As soon as be heard the click of his sister's knit. tinpneedles, he gave UN a husk just like the one he bestowed on his congregation before beicin• slug his sermon ' • and when we were all Twit, he commenced his story. In the autumn of 1823, just thirty-Ave years ago, my sister and I went to phy a visit to an aunt, married to a wealthy wood merchant of Bellinaona. I was then eighteen, aad la Petite some years younger. One mole and aunt, who had no children, grew very fond of us, and would not bear of oar leaving them ; they talk ed of adopting the little one, and of taking me into the wood business. We on our part were willing enough to May with them ; for never be., fore had we known so mush comfort, oar paresis being rich in oothiog but saes and daughters.— The winter of 1823-4 was more than usually severe ; the snow lay deep is the valley ; all the small streams were frozen, so no saw mills could work Our uncle grumbled and smoked, and smoked and grumbled, from morning till night. He bad several large orders, and he was uneasy at the delay be was forced to make in executing them You must know that the wood is felled in summer, but sot removed till winter, when by means of long slides, formed of rough trunks of tree% on which water is poured to procure a mating of ioe, the timber is conveyed to the foot 1 of the mountain. Now, that winter not one among the stoutest.hearied of the Burratori—the men are so called who cut and bring the wood to the lake—would venture up to the forests.— There was nothing for it bat to wait till the cold moderated. But February, with its wild bleak days came, and passed, and still the men refused to work. At last some warm sunny days ushered in the month of March. The-meow left the valley, aad the Joy reggae of she merry streams malted pike away. The sunshine with- out brought as sunshine within; my aunt's hoe. band now whistled about the house, making each of kis fiegera go off in small reports as • to go up the mouotaiu. As ddrn i Vo l erilsOilint weeks there bad been neither a fresh fall of snow, nor any indication of a thaw, the weather wise declared no danger was to be apprehended. In (sot, the mountain, frum **tare, was little subject to avalanches, tour had any worth speak ing of oocurred within the memory of man. Tired out by such lung inactivity, I was wild to join in« intended ezpeditioci, and at last wear ied my uncle into granting my permission to be. gin my apprentioeship at oaee. I was put under the ear.. .4 an old fellow called Pitmen', genera/1y rec,inisetl as the chief of the litirratoti. We were to set,iitit ou tLe Monday WiWsag, and it was coped the job would be completed by the following Saturday. We had however, forgotten to ask la Petite's consent She, who had never been separated from me even for a day since her birth, was in tears from morning till night at the idea of my leaving her for a !bole week. My uncle was, in truth, a soft hearted man, so he agreed to go with us himself, aad take the little girl also as far as Aquila. a village in the Val Blegno, lying at the bass of the mountain to which we were bound. This arrangement pat an end to my sisters tears ; dough, as the narrator' stop out night and day 411 the work is finished, she would see as Wile of as if she had kernatoed at Belliosona. We were well provided with woollen wrappers and the means of kindling a fire ; and as you may believe, the thought of this bivouac bad infinite charms for my imagination. The cold on that memorable Monday meriting was perhaps as income es it bad been daring the winter; but as cheat) was no wind, the men kept to their engagement.. I cannot einem that sleep iog seder a rook was as delightful in reality as in anticipation ; still, I relished being treated as a man, and never complained . On the Wedaes day, old Picorio declared it was beginning to thaw, and on Thursday it win perfectly clear that the frost bad broken up ; indeed, we heard the snow slipping down the grooves oat is the mountain's aide by the spring aad summer tor. rents. The Iturrathri did not seem to care, for the pine trees pretreated any dangerous aesumn. lation of snow in oir immediate vicinity. Our only danger lay is going to aad from the forest, our night's shelter : Wag in the natural eaves formed by projeethqg rocky, which, as a matter of course, were on ; that part of the mountain where there was ao wood. We strained every nerve to finish our task on Friday evening. "Three or four haws more would have done it," said Pieurio us a despoodiag tone, as dark ness overtook as, and a large stack of timber still lay before us. "Well, then, let us be up by peep of day," cried I, 44aed we may all be beck at Belling?' by the evening:" ..

