WIL L. -0 A STORY THAT WAS HUSHED UP. -0 In the year eighteen hundred and nineteen, I was housekeeper to my Lord Millamant. I The story I am telling you has to do with t e winter of that same year. A bitter winter was. Frosts three weeks long, and a delu of mud whene-er there was a thaw. Coal bred, and meat frightfully dear. The p crying out fit to make your heart break, a the taxes as heavy as hard dumplings. Oi taxes were paid for us, thank goodness, eve to that on the hair powder with which th footmen plastered their heads. We were a well fed and well cared for, for my Lord Mill mant was for too proud and rich a noblema to put us on board wages when he went ou of town, and always said that he liked to se his servants plump and rosy. It didn't matte to him how much the butcher's and baker' bills came to. He had immense estates i Darkshire, and two or three comfortable thin they used to call sinecures in those days; b sides, wasn't there his wife, the late Mis, Jr. hire's rich Indian fortune ? My Lord Millamant had been away fro London during hinting season. He had pack Jf hound atCtful HalLth, 4mil nade was Car bi)Darlihire, 'and hAd entertaining all the goutry of the country si with many of the nobility from London, i the true style of old English hospitality. the grand furniture in the mansion on H Hill had been covered up since Septembe when his lordship and her ladyship went o of town. The carpets in the grand saloon were rolled up; the chandeliers wrapped 1 ellow gauze; the pictures the same-drea Fl grim old pictures there were, of nobleme in curly wigs, and ladies in hoop petticoa and shockingly low dresses-and the rie ilver and parcel gilt plate of which my Lor Millamant, being so great a nobleman, had rast quantity, was safe and sound, in Co :hests elamped with iron at Messrs. Doublo rd Mo3 dor's the bankers in Fleet street ; was a good plan to send one's silver to ankers, for there were plenty of housebrea - trs about in those days, and no police, exce he wheezy old constables, and the Bow-st red 'waiscoats. It was on the 21st of Dece mber, 1819, th tour humble servant received a post lette ranked by Mr. Tubwell, one of the coun members for Darkshire, for my Lord Mill nant was always too generous with his fran md never had any to spare for himself. T etter was from his lordship, and, in his usu ind style, though to my very great surpri old me that he and the countess were comi ip to spend Christmas in London. All t ime I had been in their service, then fo ears come that Chritmas day, they had ke t at Cartfoil flail. However, there was istaking my Lord's directions. He alwa ave them himself, for her Ladyship, savi er memory, was <n of the laziest creatur iving, and nuvr did anything much beyo ying on a sofa, and t alking to her grey a er green p iot. I was to have the eurp aid donn, the furniture thoroughly dust , il tae 1 eds well aibedl; for my Lord was to ring company with him from Darkshire, and, [ was to get the plate fr.2m the bankers, and ave it all well cleaned for a gyand banquet t niy Lord intended to give on Christmas day. a:closed in the lette: was a slip of patpe.r con. ainiig :n o~di r to the bankers to deliver the I late to me, or to Mr. B~etswing, the butler; ad whi -h, ::s far as I can recollect ran thus: CAaRrof. HA.J., December 19th, 1819. eirs. 1:oublon and Moydor, h Pkase deliver the four boxes marked A, B, 3, I), containing the plate left in your care, o Ms.-, or Samuel Beeswing, my0 ervants, bearers of this. (Signed) h Mz:..a.:Arr. ta There was his Lordship's signature, cr- b ~aily; hut somehow the name seemed writ. a en in a larger and mmle tremulous hand han usual. The i's weren't dotted, nor the t~ .'s crossed in his Lordship's general style, but itill the remain Ier of the le:tter Was like ~nough to him, and the cover bore the Unmrt- fl oil postmark. I shiowe. it t> Mr. Beeswing, b ho laugl.ed ait my doubts, could swear the v andwriting was my Lord's throughout, and a aid it was vt ry likely that there had been b merry doings at Cartfoil Hall during the b week, that my Lord had taken t'other bottle b avernight, and that his hand was rather shaky s the next morning. t " And you may be sure," added Beeswing, that his lordship punished the small beer, p if he did have t'uither bottle." The quality g drank small beer then,, the morning after. Sodawater was invented, but was thought bad for the stomach, and wasn't at all the [shion. t However, notwithstandin Eeeswing's coi Idence in 4the letter,,,waw-it ue waisfto 3eeswing," I said, " but it behoves us all t >e careful. I shall take this letter to Wil Ar. Will. He knows my Lord's hand wel mnough, and I shall see what he says to it." Now, Wild Mr. Will, as wo servants, man if whem had known him since he was a bab n long.clothes, called him, was to the worl a general no other than the Honorable Wi iam Cartfoil, my Lord's younger brother. H was a dreadfully wild young man, Mr. Wil le was fond of wine, and women, and die( mid all sorts of wickednesses. He had bee captain in the Horse Guards, but had sol >ut. He had fought -s-.es of duels, an tilled two or three people; rest their sou nd be merciful to his ; but he was one of th nerriest, - best-tempered fellows you evQ inew or saw. My Lord was very fond of hin 6ud had paid his debts and set him up agair nime out of number; but you could do noth ng with Wild Mr. Will. He was always ge ing into scrapes; and when his lordship ha ,ot him out again, getting into new onei ?eople said he lived mostly now by playin it cards and dice, and that his carryings-oi with the actresses at the play-house-th ricked, painted hussies !