NORA'S PERIL. CHAPTER II. After breakfast the next morning Colonel De Burgho said, "I shall be glad, Mr. Mervyn, if you can place a day or two at my disposal; I wish to constlt you about my plans for the renovation of my long-deeorted castle, that U to say, I have as yet really formed no plan; what I rather meant to propone was that wc should In spect the premises, and the estate, which Is very considerable in extent, and discuss to gether the best means of making the former habitable, and the latter more productive. From the experience 1 have gathered during my foreign residence, 1 am led to believe that much might be doue to develop It', resources that, I think, Is the correct phatft. A regards the building, it is so vast that to repair the whole of it would be an almost impossible tank for a man of even the largest fortune to attempt; but a Judleious selection may be made, and as I now ccntemplr.te midlug here for the re mainder of my life, I can uot too soon mature some plan, and partially carry It out, before th xviiiter sets in." I replied that nothing would five me greater pleasure than to aesdst him in giving effect to his view s, and that an 1 had traversed every portion of the estate, I could, I felt confident, suggest several was of improving Us value, at no very considerable cost. Thanking me for my compliance with his re quest, Colonel De Burgho said: "Well, then, we will spend to-day in inspect ing the demesne attaehed to the castle; it Is, or was, some three thousand acres in extent, aud my directions to my ncnt on leaving home were to kep it always in baud, which he writes me he has done, although he has latterly press ed me to let off some (tortious which could be prolitibly rented: aud, bv the way," said he, ''I nuiy as well inform you at once of my posi tion w hen I inherited the property, which forms but a fourth part cf the possessions of my an cestors, aud of my present hojics and expecta tions. "I was lorn here," he continued, "and w as my father's only child. My mother died in my ln'funcy, and I may say my only instructors were the good priest of the parUh, and your friend, my former nurse, Mary McGlone,"who uuder my" mother's auspices had, fortunately for me, received a better education than per sons of her class generally acquire. All the kuowledge these kind guardians ot my youth possessed thev imparted to me, ami I grew up Lore, not well educated indeed, but not in ab solute ignorance, till I had reached the years of manhood. "A place like this has great attractions for a youth of vigorous constitution and active pro clivities. I enjoyed the sports of the field and the mole of life pursued by my father, whose house was always full ot giiwsts, to whom he dlspeniied littcrally a rough but abundaut hos pitality. When I had" almost reached rny twenty-first birthdsv, and preparations were being made for celebrating my majority by the usual festivities, my dear father met with an accident in the hunting field, from which he never rallied, and, after a few weeks' severe suffering be died, leaving me sole inheritor of a heavily encumbered estate aud a dilapidated castle. Having paid the last honors to his remains, I took counsel with some old friends of my fam ily, and ihey advised me to sell so much of the property as would discharge the debt, which I very reluctantly agreed to do, as if. involved parting with nearly three-fourths of it. When the sales were effected, I fouud myself owner of a vaM.lv diminished rental aud territory, but released from debt ard the Importunities of creditors, who niudc my father's life numerable; and also free to travel, and see the world while I waa yet young. I bad reason, not many years afterwards, to congratulate my set on having taken this course, for, had I c! :layed, the great deprecia tion in the value of property, resulting from the famine of 1S4, would have ruined me, as it did so many indebted proprietors; what I sold realized good prices, aud left me a respectable remnant of the aucestral estate intact. "While upon this topic," continued the Col onel, "1 may as well observe that, in my opin lon,no more cruel act of parliament ever paescd the legislature thau that called the 'Encumber ed Estates Act,' aud