A STORY OF AN OLU BACHE.
LOR .
There was a fine old General once,
IHfthaving spent most of his life in the
{fenßf Mars, knew very little about the
camp.-W Cupid. He was one of those
rough anlUinnest spirits often met in his
gallant priSssinn, innocent as an infant
of almost every thing save high integrity
and He was near
ly fifty years old, ami his toils were over,
when master Dan Ctlflid brought him ac
quainted with a widow Wadman, in whose
eye he began to deledl 1 something that
made him uneasy. Hire was the result
of leisure.
During his service lie had DtY^^ een
any thing worthy of notice in a wom|n’s
eye. in fact, he would scarcely have ob
served whether a woman had three eyes
in Iter head or only one; for no matter
where his own eyes were, his thoughts
were ever among “ guns and drums and
wounds,” and love was a thing.that lived
in his memory just as he remembered
once reading a visionary story book cab
led the “Arabian Nights’ Entertain
ment!.,” when a boy.
Well, the General had settled down in
to an amiable, gentlemanly old fellow,
living alone with comfortable wealth a
round him and having little to do, save
now and then to entertaia an old com
rade in arms, which companionship af
forded opportunity for him ‘ to fight the
battle o'er again.’ But alas! o’er this
calm evening of the old General’s day a
deal of perplexity was doomed to fall, and
be soon found himself in troubled waters,
the depth of which he could by no means
understand. He floundered about like a
caged rat under a pump—and stub an
other melancholy fislfcout of water never
before swallowed the bolt, book and all
of jhe angling god of love. The poor
General. We must give him a name or
we can't tell the story, and the best name
lor such a story is Uncle Toby.—Poor
General Uncle T\)by debated abstraceff*
ly about his new position, and never bad
seige or campaign given him such per
plexity before.
At length however, the blunt honesty
ot tits disposition rose uppermost among
his conflicting plans, and Ids course was
chosen. At school he had once studied
“ Othello’s Defence” to recite at an exhi
bition, but made a great failtte ; anil he
now recollected there was something in
this * defence’ very much like w hat he
wanted to say. He got the book imme
diately, found the passage, claped on his
hat with a determined air, and posted off
to the widow Wadman’s with Sltapspeare
under his arm.
‘ Madam,’ said'General Untie Toby,
opening bis book at the marked- place,
with the solemnity of a special pleader at
the bar— * Madam—
“ Rude am I in my speech,
And little bless’d with the set phrase of peace 1
For since these arms of mine had seven
years’ pith,
Till now some nine moons, wasted they
have used
Their dearest action in the tented field •
And little of this greut world can 1 speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and bat
tle ;
And therefore”—
Here the General closed the book, wip
ed bis forehead, looked up at the ceiling,
and said with a spasmodic gasp, ‘ 1 want
to get married.”
The widow laughed for ten minutes by
the watch before site could utter a sylla
ble, and then she said, with precious tears
of humor rolling down her good Matured
cheeks; ‘And who is il you want to
marry, General?’ ‘
• You,’ said Unile Toby flourishing fits
sword-arm in the air, arid assuming a
military attitude’ “of defiance, as if he e|t
expected an assault from the widow im
mediately.
‘ Will you kill me if I marry you ?’—
said the widow with a merry twinkle in
her eye
‘No, madnm !’ replied Uncle Toby,
in a most serious and deprecating lone,
as if to assure her tliut such an idea had
never entered his head.
• Well, (hep, 1 guess I’ll marry you,’
said the widow.
• Thank you, ma’am,’ said Unde To
by ; ‘ but one thing J am bound to tell
you of, madam ; 1 wear a wig /’
The widow started, remained silent a
moment, aud then went into a longer,
louder, and merrier laugh than she had
indulged in before at the end of which she
drew her seat near the General, gravely
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
laid he*r hand on his head, gentle lifted
his wig off and placed it on the (able.
General Uncle Toby had never known
fear in lust battle, but be now felt a most
decisive ‘inclination to run away. The
widow j&ughed again, ns though she
never would stop, and the General was
about to lay bis bat upon his denuded
head bolt, when the facetious lady
placetd her hand upon his arm and de.
tabled him. She then deliberately rais
ed her other hand to her own head, with
a sort of military precision, executed a
rapid rnanoeuver with her five fingers,
pulled off her whole head of fine glossy
hair, and placing it upon the table by
the side of’the Gener.d’s, remained seat
ed with liidictus gravity in front of her
accepted lover, quite bald.
As may be expected, Uncle Toby now
laughed along with the widow, and they

” ADVENTURE WITH A
% ROBBER.