-were dreadful. mow he had borrowed money of Beeswin nore than once, and had, at least, two-third if his sister-in-law's pin money, every quar er; but still no one could help liking hin 6nd he was almdat adored4the serviants. I took the letter to Wild Mr. Will at.hi odgings in Great Ryder-street, St. James'i .Ie was drinking hock with a captain of dra oons and a low wretch of a fellow that go is living by prize-fighting, but he came ou in the landing to speak to me. I showei ith a face as white as chalk. "or the Lord Almighty's sake come thiu y," he cried. He led, or dragged me to the boudoir or ie first-floor, and there I saw a sight I shall ever to my dying day forget. The rich car et was dabbled in blood, and oni it there laj is length along the bodly of a man, stark .if f. and dead. His throat had been literaigi ruj out by the dog, which crouched by hi, de, uttering a low growl now and then, anc eking his lips: In one of the dead mnan's bands was a bunci E skeleton keys. One of the plate-chestJ ad been opened, and a portion of the con mnts were on the floor. The men-servant ent over the body to rauise it, when there was cry of horror anal astonishment. God forgive him, and us I We recognizec ic bod; of the Honorable William Cartfoil. * * * * * It was dise.>vered afterwards that the lette, -m the country was a forgery, executed, pro ably, by thie unfortunate and guilty man 'ho had (lied inl this miserable manner. I as found that he haid made his entry by t ack door leading into the mews, of whieh e must have had a key, and creeping up a ack stair-case, had entered the boudoir by de door lhe knew well, had been beard by me dog, an~d so perished. The story was hushed up, and it was re orted and believed that young Mr. Will had one abroad, and died there. The Millamant title is extinct. " Do'r rob yourself," as the farmer said Somb l1wye wo called him hard names. -the last was twenty-nine years old, t Ifirst was twenty-five.

' Among the buccaneers were adventurers Swho acted, in some degree, from principle. Many conscientiously deteusted s the o people*'ott account~~of tbteirlrdfoAI., cruelties toward the Indidne. Irotundent them they believed they weraoly despoil ing the robbers of that tohich they had tno legal claim, and in. Wi'uring them, that t they were avenging.tu atrocities of Pizarro and Cortes; and Ar from considering their anyions as crime; deesteemed them not Serely honoble bu just. But thepirateswho suc ceeded thom, were of a more ruffianly caste, and had 'no other motive for their rapacity than sensual indulgence ; while they were equally distinguished by their tumultuous and licentious conduct, by their oppobite qualities of caution and rsess, idleness an energy, negligeuce and vigilance, by the ir aversion to all restraint, and by their want o( fixed hae no a definite line of conduct: Possessed of the bravery of their predecessors, they often fought as if the ihdividual charac ter and interest of each were at stake-which, indeed, forned the life and spur of these as sociations; but they were utterly destitute of the ambition of renown, strangers to glory, and actuated solely by the live of transitory gratification. These pirates contnued of tir he Ameri- I can seas for a considerable time after the commencement of the last century, Fnd prey ed upon the trade of every country. The tn acarried on there by various nations, formed the focus of attractio to those lawless desperadoes; for, busides being a great fiedi of robbery, the various islets and shallow creeks afforded them safe retreats from pur suit, as well as aboutding in turtle, fish, water, and other rereshments. Theirfavorite station wa among the Lucayos, or Bahama Island, which, though the first hiscovery of Columbus, had been desolated by the bar barian Spaniards, and then aTbandoned after carrying oilf the aboriginals to perpetual slave ry in the mines of Hlispaniola. The incident which has furnished tbe par ticular facts of this little sketch, was authen ticated by an old Mason over eighty years old, and who frequently related the story, ,which was one of the principal motives that induced him to become a member of the Fraternity of Free and accepted Masons. He says in the year 1796 he shipped as a lad on board a vessel called the Rover, be longing to St. John's, owned by Hugh John son, Esq., and commanded by James Holly, and bound to the Bay of Honduras, from Kingston to the island of Jamaica. To wind ward in the east, the deep blue of the sky had begun to be broken by the faintest of1 light, while before its pale silvery line ox grey, the herald of the day's approach, the stars seemed counselling the night to with draw. In the midst of this deep gleam he beheld a darkc mass uprearing itself. The general cry was " That's a pirate ship I" With the most beautiful eff'ect which it is possible to