Concealed in a wood of short oak and ash and hazel trees, they took council together, and agreed that they would forthwith constrnet what was called a bending ladder, namely, one that could be taken to picces and put up again. _ With this they thonght they could at night climb the castle wall, get to the root, and, breaking a hole there, surprise the garrison. Un the third evening after their ariival Murâ€" doch wanted to venture near the castle to get news, although one of the Irish strongly objected, saying he would be discovered, and they would all be lost. The next day he presented the young man with a handsome dress and kept him as a companion tiill the spring of the year. _ Then he gathered his men, told them who Murdoch was, and asked if any would volunteer to help him ; and told them that Murdoch authorized him to say that, in case of success, they should have land on Loch Buie, and that they and their descendents should be tenants there as long as the young man or his posterity possessed the estate. _ Many at once volunteerd. _ The Earl gave them all arms, and clothes, and plenty of food. and a fine boat, azrd the advcntux;crs embarked in high spirits. They reached Mull at a place called Tontire, in the nether part of Glen Levidale, aud they. clitmubed up to the top of the moor called the Shelly ‘That‘s no business of yours,‘ she anâ€" swered; ‘many an unlacky word comes eut of a woman‘s mouth when she meets with an accident.‘ But he pressed her with questions, and at last, thinking she could do no barm in having a little talk, said : ‘Well, I will tell you. A fosterâ€"son of mine is always in my mind, although ‘No fear,‘ he answered, ‘I will disâ€" guise myselt in beggar‘s clothes," and he descended cautiously to where the cowâ€"fold was, where he found the dairy woman milking. He crept behind the girl, and then leaped and seized one ctf the cow‘s horns, which made ghe cow start back and overthow the woman, who, as she fell, excelaimed ; ‘God be with you, Murdoch !‘ She rose, end sceeing a begger, secoldâ€" ed at the top of her voice, Murdoch waiting until she had done, and then be said quietlyv, ‘What did you call out when you fell ? ‘I shall let you select eighteen men, and it they will go with you, you shall take them,‘ cried the Earl, full of adâ€" miration at the youth‘s courage. So Murdoch told all he knew, and said that were he to get as followers only eighteen of the men who had played shinty that day he would be willing to venture to Mull and try to recover with them the Castle of Loch Buie. Murdoch answered : ‘It is of little consequence who I am or whence I have come. I am only a poor fugitive from Mull, who has obtained sustenâ€" ance and protection from you, and I am deeply gratefu‘ to you for it.‘ ‘But of what people are you ? ‘I am a MacLaine. I am a son to MacLaine of Loch Buie. Duart took possession of my inheritance, perseâ€" cuting me and seeking my life, and I fled, and to you I owe my safety since that time.‘ When the fivre years had passed he was eighteen years of age. _ Then came a New Year‘s Day, and there was a great scattering made by the Earl for a shinty (hocky) mateh. Murâ€" doch was chosen captain of one side in the game, and the son of the Earl was the leader of the other side. There was no shinty player there so good as Murdech, for he would trip up all who came in his way, and take the ball from any cne who sought to pass him. The Earl, who was watching the game, admired much his prowess, and when all was over he called Murâ€" doch to him and said, very kindly. ‘You hayve now been a long time about my place, and toâ€"day I have particn larly noticed your smartness in the‘ game, and now I wish to know your! name and whence you came.‘ | AN OLD TALE OF THEISLE CF MULL, BY THE MARQUIS OF LORNE.

You cannot get in by force,‘ she said ; ‘there is a strong oaken door on the outside of the entrance, and just within is a strong iron door, and a great wooden bar so heavy that it takes two men to draw its end out of the wall on the one side and to put the other end of it into the opposite wall‘s hole. No man can enter by mere strength.‘ ‘T‘ry said Murdoch, ‘to think of some way we can surprise the guard.‘ She pondered long, and then said : ‘It seems to me that the best way to make an entrance is for you and your men to gome down to the castle by‘ night, and to put the cows and the Murdoch showed the mark, and she pushed the milking pail away, and, leaping to him, put both arms round his neck and kissed hbim, crying, ‘Oh you are Murdoch! you are Murdoch!‘ he was obliged to flee the country long | ago, and it has become a habit with | me, when I am startled, to say, ‘‘God | be with you Murdoch," and I am someâ€"| times quite ashamed of myself, but the ’ people of the house take no notice. | PRICEVILLE. & 0 4 ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORoNTO y 2 Thomass Quinn bas rented the Sinclair lf::.rm for a term of years.

Everybody is busy making maple sugu now till we are fairly sticky. Although it seems impossible to say anything fresh on temperance, there is cne point upon which we can all agree and that is, that when Satan taught men to take the good fruits and grains of the earth and by decomposition, turn them into alcholic drinks, he introduced a curse into the world which has desâ€" troyed more of God‘s creatures, and hindered the work of the Kingdom to a greater extent, than any other scheme emanating from his fertile brain. â€" The vast hosts of men and women who have sunk into drunkard‘s grayves do not make up the number of those destroyed by alcohol ; we must;take into considerâ€" ation the millions of children. who, beâ€" cause their fathers, grandfathers, and greatgrandfathers, drank more or less deeply, have been born into the world physically and mentally, poorly equipâ€" for the battles of life, Most of these children fall viciims to the first serious disease whichfseizes them, and we say on the death notice "Died of fever, gripâ€" diphtheria," but we should â€" rather write in letters of fire, "Another inâ€" nocent victim of the drink habit."
