V (Hljrillmg Skctcl). THE INTREPID MOTHER. A THrtlLLINQ SKETCH. The dilligencr from Paris to Chalons slopped one evening, just alter dark, some miles beyond the little town of Rouvray, to set an English lady and her child at a lonely roadside Auberve. Mrs Martin ex pected to find a carriage ready to take her la Chateau d Senart, a distance of some leagues, whither she was repairing on a visit; hut was told it had not arrived. The landlady, a tall, coarse lookin; woman, who showed her into the vast hall that served at once as a silling room ai:d kitch en, observed that the roads were so muddy and diflicnlt at night, there was little chance of her friend arriving before mot ning. "Ton had belter, therefore," said she, "mnke up your mind to sleep here. We have a good room to off.-r you, and you will be much more comfortable between a pair of clean warm sheets, than knocking about in our rotijh country, especially as your dear child seems sickly." Mrs. Marlin, though much fatigued by her journey, hesitated. A good night's rest was certainly a tempting prospect, but she felt so rtmlident that her friends would not neglect her, that alter a moment she replied : "thank you, madame, I will sit up for an hour or so, it is not late, and the carriage may come, after all. Shnuld it not, 1 shall be glad of your room, which you may prepare lor me at any rate." The liostes., who seemed nminns her guest should not remain in the great room, suggested that a fire tni;;ht he made above; but Mrs. M. toiind herself sn roiiifortabl y where she was - a pile of loirgels wm hla ziiii: nn the he.irth that -he declined at at first to move. Her dauo lit . r, nlmtjl five vars til aj-, soon went tnsVep in her lap; and khe herself found that while hr ear were atixioin.1 v listening for the r.dl t f c ar riasje wheels, her ry-s ofrainallv closed ami slumber began to make its insidious a -proai h'-s. ' ' ' In order to prevent hers-lf from giinr awav, she endeavored to direct her atten tion to the o'lj.'ils around hT. The apart ment was tasl and lighted more by the glare ol the fire than by the dirty candle stick stuck into a filthy tin randlertick, that stood on one ol the long tables. Two or three htijie beams s'relrheil across half way up the walls, leaving a space filled with flitrhtiiiii shadows above. Frointtu'se depended a Mty gun or two, a sword, sev eral bags, hanks ol onion., conking uten sils, &c. There were very few sians that the house was much visited, though a pile of old wine bottles law in one. corner. The landlady sat at sjme distance from the fire-place with her two sons, who laid their heads together and talked in whis pers. Mrs. Martin hpgan to feel uneasy. The idea entered her mind that she had fallen in'o a resort of robbers; and the word 'Cesie tile," (it is she.) which was all she heard of the wnispered conversation, con tributed to her alarm. The door leading into the road was lelt ajar; and for a mo ment she felt an inclination to start up and escape on foot. But she was far from any other hahilation, and if the people of the house entertained any evil designs her at tempt would only precipitate the catastro phe. So she resolved on patience, but lis tened attentively for the approach of her friends. All she heard was the whistling of the wind, and the dashing of the rain which had begun to fall just after her ar rival. About two hours passed in this uncom fortable way. At length the door was thrown open and a man dripping wet came in. She breathed more freely; lor this new comer might frustrate the evil designs of her hostess, if she entertained any. He was a red haired, jovial fared looking man, and inspired her with confidence by the frankness and ease of his manners. 'A fine night for walking !" cried he, shaking himself like a dog who has scram bled ont nf a pond. . "What bare yon to give met Salute, measieure, et snesHamos, I am wet to the skin. Hope I disturb no body. Give me a bottle of wine V The hostess, in a surly, sleepy tone, (old her elder son to a-rve the gentleman ; and then addressing Mrs. Martin, said : "You see vour friendi will not came, and yon are keeping us up to no purpose You had better 50 to bed." 'I will wait little' longer," w the reply ; which elicited t kind of a shruj of contempt. The red haired man finished hia bottle of wlae, and thea said: 3ow ma tnm,go(ij wjirmnl !ull a'eep ht-re to-mihl." : Mrs. Martin thought ai he pronounced these words, he cast a pxitecim vlanc tnwardi her, anil she felt fS ipnt, afire at the idea of passing the niht in that house,' When, Hi. re. ore, the red haired man, aPer a polite bow, went up siairs, she aid, that ai her friends ' had not arrived, they might as Well show her to her bed room. ? "I thought it would come to lhat at last," said the landlady, "Pierre, take the lady's trunk up staiis." ? In a lew minutes, Mrs. Marlin found herself alone in a spacious room, with a large fiie burning on the hearth. Her first care, afler putting the child to bed, was to examine the door. It closed only bv a latch. There was no bolt inside. She looked around for something to barricade it with, and perceived a heavy chest of drawers. Fear gave strength. She half lifted, half pushed it against the door. Not content wilh this, she seized a table to in crease the slrengih of her defence. The leg was broken, and when she touched it, it fell wilh a crash to the floor. A long echo went sounding through the house, and she felt her heart sink within her. But the echo died away and no one came; so she piled the Iragments of the table upon the chest of drawers. Tolerably satisfied in this direction, she proceeded to examine the walls. They were all papered, and after examination, seemed to contain no secret door. Mis. Martin now sank down into a chair to think on her position. As was natural alter having all these precautions, the idea suggested itself lhat it might be superfluous, and she smiled at the thought of what her friends would say when se related to them the terrors al the night. Her chi d was sleeping tranquilly, its rosy cheeks half buried in the pillow. The firp had blazed up into a bright flame while the unsnufled candle burned dimly. The room was full of pale, trembling shadows, but she had no superstitious