THE GIPSY'S PROPHECY.
An Austrian officer, Baron Von
W
-, who served in the last war
against the Turks, in the Scekler
Hussars, resided a few years at
A . lie took delight in speak
ing ot tlie various extraordinary
events which occurred m the
course of his campaigns. The f bl
owing story is given in the words
in which the baron himself related
it:
In the spring of the year, 1788,
6et out from Miclos-Var, in
Transylvania, for the purpose of
conducting some recruits to my
regiment, then stationed In the
neighborhood of Olsowa. In a vil-
age near the army lived a Gipsy
woman, who iollowed the trade ot
sutler. My new soldiers, who
were very supersutious, asked her
to tell them their fortunes ; I ridi
culed them, and, laughing heartily,
piesented my nana to the lortune-
teller.
uThe twentieth-of August!"
said she to tne, with a significant
ook, and without adding a sylla
ble. I wished for an explanation,
but she repeated the same words :
and as I was going away, she
again cried out to me in the same
tone, w The twentieth of August !"
t may easily be conceived that
this date was impressed upon my
memory. -
We reached the army, the fa
tigues and dangers of which we
shared. ' It is generally known that
in vthis war the Turks took no
prisoners. ' Their officers . set the
price of a ducat upon each"bead
brought to the camp. The Janis
saries and Spahis neglected no op
portunity or earning this reward.
his arrangement proved particu-
arly fatal to our advanced posts.
Scarcely a night passed but the
tfrks came in superior numbers
in quest of heads. . The excursions
were conducted with such secrecy
and dispatch that they were seldom
unsuccessful, and often at day
break the camp was found guarded
only by headless trunks. The
nnce of Coburg determined to
send every night strong pickets of
cavalry beyond the line of videttes,
to protect them. - The pickets were
composed of from one hundred to
two liundred men ; but the Turkish
to
General, enraged at seeing his peo
ple disturbed at their trade, dis
patched still stronger deta'chments
against our pickets, which pro
cured them a. much larger profit.
The service of the pickets thu9 be
came so dangerous that when a
person was sent upon it he ar
ranged his afl'airs.before he set out.
Such was the state of things in
the month of August. Some ac
tions hal not changed the position
of the army. About a week be
fore the twentieth, the Gipsy wo
man, of whom I had often purchas
ed provisions, "made her appear
ance. She entered my tent, and
entreated me to-leave her a re'g?rcy
in case I should perish on the day
Bne nau predicted; and ottered to
engage, in case I should survive it,
to make me a present of a basket
of Tokay wine. This wine was
very rare in the army. I thought
the woman silly. In my profes
oiuu, u speeuy ueaui was oy no
means improbable, but I had no
reason for expecting to die precise
ly on the 20th of August. I wa
gered two horses and fifty ducats
against the old woman's Tokay
wine, and the auditor of the
i. "it . i
mem, nuu wiuiuui smiling, com
mitted the agreement to writing.

were to precede me. The evening
came, and as the hussars were
about to depart, the surgeon an
nounced to the general that the of
ficer appointed to the picket had
fallen' dangerously ill. The officer
who was next in turn before me
was ordered to take his place, lie
hastily dressed himself, and pre
pared to join his men, but his
horse, a good tempered and fine
animal, suddenly reared, and at
length threw his rider, who had his
leg broken by the fall. It was now
my turn. I set out, but, I confess,
not in my usual good spirits.
I commanded eighty men, and
was joined by one hundred and
twenty belonging to another regi
ment, making in all two hundred.
Our stations were about a thou
sand paces in front of the right
wing, and were supported by a
marsh covered with very high
reeds. We had no sentinels in ad
vance, and none of us dismounted.
We had orders to keep our sabres
drawn and carabines loaded till day
break. All was quiet for an hour
and three-quarters, when we heard
a noise, and shouts of " Allah"! Al
Jahl" and in an instant all the
horses of the front rank were over
thrown, either by the sudden fire
or the shock of from seven to eight
hundred Turks. They lost as many
on tneir side, both by the impetu
osity of their charge and the fire
from our caibines. They knew the
ground perfectly well; we were
surrounded and defeated. They
oiten hred at random. I received
many sabre wounds, as well from
friends as from foes ; my horse was
mortally wounded ; he fell upon
my right leg, and kept me down
upon the bloody sand. The flashes
of pistols threw some light upon
the carnage. I looked up and saw
our party delending themselves
with the courage of .despair : but
the Turks, intoxicated with opium.
made a horrible massacre. There
was soon not a single Austrian but
was extended on the ground. The
conquerors seized the horses which
were yet serviceable, plundered
the dead and wounded, and then
cut off ther heads and put them in
to sacks, which they had brought
expressly for that purpose. My
situation was not very enviable.
in the hzelker corps we were pret
ty well acquainted with the Turk
ish language. I heard then urge
one another to finish before assist
ance arrived, and to not leave a
ducat behind: adding that there
could not be fewer than two hun
dred of us. Hence, it is evident
they were well informed. Whi'e
they passed and repassed over me,
my horse gave a convulsive move
ment, and my leg became disen
gaged. I determined to conceal
myself among the reeds of the
marsh. I had only twenty paces
go, but was apprehensive of
sinking in the mud. I leaped over
men and horses, however, and up
set more than one Turk. They ex
tended their arms to seize me, and
cut at me with their sabres ; but
my good fortune enabled me to
reach the marsh, where I sank no
deeper than my knees. -I heard a
Turk cry out, "An Infidel has es
caped ; let us go in quest of him."
Others replied, M He could not have
gone into the marsh." I know not
how long they rsmained, but I
heard no more. I fainted from the
loss of blood, and continued insensi
ble for 6everal hours ; and when I
recovered my faculties, the sun
was already high.
I was immersed in mud to my
hips. My hair stood on end when
I recollected the occurrence of the
night, and the 20th of August was
one of my first thoughts. I count
ed eight sabre cuts on my arms,
breast, and back, none of which
were dangerous As the nights in
summer are cool in that country, I
Wore a very thick pelisse, which

