In this way she sent him pens, inknnd paper, lie then,by the some ingenious expedient, sent love-lcttcra to her. Thus the separated husband and wife w'ere enabled to correspond, to cheer each oth er s hopes, and sustain each other in their mis fortunes. This was all donent night time, when the scrutinizing eyes of the sentinels remained in happy ignorance of the medium of cdinmu nica,tion. Success having inspired courage,the lady the assistance of the arrow and thread, afterward conveyed a file to the captive with which he silently filed through one of the bars of his prison, Jmd then reslord It to its place. On the next-evening when there was np moonlight, a stout-cord was fastened to the thread and transmitted to tho prisoner. The rope was firmly fastened on the one end to the bars, of the cell; then' summon!,ig up all his courage, the prisoner glided along the rope, a bove the head of tho sentinels: he crossed the street, and found himself in the arms of his wife and beside the cradle of his child. Such aa adventure required, the hcroc’s courage and ; tho philosopher's caution, and none but thoso , who were personally interested in it can ever . imagine tho feelings which must have agitated i theif - hearts. From lime to lime, when the night was dark, tho knotted cord would glide i from window to window, and the prisoner pass i from knot to knot and enjoy delightful hours . of converse with her whom he loved best on . earth. 1 Journeyman Printers.
