In a pretty village near Paris, but a considerable distance from the high . road, was Baron R. accustomed to spend the summer. . His mansion built on an eminence, was a spaciotis, building, both within and without, and exhibitedia good style of archi tecture ; and it was about two hen- dred paces from the village. ' Business obliged the Baron to take a journey of 41 few days. His wife, but twenty years of age, and very beautiful, remained at home. He took with him tsvO of his , servants, and two others remained with the Baroness. No violation of the public security bad ever been heard of in. that part of the country, and as the Baroness did not belong to the timid portion of her sex,ithe idea of danger .was far from entering her mind. iThe evening after the Baron's departure, as she was stepping into bed, she heard an alarming noise in an apart. ment near her chamber. She called 'out! but received no answer I She was at a loss to 'conceive what was the matter, and: hastily putting on her garments, limit tt the door to die covet he cause. A horrible spectai cle preented itself. Her two ser; vants, halfnaked, were extendedlife less on the r. The room was full of strange l oping men ; The Baro ness' chambermaid was kneeling be fore one of ihern,\and instead of the mercy she implerekshe received the fatal stroke. No'souir did the door open than two barbarieuswith drawn swords, rushed towerdsit. ' What woman or even man jwould\ of have been struck with the utmost rror, and given up life and everytht g es lost 7 Aloud shriek of despair,a fl4ch• all few paces would probably bay: been the resort of many. The Baro- ness, however, conducted herself in a different meatier. " And you have come at last V" ex claimed she, in a tone of apparent heartfelt joy, and advancing towards her assailants with a haste that high ly astonished them,they lowered their uplifted weapons. , ' And you have come at last l" re peated she, "such•visitors as I have often wished to see " Wished .1" muttered one of. the assassins, "what do you mean •by that ? But stay—l'll—" He had already raised his cutlass, but a comrade averted the stroke.— " Stay a moment brother," eyid he, "and let us bear what she - would. have." " Nothing but what is pleasure, brave comrades. You are men after my own heart., and neither you nor I shall ever have reason to repent it if you will, listen to whatl have to say." " Speak 1 speak 1" cried the whple company. " But be quick I" cried one of the fiercest, "for we-ehall-not make much ceremony." " Nevertheless I hope yob will ; "grant me a hearing; for, although 1 am the wife of the richest gentleman in the country,.the wife of the mean est beggar cannot be more unhappy than I am. My husband is obe of,the moat jealous and niggardly felkiirs On earth. I hate him, snail, has long been-the fervent wish of my heart , to , get clear of his clutches, and at the .same time pay off old scores. loy servants were spies and that fellow wheat biusiness you . have done ao completely, was the worst of all.: - I am scareely•twentronei ant-1 flatter myself far frwaheing ugly. • 11 lay 'Of you choose to take me along with ' you, I'll: accompany you to the woods or the village ale-houie ; norahall any of you ever have cause to repent haying spared uIY , life.

