MISCELLANY.

THE SMUGGLER'S DAUGHTER.

Those that have not visited the easterncoast of Island M have missed sesome of the grandest coast scenery inthe British Isles.

Viewed from the sea the cliffs riseost perpendicularly to the height of

300 feet; formirjg a mighty bulwarkagainst which the waves of the Atlantihave rolled for ages. At intervals thiscoast is indented with Bmall bays whichafford excellent anchorage and safety to

all trading vessels and fishing boats,the faoe of the cliffd forming these

bays are frequently found caves whichrun horizontally into the rooks for manyrods. These oaves have been the sceneat many midnight revels; and thesefestio shores have heard other souithan the sighing winds, the murmuringif the waters and the cries of the •

sea birds. At no very distant periodthia section was inhabited by a classmen who looked upon the governmicutter as they would a pirate ship; andviewed the revenue laws as an instmment of tyranny. Their profession bythe fraternity was called Free Trade, bythe outside world smuggling.'

Many are the traditionary stories ofdaring deeds and hair-breadth esoapes ofthe smugglers, as told by their posterity.The following is one of them :

It was a beautiful summer morningwhen Capt. Jones set sail from Island

— for a port in Holland. The cwere jolly but the Captain was sad asusual after bidding adieu to his beauti-ful daughter whom he had left behind incare of an ancient house beeper. Megwaa a very attractive girl of seventeensummers, and was muoh beloved by allrhoknew her. She lost her motherrhen very young, but this loss was par-

tially recompensed for by the extra at-tention and devoted love of her father.She was born and brought up by the"margin of the ocean," and there wasnot a cave or any other natural curiosi-ty within miles with which she was notjacquainted.

The Penguin, for that was the name ofie smuggler's sloop, had a prosperous

voyage, and landed safe in Holland.Having got on board her cargo of tobao-

silks and other contraband goods,merry crew of the Penguin weighed

anchor and set sail for their beloved islefeeling jubilant as only sailors can feel,who have a fair wind, a flowing sea andare homeward bound.

We will now leave the craft td pursue»course across the German Ocean,

and return to the home of Oapt. Jones,•here Meg sat by the window reading

one of Cooper's sea novels. Her beauti-ful face now wore an anxious expression;she turned to her attendant remarking,that she expected her father in port to-tight but foreboded evil as the Cumber-laud, a revenue cutter, passed down theongh twelve hours previous. This dayinng heavily on Meg; she would walk to

the top of the dizzy cliff and gaze sea-ward, and disappointed return to the' t>uee.

The shades of*night were beginning tofall, when Meg took down her father'stelescope and started for the highestpoint of land in the vicinity, to take thelast look for her father before day de-parted. Having found a rest for the tel-escope she swept the horizon with a[lance, and in ecatacy cried out ' 'the

Penguin oomes, the Penguin comes."But this pleasure was of short duration[or in the .offing appeared the Cumber-land in full sail giving chase to theinvnggler. On, and on they came like

the wind, the Penguin skimming "o'erthe waters of the dark blue sea" like her

i sake, but it was evident if theohase were continued for an hour itwould result in a capture.

Headland after headland was doubledand still the ohase continued. The pray-ers of the smugglers that night wouldinvelope them in her sable garment re-maioed unanswered, and nothing wasleft, for them but to sail for the oove andaccomplish by stratagem what they didnot wish to attempt by force. Almostsimultaneously the pursued and pursuersentered the bay, the orew of the smug-gler ran their craft along side of a pro-jecting rock, leaped on shore and havingsecured the Penguin, immediately dis-appeared in one of the caverns.

"Here's the pony, sheriff."One of the men led the pack pony,

which during the entire fight had beenquietly grazing at a little distance off,up to the group. With a quick jerk hedragged off the tattered blanket whichcovered the pack.

There were a few camp utensils, someprovisions, and a bulging sort of doublebag thrown over the fronts of the pan-nier. With an effort he pulled this off,but its weight tore it from his hands, andit fell with a metalio crash. As it struckthe earth its seams burst. The queer-shaped sack was simply an old pair ofpants with the legs tied up, and its con-tents rolled,- jingling and sparkling, overthe short grass, a cascade of mintedgold.

Before the ring of the precious metalid died away, the group about the dead.an and the wounded boy parted withi exolamation of startled surprise. The

I was still scrutinizing the somewhatsingular apparition with more than ordinary curiosity, when the sheriff turnetsuddenly on me.

"Wear's yer pony, Tom?" he asked."In the shed !""With a loose girth—yes.""The sogers is in the Hundred Horn

gulch," he went on, speaking rapidly."Slide forrerd and bring 'em up. Maythe big wolf of Devil's Ban devour meif them aint two of our men."

I knew the sheriff too well to hesitateor question further. As I girted mypony in the shed, a shadow floatedoross the door way and gone. Wh<rode out the two strangers were oanter-ing off to the southward, pointing forthe Eepublioan river, and as I gave mypony rein and galloped in the oppositedireotion, I saw the sheriff mounting hisbig gray mare, which had been tied tothe corner-post of the store.

The sheriff and a party of soldiers fromFort Hayes were on the watoh for train-robbers, who had stopped the western-bound train at Big Springs eight daysbefc ire supposed to bestriking for the Texan border with theirrich spoil. The soldiers, as the sheriffhad said, were posted in a ravine knownas Hundred Horn Gulch, a few milesfrom the station, where the mail train

i the North Platte crossed the "road track.

The sun was just dipping when I roder> to the station ahead of my troopers.

The sherifl; who was studying the writtendescription of the marauders by the-rendering light, put himself at our headrithout a word, and we trailed off, a long

line of creaking, jingling, hoof-beating-'amor through the windy silence and

loom of the darkening prairie.The ride was a long one, for our quarry

had an hour's start of us, and the moonTose a globe of coppery fire'and found usstill clanking on. I had joined thesheriff and the leader of the soldiers.We were a silent trio until I ventured :

"Are you certain, sheriff, of our men ?""Sure as the isoon," said the old man,

tersely, drinking in the sweet air of the"lblime light with a sigh which seemed

i say, "Let me alone. I know whatm about and won't be questioned."Silence again. The brisk breeze was

But this is a diversion.I supposed that when we hed iahood
