tune of
Banger, or some still higher score, and roll it
strong and great against the sky.” As the
mighty anthem died away on the field, the
shout of battle was again beard; aud tbe fierce
cavalry drove amid the broken ranks, riding
down tbe fugitives aud sabring them without
mercy, till tbe ground was covered with the
dead.
Three thousand were slain and ten thousand
taken prisoners; while fifteen thousand stands
of arms, two hundreds stands of colors, and
twenty seven cannon, remained as spoils to tbe
victors. It was an utter rout to the Scotch;
since its re-establishment and extension by
the Treaty of Vienna, has been borne with
much reluctance and disquietude. The King
dom of Piedmont, as the only Italian State pos
sessed of any considerable military force or of
any civil energy, has naturally been looked to
to take the lead in driving out the Austrians,
while the idea of uniting all Italy, or at least
all the north of it, in one kingdom, was well
calculated to influence the ambition of the Sar
dinians, both King and people. Hence, all
along, a sympathy aud, at times, a co-opera
tion between the partisans of the independence
of Italy and the royal family of Sardinia. In
fact, tbe Kiug of Sardinia occupies now a po
sition iu Italian politics precisely the same
with that occupied by the Pope in the middle
ages, iu the times of tbe Guclphs aud Ghibel-
lins, the former the oppoueuts. the latter the
supporters, of the German imperial power.
The first movement since the Treaty of Vien
na toward gettiug rid of the Austrians was
that set on foot by the society of tlie Car
bonari. so long ago as 1819 and 1820. The
then presumptive heir of the crown of Sardi
nia. afterward the King. Charles Albert, is said
to have been a member of that society and to
hare bad a share in that movement, though
upon its speedy and feeble failure he fell into
disgrace with his associates, as having secured
his own personal safety by treachery to them.
However that may have been, the idea of ex
pelling the Austrians still survived iu tbe breast
of Charles Albert. When, in 1848, the people
of the Austrian-Lombardo-Vcuctian Provin
ces rose iu arms, expelled the Austrian troops,
and constituted themselves into two republics.
Charles Albert, then King, marched into tiicsc
republics at tbe bead of his army, offering his
services to defend them against the Austrians.
This offer was gratefully accepted. It was
agreed to accept him as King, and. under this
arrangement the hoped for kingdom of North
ern Italy had a momentary existence. But
Charles Albert proved uuable to cope with tiic
Austrian armies which soon entered Italy iu
lorce. A single engagement settled the ques
tion. The defeated King, as if to mollify the
victors and to lay the foundation for accom
modating matters with them, resigned ou the
battle-field in favor of his son, Victor Eman
uel, the present King, to whom the Austrians
granted an armistice and afterward a treaty of
peace on rather hard terms.
But tlie ambitiou of Piedmont, though re
pressed for the momeut, was not extinguished.
The new King proceeded, by liberalizing his
owngovernmeut, to strengthen himself at borne
and again to draw toward Sardinia tlie hopes
and good wishes of the Italian patriots, now
more excited tbau ever against tbe Austrian
rule. Not only was tbat rule, as re-establish
ed iu tbe Austro-Veuetiau Provinces, exercis
ed there with great severity, but Austria seut
troops iuto tbe Papal provinces and other smal
ler Italian States, and still continues to maiu-
tuiu them there, under the plea of preserving
internal quiet, aud preventing revolutionary
movements, ivbicb, once set on foot, might ea
sily spread iuto her own provinces.
Sardinia, by mcaus of tbe quota of troops
which siic contributed to the Crimean war, be
came entitled to have a Minister present atthe
Paris Conference of 18.V5. That Minister was
Couut Cavour. who is at present at the head
of the Sardinian Government. The affairs of
Italy were introduced into the Cimferencc by
Walewoki, the representative of France. He
referred incidentally to the occupation of Rome
by French troops, and declared tlie Euipcror’s
willingness to withdraw those troops if the
Austrians would at the same time withdraw
from the occupancy of the northern Papal Le
gations. The French Minister also suggested
tbat the Congress might hint to the King of
Naples their disapprobation of his tyrannical
proceedings, as dangerous to tbe tranquility
of bis dominious, and, by consequence, to. the
peace of Europe. The Count Cavour took oc
casion to suggest pretty distinctly that mis-
goverument was not confined to Naples, but
existed also in the Italian dominions of Austria,
lie also complained of the constant increase of
Austrian troops iu northern Italy, which ob
liged Sardinia to maintain her army ou a war
footing. Ou the whole, the result nf the in
troduction of this subject was an apparent
concurrence of all parties in the desirability of
tbe speedy evacuation of the Papal dominious
by both Frcuch aud Austrians. As to the
other matters, the Austrian Minister objected
to thu discussion of uny question iu relatiou to
States uot represented iu tbe Conference.
