a liEMTNtsasNrt! or a fnot.tsij
sTortsvan.
The London Examiner relates the follow
ing anecdote of the late James Merry, the
English sportsman, iron-master, million-1
nan e and member of Parliament;
*A favorite pastime of enr hero, in his
early days, was the pitting of a dog agafnsf
a badger, lie and his chum in sport, wild
became bia partner in business, procured a
celebrated badger that had never been drawn
by any dog. Some Edinburgh sportsmen
however, sent a challenge, and backed thefr
dog against the badger lor what in those
days was esteemed a heavy amount, a sum
of *.• '. —> ’
“ he owners of th# b;idgtfr thp
betyanfl the fight was tn coitle otlat Linlith
gow, half-way between Glasgow and Kdin
burgh,.on a certain day. To the hasror of
our sportsman and his chum the badger died,
and died on the day just before the day on
whir lithe affair was to come off'. To one of
them the five humlced dollars -was a dead
loss j but to the other—who knew that there
was hope even when the signs of lile were
.gone—there was something yet to be done —
art we, know well enough there always is to
them who have a heart for any fate. So he
took tlj*4 dead badge|. placedlTWil) Hi the Well
to the trystine place,
prepaid, it if ‘(TtS y*;i por
tion of the money now forfeited.
l, ()n arriving at Linlithgow tike rryn
the delimct badger had their hearts relieved
by learning that the dog men had come but
had not brought Their dog with them, the
Wamor, however would not fail to appear
the next day. This was accounted an
portune'moment by the companion of our
merry hearted hero to propose a com pros
mise. The merry one bade his friend keep
his own counsel, or wait To hear whfaT the
jlog party might tay. They dined together;
the all subduing and melHnjpnfltience r ot the
much desired Clynelelsh brand promoting
good fellowship and good will. \J
‘*'l'he began (o nmf at drawing
the bet, rather than trying to draw the bad'
ger. A kick under the table from hi friend
intimated the anxiety he felt to close at once
with any terms that might be offered. That
kick vvas responded to by another still mr<e
vigorous, pinallv, the packers of ihe dog
offeree! s' to Cancel Thf Bet. Kick -
ing was again renewed, but our hero re
mained firm, like Horatius, who kept the
bridge so well, steadfast still in mind. It
was at Length agreed that the dog party
should forfeit thiee hundred and seventy
five dollars. The bank notes were banded
over iyipiept.pus question was set
‘Tm thinking we've got the better o* ye

Old Dick Thompson, of Indiana, is
the “Old man eloquent” of the state.
He Is a chivalrous abd handsome
white-headed and bright-eyed old
gentleman, with a tendency to de

a reminiscence of Henry Clay,'
Though he has been quite prominent
in the politics of his state, it is dif
ficult to understand why tie has not
had the leadership in his own hands.
The secret may perhaps be found in
the extraordinary activity and -will

Indiana last year, It will bo remem

In the winter of 1842, a fcontleman
nmCM diihir’htei'.kyown!? lady, while
traveling throwg-h Oanadn, arrived
aUmVrnixUbfali wti an old-fitehiouvd
tavern, ~Ttu* jfeptltjujan oii<;ln led,U)
ptoti tfiero,.!ristend of ggltlg on to.the
of ■ which was about
ten ml lea distant.: and which ; they
had UiostgUt tp roftoli.
The daughter, parrie, expressed
her wilfltiijness, as the tavern pre
sented a eomfortahle appearance;
hud Whey alighted, when it was plain
ly to bo seen that the geutlemau was
quite lame—so tuueh so that he was
obliged to use a cane.
The landlord ontne out. and calling
r boy to take the horse and sleigh to
the barn, he ushered Mr. Bpeiieer and
his daughter Into a pleasaut sitting-1
room, where a bright tire was burn
ing on t he he.arth, which Moved very
acceptable to our travelers, who bad
been in the sleigh since morning.
“Your room will be ready by sup-1
per time, sir,”-said the landlord, as i
ho left the sitting-room and went into I
tlie bar-room..
Supper was shortly announced, and
after refreshing themselves, Mr.
Spencer and Carrie returned to the
■cosy sittiug-room, where they talked
and chatted until half past eight,
They were then shown to their
room, which was in the second story,
in a wing somewhat distant from the
main portion.
The room was very long with a
high ceiling. On one side was a
window, aud on the other a door.
Just above the door was a bust of
King Gorge lit.
The room was very plainly furnish
ed, containing two beds, a wash
stand and a few chairs.
Carrie took in the whole room at a
glance, and it must belcouCoesed, had
there not Ijijeu a eheerlul tup burn
ing, she would have felt somewhat
nervous about sleeping there- As it
Ivas the warm glow lit up the room
into comparative cheerfulness.
While etie and her father sat by
the fire, her eyes wandered to the
bust above 1(10 door, wbeu she no
ticed thn,t the eye balls had evidently
been knocked out, leaving two empty
sipaees.
■ “Well, Carrie,” s lid Mr. Spencer,
presently. “I think you had better
lock the aoor. lam going to count
my money. v
After Carrie had done so, lie drew
out a money belt, heavy with bills,
aud proceeded to count them.
While he was doing so, Carrie’s
eyes involuntarily wanderedagaiu to
the bust, whyu, to her horror and as
tonishment, in place of the ympty
spaces, wdre two glittering eyes,
greedily watching every movement
of her father.
'The young girl could scarcely re
press a scream; but, controlling ber
selh. she looked, towards the tile,
while her father was eouuting a large
.roll of bills.
“I must have been mistaken, ’
thought the fair girl. “What could
make me have sucfl a Strange fancy,
though?” she continued, giaueing
again at t he bust,
The eyes were still there-two
biirnirigv savage eyes', that brighten-.,
ed iwu’Ahri tjpencer went on counting.
“Good beavius!” We are evident
ly iu a den qf, thieves, aud will get
murdered for thy father’s money.
Mow tt> communicate their danger"
tej tier fattier without those terrible
eyes noticing it, Carrie could not
think Suddenly a bright idea came
to her. ~IW 5 ‘
“Bather,” Bho said aloud, “let me
take.a card aud pencil. 1 wish to
make a memorandum of some items
I wish to purchase in the village.”
Jler father hauded them to. -her,
after stowing away his belt. Carrie
wrote, tremblingly, iu a line hand ~
“Fattier, do not be frightened ; we
,are iu a trap. Go iu the opposite
of the room, where your face
will be iu the dark, aud look at the
bust above the dour. Iu i t you w ill
see two glittering eyes that have
watched you count your money.” j
"Read it,” she said aloud, handing
the card to her father, “I want you
i.o see if you think me too extrava
gant.”
Her father betrayed no . emotion
while ho read, but said—
“ You are pretty extravagant, Car
rie. I suppose you think your father
is made of mouey;” and no arose
and went to the wasbsmud, which
was' in a dark corner of the room.
Once there ho glanced toward the
bust aud that glabce .confirmed his
daughter’s extraordinary statement.
When he came back to his spat,
Caitie Saw that the eves were gode.
Then-leaning towards her father,
said lii a low tone—
“ You ace it 19 as I said. I have
thought of a plan, however, by
which we can both escape. Yoit
would be perfect ly nelpless in ari af
fray ot any kind on account of your
ame leg, so I must try to save ds
both.
Then followed a whispered con
sultation:, during which Carrie kept
her eygs fixed on the bust ,‘thq gitt,-
tering oibs had not conn; back.
As she concluded, Carrie went, to
the window, threw it up, and looked,
out. Beckoning to her fathef, who
came, she said, orrat her whispered—
You sec thik shed, father? Well,
they will prnbubly come up on it, arid
pet in through the window. Ino not
think they will make the attack Ht*-

