el P A HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — When I first took my seat s a clerk in our bank th's state of the conntry wen far losa safe taan it is now. The roads were not orly wncomscious of macadam, and fatal in many places to wheels and speings, but dangerous to ‘a still more alarming degroe from the eatrages and robberies to which the trarelers were ox- posed Men’s minds wece unsettled by the in- cidents of the war on which we had just entercd-—commerce was Interrupted, oredlt was at an end, and dlstrees began to be diecovered among whole classes of the whole classes of the population who had hitherto lived In comfort. However harshly the law was administered, ft soemed to have ®o terrors for the evil- deer, and, Indeed, the undiscerning oru- d.ty of the statate book defeated its own object by purishing all crimes alike, But a time of pevanlary pressure is not a'bad season for & bank. The howse flourished, though the country was in great atraits, and the en ormous profits at that time realized by bankers—which enabled them to pur- chase large estates and outshine the old territorial aristocracy—made the profee— slon as unpopular among the higher clastes as It had alveady become among the ‘unreasoning masses. By them a bavker was looked upon as a sort of a licensed forger, who created enormous sums of money by merely slgnlng square pieces of flimay paper, and 1am persuad- ec. the robberyof a bank would have been considered by many people quite as meri- torlous an actlon as the dispersal of a ‘band of coiners. These, however, were not the senti- ments of us bankers’ clerks. | = THY; BESY TORIG. : e, t ng Iron Fith pu= Lidietaddon, Wonknes!

Not seldom these precautions were required in reality for when a pressure tor gold occurred among our customers, two of the most courageous of the clerks were dizpatched with the required amount in strong leather bags deposited under the seat of the glg, which bags they were to guard at the risk of their lives. Whether from the bodily strangth I was gifted with or from some idea that I was not given to boasting, [ might really possess the neces: sary amount of boldness, I do not know, but I was relected as one of the guards to a valuable cargo of this description, and, as If to show an impartiality between the most silent and the most talkative of thelr servants, the partner united with me in this service the most blustering, boastful, good-hearted and loud-volced young gentleman I have ever known. You have most of you heard of the famous electioneering orator, Tom Rud- dle, who stood at every vacancy for county and borough, and passed his whole life, between the elections, in can— vassing for himeelf and frlends. Tom Ruddle wasmy fellow-clerk, and gen- erally the companion of my drives in charge of treasure. “What would you do,” I said to Tom, “‘in case we were attacked?” “Tell ye what,” sald Tom, with whom that was a favorite way of beginning almost cvery sentence—¢‘tell ye what! 1'll shoot 'em through the head!” “Then you expect there will be more than one?”’ “I'should think so0,” said Tom. If there would be only one, 1'd jump out of the gig and glve him a precious licking Tell yo what, 'twould be a proper punish- ment for his mpertinence.” “‘And {f 2 half-dozen should try it 7" *‘Shoot 'em all Never was there such a determined custodlan as the gal- lant Tom Ruddle. One cold December evening we were suddenly sent off in charge of three bags of coin to be delivered into customers hands within ten or twelve miles of the town, The clear, fres'y sky was exhil- erating, our conrage was excited by the speed of our motion, the dignity of our responsible office and a pair of horse pistols which lay across the apron, ‘“Tell yo what,” said Tom, taking up one of the pistols and (as I afterward found) full-cocking it, ‘4 should rather like to meet a few robbers, 1 should serve them as I did those three disbanded soldiers ” *‘How was that?’ *'Oh!its as well,” eaid Tom, pretending to grow very serious, *to say nothing aboat these unfortunate accidents. Blood isa fright- ful thing on the conscience, and a bullet through a fallow is a dlsigreeable sight; but—tell yo what!—I'd do it agaln Fellows who risk their lives must take their chance, my boy.” And here Tom put the other plstol on full ccck and looked audaciously on both sides of the road, as If daring the lurking murderers to come forth and re- ceive the reward of their crimes. As to the story of the soldlers and the fearful {nsinuations of a bloody deed executed on one or all, it was a prodigious rhodomon- tade—for Tom was such a tender-hearted individnal that if he had shot a kitten it would have made him unhappy for a week. But, to hear him talk, you would have taken bim for a oivic Richard the Third—one who had “‘neither pity, love nor fear.” His whiskers were also very feroclous and suggestive of battle, murder and ruin, 8o he went on plsying with] h plstol, and giving himself out for &n un- pitying executioner of vengeance on the gulity, until we reached the small town where one of onr customers resided, and 1t was neceesary for one of ais to carry ene of the bags to its destination, Tom un- dertook the task. As the village at which the remaining parcels were to be delivered was only a mile further on he determined to walk across the fields and joln me after he had executed his commission. He looked cwefally at the priming of his pistol, stuck it ostentatiously into the outside packet of his greatcoat, and, with stately step, marched off with the heavy money- beg in his hand, I put the whip to the horse and trotted merrily forward, think- ing nothing whatever of robbery or dan- e Su kirts of the village—a farmer whore- quired s considerwble amount of gold, I pulled up at the errow dark emtrance of the lane that led to the house, and, as my absence conldn't be for more than a few minutes, I left the gig and proceeded up the lane with my fddun treasure. delivered it Into the hands of its owner, hand. venue.