Itkik here, and you - will be convinced to the contra ry." She pointed to a secret spring in the Baron's desk. They pressed tip: on it, and out , fell five bags of gold coin. „ " , Zottbfis I " cried the leader of the robbers, ' " and I will keep you for this dutchess 1". " And perhaps better , still," she said, laughing, " when I show you one thing more. I am well aware that you must have spies who inform ed you of the fifty thousand francs he received yesterday."\ " Where are they ?" "Oh ? safe enough, under lialf dozen locks and bolts. You .would certainly not have hued teem and the iron chest had it not been for me, Come along comrades ; we have fin-. imbed above stairs, now we will see what can be done underneath. Come along : with me; I say,into the celltir." The robbers followed, but not without Precaution. At the entrance of the cellar,secured by a . strong trap door, a man was posted as Sentinel. ,The Baroness took not the slightest notice of thiii. She conducted the whole troop to a vault, at, the further •end of, the cellar. She unlocked it, and in the corner of the recess stood the chest she had described. "Here," said she, 'giving the cap tain the bunch of keys, " unlock it, and take what you find as a wedding *A if you,can obtain the consent , of your comrades as readily as you gained mine." The, robber tried one key after atiother,but none would fit. He grew impatient \ and the Baroness seemed; Bull more* , " Lend me em," she 'said, "I shall find the way itover. Indeed, if you do not make haste, the u.orning may, overtake us. Ha l\the reason - wb • neither of us ,could \ Klock it is be cause I have the wrong 00E10 of keys. I will obtain another." ' She went , up stairs, anifpresently they. hear her coming down t\but she came slowly, as if out of breath, with the haste She had made. " I've found them I" cried she, at a distance. Then,coming up to with in about three paces of the man who stood at the entrance of the cellar, she sprang 'suddenly at the wretch, who was totally unprepared for such a move, from such 1 1 a quarter, and , pushing him,with all her might, sent him tumbling to, the bottom of the stairs. This accomplished, she clos ed the trap door, bolted it, and thus had the whole company secured 'in the cellar. This was the work of a single Moment. In the next she flew across • the • court yard, and with caridle in her , hand , set 'Ms to a 4:10.i _tubed. pig sty. The watchman, in the neighboring village, perceiving the flames, instantly gave the alarm. In few minutes 'the inhabitants were outof their beds; and a crowd of farmer's, with- their servants, has tened to the mansion. The Baroness .ivaited for them in the court yard. "A-few of you , will_ be stificietit`to .put,out this fire and prevent it from spreading. The remainder. of .you ,will provide yourselves With ,arms, 'which you will find in abundance in my busbond'a armory. Post your selves at the avenues of the cellar, and'sniferloot one of the robbers-to escape."

Tas PROPERTIES OF TEA.—The phy siological properties of tea are simi lar to those of cull' - •e ; it is slightly as•ringent and tonic, and when 'used without milk or sugar_ is a simple remedial isgent in nausea and indi gestion ; but if sugar is added it is converted into a thin syrup, which is more apt to produce indigestion than the consumption of many times its weight of pure candy, since sugar i more digestible in the concentrated than in the dilute-state. It is a mild winsulant to the skin and kidneys, it , prevents sleepiness, counteracts ihe effects of alcohol, and reduces tho rate of waste of the listines,ao action supposed to be due to the theine, or peculiar principle of the plant,, the quantity of which is variously esti mated from one half of one to four per cent., and which closely resem bles caffline,-,or the principle of cof fee. It is also an aphrodisiac of con siderable power, and the- rapid in crease of the population in China is, by some, supposed to be due to its universal use by all classes. le addi tion to its other properties, the Chi: nese regard it as a preventative of gout and calculus. It no doubt has the power of preventing the latter ; but this nction is probably due to the fact that, if water is boiled,the great er part of the carbonate of lime it contains, and which would enter into the composition of a calculus, is pre cipitated ; theiefore the drinking , of boiled water would be equally 'effec rive in influencing the prevalence of this disease. It is also narcotic and sedative, like opium ; but like it, its action varies with the individual and' the dose. To some, it is exhilarating to the nervous and calming to the vascular system. In the words of Waller, The Muse's friend, tea, does our fancy aid Repress those vapors which the head invade. To others, on the contrary, it is high ly deleterious, producing headache, and sometimes evericausiog paralys• is and diabetes, especially when used to excess as in tea tasters. The time of day at which tea is ta ken in different countries varies witii the custom of each nation, as does most every other human habit. The Chinese drink it atall times, and keep the : pot on the fire so that they "may moisten their lips" after the the fashion of, Sairy (damp ; others consider it almost sacrilege to ,take it at any other than in the evening and at tea; while may , say with Gay. • At noon (the lady's matia hour) I sip tea's delicious flower. • At whatever. time it may be used there is no doubt that it acts' much more energetically if taken on. an empty stomach without any other food.—Da.

The history of that elegant art begins with a homely domestic scene, which occurred at Munich about the year 1793 e and in which three -characters figured,--Madame Senefelder, the poor widow of an ex cellent iactor,then recently deceased- ; her son; Alois Senefelder, aged twen ty-two, a young man of an inventive turn ; and the impatient washerwom `an jest mentioned. l'he washerwom an had called at the home of this widow for the weekly "wash" ; but the "list" was not ready, and the widow asked her son to take it. He looked about the room for a piece of paper upon which to write it, without being able to find the least fragment, and he noticed also that his ink was dry. Washerwomen are not apt to buoverawed by such customers, and this\ona certainly did not conceal her impatiekce while the fruitless search was proceeding. The young man bad in the apartment a smooth, soft, cream-colored stone, such as litho graphers now use. He had also a mass of paste\ made of lampblack. was, soap, and water. In the hurry of the moment, he dashed upon the soft, smooth stone the short list of garments, using for the purpose this awkward lump of oily paste.

