owe me little thanks for that service.”

“That is as you take it,” replied Bunce; ‘‘for my part I see no harm in levying contri- butions on the public vither one way or t'uther. But I wish you would forget that name of Bunee, and call me Altamont, as I have often desired you to, do. I hope a

stepped on the boards but what I was Alta- mont at the least:”

“ Well, then, Jack Altamont,” Cleveland, ‘‘ since Altamont is the word ** Yes, but, Captain, Jack is not-the word, though Altamont be so. Jack Altamont— why, ‘tis a velvet coat with paper lace—Let it be Frederick, Captain ; Frederick Alta- mont is all ofa piece.”

‘* Fredetick be it, then, with all my heart,”’ said Cleveland ; ‘‘ and pray tell me, which of your names will sound best at the head of the Last Speech, Confession, and Dying words of John Bance, alias Frederick Altamont, who was this morning hanged at Exucution-dock, for the crime of Piracy upon the High Seas?”

*§ Faith, | cannot answer that question, without another can of grog, Captain; so if you will go down with me to Bet Haldane’s on the quay, I will bestow some thought on the matter, with the help of a right pipe of Trinidado. We will have the gallon bowl filled with the best stuff you ever tasted, and I know some smart wenches who will help us fo drain it. But you shake your head— you're not i’ the vein?—W ell, then, I will stay with you; for by his hand, Clem, you shift me not off. Only I will ferret you out of this burrow of old stones, and carry you into sunshine and fairness.--Where shall we go?”

‘* Where “you will,” said Cleveland, ‘so that you keep out of the way of our own rascals, and all others.

‘* Why, then,” replied Bunce, “‘ you and I will go up te the Hill of Whitford, which overlooks the town, and walk together as gravely and honestly as a pair of well- employed attorneys.”

Asthey proceeded to leave the ruinous castle, Bunce, turning back to look at it, thus addressed his companion :

‘* Hark ye, Captain, dost thou know who last inhabited this old cockloft?”

“An Earl of the Orkneys, they say,” replied Cleveland.

‘** And are you advised what death he died of?” said Bunce; “for I heard that it was of a tight neck-collar—-a hempen fever, or the like.”

**The people here do say,” replied Cleve-

land, “that his lordship, some hundred years ago, had the mishap to become acquainted with the nature of a loop and a leap in the air,” ‘“Why, la ye there now!” said Bunce ; *‘there was some credit in being hanged in those days, and in such worshipful company. And what might his lordship have done to de- serve such promotion ?”

‘*Plundered the liege subjects, they say,” replied Cleveland ; ‘‘slain and wounded them, fired upon His Majesty’s flag, and so forth.”

‘* Near akin to a gentleman rover, then,” said Bunce, making a theatrical bow towards the old building; ‘‘and, therefore, my most potent, grave, and reverend Signior Earl, I crave leave to call you my loving cousin, and bid you most heartily adieu. I leave you in the good company of rats and mice, and so forth, and I carry with mean honest geutle- man, who, having of late had no more heart than a mouse, isnow desirous torun away from his profession and friends like a rat, and would therefore be a most fitting denizen of your KarJship’s palace.”

‘*‘] would advise you not to speak so loud, my ood friend Frederick Altamont, or John Bunce,” said Cleveland ; *‘ when you were on the stage, you might safely rant as loud as vou listed; but, in your present profession, of which you are so found, every man speaks under correction of the yard-arm, and a run- ning noose.” ;
