and it's those rivers, l\u2019m told, that cause tbe sandbanks and things that makes the upper part of the bay dangerous to vessels.The promontory on this side is called Ross Ben, and it\u2019s upon it that most of the vessels that aro wrecked run; for, generally, masters of ships know nothing of this part of tho cosst; and often, when they could get easily enough thru the channel into Castlemaine harbor, they'll be lost for want of knowing where safety is to be found.Well, sir, long ago, when this country was a deal wilder than it is now, and had but two or three families living in it, there was one Courane that held a lot of, ground down by Ross Beh; and all this lace here was waste and barren, and he bad in & manner the whole of tho lower parts hereabout; for tbere was no one to | uso it but he, the other tenants living up the, Glen ; and, indeed, there was not many of: them, and few resorting to these parts, but, people that would be on their keeping, and cattle stealers, smugglers, and such like; so; that Courane, as 1 was saying, bad this, whole placo to himself, he and bis family, | and lived down near the sea, wbero he had a long low house, and as many flat stones ouliged to be laid oa the thatch, to keop it from blowing away, as would have slated it twice over.He had two sons living with Lim, and the wife and children of bis eldest son, that was off out of the country (on account of somelhing that happened at the fuir of Killoylin a year or two before the time I'm talking of), and bis two daughters, and their busbands and children; so that the bouse was Pres full; but they were snug people, and had plenty of ovory thing \u2014besides what they got now and then from 1 wreck ; tho, indeed, Courane wasn't crave.ing in that way, bat would let any of the people that might bo saved take what they wished or wanted, and would share with the other tenants; so that he had the good word and good wish of all who knew him.Well, sir, it was winter time, and had been blowing bard from the westward of north for some days, until, at last, it blew up intoa regular gale of wind, and was blowing all night; and, just about the going away of night, Cournane and bis family wero awuk- ened with bearing three or four guns fired from the sea, and seeming to come nearer every report.\u2018God\u2019 help all poor souls in distress at say to night! says Tim\u2014(that was his name, sir)\u2014\u2018Get up, boys,\u2019 says he, \u2018and we'll go and see if we can help the cratures.\u201d And they got up and put on them, and down they went.And, when they came down, there was the strand all covered over with pieces of wreck; aod they begun gathering them together, and they found the bodies of nine or ten men, all dead ; and, a little distance higher up the beach than the rest, there was a big dog, lying by what seemed to be the body of a man; but, when they came to him, they found the life was in him yet; and he was brought up to the house.And they went on searching about till they got all they could, for the neighbors came down soon; and they brought their gatherings up to the house with them, and found the man that was saved there quite well, only his arm that was broken\u2014which they got a knowledgeable man in the neighborhood to set; and then they learned all about the ship and crew.The man that was saved wus the captain of her, and was coming home from the West Indies with rum and sugar, and a good deal of dollars and other things.when they were driven into Dingle Bay by stress of weather.And they could not get into Dingle or any where, but went ashore under Ross Beh; and bad only time to get out the boats when she went to pieces\u2014being old, and crazy, and heavy laden\u2014and the boats were swamped belore they got far from the wreck, and only the captain saved, that was brought ashore by the big dog when the rest were drowned.He was owner as well as captain, and was nearly ruined, he said, by the loss, but still thankfal for bis life being saved; and a very nice man all that saw bim said he was.Well, of course, he could not go away very soon, on account of his broken arm, bat stopped a good while at Courane's, and was treated with the best they had, until he was cured; and then one night when they were sitting round the fire talking, he told Courane that he would be for going away the next morning, or as soon as he couln get a horse and guide; and he began to thank him for his kindness and all like this.