ELOQUENT THIEF.
Pcverell, when he left Lucy’s, pro-
ceeded at once to the mayor,s house, but
on his way thither be was overtaken by
a crowd of persons who were moving tu-
multuously alone‘. His curiosity was ex-
cited, aud be enquired what had happen-
cd. He was informed that they had a
thief in custody, and were conveying
him to be examined before his worship.
Pcverell worked his way into the middle
of the crowd, and beheld a tall, athletic,
gipscy-looking youth, in the gripe oftwo
constables. wizilc to his g‘l'efl.tSt1l‘].‘.l‘ISC, he
saw iniiic host folloiriiig close behind,
with it loaf of l)l‘f:tl_(.'l under -his arm,
which it seemed, the culprit had stolen.
The appearance of the delinqticnt was
such as attracted I’cverell’s attention.—-
His make was muscular, his step firm,
and his stzttiire erect. His countenance
was swnrtliy, and overhung with raven
locks, wliiclidcsccndcd in natural curls
down the sides of his face. His cyes
were large, dark and piercing, full of
gloomy purpose and sullen desperation.
On his upper lip he were large musta-
chios. There was a pleasing expression
of benignity in his mouth, and his teeth
were regular, and of exquisite whiteness.
His dress was tattered and bespoke pov-
erty ; buthis mien and gesture were such
as commanded respect. Even the rude
rabblc who were gathering round him,
and who, ever ready to insult and deride
him whom the fangs 'of justice have
caught, even they looked on with ailcncc.
Asthe crowd moved slowly forward,
various were the conjectures which were
hazarded. Sonic thought he was the
murderer of the man whose body could
not be found; some wondered whether
he was a wandering knight in disguise;
while others gravely hinted he might be
amagician——-and now they had caught
him, perhaps there would be no more
coil in the abbey. I
They had now arrived at the house of
his worship, and Pcverell took the oppor-
tunity of speaking with him before he
was engaged in examining the prisoner.
He then informed him of the persons
who were waiting without to bring a
culpritbeforc his worship, and mentioned
what appeared to be the remarkable
utility of the accused yotitli.
‘I’ll find his quality out, I warrant,’
said his worship, ‘as you shall see, and
you have time to wait the examina-
tion.’
Pcverell readily conseittcd, and accom-
panied his worship into the room where
he usually gave audience on occasions of
this kind. Being seated in his chair of
state, witbhis clerk beside him, be im-
mediately proceeded to business, by in-
quiring what was the nature of the charge
against the prisoner.
‘An’ it shall please your worship’s rev-
erence, said one of the constables, ‘this
vagrom is a thief!’
‘A thief!’ rejoined his worsliip.—_
‘What has be stolen, and who is the ac-
cuscr.’
Mine host stopt forth and briefly sta-
ted that the culprit after walking several
times to and fro opposite his door, which
as his worship knew it as the sign of the
Rose—
‘Yes, Master \Vintour,’ interrupted
the mayor, ‘I know, and moreover I
know that a mug of as good ale may be
had under the Rose as can be drunk in
all St. Alban’s : but proceed.’
Mine host thanked his worship for his
good word and went on-
‘He walked several times up and down
as I said, when anon, though he saw me
on abcnch near, he snatched this loaf
from a table and ran off with it. I ran
after liim,,raised a hue and cry, and soon
brought him back : but when I was ask-
ing him a few questions, be watched his
opportunity and darted olfa,-,raiii with the
loaf like a greyhound. \Ve followed,
and a devil of a chase (saving your wor-
ohip's presence) he led us over hedge:
and ditches, up hill and down dale ba-
l
fore no soul.‘ iaicla h'it.iI.. At last he ran
into a lane that had no thoroughfare, and
then we secured him : and now here he
is to answer for himself.’
