"For ‘lhat. old man whom you are abOut to k-In.’ "He dies, boy !’ ‘But be is my father, air.’ "-No matter if he were my own father ; that man Who strikes an English 0- Ce? mm: in the performance of his duty, must die) “Get up, sir, and be careful that mix do h’Ot get. the same treatment," Said the Captain. A single whip was i‘élire at the mar. board foreyard arm, and all bands were called to witness the execution. The rope was noosed and slipped over the c'u‘lprit’s head, and the running end fish rove through a. small snatch-block on the dear. Until this moment not a word had estraped the lips of the boy.â€" He trembled as be beheld the prepara- tions; and, as the fatal noose was pass- ed and drawn tight, the color forsook his cheeks, and he sprang forward and dropped upon his knees before the in- censed Captain. ‘Mercy, sirâ€"mercy l’ . .. ‘For whom ?’ asked the omcer, while a contemptuous sneer rested upon his lips. The old man heard this appeal of his son, and as the last words dropped from the lips of his capto‘r, he raised his head and While ‘a look of the utmost defiance passed over his features, he exclaimed, ‘Ask no faVorn, Robert, Old John Kintonk can die as Well now as any time '; let them do their worst l’ ‘What i’ eielai'meti the hay, whiie a tear started from his trembling lid, ‘is there not one, eVen, who can pity ?‘ . ‘Up with him !’ shoutea the Captain. Robert buried his face in his hands, and the next moment his father was swinging at the yard~arm. He heard the passing rope and the creaking block, and he knew that he was fatherku. It was towards night on the .2lst of September, 1834, a war-brig, ’wthlI had been fitted out for the suppression of smuggling, was lazily creeping along over the heavy, motionless sweltgjuiat o'ff the coast of Galway; and on her deck was being enacted a scene of more than common interest. The day before she had captured a ‘small heat laden twith contraband articles, together With an old man and a boy who had charge of them ‘; and the Captain of the brig, whose name was Dracutt, had ordered that the. old amuggler should be put in irons. To this indignity the Old than made a stout resistance, and, in the heat of the moment, he had so far forgotteh himself as to strike the “Captain a blow which laid him upon the deck. Such an insult to an English officer was past endurancq and in punishment for his ofl'ence the smuggler had been condemn- ed to die. Then turning to Captain Dracott, he changed his tone for one of deep sup- plicatiom ‘Do Mint ‘yon please with me, air, but do not harm my boy, for In has done no wrong. I am ready for your sentence, and the Sooner you finiah it the better.’ In obedience to this order the men ranged themselves along the deck, and each one laid hold of the rope. Robert Kintock looked first at his father, then he ran his c‘yes along the line of men who were to be his executioners. But not one sympathizing or pitying look could he trace. Their faces were all hard and cold, and they all seemed anxious to coh_siimmate their murderous worl‘r. ‘Lay bald of the whip,’ abouteé the Captain. ‘Lay hold, every man of you, and stand by to run the villain 'up.’ Haif an hour afterwards the boy hue“. by the side of a ghastly ‘coi-pse, add a simple prayer escaped his lips. Then another low, mun-mating 3011011 Came fi'p from his bosom ; but none of those who stood around. knew its import. It was a pledge of deep reVenge. THE l’llflT’S REVENGE. J flat as the old man’s body slid from the gang-board into the Witter, a Vivid flash of lightning streamed throflgh the heavens, and in another instant the dread artillery of natnfe aunt forth a roar so long and 10nd that the men actually placed their hands to their ears to shut out its deafening power. Robert Kintock started at the sound, and what had caused dread in others’ hesoxhafient a thrill of satisfaction to his own. ‘Ob, revenge! retehge I" he mnfiiei‘ed to himself, as be case his eyes We? the foam-éfcated waves, whiéh had already risen beneath the potter of the Sudden storm.

