She had often been left alone before, on nights as rude as .this, when Mal colm was out tending-the sheep,:or watching them to then: folds;, .bmsire remembered no such fear and anxiety on bis account. SW was nervous and alarmed by'the staid of her child, and all things presented tlromsohres to her now tn an as pect of gloom'. The howling of the wind, also, had now. become fearful* and. it swept down the glen in furious gusts, driving clouds ol* snow drift before it. The hut was placed in a sheltered spot, near the bottom of the valley protected, on.its western side by a huge crag, which broke the force of the wind Which ranged along Iho glen from that quar ter. : But this very circumstance rcndcr'ccl il more : liable to the- lliOe coliagei and soohi.wrapl It in its fleecy folds.— Some gusts, fiercer than the.reel,.had, in their wild eddyings, struck-the cabin door, and through its chinks driven,(he fioecy shower into the very centre of the apartment. Looking at the little window, she saw that it was now battered with snow, and that the drift was already gathering round her dwelling. She shuddered to think of her husband, contending with the fury of. the ele ments without, and bethought of her at once send ing old Lauth, a sagacious brute, who still-lay whining at the door, and occasionally scratching at it with his paws. Sho at once proceeded to open the door— Lautb sjmnging tip. and wagging his idlt—arid swinging n back, she'pbinted with her finger down the glen,' and said, "seek him, Lauth, seek him.’’- The affectionate animal need ed no encouragement; he bounded off and was soon, lost amid the fleecy drifts which whirled along the valley. Tho night wore on slowly l tho wife was now no less, anxious for hor husband’s fate than for her child’s. The little sufferer still moaned, but he slept; and she was thankful. She sat ovor % the fire, rocking to and fro and moaning her regrets to tho night. Now she would s(t and listen. It was an approaching voice—no, it was only the rattle of the cottage pane—or was that Laulh’s. bark! No, it was the screeching of the. wind over tho rude.chimney-top.. Or, hark! was that the tread of feet! Ah, no; the snow mow lies thick—it was only ilia crackling of (ho sand under the woodon stool on which sho sits rocking and moaning. . Malcolm cornua nol.

She opens the cottage door, and a solid mass of snow blocks up the opening. The hut is burled, and from the smoko which has been accumulating in the apartment, she fears that! the chimney is be coming choked. In this dilemma, what Is she to do I Low though tlio chimney was, its upper op.enlng was quite beyond her reach, and there seemeo ito chance of escape for tho Inmates, save to let the turf fire go nut entirely, and this while the hut .lay enveloped in snow.

THB IPiPANT>S APPteAfc.* " .-”T A BRIEF BUT TIIRILMNU SKETCH. . In the year 1836, iho inhabitants living Jp g di«- trtct bordering on Rock Rivof, in Iho northern pari of tho Stalo of Illinois, were much Inccnecjl by the d epredations of a band'of horse thieves who infested that portion of country. Every exqrtion bud been made.to discover the men engaged in lilts nefarious business, but.hitherto, in vain, and valuable animals tocro stolon,'and lost to their, owners, in defiance of the utmost vigilance arid c.iro. : . During such b state of affairs, Iho citizens residing I In the region of the thieves, became thoroughly ox. cited, and wore- wound up to such a pilch of indig. natidn, that a body of men were formed, styled Ran. gers, whose explicit duty was to expunge the district of all suspicious -ohatadters, and endeavorto put a stop to llio depredations of the, horse thieves. . Shortly after, this* band commenced operations, word was convcycd fo the loader. uT the Rangers (hat a Valuable horse which had been stolon the night previous? could then bo found oh the promises of a man named Burt, locked up in the stable. Although Barlborothforo had been looked npon 'os- sn honest man and an upright citizen, yet Iho Cjiplain:deomcd it lua duly to ot least examino his farm and learn the truth or fiiUity of the report. . Accordingly ho summoned some half doze'll df tils Rangers (o “meet him at a spot not' fur from Bart's house, apd before morning set out for the same place InmficlK :Daylight wnsji-irdiy discernible in (he east, end thqliozy light bf coming dutvn had trot yet pen- Dtratedlhe bottom,'where the suspicious man resided, as (ho Rangers, charged with'tlio fearful mission of life or death, silently