" I'LL toll you a story how I (.lived

write, nye, and tlraw anil tew, and do
many other things which most of boys

They could play at draughts, and nt

they could not hoar, with such quick,
eager eyes did they watch every move

v,im our tongues, nnd sometimes, when
tho lads were not with us. Frank ami r
often talked In that manner, when we

It happened that on one nttimlnn 1m

ness ; he wns to havo gone by thu after
noon train, but something delayed him
so that he was not ablu to leave before
tho night express. I was not in verv
good health, uud retired to my bedroom
about two hours before ids departure j
ho promised, however, to como up and
givo me good-byo before ho startttl,
which would bo between twelve and
ono o'clock in tlio morning. Tlio mat
ter which callt-d him away wns connect
ed with tho bank here, which had been
burned down; and my husband, it'
.seems though I did not know it at tho !
time, ho great a secret had ho endeav
ored to keep It-had many thousand
pound, belonging to tho concern in his
temporary possession, locked up In tho
Iron safe In our bed-room, where tho
plate wns kept. lie was bank luaniitrer
nnd lcspoiisibio for tlio whole of it. It
was cohl weather, and thero was it llro
on UiogMto, so bright and comfortable
that I was In no hurry to leave it and
get Into bed, but sat looking into tlio
Ilery coals, and thinking about nil sorts
of things; upon tlioiongjourney Frank
had to take that night, nml how dreary
tho days would bo till ho returned, and
in particular how lonely I should feel
In that great room all by myself when
ho should be away; for I was a dread
ful coward. 1 1 was a littlo after eleven
o'clock when I letircd t but I did not
feel thu lent Inclined to sleep even
then. I knew Frank would bo coniiiie
in presently to wish mu good-bye, and
besides Micro seemed to bo all sorts of
noi-es about (lie room which my foolish
ears used to hear when I was alone nt

You may imagine then my horror !
when I heard a tremendous Mitco

of looking everywhere in tho room
where it wns quite Impossible that any
person could bo hid ; but in tho littlo
alcove into which the bed was pushed
1 had never thought of looking for
anybody. Kvor slnco 1 slept in that
room, In shorl, I bad been like tlio os
trich, that puts lis head Into thu sand,
and thru imagines It-elf in perfect safe
ly.
I bad piqued myself upon precau
tionary measures, that, alter all, might
Just as well havo been omitted. The
only thing, as 1 believe, which saved
my iia-on from departing altogether,
when I Hist heard that terrible sound,
was, that my mind clung to the lnpo
that, tiller all, It might only be the
sneeze of a cat. Fifty eats together
could not have made half the disturb
ance, it Is true, for it was a siiee.o lu
spito of himself, and tho concussion al
most shocked the hou-e ; but tho Idea
Biistalnitl mo over tlio llrst shock.
Thu next Instant, and Ihu wretch had
Eiicezcd again, mid pushed aside the
bed, which rolled on castors. 1 felt
that he wa- standing benldo my pillow
looking at me. If lie had given but the
onosiieezoho might perhaps havo no-
lloved me, as I lay quite still, breathing
ns regularly ns I could, and pretending
to bo asleep ; but hu reasoned very
justly, that unless I was deal or dead, I
must liavo beeiiftwnkeued by tho sound.
"ou are awake, inarm," said ho In a
very gruir voice, "ami lis or no uso
your shamming; If you don't want n
rap with this llfo preserver, Just look
alive."
I opened my eyes exceedingly wldo
at lids, and saw n man with crapo over
his face, standing by tho bed ; ho had a
club, with two knobs on It, lu Ids tight
hand, ami with his left hand pointed to
lliosare.
"Is tho money there V"
"The pinto Is," said I lu u tremulous
voice; "pray take It, sir. I'm sure you
nro very welcome ;" for ho might hnvo
taken everything vnliublu In tho liou-u
with 'ill my heart, so long as ho would
leavo mo my llfo,
"Tho money thu gold thu notes
nro tlioy thero V" ho cried again In a
whisper.
"It's ail thero," replied I, though 1
know nothing about It ; "all except fif
teen nnd sixpence In my purse, on tho
dressing table yonder. Them's silver
mustard pots, besides, In tho pantry,
nnd n couple of candlostlcks in my hus
band's btudy, only thoy nro plated, and
I would not deeelvo you, sir, on any
account."
"You had belter not," nald the bur-

glnr grimly, "or It'll bu worso for you."
Ho Immediately produced n key Hko
that my husbntid used, nnd approached
tho safe j but ns ho did so his guilty ear
caught n sound of footsteps on the tlnlrs.
"Who Is that'."
"My husband," said I. "hut tirnv
don't hurl him."
"Is ho not cono to tewn. then V" erloil
tho rufllnn, with nn oatli of disappoint
ment. "Ilu's going at twelve," lepllod 1, "ho
is, iiiiiood."
"If you tell him, woman," said tho
ourgiar Hoarsely, "if you brent hu but
ono word of my presenco here, it will
tjo mo (lentil (loom of you both ;" l:o
iiausiippeti lino tho ulcovo and drawn
llio bed back lo its place in uu instant.
My husband entered ImmedlnfeK' nf.
terwards, nnd uven while, ho was In tho
room, I heard tho awful threat retienli'il
iiKiiiu tiiroiigii tno thick curtain behind
me.
"If you but Wliisncr it. woman, r
will kill you where you lie. Promise
not to tell him."
"I will," said 1, solemnly, "I promise
not to open my lips at all about tho
ma, tor."
Frank leaned over tho pillow to kiss
me, and observing how lerrllleil I
loi.kcd, said :
on have been frltrhteiiini.' yourself
about robbers again, I suppose, you sll-
ly gin."
"X'ot 1, Frank," returned 1 as cheer-
fully as I could. "I havo u littlo bend-
ncbe;" but said with iny lingers to that
no eoiini plainly read It in thu llreliglit,
"For Clod's sako bo unlet ! Hut there Is
certainly a man behind tho headboard."
I- rank wns as bold ns n lion, uuil h.ul
nerves llko iron, although he was so
tender hearted and kind. Ho only an
swered :
"Where Is your sal-volatile, dearest V"
nnd went to tlio lnnntle-pieco to get it.
I thought ho never could have under
stood mo, ho spoko with such coolness
nnd unconcern, until I saw his lingers
reply as ho took up tbo bottle. "All
right, don't be nfruld."
And then I wns not afraid, or nt least
not much ; for 1 know I should not bo
left alone ono instant; and 1 thought
that my Frank was n match for any
two such men In such a case ; only ho
had no weapon..
"Ilohas n life preserver," said 1 witli
my lingers.
" Your llro is gutting rather low, now
Georgy," observed he, ns hu took up
tho poker (ah, lie had u weapon then)
"I must leave you a good blazo before
I go."
IIo fixed the llroand loft tho pokerin,
but wlthouftaking eyes off mo or the
bedhead.
"I'll Just ring tbo liell nnd see wheth
er Thomas has got the portmanteau
rcauy. Alary," continued he lo the
mnlil that eamo to tho door, "send

