My nearest companion,an elderly French-• man, who was usually very g,drrirlous, had been on this occasion much absorbed in thought, and had preserved silence for an extraordinary length of time, though the t witch ings of his countenance and the shrugs of his shoulders plainly told that ho was IniAding an interesting conversation with his own heart and memor . y. At length 1 asked the cause of his musings and frequelit t jag ti Imams. he was a great gourmand, I guessed that he was afraid of potion, and secretly execrated his suspicious temper, rt juicing that I was not a jealous Italian: •Slave you ally other guests here to night ?' asked the captain, appearing to take no notice of the prying curiosity of the land lord, who in vain tried to ascertain who and what we were. , Only a priest 'on his way to Turin.— Poor man, he has been stopped here for two (lays by the storm, us he irave;s on foot.' 'And what may be the reverend father's name ?' asked my companion. .Fra Carlo Renevoluzo,' replied the other. ! that is a distinguished ammo. I think I have met with some padres of the .Very likely,' said the innkaller. 4There are others el the family in high orders ; he had a brother killed nt the battle of Nla ren go, as le , went to administer the consolations of rclioion to <omr dying soldiers. an a (Itivont ! is Padre Carlo gone tobcd %Per haps he would do us the honor to drinir with us.' The host replied, that he 'had retired to say his prayers and count his rosary, which he did several times a day, holy man ! but he might not yet be gone to sleep. Presently ,the Padre niade his Ippearance, with an nir of meek devirion, crossed him self, and blessed us in the name of the holy Virgin and his patron saint Carlo. The captain gave hint one si melting glance, so piereitm as almost to discompose httn ; but it passed over, and we entered into friendly conversation. A couple of hordes with face tious talk warmed us thoroughly, arid we proposed mirk sr.y,- to rest. The captain was shown into a bed chamber which he did not at all fancy We had before conversed about the Italian Inns, and he had cautioned me alaavs to lock and barricade the door at night. Now, he was himself put into a room which had three doors besides the one by which we entered front the stair, and none of them could be locked, its the chamber was a perfect thorouolifare. lie looked touch discolor, serf, and asked which of the rooms : was to occupy. The landlord apologised for Inking me a little way off, as the neigh bornig beds were alseady occupied, and it was too late to make alterations. Vie of the adjoining rooms was taken by the priest ; another belooged to himself, and his wife was in ; and the other dour led to a pass age and 'small apartment to which his gatti - iliter and maid servant had gone, giving up their hods to the company. L was then conducted 13 a room On the other side of the padre's, but hail scarcely got into bed, when the captain came in, bringing his hula port manteau and candle. Ile bloke out into a furious invective against the vermin which wero in his bed, which would• render it im pe.,Hble fur biro to sleep there. As this misfortuit- was no uncommon thing in these countries, it excited in we no surprise save that an old so:titer:Would be daunted by such dimiuuticc COCI1110:". Upon my instantly ofl.ring to resign my couch, and try if I could not deep amongst those Lilliputian intiranders, he imperatively declined, and said that he wou!il repose in It chair beside me. Ile then examined the door and found that it had no lastetimg, and as it opened in to the padre's chamber, it could not he bar ricaded on our side. Ile was terribly (Its concyrted, and walked about in considerable emotion ; then setting the lighted candle on a !inutile commode near the door, lie seated hitn , elf near nit and beside a table, on which lit placed two loaded pistols and a carbine, which he examined and tacked, and laid and sword upon my bed. A number of curious thoughts passed through my brain, tickled whir the idea of a hero of ;inlay fights being dislodged' front his encampment b - y a few insects; and my imagination suzgestcd a glowillq picture of this won d erful campai.2n, which would form the subject of an excellent farce. And then his tiondity—to be afraid of a lonely land lord, with three women and a holy priest ! Ho would make another Dart Quixote, fight tug. with a windwill or a (luck of sheep. I SO relished the' thought and the sight, that l was unwilling to yield to Nlorpheus, whose magic influence had become heavy ; but was beginning to doze, when I thought I heard the creaking of the dour, and looking through the curtain, I saw, or dreamed I saw,a faint shadow dimly reflected upon the wall.