GOOD FOR. EVIL.

Obadiah Lawson and Walt Dood were neighbours; that is, they lived within a liiilf mile of each other, and no person lived between their respective forms, which would linve joined, had not it little strip of pr:tlI’l« liind extended itself sulliciently to keep them sepa- riited. Dood was the oldest settler. iind from his youth up had en- tertuineda singular hatred against Quakers; therefore, when he was iiiforiued that Lawson, ti regular disciple of that class of peo- ple, had purcliased the next farm to his, he declared he would make him glad to titove away agiiin. Accordingly, a system of petty iinnoyiince were comiiieiiced by him. and every time one of Law- son's hogs chanced to stray upon Dood‘s place. he was beset by men and dogs. and most savagely abused. Things rogressed thus for neiirly ii year. and the Quaker. ii Illflll of decide peace princi- ples, appear:-d in no way to resent the injuries he had received at the hands of his spiteful iieiglibottr. Ilut iiintters were drawing to a crisis; for I)ood iiiore enraged than ever at the quiet Obadiah, mnde oath that he would do something before long to wake up the spunk of Lawson. Chntice favoured his design. The Quaker had it ltigli-blooded filly, which he had been very careful in raising. and which was just four ears old. Lawson took great pride in this ani- trial, and had refuse a large sum of inotiey for her.

One evening, it little after sundown. as \Vatt Dood was passing around his corii-lit.-l.l. he discovered the filly feeding in the little strip of prairie hind that separated the two fziriiis, and he conceived the design of throwing ofl'two or three rails of his fence, that the linrse might get into his corn duritig the night. Ile did so. and the next iiioriiiiig. bright and early, he shouldered his rifle atid left the house. Not long after his absence, it hired tnan, wltotn he lind recently employed, heard the echo of his gun, and in it few minutes, Dood considerably excited and out of breath, came hurry- itig to the house, where he stated, that he lisid shot and wounded it ppck; that the deer attacked him, and he hardly escaped with his

I c.

This stor was credited by ail but the newly eiitploy_ed hand. who had taken it dislike to \V:ilt, and front his tn.-iniier suspected that something was wrong. IIe, lltcrefure, slipped quietly away frotn the house, and going through the field in the direction of the shot. he suddenly ciiiim upon Lawson's fill , stretched upon the earth, with it bu let hole through the head. roiii which the warm blood was still oozing.

'I‘lie aiiiiiiiil was warm and could not have been killed an hour. Ho hastened back to the house of Hood, who met liiiii in the yard, and deniunded, soiiieivlint roughly, where he had been?

‘ I've been to see if your bullet Illlltlt: sure work of Mr. Lawson‘: filly,‘ was the instant reply.

Watt poled for it iiioiiieiit, but collecting himself, he fiercely shouted—-

‘ Do you dare any I killed her.’

' How do you know she is dead .3’ replied the man.

Dood hit his lip, hesitated a nioiiient, and then turning, walked into the house.

A couple ofdays passed by and the morning of the third one had lpiroken, as the hired man met friend Lawson, riding in search of his

lly.

A few words of explanation ensued. when with a heavy heart, the Quaker turned his horse atid rode home, where he informed the people of the fate of his filly. No threat or recriiiiination eecapcd him; he did not even go to law to recover damages. but ciiliiily waited hie plan and hour of revenge. It came at last.

Wat Dood had a Durham heifer, for which he had paid it heavy price. and upon which be counted to make great gains.

One morning. just as Obadiah was sitting down, his eldest son came in with the information, that neighbour Dood’s heifer had broken down the fence, entered the aid, and after eating most of the cabbnges. had trampled the we l-iiiiide beds. and the vege- tiihles they contained, out of all shape—a mischief impossible to re iir.

l‘“And what did thee do with her, Jacob? 3‘ quietly asked Oba- diiah.

‘ I put her in the farm yard.’

' Did thee beat her ?'

‘ I never struck her a blow.’

' Right, Jxicob—riglit, sit down to thy breakfast. and when done eating, I will attend to the heifer.‘

Shortly nfterhe had finished his report, Lawson mount ’ a horse and rode over to Dood‘s who was sitting under the porch in front of his house, and who, as he beheld the Quaker dismount, supposed he wits coming to deiiiaiid pay for his tilly, alid secretly swore he would have to go to law for it, if he did.

‘ Good morning, neighbour Dood ; how is thy family 3‘ ex Iaiin- ed Obadiah, as be mounted the steps, and seated himself in n clitiir.

‘ All well, I believe.‘ was the criisty repl .

‘ I have It small atliiir to settle with you this morning, and I came rather early.‘

‘ So I supposed,’ growled \Vntt.

‘ 'I‘his iiiorniiig my son found thy Durham heifer in my garden, where she has destroyed it good deal."

‘ And what did he do with her ?’ demanded Dood, his brow dark- ening.

‘ Vhat would thee have done with her, bad she been my heifer in thy garden ?’ asked Obadiah.