Tbe Russian Minister bad no instructions.
Great Britaiu agreed with Frauce and Sardinia
that milder government in Italy was much to
be desired, though, iu connection with this
point, Frauce and Englaud confined themselves
to tbe cause of Naples and the Pope.
Such was the first faint indication of the sup
port since extended by Frauce to Sardinia, iu
tbe mutter of the curtailmeut of Austrian iu-
fluence in Italy— a questiou which has lately
been brought up to tbe war point. Since the
Paris Conference, Austria has made no further
aggressions, but neither has she yielded any
thing. She lias uot withdrawn her troops from
the Papal and other smaller Italian States.
She declines to co-operate with Franccin mod
erating the severity of tbe Papal Government,
or witlwFrancc and Englaud in remonstrating
with Naples; while, as Sardinia loudly com
plains, to the ,tlnee Austrian corps ifanncs
hitherto maintained in Italy, a fourth of 30,-
000 men has just been added, and the whole
aspect of the Lombardo-Venetiau Provinces
is tbat of preparation of war—a state of things
which has led to a corresponding increase of
military preparations ou the part of Sardinia.
The Count Cavour, in a recent circular to
the Sardinian Diplomatic Ageuts at tbe Euro
pean Courts, insists tbat these preparations on
the part of Sardinia are entirely defensive—
that she meditates uo attack on Austria, but
merely means to protect herself. It is pretty
plain, however, tbat the military preparations
of Austria have not been made with a view to
attack Sardinia, or any body else, but merely
to defend herself against tho attack, which, if
the present controversy results iri war, she
may expect from Sardinia, backed up and sup
ported by France.
Sardinia may well be supposed eager to
bring on a war. It is impossible for her to
carry out her schemes of driving th>{ Austrians
out of Italy without external assistar ce, and no
body is so well able to render effectual assis
tance as France. Even if tbe scheme should
not succeed, she might rely on her illy to pro
tect her from being swallowed up !.-y Austria.
If it did succeed, Sardinia might st ill come in
for Northern Italy as her share of tho spoils,
Napoleon beiug content to accept Southern It
aly, which, after tbe expulsion of tbe Austri
ans, would be at bis disposal, as an appanage
for tbe Murat family. Austria, on the other
hand, has every motive to preserve peace, if
she can do so without shaking her Italian em
pire, or teeming to humble herself too much.
She lias every thing to risk by war, aud little
or nothing to gain. The position of Napole
on is uncertain. If tbe war bolds out great al
lurements to him, both iu the way of employ
ing bis army, and occupying the minds of his
subjects and feeding tbe French passion for
military glory, it will also expose biin to vast
risks, since, if it should once begin, nobody
can tell in wliat complications it may result.
So far as it may bo Napoleon’s object to occu
py tbe public mind, and to give tbe newspa
pers some topics which they can discuss with
out subjecting themselves to the danger of a
warning—it is his policy to protract, so long
as may be, tbe present existing state of anxi
ety and uncertainty. Whether or uot his re
cent speech to the Corps Lcgislalif, was con
ceived in tliat spirit, it was admirably adapted
as an alternative to be contemplated. Tbe
English Government and the English mer
chants and ananufaclurers dread the idea of
tlie disturbance of peace. The London Times
energetically holds up before the eyes of Na
poleon his personal responsibility in this mat
ter. But, though the Government and the
Press throw their weight into the scale of Aus
tria, so far as the points now at issue are con
cerned, there is among the public a strong
sympathy for the oppressed Italians, and a
disposition, in consequence, to take the side of
Sardinia and France. It is true tbat as the
Italian patriots are' divided on this point, the
same is also the case with their English sym
pathisers. The ultra Republicans, with Moz-
ziui at their head, regard Sardinia and France
as laboring only for their own ends; nor do
they believe that any real extension of Itajian
liberty, is to be expee'ed from that quarter.
But. aszdways happens in such cases, the larger
portion are ready to accept aid, come from what
quarter it may, or however ambiguous in its
complexion.
Canine Sagacity.
