Iam not the poor fool you su 1! You have played your part and I mine! Te nes flatter yourself that I have been en- soared! 1 know you, and boldly came here to detect you in your guilt ! Not a single drop of your poisoned wine hus passed my lips! Your whole establish- ment is under the surveillance of the police; and unless I return to my friends by daylight your mansion will be entered by the dread oflicers of the Jaw, and every living soul in it will be taken into custody! Now mark well what I say! You must instantly yourself conduct me tlear of your premises aod if you dare to falter in the least, that, moment, so sure as there is a God in Heaven, you die! Now give me your hard and Jead the way !’ White with terrified amazement, and trembling like ap aspen, the guilty, wretched woman stood cowering before my stera, penetratiag glance. For nearly a minute she seemed too much overpowered to leave the room. I took her band, and grasped it like a vice, and silently pointed to the door, At length she went forwerd with tottering steps. In silence she led me through the dark corridor, down the stairs, through the passage, into the court, through another passage, and opened the last door that admitted me to life and light. Morn was just breaking; and as I felt the cool air of Heaven upon my fevered brow, and thought of my narrow escape from death, there cama such a whirl of strange emotions that I reeled forward like one intoxicated ! The mansion I had just qnitted, stood on the banks of the Seine, about two miles below the old city; and I believe, if I had drunk the wine offered me, my rifled body would soon have been cast in the rushing waters. I believe, moreover, the mansion, grand as it appeared, was only a den of robbers and murderers ; that the woman was simply a beautiful decoy for foreigners and strangers : and that many a peor, unsuspecting soul, had taken its fight from there to the eternal world! I did not communicate with the police, for reason that, in the first place, I could bring no charge of gnilt against any; but thankful beyond expression for my own escap2, I firmly resolved never to risk my life again in another mysterious adventure in Paris. EARNING A WIFE. *And so you want to marry my daughter, young man,’ said farmer Allen, removing his pipe from his mouth, and looking at the young fellow sharply from head to toe. Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air, which was mainly the result of his education, Luxe Johnson was a fine looking fellow, and not easily moved from his self- possession ; but he colored and grew confused beneath that sharp, scrutinizing look. ‘Yes, sir. I spoke to Miss Mary last evening, and she referred me to you.’ The old man’s face softened. *Molly isa good girl, a very good girl,’ he said, stroking his chin with athoughtful air, - and she de- serves a good husband. What can you do?" The young man looked rather blank at this abrupt inquiry. * If you refer to my ability to support a wife, I can assure you *I know you are a rich man, Luke Jobnson, but I take it for granted that you ask my girl to marry you not your property. home. to use them ? Again I ask, what can you do ? This was a style of catechism for which Luke was quite unprepared, and he stared blankly at the questions, without speaking. ‘I believe that you managed to get through college— have you an "vee we i? *No, sir, I thought—’ * Have you any trade?’ * No sir, my father thought with the wealth I should inherit, I should not need any.’ * Your father thought like a fool then, He'd much you off with a shilling, you. ; twenty-four years old, and never earned a dollar in your life. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.’ *And you want to marry my daughter?” revumed the old man, after a tew vigorous puffs at his pipe. * Now, I’ve given Molly as good advantages for learn- img as any girl in town, and she basn’t thrown 'em ae eee away; but if she didn’t know her work, she'd be no} Tf I chose, I could keep more than | daughter of mine. one servant; but I don’t, no more than I chose that my daughter should be a pale, spiritiess creature, full of dyspepsia, and &@ll manner of fine-lady ailments, instead of the smiling, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked lass she is. 1 did say she would marry no Jad that had been carsed with a rich father; but she’s taken a foolish liking to ye, and Fil tell yo what I'll do; go to Work and, prove yourself to be a man; perfect yourself in some occu- pation—I don’t care what, if it be honest, and then come to me, and if the girl is willing she is yours.’ As the old man said this, he deliberately knovked the ashes out of his pipe against one of the pillars of the ch where he was sitting, tucked it inte his vest et, and went into the houre. Pretty Mary Allen was waiting down at the garden te, their usual jp place. The smiling light Rica from her eyes as she noticed his sober, discom- fited look. ‘Father means well,’ she said, as Luke told her the result of bis application. *And I am not sute but that he is about right,’ he re- sumed, after a thoughtful pause, * for it seems to me that overy man, be he rich-or poor, ought to have some , ion.

On being spoken to on such singular conduct he remarked that he considered it no more than the handsome thing toward his lamented predecessor. Dr. Johnson, in spite ot the contempt he affected for actors, persuaded himself to treat Mre.

Most persons will, at some period of their lives, suffer from indigestion, derangement of the liver, stomach or bowels, which if not quickly removed, frequenty settle into a dan- gerous illness, It is well known in India, and other tropi- cal climates. that Holloway's Pills are the only remedy that can be relie¢ on in anch cases, Almost every soldier abroad carries a box of them in his knapsack. In England mest persons know that these Pills will cure them whenever tho liver, stomach or bowels are out of order, and that they need no physician, : Weakness and Debility. Such qs suffer from weakness, or debility, and those who eel want of energy, should at once have recourse. to those Pills, as taey immediately purify the blood, and acting upon the main-spring of life, give strength and vigor to the system To young persons entering into womanhood, with a.derange ment of che functions, and to mothers at the turn of life these ills will be most efficacious in correcting the tide of life that may be on the turn. Young and elderly men suf- ferin a similar mannér at the same periods, when there 1s alwaye danger; they should therefore undergo a course of his purifying medicine, which insures lasting health, . Disorders of Childen. If these Pills be used according to the printed direction and the intment rubbed over the region of the kidneys, at least once a day as salt is forced into meat, it will ponetrat the kidneys and correct any derangement of their organs. Should the affliction be stone or gravel, then the Ointment should be rubbed into the neck of the bladder, and a few days will convince the sufferer that the effect of these two ro medies is astonishing, Disordes of the Stomach Are the sources of the deadliest maladies, heir effect is to vitiate all the fluids of the body, and to send a poisoned stream through all the channels of circulation. Now what is the a a of the Pills? They cleanse the bowels, re- gulate the liver, bring the relaxed or irritated stomach into a natural condition, and acting through the secretive organs upon the blood itself, change the state of the system sickness to health, by exercising a simultaneous and whol- some effect upon all its parts and functions Com laints of Females. The functional irfegularities peculiar to the weaker sex are invariably corrected without pain or inconvenience by the use of Holloway's Pills, ‘They are the safest and surest me- dicine for all diseases incidental to females of all ages, Bilious Affections.