i was very weak". The Turks had
long since departed. I heard from
time to time the groans of the
wounded horses. As to the men
the Turks had disposed of them.
In an hour I succeeded in extri
eating myself. The track 1 had
made served to direct me. Al
though a war against the Turks
blunts all sensibility, I felt an emo
tion of horror, all alone as I was,
when 1 looked out from among the
reeds. I advanced, the field of car
nage met my eye ; but how can I
describe my terror on feeling mv-
sen suuuenjy seized by the arm
I beheld an Arnaut, six feet high,
who, doubtless, had returned to see
if there was not something worth
picking up. Was ever hope more
cruelly disappointed if
I addressed him in the Turkish
language : " Take my money, my
watch, my uniform, but do not kill
me." " All those things belong to
me," he said ; " and your head in
the;bargaiu." In vam I supolica
ted for my life, but he persistently
refused. As he was preparing to
cut off my head, I felt something
naru in his girdle, which proved to
be an iron hammer. He told me
to M Be quiet 1" and these probably
would have been, the last words I
should have ever heard, had not
the horror of such a death impell
ed me to snatch the hammer, which
he did not observe. He already
held my head with one hand, and
his cutlass was in the other, when,
by a sudden motion, I disengaged
my8elt, and, without losing an in
stant, struck at his face with the
hammer, with all my force. The
Arnaut staggered. I repeated the
blow, and he fell, at the same time
dropping his weapon. I need not
observe that I immediately seized
it and pi unged it deep into his body.
1 now hastened towards our ad
vanced posts, whose arms I could
see glittering in the sun. The men
fled before me as from a spectre.
The same day I was seized with a
violent fever, and was taken to the
hospital. In six weeks I recovei
ed, and returned to the army. On
imy arrival, me oiu uipsy woman
(brought me the Tokay wine : and I
learned lrom others that, during
my absence, several precise pre
dictions A been verified, which
procured her consultations and leg
acies. - This seemed to be very ex
traordinary.
A short time afterwards, two de
serters from the Turks joined us,
ana when they saw the Uipsy wo
man they recognized her, andin
formed us that she was a spy, and
that it was through her the Turks
were enabled to inflict so much
damage upon our pickets. She was
tried, found guilty, and executed
a9 a spy.
Previous to her execution she
confessed that Bhe had selected me
for her victim on the 20th of Au
gust in order to establish her repu
tation as a fortnne-teller. She also
confessed that, from a conversation
with our officers, she ascertained
that two were to precede me. She
gave the first adulterated wine,
which made him sick ; and as to
the other officer, she contrived, just
as he was about to set out, to in
troduce a piece of burning sponge
into one of the nostrils of his horse.

