THE HUSBAND'S REVENGE. Somewhere about the year 1835, Wm. Bradway, a yonng man of five and ivrenty, then living in the interior of ihe Slate of New York left his family, consisting of a wife and two small children, and went south on a tour of speculation." He was absent nearly a year, and stated on his return, that he had been very successful, and had pur chased a place on the Red River, whither he proposed to move his family, and there set tle, perhaps for life. His wife, pleased with tte novelty of the change, readily assented to the new arrangement; and, as soon as their Northern affairs were properly settled, they set off for their new hime, which, iu due course of time, they reached in safely. But Mrs. Bradway was sadly disappointed in finding the place so different from what she had pictured in her fancy. The settle ment was new, and everything was rough.— The houses, many of them, were bu'lt of logs and even the best or them lacked the finish of her Northern homo, while the furniture was generally of the plainest and coarsest de scription, and scanty at that. But worse than all the rest were the inhabitants ; composed principally of rough speculators, negro traders, gamblers, and outlaws from different quarters, with such females and children as looked to them for support. Mrs Bradway who had been well educated and brought up in refined society, sought in vain among them for suitable accociates and com panions, and, being a stranger in a strange laud, soon became depressed and homesick. Under the peculiar circumstances, she un guardedly made some remarks not coinpli mentary to the pluce and its inhabitants ; and these remarks being reported, with such adduiuns and exaggerations as scandal-mon* gers generally use for embelishinent s, 6h e soon found herself surrounded by open ene etn'es, and subjected to such petty annoyan ces and persecuuons as little, malicious minds delight to inflict upon those they secretly be lieve to be iheir superiors, and both envy and hate for that cause. Six months had not passed away ere Wil liam Bradway felt the. nuccsaity of removing his family froin that unpleasant and lawless locality, and this he was preparing to do, when an u w I'uJ tragedy occur. which cf anged the peaceful man into a bloody aven ger. Some business at a neighboring settle ment called hiin from heme for a couple of days, and on his return he found his house in ashes, and learned that his wife and children had all been murdered under the most atro cious and aggravating circumstances—his poor wife, previous to her throat being cut, haviDg been subjected to treatment worse than death by the three ruffians concerned in the uorrib'e affair. To a fond husband and father this was a terrible blow; aud tor a day and anight William Bradway remained beside the still smoking ruins ot his dwelling, some of the tunejwalkiiig slowly around them with his eyes bent on the ground, and some of the time standing and gazing at them with an abstracted air, as if he were recalling tho past, or lookingfjnto (he future. He had shuwn no violent sorrow even at the first.hut had received the awful intelligence as one menially stupefied—as one who could not clearly believe the facts and comprehend the whole extent of his loss. It was obserued that his features suddenly became deadly white, even to his lips, and then gradually changed to a livid hup, which remained without alteration, and without bei; g after wards tinged by even the slightest flush "Who did it?" he inquired in a tone of unnatural calmness. These men were named—George Har baugh. James Fawcet, and John Ellery These men were known as gamblers and des peradoes, and had been suspected of being robbers and murderers. They did not live in the village, but had visited it occasionally; and one of them had, some time previously, had a quarrel with Bradway, and threatened revenge, though the latter little dreamed at the time that anything so terrible was meant as had been accomplished. It is but justice to say that, though the Bradways, as previously mentioned, had made themselves very unpopular in the place, there were very few of the residents who openly sanctioned the horrid crimes that had been committed, and there were some who boldly expressed a hope that the vile perpetrators would yet meet with a just punishment ; but though the ruffians had made no secret of their fiendish deeds, and had even boasted of them before they left the place, no one had made any attempt to arrest or detain thrm, and they had gune, no one knew whither. It was about ten o'clock in the morning that William Bradway first saw the ruins of his home, and heard the awful news of his irreparable loss ; and all through the remain der of that day and the night which followed it he conducted himself in the manner we have described, seemingly taking notice of