We bad been living in Ireland for about two yenrs, aud every day I regret ted the time more nnd more wben my Lusbaid had decided to lonve England, nnd come over to manage bid property. wbioh van situated in one of tbe most lawless and disaffected counties. Feiiianism wits rife.and benrtilr I wlsb- 'ed we' were away nnd over the water again, at least nntil these tronbled days had given place to better and more peace ful times; and, now that tbe long dark winter afternoons and evenings bad set in again, I used to set and watch anxi ously for my Lu-ibaud's return, when Li onel Would coma in looking moody nnd uueasy, and kept bis revolver always loaded, though be never told mo be sua. pected danger, and tried to make light of it for my sake. Ob! it wag a wretched, miserable time. and l ean never forget it. I remember so well bow the crasb came at last and how tbe volcano burst forth that bad been smouldering so long. We were sitting at break fust one morn ing wben tbe letters were brongbt in, nnd, after banding tbem, tbe bearer of them stood fidgettlug about. Lioual looked tip. fTbat will do, Delany, and tell John to bring tbe dog-cart around in balf-an- hour." "Lionel, I don't like that man," I said, after he bad left tbe room, "I nm sure he is a spy. I wUh you would get rid of him." "Ob, tbe fellow is right enough. It is bis brother, you know, that I am going over to tbe court about to-day." "What is il?" I exclaimed, as Lionel got up suddenly, looked vexed and an noyed, and threw a letter into the fire, "Lionel, is it another of those dreudlul letter.?" "Yes, warning me against giving evi dence agaiust Drlaney to-day. What is tba cnuutry coming to? But there; I ought not to have told you it will fright en you into fits." "Lionel, you must not go to-day In deed, indeed, you must stay at home; tbey may mean what they say, Ob, promise me you won't go." "Nonsense absurdity; Winlfred.don't be so foolish. Why, dear, these are all empty threats. Out once show the white feather and tbey will be ten times worse. You fooliab little wife." be added, tender ly, "and so you worry and fret yourself when I am awny, expecting me borne on a shutter, I suppose. "Well, don't sit up for me to-night, for after the trial is over I am going to dine at Colonel Ar bntbnnt's, and shan't be borne till late. Now I must be off." A few1 more loving words, and then I stood watching him driving down tbe avenue, turning now and then to wave a farewell, I was only half aatisQed.and was wish ing be bad not gone. After lunch I went out take some wine to tbe lodge-keeper's child, who was ill. It was rather late when I started, and the sun waa setting behind tbe monntalc, bedding a flood of crimson light over the glories of tbe fading year. I etajed there till it was quite dark, wben I started borne. Suddenly hearing footsteps, I paused; nearer and nearer tbey came, and tben through tbe darkness I could see two men slowly approaching, talking in low earn est tones. Sick with terror, I drew back behind a large tree, for one of tbe men was Debt ney. At first they spoke in low, cautious tones, but, by degrees, their voices were raited, and at last Delaney, raU.'ng bis hand, exclaimed, with a vehemence that made me shudder: ... .. 1 "I Ull you, if it done at til it out bj done to-night What's the use of talking, man? It's act, not words, we want. He pass tbe cross-roads to-night, coming home from the Colonel's A mile beyond, by tho common and the chalk-pit. It's a lonely tpot--there's our place. Be there wben tbe moon is up, and mind no mis take this time." Aud be laughed, actually laughed, as be planned and plotted the cruel nnd de liberate murder of my husband, wbo hsd been a kind and good master to him. At last. they parted, Delaney hurrying back in the direction of tbe house with a last icjnctinn to bis accomplice not to fall; and, after waiting n long time, to make sure that be was gone, I went Blow ly borne, and reached my own room un observed". There I matured and laid my plans de librrat?ly and carefully, fur it was life if I succeeded, and oh I far worse than death if I failed. Ho I dressed for dinner as usual, and. though every scrap of color bad left my face, and I knew Ibat I conld not subdue all expression of tbe horror that I felt, I preserved an outward calmness, and went on down to tbe dinlng-ronm as though tbe man that stood bebiud my chair had not, only two short hours ago, planned to take my huband's life. How I got' through I know not, but tbe meal was over at last. Still I could do nothing till Delaney bad left tbe bouse and started on hia deadly errand. My plan was this. Wben bo had gone I intended to go down lo tbe stable, get tbe borse, and ride to Colonel Arbuthnot's, trying to reach it before Lionel bad started on bis way home. It was a daring step, but tbe only chance; lonely and isolated, we wer miles from ony town, and no help was possible. I Bhould have to ride bard and, to avoid being discovered and stopped, I must make a long round, which would take me many miles out