" With patient scrutiny I en deavord to ascertain the nature of the fast enings which secured tho door. The plants fortunately having been nailed together fresh, had shrunk considerably, so as to leave wide cbipka between each and its neighbor. ,By means of these apertures, I sf/ty that my durigedti was secured, pot by a lock Bs 1 bad /eared, but by a strong wpodhn’bkr, running horizontally across the door|,about thidwoy upon the outside. [Contriving to make an opening, ho roaches the doors of the apartment in which he had been seized, and overhears an ord- er given by Oliver forhisexecution, which ho declared should take place in the eve- ning ero the moon arose j Inhere was a kind of glee in Oliver’s manner and expression whiph chilled my very heart. “He shall be first shot like a dogj Ob.d 'hen hanged like a dog—shot to night, and hung to-morrow —hung at tho bridgc-fiead—hung until his bones drop asunqpr 1” It is'impossible to describe the exultation with whjch he seemed to dwell upon, and to particularise, the fato which he intended for me. A chill, sick iiorror crept over me as they retired, and 1 felt, for the momont, upon the brink of swooning. This feeling, however, speed ly gave place to a sensation s,lid more ter riblo —a state of excitement, so intense and tremendous as to border upon literal madness, supervened; my brain reeled and throbbed apif it would burst; thoughts, the wildest and the most hideous, /lashed through my mind w»*k 0 spontaneous . ra pidity ihatscared my very soul; while,all tho time, I felt a strange and frightful im pulse to burst into uncontrolled laughter. Gradually this fearful paroxysm passed a way. 1 kneeled and prayed fervently, and felt comforted and assured ; hut still I could not: view the alow approaches to certain death without an agitation, little short of agony. . 'I returned again to the closet in which I hnd.foundimyself upon recovering from ihe swoon. The,evening sunshine and twilight, was fast molting Into darkness, when I heard the oqtcr door, that which cqramunicnted wiih ihe guard-ropra ip which the officers fiad been ntnusifig themselves, opened and locked again, upon the iqside. A measur ed step then approached, ant} the door of the wretched cell in which t lay being rudely pushed open, a soldjer entered, who cpfried something in his hand, but, owing to the obscurity of the place,’ f could not see what. “Art thou awoke fellow?” said ho, in a gruff voice. "Stir thyself—get upon thy legs. His orders were enforced by no very geutio r application of his military boot. “Friend," said I, rising with difficulty, “you need apt jpsult a dying man. You haye been sent hither to conduct me to death. Lead op!

Iff, 1853- I cannot soy whether I resolved right 1 or wrong, but 1 thought my situation, and : j the conduct of Captain Oliver, warranted me in acceding to tho conditions pro pounded by my visitant, and with alacrity I told him so, and desired him to givo me the power, as he lmd promised to do, of executing them. With speod and,promp titude he drew a small key from hip pock et, and in an instant the maniclos were re moved from my hands. How my heart bounded within mo as my wrists were re leased from tlidiron gripe of the shackles ! tho first step towaiids freedom was mado —myself reliance returned, and I felt as sured of success. “Now for the weapon,” said I. . “I fear me you will find it rnlherclum sy,” said he, “but if well handled, it will do ns well as the best Toledo: it is the on- ly thing I could get, but I sharpened if myself. It has nil edge like d skean.” ’ He plated in my hand the steel head of n halberd, and with d low savage laugh left me to my reflections. Having exam ined and arranged the weapon, I carefully bound the ends of the cravnt, with which had secured the cross-part of tho spear head, firmly ropnd my wrist, so that iri case of a struggle it might not ensily be foredd from my hand ; and having made these precautionary dispositions, I sat dbwn upon the ground with my back against the wall and my hands together, under my coat, awaiting my visitor. The time wore slowly on. The dusk became dimmer and dimmer, until >t nnnvty bord ered oti total darkness! “How’s (his ! said [ inwardly. “Captain Oliver, you Said 1 Should not Beo the moon rise to- night r'Vnethinks you are somewhat tardy in fulfilling your prophecy.” Aelmade this re flection ,'n noise at the outer doo# announced ' the entrance; of a visitant. 1 knew that the decisive mom- enl had tonno, and letting my head sink upon my breast, and assuring myself that my hands were concealed, 1 awaited, in the altitude of deep dejection, the approach of piy foe and betrayer. As 1 had ex pected, Captain Oliver entered the room where l lay. He was equipped for instant duty, os far as the imperfect twilight would allow m® to see; the long sword clanked uppn the floor, as he made his way through the lobbies which |ed to my place pf,confinement; his ample military cloak hung; upon, bis arpii;: his cocked hat was uppp his head, and in all points he was prepared for tho yoad., This tallied exact ly with what my strange informant had told me. I felt my heart swell and my breath came thick, as the awful moment which was to witness the death struggle of one or other of us approached. Captain Oliver stood within a yard or two of the place where I sat, or rather lay, and fold ing his arms, he remained silent for a min ute or two, as if arranging in his mind how he.shquld address me. “Hardress Fitzgerald,” ho began at lenght, “are you awake 1 Stand up, if you desire to here of matters nearly touching your life- Get up, I. say.” I arose, doggedly, and aflbcling the awkward oioyeoiettt of one of those whose hands were bound. . . “Well,” said l,“what would you of me?