Our path up the monstais, sow winding is and out through pines, /tow passing under steep, bare rocks perforated with caverns, ran along the edge of a revise several hundred feet deep, at the bottom of which lay, silenced wider a bugs snow drift, one of the great mountain streams which in summit eould be beard miles away, as it (lashed and roared is its precipitous descent to joie and swell the wide Ticino. Far above, as high as we could see, were monntaia tope b ristlingi with speared sea green lee, which, as I gazed were gilded by the rays uf the tieing 111111. "Look I" cried I, "is not that the promise of a fine day Old PiearW shook his head as before, for at the instant a pale, watery sun encircled by a.ring of vapor, shot into view. In another moment it was entirely obscured by the clouds which speedily covered the whole- sky. - The sighing, breeze suddenly grew into a turbulent wind, and some pia* shim fell. The am stood get, ksokiag uneasily shoot them, mattering between their iamb : 1 Tama d'un von' mostro !" (Cow of • monstrous wind 1) "I told you so," oried Piourio ; "those clouds area sign of evil. Let ns go baek—we have no time to law. The holy Virgin protect as from as avalanche 1" "Nonsense, father replied the son ; "ion know there are never avalabobes on Ibis moun tain. " "Don't say so, my son ; remember hearing my father speak of a terrible one." "As big as my hand," answered the young man laughing. Nevertheless, the old man's words bad pro duced as effects; for, as if with one accord, we all turned round and began to descend towards the village. The wind would cease as if by mag ic then owns rushing from every quarter 61' the heavens , a mighty and a strong wind ;' the sleet changed to thick fast falling snow, which, whirl ing in mad eddies, and flying up and down, &t -moos blinded us. We walked as quickly as we eould, following Pieurio, who had assumed the lead ; but what, with the teasing of the wind, and the slipperiness of the path, we could scarce ly keep oar feet. After one blast, which nearly hurled us down the ravine, we joined arms, and kept as close together as we contd. Not a word was spoken; for by this time the bravest heart amongst us quaked with fear, and many an anx ious glance was cast around in search of any signs of the dreaded disaster We bad reached a point about halt way down the mountain, where the path passed through a mere cleft between two rocks. Here we were forced to go two by two At that instant, a boom like that of a distant waterfall attack on our ears. We moped, raised our eyes is terror, and saw, right skive us, a large white mass like a living thing, rise slowly with a convulsive heave from the edge of a rock, hover for a sec. and, topple, then come crashing down. "The araftsehe ! tie arstasehe !" burst from every lip. 'To the left, to the eaves," shouted Picurio, dragging me along with tuts. In the twinkling of an eye down fell the enormous white mass in front of our refuge; there we were unhurt, but shut in betweell a wall of r t reh t• • h'"giternall mesi modlo' itt'oeirtinerineat, Pico no cried out : "Who is here beeithis me ?'" It was pitchy dark—no seeing even one's own band Mine was the only voice that replied "My son ! cny son !" ezelaimeti the ull man ; "oh, that I bad died for thee, my ion ;' and L beard him weeping. Awful were those momenta Buried alive—a lather's agony eke only sign of life breaking the stillness cud Mediae*, tit the grave. Often in the silent watobei of the night do I bear again that voice of woe—often in dreams I live over again that terrible scene. Have you your axe, young wee r said Pi curio. No In the perilous tuutuent when he had forced me under the ruck, the aze bad slipped out of my bend With all the energy of despair, we dung the whole weight of our bodies against the inert mw which shut us into oar living tomb--hopetese. I must have then fallen into a lethery : for the avalanche fell in the early morning, and the Ave Maria was ringing when I recovered my onnseiotumees. Yes, we duitinotly beard the bell of the church of Aquila. No words can desenbe the rapture . I felt in luitenieqg to this voice from without ; it seemed to say distinctly "Hope in God's mercy " "Let us . pray," said the old man We recited the Angelus, sod told the rosiry After that we felt more composed ; and at down side by side. The sound of the thumb. bells had taken away the horrible feeling of being enurtly cut off from the living. We felt sate that, as noon as we were missed, all the village would turn out on the morrow 10 seek for ur, and we agreed that, as we were able to hear the bells so clearly, it would not be difficult to make ourselves beard by say pacers. Luskily, our day's food wet in Our pockets ; we divided it into several portions, so that it should last twenty-four hours. With in that period