We hope our readers have never seen the
following dog story which is going the rounds
of the press, aud if they have, will agree with
me that it bears repetition. We had a laugh
over it, for it reminded us of our spotted friend
ivlio hunted rats, real or imaginary, aud cut
our acquaintance upon moral and conscien
tious principles. Wc would here incidentally
remark that we met him again several Sundays
ago. Wc whistled, wc called ‘rats,’ wc said
‘sick ’em'—all iu vain, he would not recognize
us. This extraordinary dog’s attention was
so entirely engrossed by a meat basket on the
steps of a store, that all our efforts to renew
former intimacies were unappreciated. His
attitude at the time was a most edifying ex
ample of serious contemplation, and he no lon
ger resembled the frisky, waggish animal
whom we knew to be so keenly alive ‘to the
existence of rats. A look of demure meek
ness had taken away that swaggering air which
once distinguished him. Poor dog—what
could have happened thus to change him ! It is
the approach of the dogdays, when no dog has a
day which he may safely live through from
danger, while panting under the effects of the
heat. But to returu to the talc of the ‘con
scientious dog’ before us: we resume our story,
merely remarking that we have frequently ob
served the sagacity of the cuuinc race in detec
ting huinau hypocrisy.
•My father,’ says our cotemporary, ‘had a
dog of tlie spaniel breed, whose name was
I’onto. Now. Poilto, though decidedly wag
gish iu one point, had given evidence of be
coming more religious than any of his canine
neighbors. True, he would never turn the
other cheek and consequently while he had a
good character with the peace society, he was
scouted by tlie non residents. But i’onto was
always regularly at church, aud in one instance
at least he gave evidence tbat he went there
with the idea that honesty and religion had
some connection with each other. He was safe
enough in his notion, for a more honest dog
never barked. I’onto always walked into
church with the family, though he invariably
took his seat ou the lower stair of the sacred
desk, and none but the oldest in the congre
gation remembered when his seat was vacant.
1 ought to have remarked sooner, tbat I’on
to had but one enemy in the wide world, who
was tbe deacon of the church and our next
door neighbor. I forgot the cause—perhaps
some slander against i’onto iu the days of pup-
pyhood, when it must be confessed that he
was too much addicted to fun to comport with
a deacouisb idea of propiiety. Certain it is,
that Pouto growled at no one but Deacon
Drury aud tbe deacou threw a stone at noth
ing so furiously as at Pouto. If either exem
plified the golden rule towards the other, it
was I’onto.
So things stood for a long time when the
good pastor was called away for a long jour
ney. But parson or no parson, the family all
went to ehurch on tbe foiiowiug Sabbath, and
none with a longer face than Ponto. His ac
customed scat was takeu. and when the con
gregation rose for an early prayer, Ponto rose
with the rest, as he had always done, aud stood
with closed eyes aud open ears, waiting for the
first word of supplication. To the utter astou-
ishineut of uo one but Pouto, the word caine
in the voice of his old enemy, the Pious Dea
con. If the big Bible had fallen on Pouto’s
tail, he could not have looked for the cause
with a more rapid glance than he cast upwards
to the pulpit. He fixed his eyes on the face of
tlie deacou, as if to be sure of the sacrilege
aud tlieu with a look of pious horror I shall
never forget, and a step us fust as the place
would allow, he passed out of the house and
took a byepath across the fields. ■ From that
day forth, long os Ponto lived, he could never
be flattered or exhorted to enter the church
doors again; and whenever, from uecessity he
passed it on week days, it was with a look that
suid, ‘If Deacon Drury prays, the Church may
count Ponto among the backsliders.’

Ail Incidcutiu Authorship.
The want of an international copy-right
law, exposes writers, on bofh sides of the At
lantic, not only to the loss of the profits of au
thorship, but also of its honor*--. The follow
ing is a case iu poiut: Iu 1853, a work writ
ten by Rev. J..Banvard, entitled, “Priscilla or
Trials for the Truth, uu Historical Tale of the
Puritans and the Baptists,” was published in
Boston. One object of the book was to illus
trate the trials aud persecutions of tho Baptists,
iu the early history of the Colony of Massa
chusetts. To render the book attractive, the
historical facts were strung upou a thread of
fiction.
The following year the historical chapters
of the work appeared iu a Loudon publication,
called the “Gospel Messenger,” as original
matter. From tho Messenger, the chapters
were copied into thu Tennessee Baptist, a
weekly paper, under charge of Rev. J. R
Graves. Subsequently. Mr Graves published
them in book form, adding bis own name as
editor. The plagiarism was detected, and
caused considerable discussion in the Southern
aud Western papers. But tbe matter did not
end here. Mr. Buuvard's work experienced a
new transformation in the shape of a London
work, entitled “Perils and Adveutures of Pris
cilla Eaton, An Historical Tale,” and the Lon
don Messenger gave it a most flattering re
view. Iu this way the Origuai Boston “Pris
cilla” has been detected by two London pub
lishers aud reconstructed iuto two indepen
dent works, without the slightest recognition
of either the authorship or national .origin of
the book they have thus printed.
