FATE OF A LIGHTING DOG.
BY 1". BUKT IIAUTFi
A man he owned a terrier dog?
A bob-tailed onery cuss?
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

vah; you infamous brigands 1 J will .

Lartier "it is not me?we are not tne

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."