‘Aye, aye,’ said his worship, ‘I see how
it is; he wanted hissupper and was too
lazy' to work for it; but we’ll give him a
dinner and a supper too, I wurrnnt.’--
Then turning to the prisoner, ‘Thou
naughty vurlet,' he continued, ‘ivhathuve
you to say?’ '
The culprit, who had rt-smained unmo-
ved during the whole ofmiiie liost’s dep-
osition, lookcd with a steady glance first
at the accuser, and then at the mayor,
now came forward with a deliberate step,
und in answer to his woi'isliip’s question,
simply pronounced the word, ‘Nothing,’
in a hollow but manly voice.
‘You have nothing to say, eh I’ said
his worship.
‘Nothing!’ said the prisoner in the
same tone. '
‘And do you know that you will be
whipped, and set in the stocks, and sent
to prison '2’
‘Yes.’
‘VVliat is your name I’ inquired the
clerk.
‘I have no name ; I, lost it when I for-
feited iny honesty.’
‘What are you 7’ laid his worship.
‘A man !’
‘How do you live I‘
‘Like the rest of the world—as well as
I Can.’ 4
‘Where do you live '2’
‘IIerc now, to-morrow, any where l’
‘Really,’ exclaimed his worship, wax-
ing a little wrathfnl at what he consider-
ed the saucy bluntness of his answers :
‘really you are a very pretty rascul.—-
Perhaps you expect to got off by this de-
vise ; but you will find out your iiiistakc.’
‘I expect you will do your duty,’
ed the culprit; and then I suppose Isball
be imprisoned, ‘wliipt, and set in the
stocks.’
‘I undertake to promise you all three,’
rejoined his worship ; ‘firstl would fain
know a little more of_vou. I am fond of
original characters, and you seem to be
one. VVhat made you steal this main;
bread I’
‘VVnnt 'l’
Aye, aye, that is always the ready plea;
btit if you are in wuut, why not work,
and cat honest bread I’ ‘ ‘
‘VVho will employ me? No one l
The world’s doors are shut against me !’
‘Wliy did you not eat the loaf when
you perioincd it, ifyou -wanted it I’
‘There are wants of the soul,’ replied
the youth, ‘as well as the body ; mine
was the former.’ —
‘Come, come,’quoth his worship, ‘This
is trifling with the respect due to mine
office. I insist upon knowiugyour name,
that the clerk may enter it in the deposi-
tion. VVhat is your name, sirrnb 'l’
‘George VVi1son. Have you ought
more to do with me I’
‘Oh !’ exclaimed his worship, in a
tone of irony, ‘what I you have a name,

dare be sworn you have an alias too. -

‘I have answered you,’ replied the
prisoner calmly, but proudly. ‘NVIHII

‘None,’ said his worship.
to prison.’ _
The constables were about to remove
him, when he put them aside with a dc-
liberatc air, and addressed his worship :
‘Having answered all your questions,
now hear me. I have been brought
before you as an ofl'ender against the
laws. My ofl'ciice_is small, and I hope
justifiable in the sight of Heaven,’ and
he raised his eyes, streaming with tears.
‘God knows from what motives I have
acted! they were solemn ones.’ His
voice faiultcred a little, but he soon recov-
ered biswonted firmness. ‘It was your
duty,’ he continued, ‘to take the deposi-
tions of my accuser, and to act upon
them according to law. But who gave
you power,who gave you a right to insult
me with needless questions, to oppress
me with your puny wit I The concious
ncss of that protection which the station
throws around you, should have made
you merciful. I incensed you by no in-
solence ofmaiiner, by no turbulence of
conduct. I bore your taunt, with mild-
ness. Surely it wotild become you to
distinguish between the hardened sinner
and the lowly one—between the perpe-
trator in great misdeeds and the offender
in trifling ones.
