And tliat there -dog got that there man la many an ugly mum; For the man he waa on his muscle, And the dog he was on his bite, So to kick the dogoned animal Waa sure to raise a light. A woman owned a Thomas cat That fit at fifteen pounds, The other cats got up and slid "Whew that there cat was round. The man and dog eamc along one day, Where the women she did dwell. And the purp he growled ferociously, Then went for the cat like?everything He tried to chaw the neck of the cat. Rut the cat he wouldn't be chawea, So he lit upon the back of that there dog, And bit 1 and chawed! and clawed 1 Oh? the hair it flew! and the dog he yould As the claws went into his hide, And chunks of flesh was peeled flftm his back; Then he flummoxed and he kicked,4and he died I Tho man he ripped and cussed and swore, As he gathered a big brickbat, That he would be darned essentially If he didn't kill the cat! Rut the old woman allowed she'd be bles sed if he did, And snatched up an old shot gun, Which was fired and peppeied his dia phragm With bird Bhot number one. They toted him home on a window blind, And the doctor cured him up I Rut he never was known to fight again, Or to own another purp. ? Folks may turn up their snoots at this here rhyme, I don't care a cuss for that; All I want to show is, that lighting dogs May tackle the wrong Tom cat* Translated from the French, for the Orangeburg Times, by E. Weiss. Matilda DeLarcy. On a dnrk and rainy evening; in the year 1793, a man already in the decline of life, dressed as a common peasant, was seen traveling, on a narrow, bushy road, which joined the great road, leading to the city of Rennes. By his side, a young girl was walking; she was wrapped in a thick brown woolen mantle. They advanced slowly and lu pain, on this slippery and mirery road. Tbe old man tottered at tbe cavities of tbe roud, as tho dnrkuess hindered him from tread ing firmly; lie was ulso quite uncertain what direction of the road he should fol low. He stopped and sighed often, whilst tbe young girl tried in vain, to support him and quicken his pace. HMy God I" she murmercd, "1st us hasten! what will become of us, if dark ness overtakes us here ? Happily for us, we are no further from tho farm of 12* sarts ; and without a doubt we will be welcome." **God grant it! replied the old man despairingly, "for I would not be able to go farther, let what will happen." Thejr continued their route, but the farther they advanced, the more they found it difficult. The young girl, whoso energy, to this time, had almost sustain ed her father; did bor best to continue traveling, on this slippery, luirey, soil; while her loct suhk at each footstep. "My God!" she cried, with an emo tion of U-rror, "I hear the tramp of horses 1" In fact a troop of horsemen were in pursuit of them, and although it was dark, their unilorms* and plumes were visible. Tho two travellers, by an in stinct of nature, stootl us still as possible, on the side of the road ; tbe young girl, iu front of her father, as it were, to con ceal and protect him. One of the horse men stopped: "Citizens 1" cried lire, "do you kuov what has happened to-day at the castle DeLarcvJ" 4'Avcl Ayel" cried the young girl, imitating the provincial dialect, and lean ing on tho neck of his horse, as ho was pawing nnd splashing in the mud. "The citizen Mayor, came to the cas tle to arrest the aristocrats; tho Baron and his daughter. By my lady ! these people made themselves scarce, and the castle is pillaged. But the old traitor did not go far, for ho was caught and hanged at twenty pace* from .the castle. That is well! adieu citizens," and ho started at full trot, Let us walk featl'' said >M yousj* girl in a low tono of voice, and taking hor father by t-he armj "thoso troops h**e beeiUieceived, let us* try to reach tho farm before we meet with others." Shey left the mire and quickened their pace; the road bccacto better and' they 80jjp arrived at the farm of the EssartB. They reached it \hrough a deserted rear yurd, and the yoUfig girl knocked at a enroll door, which the farmer's- wife opined, with a look of astonishment. yWhat ao you wish ?" said she. shelter and a fireplace; we have strajyed from our path." ^fflValk in," said the farmer, with hesi tation. They entered the chamber, where Dominic, the farmer, was warming hira sclf^ The two travellers approached the great; chimney, so as to dry their wet and muddy clothes. The farmer eyed them in asuspicious manner for some time: " Where are you going citizens ?" final ly he asked. "jVe aro going to Rennes," said the old frian, "and we wish to hire a carriage to convey us thither; do you know of | any^about here, that we could hire ?" "Hire a carriage 1" replied Dominic, muifi agitated at the sound of that voice, at the same time, his eyes were fixed on the delicate bauds, which the young girl hckl in front of her face so as to screen her '"vom the effects of the fire, and per haps, also, to conceal her features. "A carrfjage^*' he repeated, with much em "that is not the way a peasant i, neither arc those hands, the ha ds tsdnt girl! Why did you come ^tftl