In spite of the high opinion which we en tertain of feminine courage in general, we must be permitted to doubt whether you all. ladies, feel yourselves capable of imitating on a similar occasion the. heroine of the fol lowing little storv, which we can recom mend to your attention asentirely true : Madame Aubrey occupied with her hus band a large old house, in the village of D . This house stood entirely alone. at the foot of an immense garden, far from neighbors, and had no other occupant than Monsieur and Madame Aubrey, their son, an itifint fif twelve months, and a domestic, re- ! centlv admitted into their service. Ofie evening in the m mth of November Madame Aubrey was awaiting with some ' anxietv the return of her husband, who had been gone since moming to a town distant a few miles from T) . His business was to collect a debt, and he expected to bring 1 heme a large sum of money, and his wife now r.Miieinber.-d. with a feeling of uneasi ness, that she had seen l.im arm himself with a nair of pUtols. It was about six o'clock, I and Madame Audrey went to her chamler ! accompanied by the domestic, with the in ; tention of putting her little boy to bed. ! This apartment, larse and high, was situated ' on thp second floor, looking inta the garden. : The oaken woodwork, turned almost, black with age, the old-fashioned furniture of ' grnte-rjue form and gloomy color, and some ' family portiai's in ancient dicss and severe coniitenn roes, gave to the room somewhat of a forbidden aspect. A deep alcove, beside : which was placed the cradle of the infant, 1 occupied nearlv all the side of the room op I posite to the fire-place. The curtains were ! drawn across the front, but one corner, hav ing caifvht upon some article near, was rais- ed sufficiently fo show the foot of the bed stead, made of the same dark wood with the rest of the furniture, and carved in the curi ous ti.'iires and grotesque lines in which the artir-ans of a hundred years back were wont ; to indulge. I The night was a true November night '. black and gloomy, with torrents of rain, ! which heat continually upon the windows. ; The tree of the garden, bent by the force of the wind, from time to time drew the fin ! ger like ends o' their branches across the g'ass, making a fantastic and melancholy concert. In which mingled no human voice j no so'jnd which promised human aid, should ; the want he ever so urgent, j Madame Aubrey at upon a low chair in tne corner of the fire-place, holding upon her knees the litt'e boy whom she was undress I ing, while the servant at the other end of the ! room executed certain order of her mistress. J A blazing wood fire, aided by a lamp upon I the mantle shelf, tlnew a strong light upon . some objects, left others in intense shadow, and upon others again casta wayward and fitful gleam, which caused them to assume gro'esqtie and unreal forms. The naiiT had ceased his laughing p ay and had closed his drowsy ey.. The mother threw her eyes toward th-cradle to assure herself that all 1 was prepared ; at this moment th fire blazed i up suddenly and threw a strong light upon I the corner of the bed exoosed by the lifted i curtain. As Madame Aubrey looked, she : almost fell from her chair; under the bed, I close to the cradle in which she had been j ahnuf to deposit her sleeping child, she now , bebe'd two great feet, shod in coarse bro : gans. In an instant the sense of her situa ( tion flashed across the mind of the young ' woman as if shown by a flash of lightning. I This hidden man no doubt was a thief, per I haps an assassin. She was alone, without j help present or soon to be expected, for her I husband was not to return till eight or nine j o'clock, and it was now but little past six. t What should she do? How should she de- fend herself? Ma lame Aubrev had uttered no rv she had n 't even moved, but she feared that the servant, making the pain discovery, might j not show the same prudence. The thief j probably intended to lem.iin in his present i tios:!ion until the middle of the night, then ' to issue foith and possess himself of the sum ! brought home by Monsieur Aubrey. But if j prematurely discovered, and having no op ponents but two women, he would probably make his escape, first securing their silence by their death. Then who knows but the servant herself was an accomplice suspi cious circumstances, hitherto unregarded, returned with renewed violence to the mind of Madame Aubrey. All these thoughts passed through the mind of the young moth er in less time than I have occupied in the telling. Before many minutes had elapsed her calmness had entirely r-urned, and she had decided niton her part in the terrible drama. But she must get rid of the servant. "You know." sai4 she, without the least faltering of her voice, "you know the dishes which my husband prefers, and I think lie ryi'l be p'e,-.'l to fin-1 a qoij.I tuppcr roady "HE 18 A FRKEMA.N WHOM THI TRUTH E BENS BURG, PA..