§VVliat is the amount of my crime ‘I-
I attempted to despoil this man of a loaf
of bread. I had no money; I had no
friends ;I had no home; but I had-—God
‘Take him

a father! an aged, helpless, blind, and
dying father, calling aloud for food, and
no raven of the desert to bring it liim,~
Poor old man! I would have plucked
the morsel from a hungry bear to have
given to thee rather than still have beheld
thy sightless eye-balls rolling in their
sockets, and turning towards Heaven to
implore its pitying help!
"VVliat had I to fear from man 2..
From man, who is my brother ! From
man, whose heart should feel for misery!
Three long days, and three miserable
nights has my father fasted ; during that
time he has pined, inch-meal away ;in
that time he lins drunk nothing but the
water of the stagnant pool; in that time
he has cursed his existence ; during all
that time has he groaned beneath the ob-
ony grasp of death! Stretched on the
bare earth, with no other shelter btit the
inclement skies; but what the embow
ering trees could give him ; no pillow for
his head but the green turf, no cov-
repli-'
gring for his wastitig body, but his tatter-
ed clothes, there he lies, dark, dark, and
furnished.
‘I have shared his hunger; I have
sliaretl his wntcliing ; I have sat by
him and longed to hear his lust sigh l-—
Every niomeiit I expected it, and i would
not leave him. His cries for food I eva-
ded, believing death to be at hand. I
sbuddercd at the thought of lengthening
a wretched life it few sad hours l I sat in
gloomy desperation, hoping to see him

I panted, I thirsted to 'oe'..oltl that wasted
ft.rm stretched intlic arms of cleatli,for
vthatn life to the blind, the aged, the
needy, and the ailing! \’Vho that is thus
bowed down with the iiifirinities of na-
ture, and oppressed by the tyranny of
man, would arrest the silent strides of
death I Do you abhor the savage of the
desert who leaves his aged parent to per-
ish? In is more niercifiil than we, who
shut out the grave, even when we are
shut out from the world and the world’s
delights !
‘Fixed was my gloomy -purpose, and I
sat, in horrid silence by my father, heav-
ing in the throes of death. W'ith the
green mantle of the standing pool I wot-
ted his lips as often as he called for drink;
when he moaned for food I was silent as
a mole; he knew nofthat I was near
him. lleart rending was my task, and
dreadfully Ifulfilled it. VVhcn the dark
ness of nitrht encompassed the creation,
when all was stillness and solemn gloom,
then have I sat impatiently listening to
my father as ho gasped for life! The
fevcr’s fiery fang bad unstrung his joints,
and he could not move. Still as he culled
for drink [was at hand; but when he
bade inc feed him, I answered not. Vain
hope l Each morning dawn showed him
still living - but still dying. ,
‘The length of my trial subdued my
resolution ; the energy which despair
and misery had lent me was weakened ;
the iron purpose of my heart gave way,
and when I saw my father lingering in
the pangs of death, yet struggling to live;
when I viewed his emaciated form still tri-
umpliing ovcr hunger and the fcver’s
rage: when I bclteld him gnawing the
very earth on wliich he lay to satisfy the
ravenous cravings of his fumished stom-
ach, my soul ycarned with pity, and I
left him this morning with the desperate
resolve ofprocuriu-g food for him at what-
ever hazard. Filled with resolution, I
pzisscd your door; I rc-passed it : Ibo-
pcd to interest your comp-.-is-ion by my
looks, but you had no commerce with
pity. I then seized the loafand fled, not
hastily, or I might have escaped. I was
brought back. An agonizing thought of
my father’s condition came across my
mind, I rushed forth again, pursued by
you and others ; I was dcccivcd in that
lane ; I thought it led_ to where my fath-
er lay. If it had, and Icouldli-ave drop-
ped the bread by his side, I would have
turned to yoti, and delivered up myself
without a struggle. . But it was other-
wise ordained ! and now glut your rc-
venge, here I am, a poor, forsaken, per-
secutt,-d outcast. You know my crime ;
you have it recorded also- I would have
robbed him to feed a dying parent! --
Perhaps by this time he is dead. Heav-
en grant it may be so I I am your pris-
oncrl Oyly let me know my father’s
spirit is released, that it is in another
world, and you may command this car-
casc of mine to what part of this world
it may please you to send it !’