none to winch the aphor ism 'flat cxpcrlmcntuut in corpore ill more truly applies. Sir Hubert I'eel, no doubt, w as a great statesman, but he was a man of appre hensive, nervous political temperament; aud Indeed, all English statesmen ot that era acted upon a 'panic view,' both as regards free trade 1 in corn, and Irish legudatlou ; both these measures were carried by an Impulsive 'spurt.' Against the priuclplc ot cither I do not mean to argue; but they should have tnen more prospective in their opeiatlon. As it was, the unfortunate Irish landlord had at the same time to encouutcr the potato famine and a heavy depreciation In the price of grain and cattle; the English markets, as tho result of the sudden abolition of the corn duties, being at once deluged with unusually large Importa tions of foreign produce. At this Juncture, mortgages, influenced by panic and greed, sud denly foreclosed to an enormous extent, lodged petitions for sale, aud hurried into the market millions of acres in the south and west of Ire land, which are bought up by land speculators, mary of them the petitioning creditors, at half their value. Hundreds of the old families of the country were thus suddenly ousted aud thrown upon the world without a shilling, and where they have all vanished to la incompre hensible. "Had the act been prospective, allowing somo two or three years to elapse before be coming operative, many of tLese unfortunates would now be in my happier position, of hav ing a portion of their estates left to them; but the rry in parliament then was, 'Force the embarrassed proprietors to ell; capitalist will buy them out; settle, improve the country, employ the people, and emigration w ill cease.' This cry was it resistible, backed up as it was by the whole Manchester party, with Peel and Cobden at their head; and many of the old Irish proprietors were swept away, unpltied and unwept. In some few instances capitalists did take their places, but by far the greater number of purchasers were speculators, who at once proceeded to clear the land of popula tion, with the view of reselling at a profit, which many of them have since done. "Sir Robert Peel, as also those who suc ceeded mm, i repeat, were impulsive, sen sational legislators, as retarded their Irteh measures, holding ou to the last to an antiquated and unsound political econ omy, and then giving way in a panic of demonstrative repentance 'coming down by the ran,' and mining hundreds of the lrisn aristocrary ny their reckless prcctpi tanev." 'Your strictures on their policy, Colonel," said I," are very severe." "Not whit too Hcvere," he replied; "and the natural result will supervene their ex ample will be followed by other 'great states men' hereafter, and we shall have crop of sensational, otherwise 'exceptional,' IrglslaUon for Ireland. Some of my relatives were among the sufferers, and I feel so actnely on the sub ject, that you must pardon this long digression. "I wllL now." said Colonel De Burgho. "con tlaue ib j personal narrative. I waa about to mention that I had formed an attachment to a young lad), the daughter of a gentleman iu a neighboring county. 1 was now free to marry, but I shrauk from bringing my bride to a dila pidates home, which 1 had theu not me means oi restoring. After our marriage, which took place some months subsequent to my father's death, I put tun management of my property Into the hand of a gentleman in Dublin, and we went abroad, determined to economize for a few years, and then rcturu to our native country. After two years of unsullied happiness. I hud the mlsfortuue to lose my dear wife, who left me the father of the two daughters whose ac quaintance you have made. I then conceived a repugnance to returning here as a widower, aud, being resolved not to marry again, I de cided to remain abroad and devote my atten tion to their education ; but, not wishing to be without occupation, I procured a commission lu the Sardluiau army, in which I served until I attained my present rank.

I thanked Colou-l Do Burgho for his kind propos.il, and said that I should be most happy to undertake the duties he wished, and,ln fact, before our walk terminated, we concluded au cuiTHgemcut satisfactory to toth.