Prince Federal Schwarzenburg, the
son of the celebrated Field Marshal
Sehwarxenburg, used often to relate bis
encounter with the notorious robber Ha
btirak. The Prince once accompanied
a lady from Hungary to Vienna. They
journeyed on tliy mountain roads between
the counties of Gortnor and Corns.—
Heavy showers hail greatly damaged the
roads, evening approached ; the tired
horses had reached the ridge of the wood
y height but could not be urged any far
ther ; and the travellers were thus com
pelled to seek shelter for the nighl in (lie
inn ol Aggtdek, a hiding place of ill
note for robbers. The carriage haled
before the In use, and the servant inquir
ed whether a room could be afforded. The
ptiblkaii jrep!jeJLthal (here vyas one. loom
for the lady, but that the gentleman
could hpt be accommodated, the large
guest-room being over-filled. After some
visible reluctance he owned that the gang
of Haburak was drinking there. The
lady became terrified and entreated the
Prince not to remain ; but it had grown
dark, the horses were worn out, aud the
steep decent of the road was too danger
ous to proceed. The Prince g tried to reas
sure the lady; so she locked herself up
in the room assigned to Iter. Her com
panion, wrapped in his white officer’s
cloak, under which lie kept his pistols in
readings-, stepped in the apartment where
the robbers were assembled, and sal down
at the table, facing the window whilst his
servant, likewise armed, kept watch out
side the house, close the window, on the
allerl in case his master sould want his
aid.
Tlta company consisted of about ten or
twelve men. Their rifles, leaned against
the wall; their axes lay upnd the board
upon whieli stood (lie wine jugs. They
drank; sang and talked over their adven
tures, and did not take any notice of the
newly arrived guest. The Prince mixed
in llteir conversation, took w ine w iih them
and listened to their conversation till it
had grown late. Suddenly he rose, cal
led the republican, threw a gold coin on
the table, ond said :—This is for the wine
these good folks have drank ; they are
my guests. But now,’ he continued ad
dressing the robbers, ‘ il is time to sleep.
In the adjoining room is a sick lady: the
entertainment has lasted long enough, I
cannot ailow any one longer to occupy
this room/ o£ disturb the lody’s rest by
no?4’ ’V'-’
At this imperative command, the rob
bersjuniped from their seat, aud contemp
tuously laughing, cried out, ‘ Does the
gentleman fancy that because lie had a
carriage anjJ lour, and plenty of money
in Ids pocket tie hat a right to command
US?’ -of
An uproar followed. The men voci*
feruted * We are pqpr lads, and there, we
are masters here.’
•We are no notorious peasants, who
take off our hats to every gentleman.’
•We have >et money and credit e
nough to swallow a draught when we are
thirsty.’
‘ We do not accept any gift from peo
ple who fancy themselves belter than we
are.’
‘ \Ve “ill not be ruled.’
All this was almost simultaneously ut
tered with a loud tumult, Iron) all sidrs.
All the robbers had got up. ThePiince
mechanically caught hold of his pistols,
and threw of]'his cloak.
‘ 1 am master of the craft in which you
are but apprentices, lie exclaimed with
dignity. ‘ Yon are robbers ;lam a sol
dier, and fear neitlnr the mouth of a ti
tle, nor the etlge of an axe.’
During this uproar, a man of middling
height and strongly marked features hat)
risen from the bench beside the stove
where he had quietly sat during the w hole
time without partaking of the w ine. Ite
now said in a commanding tone : _
‘ Silence !*
The robbers grew speechless at this
order, and again sat down to the table.
1 Mr. Officer,’ continued the man,
‘ don't think you can frighten us. I too
have been a soldier, and have most prob
ably smelt more powder than you ever
did. 1 am Haburak. If I desire to do
you any harm, a single whistle would suf
fice. The table at n hit'll yon hare sat
would be overthrown, the candles extin
guished and belore you were aware of
what was going on, you would be a dead
man, not less than your servant here at
the window, who thinks lie watches us,
whilst we watch him. But l saw yon
help a lady out of the carriage, and take
her to the adjoining room. We never
will disturb a lady’s rest; we war with
men and not with women. For the pre
sent we shall leave this shelter; yet, re
, member, sir, that this is the first lime for
a forniglit that these men have been un
der a roof, and that the couch there be-*
•s’ ‘Jr v fJgS
low on the damp oak-leaves is by jg6r
means comfortable, ell!’ jAs’
‘Friends, let us go’ be called to the
men. They tpok up their arms and
went. JH
The Prince was greatly struck by the
whole proceeding. He did not entirely
trust the robber's word, and relieving his
servant, they paced tip and down thus
keeping watch the whole night. But no
robber again appeared.
On the morrow the lady continued the
journey w ith her companion. The weath
er had cleared up, and the only puddfcs
in (lie lanes, and the drops of rain glisten
ing on the brandies, reminded them of the
clouds of the previous day. Af er they
had ridden about an hour, they suddenly
heard the discharge of a rifle dose to them
in the woods. Haburak stepped forth
from the bushes and bid (lie coachman
halt.
The horses stopped; the Prince drew
forth the pistols. Haburak, without heed
ing his threatening mein, rode close up
to the carriage door and said :
‘ We yesterdays sacrificed our comfort
that the rest of this lady should not be
disturbed. Now 1 will see w hether it was
worth the trouble.’
With these words, he lifted the viel
which hung down from the lady’s bonnet,
and looked for an instant into her face.
The lady blushed and the robber said; —
‘She is really wry pretty.’
He turned around ; plucked a w ild rose
from a bush close at band, and offered it
to the lady, with these words:—
‘ Accept this rose kindly as? keepsake
from the poor robber Haburak ; aud if
you sometime hear that lie has been ban
ge, pray an Ave Maiia for his soul.’
