CAR ‘RRIER BOY’S MISCELLANEOUS. Eggmm CARRIER BOY. Let Sound Reason weigh more with us than P0,!)ulm‘ Opinion.” RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1869. ADDRESS. I‘ilCC Our mutual fondness had no effect upon mv stép mother’s feel- ings towards me. Luke W13 hm“ idolâ€"she was without fortune, and my father’s income, mostly deprived ti'oin his official position, would expire with him. On the other hand, the house and grounds we lived in, together with valuable tracts oi'iand in tifijoining counties, were destined to be mine in right of my mother. Wilhin a month after I had reach- ed mv majorily, my poor father was sxruck down by apnplexy He died in a few days, and my step-mother's [ears were reulizu]. Luke and I Were itaif-bl'()lilt’l's. Born three years after me. he seem- uii. even when we. were boys to gather, my senim' by thrice the term, such was his superiority in strength and stature and such the Influence of his pret’nature gravity and curncstnws. His t’i'mther was a beautiful Creoie from the island ()1 Antigua, whbm my father had it’irlt‘ried after a two months' acquaintunre, flflll within :l year {mm his first Wife‘s death. His leisurely rep‘entuuce had pm~ bubiy begun before [[10 expiration oi the huneymoon, inr the temper 01 his secund choice. was jealous and fil't‘t‘V iii the extreme. She could barely tolerate me lrom the [lrst and Hl‘lt'!‘ Luke’s birth SCUHH‘d to regard Inc with positive hatred. \thn nld enough to un- derstand her feelings tmxartls me, I reciprocatetl them in lull measure. This aversion. on my part, did not extend to my haby-bmthcr, as l was wont to cull Luke. From the time when he could play with me, we never tired bleach other's amn- pnny ; and when Luke was ailingl hung over his cuuch with all the sultcitmle a child is capable nl‘levl- ing. As time wore on, we studied from the same. bouim, slept in the same rooin, aml werc so consianllv togelllt‘r that the neighbors nick- named us the Siamese Twins. Luke and she were pennilessâ€"i' was in my power In remicv them homeless aim. 131V love I'm' the son influenced me 10 inviiu the mmhor 10 remain WM] 123 ; and Hm family circle, save as broken by death, remained the same. From llxis period mys!:~pln01hm"s demeanor became gwally subdnet], and, as regarded mysclfi alumsi un- exceptiunable. inEH thought Hm! I could iterative, beneath Hlis smmnh surface, that her long- chcnshed {filings were unchang- cd-as the Iigm"s claws, when in repose are slxeuihed in velvet. Luke’s characler was lhc opposite of his mother's; in all things, save in the lalent lierecncss of tempt-r, which only those most inliuzutc with him could (leloct, behind the somewhat indolent calmness of his genial demeanor. His fiis of rage were low and far between; but lhey were Herriblo ; and while they lasted lwa; the only being who could ever succeed in mastering him. Al such limesl believe my eye and voice hall a Corluln magnetic power olcomrol which he was unurly un- able to resist. This alli'clion toward me was such that,high-spirilc-d and indepen- dent as he was, he willingly ac- cepted my bounty rulher than con- sent to a separation. Thus we all three were dwelling together in outward peace, which seemed likely 10 reimtin longr un- disturbed, when a (1:)USln()l.Ll}l{0'S unolhercun'm to make us a some- what, lengthened visit. She was an orphan who had hardly a relative bositles ourselves, and was endow- ed with a child-likesimplicity and joyOnsnem of soul that endeaer her to all around before she had been with us a month. In the case of Luke, hitherto so reserved and (“Jen gloomy in his demeanor. her influence seemed to work a special change. She treated him as she might have treated an elder brother, with a charmingr mixture of play- fulness and deil'erence. Toward myself her manner seemed more shy and distant. Her presence had gladdened our honseho’d some three months whe" Luke, one night, frankly confided to me his ioye for his cousin,‘and his intention of dvclaring himself on the next. favorable opportunity. MYRA BETRO‘I‘HAL. BY MRS. Fifi HUMAN a éfixttmitm. 5‘1 The evening before her proposed departure abruptly entering the par- lor. I surprised her in tearsâ€"which, as I approached her. she vainly en Jeavored to conceal. The sight of her distress and the thoughtnf so soon insing her over- cnm: mv resolution. As I bent over her and took her hand in mine, an expression of tenderness invol- untarin escaped me. How it came abnut [ could never recsdImminembnrunca 13 lost in the deiirium of the few moments that succeeded; but I soon gathered from Myra’s own lips that although Luke had offered his hand that, very atternoon, slte had given him no decisive answerâ€"that she fear- ed she could love him only as a couuir'. At this point all self-cou- trot deserted me; and I drew from i201‘ the sweet Confession that her preference was for me. who, she had been assured by my stepmother. was a confirmed bachelor, rendered so by disappointed love. 