I bad hot [any time, however, to spare for reflection; I tho deed was done—rfhe responsibility was upon me, and all wan registered in the [book of that God who judges rightly. ! With eager haste I removed from tho body such of the military accoutrements a 9 were necoasary for tho purpose of my disguise.

Never was spur more need ed, however, for soon the clatter of horses I hoofs, in full Bpeed crossing the bridge, came sharp and clear through the stillness l of tho night.

My first impulse was to stop and share whatever fnto might !await my comrade; but my second, and 1 wiser one was to spur on, and save myself • and dospatch.

The third son was a dork-eyed, , massive btowed, hopoful boy of four sum- , mers. Ho waso romping,and yet o thought ful child; there was a light in his largo eye that showed an earnest promise of future capacity for usefulness, or an early flight to the world beyond the tomb, Wo ploy ed with him ond wondered at him; as he romped with us ho taught ,us to admiroond love him; he showed us, nlj unconscious, what a boy could be. One day wo Bid him “good-bye.’’ Many o time ond oft, did wo think of that boy. Days run to, weeks—weeks glide into months —years roll away. ‘A rumor of death’ comes on the evening breeze. The pitcher is broken at the fountain. The silvor cord that bound thnt family in one is harshly severed, and the clods of the valley have fallen cold and heavy upon the coffin tit at cases the remains of one of those little ones. Scarcely less heavy and cold does that sound strike upon the living beating hen rtsofthoso who crowded around that “slight abode.” And is it the boy we so fundly loved that now lies under thocluy ?

A TnniLUNO spswß—eA pbunkahp’ 3 i LIFE bayed.—rA fi»w days since (says | the Philadelphia lodger) as the express train ( for Baltimore whs passing the vicinity of , Naaman’B creek; at the rate of forty miles an hour, a horrifying sight was witnessed by those having charge of the train.' A man, apparently a "'fisherman, inhabiting one of the shatlties close by, was laboring under mania polu, had thrown Himself on tho rails for the pnrposoof self-destruction, but two females having drawn him off, were engaged in a dreadful strugglo to pre vent his again throwing himself before the train: One had a deadly grip of his legs while the other was kneeling upon his breast, as the iron horse went thundering by; just grazing her clothing ; indeed; so dose was she, that her own escape from in stant death was most imminent. The whole scene occupied blit an instant, and scarce ly any of the passengers were aware of the calamity that had been impending. Those who witnessed it were horror-struck know ing the impossibility to prevent the destruc tion of nil tliree, if the maniac succededin struggling only a few inches hearer the rail. What a self sacrificing love Washers manifested, inducing two women to risk their'lives in saving one who had perhaps for years been 4 constant source of misery from his insatiate love of the bottle. If the poor inebriate could have this scene properly depicted, so as to make a lasting impression upon his mind, he would un doubtedly forsake his evil habits.
