This was wo much canine patience: he made a spring, and as she fell full length upon the floor, he turned and bit her hand. The dismounted rider be a the fluor with a few tears, and then sprang up to turn out of the room the uneourteous brute who had thus rudely shown how little he un- derstood play Towards evening ir Hugo returned and in- quired with suspicious haste whether Father Nicholas bad been there ~ Oa, yes, he was here,’ answered Angelica, “but L ventured tu refuse his admittance.”’ The kuight cast a triumphant glance at his squire, aud whispered him, ** Now. old Wis- dom, do you see the use of my orders?” Conrade, who, as may be supposed, had said nothing of the alteration be made i: the sub- stance of his embassy. shrugged his shoulders with a simile uuperceived by his master, who had turned again to bis consort. and first per- ceived that she wore a bandage upon her soft band. He iamediately inquired the cause. “Sultan bit we.’ suid Angelica, “ and it is all your fault. Sir Hugo,” added she, sobbing * My fault!” cried the knight. “Yes. your fault, and nobody's but yours,” retorted his spouse. “If you had not sent me word by Conrade not to ride the nasty, mis- ehievous brute. such a made trick would never have eotered my head.” In mute astonishwent the knight hurried to seek an explanation from his squire, who had slipped away when Angelies began her com- plaint. « What message did you bring your y*” demanded be. ‘rule now confessed the truth Were these the orders I gave you, you seuundrel /"” said the enraged Sir Ilugo. “ Certainly not replied the squire; ‘‘but op will own that [ have made my point good. ou may now see how it would have been hid I given your order about the young priest My noble lady is a model for her sex. and simo-t an angel, but still she is a daughter of Eve, who meant to have bequeathed to all her lineal female descendants her own spirit of perverseuess And we have only to remember the oe Angeliea’s pleasant ride upon Sul- tan, to be convinced that it bad lost none of i vigor in the descent."’ eS MR. BLIFK BABY. As soon as he came into this « breathing world,”’ as the late W. Shakspere hasit, he took command in our house. Everything was sub servient to him. The baby was the balance- wheel that regulated everything. He regulated the servants, he regulated me. For the first six months of that precious existence, she woke me up On an average six times a night. “Mr. Blifkins,” says my wife, “bring that light here, do, the baby looks strangely; Ym so afraid it'll have a fit!’ Of course the lamp was brought. and of course the baby lay sucking his fist like a white bear, as he was. “Mr. Blifkins,” said my wife, “I think I feel a oe ave of air; [ wish you wouid get up and see if the window is net open a little, because baby might get sick.” Nothing was the mat- ter with the window, as | knew very well. “Mr. Blifkins,”’ said my wife, just as I was going to sleep again, “ that lamp, as you have placed it, shines direetly in baby’s eyes— strange that you have no more consideration.” [ ee the light and went to bed again. Just as I was dropping to sleep again, “ Mr. Blitkins,”’ said my wife, “ di you think to buy that broma to-day for the baby?” My dear,”’ said I, “ will you do me the injustice to believe for a moment that I could overlook a matter so essential to the comfort of that ines- timable baby?" She apologized very band- somely, but made her anxiety the scape goat. I forgave her, and without saying a word more to her, addressed myself to sleep. ‘* Mr. Blifkiu,” said my wite, shaking me, “you mnst not snore so;-you will wake the baby.”” “Just so—just so,’’ said I, halt as thinking I was Solon Shingle“ Mr. Blifkins,”’ said my wife, ** will you get up and hand me the warm gruel from the nurse lamp, for baby ?—the dear child, if it wasn't for its mother, I don’t know what it would do! How can you sleep so. Mr. Blif- kins 27" « I suspect, my dear. that it is because Tam tired.” “Oh, it’s very well fur you men to talk about being tired,” said my wife; I don’t know what you'd say, if you had to toil and drudge like a poor woman with a baby.” I tried to soothe her, by telling her that she had no patience at all, and got up for the pos- net. HHaving'aided in answering the baby’s re- quirements, | stepped into bed again, with the hope of sleeping. ‘Mr. Blitkins,’” said my wife. I made no answer. “ Mr. Blifkins,” said that estimable woman, in great apparent anguish, “how can a man, who has arrived at the honor of having a live baby of his own, sleep, when he don’t know thai the dear crea- ture will live till norning?”’ I remained silent, and, after a while, deeming that Mis. Blifkins had gone to sleep, I stretched my limbs for re- pose. How long I slept, I don’t know; but I was awakened by a furious job in the forchead by some sharp inustument. “I started up, and Mrs. Blifkins was sitting up in the bed, adjust- ing some portion of the baty's dress. She had, in a state of semi-somuolence, mistaken my head for the pillow, which she customarily used fora pin eushion. I protested against such treatment, in rather m language. pointing to several perforations in my forehead. She told me I should willingly bear such triflin things for the baby. I insisted upon it that bi didn’t think my duty as a parent to that young immortal required the surrender of my head for a pin cushion. This was one of the many pights passed in this way. The truth was. that baby was what every other man’s first baby is —an autocrat—absolute and unlimited. Such was the story of Blifkins, as he related it the otherday. It is a little-exaggerated picture of almost every man’s experience. ———————s+e- An Exrraorpinary Case or povstruL Ivextity.—The Portsmouth (Ohio) Journal of the 4th inst., furnishes the particulars of acase of doubtful identity which in some respects throws Townsend M’Henry inthe shade. Rob- ert M’Auley went from Lucasville »to coun- ty, Ohio, about six years ago to California, leay- ing a family behind. During his absence they bave been receiving letters from him in which he stated that it was his intention to return home. He also wrote that he was sick During last week a gentiemzn presented himself at Piketon, Obio, and represcuted himsclf as Mr. Robert M’Auley, and suid that he was out money and was not able to walk home. A citi- a kindly voluntecred to take the sick maa to supposed family. ile was taken to a near relative in the neigh- borhood, where bis wife (as he claimed) lived. The wife was sent for. She came, Aut fatled md utterly refused to rer ce him id he was an imposter, tuere being no re- semblance between him and her hushand. The gentleman endeavored to relate circumstances to convince his wife and friends that he was no imposter—and did seem to know almost every- thing that jt was supposed Mr. McAuley ought to know. The family and brothers still re- fuse to acknowledge him, and he is now in Forts- mouth sick. and out of money. What adds to the mystery of the whole affair is the seeming fairness of his whole stury. He dnows all his old netshhors and everything ahout ther has- tory, yet his family dontknowhin. Some of the netghbors say tt rs him, but othersdeny it A Peritovs Position “To aA MAN UP A Tree The Freeport (Lil.)

Mrs. Barmingham, after sinking twice, caught by the man in the tree, nad held until persons from shore came to the r re- fief, which was in about threc-quarters of an hour. The oaly injury Mrs. B. sustained was the chafing of her arins, in bold g to the tree, and severe cold.

Waar Pour” ¢ 1.L0NG A Lig.—Mr. Parker Tilton, says the Newburyport Herald who resides in the lower part of the city, has had a very intelligent but reguish parrot resi- ding in his family for the past fifteen years. The bird has always been allowed the privilege of the yard, frequently would stray into the adjvining fields. The parrot had been taught to keep a watch upon the crows that visited the cora ficld of Mr Tilton to pick up his corn, which information he had frequently imparted. On ‘Thursday last, “Poll”? took her | usual stroll, and this time concluded to deceive | her master, whereupon she vociferated as had | been her custom, “Crows in the cornfeld.’? | Mr. Tilton, hearing the voice of his sentinel, crept softly up to the enclosure, and levelling | his gun in the direction of the rustling corn.dis- | charged the contents. ©n arriving at the spot, to piek up the sluughtered depredators of his crop, to his great surprise he found only the mangled remains of his favorite parrot. fol ceeded in reac!
