A Masonic Legend.
Many yearsago, in the parish ef Car-
ebain, ia Galleway, a rude and seques- | there were only three!
tered district, res Masons, the minister, a tailor and amason. The masen, desirous to iatroduce bis sea te the same mys- tery, caused a lodge te bo called fer the purpese at a lonely cottage, where the ceremonies were procooding when a keeck was heard at the deer. The mason, whese name was Dun; went te see whe it was,and found an old woman, whe addressed him as follews:
‘The masons are met the nich
* Yes.”
“ Well, ve ken my web was stolen last week ?"’
“ Yea, Janet, but what that with the mason meeting ?”
“ Ou,ye ken, ye'll be raisin’ the de’il, and I wad just like if ye wad ask him, sinee he’s there at any rate, who stole the web.”’
Oh, ay, Janet; just you gang awa’ then, and we'll eco what we car do.”
Mr.Dun thea returved to the interior ef the cettage, and mentiened to the minister what had passed between him and the old The clergyman rebuked him severely for concediag te the euperstit'ous notiens ef the aged orone, and said he feared that it weuld affrent them’a.”
“Nae fear o’ that,’’ answered the mason, “ just leave it all te me.”
Next day, when Janet ealled upen Mr. Dan, he told her that the ‘ deil” had net exactiy cemmunicated the name of the thief, but he had mentioned that if the goods were net returned be- fere Thursday next, the house of the guilty persen weuld fall upeo him in the night time, and the whele family weuld bekilled. This, he said, was aj great secret, and he strictly forbade her communicating it te mere than one person.
Away weet Janet quite satisfied ; al-| though it might have been expected to ecour to her that the predietion ef pun- ishment toa thief was not exactly a characteristic piece of conduet ea the yat of Old Nick. The secret was speedily imparted to her next noer neigh- bor with *many injunctions as to the prepriety ef letting it gone further. As & matter ef course it was known te the whele parish before night.
On the third merning thereafter, Janet’s wob was feund lying at her deor, with a part which had been cut off at- tached to the main bedy of it with pins.

Triumphant Hospitality.
Returaing frem one of eur exeursions I was evertaken by the night, and fouad my path obstructed by a deep inlet from the river, which being choked with loge and brush, could net be crossed by swimming. Observing a house on the eppesite side I ealled for assistance. A half-naked, ill-loeking fel)owoame dewn, and after dragging a eaneo areuad frem the river with some trouble ferried me over, and [ follewed him te his habita- tion, near to which our boat was moor- edfer the night. His eabin was of the meanest kind, consistieag of a single apartment eenstructed of legs, which contained a family of seven or eight souls, and syerything seomed to desigs nate him as a new and thrifty settler. After drinking a bow! of milk, which I readily called for by way ef exouse by payisg him a little mere for his trouble, { asked to know his charge for ferrying me over the water, to which he geod humeredly raplied :
“Never take money fer helping a traveller on his way.”
“ Then let me pay you for your milk.”
“T never sell milk.”
“ But,” said [, urgiag him, “ I would rather pay you; [ have money enough.”
“Well,” said he, “I have milk enough; so we're even. I have as gooda right te give you milk as you have te give me money .”—Judge Hall.