Here he paused, and never did an 0-
ration of lilemosthenes of Cicero pro
duce an equal effect. After a silence of
some minutes, which was more expres-
sive than any language could have been,
mine host, in a stammering voice, ad-
dressed his worship, observing, ‘that, as
we are all Christians alike, he thought
for his part we ought to behave like
Christians one to another ; and though
he might not choose to have his bread
taken away by any Jack that had a fancy
to purloin it, yet could he have known
at the time what he knew then, all the
bread in his house, and all the meat in
his larder, yea, and all the ale in his
sellar might have kept company with
that loaf if they could have carried com-
fort with thcm to the poor creature who
had pined with hunger three days and
nights.’
His worship, who when the dignity of
ofiice did not interfere, had a really kind
and compassionate heart in his bosom,
looked at mine host as he spoke with a
glistening eye, for he devincd his'mean-
ing, and secretly lauded it. It was not
for him, however, sitting in the chair of
justice, and sworn to admiiiisterit impar-
tially, to propound an escape for the pris-
oner; but he very significantly pointed
otit how it might be done, while gravely
deprecating such a course. Pcverell
comprehended hishumaneintention, and
by a timely hint to mine host. enabled
him to withdraw his charge, which be
instantly did, to the infinite satisfaction
of all present.
‘I am free to depart, then,’ said the
youth. '
‘You are,’ replied his worship.
‘Then let me be gone,’ he continued,
‘every moment is precious, and I should
ill deserve the liberty I have regained
were I to waste it in sloth, nor to fulfil the
purpose of my absence.’ '
Pcverell and mine host agred to ac-
company him to the spot where he left
his father, and the mayor’s kitchen sup-
plied him with viands and a flaggon of
cordials, which Crab, who heard the.
whole proceeding, placed under the
youths arm, with an honest ‘God bless
you,‘ as he left the house.

From the lrfontlily Magazine.
IEURAT ON AIVIERICA.
The volume before us affords some
evidence of that variety of fortune which,
since the full of their chief, has befallen
the Buonaparte family. \Vliile the ex-
kiug of Spain has been living in one part
of America, in the midst of wealth and
profusion, the Prince Royal of the Two
Sicilies, after an unsuccesful attempt to
--stablish himself as a farmer in Florida,
and after measuring his strength at the
bar with “brother Jonathan,” has been
compelled to seek his living as a soldier
of fnrttine, first in the service of King
Leopold, of Belgium, and since in that
oftlie young Queen of I’ortug:'il.
The letters, of which the voltime con-
sists are ncldessecl to the author’s friend,
Count Thibeaudan,‘and are dated some
of them from his farm in Florida, some
from his subsequent place of residence
'!ll’. Liponn, one or two from London, and
and the rest. froin Brussels. In return
ing to Europe,soon after the French rev-
olutioii, he tells us that he expected to
find the frontier open to him. and that
having been disappointed in that expec-
tation, be was compelled to seek em-
ployment in a neighbouring state. His
previous changes are thus alluded to in
his first letter from Brussels :—
“My life has been greatly agitated.
Chance has placed me in many singular
positions, many of them contradictory to
each other. I have always obeyed her
dictates, curious to see where the stream
would lead me on which I had einbarketl;
and, in faith, I have never foiiitd myself
for astray, I liavc gatlicrcd flowers on the
ban ks to which I have been carried, with-
out knowing well how, and the short:
which I expected to find the most barren
has often proved the most agreeable sen-
sations. Established in a new country,
like that I have described a reverse of for-
ttiiic placed my finances in asituation of
cinbarrnssment. Attlie age of six and
twenty I resolved on becoming an advo-
cate. I purchased from one of my neigh
hours, who was lgpving off practice, his
professional libra'try, for which I gave him
a pair of oxen, and a bill of exchaiige
payable at a distant date. During the
following winter I applied myself to the
study of law, without, however abandon
ing my pltlllllltlolt till spring, when lfinal-
ly withdrew from the business of farin-
ing."
