Betty went out or a morning ri e

Who asked poi linden to get inside, .
For !the way \tea long and the roads wer wet,
And edt they jolt, d andhommed about,
The parson said—and his voice was g
"It's .ery good for the health, no doubt,
To ravel one: a road so rough.
"Oh ay," Said Betty, "therett likely °Italia

Or ft ole like that, when its best, perhaps,
That they should have trouble to kerp their

For if once in awhile we should chance to hit
On a rough piece over the road we go,
We'll enjoy inoM heartily every bit
Of the amoother places we find, you knew !"
The parson nodded and held on tight,

Then Said to Betty: "I thinkyou Might

With seldom a jolting up oe down,

STRANG-E-STORY[
1 sas statiOned at Agra during the
Cabuj disaster in 1841, one of a mere
hand ul of British troops, left in charge
of th WI yes, sisters and daught rs of
- the aetors in that unhappy expedition.
And weary, heart -breaking time it
was.. The Lieutenant -Governor, who
had payed and besought the Calcutta
autho ities not to risk the adventure,
had t1ie worst forebodings of its fate;
and athough lie did all aLli able, iind1y`
and w ll-rnannered. nian could Io to
maintain the spirits of the -circle, those
who knew him could read too i Well
what is fears were. Words could not
descri e ---indeed it is painful for me
even ow to recall—the dreary wretch-
ednes of that fatal month, during
which no tidings came of the deVoted
army. Evening after evening saw the
roads rowded lar anxious women; sit-
ting there for hours, that they might
hear the first news of _ those who were
dear tin them, and evening after evening
saw them return in despair. And
when, i.t last, the news came that the
sole su vivor had staggered, half alive,
back to his countrymen- with the tidings
of the great disaster, the wail !that
Wend d from those heart-brpken
creatlntes I shall never, while I live for-
get.
There had been a captain in one of
the native regiments, an old.' acquaint-
ance ofInairie, of the name of Donnelly
—Jen -al Donnelly, as he was called by
every one. ' He was careful to explain
to all his friends that his name was
Jerome; and not Jeremiah, although
why he so unduly preferred the saiet to
- the prophet I never understood. Jerry
Donnelly, however, he was, and as
strange and eccentric a creature as ever
breathed.
He was a very good looking, fellow,
and a first-rate officer, but a careless,
rollicking, half -insane, mad -cap of a
man, With an amazing flow of spirits,
little education or culture, a great—
almost , miraculous—talent for lan-
guages, with a soft heart and easy tem-
per. It was impossible to make him
angry; and in all circumstances, how-
ever unpleasant, . ehe .maintained I a
placid serenity, which seemed to [im-
ply that he was on intimate terms
with fortune, and he luieve the very
worst slie could do. , I
Among the other tricks which the
fickle goddess had played him was
that she had married him. Why he
ever matTied as he did no one could
imagine The lady was -neither hand-
some, clever, nor rich. She was simply-
• passable as to looks, with the lie eli-
, ness of good health and youth—a qual-
ity not i a.pt to develop itself in viva ity
of temp4r when those other attrib tes
- disappear. But, on some impulse, er-
ry Donnelly had asked her the i o-
mentous question, ancl had been fa a or -
ably ansi,vered.
A most uncomfortable couple w re
they. J rty, from the very first neg-
•
lected hr—not intentionally, I bell ve,
but sim ly because for the moment he
forgot herexisteuce. It seenaed to him
unnecessary to alter his fortner.bae -e-
lor round in any respect: and, as he
lady had no notion Of being neglected,
she resented the indifference, aud
chalked out a line for herself. It rq.ay
be easily supposed that the one was riot
averse to brandyeand. water,or the other
to gossip and flirtation. They never
quarreled outwa'rdly, but were hardly
ever together.
So stood the domestic circle, if such
it could be called, of Capt. Donnelly,
when be was ordered on Gen. Elphin-
stone's expedition. His wife would fain
,have remained a; Caicutta, but, as all
the wives were ging .to Agra, she for
very shame was obliged to go there
else. On the firet rumors of the disas-
ter she was very iudifferent—,said she
was sure Jerry would turn up at the
most inconvenient time, and If he was
happy she was. When,- however,. the
tidings were confirmed, and it was cer-
tain Jerry,had pe ished with his corji
rades, a great c ange came over her. bran
She shut herself 1 up for months, saw to th
no one and. wen nowhere. And when, "N
at the end of a year, she began once Mlle
more to look at the world, she was a come
grave, thoughtful softened woman. She turb

