Mr. Taggart, a. farmer in the town- la-nd of Roshine, had two servants, named Paddy Riley, who for the sake of distinguishing them, were calledi respectively Paddy-more or big Paddy. and fluid y- beg ofahittle'PaddyS“ Each man was so unfortunate as to have a ‘ hump on his back, which: spoiled his beauty, and injured his chances with the girls of Roshinc village. But, though alike in name and misfortune, the young men were unlike in temper, Paddy-more being cross-grained and ill-natured, while Paddy-beg was the cheeriest, most obliging of creatures. HALLOWEEN LEGENDS. One Hallowe’en, Paddy-bog washed his face, put on his Sunday clothes, and went out in search of a. spree. As he sauntered along he observed a. bril- liant light across the fields somewhere about the p13. :e where the old Danish fort, a. grassy mound, planted around the outer edge with trees, stood on his master’s farm. He turned .into the meadow where the cows had pastured in the summer, and drawing nearer the fort, the sound of lively music reached his ear. It seemed as if at least three fiddlers were playing the same tune. ‘ Paddy was fond of music. and he would have been a. fine dancer of jigs and reels if it had not been for his hump ; but he felt scruples about inviting .a young girl to “ take the floor” with him “~m insignified, wee crathur,” as he styled himself 1n his thoughts. He drew nearer to the bright light‘ and saw a grand house with steps up to the hall, while the music, at its loud- est and merriest, seemed to ask him to walk in. A company of well-dressed people 5th round a. large room, drinking and smoking, and watching a. handsome couple dance ajig on a door taken off its hinges and laid in the middle of the floor. “Come in, Paddy-beg ; come in, you good-natuxed, wee fellow,” said the women making room for him to sit down beside them. He smillingly complied, wondering how they knew his name, for they seemed to be strangers in Roshine. He glanced from one to another. Very respectable, nice looking people they were 3 but he had never seen them be fore. An old man offe1ed them Whigâ€" key, and a. woman spread soda-cake thickly with butter and handed it to him. crone in a. red c1034}? “ What. would it be but gude, an’ it Mr. Taggart’sAbutter 2” was the_ reply: Paddy recollected that portions. of butter had disappeared mysteriously of late, and that his master had suspected the cook of dishonesty. \Vho were these civil strangers? Where was he? But he had come out for a. spree, and he resolved to enjoy himself. So he drank enough to make him merry, and when his hosts proposed that he should ‘ dance, he started to his feet with alac- rity, chose the prettiest girl in the company and led her to the floor. “That’s a. brave little dancer 1 More power, Paddy-beg, my wee fellow !” were the cries that greeted his flings and capers as he crossed his feet, shook his legs till they seemed strung on wire jumped half his own height, and came down On the floor like a zephyr. “ Now we’ll mak’ him sing to us,” said they when the dancing was over. Paddy, nothing 16th, sang songs and told stories and amused the party. 7 ‘ VV hat W111 we do for the civil w ee fellow! ’said one. “ Tak’ the hump ofl‘ lum,” returned several voices.‘ W'fh» morrfing light found him lying on the grass a. couple of hundred yards from the old fort. There were the “Your butter’s gude,” remarked a yoctrx). gitcraturc. the trees on top of the mound. bun where was the grand house? Vanished with the lights and the mu- szc. All Roshinc was surprised when Paddy appeared without his humpâ€"a smart straight little man, who might well be any girl’s fancy. He had always been liked as much as Paddy more was detested. It was this other cross- grained Paddy who grudged his com- rade his good fortune, and expressed lns envy in many spiteful ways. Hallowe’en mine-round again, and Paddy-more in hopes of a. like adven- fiiii‘éfiiiade his way up to the grazing field. There was what looked like a. house with light streaming from its windows, and strains of gay musw is- suing from it. Paddy was received as cordially as his comrade had been, was given whiskey and other refreshments and was i nvite’d to dance and Sin". But his ill temper soon peeped out. He flatly. refused to dance; he would not sing ; he could hardly answer civ- ily when he was spoken to. __-. '.... . 