THE WAGER WON. Not many years a0, there was a set. of jolly boys one nifrht drinking and carousing in Killala; and among the rest was Peter Cuming, the chapel clerk. Now, when they were all "pretty well, I thank you," they all got valient intirely, and one said he wouldn't be afraid to do this, and another swore he had done, and would again do that. "I'll tell you what I'll do," says Peter; "I'll bet any one a golden guinea, and hero it is under my hand on the table, that I'll go this very hour to Moyne Abbey and bring here a skull otit of it in my pocket handkerchief, and lay it down on this table." So all thinking it was an impossible thing to put an end to Peter's brag, sure and certain it was only : boasting, they all said "done to the wager;" and Peter's golden guinea was covered in a moment with twenty-one shillings. So Peter, fir his courage-sake and the money, and besides naving the spirits in him, sets off for the Abbey; and froth I don't envy the scape-grace as he went whistling along, putting out of him the wind, as a body may say, to give the more

room for his courage. And now my joker gets near the place; and he sees the tower lifting its tall self, and cutting on the blue sky, and one star bright entirely is sparkling like a cat's green eye, just over yonder pinnacle where the sea pagle now and then comes and sits, (by-the-by there is a story about that.) Still Peter's bravery was not put aback; there was as yet no occasion; all was silent in the air, on the land, and out at sea, except now and then the dash of the swelling tide as the easy wave came in, and shattered in foam among the shore-pebbles. And now Peter passed the door, which as you see lies continually open; and he has no light to guide him except one or two stars that sent down but a cold, green, good-for-nothing twinkle the walls and

Ivy darkening more and more an arouna. so tie turns

to the ri"ht, and down ne goes on nis nanus ana

knees, and he makes 10 the very spot where you and

I now stand, creeping on and on; for he knew right well that in that corner fornenst you, there was, as

there is now, a heap of skulls. Was n't the mad fel

low morthal brave? Well, he gropes and gropes for

a skull; nnd he has iust got a grip of one, and is fum

bling in his pocket for the handkerchief to tie it up

in, when he hears all at onoe a siovv sicKiy voice, nan groan, half growl, as a body may say just what you'd hear from a dying crathur that was saying his last, words, with the rattle. in his throat; and this is what was said: "Och, Peter Cumming, you bad boy what's this your about! bad luck to ye! what are ye doing with niv sktil:?" With that up rises Peter, his hands off the ground, but still standing on his two knees; and sure en.Hiah he was all of a trimble, and well he might, for, looking toward that very corner now before us, he saw what he had reason to remember to his dying day; for there stood his old grandfather, Phaarig Cumming, surrounded by a light that came, of a blueish color, from out of the earth, like what comes in September out of the reeds along the river; and there old Phaarig stood just as he was before his last sickness, in his frieze coteeii and his sheepskin breeches, all smooth and greasy, and his bay-wig, and the very tobaccy running down from the two corners of 1m mouth, and staining all his rough chin. Heaven's rest, be with you, Phaarig! but there ye wor, the picture of what ye looked the--week before the deathsickness came on ye. "Och, then, Pet hereen, says the ghost, for it was nothing else, "ye unlucky boy, what brings ye here, what are ye doing with my skull? What, for would ye have your grandfather stand up at the day of judgment without a head, ye divil-m iycare, drunken, irreligious blackguard? Now all this while the grandfather was scolding, Peter was getting up off his knees; and, as the ould fellow kept on abusing without killing him, he takes courage, and he ups and says to the ghost, "Ah, then, grand-daddy dear is that yourself! and why are ye walking, and what make ye unquiet! Maybe it's

masses ye want for yer poor sowl; and 9ure I'm a good warrant to get them sed for ye, for I'm the chapel clerk, and it will go hard with me if I don't coax his rivrence to say a dozen or two for ye, beside always keeping you in his intintions. And now daddy dear, do n't be angry," says Peter, in a voice mighty sweet and coaxing, do n't, alana, grudge me the use of yer skull just for one bit of an hour, while I make a guinea out of it; sure it's not ivery night a poor fellow the likes of me can turn a penny this way. Stay, then, where you are till I come back; I'll be here in no time, and 111 lave the skull, God bless it, just where I found it; and, daddy dear, I'll tell ye what's