West era New York. 'The story , ran thus ":- "On a Sunday morning in August, Dr. Ooze, rising to the sermon with out warning or prefix, begin, "It is d—d hot." Looking around' in a calm and pions way, he wiped his foreVad, and again said, "'lt is d-41 hot.", Waiting till he thought the words had burnt in, he proceeded, These words, my brethren, I heard from the lips of a profane young man as I entered the doors of the church." Thereupon, the story goes, he 'proceeded to give an edifying dis course on the sin and folly of pro- fane swearing. When I first heard of it, I recog nised the story. It was an old ac quaintance. It had been doingeor wice in; England. It was told of Bev. Rowland HiO , only in his case the topic was not, the weather but the theatre, on which the young man's profanity was expended.

And the narration of the incident brings me back to the question whether one can remember what never• happened. It will be seen that he can. ' Sitting at .a friend's -,table, one evening, I was telling an incident that befel me--in this wise : " A young man from Buffalo call ed to see me to day. He said that he had heard a young lady in a large company, relating the story df my beginning a sermon with the phrase 'lt is d--d hot.' He at once contra- : dieted it. She affirmed it positively! He replied : ' I have lately read a published denial of the story from Mr. Beecher himself.' She answer ed : ' Why, I was present myself at his church and heard it with my fain ears.' Of course he could not - say what he thought, bat replied, ' I am going to New York, and I will my self call and ask Mr. Bfticher!" The case seemed so flagrant that I said to him : "When you go back, I wish you would take occasion, before witness, to say . to this lady, from me, ' that she lies, and that she knows that she lies, and that she knows_ that 1 know that she lies'" This was very improper language, but I was angry, and, besides, bad been reading the Tribune. When I had get thus 'far a sweet young girl whfil sat opposite in , ; brought up tinier my eye almost from the cradle, and- as incapable of knowingly telling a falsehood as a rosebud would be of corunftting burglary, this innocent and charming child 14 fifteen looked over at me and said': " Butyou did say so, did'ut you, Mr. Beecher? I heard you I" For a moment' there was silence. Then came a crash of laughter from the whole company Confused and blushing scarlet; she said : " Why, I always thought that had heard you say it I" For the first time I then believed that a person might distinctly 're member what never took place. I take back the message to the Buffalo lady, and humbly apologize for sup posing that one could not recall a thing which never happened. KELP WARM AND S&vs YOUR LIN'S.— At this season many deaths take place which might be prevented by warmer clothing. Many a case of dysentery is caused by the want of a woolen undershirt, or of an , extra blanket at night The sudden chang• es of temperature - which occur at this period of the year are very try ing to the constitution. People with weak lungs quickly feel the effect of them. Frequently the thermometer falls• many .degrees within - a few hours. Not only the-feeble, but ro bust and strong persons suffer from snob great variations of temperature. When the weather grows cold rapid. ly, the pores of the skin are sudden ly closed, and the, result frequently is a bad cold, which may hold on.all winter and terminate in consumption, or a fatal yattack of dysentery, or ' that dreadful disease, • the typhoid fever. If the day seems ever so . _ warm and bright, it is much safer to - wear plenty of underclothing at this.veas on. In the evenings the dews fall, and it grows chilly very suddenly.

We were praying- the drama of "Wil liam Tell, the Hero of Switv.rlaud." Of, course I was William. Tell, in spite of 'Fred Langdon, who wanted to act that character 'himself. I wonld'nt let him, so he withdrew from the company, taking- the only bow and arrow we had.

Tu guard against mischance-, a piece of pasteboard was fastened by a hand kerchief over the upper portion of Whitcomb's face, while the arrow to be used was sewed np in a strip of flannel; I was a capital marksman, and the big apple, only _two yards distant,,tatfned its russet cheek fair ly towards me. I can see-poor little Pepper now, as he stood without Enehing, wait ing fol. me to perform my great feat.

Whereupon the audi ence. (assisted, I am glad to state, by Pepper) - cried " Hear I Hear !"
