“ ()h, be the powers ! the Villain has shut the sights of me gun and spoilt me aim !” yelled out Myles Dalton in the thick of the assault on the fort, as abullet from the walls tore down the the outside of the barrel of his rifle, taking the fore and back sights with it, and glancing 011‘ at the trigger-guard into the thigh of a black marine, who howled again with pain “ VVhat’s the matter, Paddy?” bel- lowed Roger Kershaw, who some short distance off was loading and firing at the pirates on the high ramparts in front, and doing no little execution, while at the same time he kept an eye 11 his section of sailors who had been lmded from the Conguest. “ What’s the matter? Why that black sconndrel up thereâ€"look at the beast grinning !--has spoilt me gun enâ€" tirely. But maybe it’s good for some- thing yet. I’ll have a try, anyhowâ€" sights or no sights I” So saying he levelled the mutilated rifle, aimed as Well as he as could, fired,and the pirate rolled dead in the fosse below I “ Bravo, Paddy! you’re the boy to teach the soldiers how to shoot,” roared out one of the lieutenants in charge of the party ; and a. hearty cheer from the sailors who had witnessed the event, showed how they appreciated the midâ€" shipman’s coolness. The men from the ships, and the marines (native) from Bombay, were working in concertat a point where the oscalading, it was supposed, would be most difficult , but while the latter were steady as rocks, and doing their duty calmly and well, the Jacks could n')t be persuaded to look upon the affair otherwise than as a. capital piece of fun, and it was with the utmost difficulty that their officers could keep them in anything like military order. On the far right of the sailors, the infantry that had been carried in the ships were operating with a, View to oscalading at a point where the ramparts were tolerably easy of access; the north side of the fort was not invest-ed at all, owâ€" ing to the small number of troops avail- able, 931d the impossibility of the ships getting close up ; while over the whole of the attack. the English artillery kept up an incessant fire from some sandâ€" hills in the rear of the attacking party. The cannon, however, were Only light field-pieces. perfectly useless for batter- ing purposes, and therefore they were only employed to clear the ramparts and knock the interior of the place as much as possible, so as to diminish the number of the defenders and allow a fair chance for the ladder-parties to scale the walls. The artillery redoubled their fire from the rearward heights ; the enemy eemed rather to increase than diminish on the walls; the British troopsâ€"â€" black and whiteâ€"poured in fearful valleys that must have done terrible execution; and with loud shouts of “ Clear the way for the ladders l" the soldiers and officers in charge of the escalading tools rushed forward as one man and planted their unwieldl'y im- plements against the walls, while the . “ Well, Phil, me lad, how are you getting on i” asked Dalton, as he no- ticed the dogged way in which Merville loaded, aimed, and firedâ€"loaded again, aimed, and fired time after time, with- out evincing, the slightest excitement, or the slightest idea that he was doing anything but his everyâ€"day duty. ' “Pretty well, thank you, Paddy; but my cartridges are running low. Have you any to spare '2” The others laughed, but Stannus turned very red,remarked that he did not know what was meant,and walked on a. little way in hopes of forcing his bravery v-he was no coward, though he acted very much as some paltloons do~ on the notice of the First Lieutenant. “Never a one; I'm off to the rear to order some spare ammunitionâ€"look out lâ€"Phew! but that was a narrow shave," he el'ied, 21:55 a shell passed be- tween the head of the two, and explod- ed a. few yards in their rear, killing and wounding several men. It did not rouse Merville one bit from his apathy, and he still stolidy asked for more cm-tâ€" ridges from every one near him. “You’ll have your wish in three minutes, Paddy. I came doWn with a message to the ladder party behind you to run forward at once, when the the supports, and all that, are ready. They’ll be here directly.” “‘ Emthr some of the pouches of those poor fellows I” ordered the First Lieu- tentzmt, pointing to the slain, who now lay pretty thick on the groundâ€"â€" the fire from the‘fort being very fierce, and wonderfully accurate for native marksman in the excitement of battle. This sort of unpleasant fightâ€"the pirates on and behind their strong walls, and the English and