we never doubted obtaining oar release. Presently the *burl* bell began to ring again. It could not be the De Profundlc• sufficient time had not elapsed ; besides, the strokes were quick and sharp, not slow and solemn Glory be to God, it was the storm bell ; the alarm was given andt i i.soals would soon be on the search for as. Maher rieurio nor I spoke, so eagerly did we strain our ears to catch the sound of sp. peoaching steps, long before it was possible that any one could have reached the mountain. I think the besting of our hearts might have bees heard in that dead silence. At last, we distinguished the barking of a dog. j 1. recognised the bark at owe : it was Btbi ' is Petite's pet. Nearer and nearer it came, unul we could bear him whining and switching the i snow which bid us. Then the blessed sound of human voices became audible. Full of hope and I jly. we threw ourselves ones more against oar snow barricade ; we dug at it with mar lands and nails, siriviag to open a crevice through which we might let our friends know our eitpa tips. We shouted with all our might, but the noise fell beetitillivily on our milieus. Many times we were aware that the deckers were close to os—we heard them calling to one soother.— We suld hear, but, with anguish we saderstood that we viOd not make ourselves heard. Near as the 'Webers were, we could bold no mama. aimition 'kb them. Exclamations of horror, pity, and gnat, met oar ease! The names of our misfortunate comrades Were pronounced in tones that plainly revealed their sad fate. There was a beetle, many .direetions of how i laiat to eau, sway she bodies, wonder about u, and then oar espeeted deliverers de. A horrible de eper took possession or:' as their retreating steps grew fainter and fainter • but poor Pieurio always cried : 'Let us pray ; &ad', right arm is to enough to reach us even here.' I tried to pray, but my thughts wandered to my bowie; all the childish griefs I. had known were forgotten, sad I wept bitter salt tears to think I should new see tuber or wither, brother or Mewe again; all my full. to them rase up is ' Judaism' a me; bar solemnly I wowed diet abanid ipontsers life, I womb( aim again IN ADVANCE. !C~~ @HIE rebel against the will of my parental And Is Petite, what would aloe Jo with me? I was sure she would die for grid. As the night wore on, my though to took another turn—the whole Beene of my own death, the finding of my frozen body the despair of my poor little sister, were sieving pictures before me. I eould not detach my fan• cy from the phantoms it had evoked. It was painfully curious the way in which I arranged and rearranged all the details, sparing myself no revolting minutia. I suppose I mast at last have dropped asleep, for I knew nothing more till Picario called to me that be heard the bell for early mass I raised myself to a sitting tare, and we each ate a portion of oar . All that day and the ensuing night passed in alternations of hope and despair. -By the next morning-4be beginning of the third day since our entombment—oar little provision of food was exhausted. We were oppressed by feverish thirst and gnawing hunger—a horrid death was before us, the fate *Ethos who 4a4 perished at 0111 Ce was to be envied in -aomparison with the bowleg suffering we anticipated. We had oeasedyto speak, ceased to pray; I bad 4 bp pe sow-09, faith. In ; goody silence we eit ' apart, watching; I may say,. the approach of t i pangs of death, when sttddenly the dee r butt yes broken by a fusilier sharp bark. It was BIM again: Oh, the unutterable joy of hearing the little fellow tearing and stretching it the snow blocking op our cave: There was another sound that made hot tears rain down my cheeks; it was a child's voice—no other than Is Petita's —crying. "He is here, uncle. 1 sin sure be haw Oh, dig, good men, dig fast!" Our hearts melted within Qs as we heard many prep nearing our prisou. There was danger, too, for many cautious were given. The child's voice stilt rive clear above ill: "Make baste; do make haste. Give me a hoe; I can dig. My poor brother will be dead, if you don't make baste ." At last a long sh was pushed through the sunw•wall; it toucl6W me; I seized it. There was a about of "A miracle! a miracle!" mingled with the child's wiki cry of "Brattier! brother!" Another stick was thrust through and caught by Pieurio Not a whisper wad now to be beard; every ono worked'. minutes seemed hours to us before an opening was made large enough to drag as through Wheat we once more saw daylight and dear familiar faces, we fell down fainting with joy.— we were lifted out and laid at the feet olthe old cure, who, in spite of age and infirmities, bad ventured up the mountain to bless and encour. age the efforts of the men who, touched by the child's agony of grief, had consented to make one wore search for us.