the curious groups that gathered around him, and replying to none of the idle quel- tions put to him. The next morning he went into a neigh bor 's house and asked for something to ea whieh was eiven him. He offered to pay for this, but the man of the house declined to re ceive any money,and Invited him to make his home there for a few days. "No," returned Bradway, "I intend to leave to day." "You don't look as if you'd got strength to go far," sa-.d the man in a kindly tone. VI have that within which will sustain me," replied Bradway. He then inquired into the particulars of the awful tragedy and the direction taken by the murderers—speaking calmly himself, and listened calmly to all tbo replies—his features the while retaining their unnatural, livid hue, and then displaying no signs of emotion, save now and then a perceptible quiver of the bloodless lips. As he passed through the village, after takiog leavo of th is family; he was several times stopped by dif ferent parties, who wanted to enter into cont versation with .him, and find out what he intended to do, but he gave them only eva sive answers aud slipped ofl' as quietly as possible. It was about two months after this that George Ilarbaugb. late one night was picking his way thruugh the dark streets of Nacog doches from a gambling house in his lodg ings, when a man came up to him ani qui etly 6aid : "Good evening, sir !" "Who're you? and what dy'e want? demanded the ruffian in a gruff, surly tone, at the same time thrusting his right hand into his bosom as if to draw a pistol. "D j not be alarmed, sir!" returned the stranger; "but permit me to ask you one or two questions. In the first place, is your name George Harbaugh ?" " Well, what of it, whether it is or isn't ?' : was the uncivil demand. "'lt it is, 1 owe you something which I wish to pay," returned the stranger ; 4 'and If it is not, perhaps you can put mo in tha way to find the person I seek." 4 ' What do you owe me for, and how much?' inquired the gambler, taking his hand from his bosom. "I am right, then, in supposing I address George Harbaugh himself?" 41 Yes, that's iny name. What's yours,and where'd we ever meet before ?" "If I atn not mistaken," pursued the stranger, w you with two companions, were ai the village of 'n the R-d river, on the mght of thesixih of September last?" "Ha ! what's this ?" cried the ruffian, springing back, and attain thrusting his hand into his bosom. He had not time for more, ere, with a flash and a crack, a bail passed through his breast. As he staggered and fell, shouting murder, a sharp knife was drawn across his throat, and the name of William Br&dway hissed into his dying ear. It was the las' earthly sound he ever heard. He was found murdered, but his assassin was not discovered During the winter following, James Faw cet went among the Choctaws to purchase horses. While trading with the Indians he fell in with a small dealer, who, for a trifling consideration, offered to assist him in taking his horses to the settlement some two hun dred miles distant, wheie he expected to dispose of them at a heavy profit. The bsr gain was struck, and, with fifteen horses, James Fawcet set off with his assistant through a long stretch of wilderness. On the cecond night as the gambler and murder er sat smoking before the camp firs he was suddenly startled by finding a noose drop ped over his head and shoulders and drawn arouud his body, so as to pinion bis arms. In less than a minute, notwithstanding a vigorous resistance on his part, he was liter ally bound hand anp foot, and lay stretched on thejearth as helpiess as an infant. "What's the meaning of this 7 Do you in tend to murder me ?" he demanded,in a voice made tremulous by fear. "I suppose you do not recollect ever hav ing 6een me before you met me in the Indian village ?" said the man who had been acting as bis assistant, as be now stood over his prostrate form "No, of course not ! Where had I ever seen you before ?" replied Fawcet. The other removed a wig of long hair, end a patch from one eye, and then quickly said i4 Do you know me now ?" "Well,it does seem as if I had seen you be foro, but I can't tel! where," said the ruf fian. "Do you remember the woman and chil dren you helped to murder on the 6th of last September ?" 44 Ha ! you're Bradway !" cried the villain, in a tone of despair. 44 William Bradway, at your service—the same in name as when you knew me, bat not the same ID nature. Tnen I would not have harmed you ; but now I would execute the vengeance of a wronged husband and fath er." "Mercy !" gasped Fawcet. "Did you show any ?" "You will not murder me ?" 4 Yon must die, I have sworn it. I have followed you to ri<' Ihe earth of a monster— Harbaugh fell by my hand ; I shall not spare you, and then to d >wn John Ellery ! Say your prayers, if yon hare any to say, for your minutes are numbered ?" 