The change here spoken ofis trifling
tothat which lie elsw lierc describes ofaN.
Euglaud-carpenter, who, like the Ameri-
cans iii gciicral, had been well edticatcd,
but who, had he remained at home,would
probably have been a carpenter for life.
This person left his native town, and went
to one of the new countries ofthe ‘Vest,
to establish liiniself on the banks of one
of their great rivers as a builder. Al-
though without capital, he foitiid no diffi-
culty in contracting for the erection first
of private houses, and afterwards ofpub-
lic edifices, mi credit. Ills workmen
were paid on credit, and he bimselflived
on credit at his inn or boarding-house.
In spite of these disadvantages the builder
began to thrive; he bought a piece of
land, built iuills and manufactorics upon
it, and so became a mller and manufac-
turer. ‘vVith his first cargo he went to
New Orleans, and was there. induced to
enter on other SpCCUIt1tl')l]S. He purcha
sed a steam-boatlfor the conveuiance of
his trade, and ultimately established him-
self iii that city as a merchant. A great
speculation soon presented itself,on which
be readily entered, and in cotisequence
of an error in his calculations, he lost
all that he possessed. There was noth-
ing to prevent him, however, from begin-
ning the world again. Being known as
a man of enterprise, he soon found an in-
dividual or company who confided to him
first the direction of a wood yard, then
the management of a plantation, after-
wards the erection of a house, and final-
ly the command of :1 steam-vessel. In
the course of these clianges he was not
idle. The savings of his slavery be ap-
plied to the purposes of speculation, and
at the end of a couple of years was able
to start once more from a higher point
than that at which be had first set out on
leaving his native town. He set up an
inn and undertook, in addition, to con-
tract for the execution of works of all
sorts. He made himself exceedingly
popular, was elected first an officer of
militia, and in succession a justice of the
peace, a member of the state legislature,
and finally a member of Congress. Find-
ing himselfadmired as a public speaker,
be resolved to cultivate his newly discov-
cred talent. During the interval of two
sessions, he applied himself to the study
of the law, and before the next meeting
of congress was regularly called to the
bar. in the meantime, while thus ap-
plying himself to the business of the state
his own affairs were neglected. He was
once more redticcd to poverty, and bad
the mortificaticii to find that he was not
re-elected to his seat in the legislature.‘
He applied biiiiself with zeal to the prnc-‘
tice of his new profession, and with cor-
responding success; he became a direct-
or of the U. States’ Bank, the governor of
his nzuir:-. siittli‘, and ended his career as
ajurig;- 3:: o.-:5. of the supreme courts at
‘Na.-‘hiiigtoii. .
L. S["rll.:{ of his own failure, M. Murat
speaks ofthe period he passed at the A-
merican bar as one of the most agreeable
of his life. He expected, he says, to find
it extremely irksome, because it was so
completely opposed to all his previous
habits, tastes and ideas; but, on the con-
trary, he says that he could pass his life
there with pleasure “even if forced to bc
p-jlem,” In America he. tells us that the
lawyers are the only statesmen, the truel
aristocracy of the country, and that, in
general members of the same bar, how-
ever warmly they may dispute in court,
live together in the greatest harmony.-—
Of the assizes he speaks as of a sort of
festival, at which the principal inhabit-
ants of the assize town, are the entertain-
ers, and the court, its officers, and its bar
are the guests. In his latter letters from
London and Brussels, he compares the
style of oratory in the United States with
that of England, and does not hesitate to
give his preference to the former. “I
have had opportunities,” he says, of hear-
ing the principal apeakers in G. Britain,
but I am bound in conscience to say that
there is no man in the English Parlia-
ment who speaks like Clay, VVebster,
VVirt, Berrien, Hopkinson, or Hnyne.