1 VOlCC. “ Stick Pandy-beg’s bump on the top of his aim,” was responded unanimously \Vhen morning (game he walked up Roshine street with an enormously but» den on Ixié back; and as long as he lived his neighbours called him “Paddy wi’ twa. humps.” Mary Garland lived on the lonely shore of Clenvoigh, where wooded hills crept down to the water’s edge, and forests of Osmunda or royal fern grow- ingr six feet high, and patches of hog myrtle, a fragrant wild thyme, formed the margin of the Leugh. Not an- other human habitation was near. J anics Cal-land was game keeper to the landlord, who lived on his King’s coun- ty estate merely visiting Glenveigh in autumn, when he generally brought a party of gentlemen to shoot over his mountains. They put upat the shoot ing lodge at the head of the Lough, ‘ and Mary and James waited upon them lighting their fires, cooking their food, and supplying them with necessaries. This was the season of Mary’s har- vest. How pleasant to charge “ the quality” a. few pence more than the market price for butter and eggs 2 How nice to charge the people of yonder village a. commission on the chickens she managed to sell for them ! And it was easy to confess to the priest and get absolution. It will be seen tha; Mary’s rectitude was not of an exalted character 3 but she was a. dutiful Wife, and no woman in the three kingdoms could have exceeded hafigglregly 16%. 3 Sheido'liiédeTo-de: her‘ only child, :1 lovely creature of four years of age 3 her thefts and speculations being laid by towards the child’s fortune in a worsted stocking, th was hidden in a I hole in the thatch of" cabin. Rhoda trotted after her mother when she went up to the Lodge, and the and the sportsmen strocked her curly head ; and one Gentlemen gave up a days grouse hunting to paint her pic- ture. This artist and sportsman Was not 1 the onlv person who admixed Rhoda. ‘ Some beings but seldom seen by mor- tals, also thought the child very beauâ€" tiful. The grouse-shooting was over, and the quality gone, and the Garlands lived at Glenveigh with the golden eagles, who built in a cliff across the Lough, opposite their house, and the white trout, and the rabbits and sea- gulls. There were other creatures neur- er than they supposed ; but James and Mary had never seen them, and were apt to speak of them slightingly. ,J, "I" A sad change came over Rhoda. From being as wild and merry as the rabbits 1n the fern, she became as quiet as the 01d cat in the chimney-corner, who was almott too lazy to catch a mouse. Her mother used to say to her,â€" ‘l Run outbye an’ play yoursel’ jewel” ‘ “ No, mammy,” the child replied, unwilling to leave her stool, leaning her heavy head against the wall. The poor child had a lump on her neck, which grew larger, while she lost her appetite and became fretful and miserable. One evening the mo- ther sat beside the fire with the crying child in her arms, and the tears fell fast upon the pale, little face. Steps were heard at the door, and a tiny old woman with a hooked nose, long teeth, a gray beard, and a red cloak, came in. She was a frightful old woman. ‘ Mary felt a thril of digust at the sight of her; Rhoda’s wail was turned into a scream, the dog and cat sneaked off to the furthest end of the room, snarling and spitting. “ Be seated, good woman. Have you come far? faltered Mary. “ Not far, ma’am. I’m a. neighbor o’ yourn. I live on Tullyannon Brae.” “ Whist, good woman, there’s nae house ava on the Brae l” Troth there is ma’m, just a brave house, an, I ha’ lived comfortable in it for the last three hundred years. ; Many’s the time your wee girl has , played hersel’ over my kitcnen chim- ney, an’ a. bonnie wean she isâ€"me an’ , my family noticed her a. good dealâ€"it was new for usto see sich a. nice wean.” and the hideous woman grined so as to show her black fangs of teeth. _._-‘r\~ What will Wt; (10 to him'?” asked a Tullyannon Brae was a hill about a quarter of a. mile from the cabinâ€"a wilderness of brambles, nut-trees, and ferns. Nothing could exceed Mary’s anxiety to conciliate this strange guest She produced her freshest butter and best soda-cake, and brewed tea that cost four shillings a pound 3 calling her “ your ladyship," and “ my hansome woman,” “Your wean is sick. Vv'ill I give a cure? asked the ladyship. “ A cure, lady 'I “ Ay, a. cure I” “Be pleased to cure her,” cried Mary, shaking less with terror than eagerness. "Weel I’ll make a bargain with ye. “What bargain, dear lady 'I” , ' l “This ane. I’ll' come back this night four weeks,‘ and gi’ you three guesses to tell me my name, and if you canna. tell it at the third guess 1’11 take the child away to Tullyannon Brae.” “Oh, lady, the bargain’s gey and hardâ€"gey and hard I” exclaimed the poor mother shuddering as she sBohe. ‘ “As you please,” Eaid the .