MISCELLANY.
THK WRECKER.
A CORNISH LEGEND.
ra
towards ine cose ot the sixteentn cen
tiiiya horrid custom prevailed onthcco;is!
of Cornwall, of Iurinj vessels to iheir Jes
lruciion in stormy weather, by fastening1 a
lantern to a horse's head, and leading it
nbolU on the cliffs, in order that the bewil
Uered mariner, mistaking it for .he liht of
a vessel, might be induced to shape his
"course towards it. This atrocious expedient
C. , r I rait
was oiieu successiuL i tie devoted crew
dreamed not of their danger until warned
ot it, too late, by the foaming breakers that
burst upon them from the shore : and the
vessels speedly became the prey of a set of
rumiess barbarians, who, to secu:e thetnsel
yes impunity in their plunder, often murder
ed those who escaped drowning, and then
called their booty a "(Jod send."
In a small hovel, on the craggy shore of
a deep and dangerous bay on the coast of
Cornwall, dwelt one of those wretches, an
old hardened desperado, who united in
himself the fisherman, the smuggler, and
the wrecker, but the last was his favorite
occupation ; and such was the confidence
of his companions in his experience in this
capacity, tnat ne was usually appointed
ineir leader, ana rarely faded in his office
-His wife, too, encouraged him. and not un
.frequently aided him in his iniquitous ex
ploits. Diserusteu with the wickedness of
his parents, their only son left his home in
early life, and sought to obtain an honor
able subsistence as the mate of a West
India trader.
It was at a period when a long and pro-
ntiess summer and autumn had nearly
passed away, tnat lerloggan; like the vul
ture, ever watchful for his prey, was more
than usually observant of the sins of the
beavens ; nor was any one mon- capable
man nimseti or discovering the most dis
tant indications of a tempest. Nature had
tor several months worn a placid and mosi
cuuuu raging aspect. i ne soil and azure
sky seemed to rest upon the transparent
i . i i i
ca, aim ine siowiy-expandins; waves
swept with, .slow inurmurina alon"- the
shining sand of the deep bay with a wild
and monotonous plashing, that seemed to
strike like the voice of a prophecy upon
Jhe ear. Not more hateful were the glori
ous beams of the orb of day to the fallen
Lucifer, as described by our great poet,
than was the quiescent state of nature to the
Jark mind of Terloggan. In his impatien
ce he cursed the protraced season of trati
quility, and hailed ihr npproaceing- perio.i
of storms as more congenial not only t
the " gloomy temper of his soul." but lo his
interests. At length he saw with a smil
of savage satisfaction, the sun sink in an
jgry.red beneath the dim and cloudy hori
zon ; heard with secret exultation the hoi
low murmuring of the winds ; and behel i
the blackening waves rising iniofury. and
lashing the lJiy rocks w.th their ascend
ing spray As the night advanced in
chaotic darkness, the horrors of the lem
pest increased ; and the loud and long
blasts of the contending elements rung, oui
upon the ear like the death-knell of a do
pnrted soul.
'Now's thy time," ejjic.ikted the old
ha":, his wife, "go thy way out upon the
cliff's ; there's death in the wind." Ter
loggan speedily equipped himself, and as
cended the steep promontory at the entran
ce of the bay. The usual expedient was
resorted to, and he soon observed a light ai
sea as if in answer to his signal. His prey
seemed already in his grasp. The liirhi
evidently approached nearer ; and before
an hour had elapsed, the white, close reefel
sails of the vessel could be dimly discover
ed through the darkness, and the appling
cry of the seamen at the discovery of their
danger distinctly heard,- Signal-guns of
distress were immediately fired, and the
loud comrnauds, all hands on deck and about
ship, were vociferated in wild despair
Every exertion was made to wear the ves
sel from the shore ; but the redeeming mo
ment was past, the ship was completely
embayed, ana neither strength nor skill
were of any avail in averting her impen
ding fate.
In a few minutes a tremendous crash
and a heart-rending but fruitless cry for
help, announced the horrid catastrophe ;
and the last flashing signal-gun revealed
for a moment a scene too terrible to be des
cribed. The stranded vessel, hurled re
peatedly against the jagged rocks of the
bay, soon parted ; the waves dashed over
her shattered hull with relentless fury,
bearing to the shore the scattered rigging ;
whilst the mingled shrieks of the drown
ing, blended with the roar of the conflict
ing figments, rose upon the ear like th
4? pairing cries of an army of dying Ti
tan. There was one, however, in whose eyes
such a scene was joyous, in whose ears
uch sounds were melody; and that leir.g
was Terlaggau. He waited impatiently
until the storm had somewhat abated , and
when silence began to indicate that the
work of death was well nih over, be des
cended the well known cliffs to dart upon
his pre." Unmoved by the horrid, specta
cle, (foi the moon . had broken from the
clouds by which she had before been con
cealed.) b stood awhile gazing upon tbe
scene of desolation around him, at a loss
where first tottegin his work of rapine.
But, to his surprise and momentary dis
may, there was yet one living soul on
board, : who, should he survive, would in
terpose between him and his hard-earne-i
booty, and who was wen now loudly sup
plicating his assistance. To dispatch this
unhappy 'creature in his exhausted and
helpless condition, was a resolution , no
sooner. formed than executed. Whilst he
was. appearing to mui his escape from the
jawi of death, one stroke of his banker laid
i)itDa fmd and mutilated corpse upon the
eands before him. Terloggan then rifled
tbe pockets of bis victim; took a ring from
his Jgefi andt ladsn with the most porta
ble atjclef of 'pf under, retraced his foot
steps ta bis
Watjuck?" exclaimed his fiend-like
of
tbe door.
'Never better," rejoined Terloggan, point
ing to bis booty. He then described the
success of his hellish sttatagem, without
even concealing the particulars of the mur
der ; after which he displayed some pieces
of foreign gold coin, and the ring which
he had taken from the finger of the stran
ger. "Give me the light, Meg," said the hoary
villain. The hag obej ed. But no sooner
had he examined the ring, than he recog
nised its form and certain mark upon it.
His counienance changed, and with a
groan of agony he quickly handed it to his
wife. She knew too well from whose hand
it must have been taken, and, after glanc
ing at it for a moment, yelle I out with
supernatural energy : "Oh, my son, my
poor son !" and fi ll senseless at the feet of
4ier husband. '1 erlogffun endeavored to
master his feelings unul the fact could be
ascertained. He arose with thednwn.and
hastened to the spot where he had left the
murdered corps. It was indeed his son
I'he stroke of retribution had been com
plete. Overwhelmed by despair, and stung
by remorse, lo which his heart had ever
before been impervious, he determined on
self-destruction. A fevv diiys afei wards
his mangled body was found among the
rocks, and interred on the spot where he
had perpetrated his last deed of blood.
The chief incidents of his last terrible story
are narrated in the neighborhood which
was the scene of its hero's manifold atroci
ties. His wretched wife perished a few
weeks afterwards by the fall of her hut,
occasioned by one of those dreadful storms
which she and her savage helpmate had
so frequently invoked.