I had forgotten to tell you about it before, but co now And begin your preparations and bestow attention upon it " "0ut," answered the servant, "shall you not want mo here, as usual." "No, I can do everything myself. Mon- I sieur would be displeased. I am sure, if af ter his long ride in Pitch weather he should not find a good supper upon his return." After some attempts at f'.elay, which re doubled in Madame Aubrey an uneasiness whieh she wai obliged to conceal, the girl quitted the chamhet. Her footsteps died away upon the stairs, and her mistress found herself alone with her child and those two terrible feet, whieh, half seen in the now dying licht, seemed immovable as the bed stead itself. She still remained sitting near the chimnf y with the baby upon her lap, ad dressing to him, almost mechanically, car ressing words, and soothing him to sleep, while her eyes never wandered from the menacing feet. The little fellow, tired of liis position, began to cry for his cradle and t its soothing motion, but the cradle was close I to the alcove close to the feet. The young mother conquered herself by a violent effort. "Come then, my child," said she, and ris- d '-7't-" steps to be firm, and went .oward the alcove. Behold her close to the ominous feet ! She placed the baby in the cradle, and with a 1 . ...... , .- , ii,n.. voice which all her resolutions could hardly i keep from treinb.i ng. stie commenced to sing i her usual lullaby to the unconscious child. and as she sang the idea was ever in her mind that each word might be her last. At j last the boy slept soundly, and the mother i returned to her seat bv the fire. The clock strikes seven. One hour more and Madame Aubrey may expect deliver ance. A deep silence reigned in the cham ber. The infant slept peacefully. His moth er, her hands convulsively clasping each oth er her lios apart, her eyes fixed upon the I menacing feet, remained immovable as a j : statue. From time to time, some noise in ; : the garden would cause the heart of the ! i watcher to bap with hope, but it always j , proved to he the rain, the wind or the shak- '; J ing trees. It seemed to the unhappy woman ; that time had stopped, and that, she was . 1 alone with those haunting feet. Heavens! : They move ! Is the assassin about to com- , mence his fearful work? But no it was i . only a slight movement, induced 110 doubt . 1 by t iie constrained position. He resumes his I immobility. I The "naif-hour stiikes. The anxious wo- I man could have almost sworn that it was ' two hours since it struck last, but 110, she knows that the clock is faithful, and there 1 is s-till another weary half-hour bet ore she . may expect her deliverer. i Madame Aubrey took a book of religious meditations from the chimney-piece above her head, and attempted to read. Vain ef fort ! Her eyes wandered continually from the page. Snddi nly a thought crossed her mind with the sharpness anil siid.leii'iess of i light if her husband should not return ! His parents iivtd in the village to which tie , had gone; what m r-11 itural than that, see- ing the severity of the weather, M Aulirey ! should allow himself, by fond persuasions, 1 to be detained until morning! She c.m.d neither wonder at nor blame him. But then 1 w hat would become of herself and the little 'one dealer than herself ? ln-r brain reeled uud-r the thought. Eight o'clock sounded ; ai d nobody came. The supposition then ! was correct ; the unhappy woman gave her ! self up for lost. She was about to seize her 1 child and fly from the room when a noise muled fiom the gravel walk beneath the I rc i window. The eager listener dared not trut j her ears, she had been so often deceived ; but now the door rolled upon its hinges and : then tei: heavily back in its place. A well , known step gay ly ascended the stairs the I chamber door opened and a man appeared : a man, handsome, strong and vigorous. It ! was he! At this moment, had M.Aubrey ; been the ugliest of men the worst of bus- bands he would have assumed, in the eyes i of his w ife, all the graces, all the virtues im I aginable. He had only paused below to take off his j di ipping cloak and lay down his pistols. i lie extended his arms and hi wite rushed I into them. But immediately recovering her j Self, she placed one finger on her lips, and I w ith the other hand pointed to the feet, j M. Aubrey would have not. been vvorMiy ; of such a wife if he had failed in decision or ; sff froid. He gave a glance at his wife i which said ttiat he understood, and said ' aloud : I "One moment, my darling, and I will re ; turn ; I have left my pocket-book down stairs, anrl I must show you my riche." With these words he left the room, but in 1 a moment be returned, holding a pistol in his hand. He examined the luck, approached the bed, stooped down and with his left hand . seized one of the two feeL the ting r of his j right hand resting on the trigger of his pis- i tol. ! "ltesist, and you are a dead man !" he ex- ' 1 