Till! i li.ter of 18 was an exceeding ly severe one: nothing like It had been known wlihln the memory of that re- llableauthority "thenldet inhabitant." Heavy falls of snow had whitened the ground early in tho season, and the l.rcn mid piercing North winds, allied by frequent nm fwt ll"a hall had prevented the sun's rays from af fecting materially tho earth's white and dazzling mantle. r was a hard oason for the poor, tied reudeied doubly so from lliu fact that tlicalmostutlcrpros tratlon of biisiiic'.s had thrown luin- died- of workln t men out of employ, ment, mul drlvin maoy lo ncls of ills'. honesty and even greater crimes. I was spending weird weeks in p. snia'.l town In the western putt of thn State, and It was lu Hi!-, place, on one of the bitterest nights of this miht bitter win ter, that the adveiiturn bofel mo which I proposo to relate one which hag fixed iNelf so llrmlyin my momory tliat the ihpso of tlmo lias done nothing to efface It, or render its iiii-idon ts less fresh and vivid. A few words by way of intro duction will first bo necessary. Tint town of , although not a large one, was on the line of a railroad and thus received a fair amount of trav eling custom. I was stopping at the bent hotel In tho plnco kept by a mo-t portly host and one wc l 1 acquainted with the desirable art of "keeping a hotel." Tho gnosis were a, Jovial fun-loving set, much given to story telling, singing and mild conviviality during tho long winter evening. Witli them 1 had be come, very well acquainted before the period ill which my .-.tory begins. A hurt lime before this however, our number had been inerc.icd by thn arrb al oi" a young man from the West, a rough looking fellow, whose exact po- Won in the social world it was hard to llx. tr, 1 ....I.,,.... 1.. ,,,1.1, ..v ii.iii v, 111 v: 1111 1 -nil iii.iii. i.

Soon however, rumors were vh!-pered about oiiceriilng the loss of various mall ar- llelei from this room, culminating An ally In tho breaking open of a carpet bag and tlio forcible abstraction there from of sundry articles of wearing ap parel. S(UH of the occupants of the room spoke strongly against tho new 'tinier, and, if my memory serves mo rightly, even went so far as to accuso I1I111 of Ihe thefts. I had carefully refrained from 'giving any opinion regarding tho mutter, part ly from a dl-iiielltintlon tomeililloln nil a'tViiir whlcli was 110 business of mine, and partly from the fact that I could co no proof whatever ol his eompilci- tv, I had, however, on the invasion or llie l ist dl-covery, mentioned that If he were utility ho sh uild be arrested and punished, a It was not only rather ex pensive to the pi;rnoiis plundered, but vi ry damaging to the reputation 01 the well-kent and orderly hotol. This oh. nervation of mine, probably somewhat di-torU'd, in is aluost invariably the ea-f with remarks p.t-lng through sec ond hand-, or rather through set mid mouths, had miehod ihe oars of the bus pt ctoil party, greatly to the do-tl notion of hlspeaco ul' mind, and 1 In turn was iufoiiiK ii, that vi'iigeaiiec dire had boon threatened me, and personal ch.isllsc inent of an unlimited character. This of cotue w.w unpleasant news, as 1 am of small stature and in no manner ptigl llatlcally Inclined, mow especially In a case llko this, whore my adyoivs.iry was of much greater proportions ami some thing of an athleto its well. I deemed It however bolter to say nothing, but to let tho inaltor die out, keeping a eloso watch over my unruly tongue, lest I should again cumuill myseir and bring down punishment un my devoted head. Matters were In this eondlllim on tho memorable night to which I nllmlo. I had retired tally, fatigued with walk ing over thu yielding snow in tho faeo of 11 sharp Northeastor and had fallen Into a deep druaiuloss sleep which lasted until after midnight I supposo, for tho hotiso was intensely quiet j the last rois terer had left thu bar-roum, ami 110 bound gave evidence of wakeful or wit- 1 king humanity.