Had they subjects half as interesting to
discuss, with what lustre would they not
surround them! But the time is coming
when the American Congress, like the
British Parliament, and the forum of an-
cient Rome, will become the arbiter gen-‘
tium.”
The manners of the Americans are
spoken of by M. Murat in a very differ-
ent tone from that of Mrs. Trollope.-
“It is the spirit of-independence,” he says
produced by their form of goverment,
which chiefly distinguishes them from
the English ;for physically and externall
ly they are very much alike. If you go
for instance, into what is call the best
society of New York, you will find very
little difference between them and the
corresponding classes in London. At
New York this circle is composed of mer-
chants who liavejust reached the top of

who take_s the trouble to pass himself off

of avoiding politics, at least in conver

Excuse FOR S'rr..u.iNG .4. lIoasE.—Ri-
ding out of a respectable town in the
north of Ireland, contiguous to the dis-
trict culled Kilhivey, which is celebrated
for its hogs, it gentleman met one of the
turf-sellingPaddies of the“lioly sod,” ap-
parently in much tribulation. The’ ven-
der of peats approaching the gentleman
with a true Irish cast up of his hand to
what had once been a hat, accosted him
with “Please yer aniier, wud yez be pleas-
ed to show us the road to Lundun 'I”—-
Somewliat surprised at Pat’s enquiry, the
geiitleiiiati replied by asking his busine~s
in London. “Och, an’ plase yer anner,
I’ll till you that same so I will, an’ if yez
’ill jist listen to me, I’ll give yez the

tum.”
“Ye see,” said Pat, “I had a brtidder
that they called Mick, an’ ye see, till in-
since yer anner intil the whole biziness,
my bruddherMick was wonderful faud iv
thcfiiarness, and more-betokemycranner,
the harses the craturs, they had a won-
derful attacbification, all for Mick ;—
\’Vell, ye see" my brudilher Mick was gain’
along the road wan day, wid a halter be-
hiii' his back for no raisin at all at all, for
you see my bruddlier Mick was as inny-
cint a sowl, as the chile tbnt’s not burn,
yer anner. * \Vell, as I tould yez before,
Mick was jist gain’ along the road, think-
in’ about nothin’ at all, an’ he cums up
till a foolish haste iv a hars_e that wus atiu’
grass at the side iv the road, an’ what
dis the foolish haste do, bad luck till him
for that samc,but he rams his head right
intil the halter that Mick was carryin’
behin’ his back, as I tould yer anner, for
no rcisin in the worl‘. Well, ye see,
Mick wint an’ knowin' nothin’ at all a-
bout it till up cums a pleece-man, tha-‘.’s
one of the gintlemen that wares the green
coats yer miner, on’ he hits Mick a thun-
dering thump on the shoulder, an, siz till
Mick, siz lie, “\Veare wud‘ ye be after
t-akin’ the harse till I” siz be. What
harse, siz Mick. Och by the powers, six
Mick, jist luckin’ roun’ a at that blissed
minnit, by the powers an’ there is a harse
folloyin’ me, an’ me know’d notliin’ at
all about id, all the time. “Och none iv
yor gester," siz the pleece-man, siz be,
“but jist come along wid me." An’ wid
that the pleece-man tuck my bruddher
Slick till Dundalk, an, be clapt him iii-
till the stoiie-jug, yer anncr. An’ ye see
Mick bad till understan’ his trial afore
the judgem an‘ the twilve parjurors that
sits in the sintry-box jist beside the jud-
gem ; an’ Mick was sintenced till be ex-
ported for siven years till bat tumless bay
for horse stalin’; on’ now ye see, yer an-
iier, I was wantin’ till see his Majistum
for till try if I can git Mick’s sintence
excommunicated; an’ that's the rasin I
axed yer annex} the road to Lundun.”