Flinging a wrapper .over her Might
fiews, she ctubr&c el tier father ten
'ijefly, sne jumped lightly out on the
mill and disappeared.
Mr. Spencer watched her for a
while, then closing the window, took
obt Iris watch, saw that it was nine’
o’clock, and.- proceeded to work.
He first covered up the fire, blew
out the light, and rolled up a
[vlitn which he made a dummy. Ttua,

That worthy, came flying up the
stairs, and, late tis it wtya hp was still
dfussed.
“On, landlord?”'gaspbil Mr,-Spen
cer, rushing to wauls hiui, “I have
been robbed! my mouey is gone!”
“uonb!” echoed thdlandlord in dis
may.
“Who could have stolen it?” groan
ed Mr. Siie.uoer. “I lia<l live thou

The lan'dford lit. the candle and
looked, A murid Chagrin depleted on
I everv feature:
“Why don’t, you wake your daugh
ter, sir?” he questioned.
Mr. Spencer hurried to the bed.
“Camel Currie!” he called, but no
! answer came; and the landlord,
; drawing near the light, snwthedum
my, and cried
“Why man, the girl isn’t there!”
“What!” gasped Mr. Spencer.
“Oh, I see it all? The wicked girl
has robbed me while-1 slept, and run
off to meet her lover, frutu whom 1
was taking her.”
He ran to the window, followed by
the landlord.
“Yes, yes, here are footprints in
the snow on the shed!” cried the
landlord, while Mr. Spencer groaned
aloud.
“How long do you think she hns
been gone, sir?” asked the landlord.
“For an hour or more, the deceit
ful judge,” replied Mr. Spencer.
“Then, there’s no use looking for
her,” replied the landlord.
“Oh, but, we must?” cried Mr.
Spencer, as he began to descend the
stairs, followed by the landlord, who
believed every word Mr. Spencer
said.
They proceeded to the barn, fol
lowed by the landlord’s confederates.
They found the horse gone, and her
mode of flight was easily explained.
“You may as well give her up, sir?”
said the landlord, consolingly.
“I suppose I may,” groaned Mr,
Spencer, and they returned to the
house.
As they left the bars he heard the
landlord whisper to oue of his con
federates—
“ The job’s up, Jeni ; we’d better
iettheold man alone.”
Once umre entering tho room, Mr.
Spencer throw himself on the bed
and awaited the return of Ills brave
daughter.
“God bless her and bring her back
in surety,” be murmured.
Meanwhile all grew still and the
hours rolled by.
The fire had been raked up and
cracked merrily. The eyes Were not
looking from the bust; they had evi
dently disappeared for the night.
At last, after what seemed an age
to the anxious watcher, lie heard a
loud knock on the bout entrance,
and five minutes afterwards heard
the landlord stumble to the dbor.
Then followed a coufused jumble of
curses and struggles, then a rush ot
many feet up the long hall and
stairwaj.
The next minute the door was
thrown open and bis daughter rushed
in, followed by the jofli'-ers, who
dragged iu the landlord and his eon-
JederateH.
•‘Oil, father!” she cried, “you are
safe, safe!” and throwing her amis
atomid his neck, the. brave girl burst
into happy tears. .
The sheriff and Ins posse of men

at.es in a vice, like grasp, whileGarrie
related tho adventure of her pe*Utma
11 “After I left tlie barn I led Tommy
to a fence, all unsaddled,-sprang on
him, wound my anus tightly round
