THE UNLUCKY TRIMMER. Au Anecdote of Medern Hungary. in Hungary, towards the close of 1848, war was the only theme in vogue, in Pesth, the word “ peace”’ was quite out of fashion. The hotels were filled with guests who met for the purpose of diseussing the favorite topic—mar- tial music was heard from morning till night— the European war was preparing Two per- sonages were sitting together betore a small table at the hotel Nagy Pipa, te whom the German saying might ee been applied— ‘ Der ein schwerght, den andere hort zu,” (One keeps silence, the other listens to him :) | for one of these two persons seemed attentive- ly considering the probable or possible cause of bis companion’e silence, casting from time to time a scruti look on his countenance, intended to penetrate whatever dark object might be passing within. This observant in- dividual was vo other than the humane Mas | ter Janos, police-corporal and vice-jailor of the noble city of Pesth ; and when we inform our readers that he ied this post during Metternich’s time, and that, notwithstanding | that minister's overthrow, be still retained his | position—unlike the usual fate of the adber- ents of a fallen system—they will surely ad- init that the favorite of fortune could not be better personified than by the same Master | Janos. Nor can it be denied that the indi- | vidual opposite was much persecuted by the tickle goddess as the other was favored ‘This | was obvious, not only from the fact that he | was at that moment the object of honest Mas- ter Janos's suspicious glances, but that he was in that locality at all—that a nailsmith’s ap- prentice from Vienna had wandered into Hun gary, of all places on carth, a country where the craft is curried on wholesale at the corner ot every village by the Wallachian gipsies | Master Janos had not studied Lavater; bat jong experience had led him to conclude, af- (er minute examination of the man’s counte- ; hance, that some counter-revolutionary scheme | was turning his head; oonneysentty he drew | bis chair nearer, and proceeded to break the’! silence. ‘“Where do you come from, sir, if 1 may | presume to ask!’ be inquired, with wily glance at his companion * Hyay! from Vienna,”’ sighed the etran- ger, looking into the bottom of his glass ‘And what news from that city ’ yay! nothing good ”’ “Eb, what’—nothing good! then??” “Hyay ? war is feared ’ “Feared! what audacity! fear?” “Hyay : J do not tear, sir, at thirty leagues distance; but once [ heard from the eellar how they were bombarding the streets, and 1 | tound nothing agreeable in it Master James fvund increased reasons for suspicion; he resolyed to make the man drink, expecting to come by this means upon the traces of some dangerous plot How wuch docs a nailsmith’s stomach 12 quire’ At the seeond pitcher, his head sank sowly back, and his tongue moved with diffi- culty “* Now for it,” thought Master Janus, filling his glass Etjen !—liberty !’' he ex- , claimed, waiting for the nailsmith to strike giasees. The latter wae not long in responc wo the invitation, and echoed the word “ El- | jen!” as well as his thickening tongue per- mitted ‘* Now, it is your turn to give a tx the vice-jailer, eyeing bis victim ** Indeed, I am not used to give toasta, sir; | I only drink them. ” Come, be sociable ; drink to anybody you think the greatest man in the world *’ ‘In the whole world ’’’ replied the nail- smith, refleeting that the world was very large, and that he knew very little about it ‘Yes, in the whole world,”’ pursued Master Janos, confident! The nailemith Tesitated, scraiched his nose, ecratched his ears, scratched bis whole head, and finally cried out : ‘* Success to Master Sti- mak!’’ The vice-jailer shudtlered at this public demonstration. What could Master Slimak be but some low, plotting fellow? Without any further ado, he seizes the nail- smith by the collar, and escorting him tv the town hall, dr gged him-into a narrow, omin- ous-looking chamber, before 2 stout red-faced gentleman | “This man isa suspicious character,” he | exclaimed. ‘Inthe first place, he has the | audacity to fear war; in the next, be sat from seven till half past nine—two whole hours and a haif—without opening his lips; and finally he was impious enough to give a pub- lic toast to a Master Slimak, who is probably quite as suspicious a character as himself.”’ “Who is this Slimak?’ ed the stout, red faced gentleman. ** Nobody. indeed,’’ said the trembling Vi- | enese, “but my former master, an hon uailsmith, m L served four years an would be serving still, had his wite not beaten me.’’ “Impossible !’’ ejaculated the red faced personage. It is not customary tu give pub lic toasts to such a people.”’ **Buti don’t know what the custome are | here ”’ | “Lf you wished to give a toast, why did | you not drink to constitutional liberty, to the Upper and Lower Danube armios, or to free dom of the press.’”’ . * Myay, sir, 4 could nol learn all thatin « month.’ . *Butin three months, 1 daresay, you will be uble to learn well enough. Master Jano-, take that man iow custody.’’ The humane Master Janos ayain seized the delinquent by the collar, and escorted him to the place appropriated to such malefactors, where he had time to consider why be was put there. The three months passed slowly enough to the nailsmith. 1t was now the middle of March. Master Junos punctually released bis prisoner; and the honest man determined to prove the reform in his sentiments, and thereby rise in Master Janos’s opinicn ‘Success to liberty and the Hungarian arms!” cried he. Master Janos, stumbled against the wall in speechless horror; and a- soon as he recovered his equiiibsium, he seized the astonished nailsmith, who when he had regained his terrified senses, found himself aguin in the narrow, ominous looking chaw- ber; but now, instead of the stout red faced geutieman, he stood before a lean black one who, when he understood the charge against the prisoner, without permitting any expla- nation, condemned him to three months’ im- prisonment, informing him that henceforth, unless he wished to fare worse, he must ex- claim, * Success to the imperial armies, the great constitution, and the one and powerful Austria!’ And the nailsmith, having made three steps beyond his prion door. was brought back to renew his captivity, and to ponder over his strange fate The three months again passed, and it was some time in June that Master Janos released biscaptive The poor man, even at bis prison door, began to bawl out redeeming words ‘Long live Prince Windisebgratz! Success to glorious Austria!’ cried he Master Janot laid his hand upon his sword, as if to protect himself from the incorrigible man “* What!” demanded he, ‘‘was it not enough to imprison you twice / Haye you not learned what tosay?

He was still vice-jailer of the noble city of Pesth. {twas now 3 mber, the nailsmith’s penalty was out, and Master Janos called him forth. The prisoner's coun- tenance expressed something unusually im- portant; and no sooner did the jailer approach, than, seizing bis band, he burst into tears “ Oh, Master Janos,’’ said he, sobbing, “tell the gentleman that I humbly kiss his hand, aud wish from the bottom of my heart success to the republic!” As the hungry woif pounces on the lamb, sv once more did Janos seize the nailamith by the ill-used collar; and indeed so shocked was the worthy jailer, that after dragging the prisoner into the narrow owinous-looking room, it was sometime ere Le could explain the circumstance to the lean black gentleman, wh» ‘nee more occupied the place of the fat red- fied one; and great was bis surprise when this individual, instead of sentencing the de- linquent to be broken on the wheel, merely awarded him three months more incarceration Ua the 3d of November, 1849, all who bad been imprisoned for slight political offences Were released from confinement; amoug others the prilsmith As Master Janos opened the door, the uvf-rtanate man ped his mouth with bis bandkercbief, giving the bu jailer to know ty this pantomine that he would henceforth keep lis demonstration to himself. ~<—— Tho Streets of London. in the crowded Strand, how pleasaut to re member the boy Coleridge turusting hie bint »gainst a gentleman's pocket while in the fan ciful act of swimming the Hellespont,—an tance of classieai delusion that so won the vrathfal man, that he subscribed to a citron lating library, in the urchin’s neme, for « twelvemonth!