"Como in, Thomns," said Frank.
"Come In," fur Thomas was modestly
hesltatlngattliochambertlooi'. "There
is s01lll! blackguard got Into the house.
ami iieiiiiiii ino lied there. If ho makes
(lie least resistance, I'll kia him Willi
this red hot poker."
At theso words llio bed was pii-hcd
slowly outward, anil thobinglar, with
out his ciapo mask, and his face as pale
as ashes, eamo out from ids hiding
place. Frank knew him as u bank
iiics-engcr, who had been out oremploy
liient since Iho fire, on suspicion of his
honesty.
"Oh, sir, liavo pity on me," cried lie.
"I'm an unlucky dog! If it hadn't
been for a siiee.o 1 should have ten
thousand pounds In my pocke1 bv lids
time."
"Oh, you emtio nfler thai, did you'.'
Well, give up that llfo pri-erver you
havo in your pocket before we havo any
more conversation," said my hu-band
coolly.
"Did your lady tell you that too;and
I yet I stood by her and never heard her
i utter a syllable,"cr!ed the villain in tie
i cenl'i of atonl-liinenl, as lie delivered
lip the weapon to tlio male servant.
"1 never spoko a word," cried 1
thought the drcsslng.rooni key-hole,
for I did nottaiolo havollioman llilnk
that I had broken my oath, nor, to s.iy
tho truth, was 1 anxious to make a
deadly enemy of him in ease ho should
ever bo at largo again.
"Then It Is a Judgement upon mo,
and it Is no good to light against It,"
said tho miserable wretch.
"Xot in tlio least, anil wo will go to
the police olllce at once."
So oil' went tho burglar In their cus

an animal was captured, and, packed lu
a cask of spirits of wine, duly arrived
lu this country a few weeks since ; and
It Is found to correspond closely with
tho description of It by Professor Owen.
The gorilla Isn native of western Af
rica, and Is known to exist, lu very
largo numbers, lu tlio Oaboon districts,
whero they are among the most formid
able of the wild animals or thu forest.
Tito present specimen, which has been
most carefully skinned and preserved
by Mr. Dartlelt, under tho direction of
Professor Owen, is rather moro than
five root In height. It Is u male, known
to bo voumr by tbo state of Ids teeth
nnd tho condition of tho sutures of tho
skull. In features thu animal Is very
much like u negro, and thu orbits over
theeyes aro considerably projected. The
teeth are formed almost precisely as In
man; and, unlike those ol' thu monkey
chimpanzee, or ourang-oiitang, they nro
of great strength. In the skull, which
was first sent over to this country, tho
canines wero nearly as largo and as
strong as those of a Hon. Tho hair on
tho upper part of tho head of tho goril
la Is a reddish brown, upon the cheeks
thu smooth hair is of tl grayish hue; tho
back Is covered with dun or mouso-col-
oreil hair; the hair upon thu arm from
tlio hand to llio elbow is black, and It
grows upward rroiu the hand toward
tho elbow. Thu chest is nearly bare.
There wero thirteen wounds In tho body
of tho nulnial, anil two nullets wero ex
tracted from It, one from a wound
which had been n long timu healed over
Thu negroes of Africa Live in constant
terror of these animals, which nro gre
garious; and It is stated by tbo natives
that they frequently descend in consld -
eriiblo force, sack tho villages, carry
away the young children and devour
thorn ; nud, further, that thoy have a
very ugly custom ol attacking men,

tures Is fired at or attacked, the whole

may ho correct there I, at present no !

tho gorilla Is not a vegetarian lu his
habits, and that he would have no scru-1

logical Society on Iho external cliniac-
toristics of the animal. lie first called
attention lo the shortness, almost ab

to project beyond tho " occiput ;" to tho
rent slzo and elovatlon of the blade-
bones; and to the obllquo rising of tho
collar-bones above the level of tho an

from tho human structuro wero seen
In tho limbs, which nro of great power,
tho upper ones prodigiously strong. A

for Its breadth nnd thickness, nod for
tbo great length or the palm, partly
occasioned by tho extent of undivided

to nulls, which, being not larger or
longer than those of.maii, nro relatively
to tlio fingers much smaller. Tho clr

Tho thumb, besides Its bhortnoss.neco ril

Is scarcely half so thick as tho forefinger.
In tlio hind limbs, appearances lead
to an Inference that tho gorilla resorts
to them in station and progression morn

Tlio thigh has n great circumference