ft I ,*j pha- 6 f seek a? asylum^ Dominic," re pliedj&Iatilda, urJcovcring herself. "A.n asylum for this night only." "aRss- Matilda 1" said the farmer's wife, taking hold of her hands, with great emotion. "Great Godl" cried the farmer, "you here ? The Baron DoLafcy on my fart&'t. "Yes, I am pursued. I demand your assistance." "You ask me to destoy myself 1" ex claimed Dominic, "..o you not know, that you nrcoutlawed ? and that any one that harbors you, will bo put to death ? It*it is known that you havo been here, mystlf, my wite and children are lost forever. Go away 1 be quick, unless you wish me to denounce you." "How Dominic 1" answered the Baron calmly, "is it thus you receive me ? what harm have I done vou ?" "To me, personally, none. They say that you havo called in strangers and sown the seed of civil war. That is a crime. Of that, I am not the judge. I only tell you, go away ; go somewhere else. But ask Bastiuu aud Gervaics, ask Leonard, what your father, of sad memo ry, did to theirs, and you will find out, why they destroyed the gates of your cas tle, this night." The Barou replied in an altered voice. "You refue me shelter, for one night?, and this child," added he, pointing to Matilda, "do you also include her in this same vengeuuee." The fiirmei seemed to hesitate. "No! my dear father, No! my dear father," -aid Matilda, "d<? you think, tliat I could leave you lor a singlo mo ment; adieu Madeline, I have no ill will against you," and sho offered her haud to the fanner's wife, who was leaning against the wall, vith her hauds crossed upen her breast. Madelainc, took her hand, and shed tears on it while kissing iL The two fugitives, found themselves once more, on the road. Very singular ly, this last scene, had restored the old Baron, to his usual energy. This cir cumstunco, instead of disheartening him, had raised his spirits; and he walked with a firm step, toward the tavern of lather Lartier, a small inn, open to nil travellers. "In the crowd," said he, "we will not be noticed, and we can perhaps bargain for a carriage." When they arrived at tho hall, it was filled with people, some talking loudly. The two fugitives, slipped in unnoticed. The Baron culled for a pot of cider, aud sat down at an isolated table, with Ma tilda. In the middle of the hall, four or five individuals, armed with inferior swords and rusty pistols, were discours ing about lbs 3?95?S of th-c- day^J?,id. w^re boasting of having taketa part in th,d dft* I vastalion of the castle .DeLarcy. r '-. ... ...Hi|J WJI... j,. "By the Great Jehpvahi'' safd one, "if I had caught the old aristocrat, I would not have su fibred him to depart, for I know him well.**" ? "Letus go out!" said Matilda in a low voice, to'her father. "Whore shall we go ?" said the Baron, "may the "will of God be done!" "Let us try at least to, procure a car riage immediately," replied Matilda, "I am going to speak to the innkeeper. It I will seem quite natural, for a woman to apply for one." Matilda arose and went in search of father Lartier. "A close carriage, my little mother t" said he, "O! Kousseau I" cried he, ad dressing himself to the orator of the baud; "do you wish to hire your chariot for a trip to Keanes and return ?" "I would huve no objection," said Rousseau; "but that depends on the price. "Well I listen, my little mother," con tinued tho innkeeper ; "here is your man. Bargain with him, if you can." Matilda, approached the individual, not without ropugnnuce. His veritable likeness of a baudit, inspired her with profound terror. Rosseau seemed to per ceive it, and while examining heir with attention, commenced bargaining with her, about the price of the carriage. "But alter nil, citoyenne (fem do citi zen) you must first see if it suits you. Come with me under the shelter, and I will show it to you." "How! By Blue!" said one of the crowd, "you are going to hire our car? I riage, Kousseau, to go to Renucs ? Do you not know, that wo will require it, to start to-morrow at noon." All the others I present knowing what was going on, I acted in concert, and they all rose at once. "B ut if I am well paid for it ?" cried Rosseau, "come with us, Bj:: BlueI and j we will conclude the bargain, all of us together." Matilda, had advanced too far, to re cede without danger. Re-uniting all her courage, she went out among those men, who were highly excited by liquor, and I walked toward the shed, which was situ ated against the wall of tho yard. At that time a tall and handsome gentlemen dressed as a captain of the republic, ap- I peared at tho steps of the tavern. Ho I stopped for a mement, aud cast his eyes rapidly a round the hall, which was now, nearly empty. Ho then entered, and examined attentively, every person in the hall. This examination frightened the Baron DeLarcy, who trembled with fear, every time the captain stopped in front in him. "What do you wish captain?" said the hotel keeper. "A pot of cider and two tumblers on that table," said the captain. "By Blue! father Robincau!" tapping the Baron rudely on tho shoulder, "do you not know me ? I have been hunting for you for more than an hour.