\u2018Well, Captain,\u2019 says Courane, (Captain Killick, they said his name was), \u201cif you go away this way, you'll go away a poor man,\u2019 says he; \u2018and wouldn't it be tter for you to stop bere with us, and take share of what we have\u2014and wo'll always give you the best of it\u2014than to be going away seeking your fortune again; maybe to lose it all again, when you had it just made \u2014and perhaps not to save the life either, so well as you did now?\u2019 With that the cap tain torned, and looked at him for a little; and\u2014\u2018Its few would make the offer, Tim; says be; \u2018and I thank you for it as much as if I took it; but I bave à wife and children that don\u2019t know where 1 am, and to work for them is my duty.I have a little left still, and, with that and my own work, we'll do well enough, plase God.\u2019 \u2018Then, eir,\u2019 says Tim, \u2018if it'e go you will, God forbid I should keep what's your wife's and your children\u2019s, from them.Here.\u2019 says he, opening the chest, and showing a big bag, \u2018here is what dollars and money was saved from the wreck; they're all yours, we know, from what we heard you say ; and, if we could give you back the goods, we would too; but this yon most take with you, when you go\u2014-and God send you luck with it, wherever you gol' And, \u2018Amen,\u2019 says all the family, bat one.Well, the Captain was twice - thankful as he was belfore\u2014and prom o'd never forget it; and forgave them the rum, and sugar, and the goods.And, says be\u2014\u2018Thats more than my own countrymen would do for me, if was wrecked on their comat; but it's trying to got the vessel wrecked, they'd be,\u2019 And so they asked what he meant; and he toid them how, when be was mate of a vemel, they were in a gale of wind, off the const of Corawall, and saw another sbip's light, as they thought, before them, and stecred after it; and the ship went ashore; and he and somo of the hunds got into a small boat, and were drifted ashore, a long way off; and how, next morning, when they tried to get opposite where the vessel was wrecked, they found that all of their comrades that got ashore alive were murdered, and all the wreck plundered ; and they'd bave been murdered, too, but that there was a magis- trute with some soldiers down on the beach that saved them; and they found that tbe light was no ship's light, but only an old borse that the people got, aud tied a lantern to his tail, and epancelled him, snd drove him along ashore; and it was a way they had in that country.And many other stories ho told ¢¥;m.And tho next day, he wont away ; and, for a long time, they used to hear from him, now and then, and get presents from him, and bear he was getting on well ; but, ut last, they did not bear of him for a long time, and thought he was lost.About that very time, there came n couple of bad seasons together; and Courane's crops were scaut, and a blast camo over Lis cattle, and many of thom died, and more wero drowned or clifted, and things were getting bad with him; and just that minute the landlord took to raise his ront; and, \u2018every way, ho was going down in the world.! There was a daughter\u2019s husband of his, that lived with him, a black-minded kind of a man, that was tho only one that refused to say sAmen,\u2019 whon he wished Capt.Killick luck with the money, and was never rightly satis- tied with anything, but would be always com- | plaining and grumbling, until the neighbora | called Lim \u2018Shawn Grownuith,;\u2019 wbich means | sgrumbling Jick;' and he grumbled twice as much at that\u2014and, of course, the more he grumbled, the more they touk dolight in calling it to him.This follow would never let Courune alone, since be gave tho dollars back to the captain; and used to be saying, he'd want them some time or other, and be sorry for parting with them.And now when the trouble came, you may bo sure he didn\u2019t spare bim, but worried the life fairly out of the poor mun.It wus the month of March, just coming on Ladyday; and if Courane hadn't the rent ready to the minute, ho was to bo served with motive, and, of course, would bo turned out without any mercy.And, as ho was sitting ono day, thinking on what he would do, this Grumbling Jack begins to bullyrag him again about tho money ho guve the captain back, and telling him how comfortable he would be now, if he had kept it; and, at Inst, the poor man says, \u2018Well, leave me alone, Jack,\u2019 says he; \u2018the monoy\u2019s gone, and 1 wish I had it back in any way, if \"twas only to stop your mouth; but I fear there is not much chance of that.| wish that captain would send us as much as would pay the rent any way, and we'd forgive him the rest,\u2019 says he.