claimed. j j The owner of the feet did not seem dis- i i pos d to risk the event. He suffered him- ; 1 self to be dragged by the foot into the mid- j I die ot the room, where he disclosed a most . I villainous face as he crouched before the j j pistol pointed at his head. On being search- i j ed, a dagger was found and newly sharKu- ! ' ed. He confessed that the servant was his ' accomplice, and had told him of the booty , j which awaited him. i Nothing remained but to deliver both to j I justice. Madame A u brer indeed begged her husband to let them escape, but the public ! I interest demanded the sacrifh-e of private ; ; lenify, and they were delivered np. Dining i ! all this time the unconscious child slept soundly. After some little time Madame j j Aubrey related the events of the evening. i J "I did not think you had been so brave," ! Siiid her husband, embracing her. i But in spite of her bravery, the events of that night brought on a nervous fever, from which our little heroine did not recover for some weeks. "Mother," remarked a Duiuth girl, "I think Harry must be going to propose to me." "Why so, my daughter?" queried the old lady, laying down her spectacles, wMile, her face beamed like the tniKin in its four teenth night. Well, be asked me this even ing if I wasn't tired living with such a men. agerie as you and dad." "Tell me, ye angelic hosts, ye messen gers of love ; shall swindled printers here be low have no redress bove?" The angels flapped their wings and said : "To j'ou a beau is given ; delinquents on a priuter's bock can ueycr tatcr heaven. MAKES FREE, AND ALL ARE SLAVES BESIDE. JOINING THE CANNIBALS. HOW AS AMERICAN I-.KCAMK A SOUTH SEA ISLANDER SOME CURIOUS CEREMONIES. An American trsveller, who has spent ten years of his life in the South Sea I--!atids, re lates some curious experiences, among the rest how he became an apostate and joined a band of savages. He had just partaken of a banquet given by the king, when he and his party were a.-ked as to their designs. He told them in reply they wanted to stay if they were allowed, and the narrator then goes on to say : This somewhat snrpiised them, and after a brief interval, the priest gave us to under stand that we could not remain there unless as citizens, but in order to our becoming such we must fust embrace their religion ; this done, it would be his majesty's gracious pleasure to receive us as his children. This was a "sticker." Embrace their re ligion, indeed ! That was putting it rather strong. "What do you think of that, Tom ?" "1 don't see anything very rough about it. We might do worse." "Worse than become a pagan?" "It's only a matter of form, anyway." "What do yon think, JacKV" "Well, I'm of the same opinion as Tom, If we wish to take it easy and comfortable i here we might as well be one of them." "Besides," said Tom, "our conforming to j the!r ceremonies docs not prove our sincer- i j ity. What is to hinder us from making be- : I lieve?' i 'Well, if it's only to be a make believe con- versation," said I, "that slightly alters the ease." " "Then it's to lie merely a make believe?" i "Certainly; make believe. Nothing more." While we he'd our conference the others ; listened and looked on with much interest, j narrowly scanning the faces of each speak- i ; er. I wns delegated to inform the priest I that we had made our decision, and would i do as the king and laws required. j At this there was a great brightening np o I countenances. A signal was given, and the j king and courtiers left the hall, while we j were told to remain there for the present, in company with the ptiest, who now evinced more friendship, and a few others. After waiting about half an hour, we heard the noise of an approaching multitude, accom- ' panied with beating of rude drums (sound ing like empty nail kegs), blowing of cor.ch shells, and female v. ices shouting a barbar ous chant. As the head or the musical col- ' umn halted at the entrance of the stockade, the priest motioned to us that all was ready, , when we immediately stepped forth. A sight met our gaze as we made our exit that i aimost took avvav our breath. A lane of human beings were formed lcad ; ing fiom the council honsp, down the valley, till it was lost under the overarching trees ' of the road, beyond which we could not see. This lane was composed of two lines on either side, facing inward, or towards us ; the two inner or nearest lines were the wo men of the nation decked in gala attire, i e., wreaths of flowers on their heads, their long, black shining hair hanging b low ih.-ii waists, garlands of flowers around their ; necks, while their toppa waistcloth was sim ilarly decorated. These females did the singing! Behind these stood the male per formers, who, as we npneared, blew their ; shell horns and bent their drums with in creased energy. About a dozen paces in ; front of us, standiag backward to us, was an escort of twenty maidens the '.., , - npiie, or the nation decor- . . ., ., . 