conceive, a sudden gleam of flame bursting from its base, seemed to spread itself over the whole apace of the sea and sky ; the plunging of a shot about half a mile to wind ward, and the heavy sullen sound succeeding, announced that our pursuer had commenced firing. Looking on the instant, toward the quarter deck, to see how this summons would bo received by captain Holly, we saw him1 standing by the wheel, with upturned eyes, momentarily expecting to ree some of his spars go overboard, or it might have been,I cogitating for some new resource against ap proaching fate. IFor a quarter of an hour after the first gun, no further notice was taken of them than by her continuing to bear gradually down. AtI the end of this time, one, two, three successive flashes again lit up the scene around with uncommon grandeur and beauty ; nor was that all ; the -flash was succeeded by a sud den tear, and crack went some of the canvas aloft, rending it into strips. He looked up ;. a ball had passed through theq leach of the, weather fore-topmast studding sail, and the wind following up the miischief which the shot had begun, in two seconds reduced the whole trags. The captain regarded the spectacle with a look of mingled courage and despair. He uttered no word, but stooping down to hide his countenance, he putted the head of his large Newfoundland dog which was laying at his feet, while he directed the helmsman to take the poor creature below~ and tie her up out of the way of those devil's messengers -meaning the shots ; after which little traitI Iof kindns he took the steerage into his own hands, and cried out : " All hands shorten sail!I Aft here, Roberts, and hoist the flgof distress."I The studding sails were now by his orders s.cc-siv1l taken in, and top-gallant sails j up,-when f shmp's canvabei'nmg suffi dWurA 1 aulld ove e emaintopsail back. After t.is iealled his mate aft, and.gave some orders, rich the latter executed. The pirate ship, rith tie black flag, bearing upon it the skull ud'cross-bones, came rapidly up toward the lovez; nor since her last summons bad she fred mnother gun. The moon, which occa ional'r beamed out from the dense clouds hat da-kened the scene, shone full upon the lavage "brms of the pirates, and accorded with the wild gloom that surrounded them md disclsed their vessel. Having the Rover sow prett safe in their clutches, they sur rised, ovirpowered, and captured them in Ilmost as Jhort a time as it took him to re late the s6ry. All hands were immediately taken on loard the privateer, the vessel and rew plurdered, and every man put in irons, each awailng with deep despair his impending loom. Captain Holly had displayed great courage pnd uncomillo'n bravery when the ship was, rdedl. Xe flew to the gangway where he ad stationed the mate, who was opposing e entrance of the pirates, and thrusting at he seamen with all his strength, the blow urled one of the pirates back in his boat; eat the same time knocked down two of Ae boatmen who were springing up to their aptain's assistance. It was at this juncture bat all were made prisoners except Captain doly, who was - having a struggle with the ' thr-aptain: T~o striiggle-seemed,e owever, to terminate almost as suddenly as commenced. By the reflection of the moon ;ght everything could be observed that was oing on upon the quarter-deck. After a ort pause they approached each other, their es lit up with smiles, exchanged some signs, nd at last they were locked hand in hand I He, as well as the others, could only ima ine that they had recognised in each other ome long lost friend, or that they were irothers who had been separated for years nd now accidentally tuet. Both crews look. _on with surprise-with one it was mingled ith intense joy-with the other extreme lisappointment. Few words were exchanged -but the strong ties of masonry were held acred by the robber on the seas. His next at was to undo what he had done-the risoners were released, all the seized proper y was returned, and the vessel delivered over o Captain Holly. Those who a few hours .efre stood in relation to each other as the reatest of enem:es, now embraced several imes, and separated themselves with the ,reitest reluctance. It is hardly necessary o state that they were Brother Masons. When the true cause of this occurrunce was u plained, the old gentleman and all his ship a es resolved to become Free Masons the w afterward. Masonry has a language by which - men of ill nations, kindred and tongues are united n one band (f brotherhood. To specify the Advantages which have resulted to individuals Lnd to the community from the institution, vould be but to give a panicular history of it 'rom its first establishment to the present lay. How often has its benign influence relieved he way-worn traveler, and sent him on his ray rejoicing; how often has the shipwrecked nariner owed his salvation from a watery ;rave to the grand hailing sign of distress *hich has spoken to his faithful brethren on he shore louder than the wind and the raves ! Nay, even in the din of batths~, the irst joy of the combat, when ferocity rages mc mercy sighs farewell, has the spirit of dasonry interposed, stayed the uplifted abre, and spared the blood of tl'e prostrate rictim.