\u2018I'm afeurd you'll wait long enough till he sends you the money, says Grambling Jack: \u2018but sure he taught you how youd have a chanco of getting some, if you\u2019vo only courage to try.\u201d \u2018What do you mean, mun ?says Courane.\u2018What I mean is plain enough,\u2019 says Jack, \u2018and it's long enough ago you'd do it, if you weren't a fool, There's two large vessels come into the bay this morning ; and now the equinoctials are blowing, and they'll be obliged to run up the bay ; and, if we tic a lanthorn to your ould horse and spancel him, and turn him out, tho way the captain said, cach of them will think it's the light aboord the other that ho sces; and we'll bavo them both in the thrap before morning, or one of them at least; and then we'll have a chance of getting more than you gave to that captain, like a big fool\u201d \u201crod forgive you, Jack!\" gays tho old man.\u2018Is ita murderer you want to make me?\u2019 ways he.\u2018Sure, isn't it botter than to be a beggar 7\u2019 says Jack ; \u2018and what murder is it to tio a lanthorn to an old horse's tail, that would Lo spancelled and turned to graze ?\u2014but \u2019twould be ten thousand murders to lose the farm, and the stock, and be turned out to beg the world wide.\u201d And he went on till the old man waa fairly bothered :\u2014and\u2014 \u2018Let me alone,\u201d says he, \u2018und hould that tongue of yours that never had a pleasant word on it yet ; and I charge you never to presume to tallt of the likes to me again.\u2019 And so he went away ; and says Jack to himself, \u2018Ile didn\u2019t tell me not to do it\u2014 only I don\u2019t know what to do for a lanthorn\u2019 \u2014und away he went, poking about, mighty serious ; but, a3 it was always the way with him, it was nothing good that ho was thinking about, but quite the contrary.\u2018Well, sir, that very eveningit came on to blow pretty fresh, and before durk it was a regular hurricane ; and the family were sitting down eating the potatoes, when ull of a sudden Cournane missed Grumbling Juck, and ho asked where bo was ; (for he was always sure to be first in at meals, and to eat more than any two of the others, tho all the time he'd be talking and abusing the very potatoes he'd be putting into his mouth\u2014 and signs by, they never throve with him, for he was always a yallow, hungry-looking wretch ;) but no one knew anything about him, till one of tbe childer said they saw him riding the ould horse off to the priest's that day, but wouldn't tell what ho wanted, only eaid maybe he wouldn't be homo until late, and not to be waiting for him ; and so they thought no more about it, but ate their supper and went to bed ; for the night was so bad that they thought, of course, that Jack would stop out at the street near the chapel\u2014all but old T.m, that was uneasy in his mind when ho remembered what they had beon talking about in the morning, and couldn't sleep.And so he sat up by the fire smoking by himself, and all the rest of them snoring about him, until it was getting into the morning, and the gale was just at its beight, when there came some one to the door and tried the latch ; and when whoever it was found that it was fastoned within\u2014 for they put a spade again\u2019 it when they went to bed\u2014they put their shoulders to it and broke the ould door off the hinges; and in they camo, two men dressed like nailors, and all wet and tired ; and, when the first of them saw ould Tim, he calls out \u2018Father I\u2019 and catches bim round the neck, and begine screeching and roaring till he woke the whole family ; and be fell to kissing the old man às if it were a purty girl he had, instead of an ould fellow, with a goat's-skin beig on him, and the dudheen jammed fast in bis mouth\u2014for he didn\u2019t got time to take it out, but was half-choked with the smoke before be could get loose ; and when be did, \u2018Is that my son, Pat ?\u2014and what brings you here now, and dressed that way ?' says he.\u2014l'm your ron, Pat, and I'm dressed this way, because I'm second mate 'board a ship, with one Captain Killick, if you know him; and that's what brought me here ; and all bands must come down to the shors with me, for fear anything would happen ; for she's in the bay to-night.With that, all | got up; and, while they were putting on them, Pat said a fow words to his wv and children, and then away they set down to the shore together.It was blowing]harder every minute, and they could scarcely get along ; but, by dint of creeping, they made a little way, and, just as they got out of the shelter of the garden ditch, \u2018Sail, ho!