' I'd it short her,’ rutorted \Viitt, tnndl ,’ ‘ as I suppose you have done; but we are only even now. Ilei or for filly is only lit for lltl." '

‘ Nei libour Dood. thou knovvest me not. if thou thinkest I would harm aiiair of thy heifer’s back. She is in my farm-yard. and not even a blow has been struck her, where thee can get her at any time. I know thee shot my filly. but the evil one prompted thee to do it, and I lay no evil in my heiirt against my neighbours. I came to tell tliee where tliy heifer iii, ntid now I'll go liotiie.’

Obadiah rose from his chiii:, and was about to descend the stops, ivlieii he was stopped by \Vatt, who hastily asked,-—

‘ What was your filly worth ?‘

‘A hundred dollars was what I asked for her,’ replied Oba- diiili. -‘

' VViiit it moment,’ and Dood rushed into the house, from whence he soon returned. lioldiiig some gold in his liiind. ‘ I|ere's the price ofyour filly, and hurealler, let there be u plcnsantness be- tween us.’

‘ Willingly, heartily.‘ answered Lawson. grasping the proffered

and of the other, let there be peace between us.‘

Obadiah mounted his horse and rode home with is lighter heart and from that day to this, Dood has been its good a neighbour as one could wish to have, being completely reformed by the return- ing goodfor evi'I.—Ci'nei'miati CI/Iumbfan.

THE LOST HUSBAND.

A ROMANCE OI‘ XANCHIITER.

A writer in Dickens‘ "Household Words," voucher for the truth of the following :

The owner of the estate, Garrutt-hall), some time in the first hnlfofthe last century, married young, he and his wife had seve- rtil children. lived together in a q|l‘eIIIIlIQ of happiness for many years. At last, business of some kind took the bus rind up to l.oii- don; a week's journey in those days. He wrote and announced his arrival; I do not think he ever wrote again. He seemed to be swallowed up in the abyss of the metropolis, for no friend _(and the lady had many and werful friends). could ever ascertain for her what had become olphirn; the prevalent idea was, that he had been attacked by seine of the street robbers who prowled about ‘In those days, that he had resisted and hiid beeamurdered. His wife

These deeds Mr. B . (the family lawyer), stated. had been

iven up by him into the missing°gentlema_n's keeping just before

i e last mysterious journey to ndon, wiili which think they were in some way coucerited. It was possible that they were girl in existence; some one in London might have them in possession. and be still unconscious of their importance. At any rulh _M'~ 8-—:‘s advice to his client was, that he should put an advertise- inset in the London papers, wsrdedso skillfully that any who might

CllARLOTTETOWN,PRlNCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, OCTOBERI4,

hold the important documents should ’ ‘ ad to what it referred and no one else. This was accordingly done; and although repeat- ed at intervals for some time, it met with no success. But at lii_st a mysterious answer was sent to the effect. that the deeds were in existence and should be given up, but only to the heir himself. -—-The young man in consequence went to London, and‘ ad- journed, according to direction. to an old house in Ilatbicaii, where he was told by it man, apparently waiting. him. that he must submit to be blindfolded, and must follow is guidance. He was taken through several long passages before he left the house; at the terininiition of one of these, he was put into a chair and carried about for an hour and more; he always report- ed that there were many turnings, and that be imagined he was set down finally not very far from his starting point. When his eyes were uiibaindiiged, he was in a decent sitting room, with tokens of family occupation lying about. A middle aged gentleman entered. and told him, that until it certain time had elapsed, (which should be indicated to him in ii peculia. way. but of which the length was not then named), he must swear to secrecy, as to the means by which he obtained possession of the deeds. This oath was taken ; and their the gentleman, not without emotion. acknowhadged him- self to be the missing father of the heir. It seems that he had fallen in love with a damsel. a friend of the person with whom be lodged. To this young woman he had represented himself es un- married; she listened willingly to his wooing, and her father, who was It shopkeeper in the city, was not averse to the match. as the Lancasliircs uire had a goodly presence. and man similar qualities, which lie shopkeeper thought iiiigh. be ucceptab is to his customers. The bargain was struck; the descendant of e kiiightly i_-ace married the only daughter of the shopkeeper, iind became a junior partner in the business. He told his son that he had never repeated the step he bud taken; that this lowly-born wife was sweet, docile and affectionate; that his family’ by her was large. and he and they were thriving and happy. e inquired after his first (or rather. I should say, his trite) wife, with friendly affection; approved of what she had done with regard to his estate. and the education of his children; but said he considered lie was dead to her, as she was to him. When he really died, he promised that it particular message. the nature of which be specified, should be sent to his son at Garrntt; until then, they would not hear more of each other; for it was no are attempting to trace him under his incognito, even iftlie oath did not render such an attempt forbidden. I dare say. the youth had no great desire to trace out his father, who had been one in nniiie only. He returned to Lancushire, took possession of the property at Manchester. and many years elapsed before he received the mysterious iiiliiiiation of his father's real death. After that he named the particulars connected with the re- covery of the title deed to Mr. S— , and one or two intimate friends. When the family became extinct. or removed from Gur- rntt, it became no longer any very closely kept secret, and I was told the tale ofthe disappearance by Miss S——, the aged dangli- ter of the family agent.