more I'll do, if it be plasing to you, now that I know for sartin it is part of yourself, and that you can't do

without it at the day of judgment, 1 II come here to

morrow and put it under the clay, in the very spot where father and mother are buried, and where I my

self will cc put when I'm buried, glory be to God; and

won't that Dlase you! JJo, Heaven's rest attend ye,

and don't say a word against my having an hour's

loan of yer skull With that, Pethereen cast a fond but fearful look towards his grandfather; but now he saw nothing; the light was gone, nothing was to be seen but darkness, no sound but the wind sighing through the ivy leaves. 'Silence gives consint,', says Peter, so, tying up with two good knots the skull in his handkerchief, home he comes by the way he went, finds his eompany still a drinking, lays down his skull before them, and gets his guinea; for I'd be gUd to know who dare refuse or say he had not won his wager, seeing as how Peter proved his courage, and would stand up before any of them, when he had just been after facing a ghost. It is said Peter was as good as his word, and kept bis promise to his grandfather's ghost, for he did bring back the skull, and did put it dacently under the clay where it's resting, for aught I know, to this very day. Some people, to be sure, were slow of believing that Peter saw las grandfather's phust at all, and that it was only a drunkard's boast; for it's but too true that Peter, though chapel clerk, was a great Jrunkard and a great liar to his dying day. But this is sartin, that a man fir a wager brought away by night a skull from this abbey, and brought it back again; Which is what I would not do for all the guineas in Connaught.

capital of their kind, and show how important it is that an orator should possess a thorough knowledge of the language in which he addresses an assembly. "A meeting in connection with the Bible Society was recently held in Paris, at which a gentleman appeared,, who had been sent over from England by the Committee of the Bible Society of London. This representative had been chosen, we understand, for hi superior knowledge of the French language. In his turn, he addressed the Parisian Assembly, with great fire and energy; but when he expected to see them beaming with enthusiasm or melted into tears, he observed a smile on every face, and heard from every quarter the sound of suppressed laughter. This occurred so often that there was no mistaking it for any casual effect, and the gentleman was, no doubt, mightily astonished at such a display from people so well

bred as the French are generally allowed to be. When he had finished his oration, ho asked a friend what could possibly have occasioned so much laughter while he was speaking. He found, to his utter dismay, that, in his eagerness to impress upon the assembly the necessity of taking the water of life (the scriptures) to the poor heathens, he had unconscious

ly be expatiating with all his might on the virtues of

brandy, (eau de vie,) exhorting the multitude to enable them to send nrandy to those who were thirst, and telling them that thousands of their fellow-creatures were perishing for the lack of brandy." "Another reverend gentleman, wishing to parallel the above anecdote, told a French divine, who, preaching in this country, fell into a mistake almost as amusing as the above. As the English clergy are accustomed to call those of their communion, their flock, the French designate all who assembled under their ministry, their sheep. The French divine alluded to,

haranguing his hearers in English, but forgetting

that we have in our language two translations for

mutton, one signifying the dead and the other the liv

ing animal, continually addressed his congregation,

much to their surprise, as his dear muttons."

GREAT BATTLE IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY

Under this head the St. Louis Argus, of the 23d, contains the following important and interesting piece

of intelligence:

"Large numbers of Indians, negroes and mongrels,

from Florida, have been placed upon the borders of

Arkansas and Missouri. By a gentlemen direct from Fort Leavenworth, we learn that some 600 negroes from Florida, and runaways from the Choctaws and Cherokees, and from the whites, united wilh a few