said nothing.
"I see you think me deranged, but I
knew he was alive all the time." -
"Why, what could have induced. you
to think so ?"
• "I saw him, Col. Hastings. It was
in Your bungalow at 'Calcutta, about
twol years after 1 htia gone back. Late
in the evening I heard a footstep out-
side which strangely affected Me. I
was lying half asleep, and, starting_ up
in a drowsy state, I heard a voice as
the verandah, and, as I thought, in-
quiring of my stupidold servant
whether I lived there. The steps then
turned away. I darted to the casement,
and _although the figure was clad in
the most extraordinary .' compound of
European and Asiatic garments,
sure' it wee; Jerry. I darted down s
and 'rushed. out, but he had disap
ed. The servaut said. he was a bad
fakir, and wished to get in the bunga-
low,* but could or would tellme nothing
of what he hail said. But I am quite
certain it was Jerry. So I I. am quite
surdhe will come back-L—but you re-
merciber he never was Punctual," she
• added, with a faint smile
aid not say if Jerry. was alive she
must have heard of him in some other
way; but I took leave of her, and short-
ly afterward retUrned to India.
In, 1853 I was appointed to an em-
bassy to Nepanl, a very Striking coun-
try, goveined by a powt-ful, warlike
race. The first Minister or Vizier of
the ',country met Us, as is the Nepaul-
ese fashion, outside of the capitol, and
we had a very courteous and gratifying
reception.. He was a tall, handsome
man, with a flowing black •beard, and
conversed with me in Persian, which
I spoke fluently. After our interview,
one of the -attendants informed me
the Vizier wished to see me alone, and
he accordingly conducted me to an in-
ner apartment. He ordered the attend-
ant to withdraw, and then, in
tones only too familiar, he exclaimed:
"Well, iilastings, my bo
the Plungers ?"
It was Jerry Donnelly,

bastinadoed with eighty blows, , Other
nations thought of limiting the quanti-
ty to be drunk at one time, or at one
Sitting.
The Egyptians establishee. ' some
limit, but what the limit wasels not
stated.
The Spartans also had some limit.
The Arabians fixed the quantity at
twelve glasses at one :time ; but the
size of the glass was uhfortunately not
clearly defined bY historians.
The Anglo-Saxons went no further
than to erder silver nails to be fixed on
the side of drinking cups, that each
might know the proper- measure, and it
is said- that it was done by King Edgar,
after noticing the drunken habiss of the
Danes.
I am J Lyeurgus of Thrace went to the root
tairs of the matter by ordering the vines to
pear- be cnt'clown. His conduct was imitated
in 704 by Terhulns of Bulgaria.
The Suevi prohibited wine to be im-
ported, and the Spartans tried, to
turn the vice into contempt by system-
atically making their slaves art nk once
a year to show their children h w fool-
ish and contemptible men looke in that
state. Druukdnness was deeme much
more vicious in some classes of persons
than in others.

when I heard the weltremembered
voice, I could scarcely realize his iden-
tity.
n But what on earth are you doing
here, J'erry-?" said I, "andi, why don't
• you go home to your wife like a Chris-
tian?"
"My wife! well, that's the whole; af-
fair. You see, she's somebody else's
wife, so I'm better out of the way •S
would be a pity that poor. Sophy should • a
commit bigamy."