TIIE FORBIDDEN PARADISE.

\Vhen the islands of the Pacific Ocean were first discovered by Europeans, some of the natives were found very timid and friendly, while others were fierce, treacherous and warlike. For many years after their discovery, these islands were visited only by those who were on voyages of discovery, or who were in the pursuit of gain. The niit_ives were treated with great inhumanity: and drunken seamen, rioting their villages, and trampling u it all the laws of right-doing. soon introduced all the vices o civilized life to be added to those of the savage state. The natives generally became exaspeutsd, and were ever watching for opportunities to cut off ‘the ships and massacre the seamen. A Nantucket whale-ship was at one time wrecked upon one of the I"ee-jee Islands. The crew escaped in their bonus to the shore, and, after a long and bloody battle, all the sailors were slain exce t two little boys, whose lives were spared. One after the lapse 0 many years escaped oit board it wliale-ship which stopped at the Island. The other has never been heard fmni. Such was the condition of these islands when the English niissioniirics, taking their lives in their hands, went smon them to Clirisliaiiizo the inhabitants. The missionaries were ridi- culed. opposed, and traduced by thousands at hotiie, and they endured every species of privation and hardships from the habits- tions ofcruelt . in the midst of which they took up their abode. God smiled, owever, u it their exertions, and soon these wild men and women turned rum their idols and their sins. and culti- vnteil the arts of peace. A few years after the missionaries had comtiienced their labours an Ainericitn whale-ship crime in si ht of an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean. They had been or six months cruising in search of their gigantic game without linving seen any land. Scurv , that terrible scourge of seamen, had seiz- ed one after another o the crew, till there were not enough left in health to navigate the vessel in safety. Scurvy is a disease caused b livingii long time upon salted irovisions, without any vegeta- b es; and the sufferers are almost immediately restored to health when they can breathe the fresh air of the land and eat freely of fruits and herbs. Ilero was this ship, several thousand miles from the South American const. 'I'he crew were eiiiiiciated and dying. Before them rose, in all the beuutyi of tropical luxuriance. those islands of the ocean, which tip cared to the mariner, weary with gazing for months upon the widb waste ofwaters, like the Garden ol' I-lden. But they dared not approach these shores. A foe, nioro treacherous and dreadful than disease, they a prehended there. The club ofthe savage, and the deiiioriiiical reve s of the cannibuls dancing and shouting around their roasting victims, were more to be dreaded than death by slow and lingering approaches in the ship. They dared not draw near the shore, for they were too feeble to prevent the natives, should they cotne out in large numbers in their canoes, from climbing up the sides and taking possession of the ship. But with their glass they could distinctly see the clear streams of water foaming down their channels in the inouiitiiins. Meadows faded awe in the distance, enclianting the eye with their shady roves on their rich verdurc. 'I‘he cocoa-nut tree rear- ed its grace ul head upon the beach, laden with its recious and its life giving treasures; and forests rich with tropical llrjuits. juicy and luscious. were every where spread around. These etnaciiited and dying men crawled from their berths, and gazed with wistful eyes upon this tantalizing acetic. Slowly the were borne along by a gentle breeze. and forest crowned heed ands. and luxuriant valleys and roves. bendin beneath the burden of fruit, gliiled by, like the cianges ofii ka eidoi-co e. and still no canoe pushed out from the shore, and the huts of t e natives were to be seen. 'I‘hey began to cherish the he that the isliiiid ui' ht be uiiinliabit- cd. and cautiously a proach it. Ilut ere long tiey saw canoes upon the beach, an smoke here and there ascending from the cocoa-nut groves; and still to their ustonishnien , no natives made their appearance. rind no sound of human voices reached them from the shore. As they rounded a pr monatory. which opened before them a quiet and lovely hey. it thickly clustered village of the na- tives burst upon their view. and in the centre of it was reared a Christian church. A simultaneous about of joy rang through the ship. as the cry passed from stem to stern, " he missionaries are here !" It was the Sabbath. and the natives had learned the Di- vine command, “ Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy." And the temptiition ofa ship entering the boy did not lure a single canoe to leave the shore. The crew were almost crazed with joy at the sudden chu ,, in their prospects. 'I'hey speedily cast an- chor, furled their sails, and entering the ship's boata, went on shore. As I on as the natives were informed of their sick and suffering condition. they received them with the utmost hospitality, and supplied them with all the fresh fruits and vegetables they could need. The next day the natives aided the emaciated crew Ill taking a sail from the ship and spreading a large tent upon the green grass on the bank of it niountsio stream. ad here the crew reposed in inerpressible luxury. They bathed their limbs in the pure water, and qualfed it in itii coolness and its frssliness, like Elysian nectar. They rolled with childish glce upon the green grass. Cocoa-nuts, and bananas, and lemons and vs gee, and other luscious fruits of the tropics were brought to them iii great abundance b the friend- ly natives. In a few ds s. the disease that had broug t so many oftheintothev eofthe vs, nto" .I‘he " aries, fiom their ittle stoc of ' wants, and treated them with fraternal kindness. In the course of two or three weeks. all were restored to health andlvigear. They