'l‘wo (luvs afterwards I learned Ihat our fair visitor must vvrv sharia I}: leave us, in order to lake up her {mum residence in a distant Slate. She and Luke; I noticed, were now unusually silent and reserved to ward each other. The avowle had hardly escaped her lips. and Myra’s head was still resting on mv breast. when I heard a stealthy step approaching; and. raising up my eyes, saw Luke in the doorway confrontingr us. The conflicting passions had so trans- li)t‘i’1’](‘,(l his countenance that lcould hardly have recognized it Hurling from botWeen his clenched teeth the r-pitlic-t‘truitor,’ he raised his arm and pointed a pistol full toward mo. I advanced a step, fixed mv gaze sternlv and steadily and stern- ly on his face, and ejaculated ‘Lnke.’ His eyes drooped, the outstretched arm waveredâ€"the weapon swerved, was discharged ; and, with a loud shriek, Myra Lee lellon the SOL). behind me~â€"a bullet in her heart! [ sprang tthtrd the murderer. but, as I reached him, he had turn- ed his revolver against himself and his brains were sputtered at my feel. And as Heaven is my witness, l Spoke in all sincerily, hmieving lllal Myra Lee must have learnt In love my brmhor, and resolva that no Word or look of mine should tend 10 mar lhmr happiness. The double catastrophe, the sudâ€" den revultions, 01 these low mo ments. deprived me for the time of reason and consciousness. VVith- out an object, I snatched the smok- ing weapon hour) the dving man’s grasp, and rushed from the room to my own chamber in an upper story. There 1 was shortly alter ward found pacing the floor with frantic strides. muttering incohereutly, and with the revolver-4t had been my own no less than Luke’sâ€"still clutched tightly in my hand. I was, at course, held in custody pending the verdict of a Coroner’s jurv, To my utter astonishment, my step-mother now cattle forward us my chief accuser, althought nut prufussing to speak as an actual (eve-witness. At the inquest the surgeons testified that. owing to the relative positions of the actors in the tragedy, lcoul:l not possibly have fired the fatal shot. I was honorably discharged; and my atcpmotdcr, now uttt‘rlv broken down by the loss of her son and the {allure of her vindictive schemes, was compelled to leave the country. VVllll 21 strong effort 1 repressed all outward agitation, and calmly bade Luke Godspeed in his suit, assuring him I would do all in my power to hasten lhe fulfilment of his wishes. The fierce pang which‘seemed to shoot lhrough my whole being, as I listened, firast fully revcaied tome the slate of my own feelings. Lukg â€"my more than brotherâ€"“as now my rival; bentâ€"however, uncon- sciouelyâ€"«m (lpfealing the uncon- f'essed, yet dearest obiccl of my life I It was long before I could recon- cile myself to being the survivor ()l the sacrifice 1 had so unwillingly caused. But I have been led in seek consolation at its highest Source, and a power mightier than human has aided me to bear the burden 0i a solitary existence, 'chcn released. it is mv only wish that] may be laid hessirlc my on happy broiher. and his innocent vic- tim, and that the same stone may shelter our remains. I had been trading across the At- ,lantic l'or twenty-eight years. and enjoyed an uneviable reputation as an experienced commander. In the fall of 17â€"â€" l commanded the bark Vengeance, and was awaiting consignmentstoBordeaux, having just discharged a cargo. when an officer of the Government came on board and learnngr that l was trom the New World, inlbrm~ ed me of the intention to forward to Mexico state jewels‘ valued at two millions of dollars. I accepted the commision, and was to receive thirty thousand dollars for the ven- ture. The treasure was aalely brought on board that night in a flour barrel, with other barrels of biscuit, and no one save myself knew ol its being aboard. The ship being cleared and the" wind favorable, we set sailthe next morning, and ‘passed the straits without anything unusual transpiring. She was in charge ot Vincent Pander, the notorious pirate of the Atlantic. We threw oucrhoard a lot of marble we had on deck. and crowded on every inch 01 canvas the bark would carry, until the masts and yards groaned under the pressure; but to no purposeâ€"the schooner steadily gained upon us, and by four in the afternoon was made fast alonside, and the cap- tain stepping on board of us de- manded an unconditonial sur- render. I had on board a Malay boy. about sevenlécn years of age,named Pierre Nanso, possessed of courage and aculeness in a most remarkable degreo. No sooner were the pirates in our hold, than Pierre, unperâ€" ocivcd, got imo lhe foremost hold of lhe pirate schooner. and with :1 MW) incl] auger he had cun- cealed in his breasf, bored four holes in her bottom, and returned with- out deieclion In his ship. W'hen about a week out at sea, about dawn of a clear morning we eapied a rakishvlooking schooner bearing down upon us will] slav sails set. lknew immediulely she meant no good to us, and my blood ClHHed on descrying lhe dreaded name of ‘ Lynx’ on her quarter. We knew resistance would be useless, being unarmed, and my place was 10 concilalc the skipper as much as possible. I invited him in the cabin to take some \vinP, while he coolly directed a gang ol his crew to plunder ()UI ship. Fortunately, a few m'inuleslater, the skipper ordered six of his men lolhe schooner and went himself to procure tools If) remove some stone in the hold of our ship, where he snspecled the treasure was concealud, leaving five of his men on board the bark. Quick as thought the Malay bov cu! the lashing, and our sails being