native soldiers and sailors quite unprotected in the openâ€"had now been going for some hours. Numbers had been killed in the attacking force, but the proportion of the wounded to the dead was far greater than it should have beenâ€"the surgeons attributing the fact to the small light bullets used by the defenders. v " Halloa, Stannusl how on earth did you come here ‘2” asked Kershaw in'some amazement, as he saw the flag- midshipman sauntering up to their posiâ€" tion, and keenly watching the walls. " Down with a message from the C. 0. ; he’s landed, and with the soldiers’ ‘ old man’ safe behind the artillery there in rear. My, don’t they peg away at a “ Of course I shall. I want some of the fun as well as you fellows, and the C. 0. will never miss meâ€"I don’t care if he does, though." rate 1” “I wish they’d peg a little harder, then,” exclaimed Dalton, who had reâ€" turned, “ or let us run up with the lad- ders at once. Our men are falling like winkin’.” “ Got your lootihgfiazk with you, Alf ’I” asked Merville, in the most nut- terwof-Way. “And you mean to go in with us '1” II.-â€"-PLUNDER AND ITS RESULTS IN A GOLDEN FORT. Concluded. sailors pressed after them in a wild mob, to fight for the coveted honor of “first man up” when the ladders should be properly fixedâ€"Myles Dalton and Roger Kershaw being the absolute leaders of the nautical pell-mell rush, While Alf Sta‘unus brought up the rear. “ ’Vast there I ’Vast there, men 1” shouted Mr. Watts to his men, as they struggled and shoved the one against the other for precedence at the ladder-foot, “ there's word come that the niggers are flying by the north gates 1" But he might as well have yelled to the wild winds and expected them to obey him. Before the words were well out of his mouth, Myles Dalton had made a spring and was quarter of the Way up one of the lad- ders, while Kershaw had leaped on to another, up which he was running like a wildcat; both followed by swarms of. blue jackets, who had thrown away their carbines and carried their ships cutlasscs between their theeth. The pirates at the top fired one volley that dropped many a “ salt” good and true, and then flung their matchlocks down on the climbers, took to their heels and fled away towards the! north gate in wild confusion. Dalton and Kershaw gave a ringing cheer as they gained the top, Waited until they had gathered to- gether a few hands, and then made ofi down the ramparts into the body of the place, to open the gates for the infantry, who had advanced the moment it be- came known that the 'enemy were fly- ing. The artillery at the same time ceased firing on the walls, and directed all attention to pouring their deadly missiles into the rapidly retreating foe. But although the two m‘idshipmen and their handful of sailors found the gates with little trouble,it was a very different matter to’throw them open ; they had ‘ been barricaded with immense strength of both timber and masonary, so that it was fully half an hour before they were flung back, and the troops enabl- ed to enter. By that time the pirates had almost cleared out of the place, only a few dcsperadocs being left, who resolved to sell their lives as dearly as possible in defence of their cherished fane, and of the great accumulated wealth they contained. Some of the numerous h 3rds of priests, too, still clung about the temples; a few women and children mourned in fearful terror at their desolate position; but otherâ€" wise the for: was completely evacuated, and in the hands of the British. Hav- ing satisfied themselves that this was the case, the commanders of the various bodies allowed their men to ‘ break off’ from the ranks ; a general rush was made to the temples, the history of their wealthy state having become pretty well known, and a scene of pillage and devastation ensued that words are powerless to describe. Not that it was at all like the sack of an inhabited town, there were few if any regular inhabitants, in the place, and therefore there could be none of the outrages and brutalities which have prevailed at- similar scenes elsewhere ,' but the plundering of the temples and of the treasure-houses, all of which had been filled with wealth obtained by the most cruel piracy, was entered into with the greatest eagerness and gusto, so that many of the most valuable and curious _ articles were hopelessly destroyed, while others of much lesser value, but more gaudy, were carefully cherished or fought for by those ignorant of their true worth. They had, on entering the main body of the temple, been lost in amazement at