approached,'and surrounded tho dwelling. Leaving three of the band to guard the entrance, (ho Captain proceeded with the'othbrs to the stable, broke open the door, and'found the missing horse, as had been stated,'safely stalled in. side. Not a lingering doubt How ''remained or Burl 1 * guilt, and with a atom determination to make such an example of him os would delcfrolhorß from alike transaction, the Hangers returned'to Iho house... Jo. the door, was seized by . those in wailing, and upon demanding the reason, was informed that a stolen animal was found in his stable, and (hat ho was con sidered a thief. Muttering something about 11 he knew *1 would come to ijjis at lust,'* he quietly’sub. milled to whatever his captors ho-d in store, for him. A short consultation was held, and U was resolved loliang the criminal upon a largo elm tree that grew In front of his'own house; it being deemed that such an aot would strike terror and dismay into the ranks ofhurao thieves. Burl had asked half an hour to prepare for his death, and the sun hud risen in all his golden ma jesty, ero the fatal moment hud arrived which, would launch him into eternity. In vain had Ins grey, headed father and mother pleaded for his life, with trembling longues—the old lady loitering forth from Iho dwelling, and kneeling in suppliant mood to his apparently merciless captors. In vain had the wife of his bosom knelt in tears-of agony, and entreated them as husbands (9 spare his life—fur ouch Hanger had suffered more or less in. person, and they deemed Iho example absolutely necessary to deter.others, and it seemed os though Burl must‘die. The dreadful preparations were completed—the half hour had expired—and the criminal was arrang ed under a limb.of stout elm,over.which a ropo was thrown, one end being noosed around (ho prisoner's neeb, and the other hold by three of the Rangers. Then came a moment of dreadful vilenco; that awful stillness, which preludes 'lho> launching j>f a fellow being into eternity—while the throe.strong men who held tho rope's ond,guzod fixedly upon the .Captain for tho signal. It was given by raising tho right arm} and already the noose was tightening a round tho doomed man's ncok, when tlio wife o( Burl issued forth from the house holding an infant, a littlo morp than a year old, in her arms. Rushing forward, sho fell on her. knees directly In front of the Captain, and raising the child with arms outstretched, towards him, she exclaimed'in tones that would have pierced a heart of stool t «* Ifyou will not save him far thosako oflnsgroy hatred sires, or tho wife of his bosom, spare him, In the name of God, for tho sake of his infant boy I" Another dead silence reigned- like a pall over the ( snot; then, ns though inspired by Heaven, itself, the , child also stretched out Its littlo arms towards Its father, and exclaimed, in a voice hoard by all, tho single word t »* Father I** The muscles of the Captain's face quivered In every I fibre, and the men who hold Iho ropo slowly relaxed I the pressure around tho neok of Burt, when the In* (ant ognln uttered, In distinct tones 1 •• Father 5 father!" And then, ss though dospairlrig of success, huddled Into its mother's bosom, and burst into a sobbing cry'. It was moro than tho Rangers could stand) and 1 after a short consultation, the rnjie was taken from l tho criminal's throat, and tho bapd IcR Iho spot; and - Burt became'si reformed man through tlko powerful 1 effects, of his «* Infant's Armc. 11 Anecdote op Napoleon—Tljo following anecdote woo related lo ub tho other day by a Bavarian: Two boys, from four to five year# ofngp, who lived near the town ofSpeyer, in Davorla, in thb year 1804, when Buonaparte,. with the French army, waa In that kingdom, wero amusing themselves togotl or. when they agreed to - play butcher. Onb waa to lay down and bo butchered, and then the other. *n ®c* cordanco with this arrangement, one of them laid down, when the other deliberately look a knife and cut hia throat In such a manner aa to produce death. The bey who killed the other waa brought before ftapoloon, when ho adopted the following plan to dla* eover whethor tho boy hud done tho deed through 'malice or ignorance. ,110 ordered that a silver dollar and a largo rod apple should bo placed side by aide and that the boy should bo rCquealod to lake which ho pleased. If ho took tho dollar ho woa to ' bo o*o* outod, if tho apple, ho was to bo pardoned. Tho boy, the least hesitation; Blazed[ tho apple, and consequently saved hia life.