Damon Benoroft's nearest neighbor was a widow , The Widow Wells; who bad passed through one matrimonial esperiesee, was some three or four years younger than .Deacon Baseveft. She was still quite a eoimely woman. Unfortunately the late Mr. Wells bad not bees able to leave her sufficient to make her independent of the world. All she possessed was the small, old fashioned house in which she lived, and a small, amount, of money, whieh was insufficient to sup port her and a little son of antra, though hardly to be classed as a "productive"—of anything but mischief. The Widow was therefore obliged to take three or four boarders, to eke oat the musty twos. which of course irodosed upon her. eonaiderable labor and anxiety. - "It is not urprising, then, that under these circumstances she could no and thee have be thought herself of a second marriage, as a meth. od of bettering her eisiditicm! Or, again, need we esteem it a t4essial wander if, is her re fleetion upon this point, she could have cast her eyes upon her neighbor, Deacon Bancroft? The Deacon, as we hays already said, was in flourish ing circumstances fle would be able to main tain a wife in great comfort; and, being one of the chief personages in the village, could . ward her a prominent axial position. Some sagacious person has observed, however, that it takes two to make a match, a fact to be seriously considered: for in the present ease it wan exceedingly doubtful whether the worthy Pesiooo, even if be had known the favorable) opinion of his next neighbor, would have been 'Policed to propose changing ter name to Bans croft, noiesa, indeei, a suitable motive was bro't to bear upon him.

If I wss only as well off as Deleon-Sanemift-------" Still the Widow kept up her thinking; and by-and-by bee face brightened up. She had a; idea, which die resolved to put into execution at the very earliest practical moment. What it was, the reader will discover is the sequel. "Henry," said she to her sou the next morn ing. "I want you to stop at Deacon Baneroft's as you go along to school, and auk hint if he will call sod see me in the coulee of the morning or afttinoan, just as be finds it moat elonvettient." Deacon Bancroft was not a little surprised at the summons. However, about 11 o'clock he called itt. The Widow b ad got on the dinner, and bad leisure to sit down. She appeared a little embarrassed. "Henry told me that you would like to see me," he commenced. -Yea, Deacon Bancroft, I do, but I am afraid you will think very strange of it—at least what I have to say to you. The DeusCou very Hitely promised not to be surprised, although at tire same time kis curiosi ty was visibly excited. "Suppose;" said the Widow, outing down her eyes—"mind I inn only supposing the ease— so prim a prom should find a pot of gold in their ce l lar , would the law haul a right- to touch it, or would it hyloag a. them?" The Deseciu prliled up Lis tars. "A pot of gold, Widow? Why, unquestiona bly, the law would have w...thiog to do with it." "ALd the one who toriutrly owned the house conld'ilt come, forward and claim it, Gould he, DNicon?" inquired the Widow further, with ap pareut 'trivet) "No, Madam, certainly not—when the house was disposed of, everytbiog went with it, as a matkr of course. "I am glad to beu it, Deacon Yuu wou't think btrsuge of ti.e quatiou, but it bappcnt•d !L , cccur to my mind, and I *ight I would like Lo base it satisfied." "Certainly, Widow, certainly," aid the IJt•a• con, aboltsctedly "And, Deacon, as you are here, I hope stop to dinner with ne It will be ready punc. madly at twelve." "Well, no," mid the deacon; "I am obliged ' to you, but they will be expecting me bun " "At any rate, Deacon," said the Widow, at the same time taking a summing mince pie from the oven, "you aon't object to taking a piece of my mince pie; you must know that I rather pride myself on my mites pia." The warm pie sent fort such a delicious odor .that the Deacon was tartly tempted, and after saying "Well, really," with the intention of re fusing, he finishod by saying, "On the whole, I guess I will, as it looks so nice." The Widow wu really a good cook, and she Deacon was sorely tempted, and after saying, "Well, really," with the intention of, refusing, be finished b 3 saying, "On the whole, I guess I will, as it looks so nice." _ _ The Widow was really a good cook, sod the Detects ate with much gusto the renew slice I the Widow cut for him, and after a little more chatting upon important subjects, withdrew in I some mortal perplexity. "Well, is it potable?" thought he, "that the Widow could really have fousd a pot of gold in her collar?