‘fairy smoothing her cloak with claw-like fin- gegs. .. .. n . 1 0 But as the child’s wail grew louder, and her face became more pinched in the fire-light, Mary’s resolution began to give away. Before the ends were bltten ofl‘the lump dwindled and disappeared. he child smiled, and dashing away her tears, jumped off her mother’s knee, and ran to play with the grey cat. bed. “ Vera wee]. Gie me a thread of flax. Look E I bind 11; round the lump three times and bite 06' the ends.” Great was the consternation of J ames when he heard the stor ', “ Good evcnifig,” said the visitor, moving to the door. “ I’ll be back in four weeks, and if you canna guess my name, thy handsome \vcan’ll come with me.” “ \Ye know that the fairies live near us, but we dinna know what their names may be,” he said to his wife. The lovely Rhoda grew more engag- ing day by day, and her unhappy par- ents were more miserable, and as the fatal hour approached they lost all hope. At lengd; htheir unwelcbme visitor be- came due. They sat together with the child between them, listening forafoot- step. “There she comes!” exclaimed the terrified mother. No! An old man the crossed threshold, and asked Mary if she would be so kind as to give him a night’s lgdgjng. The poor woman complied, and while he was at supper the child climbed on his knee, begging for a story. “Ay, my bonnie wean,” he said: “I’ll tell you about the ugly witch in the red cloak, who is spinning on Tullyannon Brae and singing, “ ‘Little knows the wife in yonder cut, That my name is Tritteutrot.’ ” “Oh, sir, what is that you are singing to the wean?” asked Mary, starting. “I was just telling your wee girl about the old hag that spins and sings. I saw her a wee minute ago by the light of a fine fire she has on Tullyannon Brae.” “ And what was she singina? On, my dear gentlemen say it again!" The stranger obeyed. “ ‘Little knows the w ife in yonder cOt, That my name is Trittemtrot. ’ “ Frittemttot! '1 ritbcmtroti”. repeat- ed Mary, joyously, “the witch may come whenever she likes now.’ As she spoke steps were heard, and the elfin woman appeared, striking the ground triumphantly with her crutch. “\Veel, nei ;hbor, the four \xeeks are up. Gan you tell me my name 2” “Is it Nancy’!’ asked Mar),r rubbing her brow as if puzzled. “In troth itis not,” answered the witch with a malicious grin. “Is it Bridget?” “It is not! it is not! one more guess and then“ the bonnie wean comes away with me to 'l‘ullyannon Brae.” “Is it 'l‘rittemtrot'!” “Who told you?” cried the elf in a rage. “Let me know, that I may tear him to pieces. “1’11 pinch him with the Painsâ€".I’llâ€"l’llâ€"J’ rm.-- 7 n e The stranger went close to her and whispered something in her car, and she shrank as she caught what he said, un- til she was no bigger than the gray cat. and uttering most dismal cries fled out of the house. “Now your wean is safe, and you know that ane’s name, but you’ll never know who I am,” said their mysterious benefactor. vv-- -“vv They Vlio'nded him with thanks and blessings, and 11e_ qut away. 1', ... v -_" -""""' C ?

The Lessons That Experience Has Taught a Boston Policeman. A Boston correspondent of the \Voon_ socket Patriot tells how a young policeman Charles Maynes, stops a runaway horse:â€"â€" “When you see a runaway coining do not try to check him by a rush from the op- posite direction or the side, for you will be immediately knocked flat by the collision, but instead prepare yourself for a short run with the horse. Measure with your eye the distance, and start for the run while he is yet some way 01?, perhaps ten feet in the case of fair to medium runa- ways. You may depend upon his keep- ing a straight line, for a really frightened horse is haif blind and Would not veer for a steam engine. He will go straight ahead until he smashes into something. So do you get close to the line 'on which he is rushing. and as he passes you grab the reins near the saddle. Gather the reins firmly, and then, leaning backwark as you run, give them a powerful yank. You may be able to brace yourself as you give this yank, half sliding on your feet. The strong jerk on the bit tells the horse that he again has a master and prepares j him for the final struggle. A step or two forward after the first yank, do it again. This is the finishing stroke. It never fails when given by a determined man. The horse is on its haunches. Keep a. firm uuLw a» VA- .