I consider people who make sport of an old man's shabby clothes, destitute of feeling and d worse than the heathen. Who could be guilty of calling the blush of resentment to a e wrinkled cheek ? the quiver of grief to a withered lip ? the tear of sorrow to a faded d eye; washed of its brilliancy by floods of tears ? M Never, ncer laugh at the scanty garments b of the poor. Poverty has a strong tide of a sorrow to stem, and a frail bark to guide at the best. It has dashed so often against the rocks that it hardly holds together. Sink it not with your unkindness. - Sneer not at the old clothes. They are often made holy by long sacrifices ; by careful foldings away that they may last till the dear ones are provided for.' If many an old coat could speak, what tales would they tell of the d noble hearts beating underneath. Yonder rusty garment would repeat the struggles of a devoted father, whose son is earning laurels at the college hard by. How he counted the farthings, and choked down pricte, that his boy, his noble, beloved boy, might yet do him honor. That faded shawl, folded tightly over spare g shoulders. Year after year has the mother cleansed and mended and laid it carefully , away, as (she called it) "good as new," that s her blue-eyed datgghter might kave ", book: I larning."1 And now her darling,only eighteen, t teaches the district -chool-God bless her and the mother einiles over the dim, dusky- t patterned ribbon and prim old merino that were cleaned up to enable her to buy Bessy a pretty bonnet, and a dress such as she de. served. Oh! that blessed self-denial of aspiring poverty ! Hallowed be old bonnets, old cloaks, old coats, aye, and old shoes, when such love points to them as its monuments. More than one bright and shining light, let me tell you, owes its brilliancy to old a clothes; more than one star in literature, philosophy and divinity. Think of this when your eye chances to light upon the thread-bare coat, or the faded V shawl ; suppress the smile, keep back the sneer. You know not what the heart be- v neath has suffered, how many times bled: You know not what evil has haunted, what e storms swept over it. You know not what God-like impulses have once made it great i and strong, or what blighting mildew sipped in its full vigor. Let not the crime of adding anguish to the full cup of the poor man's sorrow be ever yours. r - 0 + A Bright Boy. t We never read the scene in Henry IV., where Falstaff and Prince Henry exchanged characters, witboat thinking of Tiiihilarie said to have occurred in an ancient parsonage a great while ago. The Rev. Mr. Regulus f was an excellent man, rather eccentric and somewhat economical. Jonas, a farmer's boy, used sometimes to go with presents to the parsonage, a sharp-eyed little fellow, but 1 rather uncouth in his manners. One day he t brought in a leg of mutton, laid it down l without ceremony, and was making off. "I'll teach that boy a lesson in good man ners,' said Mr. Regulus to his wife. "He needs to have the clown rubbed off a little." ".Jonas !" conme back here a moment'. Don't you know, my fine fellow that you E shouldn't come into a house in this way, without knocking, and with your hat on. Sit down in my arm-chair. Imagine yourself the minister, and Ill come in with the mutton and show you how a boy ought to behave." Jonas sits up gravely in the arm-chair, andt Mr. Re'gulus goes out with the leg of mutton. Enter Mr. Regulus, in the character of Jonas. He takes off his hat, with a low bow. " My father sends his compliments to Mr.t Regulus, and asks his pastor to accept a token of his regard." 4 Jonas, from the arm-chair: "I thank you. Mrs. 1?egulus, jus.t gire that boy anienc.

Thereupon he drewz forth ninety-five cents in change, and handed it over to the grocery-man, and received a regular dollar bill. This satisfactory specu lation, or something else, led our friend into the extravagance of calling for a three centf glass of beer, which was furnished and drank,1 when he drew forth the identical dollar bilhli and tendered it in payment, which was re-t ceived, and ninety-seven cents in changec handed back.