\u2019 says the other sailor that came with Pat; \u2018I see her light off here, just on a line with the gab, and she seems to be standing to the northward,\u201d says ho.So, when he pointed it out,\u2014*God forgive us, that light's on the top of the Cliff,\u2019 says ould Tim; and then his mind misgave him about Grumbling Juck, and \u2018For the love of God, boys, run that way, a couple of ye, and see what it is,\u2019 says bo.Just then it moderated a little be- twecn two squalls, and a couple of the \u2018younger mon mude for the light, and the second sailor with them ; and the rest went straight down towards the shore; and, as they went along, they saw the light begin to move very fast all of a sudden, and then it wont out all at onco; and thon, as it in a minute, the storm ceased, and the clouds dispersed, and it became quite lightsome like, with the gray ol the morning, \u2018I'm thinking that light was there for no good, says Pat; \u2018it must have been something more than common, or the gale wouldn't stop s0 soon after it went out; but here, were on the beach.\u2019 And, sure enough, when the got down, they saw the ship a short distance from them, just standing off the land ; and, as the weather was moderating every minute, she made a good tack off into tho bay, and the day came on quite calm and beautiful ; and there she lay, and they watching her for some time, until the young men that went after tho light came down to them, looking mightily grave, entirely.\u2018What ails ye, boys?\" says ould Tim ; \u2018and what's come of the light \u2018Oh\u2019 then, that was the bad light for somo people,\u2019 suys one of the lads.\u2018What do you moan ?' suys they, all at once.\u2018Come this way, and you'll see,\u2019 says he\u2014and they did, and sare enough when they come round a corner of the rock, thero, at tho bottom of one of the highost cliffs, was the ould horse lying dead, with tho lanthorn the priest used to have to take out at night with him, when ho was going to a sick call, tied to his tail, and grumbling Jack lying near him, all smashed to pieces, and tho life just in him enough for him to ba able to speak.And his story was soon told :\u2014lle wont to the priest's to borrow the lanthorn, pretonding he wanted to fotch the doctor man to some of the family, and tied it round the ould horse's tail, and was driving him along the cliff, spancelled, for n falso light to the vessels ; and whon be heard the boys that were sont to see what it was, spouking, he got frightened, and took of the spancel, and got on the horse to gallop away; but the ould horse was blind, and took him over the cliff; and he died in about half an hour, screeching for the priest; and thoy say his ghost is seon every storm night driving a headless horse along that very cliff.And he was the only one that over set up a false light at Ross Beh\u2014and that's how he suffered for it.And wasn't it curious, sir, how Pat came in just at that minute\u2014tor Le'd been put ashore in the morning with the other man, that was from Killoylin, to go and see his family; and they loitered on their way from Coonunna to Ross Beh, and s0 they came in so late ?\u2018But the rest of the family, and Captain Killick\u2014what became of them ?\u2019 said I.\u2018Oh, sir, all 1 heard more, was just tbe end of the children\u2019s story\u2014that \u2018they lived as happy as the day was long ;' and if they didn\u2019t, that you and L may !\u201d FENDERS WANTED, for the erection of the new Episcopal church in this Village, Plans and Spocifications on view at the residence of Cantclo Blachford, Esq., on and after the 5th of April.Tenders to be opened on the 25th April.The lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted, By order of the Building Committee, J.C.BRUCE, Secretary.Huntingdon, March 30.A RARE CHANCE.O LET, a Luilding suitable for a Butter Factory, 45 feet long, with a good well attached, in the village of Hemmingford.The milk of about 350 cows can be secured.Apply to H.O'NEILL.Hemmingford, March 30.NEW GOODS!

repose beside those of her first husband.An investigation showed that No.1, who had been twice married, was peacefully resting between his two wives, whereupon resort was had to No.2.Singularly

but in a few moments glided off into deep water, Suddenly it was discovered that the vessel was leaking badly, and the captain determined to steer for a safe beaching ground.Under a full head of

in ten minutes died.Ton minutes later Mrs Smith, a third sister, was a corpse.The physicians were nonplussed and the greatest consternation spread thru the household.The only theory upon which the
