KILLING ST DEPUTY, OR, A WOMAN'S DESPERATE StRATAGEM: In the month of December, 18----, ayoung Mee arrived from Paris at Dieppe „ and took up hie nail' dence at 1' Hotel de 1' Europe. lie ways We, had been fortunate, and the sole' object of his stay was some little adventure, some ball room conquest, whet. , with to be employed, and whereof to be vain. Well, in the hotel there lodged a lady, young. beautiful and enveloped in all the undefinable attracting; of.myaterk, No one know her; she went neither to the bati"; aor to the balls; and had not even a servant with her te be bribed. All in the hotel were raving about her beau ty, her grace, and her dignified manner- At they would steul up stairs to catch the totterCif voice, for she sang exquisitely. Ottryoung Parisi= a head was completely turned. To havesuch &neighbor, with he doubted notf,t lie face ofan angel,he knew shelled the voice of one,—und yet neitherto be able to see hie nor to speak to her —it was enough to bins mad. lie bought a guitar, and composed soma; where the_ word neighbor (rotaiew)served aa a 'lull* to the %void' unknown (incnektee.) it was quite in vein. song and guitar were equally wasted: At lergth he resolved on writing; a world ofcupids, grapes, vases, and roses, adorned the bonier of the paper; the inial was of azure blue wax; and bore it dove reedy 'for flight. The whole stnircase was perfumed as he bore the scented epistle to the servant hd had paid to con vey it. But the letter, and its half dozen set:co:sway brought no rep/y. Our Parisian arid stupified •with horror; whai: had he, the utterly irresistible, remained a fortnight under the same r_ of with a young anddieigu , tire! woman and only learnt that she went by there,* of Aladame Paul; a name, too, that was not suppose to be her own ! Love has many stages, and the young , Frenchman bad arrived at one very unusual with hint namely, melancholy. One day he was roused from a disconsolate reverie( by one of the servants, whom belied bribed taobsa sra the motions of Madame Paul, running in to inform hio that she was just gone down to the quay to see speck; et which was endeavorinr to enter the harbor in that teeth of a contrary wind. In an instant ha was an his way to the quay. The sea was writhing under the ttg 7 . fluence of the stormy wind. The whole town was gathered on the heights which commanded the attest; watching the vessel, which seemed in sheer mechtesits forcing its way despite the furious wind and the rah , _ ing tide. The gale blew so strong, that the colhaasal, crucifix of Nolte Dame De Bon Seco-ter; beat like a. hazel wand. 'Twas a thrilling sight: the noble sbiji, painted with divers colors, lighted up by one or chance rays. which stray o'er darkest seas, while the! back-ground was latmed by barriers of Miriam:tea biacle.; clouds. Now, the vessel seemed lust in air, legAt node ; the ridge of some enormous waver and then, *its , seemed lost in the alyvss of waters. "It is t o Northu m berland; an American packet," said the officer. "By our lady! she curries thek seer, and stripes aloft with a gallant bearing. Yonder is her captain disputing with a tall man in naval uniforiii. Faith! but the captain's right; it is madness to think of entering the harbor in this weather. Still, his MB companion insists; how can they risk stait.ti ( techict vessel!'' • In advance of the crowd, her' - feet on the ;kit' find . . . slippery rocks, stood u female, imiriOveiddii.

At this moment a general shout announced that the ship hod tucked; away she bounded from the . shore . , like a sea bird over the waters. .Alt," said Nladame Paul, with tv deep-draws breath, and peculior expression of countenance. "Kr much the better. Ido not (turning to bercompaaion) ask if you love me—l know you do; I em sure of it; C ime at five o'clock to my Tom; I will order dipper for two. Do not fail.

She was singing g. wild sweet song when he entered: and her back tire ' red to the door, gave him an opportunity of clorm , ring, a s she leaned over her guitar, the prettiest shaped neck and head in the world. She tose with graceful confusion, and her long eye-lashes fell over bet black eyes—b:ack as Goltatre's when their light wakened the slumbers of a pirate.