The wind had now reached its height, and with its giant power it set the ill- fated brig direct] upon the surf-hound shore of rocks and i‘éefs ; and eye» face, save one, was blanched with fea'i'. In vain did they try to lay the brig to the wind, not a sail would hold for an in- ‘stant', hntii, at length the men managed to get up a fore and. storm-stay-sail‘, and then the brig stood for a short time 153-57er tip against the heaving sea.â€" But it was evident that, e'ire'n should she succeed in keeping to the wind, she must eventually be driven ashore, for the power oithe in-‘s’ettin'g WaVes was great- er than that of the Wind. “Yes, sir,’ answered the 303*, While a strange fight shot from his eyes. ‘Light, ho !’ shouted a man forward“; and the next moment, all eyes were 31- i'écted no '3 5H2“. light. whi'éh had s’ud- amly afihed up among die fifetunt rockb. ‘Boy, do a fifi’d'iv what that-light is?’ asked t'b Captain, as he stood holding 6% to the main rigging to keep his seat. ‘Yes, sir,’ replied Robert; ‘it in Halo lymore’ a Crag.’ ‘What 19 it there for ?’ ‘It marks the en'tra'n'ce to a little hjar- bor, air, which lies at the back of it.’ ‘Can it he entered by a ves‘s‘ei of this size?’ asked the Captain, while a g'léam of hope shot across his face. ‘Oh, yes, air. A large ship can enter ther’e.’ ‘Do yogi know the passage ?’ ‘Yes, air; 1 hm spent my whole life on this coast, aha I Bibi ’e’irery tum in it.’ The brig was soon put before the wind, and Robert Kintock statiohed himself upon the starboard fore-yard arm, from whence his orders were pass- ed along to the helmsman. The bound- ing yeasel soon came within sight of the rugged kings, and the heart of every man leaped with fearful thrills as they were swept past a frowning rock, which almost grazed them as they passed. On flew the brig and lhi‘éh‘er and more fear- ful became the {"O‘clxs, Which raised their heads on bVéi‘y side. ‘Port l’ shouted the boy; ‘Port, it is.’ ‘Steadyâ€"so.’ ‘Steady, it is.’ FStarboardbquielt ll ‘Aye, aye, starboard, it is." ‘Steadyâ€"so.’ ‘Steady, it is.’ At this moment the brig silrept bu past ah orerh'a'nging elifi', and just as a Vivid flash of lightning shot through the heavens and revealed all the hoi‘i‘ors around, a loud sheet has heard from the young pilot, and in a mothent all eyes Ware turned tonards him. He stood upon the extreme end of the yard, and held himself by the lift. In a mo- ment more he crouched down like a tiger after its prey, and then, with one leap, he reached the projecting rock. 'Bevenge! Rennie!" fiaavall that the doomed than Beth]; and they Were swept away into the boiling 81!ng beyond. "Will you do it,’ eagerly aakmi the Captain: ‘On tfiro ‘é’oh'c'lition‘szl’ ‘Name thet'n', Quickly} ‘The first is, that you let me go in peace; and the next; that you trouble none of the smugglers, should they hap- pen to be there.’ ‘I promise,’ said the Captain; ‘and now set about your Wci‘k. But mark me, if you deceive me, by St. George, I ll shoot you that vary moment.’ But ’twas too late l Ere the helm was half up, a low, tremendous grating of the hrig’s keel was distinctly felt, and the next instant came a crash which sounded high above the roar of the ele- ments, and the heavy masts went sweep ing any to leettafd, followed in a few moments by large masses of the ill fated vessel’s wreck and cargo. Shriek after shriek went up from the doomed men, but they were in the grasp of a power that knows no mercy. The Storm King took them all for his own. "Breakeh! a rear !" Bfif'e'améfi the man forward. ‘Starbosraâ€"Quick !’ ‘Can you uk‘é the Brig in there in this storm ?’ The next mornlng, a small party of wreckers came down from the rocks and moted along the shore. It was strew- ed with fragments of the Wreck, and here and there there scattered along the bruised and mutilated forth: of the brig’s crew.

Every one knewe that old Sir Robert Peel, father of the late Prime Minister of England and grandfather of the pre sent Baronet, made his money by cotton spinning. 1n the early part of his career his business was not remarkably exteniilre; hiit suddenly he made a tremen’d'o‘tia start, and Swan dieta'n’c'ed all his rivals. he 'grew immensely rieh,as we all know, but we do not all know the lucky accident to Which he was indebt- ed for all his enormous wealth. The gi'éat desideiahiifl fiat to lied out some plan of preventing this clog- ging by the cotton; and Sir Robel't, or Mr. Peel, as he was then called, 's’p'ent vast sums in experiments. He employ- ed some of the ablest mééhiniits in the kingdom, among them J antes Wettmbo suggested various corrections; but spite of all they could do the ineo’ui'ehlenbe remained, the cotton would adhere to the bobbins, and the evil appeared to be insurmountable. Tho than 'W’as Watched, bfit an to no purpoao; his fellow workmen tried to "pump” him, but they couldn’t; at last. Mr. Peel lent for the man into his pri- Vate office.

That indeed wa‘é the great secret.â€" Dick had been in the habit of furtively chalking his bobbins, which Simple con trivance had effectually prevented the adherence er the cotton. As the bob bins were white; the chalking had escap e‘d detec'ti'c'n. Mr. Peel was a eagaeione man, and saw through the affair at a glance. He at once patented the invention, had ‘chalking machinery contrived, and neon tool: the lead in the cotton spinn- ing department. This was the founda- tion of his princely fortune. It is but right to add that he penaioned off Dick han‘dis‘di'nel}.

The latter consists of 37 barrels and carriage, and is similar in 'principle to the “ infernal machine” of which the French have now several bat- teries in the field.