1 er? similar to their sis- ! rcrs. In line, and further provided with a number of wreaths and garlands. j At a signal from the priest these maidens advanced in the direction toward which they ; were facing, breakirg into a chant, which I was taken up by the two lines of wo men, j with instrumental accompaniment. We ' moved onward in rer.r, the whole con ' course moving inward from the gate and fol- 1 lowing us in regu'ar order. Thus we pro- ceeded until we passed under the uuibrage ' ou arch, and after which we turned fo the j left and beheld a large inclosnre on the hill, 1 in the centre of which we descried a square i stone building or mound, something like a ' mausoleum, or, if it had been larger, areser - voir. ! As we drew near we observed near theen j trance the king, while behind him, in semi circle, were his ministers and chief men. ; Close to the gate, in two lines on both sides, j were the priests, designated as such hy long ; cloaks of lappa cloth almost tmicl ing the ! ground. We halted as we entered the open ! space in front of the king, where the maid ens immediately piaced their superfluous i wreaths on our heads and garlands around i our necks. This done, on a..r'd pri-st ad . vaneed to the gate, and in a loud voice made ; a sort of a proclamation, apparently address- ! ing the inmate, or supposed inmate, of the' mausoleum, concluoing his remarks with the I exclamation "Pi pi 1" j This was taken hy the who'e nation in re- j spouse, who also shouted "PipiT" Then our attendant priest intimated to us what to ! do, when one by one we advanced to the gate j and shouted as hmd as we could. "Pi pi.'" ! This was taken up again in response by the ; entire people, and then the ceremony closed ! Tl'.e procession then reformed, pnd with! the king and entire executive department at j its head proceeded, amid the acclamations of j the multitude, back to the stockaded palace, j On arrival the people dispersed to the sever- I al abode-, leaving us there with the king j and the three chiefs or dignitaries, including j our old friend the priesL It was now sun- I set. and just as darkness came on, lamps of I palm oil suspended in sheds, hanging Iroin j joists alnive, were lighted, shedding not a ! very brilliant light ; but stili sufficient for all ; pin poses. This done, another bounteous ' meal was spread in like manner as the pre- : vious one, ot which the king and all present partook. j - --s t I Wanted Quikt. A nervous looking man j went into a store the other day and sat dow n j for half an lumr er so, when a ch-rk asked i him if there was anything he vould do for him. He said no, he didn't want anything. The clerk went, away, and he sat there half an hour longer, when the proprietor went to him aod asked it be wanted to be shown anything. "No," said the nervous man, "I just want to sit mound. My physician has recommended perfect quiet for me, and says almve all things I must avoid being iu crowds. Noticing that you did not advertise iu the liewspaers, I thought that this would lie as quiet a place as I could find, so I just drop ped in for a few hours of isolation." The merchant picked up a bolt of pajier cambric to brain him, but the man went oat. He aid all bo wtiutod was a quiet lite. Feck'i SI.50 and IN FOR LIFE ! "This cell," said the warden, a wp reach ed 212, 'belongs to one of the oldest !if?M In this prison. I believe he has been here nigh ni to thirty years, and he bids fair to last for full twenty more. He Is a very singular man. " "His crimp was murder, of course?" "Yes. and a strange murder. He was then a young man of twenty-two, rather mo rose, if not quiet, and no one had ever heard him use an oath or seen him display even the smallest vice. Had he stolen an axe bis friends wouid have been amazed; what could their feelings have been, then, when he was charged with murder? One night, with no earthly excuse for offence, he got out of lied, walked three miles to the house of a friend, and called ' im out and stabbed him to the heart. lie then retraced his steps to his home, and returned to bed and slept sound ly until morning, the bloody knife lying on a chair by his bedside. lie made no effort to conceal his crime, and w-hen arrested had no excuse for it.

"Does he mate witn any one?" ' "No ; he conies and goes as if alone in this great prison. I cannot imagine what in ducement could be held out to make him ad dress a question to a prisoner. He shuns ail ' of us as if we were poison. During all the years he has In-en here he has not asked a fa vor of any sort." "Is he ever sick ?" "Once in a while, but be never complains. He would die in bis tracks before he would ask to see the doctoi. He has fainted away at his work bench and cried out in th- delir ium of fever, but he has never complained." "What do the prisoners say about ..im ?" "They fear him. I have been told tweiitv different times that he would some day re bel, and Miat he would have to be shot be fore he could be disarmed.