the wild scene of confusion it present- “Oh, you may trust him for that,” answered Kershmv ; “ I’ll bet he’ll get more and better loot than any fellow, and go aboard the Conquest with it, without a word to anyone. Hullo ! why, old Phil, what in the name of all that’s wonderful are you doing 1” “NOW I shouldn’t wonder if that chap came f0 grief," thoughtfully re~ maked Dalton; “he’s just mad at sight of all this gold and he getting none of it. He’ll be off to some hole he has spotted, and perhaps, get into mis- chief.” “ Alf, my boy 2” cried Myles Dalton, meeting him as ho was hurrying down the steps, “ why, you look quite discon- solate ! Have not the gods been good to you in the way of loot ‘l” The other only turned round in reply to make a. mocking gesture, then he rounded a. corner of the building and was lost to sight. I must now return to Alf Stannus, whom I left at the foot of the ladder waiting till the throng of sailors should have passed up, to take his turn. J ostlâ€" ed, pushed, and hustled by eager men, all anxious to be among the first, Alf could not get :1 chance for a long time. Once he was thrown out, and he did not eventually obtain his ends and gain the top of the ramparts until after the soldiers had already been freed to com- mence their pillage. With the greatest speed, for he had studied the account in the Bombay paper with much assidu- ity, he traversed the ways lying be- tween him and the great temple, which to his intense disgust, he found full of soldiers and ofiicers, tearing down the gold plates from the panellings, from the altars, from the very doors, while every possible of concealment was being open to find out the hoards of gold plate and jewelled vessels they were known to contain. The gods had disappeared long ago, broken up in pieces, with their diamond eyes picked out by the first comer, and Alf Stannus at once saw that there was little hope for him in that temple. But there were plenty of other places he knew of (by means of that paper he had obtained from Dalton) and the others did not ; ’so he turned to leave, consoling himself with the reflection that he should find more probably than he could by any possibih ity carry, in a certain spot which he felt sure had not yet been touched. “ Oh, do stop your ntunsense, Paddy, for once : I'm in a hurry, and beg you will let me pass ,'” and he pushed his way on. ‘-‘ Hullo, Alf 3" shouted Kershaw aftervhim, “any message home in case we find you with your throat cut ’1” ed While being plundered; bun they were amazed more th;1n anything at seeing Phil Merville sedater squatting on his hunches in front of a cedarâ€"door, picking away at something quite hap- pily 3 his-novel implement being an old oyster-knife, while his mural cap held the proceeds of his steady labour. He looked round and said : “What am I doing ‘1 why, looting like everybody else, to be sure.” “Looting Â¥ what are you picking out of that old door, then 1” “Gold. If you look closer you will see this door was plated with gold. I saw the soldiers wrench it off with their bayonets. It was fastened with gold pins and studs, which the redcoats couldn’t trouble to pick out, so I’m doing it. I’ve got; my pockets filled, and, when that cap’s choked up, I’m full and shall be off.” Kershaw picked up the cap and showed it to Dalton. There was no mistake about it, the pins were solid gold of virgin purity. Bidding Phil good-bye, the two 111iddies disdainng to loot, made a tour of the whole place, now swarming with soldiers, and were. no little amazed at the enormous wealth they saw all about, at the enormous plunder the soldiers and sailors were getting, and at the enormous waste and destruction going on all around them. Fortunately, there was little or no drink to be had in the fort, and, on that account, all really criminal exces- ses might be put at the lowest possible figure. Towards dusk, the sailors who were far more fatigued with the day’s exertion's than were there military comrades, assembled almost to a man under their officers, and were glad enough to get back to their ships for a night's rest. l’roper military guards and patrols were set all round the cap- tured place, and at night the stillness was as great as if no such things as can- non, muskets, sabres and spears had ever been heard on the island. “ Have any ofyou s'éen Mr. Stamina?” inquired the first Lieutenant, putting his face, which wore an anxious ex- pression, into the gun-room of the Con- quest, the morning following the cap- ture. “No, sir I" was the prompt answer of everyone, while Ken-Shaw