— Turning to the captain, I perceived hint eyeing the door, with a pistol grasped in his hand, which he was 'just raising, when the door was quietly closed and all was silent. About an hour aft; rwarils'the same was re peated, and sleep vanished front my eyes. I dared not speak to the captain, who did not close his eyes for an instant, but kept them fixed with sentinel keenness upon the door, and his hand upon a pistol. He called us early, ordered horses to be put to the carri age, and told Giuseppe to Inuit° coffee in the mode ho liked it. Giuseppe looked in lan inquiring way, caught his eye, and int wediately obeyed. , . Thu padre joined us, and very meekly asked perini: , sion to occupy a sent in our ca. I •chn, which, to my surprise. was courteous !, granted, and lie was invited to partake of .ur early repat. Thu captain kept hint in NUMBER 24. constant conversation, and although he chan t god his seat once or twice, always managed to rise for something and sit opposite to him and never to be beyond reach of his pistol. I was confounded, for they seemed to be playing a game at movements. At length the word was given, "Let us go !" and was curious to see.how the game would now be played, especially as some additional pieces had appeared on. the board, in the shape of the landlord's wife, daughter, and chamber-maid, all big buxom dames, whose tall figures. I much admired, but of whom, my companion seemed as suspicious as of the holy lather. Ile passed no compliments and appeared much chagrined. Yet he managed matters most adroitly, his object; as I thought, being to let nobody walk be hind us. 'Signor, run and tell the postillion to mount the white horse, fur the black one sometimes kicks. Signore, please take these cloaks, and spread them on the seats of the carriage. Girl, take the candle. Father Benevoluto, be kind enough to take charge of this bottle of eau-de-vie, and put it into the far pocket of the carriage. Giuseppe, bring this portmanteau. A ndiamo t' said he, pushing all of us before him as he followed with his tire arms. In a trice we were at the carriage door. 'Father, don't get out again ; pray be sea ted. U signor, pray hold that black horse Up, Giuseppe, and keep this in your hand, and look about you flu• robbers. It is a bad road. Ladies, addio! Va We Were oil before we knew where we were, and the captain urged the postillion forward ; but we had not proceeded a quar ter of a mile when he culled out to stop, and in a hurried tone, addressing Far Carlo; said : 'Pardon me, Father Wnevokuto ; I have left soine papers of importance on my bed— do, pray. go and fctch them : We await your return ;' and without stopping fur his reply open the door and helped- him to descend. I was just beginning to Ayr my own ser vices, when a grinding oath, half einitted, silnced, Int% .Good cutter, do be quick , for I can trust nobody with those papers on this vile road but youisell : no thief would rob a. priest.' It was 1.1111)0S , iible to refuse ; and t'ra Car lo set Mt at greater speed than I had deemed him capable of using. When he was Out of sight, my companion ordered the,postil lion to drive on quickly. Ho replied that: we were to wait for the padre ; but the cap tain thundered,out 'Hark you ! make no noise with your whip, but spur your horses to a gallop, and keep them galloping till I hid you go slower : . The moment you stop or crack your whip, I shall send a bullet through yoUr Va !' • , ofr we went, slapdash how long I know not, for L was overwhelmed With surprise, afraid that the captain had become deranged_ and that I might he the first victim .of his vi olent temper. At length he called out: .Piano ! piano !' and ve instantly pa'ssed through St. Autodin, where we , net ft mili tary patrol, to %vhom the captain shmired his passport, and said that there were suspici euscharacters.on the road between this and Le Nfauvais Pas. The °filth bowed jow,and ordered his men to keep a sharp look' out. As we proceeded, ht. smiled and exclaimed : .Now We are safe, and can take breath a little—thanks to the holy Virgin and all thu guardian saints for our deliverance !' ventured to say, that though some things did look rather . suspicious in the inn. yet I could act fix upon anything really vil lainous, and should not have imagined any harm, ut t kss I had perceived him to be so much on his truard ; that I did not much like the landlord, vet the woman were hand' soine, and I was much pleased with Pre Carlo.; but the priest and hint elf seemed to be playing a game at seats and places, and he had certainly check-mated. hint at last. 'Yes,' said he ; 'it was a game for life. So Carlo ll'nevoluto has assumed the padre now I Methinks he will not long wear the cowl.