TO 11 E CONTINUED. A Leper Lands. A frtw day ago a stranger camo ashore at Lewes, Del., from n foreign ves sel. Ho was well dressed and Lis man ner was courteous. Gave a slight limp iu his gait, and an unnatural tinge to hi9 countenance. There was nothing outward to iadicate the prsen.?o of a peculiar malady. Upon reaching the shore he sought out a private and rather secluded boarding place and there he remained, keeping aloof entirely from tho people around him. From Mignifi cant hiuia dropped by several of the crew who brought him hshoro it was whispered about that the stranger was a leper, who for t lie safety of his com rades on shipboard, had been put ashoro to shift for himself. The stranger made no attempt at de nial, but, ou tho contrary, seemed as anxious to avoid tho approach of his neighbors as they were to avoid him. The extravagant stories that went rapid ly from mouth to motyh caused such agitation that a special meeting of the Town Council were decided upon to consider ways and means ' to rid the community "of tho dangerous patient. He admitted to a reporter that the sus- f icions of the people were well founded. Ie was, ho frankly, but sorrowful! v, ad mitted, a leper. lie gave his name as James Alwald, and said he was an Englishman by birth, but up to last summer had been for years a resident of Havana, v here the disease, the irerms of which were latent in his system, developed itself. His impression was that he contracted the inlirmity while at Madagascar, where he aud others olthe crew with whom he was associated were forced to work side bv side with a gang of natives, a number of whom were known to bo diseased. Sometimes the color his skin had assumed would blend until his Uesh actually appeared to him almost as variegated as a garden in June. The horror of. his position became at tho time almost unbearable and ho don tern plated suicide as a means to escape his awful fate, lie studied his case and having learned that exposure to cold weather was the only means by which its ravages could bo mitigated, he de termined to go to Canada and enter a hospital in Toronto. It was with this object iu view that he obtained it berth on the English ship, Formosa. Tho captain, however, suspected the nature of his ailment and told him ho must leave the ship at Wilmington, N. C. At his request, however, the captain per mitted htm to land at Lewes instead. from which place he intended to go to Canada. Mr. Atwald, during tho Interview.dis- played to the reporter the peculiarities of the disease as developed iu his case. The mere rubbing of his hand created a fine, bran-like dust. Across tho palm the lines were streaked brightly, so that in tho rays of tho sun they shone like a web-work of silver. This peculiarity iu his llesh had communicated to tho crow feet line, iu his temples, and Ihey, like tho palms of bisliunds, perceptibly glist ened, lie left Lowes in obedience to th demand of tho Town Council. A Joke with a Happy Termination. A ludicrous incident recently took place in Liverpool. There are two brothers who parted many years ago when boys, one of them going to Am erica to seek his fortune and the other remaining in Liverpool to make it. They have both been eminently success ful In this respect, and not long ago tho brother in America determined to visit the brother in England. The time of visit was settled by correspondence, and t!:c American set sail. Tho Eng lish man is a notorious wag.and arrang ed that an acquaintance should meet tho American as his brother and con duct him to the hotel. Tho 'American, who was also a great wag, on tho trip decided to play exactly the samo joko on his brother, asking un acquaintance whom he had met on the ship to per sonate him for a few hours. Tho ac quaintance entered into the spirit of the t'okc, and when tho vessel arrived at Liverpool was found by the personator of the bnplisb brother ana driven to the hotel. The real American brother followed more leisurely, chuckling over his Joke. la tho meanwhile the English brotl.tr had alsogono to the hotel.burst ing with merriment over his joke. It happened that the two real brothers met in tho lobby of the hotel, and, though they had been parted so many years, they knew each other. At first, with blank amazement they greeted each other; and then, as tbey explained mutual jokes, laughed long and heart ily. Hut the climax was yet to bo reached. An explanation in regard to the gentlemen who had personatad them, and who wero now, as they im agined, playing a huge joko on each other, showed that they also wore brothers who bad been sepcratcd from boyhood, but who did not know each other when they met. The first pair of brothers hunted up to their parlor, and after the situation had been explain ed all an und, the comedy of errors was pioasantiy ended by an oldfashion cd English dinner.