of my way. At last tbe time to act had arrived. Delaney must have started long ere this, and tbe servants would bo at sup per. The clock was just striking nine as I left the room. Going npbtairs quickly, I put on my Imbit and stepped out. It was a clear," bright night, with tbe pale moon rising over the dark tree-tops-, and shining coldly on tbe glossy green evergreens, casting ghostly, weird shad ows ucross Hie path. I reached the yard aud saw, with alarm, a light in the har ness room. Without toting time to besi tAte or think, I advanced softly.and peep ing in. saw to my great relief that it was only the stable-boy busily engaged rub bing up the harness. Opening tho door. stood before tbe astonished lad, who gnred with wide-open ryts as though I bad been nn apparition. "Christie," I said, "saddle Bifleman as quickly as possible. I want him "Sure ma'am, you're nover going out lo-nighl?" Yes, I am . Quick don't stand talk ing there, but do as I tell you." Burning with impatience, I watched him netting out B fleman, and tben, jut as I whs about to mount, catching sight of the wonder and surprise on Chiislie's face, an idea seized me.and, sending bim back Into tbe stable ou some pretext, I locked tbe door and took the key. No one knew where I was; it would be long before be could make himself beard, no matter bow loudly be called for tbe yard was a long way from the house. In au other minute I was out of tbe gate and canteriug swiftly down tbe avenue and out on tbe open road. "Bifleiran," I said, strokiug his glossy neck, "it rests with you to save your master. You must do your best for tbe li ne is short Away we went, keeping well in the shadow of tbe trees which skirted the road; the soft grass muffled the sound of tbe horses hoofs, and faster, yet faster, I urged Bifleman to his topmost speed, for what if I were already too Uti? The moon was nearly high in tbe heavens, und I knew tbe hour was rapidly ap proaching. It was a ride for life, and on we flew with fearful rapidity. What it Lionel werecn bis way already? Ob, for strength to keep up alitlle longer! The entrance gates at Colonel Arbuth not's stood wide open, aud, with bop in my heart, I galloped up to tbe bouse. The door was opened by tbe Colonel him st If, who hurried out in great alarm. "My husband is he bert?" I gasped. "No, be has jut left not more than ten minules ago, I think; but what has happened?" "Too late, too late!" I cried. "Tbey have killed kirn! Oh, Lionel, Lionrir They tried to stop me but I broke away; there might be time yet, if I rode hard aud fast. My borne might die in tbe attempt what mattered il? It waa lile or death now; and away again, thun dering down tbe avenue I went, heedless of cries and entreatieN to come baok. Stopping one moment to listen. I hearr1, far ahead, the rumbling sound of wheels; it seemed to endow me with new life and strength tn keep up, to struggle a Utile longer; but poor Bifleman was almost done for, Brratbing bard, be still labor ed on, answering whip and rein to the last. Gathering np all my energies for a last effort I urged Rifleman once more to n gallop, and sweeping round a corner.suw, with a wild gleam of joy and hope, my husband's dog-cart slowly ascending a long steep bill, right in front the foot of wbieb on tbe other side was tbe spot where the murderers were in wailing. Every yard of ground was of great value now. I tried to call out, but only a feeble cry escaped my lips; and, still running with a kind of strength and determina tion given despair, I pushed on, till suddenly all grew dim aud indistinct I was conscious only of a great and terri bl.Urkn, rising and biding ray hus. Vtadfrexnmytiibt, ly with outstretched bands I staggered n few steps, and then, with a last wihi wnil of "Lionel Lionel! fell senseUss upon the earth-my last Ibnnght, my last de sire being to save him. Was it all iu vain? When I opened my eywt I found my self iu a cottage, in tbe bright glare of turf fire with n crowd of eager and fright ened sympathisers uroui.il. and Lionel bending, white and anxious, ovtr me. It was ennngh to know that he was sate, tn cling tightly to bim, and feel his strong, protecting arms around me; and, weak, tired and exhausted, I fainted again; It had been a very narrow escape after all.

Csasium had hitherto resisted all efforts to separate it from its combination with oxygen . Accotding to Mr. P. L. Sclater, F. B. S., the term lipotype, whiob is com paratively new to science, is empliyed to indicate animals which we should natur ally expect to xoeet but do not find in certain parts of the earth. For instance, Australian llpotypes are monkeys, vul tures and woodpeckers. Prof. Dttfcur has presented a new and interesting proof that tbe enrtb is round.

An examiner of recruits drafted into the German nrmy states that a lon seri-s of careful measurements bave established not only that the height of a mau varies very considerably at different times of the day, but also that this variation oc curs with a great regularity in every iu dividual.