All the historical symptoms of a r Domed dynasty are now manifesting them. I dves in-Vienna. No sovereign can afford to t e at once obstinate and weak. Magenta t 2d Solferino have inflicted an indellible di: race 'upon the arms of Austria. These de ats have made manifest to the world that, heu compiared with France, Austria, ruled I y her present Emperor, is about a second ite power. The prostration of Austriani nancial credit has made pullic the fact that ,ustria is poor. Weak in arms, and poor in Dcket as he is, Europe ltikri anxiously to iscover how this young Emperor, who has f ) difficult a part to play, demeans himsell i i the crisis. History has her great zsen, t rho have made their, famue out of a conjecture f ch-as this. It is a moment when -the general sense of a anger would have allowed a single mind to reak down and to build up. Francis Joseph >r-a while promised to rise equal to the oc aion. When he turned his her.e from that quare tower upon the Solferino height a great uperstition must have bees swept out of hin ead.- That force'2pon which 'Be had been, %ught to rely with implicit onfidence waa roken, and he could never aguin believe it I D be invincible. Unhappily, the conviction has rudely presed upon him e.,uld not be ept a secret. It was shared by the whole I rorld. Italy knows it, and Hu:gary knows It is known to his in'ferior', and It Is udly celebrated by thems; -it is known to is equals, and while politely ignored, is teadily acted upon. England, France and 6ussia cannot but look upon Francis Joseph 5 a struggling man whose kingdom is in dan er of passing away from him. Under these circumstances, the y)ung Em eror seems to combine in himself all the reaknesses of our Charles I, and all the stupid igotry of James 11. If there be anything hich could ride over this cri6is in the for. nes of Austria, it would be the loyal and. nergetic assistance of Hungary. This was nee not very difficult to obtain. The Run arians boast themselves to be the most war ke nation in Europe; they are addicted to rms; they were, moreover, traditionally )yal to the house of Hapsburg, and quite 3ady to expend all their enthusiasm In the ervice of that exacting house. In that na ion Francis Joseph had a great source of iilitary power and the materials for many rmies. dBut his opportunity rested wo conditions.n Hungary is warlike, but she is attached to ree institutions; she is loyal, but she is, to great extent, Protestant. Francis Joseph a despot and a bigot. The difficulty is recisely that which beset our James 11. He, ke Francis Joseph, had to govern a Pro stant and a free people, whose institutions ad been assailed, and whose religious fears ad'been aroused, and be ended by being eered at by shrewd priests as a bimpleton rho lost three kingdoms for a mass. Here, i our day, is an imperial pilgrim traveling in be same path. Hungary is as much attach d to her free institutions as our fathers were. et she has seen them all swept away, and ow lies writhing under a tyranny se heavy at it is even an offense to ask to speak her wn language in her own universities. Hungary is also to a great degree Protes, mt and her protestanisnm is of the most tut ulent and uncompromising character. Tliat alvanism which tolerance is a crime Is rife mong the Hungarians, and now finds itself be subject of persecution. How bas this oung Emperor dealt with this valuable but ifficult portion of his empire ? He has in fet said to it, as was once before said pith a fatal issue: " My father chastised you1 ~ith whips, hut I will chastise you with corpions."~ Instead of restoring the institu ions which had been taken away, Francis oseph has made even petitions for such a estoration a crime. lie has not only pun hed nil agitation for such an object, but he las proscribed all those who indicated any eaning toward a liberal policy for Hungary. Baron Huber was dismissed because he ras favorable to Hungary ; the .4rchduke faxmillian was exiled because ho recoin. mended canceasions to Bungary and the trchduke Stephen haa refused to accept the. prnent of that country because he recoils rem the oppression whIch his instructions rould have compelled him to Inflict. So as to, heir religions He has persectuted the Prca estants till even the Roman Catholic priests ry shame and sympathy with their heretical ountrymen, postponing their bonds of faith a ties of blood. The letters which we pub. ish to day from Peeth and Vienna tell that his insane young man is going on to ruin I rith increasing rapidity at every step. I A deputation from the Protestants of Hun ary had been sent to Vienna to ask for the I estoration of the historical rights and the Id State recognition of the "Evangelical hurch of Hungary ;" to demand the revocas ion of the patent which prescribes the re. red religion, and to attempt to induce the 'mperor to cosnvoke a Protestant Synod. It I ppears that these men, some of whom are 1 f the highest rank, have been refused an dience by the Emperor, and have been dely scolded and sent away from Vienna y his ministers. They are gone back to >Hungary, and as they recount the inei ents of their stay in Vienna, and repeat the uirse wardsI of insult addressed to them bya [. de Rechberg, they are arousing far and ide that formidable religious zeal which the rosecution of the seven bishops created in as country. Thus, instead of Hungary being thestrength SAustria, she has becsme her weakness and er difficulty. Passive resistance and univer L hatred reign silent together thiougbout 6 ue land.
