ON GRUMBLING.
This world has its roses and thorns,
Made up of both pleasure and sorrow,
And often the saddest to-day
Is found to be joyful to-morrow ;
Bo varied the changes we see
While twenty-fonr hours are gliding,
That wiser that mortals will be,
Prepared for whatever betiding.
Then halt not, though rough be the ground—
They fall who are fearful of stumbling ;
As hard as your lot may be found,
Did you ever know good come by grumbling?
The man who cloth rise with the lark,
And seeks, like the bee, for the honey,
Finds something turn up before dark
That brings to the pocket the money.
The soil must be tilled for the grain,
The net must be cast for the fishes,
And only by striving, 'tis plain,
Will fortune fell in with our wishes.
Then halt not, though rough be the ground—
They fall who are fearful of stumbling;
And hard as your lot may be found,
Did you ever know good come by grumbling?
Don't always depend on your friends,
Who By at the tidings of sorrow,
But rather your puree touch with care,
And see that it yields for the morrow ;
In fact, be a friend to yourself,
And thus by self-etibrt succeeding,
You soon unto others can say,
"Many thanks, but your aid I'm not need
ing."
Then halt not, though rough be the ground—
They fall who are fearful of stumbling ;
And hard as your lot may be found,
Did you ever know geed come by grumbling?

THE BARONESS AND ROBBERS.
In a pretty village near Paris, but a
considerable distance from the high road,
was Baron lt. accustomed to spend the
summer. his mansion, built on an emi
nence, was a spacious building, both
within and without, and exhibited a good
style .of architecture; and it was about 200
paces from the village.
Business obliged the Baron to take a
journey of a few days. His wife, but
twenty years of age, and very beautiful,
remained at home. He took with him
his servants, and two others remained
with the baroness. No violation of the
'public security had ever been heard of
in that part of the country, and as the
baroness did not belong to the timid por
tion of her sex, the idea of danger was far
from entering her mind. The evening
after the baron's departure, as she was
stepping into bed, she heard an alarming
noise in an apartment near her chamber.
She called out, but received no answer.
The Lonfusion increased every moment.
She was at a loss to conceive what was
the matter, and hastily putting on her
garments, went to the door to discover
the cause. A horrible spectacle presented
itself. Her two servants, half-naked,
were stretched lifeless on the floor. The
room was full of strange-looking men; the
baroness' chambermaid was kneeling be
fore one of them, and instead of the mercy
she implored, she received the fatal stroke.
No sooner did the door open than two
barbarians, with drawn swords, rushed
toward it. What woman, or• even man,
would not have been struck with the ut
most terror and given up life and every
thing else as lost? A loud shriek of de
spair, a flight of a few paces, would
probably have been the resort of many.
The baroness, however, conducted herself
in a different manner. •
"And you have come at last, ,, exclaim
ed she, in a tone of apparently heartfelt
joy; and advancing toward her assailants
with a histe that highly astonished them,
they lowered their uplifted weapons.
"And you have come at last," repeated
she; "such visitors as you I have often
wished to sec.',
18M.
"Wished," muttered one of the assas
sins, "what do you mean by that? But
He had already raised hin cutlass, but
a comrade averted the stroke. "Stay a
moment, brother," said he, "and let us
hear what she would have."
"Nothing but what is your pleasure,
bravo comrades. You are men after my
own heart, and neither you nor I shall
ever have reason to repent it, if you will
listen for two minutes to what I have to
say."
"Speak ! speak !" cried the whole corn
pa,ny.
`But be quick," added one of the fier
cest, "for we shall not make much cere
mony."
"Nevertheless, I hope you will grant
me a hearing; for although I am the wife
of the richest gentleman in the country,
the wife of the meanest beggar cannot be
more unhappy than I am. My husband
is one of the most jealous and niggardly
fellows on earth. hate him, and it has
long been the fervent wish of my heart to
get clear of his ditches and at the same
time pay off old scores. All my servants
were sines; and that fellow whose business
you have done so completely, was the
worst of all. lam scarce twenty-one, and
I flatter myself far from being ugly. If
any of you choose to take me along with
you, vri accompany you to the woods or
the village ale house. Nor shall any of
you repent having spared my life. You
are in a well stored mansion; but it is im
possible that you to acquainted with all
its secret corners. These I will qow show
you, anti if I don't make you richer by six
thousand dollars, then serve me as you did
my chambermaid."
Robbers of this kind arc certainly vil
liens, but nevertheless they are still men.
The wholly unexpected tenderness of the
baroness, added to the more than ordinary
beauty of the female, altogether produced
a powerful effect on these men, whose
fad%
hands were yet reeking with blood. They
then all stepped aside, and consulted to
gether in low tones for some minutes.