The lady touk the rose, and the rob
ber vanished.
Two years later the newspapers related
that the robber Haburak bud been caught
that lie had been tried at (lie assizers in
Torna, convicted of desertion and high
way robbery, and hanged.
THE PROPHECY.
A Jewish Iraditionof the twelf th century.
TRANSLATED BY F. 1. JOACKIMSSKN.
Among the names of the learned Jews
of the twelfth century that of * Raslii’
stands highest, next to Maimonides,
whose eontemdorary be was. H : s name
was Sclilomo been Jezcbalk, and lie was
born in Troyes. His writtings are yet
held in the highest repute, aud are (liens
logical authority. He was a great trav
eller, and )ingui.*t. lie has written a
commentary on the Nalimid, which is the
greatest assistance to the student of ihat
book. He was an uiicothfilished mathe
matician, and a very just and pious man.
Among other traditions with which bis
nanie is connected, is the follow mg :
The brave Godelcoy of Bouillion, was
not only an enemy to the Saracon, but a
xe .lons persecutor of Ihe Jews, /it bis
march with his army to join the allied
Crusaders, lie arrived in the town where
Raslii dwelt. The chieftain had been
told many wonthilul sti iics ol the Rabbi,
> TERMS: $2 in Advance.
j and he was curious to test tiie pretensions
w inch were set up that Kashi would con
sult fate and see into futurity. To be
quite certain that no collusion should be
pratised, lie disguised himself as a beg
gar, and entered with all humility, die
room of Raslii. To him, however a vi
sion bis dream had revealed that he
would receive the visit of one of the Mag
nates of the Land, whom he should be
cautious in answering.
No sooner then, had the Duke entered
die study, when the Rabbi rose from hi
seat, and bowing, stepped forward to
men him, saying ;
1 Be greeted in die name of the Lord,
almighty hero! Peace be with thy in
comings, and blessings on tbv out-go
ings.’
Godefroy w as surprised, and could not
find words to answer.
Raslii continued :
1 Why, powerful prince, hast thou clad
thy stalw art limbs in the rags of a beg
gar ? The dignity whirl) lias been
voucl’esafed thee from on high, cannot
be concealed from the countenance; tby
bravery speuks out of thine eves. Who
would not at once recognise the heroic
leader who is going to conquer the ene
my in the Holy land. Say,what wouldst
thou of me, lliy servant ?’
Said the Duke : J
‘ As thou knowest so well who Ia nr,
and what I intend, thou surely knowest*
why Jam here. I have come to ask thee
whether in the holy struggj#/will be the
Victor or the ciinqiired*’ ■ -
‘ My lord,’ answered Rash), ‘ thou de
mandest much of a sou of die dust. It is
not die will of God dial inotal man should
lift die veil that covers futurity: but a),
low me a few moment’s to rally my mind;
perhaps that it may please the All-wise
to grant an answer by way of my lips.’
Hereupon, with die utmost devotion !ie
turned to die East, and remained wrapt
in bis own thoughts. All at once he
turned, aud with elevated voice, pro
claimed :
* Hear, O warrior, what the Lord Za
bantli makes known unto thee ! Three
times shall thou conquer tliy enemies, and
pul (hem to flight; thou wilt be called
the king of the holy City of Jerusalem.
But soon will disunion creep among thy
confederates ; the enemy w ill return, and
thou w ilt fain turn tliy back upon him.—
Then shalt thou return to tliy country,
but not at the head of a victorious arinv.
No; accompanied only by two soldiers,
the companions of thy misfortunes, wilt
thou revisit this town.’
‘ Silence, tliou croaking raven,’ cried
the enraged Duke to the reverend Seer,
‘ know that thougheveiy thing may hap
pen as tliou hast told, and but one sin
gle man more accompany me into this
town, I shall have thy lying tongue tom
out by the roots.
Thus speaking, he left.
* But die prediction of Raslii wag
fulfilled. Three victories did Godefroy.
of Bouillion, obtain, and he became King
of Jerusalem. But disaffection spread a
mong the armies of (lie different nations.
The Turks conquered die Crusaders, and
Bouilliu had to seek his mtn fell victims
to the plague, so that wlien lie came to
the limits of the town, where the venera
ble Seer resided, he had but three men
with him. He recalled the prediction tu
his mind, and turning to his companions,
said :
‘ In this town, some years since, a Jew
told me my fate. Every tiling lias real,
ly happened as he predicted, but there are
three men left to me, and yet lie certain
ly spoke of only two. Then shall be
done to him according to try promise.’
He had just finished die sentence and
entered (lie gate, when a loose stone gave
way, anti in its fall, dashed out the brains
of one of his small retinue, causing in
stant death. The prophecy was literally
true. The Duke was greatly moved.—
He saw the hand of God, and the (ruth
of Raslii,s vision, in all that had befallen
him ; for, in truth, lie returned into the
town w iih only (wo soldiers. Thenco
forward, Godefroy of Bouilliu is said to
have been a friend and protector of the
Israelite.