'I was down to tho drug store this morning, and saw your ma buying a lot of court plaster, enough to m ike a shirt I should think. What's she doinr with so much court plaster." asked tho grocery man of the bad boy, as ho (tame in and pulled off his boots by tho stov and emptied out a lot of snow, t hat had collected as he walked through :t drift, on the hearth, which melted and made a bad smell. "O, I guess she is going to patch pa up so ho will hold water. lVs temper got him into tho worst muss you ever sec, last nijrut. If that museum was here now they would hire pa and ex hibit him as the tattoed man. I tell you, I have got too old to ba mauled as though I was a kid, and any man who attacks me from tins out, wants to have his peace made with tho insurance com panics, and know that his calling and election is sure, because I am a bad man, and don't you forget it." And the boy pulled on his boots and looked so cross and desperate that tho grocery man asKcu mm u ue wouinu i iry n tunc new eider. "fJood heavens," said the grocery man, as the boy swallowed the cider, and his face resumed its natural look, and the piratical frown disappeared with the cider. "You have not stabbed your father, have you. I have feared that one thing would bring on another, with you, and that you would be hung," "Xaw, 1 haven't stabbed him. It was another cat tha: stabbed him. You see, pa wants mo to do all tho work around tho house. Tho other day he bought a load of kindling wood, "and told mo to carry it into tho basement. I have not been educated up to kindling wood, und I didn't do it. When sup per time came, and pa found I had not carried in tho kindling wood, he had a hot box, and he told me if that wood was not in when he came back from the lodge, that he would warm my jacket. Well, I tried to hire some one to carry it in, and got a man to promise to como in the morning and carry it in and take his pay in groceries, and I was going to buy tho groceries here and have them charged to pa. Hut that wouldn't help mo out that night. I knew when pa came home ho would search for me. So I slept in the back hall on a cot. Hut I didn t want pa to have all his trouble for nothing, so 1 borrowed an old torn cat that my chum's old maid aunt owns, and put tho cat in my bed. I thought if pa came in my room after me. and found that by his tinkindness that I had changed to a torn cat, ho would be sor ry. That is the biggest cat you over see, and the worst lighter in our ward. It isn't afraid of anything, and can whip a New Foundland dog quicker than you could put sand in a ' barrel of sugar. Well, about eleven o'clock I heard pa tumble over the kindling wood, and I knew by the remark ho made, as the wood slid around under him, that there was going to be a cat light real quick. He come up to ma s room, and sounded ma as to whether Henuery had retired to his virtuous couch. I'a is awful sar castic when he tries to be. I could hear him take off his clothes, and hear him say, as he picked up a trunk strap, '1 guess I will go up to his room and watch the smile on his fac?, as ho dreams of angels. I yearn to press him to my aching bosom.' V thought to myself, mebbe you won't yearn so much directly. He come up stairs, and I could hear him breathing hard. I looked out around the corner and could see he just had on his shirt and pants, and his suspenders were hanging down, and his bald head shono like a calcium light just before it ex plodes. Pa went in my room, and up to tho bed, and I could hear him say, Come out hero and bring in that kind ling wood, or I will start a tiro on your base burner with this strap.' And then there was a yowling such as 1 never heard before, and pa said, 'Helen Blazes, and tho furniture in my room began to fall around and break. O, my! I think pa took tho torn cat right by the neck, the way ho docs mo, and that left all tho cat's feet free to get in their work. By the wav tho cat squawl ed as though it was being choked, I know pa had him bv the neck. 1 sup pose tho cat thought pa was a whole ockotWew l oundland dogs, and tho cat had a record on dogs, and it kicked awful. Pa s shirt was no protection at all in a cat light, and tho cat just walked all around pa's stomach, and pa yelled 'police, and 'hro, and 'turn on the hoso,' and he called ma, and the cat yowled. If pa had had presenco of mind enough to have dropped the cat.or rolled it up in the mattrass, It would have been all right, but a man always gets rattled in time of danger, and he held onto tho cat and started down stairs yelling murder, and he met ma com ing up. 1 guess ma s night-cap, or something, frightened