The baroness was left quite alone, but she
betrayed not the least wih to escape.
"Let's dispatch her,And the game will
b 3 all up." She, however, scarcely chang
ed color, for the opposition of the others
did not escape her acute ear.
Ono, who was probably captain of the
banditti, now approached he Ile asked
twice or thrice whether he might rely on
what she said—whether she actually
wished to be released from the tyranny of
her husband, to go with them—and wheth
er she was willing to resign herself to one
of them, to himself for instance, during
the peaceful days they could obtain. Hav
ing replied in the affirmative to all these
questions—having not only suffered the
warm embrace of the robber, but returned
it—for what will not necessity excuse ?
he at length said :
" Come along, then, and lead us around.
The d-1 trust your ladies of rank, but we
will venture for once. But let me tell you,
if you were twice as handsome as you are,
this weapon should cleave your skull the
moment I saw the least disposition to be
tray us ?"
" Then it will be safe enough : and if
this were the only condition of my being
put to death, I should outlive you all, and
even the wandering Jew himself."
The baroness smiled when she pro
nounced these words, and hastily caught
the nearest lamp as if she were as eager
as any of them to collect the plunder and
be gone. She conducted the company
through every apartment, opened every
door, every drawer, and every chest, as
sisted in picking up the valuables, looking
with the utmost indifference at the man
gled bodies ; speaking with the familiari
ty of au old acquaintance to each one of
the horrid troup, and assisting with her
delicate hands in the most laborious occu
pation.
Plate, money, jewels, were collected to
gether, and the captain of the banditti was
about giving the order for marching, when
his destined bride caught him by the arm,
" Did I not tell you," said she, " that you
should not repent making a friend of me
and sparing my life ? You may, indeed,
have everything in places you had open ;
but it is a pity that you cannot come at
places coucepled. What you suppose
hat aniong: cdtllt3 ` there are no
secret places ? Look here, and then you
will be convinced to the contrary."
She pointed to a settret spEpag in the
baron's desk. They pressedbpi - it it and
out fell live bags of gold coin.
" Zounds !" cried the leader of the rob
bers;" now I s;te you are an in oniparable
woman, and I will keep you for this as a
dutehess
"And perhaps, better still," said she,
laughing, " when I show you one thing
more. Imu well aware that you must
have spies who in ed you of the ab
sence of my tyre tut they di of tell
you of the fifty t .and francsaWreceiv
ed yesterday."
Where are they ?"
" 0, safe enough under halt a dozen of
locks and bolts. You would certainly not
have found them and the iron chest had
it not been for me. Come along, com
rades ; we have finished above stairs, now
we will see what can be done underneath.
Come along with me, I say, into the cel
lar."
The robbers followed but not without
precaution. At the entrance of the teller,
secured by a strong trap door, a man was
posted as a sentinel. She conducted the
whole troop to a vault at the farther end
of the cellar. She unlocked it, and in the
corner of this recess stood the cheat she
had described. •• Here," said, she giving
the captain a bunch of keys, " unlock it
and take out what you find as a wedding
gift, if you can gain the consent of your
comrades as readily as you obtained
mine."
The robber tried one key after another
none would fit. lie grew impatient, and
the baroness seemed still more so.
"frond me them," said she, "I will find
the way sooner. Indeed, if you do not
make haste i the morning may overtake us.
Ha I the reason why neither of us could
unlock it, is bemuse I have the wrong
bunch of keys, I will obtain another."
She went up stairs, and presently they
heard her coming down, but she came
slowly, as if out of breath with the haste
she had made.
"I've found them," cried she at a dis
tance. Then coming up to within about
three paces of the man at the entrance of
the cellar, she sprang suddenly at the
wretch, who was totally unprepared for
such a move from such a quarter, and
pushing him with all her might, sent him
tumbling to the bottom of the stairs. This
accomplished, she closed the trap door,
bolted it, and thus had the whole com
pany secured in the cellar. This was the
work of a single moment. In the next
she flew across the court yard, and with a
candle in her hand set fire to a detached
pig sty. The watchmen in the neighbor
ing village, rwrviving the flames, instant
ly gave the alarm. In a few minutes the
inhabitants were out of their beds, and a
crowd of farmers, with their servants, has
tened to the mansion. The baroness
waited for them at the gate of the court
yard.
" A few of you," said she, "will be
sufficient to put out this fire and to pre
vent it from spreading ; but now provide
yourselves with arms, which you will find
to abundance in my husband's armory.
Post yourselv( s at the avenues of the
cellar, and suffer not one of the robbers
and murderers to escape."
Tier directions were obeyed, and not
one of them escaped the punishment due
to his crimes.
