And press for room. A Story ot Capt. Kidd. Probably no rover; of the Beas was ever so extensively known os Captain Kidd. His ill-gotten treasures have been looked for, wished for and dug for more exten? sively and diligently than the booty of any other known pirate. But very little of the immense wealth which it bas been so often told be buried in various parts of the world has ever been found, so far as the publio knows: Hundreds have spent time and money in vain endeavors to find the hidden gold of Kidd. The little incident whioh I am abont to relate may have no connection what? ever with the buried riohes of the pirate, bnt as I bad heard so much of him, and the oft-repeated tales of his having de? posited his treasures, or a large part of them, at least, among tho sand-banks of Capo Cod, the following circumstances seemed ta me quite conclusive evidence of its being in some way mysteriously connected with him: Toward the close of a warm, bright forenoon, about tho middle of June, 18-, a light, open carriage, containing two men, drore along the dusty road from P-, and drew up at my fa? ther's house, when tho occupants alight? ed and inquired if their horse could be cared for and fed. Being answered in the affirmative, they remarked that they were out for a little recreation and bunt, and desired to know what kind of game they might expect to find iu tho vicini? ty. My father, who was standing near, replied that it was not the shooting sea? son, and they would hardly be likely to meet with any success, as there was no game hero at that time of year. Here let me briefly notice the two strangers whose appearance wore sooh a contrast as to require more than a passing notice The elder of the two appeared to be a mau of some sixty years, whoso long white beard and hair, wrinkled face and deep-Bet eyes, remiuded me of the seers of whom I had road. He spoke but seldom, and in a low tone. The other seemed directly tho re? verse of his oompanion. lu years about twenty-five; a stout, well-mado man, whose smooth, round faoe, dark flashing eyes and quick, impatient motions, be? tokened an aotive, stirring youth. It was snob a face and form as we often see, but seldom retain iu tbe memory long, because no remarkable characteristics are visible, by which wo may identify them if met again. After seeing tho horse well cared for, they returned to tho carriage, from which the young man drew forth a small single-barreled fowling piece, whiob bo proceeded very deliberately to load with, us I remarked at the time, a sur? prisingly small charge of both powdar and shot for a bunter, or one accus? tomed to the use of fire-arms. Having concluded tho task of loading, bo turned to his companion, saying: "Do you thiuk that will do?" "Yes," replied tho other, "that will fix them." "Well, if you aro ready, thou let us go on." And turning they walked away toward tho shore, the eldor leading the way, while tho younger followed, oarryiug npon his shoulder tho gun. They directed their steps dirootly to the light-house, where they prooured a shovel, alleging as au object that they wished to unearth a fox that they had just drivon to II?B den. g|Thon moving loisuroly away toward the South, they passed the open plain, skirted tho low woods, crossed the deep valley running West from the sea, and ascended the high bill to tho table-land on the other side, pausing there a mo? ment to rest and sutiify themselves that they wore not followed, then agaiu tak? ing np their march Southward. A little farther on, and they woro lost to sight from the neighboring houses. Their movomonts, which np to this time had been careless and indifferent, now as? sumed a different appearance, They no longer proceeded with that swinging, li atleta p?oe which hfed ac? companied their walk, bat hurried, im? patiently for ward, crowing low valleys, climbing the hills on the other aide, wading throngh sand whioh gaye way beneath their feet like rifted snow, anon pushing 'their way throngh straggling bruah, they continued their eager and rapid oonrse. They spoke but little, seem? ing to be occupied, each with his own thoughto, intent only upon one objeot that of reaching some point, toward whioh they were now hurrying. Suddenly, upon reaching the level plain on the Sooth side of one of those deep ravines for whioh the Gape is noted, the seer, for euch lot us call the elder of the two, stopped, looked cautiously about, and motioned his companion to his side. The young man bounded for? ward, grasped the other by the arm, and in an exaited manner oxolaimed: "Is it hero?" ..Here," answered the seer. "Do you know the exact spot?" "No, bat the magic charm, which has never failed, will direct us." "Apply it at once, for the sun is now in the West, and wo bave far to go." The gun, which had been taken along with them, probably only as a blind, and whioh the youth had carried up to this moment, waa now laid aside; und taking the shovel from the hands of tho seer, he stood awaiting the latter's