diflerently trimmer] from those of the schooner, we drifted from her. and the boy telling me what had been done, [he halehcs were batier- ed down and sail made. and we beganm leave the schooner. The skipper appearing on deck and seeâ€" ing: the state of aflirirs, fired 21 six- inch gun at. us, but the shot feil Wide of us, and perceiving: that his vessel was fining, he dusisled from [urlhnr attempts lo molest us, and night coming on we Ietl him to his deserved tale. We arrived safély 'at our destinab lion, and delivered the captured piralestojustice, and I presented the Malav boy with a thousand dollars as a mark of mv regard for hlm and appreciation of his valu- able services. The iroasure had been slowed in the cabin under the floor. The child of a Dcvonshire (English) laborer died from sculds caused by its turning over a saucepan. At the inquest the follmving strange evidence was givnn by Ann Manley, a witness: ‘I am the wife nt'James Manley, a laborer; I met Sarah Sheppard about nine O’cloc‘c on Thurslay coming on the road with the child in her arms, wrapped in the tail of her frnek; she said the child was scalded; then I charmed it asI charmed it before when a stone hopped out of the fire at Honiton Fair and scalded its eye; I charmed it by saying to myself: ‘ There was two angels come from the North. one of them bringing fire and the other frost; in frost out fire,’ etc. ; I repeat this three times; this is good for a. scald; I can’t say it’s good for anything else ; old John Spaz'way told me this charm many years ago; a man may tell a woman the charm, or a woman may tell a man, but if a woman tells a woman. or a, man a man. Iconsiderit won’t do any good at all." AN ADVENTURE WITH A PIRATE. TERMS $1.00 IN ADVANCE. ‘Wllole N0. 546.

Perhaps the face bfsome young Mason may light upon the heading of this articie. If so, let the soul drink in what the eyes perceive. All that we would say is said in that brief heading, “ Trust your Mother.” As every one is interested to know how so rich a man as Baron Rothschild lived, correspondents are particular as to every movement of his daily life. It is related that he rose every morning at six o’clock. His body servant shaved and dressed him. . Meantime, M. Bondeville (a. teacher of elocution, wholfits people for the stage,) read the newspapers to him and told him the gossip of the' green-rooms of Paris theatres. He was dressed for the day at this early hour, putting on even a white. cravat. He next received a Prussian- named Bernardi, with whom he examined the quotations from the great Exchanges; of Europe, and decided upon and gave? orders for the transactions of the day., He- next received the correspondence- clerks, took from them the more impor- tant letters which required a reply from; the Baron, and approved or modified the- proposed replies in other letters, Then, the almoner came in and reported on the« poor relieved, and received new instruc-. . tions. He then went to Mlle. Rothschild? ‘ for her instructions. After the Almonet‘; retired, the Baron received his experts,, A men who kept him informed of all are. and book sales; they made reports 01" received instructions. He then went to, breakfast. All the family met at brealb‘; ' fast,aml usually one or two of‘ his married ;_ children were present. After breakfast, . * the Baron went to his office (which was 3;} immediately on the street, and separated, from his house by the courtyard; a 00V:â€" ered way reaching from one to the other); : to receiver people. At two o’clock”~ would go: to the Bourse, or oftener to the v auction-mart, for he was fond of having} c‘ objects of curiosity and pictures; flea?“ would return to his oflice, and ati’f'ourx‘i o’clock drive down to Chateau de Sui‘gnse 0r Bois de» Bologne, returning at five. o’clock to his club, where he would play whist at ten sous o. pornt until dinner time. During the last part ofhis life he became eccentriein- a good. many small matters; He carried a port-monnaie which was closed by a lock, although he, never carried more than fifty francs about . him (“ if a man carries more he is someâ€" . times led to extravagant expenses,” he. used to say,) and often nothing t all. ' He carried the key of this look his ' watch Chaln._ The members of club . in the Rue Royale used to laug to see, the Baron fumbling for his key, and even- his lock (his sight was latterly impaired) and when, at last, he managed to open the portâ€"monuaie, to findit empty. After dinner he received company at home, or.- went to some theatre. 1 No other on earth can love you as she.- The lodge is not designed to wean yoga from her, but to bind you to her. When: you were as helpless as a} new-hatched, bird, she pressed her lips to your cheek,_ and prayed God for your welfare. In. lonely hours, in sick hours, in dangerous. hours, in wear] hours she has stood be» side you. All others might failâ€"all others forsakeâ€"ébut she, like the endur» ing fragrance of the lemon verbena, has, failed note ‘ So: ifgou forsake others, do, not forsake her. 011, for these dear old others we plead. Forget that the sky i glorious-â€" that the ocezm is grandâ€"that the moun- tains are sublime ; forget the old home- stead, forgot common friends, forget your duty to the poor and to your country, but don’t forget your mother.