tho cat some more, cause he stabbed ma on the night-shirt with ono hind foot, and ma said 'mery on us, and she went back, and pa stumbled on a haud sled that was on tho stairs, and they all fell down, and the cat got away ami went down in the coal bin and yowled all night. Pa and ma went into their room, and I guess they anointed themselvos with vaseline, and' Pond's extract, and I went and got into my bed. cause it was cold out in tho hall, and the cat had warmed my bod as well as it had warmed pa. It was all 1 could do to go to sleep, with pa and ma talking all night, and this morning I camo down the back stairs, and haven't been to breakfast, causo I don't want to see pa when he is vexed. You let tho man that carries in the kindling, wood have six shillings worth of groceries, and charge them to pa. I have passed the kindling wood period in a boy s life, and have arrived at the coal period. I will carry in coal, but I draw the line at kindling wood." "Well, you are ft cruel, bad boy," said tho grocery man, a9 ho went to the book anil charged tho six shillings. '0, 1 don't know. I think pa h cruol. A man who will take a poor kitty by tho neck, that hasn't done any harm, and tries to chastise tho poor thing with a trunk strap, ought to bo looked after by tho humane society. And if it is cruel to tako a cat by tho neck, how much more cruel is it to tako a boy by the neck, that had diphtheria only a few years ago, and whose throat is tender. Hay, I guess I will accept your invitatiou to tako breakfast with you," and the boy cut oft a piece of bologua and helped himself to tho crackers, and while the grocery man was out shoveling off tho snow from the sidewalk, tho boy tilled his pockets with raisins and loaf sugar, and then went out to watch the man carry in his kindling wood. Snakes! This is a wonderful year. It is not two months old, yet it has given a list of catastrophes which many a whole year cannot equal." There have been shipwrecks, appalling fires.unpreccdent ed floods, spots on the sun, and Wiggins. Now comes tho discovery of a man full of snakes. He lives in Salisbury, N. Y., he Is a colorod person, and his name is Hugh Leonard. He has been sick for several weeks, and his sufferings have culminated in a series of deliverance which have set the colored portiwn of the community nearly wild. His narra tive of his sufferings ami their origin is succinct and thrilling He. went to a ball, where he met un old sweetheart whom heh.nl "dropped for a handsomer girl." - She camo to him with a smilo on her lips, with cake in her hand, but death in her heart. She asked him to eat some cake, and ho with some mis giving, took a piece. It had a peculiar taste, and ho only ate a little, feeling all the time that he was being "conjured." When violent pains attacked him in the stomach soon afterward, he knew his suspicious were correct, and ho sent for "his Undo Cotman," a high authority on conjuring. Uncle Cotman went to work on tho sufferer with tho avowed intention of "gettin de debbil out ob him" as soon as possible. After two weeks of obstinate struggling on both sides, tho "debbil" began, to surrender by sections. On Wednesday last Leonard was taken with a lit of coughing, and "threw up a snake twelve inches long, spotted white and black, and apparently of the water-snako variety. Uncle Cotman grabbed him and clapped him still wriggling into a bottle of rum, which killed him instantly. This great feat enabled Uncle Cotman to demon strate tko important truth that the way to kill the "debbil" is to get him out of tho stomach and then put him into the mm, not leavo him in the stomach aud pour the rum in upon him. But this may be upset by subsequent develop ments, for only part of the "debbil" has been removed, and only one instalmeut of him has been captured. The old ne gro women who were watching with Leouard sav that just before tho snake was ejected thev saw a "fotir-leirged scorpion" jump out of Leonard's mouth and run under tho bed. 1 hey ought to have been able to capturo him," for a scorpion rigged withonlv half tho usual quota of legs could not have been very fleet. Hero are two sections of the "debbil" accounted for, and there are more to come. Leonard, at last ac counts, was lying on his back on the floor, saving that ho was still full of them; that they crawled up Into his throat and choked him almost to death. but slipped back before he could get hold of them. Undo Cotman is at his post, and if his strength holds out ho is certain to get s lot more of them. To Impatient Young Men. Albany Journal. Don't bo whining about not having a fair chance.