The old horse never started at the report, and I rested my hand on the rim of the wheel, while I cndeavored to gather my scattered thoughts, The first thing 1 ascertalned was that the man had disappeared. 1 then hurriedly examined under the seat, and, to my intense rellef, percelved the remaintng money-bag still in its place. There was a slit in it, however, near the tep, as if made by a knife, the robber probebly resolving merely to potsess himeelf of the ocoin without the danger- ous accompaniment of the leathern sack, by which he might have been traced. “Tell ye what,” said a volce cloes be: slée me, as I concluded my scrutiny, ‘I don'’t llke practical jokes like that-—firlog eff pistols to frighten folks. You'll alarm the wholo villege.” “Tom,” 1 said, “now's the time to time to show your courage. A man has robbed the gig—or tried to do it—and hes fired at me withln a yard of my face.” Tom grew perceptibly pale at this in- formation. *‘Was theraonly one? Then the accomplices are near. What's to be done? Shall we rouse Farmer Makins and get hls men to help?” “'Not fer the world,” 1 said; I would rather face a dozen shots than have my carelessness known at the bank. 1t would ruin me for life. Let us count the money In this bag, quickly deliver it if it be correct, and then follow the roh- ber's course.” It was only a hundred- guinea bag, that one, but the counting was nervous work. We found three guineas wanting. We were luckily able to supply them from our own pockets, having just received our quarter's salartes, and I left Tom there, delivered the bag to its destination very near at hand, withouta word of the rob- bery, and went back tohim. ‘Now, which way did he go?” said Tom, resum- ing a little of his former air, clutching hia plstol, like the chief of a chorus of bandittiin a melodrama. I told him I had been so confused that I had not ob- served which way he had retreated. Tom was an old hand at poaching— though he was a clergyman’s eon, and ought to have set a better example. ““I have heard a hara stlr at a hundred yards, *he sald, and lald his ear cloee to the frosty ground. “If he’s within a quarter of a mile I ehall hear him move.” 1 also lay down on the ground, We heard nothing but our breathing and the breathing of the horse, *‘Hush,” ssid Tom at last. ‘‘He has come out of his hiding. I hear a man’s step far away to the left; bring your plstol and let us follow.” [Zo be continued.] e ——— Mrs. Minnie Welshelt, 57 E.

On a number of rude shelves in the lower room of his houte he has arranged a large number of mathematical Instruments, all of which he made himeelf after his agricaltural toil was over for the day. A small stream running down from the mountail elde turns a wheel which furnishes him with power to tuen a_rude lathe of hls own construction.

Around him the reglon is very wild and rough, yet old man Shirk lives alone with his Instruments and passes his time merrily. At one time he was a smart young school teacher, but clrcumstances changed the course of his life and led him to ahermit's exlstence on the bleak hills of Caernar- von. —_—e— Woman's Suffering and I licf.