44 Mercy, Mercygrasped the terrifle ruffain The avenger trade no further reply, but deliberatel proceeded to fasten a rope, around the neck of Fawcet. This done, he dragged him to a sapliDg, bent it over, secured the other end of the rope near its top, and let it go- With a wild, unearthly yell, the second murderei was jerked up from the earth, and hung dangling, swinging, and struggling a few feet from the ground. Bradway looked calmly on,till the body became still in death; and then, mounting his own horse, he rode swiftly away, leaving the other horses, and the money on the person of the dead man, to whoever might find them. It might have been six months after the terrible death of the ruffain just recorded that two men sat in a private room of a gam blimg den in Natchez, playing cards for mon ey. Piles of gold and silver and rolls of bank notes were on the table between the men,and each was staking his money freely, and ap parently considering nothing but how to beggar the other by his superior skill or kna very, "You know," eaid one of the two men, "that we are to play till one of us wins all ?'' "Suppose we take another drink on it ?" "Agreed !" A bottle and tumblers stood on the table ' just behind the first speaker, who got up and turned around and poured out two glassess his companion, who had the deal, improving the opportunity as well as he could to arrange the cards 60 as to give himself a winning hind. The man who. poured out the liquor now handed one to the gambler at the table and hold the other himself, for drink ing. "To the cholera !" he said quietly nodding to the other—for the malady had at that time, begun its work ol destruction. 4 To the cholera be it then, and let it do its work !" cried the gambler, with forced bra vado, turning somwhat pale, and tossing off his glass at one gulp. The o her drank quietly, replaced the two tumblers, and resumed his seat at the gam bling board. For a few minutes there va> no remark made, except what concerned the gnrae ; and then the one who had partially packed the cards, as he raked down a large sum he had just won, said, looking up with an expression of alarm, "By Heavens ! I feel vary Bl range !" "You look very pale," returned the other - - 44 1 think you are going to die." "Well, you're a pretty comforter, I must ay 1" "I think you will find me so presently." "Ah ?" groaned the gambler, dropping the cards and clasping his stamacb with both hands, "1 am on fire inside." "Of course you are !" "How, of coarse ? What do you know about it ? Have I got the cholera ?" deman ded the gambler somewhat fiercely. "Listen to me a few moments, and you will know and understand all. There were once three companions named Geo. Harbaugh, James Fawcet, and John Ellery. A littie more than a year ago. they murdered an in nocent woman and two children .in the village of , while the husband and father, Wil liaui Bradway, was away. When he return ed he learned all the horrid particulars ; he swore a solemn oath that he would rest in peace till he should have hunted them all down, and put an end to their guilty lives.— George Harbaugh was assassinated in the streets of Nacogdoches, James Fawcet was hung in the west, and John Ellery wass poi soned in Natchez." "But I am John Ellery 1" cried the gam bler, the very picture of horror. "No need to tell me that, who have hunted you to your death 1" said the other, "I am William Bradway !" "Good Heaven ! am I then poisoned ?" shrieked the wicked man, as new pangs seiz ed him. "Yes, beyond hope / In five minutes you will be a corpe " "Murder ! —help !"the dying man bpgaa to cry. 44 None of that !" said Bradway, springing upon him like a tiger, and forcing a handker chief in to his mouth, which held there until the man fell down in spasms, when he turned to the table and quickly selected his awn money from the gambler's and put it in his pocket. The poison was quick and sure and in less than half an hour from his last drink of spir its the murderer was a corpse, Waiting only to be certain of his death, Btadway went down atairn and told some of the people of the house that his companion either had the cholera or had fallen down in a fit and they had better go up and see to h : m. He then hastened down to the river, got on board the first passing steamer, and before night was many miles away from the scene of his last, act of vengeance. William Bradway subsequently went to Texas, joined a band of rangers, and was fi nally killed in a fight with a party of guerril las on the western frontier. His companions all spoke of him as a quiet, determined man, wbo was never known to smile. 8 8.00 jr*iajHL AJSTNUM EIGHTEEN/ At eighteen the true narrative of life fi yet to be commenced Before that tifte we sit I istening to a tale, a marvelous fiction ; almost always unreal.