Indiansand perhaps a few white men have been gradually associated in the fastnesses west of Arkansas. Not ong since they marched high up Red river, and camped for the purpose of hunting Buffalo. They

built a very tolerable fort with logs, surrounded by a ditch, to protect themselves against all dangers. They caught but few buffalo, and therefore to supply their wants, invaded the possessions of the Choctaws and carried off cattle, poultry, grain, &c. The Choctaws followed, but finding their numbers and fortifications an overmatch, they retired, and sent to Fort Gibson lor the United States Dragoons. Captain Moore, of Company D. was sent to capture them with three companies of Dragoons, but after arriving upon the Rd River, he found their entrenchments too strong, and their number too great to venture an attack. He accordingly sent to Fort Towson and was re-inforced with a fine company of infantry, and a couple of pieces of cannon. : "The cannon were shortly brought to bear upon the works and soon made the splinters fly and the logs move so queerly, that the refugees, at a signal rushed outside of their fortifications and began to form upon the prairie in front of their works. Ere they fully succeeded in doing so, Captain Moore and his gallant dragoons charged upon them at full gallop. The carnage that ensued is represented as terrific the dragoons routed them in all directions, and after putting large numbers to the sword, succeeded in capturing the whole body! The conduct of the dragoons is represented as worthy of all commendation as regards both skill and bravery. The bravery and numbers of the refugees availed absolutely nothing against the irresistible charge of tlie mounted dragoons. "This decisive blow will give security to that exposed portion of our frontier, and convince the refugee negroes and Indians that our dragoons may not be trifled with. The loss of the dragoons was un

known to our informant he said an express brought

the news to the f ort." ,

A day or two afterwards the tailor called again.

Our wag was not at his wit s end yet; so turn'

I have subjected a specimen of Ink, handed to me by Mr. Harrison, and made by Mr. Fugle, to a variety of Chyniical reagents, and have come to the conclusion thr.t it cannot be destroyed or removed by any Chyniical process which will not at the same time destroy the paper. But Ink may he removed Mechanically ns well as Chyinirally, as by erasing, sponging or even by lapping with the tongue. Mr Fogle's Ink however, is so prepared that it strikes deep into the paper, embodies it self with the fibre upon which it acts slightly, and thus makes it difficult, if not impossible, that it should be extracted mechanically; Therefore, so far ns can be decided by preliminary experiments without the test of experience, it appears to me that Mr. Fogle's Ink will prevent those fraudulent alterations of Checks, Drafts, &c. which are but too easily made with common writing ink.

THE public will please observe that no Brandreth's PillBare genuine unless the box has throe labels upon it, each containing a fac similie signature of my hand writing thus B. Brandreth. These labels are engraved on steel, beautifully designed, and done at an expense of several thousand dollars. TIIE RRA1VDRETII PILLS. ' pHE remarkable cures which have been effected by Brandreth's Pills have astonished the whole medical faculty, many of whom have conceded that they are the greatest blessing that ever was given to the world. The reason these celebrated Pills have such an universally good effect is beeause their action harmonizes with the human body. Purge out the old leaven, that ye may become a new lump," is the language of tne Holv Writ, a figure applied spiritually, it is true, but how could it have any application unless confirmed by practical experience in the body of matter? The foundation upon which this figure of scripture rests is ns immovable as the laws which govern the tides, or that occasion the thunders of heaven. "The Condition." The condition upon which Gud has given health to man is a constant care to keep his stomach and bowels free from all morbid or unhealthy accumulations. The means to effect this must be those remedies which cleanse the bowels and purify the blood. Good healthful medicine is only a species of food; when the animals, whose habits we have the means of oliserving, are sick, they wander through the fields, and make selection of those herbs which open tlieir bowels and purify their fluids, which immediately restores their health. When a dose of Brandreth's Pills are taken, they are digest

ed and pass to every part of the system; but they leave the body

when they have etlected the intended purpose, and health and vigor are by them insured. Mineral medicines may enter the system; but they are with

difficulty got out again; and they always occasion pain and mis

ery while they remain in the body

Whereas Braudrctbs Pills are as Innocent as a piece of bread,

and areevacuatedwith the disease for which they are taken.

From the time we are born to the time we cease to breathe,

our bodies nre constantly wasting, nnd as constantly building up. The action of the. atmosphere wears or wastes them. The

food we eat, the digestive organs convert into blood, which re

news or builds up ny its circulating power, i nustne Human body is healthy when the blood circulates freely, and when

any thing prevents its free course through tiie Tains, diseasa commences. ..."'
