The Last of The Corans;

Ov the Matal Shot.

AnonG the many fair castle homes of
England, there could be none fairer or
more stately than Coran Castle, Suffolk.
There lived squire Coran, a fine specimen
of his old school—stern, rugged, and un-
bendi sone of his own oaks, yet, with-
al, gen id kindly. ‘The meanest pea-
sant ou his estate walked brisker when he
saw the squire, and smiled for five minutes
after hearing his merry ‘Vine morning ;
lirs her!”

Nearly forty }

had passed since the
squire laid his rl-wile in the vault of
the Corans—nearly twenty since he had
laid by h le the son of their short wed-
lock. Yet Coran Castle was not desolate.
The heir, though he died young had lived
long enough to leave a widow and two
orphan babes to his father’s care. Lhese
orphans were now grown up,and the names
ot Hugh and Enima resounded through the
castle, shouted in the tall, cheery voice of
the hearty old man, Dearly did he love
them both; but Hugh was somewhat wild
and wayward, and would sometimes thwart
his grandsire’s impervious will, One sore
subj ever lay before them ‘The old
squire was 2 giant in stature and strength ;
his youth had’ been signalized by feats of
prowess and daring of which he neyer

wearied to boast. Hugh Coran, on the
contrary, had small taste for field sports,

and, being small and delicate in’ frame
constantly took to himself his grandfather's
careless scolls about ** ladyman” and ** de-
generacy,”

Not half'a mile from Coran Castle wasa
large tract of heath and moorland, very
wild and very lonely, and at that time in-
tested with highwaymen. It was neces-
sary to cross this district to reach the
neighboring village of Wrottel. One day,
in the winter time, Llugh Coran had occa:
sion to go to this vill He did not re-
turn when expected, and dinner was served
without him. Just as it was over, he came
in excusi rdiness by saying that
suspiciou ters had been seen on the
moor, ard therefore he had waited for
companions on his homeward journey.
Lis mother was about to commend what to
her seemed but prudence, when the squire
into a storm of invective
* cowardice.” When had he fear )

mortal man, least of all amidnight robber?
The moorland offered no shelter fora band
of highwaymen, and he took shame that
one of his race dreaded to encounter any
single foe, Old as he was, he would ride
over Coran Moor alone at midnight, and
no hand should harm him or touch his
purse. Ile blushed -yes, that was the
stinging word—tor the last of the Corans
of Coran,

In vain did Tugh answer gently that he
did not think his courage would fail if put
usefully to the proof; that he owned he
possessed but little of the reckless
daring of the ancient Corans; but still he
thought—he modestly said he thought, for
the youth was no braggart—that he would
risk his own life to s¢ smothers, But
the squire’s last words were too much. His
ble yes flashed, he threw down his knife,
leit his dinner untouched, and his mother
and sister in tears,

Ile did ot show himselfall that evening.
Late at night a messenger came trom
Wrottel, bearing tidings of the sudden and
dangerous illness of an old: friend of the
squire’s. The man who brought the letter
went on with another to a more distant
neighbor.

“T shall go at once,” said the squire to
Emma and ber mother, ‘* Luiust see him
again in lite.”

«Then Rogers will attend to you
the mother, timidly.

No, Latymer Coran was no court popin-
jay, who could not tal re of himsell’; he
was not afraid in the dark—cowards were
unknown in his young di
Squire Coran went to his room to pre-
pare for his journey. Boasting never
strengthens one’s courage, and he took

suid

great care that his pistol was in good or-
der, At another time, notwitstanding the

reality of the danger, he would not have
taken the pistol; but now he loaded it with
deadly precision, and laid it carefully in
his greatcoat pocket,

Emma ran to call her brother to say
good-bye, but she found his door locked,
and could get no answer.

“Let him wlone,” said her grandfather,

precept,” and so he rode away,
There was only a cloudy moon, but the
stout-hearted traveler knew his road, anc

ENDEL PHILtirs tells of a slave mother who
babe} when overtaken she took

‘Jet him wlone; example is better than

was as little likely to miss his way on the
moor as is a street Ar@b to lose himself in
London.

Ilis thoughts went before him to his dy-
ing friend, and his indignation with Hugh
slowly faded trom his mind, when, just as
as a cloud obscured the moon, he heard
the snort of as; urred horse, a shadow tell
on his path, a hand suddenly caught his
bridle, and a pistol was pointed at his
head.

** Your money or your lift

The words were spoken quickly, ina
disguised but agitated yoice. There was
just light enough to see the highwayman
was a light-built man, of no apparent phy-
feul force, yet the squire thought of his
vain boast as he felt how completly he was
in the stripling’s power, ‘There was at mo-
ment’s silence, ‘ihe squire’s hand was in
his great-coat pocket. Did the robber think
he was gettiug his purse? Did the squire
know he ting for his pistol?

The highwayman spoke again in the same
strange voice, which seemed tull of smoth-
ered passion or grief; I have heard you
would ne ield to a single man ”

‘The squire’s blood boiled at the implied
taunt, but yet the pistol was terribly near
his head, and he felt that in such a
neither strength nor courage can aly
win victory.

‘Nor would T yield to you,” he said—
he knew now what prompted it in him-—
‘not to you alone; but for that other fel-
low looking over your shoulder,”

The robber started sbudderingly, and
turned, Swift as lightning the squire aim-
ed his own pistol and tired,

For a moment the moorland seemed il-
lumined; outof the fiendish darkness came
alight, sharp almost girlish shrick, A}
second more all was dark and quiet, and
the squire realized he stood alone in the
dim moonlight with a dead man at his feet
A stern man was Latymer Coran, of Co

ned

The fellow laughed, thinking
I was joking with him.