fears. Somelhing positive could alone raise alarm. She listened at tentively, but could hear nothing but the howling ofthe wind over the roof, and the pattering of the rain against the w indow panes. As her excitement diminished, the fatigue which had been forgotten began again to make itself felt, and she rts ilved to undress and go to bed. Her heart leaped into her throat. For a moment she seemed perfectly paralyzed. She had undressed and put out the candle, when she accident ly dropped her watch. Stooping to pick it up, her eves voluntarily glanced towaid the bed. A great mass tit red hair, a hand and a gleaming kuile were revealed by the li-rht of the fire. After the first moment of terrible alarm, Ii. f presence ol mind returned. She lelt that she had herself cut off all means of escape by the door, and was entirely left to In 1 own resources. Without uttering' a i rv, but trembling in every limb, the poor wo man got into lied by the side of her child. An idea a plan lud augested iu-lf. It had Hashed ihrouji her brain like lijit uiug. It was the only chance Lit. The bed was so ilipued that the 10!. her could g. I from benralb it by a narrow Hp. 1 ture at the hea l will. out it aking a mus. ; and it was probaiile that he would C lift1 ise. Irnin prudence, ibis means ef . xit. Tin re was no curtain in the way, o Mis. Mai 1 in. wuh terrible decision and noiseless energv, inade a running noose wilh her mIU scan, and held it p iisei over the api-rliir bv whiih her enemy was to make bis ap pearance. She bad resolved 10 strangle him in dt fence of her own life and that ol her c hild. The position , was an awful one; and probably had she been able to direct her attention to the surrounding ciriiin. stances, she might have given way to her fears, and attempted to raise the house be her screams. The fire nn the health, unattended to, had fallen around, and now gave only a dull, sullen light, with an occasional bright gleam. Every object in the vast 8pari ment glowed with a restless motion. Now and then a mouse advanced stealthily along the floor, but, startled by some noise under the bed, went scouring bark in terror to its hole. The child breathed steadily in its unconscious repose ; the mother endeavored also to imitate slumber; but the man under the bed, uneasy in his position, could not help occasionnlly making a slight naise. . Mrs. Martin wasoccupied with enly two ideas. . First she reflected 011 Ihe extraor dinary delusion by which she had been led to see enemies in the people of the house and a friend in the red haired man ; and socondly, it struck her that as he would fear no resistance from a woman he might push away the chairs that were in his way, regardless of tne noise, and thus avoid the snare that Was laid for him. Once she thought that whilst her attention was strongly directed to one spot, he had made hia exit, and was leaning over her; but she was deceived by a flickering shaduw on the opposite wall. In reality there was no danger that he would compromise the success ol his sanguinary enterprise; the shrieks of a i iclim put on its guard might alarm the house. ... Have yen ever stood, hour after hour wilh your fishing rod in hand, waiting wilh fereciotis patience of an angler, lor a nibble t If you hare, you have some faint idea of the state of mind u which Mrs. Marlin with far other interest at stake passed the time, until an old clock on the chimney-piece told one afer midnight. A eot her source of anxiety now presented itself the fire had nearly burned 0 it, ILt dizzy eyes could scarcely ere the floor, as she, bent with fearful attention over the head ofthe bed the terrible noose hang ingj like the sword ol Damocles, above the gloomy aperture. 4'What,,, thought she, "il he delay his appearance until the livht hat completely died away ! Will it n t then be impossible for rae to adjust the cnfio ilo I c .l-i-il to. kill tV$ a in -to save inveell and 111 V ihiltil, O, (J aI !

IL r white arms were bared tu Ih shoul ders; her hair fell wildly around her lace, like the mane ot lioness about to leap upon ils prey , the distended orbits ol her eyes glared down upon the spot where the question of life and death was soon to bv decided. Time seemed immeasureably lenglhened out, every second assumed the proportions of an hour. But at last, just as all line and forms began to float before her sight through an indistinct medium of blending lijjht and darkness, a black mass interposed between her eyes and the floor. Suspense being over, the time ol action having arri ved, everything seemed to pas with magi cal rapidity. The robber thrust his head carelnlly foreward, Mrs. Martin bent down. There was a half-choked cry the sound ol a knife falling to the floor a convulsive struggle. Pull ! pull ! ! pull ! ! ! Mrs. Mar tin heard nothing saw nothing, but the scarf passing between her two naked feet. She had hall thrown herself back and hold ing her scarf with both hands pulled with a desperate energy lor her life. The con flict had begun ; and one or the other must perish. The robber was a powerful man, and made furious efforts to get loose ; not a sitind escaped his lips not a sound from hers. The drradful tragedy was enacted in silence. . "Well, Mother Gnerard," cried a young man, leaping out of a carriage that slopped before the door of the Atiburge next morn ing, "what news have you got for me 1 Has rny mother arrived ?" "Is it your mother? asked the landlady, who seemed quite gond humored niter her night's rest. . "Theie's a lady up stairs waiting for some friends, but she does net speak French easily and seemed unwillino to talk. We could scarcely persuade her to go to bed." "Show me the room?", cried Arthur, running into the house. They soon arrived hefore the door. "Mother! Mother:" cried he, but he received no answer. "The door is only latched for we have no robbers in this part ol the country," said the landlady. But a formidable obstacle opposed their entrance. They became alarmeit, espe cially when ihey heard the shriek of the lilt leg irl, rnd burst open th" dorr. The first object that presented itself was the fjee of Ihe robber, tioletillv upturned rom beneath the bnl, and with protruding tongue and eyeballs; Ihen.xt was the lortti'rd M ir.