Hiiddenly n murmuring llkon hiimnn volee sounded in the i,!ll Just outsldo of my door, and then my ear detected soft footfall'? iw If ni ado by Btoekliigcd feet. With every (acult.- intetisiried u hundred fold, I watched and listened. I had flxed'niy eyw on the door, which I could liavu sworn wiw both locked and bolted, when It noiselessly opened, ineetlnp; with no resl-jtanco from bolt or bar, and two men entered tho room. Tho llrst I recoftulzed Immedlati'ly as the suspected thief of room No. , the other waS n .stranger. No attempt was iinule at concealment by eltherof them. Both woro fur cap? but these were rath er pushed back from the furehead, than pulled forward and evinced no desire on their parts to prevent recognition. The door was sliut as noiselessly us It had been opened and the men blood by the bedside whispering softly, mi softly Indeed that, although my hearing was doubly acute, I could not dWtiiigul'h what was said, After what seemed to bo minutes, but was probably second", tho mint whom 1 knew, and whom 1 may as well call C! , for dUtilictlon, seized me by tho left arm and with a strong quick Jerli landed me In the mlddlo of tho room. I 1 Us companion nuldenlyspratig forward and grasped his arm, and as iny eyes instinctively followed the motion I saw to my horror that Ids hand held a large heavy handled bowlo knife. A slight struggle took place but was conducted without noise, liven ut the time, I was struck with the fact that their footsteps seemed toc.aiiseiiosounil, whll-t I could distinctly hour the patter of my naked feet as 1 moved my position to avoid them in their struggle. This nimeared all liir lyoio At range, because 1 had de tected their foot steps before they en tered the 100111. At length G desis ted Irom his efforts to wrench his arm Irom his companion's grasp atul asked in a sharp quick voice, which did not si'f'tn to convey any sound heyonil the cais of Ids companion and myself,"why 'ho'.ild not I V" "Don't make a fool of yoiir-elf " .-aid tho other gruflly, "hav en't you trouble enough on your hands now, or do you want to swing for it V If vou niuat do it, wait till wo get through at any 1 ate." To this G made no response but walking up to me, pushed me forcibly lown on a chair which stood by the whitlow, sayr.ig.uslio pa-od hi dangerous looking knife beforu my eyes "Sit there twlth an oath) till we get through and thi n I'll cut your throat as sure as my name is (1 The night as I havo (.aid before was Intensely cold, so cold that the water froze solid to the very bottom of my water pitcher, and I was sitting lu till: bitter air In mv night-shirt, and with my bare feet on the Iloor. I remember to have read, that men placed In posl tlous of peril, In Iho face of death a- ll weie, often have to pass in review tho actions of their lives In 11 moment of I time, from the earliest bourn of child hood until that which seems to them the last of their existence.

I thought of all my lookdl for plea-tiros, my anticipa tions of worldly -access, my good it'- solves, my separation from loving friends and family, and then I pictured tho consternation and dismay of mine portly host ami his jovial guests, whom I had loft lu snob line spirit-, but a fw hours since, when in tho morning they would lliul a gha-tly corpse with "that across his throat that they would hard ly euro to see." I dared not call for help, knowing Unit bufoie any one could reach me the tb itl would becim-iiinium-letl, and I had 110 desire to hasten iny fate even though It seemed Inevitable. Strange to say, during nil this tlmo no fooling of fear crossed 1110, a teiiso of wonder and of regret for leaving earth by the dastardly hand of a cut-throat aiid thief, was all I felt. In fact so Ut ile was iter-onal ioar present with mo tli.it when It approached me 01100 and. ns if to try my nervo, drew the luck of his knife across my throat I did not even shrink, although the touch of the cold stool was like that of the baud of Death. It must not bo understood that whilst 1 was rovhiwing my life, I h.ul let my attention wander. On the contrary, my 1'nzti was Axed uiiou tho men in If fas- cliiftted.and followed their every action. They lull opened my trunk ami ta ken therefrom nuii tilings as thoy do sired, ami had even opened u butidlo of private papers and sionied to bo look ing unions them for something of Im- purtuiice. -My clothes which ntiiig over the back of a chair were not molested, although my watch and pocket book wore lu them. At length they closed tho trunk, lolled tho articles they had taken Into a liiindliyind lurnod towards me. Thou I perceived for the llrst time that they both had knives In. their hands, the knives were exactly nllke, both had horn handles anil were broad bliided and heavy, as bowlo knives al whys are. As thoy approached mo I looked them fnlily in the face, never flinching or moving, except that just beforu they got near enough to touch me. uiy feet suddenly fell cold nnd 1 drew them up on tho round of thechalr. Btrmigu that a man should fui personal Inconvenience, with death staring him In tho face. This apathy continued even when O spoke to mo ami cald, " I swore I would kill you nnd you see Iruiii going to kivp my word." 1 made 110 reily but thought how perfectly I could understand the p.ctlon of -oiik men who had perished on the scaffold, men who gave up their lives as if they did not care to keep them, who looked nt tho wnlllngmultltude with unmoved face, mid stepped on the fatal drop with a smile. Dying gamo they Call it 1 J understood it all then. Dentil, more merciful than man who punishes, blunts all the sensibilities and makes his nwful approach seem unreal uutl far oir. Hut I would never live to tell all this, and again ihe. foellngof regret rose strong within me: to know all this and yet to be debarred from communicating it, seemed hard to hear. At this mo ment G stepped forward, grasped 1110 by tho hair and bending my head back so that I perforce caught one lat glimpse of the peaceful scene without, tho Whlto snow and tho silvery moon light, raised his knife, when a sudden noise as or tho swinging to of a door, caused him to , iiuse and half re lease his grasp of my hair, then theio came the heavy footsteps of a man and the half ntidlblo humming of n tune. (i 's companion for tho second lime grasped Ihe would-be murderer's arm, and hlsi-vd rather than spoke, "(illicit, for 1 ioil's sake pome, you'ie too late." Without waiting for reply, he draggtd the reluctant a towards the door.