"Don't I kuow better a Didn't I go te
back to my owiahungalow and find out t
that she had married that starched fool

To his intense astonishment I told
hirahow the truth was, and in turn he
related to me his adventures. He had
been carried into Tartary, and there de-
tained for three years, when he was al-
lowed to accompany a carata.n or body
of pilgrims to Nepaul. Being by that
time a proficient in the language, he
was taken notice of at court, but very it
strictly - watched. He effected his m
escape, however, disguised as a fakir, ce

The ancients made it a capital
offence for a, magistrate to be drunk;
and Charlemagne imitated tis by
a law that judges on the bench
and pleaders should do their usiness
fasting.
The Carthaginians prohibite magis-
trates, governors, soldiers and rvants-
from any drinking.
The Scots in the second cent y made
it a capital offence for magistrat s -to be
drunk, and Constantine II., of Sc tland,
in 861 extended a like punish • ent to
young people.
Again some laws have actual y pro-

Romans did the sa,me,and exten ed the
prohibition to young men under thirty

"Well, I always was a ' blunderi
fool, but I went home with a heart
soft to Sophy, and avowing that I nev
would vex her any more with my vag-
aries, that, when I heard 'her called
Mrs. Courtnay, I was turned to 'stone,
and did not care a rap what became of
me, even to•be made a Vizier, which, I
assure you, is no joke in its way." .
'Well, at all events, you must come
home now, and enjoy your good for-

•-"I'm nob 'sure. about that," said he.
"Recollect that she has grown accus-
tomed :to be mistress, and I have

Next morning he sent for rue again.
"I have been thinking," he said, "of

am all changed since we parted. I
hardly know myself to be 1 the same
man I used to be, and am not sure I

I will go horee with her. If we quarrel
here, no ono will be the wiser, aud I

"But," said I, "have you no incum-
ces ? Perhaps she might object

she did come, and, Eller liviug in

er
furlough in 1847. She was living in la
pretty place in Somersetshire, and w s
known as Mrs. dourtuay of Brantle
Hall.
I met her accidentally, but she was
very glad to see me, and explained tb
me what I had not heard, that whee
she arrived at Calcutta, she found that
poor Jerry had, four months before he
left Agra, succeeded to this place of
Brantley Hall, by the death of a distant
relation. He had previously made a
will, leaving her all bis worldly goods,
then slender enough, so that in the
end this flue estate had -come to her,
and a new name with it. She asked
me to come down and see her,
which I did, and learned more of her
history.
Sorrow and prosperity had changed
her for the better. Even her looks had
improved, and she was a pleasant,
thoughtful, agreeable woman. She had
• remained four years in Calcutta before
she returned, and had at once assumed
the name of Courtney, which was one
•of the conditions on which the bequest
was made.
" You know-, Col. Hastings, I could.
not have lost thie estate, for what
would poor Jerry la!a,ve said when he
'came back ?"
I thought the . woman's head must
back in triumph to Brantley Hall; e.nii
such is the true version of a tale whieh
made some noise in the newspapers a
few years ago.

Flow They Were Punished in Ancient
Times. -
The offence of drunkenness was a
sonrce of great perplexity among •the
ancients, who tried every possible way
of dealing with it. If none secceeded,
probably it was because theyl did not
begin early enough -by intercepting
some of the ways and means by which
the insidious vice isencited and propa-
gated. Severe treatment wal often
tried -to little effect. I -
The Locrians, under Zeleucus, made
it a capital offence to drink wine if it
was not mixed with water. Even an
invalid was not exempt from punish-
ment uuless by order of a physician.
Pittinus, of Mitylene, made a law that
he who, when drunk, comnaitted an of-
fence, should suffer double the punish-
ment which he would do when sober •
and Plato, Aristotle and Plutarch ap-
plauded this as the height of wisdom.
The Ronan censors could expel a sen-
ator for being drunk ; and could also
take away his horse.