*' The Baron, stupified, raised his head, and was astonished; it was Nathaniel DeKernudrnn. "Ah! Ah !" said Nathaniel taking his hand, and squeezing it, "it seems you did not expect to see me; but wo will take a drink before we leave. Where is your daughter?" > "She is bargaining for a vehicle," an swered tbe baron with a voice, altered by great emotion. "Itis uaele?s," cried Kernudrau, quite coolly. "I have ray carriage; and you - ill mount behind, father Robincau. I will pay all expenses." They went out immediatoly toward tho indicated shelter. Whilo approaching it, they heard smothered groans and ani mated voices. "After all," said Rousseau, onoofthe bandits, "for a little arristocrat, you are over particular. Would you rather we would cut off your head ?" Those hideous words, had hardly stcuck the ears of Keruudran, than he sprang toward tbe door, to open it. Ho fouud it barred. Without loosing his precious linio in trying to open it, he fan to a small opening, used as a window, jumped through it, and appeared in front of tho bandits. His sudden appearauce, disconcerted them ; they retreated with sunrise: and ;r, their trouble, Mst?dn. pfllpiuttirg with fear, escaped frorn the bauds of Rousseau, who had, already seized her, and ran behind her deliverer^' "Ah! league of banditst Cowardly " scarnps I" said Keraudran; while aglfjicr ting his sword with furor. "Five ojyop^ against one woman !? Stop a while ? By the Eternal 1 Twill make you cuflar for itl But the villains, had got over thejf ( fright, and the light of an only caudlo, came back to Keraudran. who was alone. "By Blue! it is not so bad, for a hjlli tnry man 1" cried Rousseau, wRh an ironic lough, "That is,- bo wishes,. her for himself, the graball." * . , "01 cried Matilda, I iraploxo you, whoever you be, to protect me!" ? -..-tr "Let us see!" repo tted R0us5c.au, drawing his sword, "fight or die." ThS*" others, all did' the BUtue: ' ? 7DO "Ah 1 five again, against ono 1 well/' ?' come on cowards?" cried; Kiraudrari. : At the first plunge Rousseau' fell at his feet. The other four, came alll together on him S? once., lie defended himself like a lion against his four assailants. ? By a lucky blow he put a second out,of power to do him any more harm, bUjt ty^'p combat was so unequal, and' being him self wounded, he certainly would hi&h$ succum cd bad he^not perceived his ser vant Jacob. "Como on Jacob!" he cried, whilst fighting desperately. : ) "Here I am, Captain,?' resp^ded^Lgrj^ cob, at the window, with a pistol i^cpicj^ band. But in this furious scuffle the1 ?nTj*.: light they had had ?been extinguished, and Jacob could distinguish nothing in the dark. "Where are you>- captain Vx said he. "Here!" repliedKeraudrin. ' *?V "Fire away, where else ?" Jacob fired shot after shot at random, Keraudran, profiting by the'fright of JuV opponents, rushed, to the dooi?;. trying to break it open. The report of tho pistols, hodi reached' the hotel. "What is the matter?" saidi Lartier, in terror. "They shoot omr another t That is the way that Rousseau does." At that moment Keraudran appeared - at the hotel, covered with blood ; 3iin clotnes torn, his naked sword in one hand, whilst with his right arm he hugged the still faint Matilda. . "Ah! band of traitors that you are,'' cried he with a terrible voice,, "you at tract hero the officers of the Republic^' and put yourselves ten against one assassinate them. By the Great Jeho? ? vah; you infamous brigands 1 J will . have the last one of you shot!,' 1 "Mister officer! citizen- captain !" said Lartier "it is not me?we are not tne ones." "Silence! Obey me!" interrupted Ker? audran, carriage, ana no reasoning five minutes!" A minutes later, Matilda, Nathaniel/ I and the Baron DeLarey, were going at full speed, toward to castle DeKcruudnui, | where they arrived without accident, Once at tho cas'le, they had to conduct themselves with prudence, whilst waiting to procure passports. The Baron Do Larcy, passed for a gardener, under the assumed name of Robineauv n.nd Matilda for a chambermaid. They kept them selves concealed as much as possible, waiting anxiously for the time to come, to exile themselves to a strange land, without peril. One morning, Nathaniel being alone in tho hall, Jacob entered quito frightened, saying, "Captain do you duow what they sajf about you ? they say that your castle is, to be searched." I "Aud why ?" asked Keraudran, turn* ? ing polo, of this terrible news. \ "They pretend that you harbor out laws in your castle, it is one of those trifling scamps, that you handled BO roughly, who has denounced you. They .will be hero in one hour," "Well let them come 1" answered Ker audran coolly; "placo yourself at the reception door to receive.thorn." Aa soon coon as he went out, Korau-' dran, joined tho Baron DeLarey and Ma tilda, He shut them ttpdn a small secret! cabinet, place near his alcove and weitet} quietly for tho delegates of tho commune, | a few momonts after, the mayor entered J> ho was -Ic-jiS ?mu df?aoed as a privilto citizen, TO VOSTIinjBD* "I requiie three horses for my .?, and no reasoning !