- pull on the reinsâ€"Iiilâ€"s'rou grab {he horse by the nostrils and hold him so till he is pacified.” -. ‘r I In stopping a span of horses Mnyues tries to get on the side of the wilder one, ‘ as, if pulled to its senses, the other one ‘ can be managed. The task is easier if the horse has a. curb bit. A runaway may-{150 be stopped by the driver in the same man- ner' “It you pull steadily with all your strength on a curb bit,” says Mayues. ”the cfl'ect on the horse’s jaw is just what it is if you tie a. cord tightly about your finger. The blood doesn’t flow, and the finger be- comes numb. After a firm pull has been maintained on the horse’s mouth for a ‘ while it ceases to have anyefi‘ect, You cannot then force him out of a run if he is frightened. But give him his head a little till 7 the mouth recovers from its numbness, lash him with the whip if you have a free road, and then give him a sudâ€" Runaway Horses. 9W9 my 3!:Wéhc $20” 50 Cents a Yam/1'72 Advance den yank. He will come down. If the first yank isn’t enough give him one more. There isn’t a. horse on earth which can run away with .1 competent driver if the bar- ness holds.” ' Maynes has risked his life a. number of times, and has had some peril- ous encounters before subduing frightened animals. He has received a medal from the Humane Society, and 5‘00 from the Cab Society. Two Residents of Nanaimo in an Open Boat With a Madman. 011 Wednesday ' nftemouu last two resi- Mair-Mime. B. C. had an .ulveuv turc with a 111111111311 \1 111011 they 11111 nut soon forget. It appears £10111 1111; 1 w Press that. Mr. L. Rowan desired to V1511; Gabriela island and 1111'itcd his friend Mr. Kaye to go with him. They engaged as. sailor-like man to row them across, and stepping into his boat they started on their trip. When about half way across the man took 011‘ his hat and asked them to feel a healed up cut on his head and vol- unteering the pleasant information that it sometimes made him crazy. However, he pulled across all right, and Messrs. Rowan ank Kaye, stepping ashore, left him on the beach. Upon their return to the shore they found that their strangeâ€"lookâ€" ing boatman had taken the ' t some dis- tance away. A fter a good deal of signal!- ‘ing and shouting he returned, but as he :approached he began abusing the two gentleman in the most ofl‘ensive manner, threatening to drown them both before he was through with them. They succeeding in pacifying the enraged and apparently half~frenzied man and started on the re- turn trip. When near Protection island the man started again to threaten to drown them. and got up in the boat, and by tak- ing hold of the mast succeeded in wreen- ing the boat 80 that she partly filled with water. By this time it had bCCome dark. and the situation was anything but a pleas- ing one. The two men then seized and struck the lunatic to prevent him carry- ing his threat into execution, and by this time they had reached shallow water. when Rowan jumped into the water, which was up nearly to his armpits. Here the lun- atic tried again to drown them, and as a matter of self-preservation they had to handle the frenzied man rather roughly. They succeeded in getting on slime, and at first decided to leaVc the sailw there and row to town, but on second thoughts not knowing how the man was in jured. 01' what he might do in himself, decided to bring him with them. During all the time of the struggle Rowan and Kaye made repeated loud calls for help, but not the slightest response came. They placed ’ the crazy man in the boat, one of them keeping him down, while the other pad- dled with an oar, the other having been lost in the scuffle. The journey across the harbour was a tedious one, but at last the keel grated on the beach, and the sound was a most grateful one to Rowan and Kaye» who lost no time in getting rid of their dangerous companion. m. .m dence of strict .