move? ments. Moanwhile, tho seer had pro? duced from an inuer pocket of the light traveling-coat whioh he wore, a small vial, containing a dark-colored liquid, which he proceeded to pour upon the palm of his left hand; then from an? other pocket ho drew a small package containing a fiuo powder; this he sprin? kled upon the palm which he bad al? ready moistened. For sevoral moments, he stood gazing fixedly at his powdered hand; then, turning to tho youth, who all this while had been gazing earnestly, eagerly at the faoe of the seor, spoke as follows: South from hero a thousand feet, Beneath a bueh with briars Bwect, An iron cboat, with broken lid. Contains tho gold of Captain Kidd. The youth needed no second bidding. Starting impatiently forward he soon reached the boah indicated by the words of the seer, and began digging for what might be beneath. Tho soil boing light and Bandy, he was not long in scooping out a largo opening. Occasionally he would pause to wipo the perspiration from his face, and then again return to his task with renewed ardor. Suddenly the shovel, in its descent, strikes some? thing whioh gives forth a ringing sound, as when two metals meet. See how bis eye brightens at tho Hound 1 how the sand flies away from around the object; and with what a wild shoot of exultation he beholds tho iron chest with the broken lid. Now comes the strangest part of this strange scene. Stopping quickly out of the excavation whioh he had just made, and without even touching the cbest, he began hastily to throw back the earth whioh he hud just worked so diligently to dig out. The bolo was soon filled; tho ground carefully brushed over, and tho surface spread with dry leaves and grass. Even their foot-steps were carefully obliter? ated. Then tba youth, taking up tho gun and joining tho seer, they returned tho woy they carno. Just as tho warm sun was passing away behind tho Western hills, tho two straugers called nt oar door for thc team. They seemed impatient to be gone. Refusing our offers of hospita? lity, they took their team and drove away. Let us follow thom. They do not re? turn by tho way they came, but drive oil in another direction, following an old road leading through tho low woods, and off toward the South. They seem, although apparently entire strangers to tho country, perfectly familiar with its every road and by-path. Perhaps thc magic knowledgo of the seor directe them. For nearly an hour, they rode on in silence, at which timo they had reach? ed the outskirts of a small village. "Here," Baid the yonth, breaking the long silence, "I think wo may secure what we desire, as this appears to be n shop just here on oar right," pointing at the sumo time to a small country store n short distance from them. "Yes," replied his companion. "Gc yon und see what can bo accomplished.' Tho shopman, who hud just lighted his lamp?, for it was already dark, looked up in somo astonishment to meet tin eyes of a stranger, who pleasantly in quired if ho could purchuso a trunk. Tho mau replied that his trudo did nol generally include such articles, but thal at present ho fortunately had two ol three on hand, which, if thoy euited bi! customer, woroat his disposal. "I will look nt thom," said tho youth "Hero they aro," replied tho shop mau; and going to the rear of his litth building, he drow out into tho light se? veral stout-looking trunk;*. "This ono willanswor," said tho youth, selecting tho stoutest one; ho paid tin price demanded, nnd throwing it ovoi his shoulder, ho walked away. Joining his companion, who congratulated hin upon his sacoees, ho dropped his b?rdet into the carriago, sprang to his seat be side tho other, and putting lash to thoii horse, thoy drove rapidly off iu a nar row road leading directly to tho sea. In a doop, lonesorao valley, a abor distance from the Atlantic beach, ant surrounded by high ?und-billa and dwarf ish oaks, stnnda, or did at tho time o our story, a Bmnll, old-fashioned, single story farm house. Its occupants, nt old mau of somo seventy years, and hil wife, lived thora alono; and botweet what ho could lind upon tho beach uni tho poor farm, lie managed to koop star vntiou from tho door. On this piensan eveuing they had finished their labor for tho day, and were just proparing t< retire, when they woro startled by i knock at thoir door, upon opening whioh tho old man was somewhat surprised t< see a youth standing before him, whi politely said, "Good evening, sir." Retarding the salutation, and request? ing bis visitor to enter, the old nan in? quired, "Who are you?" "Only a traveler who has become tired with a long and tedious journey, and desires a oonveyanoe of some sort to carry him to the next town." "I haven't got any carriage for you." "Oh! my good sir, I don't wish for a carriage; I saw a farm wagon iu yonr yard as I came in, and, surely, you must possess a horse of porno sort." "Yes, I bave a horne and oart, but who is to bring them back; I ean't go, for I'm too old." "As to that," said the youth, "it can be easily