went on to say: “ N0, he‘s not. The Commodore has just sent to ask why he is not attend- ing on him. \Vas he wounded T’ For three months Alf Stuunus lay at death’s door, but eventually he recover- ed, and then he explained how it came to pass that he got such a quantity. of loot, and had been left for dead. From his paper he learnt that this ancient temple had a concealed chamber, stored with the greatest valuables, and guard- ed by two old. priests of the holiest sanctity. Alone he had made straight ,“He has not been aboard; we thought he was ashore with the Com- modore sir.” For a long time they searched in vain for any concealed opening ; but at length by dint of tapping every marble stone carefully they came to a hollow one. W'ith’the aid of some sappers any miners, procured for the purpose, thed at last managed to removeit bodily, found that it opened on a hinge by means of a concealed spring, and led down to a cellar below. On carefully descending with lights they stumbled over something warmâ€"it was the body of Alfred Stannus! and piercing the breast, just under the heart, was agolden- hilted and richly jewelled dagger ! They lifted the senseless boy, who was bleed- ing fearfully, and bore him to the tem- ple, where he was laid on a. rude pallet until a surgeon should arrive. But in lifting him they felt something queer in his clothes, and heard a considerable rattling. Fancy, however, their as- tonishment in finding, when his clothes were removed, that he had made canvas pockets all down his trowsers! and that these were positively filled with jewelsand gold ofevcry description to an immense amountâ€"all of it being hand- ed over to the prizeâ€"agents, for equal distribution along with the other plundered goods. v“ Oh L10, sir I” answered Myleir Dal- ton; “weâ€"Mr. Kershaw and myself â€"-meb him in the great temple after the assault was over. He went offibut he did not say where.” “ Strange,” said Mr. \Vatts; adding after a. pause, “You had better take the gig, Mr. Dalton, and pull round to the other ships to see if anything has been seen of him.” But the search proved fruitless, and, in an hour’s time, Dalton came back with the information that no one had heard of or seen him. Dalton then thought it only Wise to tell Mr. \Vatts of the chaff there had been about the looting propensities of Alf Stannus, and of the extract from the Bombay paper containing a sort of guide to the wealthiest spots of the fort, which he himself had given to the missing youth, Kershaw also mentioned about the can- vas he had been working at in the purser’s cabin ; but as that functionary ivas ashore nothing could be made of the incident. Mr. Watts was then directed by the captain of the Conquest to land in person and make investigations amongst the military authorities in the tort, so, taking Kershaw and Dalton with him, he was at once pulled ashore and entered the place. Nothing there had been seen or heard of Stannus by the nightpatrols, and was by the merest chance that a passing soldier listened to their inquiries at one of the guard- posts, and declared that he had seen a young gentleman, such as they describ- ed, entering a ruined temple in a remote corner. He showed them the place, (after some difliculty in finding it out,) but they could discov nothingthere (for the temple was entire y destitute of any ornaments or idols whatsoever) at all likely to attract the attention of one bent on looting. They were leaving the place in despair, when Dalton gave a start. “ Did you hear that “I” he said. “ What 1” cried the others, listening intently. “ A groanâ€"â€"I distinctly heard :3 groan from that corner on the right I’m certain of it. Let us search I” for it,and with furious threats had {breed the old men to show him a. hollow cavity where the valuables stuffed into his trousers had been found. \Vhen he had taken-all he could, he Was turning to go, when one of the old men, as if by accident, dropped a splendid diamond at his feet. Stnnnus could not resist the sight; he stooped to pick it up,and in doing so the other mun stabbed him furiously, and full senseless to the earth. After that he remembered no more until he was restored to his senses on board the Conquest, where he had been alien as seen its possible. Had the dagger entered but one-eighth of an inch 3. little mone to one side, it would have struck the heart, and Alfred Stannus have been “ missing” for all time. ‘It was surmised that the old priests,‘in b‘;e hurry and fear of other plunderers coming, had flung him for dead, jewels and all,int0 the concealed