" Mercy!" gasped the tory, turning asby
paw by turns, as that awful gulf yawned
below. " Mercy! I have a wife and child
at home—spare me."
the continental, with his muscular
strenth gathered for the effort, shook the
murderer once more over the abyss, then
hissed his bitter sheer in his face. > '
• “I My brother had a and two chil
dren. The moring after the night of Pa
,oli that wife was a widow, those children
fatherless. Would you not like to go and
begjyour life of that widow and her. father
less I children ?"
The proposal made by the continental
in mockery and bitter hate, was taken to
the; widow, and to have the privilege
of pegging his life. After a moment's
serious thought* the patriotic soldier con-,
seated. He bound the tory’s arms still
tighter, placed him on the rooks again,
and'led him to ihe woods. A quiet cot
tage, embossed among the the trees, broke
on their eyes. They entered the cottage.
There, beside the desolate hearthstone, sat
the widow and children.
She sat there, a matronly woman of
about twenty-three years, with a face faded
by care—a deep dark eye, and long black
hair hanging in a disheveled state about
her shoulders. On one side was a dark
haired boy of some six years, on the other
side a girl one year younger, with light
blue eyes. The Bible-—an pld and ven
erable volume—lay open upon the moth
er’s knee. And now the pale face tory
flung himself upon bis knees, and con
fessed he had butchered her husband on
the night of Paoli, and begged his life at
her hands.
, “ Spare me for the sake of my wife —
child—"
He bad expected this pitiful moan
would touch the widow's heart, but not
one relenting gleam softened her face.
“The Lord shall judge between us,”
she said in a cold icy tone, that froze the
murderer’s heart. “Look, the Bible is
on my lap j I will close the volume, and
this boy shall open it, and place bis fingers
at random upon a verse.”
There was a silence. The continental
soldier, who had sworn to avenge his
Brother’s death, stood with dilating eyes
and iparted lips. The culprit kneeling
upoiKtbe floor, with his face'like decolor
ed clay; felt his heart leap to his throat.
Then, in a clear bold voice«, tho widow
read from the Old* Testament.—
It was short, yet terrible:
v “ That man shall die !”
Lpok! the brother springs forward to
plunge a knife into the murderer’s heart,
but the tory, pinioned as, he is, clings to
the widow’s knees. He begs that one
more trial may he made by tb e little girl,
the child of five years old, with the golden
hair and laughing eyes.
Tl|e widow consents. There is an awful
pausp. With a smile in her eye, without
knowing what she was doing, the little
girl opens the Bible -as it lay ion her moth
er’s kneo j; she turned her fape 'away, and
placed her finger upon a line.
The awful silence grows deeper The
deep; draw*). breaths of the brother, and
broken gasp of the murderer, alone disturb
the stillness; the widow and dark haired
boy were breathless. The little girl, as
she caught a feeling of awe from those
abouther, stood breathless, her face turned
aside, and lief tiny-finger resting on the

Ai lehgtb, gathering courage, the widow
ihcnt her pye upon the page, and read. It

dred yards to our right, upon the brow of
a small hill, a spotted leopard (commonly
called, in this country, a tiger, though
much smaller-than the Lord of the Indian

Memory of the Elephant.— ?A ft
male elephant,: belonging to a gcutlemao
at Calcutta, who was ordered from the up
per country to Chittagong, on the route
thither, broke loose from her keeper, and
Imaking her way to the woods, was lost. —
The keeper made every excuse to vindi
cate himself, which the master of the ani
mal would hot listen to, but branded the
man with carelessness, or something worse;
for it was instantly supposed that he sold
the elephant. He was tried for it, and
condemned to work on the roads for Kfe,
and his wife and children were sold for
slaves. About twelve years afterwards,
this man, who was known to be well ac
quainted with breaking elephants, was
sent into the country with a party to assist
in catching wild ones. They came upon
a herd, and this man fancied he saw among

he was condemned. Qe resolved to ap

the attempt. Haying reached the animal,

spontaneously laid down and allowed him
to mount her neck. She afterward assis

three young ones, to which she had
given birth in her absence. The keeper
returned, and the singular circumstances '