THE GIPSY'S PROPHECY. A Case of Conscience---A Lawyer
With Conscientious Scruples.
With Conscientious Scruples. [From the Danville (N. Y.) Express.]
we have lately heard a capita
story connected with a prominen
lawyer of our village, who has dia
tinguished himself in the defence
of criminals, as well as in connec
tion with other trials, having fre
quently, through his skill, aided
the most hardened criminals to es
cape from justice. Some time ago,
While our Irrend 'was attendin
court in an adjoining county, he
was applied to by a singular speci
men oi Humanity, charged with
grand larceny, to defend him. The
lawyer very naturally inquired
what crime he was accused of.
1 he party accused replied that
somebody had been mean enough
to charge him with stealing one
hundred and fifty dollars in bank
notes, and had got him indicted.
"Are you guilty?" asked the
lawyer.
"That's none lof your business,"
replied the accused. "They tay
that makes no difference with you,
whether a man is guilty or not, you
will contrive to dig him out in
some way." So don't talk any more
about the guilt till you hear what
the jury says."
"Well, what about the pay ?" said
the lawyer. ,
"You just hold on till the trial i3
over; giveL (the complainant)
h 11 on the cross-examination, and
that other lellow lie has got to back
him up, and you'll have no trouble
about the pay."
lhe trial commenaed and proved
to be a somewhat protracted and
exciting one. The District Attor
ney proved that the money in
question was composed of fwo$50
bills on a certain bank,nnd the re
mainder all in 10 bills, all of
which were wrappod up in a piece
of snk. The jury, after listening
to the counsel in the case, and re
ceiving the charge of the Judge,
retired, and soon returned with a
verdict of not guilty. The ac
cused, who was greatly elated with
the result of the trial and the ef
fort of his council, invited the lat
ier into one oi me vacant jury
rooms. As Boon as they were
alone, he slapped his counsel on
the shoulder, and exclaimed:
"Free as water, ain't I ? What's
the use of trying a man lor steal
ing when you're around? Now I
suppose you want pay ?"
"les ; have you got any thing to
pay with ?" said the lawyer.
"Lend me your knife and weTU
see about that."
The lawyer, slightly startkd at
such a proposition, rather reluct
antly complied. The accused im
mediately commenced ripping and
cutting away at the waistband of
his pantaloons, and soon produced
tne roil ot bills lor the stealing ol
which he lnd just been tried, wrap
ped up in tne identical piece of oil
silk described by the witnesses for
the prosecution, and throwing it
down on the table before the as
tonished lawyer, exclaimed:
"There, take your pay out of that;
guess there is enough to pay you
tolerably well." . i:.
" Why, you villain ! vou stole
that money after all," said the law
yer. uo you expect 1 can take
any of that money ?"
"btole that money! Why, what
are you talking about? Didn't
them twelve men up stairs there
just say I didn't steal ? What's the
use of your trying to raise a ques
tion of conscience after twelve re
spectable men have given their
opinion on the subject? Take your
pay out of that and ask no ques
tions. Don't be modest in taking;
got it easy enough, and you've
worked hard enough for it."
Our informant did not state how
much the lawyer took, but we pre
sume the chap didn't have much
change left after our friend had
satisfied his "conscience" in the
premises.
A gentleman in California hav
ing made a lady a present of a pair
of pistols, after several trials of
skill, they concluded to go through
the forms of a duel. They took
their positions, fired at the word,
and, to the terror of the lady, the
gentleman fell. She threw herself
frantically upon the corpse, em
bracing and kissing it with every
emotion of endearment. Under
such magical influence the gentle
man revived, and rose unhurt from
the ground, and and they are to
be married.
The height of patience is a deaf
man waiting to hear the ticking of

Conscience Lord Erskine was
distinguished though life for inde
pendence of principles and for
scrupulous adherence to truth. He
once explained the rules of his
conduct, which ought to be deeply
engraven on every heart. He said:
"It was a first command and council
of my earliest youth to do what my
conscience told me to be a duty,
and leave the consequence to God.
I shall carry with me the memory,
and I trust the practice.of this pat
ernal lesson to the grave. I have
hitherto followed it, and have no
reason to complain that my obedi

A funny story is going the
rounds in Paris: A lady in the first
society was recently obliged to dis
miss her nurse on account of ex
cess of firemen and private soldiers
too olten repeated. After chosing
as a successor to this criminal a
very pretty girl, the lady, explain
ing why the first was sent away,
enjoined it on the second not to do
likewise. She admitted that she
should't. "I can endure a great
deal," said the lady, "but 6oldiers
about the kitchen I won't endure."
After week or eight days, the lady
came one morning into the kitchen,
opened a cupboard, and discovered
a youthful military character. "Oh,
ma'am!" cried the girl, frightened,
"I give you my word I never saw
that soldier before in my life he
must have been one of the old ones