‘What have you got?” said another.

Igave him the same answer. When
they were dividing the spoil, I was called
to an eminence where the cheif stood.

“What property have you got, my
little fellow ?” said he.

“T have told two of your people al-
ready,” said I. ‘*Ihave forty dinars
sewed in my garments.”

He ordered them to be ripped open,
and found my money.

‘And how came you,” said he, in
surprise, ‘to declare so openly what had
been so carefully concealed =”

“ Because,” Lreplied, ** I will not be
false to my mother, to whom I promised
I will never tell a lie.”

“ Child,” said the robber, ‘* hast thou
such a sense of duty to thy mother, at
thy years, and I am insensible, at my
age, of the duty | owe to God? Give me
thy hend, innocent boy,” he continued,
‘that I may swear repentance upon
it)

IIe did so. His followers were alike
struck with the scene.

“You have been our leader in guilt,”
said they to their cheif; *t be the same
in the path of virtue.”

And they instantly, at his order, made
restitution of the spoil, and yowed repen-
tance on his hand.

From Late English Papers.

From Wilmer § Smith's Times, Aug.

Dr. Pusey has written an explanation of
his remarkable letter to. the Wesleyan
Conlerence, He expresses his beliet that

ran,and he was not to be brought toa pruse-
on his journey because he had chanced to
slay athiel) Nor was it the awe and hor-
ror of bloodshed that blanched and flushed |
his cheel he rode on, No, his rigid jus- |
lice a that the man deserved duith, |
only it was not meet that such ashe should |

have betrayed an honorable gentleman to
deceit. For he knew that he had verified
his boast, and saved himself—by a lie.

That haunted him as he stood on the
grim chamber of Wrottel Clockhouse, and
siuw the last of his old triend, the country

m rate.
Ile despatched no one to the d ad rob-
ber—time enough for that when he return-

edin the morning.
Then he took oflicers of justice with him,

‘th he seemed plunged, |
i de by side, a little way!
behind his horse, At last they reached the |
spot where the deadly deed had taken}
place. ‘To their astonishment, a litile }
group of people had gathered about, and}
ts they drew near, they heard w sound ot |
lamentation, and the squire saw his cwn!
livery servants, one of them holding the |
bridie of a rideriess horse. They turned,
startled, white faces to him, as he rode up,
and were silent,
“Whatis the matter?” he demanded,
imperiously.
Oh, he canna be dead! the bonnie lad-
die!” sobbed an old Scotch groom,
‘Some one has shot Mr. Ilugh.” said
two or three at once,
** It must have b-en a duel,” said some
one, ‘for the young master has his own
pistol with him,”
‘The squire pushed his horse through the

crowd. On the blood-stained heather lay |
tiis antagonist of the night before—his

young grandson—the back of his head
completely shattered, and stains of blood |
upon his tair, boyish face, The steward |
knelt by the corpse, disengaging the pistol
trom the stil¥ grasp of the dead. ile look |
ed at it with wondering, bewildered eyes,
and suid:

It has never been loaded !"
Then the old squire understood it all—
he understood that his boasttul, provoking |
words had provoked Hugh to put his cou- |
rage to the test, in the hope of convincing
him there was no trial of bravery between
an honest man and a robber, And the
squire understood also that had the untoad-
ed pistol been what it seemed, he the hon-
orable Coran of Coran, had only
by alie!
“JT did it!” hes

scaped

uid gloomily; and the |
two defenti: ers of justice came and
stood at either side of Latymer Coran, and
his own servants fell back in horror and
dismay. Alas! for the twice bereaved
woman who sat waiting and weeping, and
as yet hoping, in the proud old caustic tow: |
ers!

Latymer Coran was spared the ignominy |
ofa trial—he did not even live to hear that |
the coroner's jury returned a yerdict of
“misadventure.” The stout old heart was |

broken, Hugh's funeral lelayed bat
asingle day, Uhat his gr: her and he, |

*+the last of the Corans,” might be buried |
together, Their names, the murderer and |
murdered, were written on one tablet. |
Not 1 word was said of the ancient and |
honorable lineage, nor of the tragedy in,
which both lives closed—only their names |
and theirages, the old man and the boy, |
and the text— r |

« Vathers provoke not your children to
anger.”

NEVER TELL A LIE,

How simply and beautifully has Abd-el
Kader, of Ghilon, impressed us with the
love of truth, in a story of his childhood !
After stating the vision, which made him
entreat of his mother to go to Bagdad,
and devote himself to God, he thus pro-
ceeds:

Linformed her of what I had seen,
and she wept. Then, taking out eighty
dinars, she told me, as I had a brother,
half of that was all my inheritance; she

never to tell a lie, and afterwards bade
me farewell exclaiming, ** Go, my son;
I consign you to God; we shall not meet
again until the day of judgment.”

I went on well till Leame near Ham-
andai, when our Kafilnh was plundered
by sixty horeemen., One fellow asked
me what I had got.

‘Forty dinars,” said I,
Wunder my garments.”

He
a

fand constitutional m

made me swear, when she gave it to me, |

“the days of establishments are number
ed,” and that the question to be consider-
ed by orthodox Christians is, how disestabs
lishment is to be car-ied out. In this let-
ter, asin the communication to the Confer-