cellarâ€"think- ing they would be sure to find him on their return in happier timesâ€"and had then fled, to save {hemselves from fur- ther attack. ' Stannus of course was quite unfit for all active duty after such a wound, was put on half-pay. But he never forgot the awful lesson he had received, and greed of gold is no longer one of his v1ces. Only a’ few years since a man was arrested in an eastern city and sent to jail for stealing ladies’ slippers and gaiters. Ho invariably took them from the feet of the wearers. He would dart upon the lady as she went along the street, tear off her shoe, and disappear with the velocity of a bat. ‘ He " worked” the street cars and 0mâ€"‘ nibuses regularly, and once took the slipper off a bride at the church door. So great was his skill in timing his depredations, and so instant his re- treat, that he long escaped arrest. But he was finally taken. His apartments were found to be crowded with ladies’ shoes. They wore of all sorts; from the dainty little satin bootkin of Cin~ derella to the broad and bootlilie golosh of Mrs. Gamp. He was a “ res- pectable” person with an income, read Plato, believed in infant baptism, and among his immediate neighbors bore the repute of being a quiet, worthy citizen. He could not tell what im- spelled him to these fantastic acts of ‘ spoliation. “It was an irresistable im« lpulse,” and in ridiculousness and fa- ‘tuity was about on a level with the propensity of a well-known London surgeon, who had a fancy for cutting the table cloth in two in every house to which he was summoned. He kept a lancet for the especial purpose, and in the course of an extended profes- sional career probably destroyed more draper * than any other practitioner in Great Britain. These morbid ten- dencies and phenomena are obviously salient points of great breadth and depth of mental disease. When aber- rations are slight and solitary, when a person seems sane in all except some trivial particular, it may be that the inconsiderable intellectual flaw does not seriously impair the general inâ€" tegrity of the mind. The quiet village of Alvinston has had an excitement in the elopement of Mrs. Wm. Sutton and Mr. George II. J une of that place. Mrs. Sutton was married about five years ago, and as far as known, lived on peaceable terms with her husband. Her candid reflection on the accident and the evident satisfaction she felt in the fact that it was the old man and not herself that was left, was greeted by a rounzl of laughing applause. Not a few of the ladies in the car were de- lighted that it was the old man and not the woman who had “ caught it 7’ this time. For once, the 10rd and not the lady had made the blunder, and " gone and got left.” “ There! my old man’s got left! 11') has! there, see he has! Wall,” she continued, settling back into her seat again, “ I’m glad on’t;itls always been, ‘Mammy, you’ll get left! mammy, you’ll get left 1’ all my lifelong; and now he’s gone and got left, and I am glad on’t.” The amalgam or tin foil. which is spread on plate glass to form mirrors is readily erystalized by the rays of the sun. A mirror hung where the sun can shine on it is usually spoiled. It takes a granulated appearance, faâ€" miliar to housekeepers, though they may not be acquainted with its cause. In such'a state the article is nearly worthless; the continuity of its sur- face is destroyed, and it will not re- flect outlines with any approach to precision. Care should therefore be exercised in hanging. If any of our readers have mirrors which appear to be spoiling, it would be well to ascer- tain whether the direct sunlight strikes them. If thus exposed, they can probably be saved from further injury by simply changing their posi- tion. The back, as well as the front, must be protected. ' A comfortable old couple sat a seat or two in front of us on the railroad during one of the hottest days of last summer. The journey was evidently one of the events of their lives, and their curiosity excited the attention of the passengers. At a. way station the old gentleman stepped out of the car to get a drink, or to buy a doughnut, and heard the bell only in time to rush to the door of the eatingâ€"house and see the train moving off without him. The old lady in her seat had been fidgetting, and looking out of the window in her anxiety for his return, and when she saw his plight, his frantic gestures for the train to stop, as it swept further and further away, she excluimed,â€"â€" A genuine touch of pervades the following pendent in Detroit : Cases of Singular Theft.