arranged. I will send a man to bring it back, or will return with it myself. You shall sustain DO IOSB." "Ah! bnt bow nm I to know that? I'm afraid I'd never see you or the horse again." . Overoomiug the smile which covered his face for a moment, the youth re? plied: "Well, if you cannot trust me, I presume you will allow me the team, providing I deposit with you a sufficient amount to cover the value of horse and cart; then, should I not return, you will lose nothing, and if I do, and yonr team has not suffered at my hands, I may .laim my money again?" The old man, whose love of gold bad lost none of its ardor with increasing years, now seemed all attention, as be replied, "Oh! if that's tho talk, why, perhaps, I might let you have it. How much are you willing to givo?" "What do you consider your team worth?" "Well, soy $100," well knowing when ho said it that such a sam was very muob more than its value. But ho was a shrewd old fellow, and meant to put bis prices, like a Yankee peddler, high enough to allow of a considerable full, and still secure moro than tho value of the article. Imagine his surprise, upon seoing tho youth, without a word, draw forth a leathern purse, from which he counted $100 in gold, and throwing them upon the table, and turning again to the old man, said: "Now your team, for I wish to be on my way." Gathering up the gold and putting it safely away in au old stocking, tho old man hurried away, followed by the stranger, to prepare the conveyance, which thc latter bad bargained for. The horse vas soon bitched to a wagon to match, and mounting tho seat, the youth bade the old man "good-night," and drove away in tho darkness, while the old farmer returned to his dwelling to count and recount tho gold left by the stranger, and secretly hoped that tho latter would never return to claim it. Our friends may with surprise inqniro what has become of tho seer. Wait a moment, and you shall see. Upon reaching the farm-house, tho youth, as bas been related, proceeded to the door to negotiate for a team, with what suc? cess has boen already stated, while the seer continued right on with their car? riage for about fifty rods, until he reached n turn in the road which hid him completely from view of the farm? house. Thon, alighting, ho proceeded to secure tho horse to a neighboring tree, thou stood quietly awaiting the coming of his young friend. It was not long before the rattling wheels of the old farm wagon were heurd approaching. It soon reached the spot where tho seer was standing, who mounted to a seat be? side the youth, and leaving their own borso tied there, they kept on in tho farm cart. Moving toward the left, and following a narrow and obscure road, they finally came out upon tho lovel plain near the beach. Keeping about tho same distance from tho shore, they moved on in a Northerly direction. At lust they stop. Tho young mun alights from the wagon, aud leads tho horse cautiously forward a few yards, when they come aguin to a halt, and the seer alights and stands beside bis com? panion, and there, right before them, with its bright leaves glistening in the pale moonlight, stands tho sweet-briar bush, which guards tho iron chest. Then driving the team as near tho spot as possible, they took therefrom a shovel, and tho trunk, which they had previous? ly transferred from their carriage. De? positing tho trunk upon the ground, and seizing the shovel, tho youth begau at once throwing out tho saud which, a few hours before, be had piled upon tho chest. ? Beaching once moro tho object of his labors, this timo ho toro uway what re? mained of tho lid, nod there, piled upon each other, lay the shining gold pieces. He did not attempt to remove the mas? sive iron chest, but pulling thu trunk to nlplace bebido him, be begun immediate? ly to transfer tho coins from tho formor to tho trunk. When thu Inst pieco had bc on haudlcd, aud tho trunk locked, it required the united strength of both youth and seor to place it iu tho wagon. Having tinnily accomplished their tusk, they again took their sonts, and, turning about, hurried back to thu spot where they had left their carriage Tho youth continued on, while tho seor, again tak? ing their own light carriago, which wus too light to admit of their putting tho trunk in it, followed behind. Passing the farm-house, tho village and tho shop, they kept right on across tho Cape; and jost as tho suu was light? ing tho Eastern sky, they drovo upon a little wharf, from whiob ;> sailing packet was to start that day for Boston. After Booing thoir treasure anfoly on board, the youth droro away with tho wagon, load iug his own horse, while thu acer re? mained upon tho packet, probably to watoh and guard thoir prize. Tho old man's team was returned to him next day by tho "ame young nirtu, and he paid back thu money, reluctantly. How theso two men kuow tho chest was thore, and whether it was really some of the gold of Capt. Kidd, will probably o vor romain a mystery. Fresh Biscuits and Crackers.