"Hooflakd's Girmass BiTTtas. We have seen
many fi itlorinir notices of this medicine, ind the
source from which they camo induced us t. make
inquiry respecting its merits. From inquiry we
were persuaded ;o use it, and nv.st say we found it
specific fn lis action apon diseases of the liver and
digestive organ, and the powerful influence it exerts
upon nervous prostration, is really surprising It
calms and strengthens the nerves, bringing ihem in
to a atate of repose, making sleep refreshing.
If this medicine wit more generally used, we are
satisfied there would be less sickness, as from the
stomach, liver and nervous system, the great major
ity of real and imaginary deseases etmnate. Have
them in healthy condition and you can bid defi
ance to epidemics generally. This extraordinary
medicine we woold advise our friends who are at all
indisposed, to ive atrial it will recommend it
self. It should, n fact, be la every family. No other
rnedicinr can prodnceanch evidences of merit."

and dauhtt-rs said that he must do as I hey
wished, and so he had yielded an cny com
(iliance. On inquiry, he was told that Rotit
w,i the man lor him; so, one bright movu
inu lie took his way, down Citesiiut to the"
jyallcry of the far-famed dagu-rrotyj'ii.
Mr. Uooi ivus al home, of course, ujid rruily

making his own remarks on nil he saw, was
invited to walk up into the operating roo.n.

curious.
Into the operating room n replied Mr.
Root as he moved townrds the door".
The farmer was not yet sure rtint he had
heard correctly, but he did not like lo n-k
again, so he followed on ; but it rounded in
his ears very much as if Mr. Root had said

of opcraiionsM was the culling1 off of legs
and arm. However, up stairs he Went. with,
his dog close behind hlrn, and wait soon intfo
durcd into a room iu the third story. .
' Now. sir " said Air. Root srodinjr. aalhe
farmer thought, u Utile strangely--" we will
see what we can do for you. Takeo-vcut
in lhat chair."
The farmer aat down, reeling a little un
easy, for he did not tr.nrlt like the appear
ance of things. Besides Mr. Root, there
was another roan in the room, and he felt
that, if any unfair play were attempted, lliey
would prove too murh for him. This ideti,
as it clearly presented iudl, aeemed so ridi
culous tlmi l,e tried lo thrust it rvwny. but fie
could not. There was n mysU-ribus lirkii g
in the room, for which he cotrW not account.
I t was like the sound of n crocT and yH not
like iu He glanced around, but could not
perceive ihe source from whence it came.
Atone moment, if seemed to be under the
floor near his feet, then in ihe ctiPng. and
next in a ftr corner of the room.
At he took, his place ia the chair that had
ocen pointed out, Air. Rcot drew a singular-
looiung apparatus into the middle of the,
floor, and directed towards him ibe nMjazla
f what seemed a small brass cannon. At
the same time, the other man placed his hand
upon ms neati and drew it back Into nn iron '
clamp, tbe cold uch of which made the.
blo.-d in Lis veius cardie to hi wery heart..
The larmer was a man who both took mud
