V In a large log cabin in the valley of the streamlet, 3lilly Dean sat alone. Her husband had gone to a distant town, and the young wife was left with her baby. Accustomed "Would you like to see. some of the men folks, sir?" she uiquired, "if so I will call them from their IkmIs." The maii laughed hoarsely, and replied : SL "31 illy Dean, for tnatl believe is your name, yon cannot deceive me. You are all alone, I took particular care to ascertain that be fore I came. So vou may as well make yourself easy on that score and do as I bid you." "Do as you bid me ?" exclaimed Alilly,in terror ; "what do you want of me ?" "I want that twelve hundred dol lars in gold your husband received for his produce two days ago. You probably know where it is." Milly sprang into the entry and would have fled, but the stranger caught her by the wrist, and drag ged her roughly back. " You cannot escape me, young wo man," he said. " You will find it most convenient to make a clean breast of it at once. It will be bet ter for you.". Milly strove to release her aim. The rough treatment she received aroused her temper, and indigna tion overcame all other feelings. "Let me go, you scoundrel, let me go, or I will call for help," she cried. "Call you fool," said the brutal fellow, "and much good it may do you. Keep yourself still and tell me where the money is." "I will not 1" she exclaimed, her eyes flashing fire. "You will not," he then replied : j," we shall see." i He released her wrist bo violently that she reeled half way across the room. Then he seized that sleeping infant from its cradle, and held it at arm's length almost to the blazing fire, so that the . terrified moth er expected to see its little garments catch the flame. "Xow then, where is the money ? Speak out quick, or hear your baby shriek with pain. I will burn it to death before your eyes if you do not tell me where the money is. you will know me again." And he advanced upon her. (), sir, let me live. Have you not done enough to take my hus band's money, without depriving him of his wife too ? I will never say one word, against you if you will only spare me, only spare me !" As she spoke she clasped her hands and looked imploringly at him. "I am sony that I cannnot safely m the consideration of what she had passed through, . and the re mainder was divided around.

Her mo tions were so rapid, that before he could prevent it, her finger had pressed the trigger and there was an explosion. But with equal readi ness the man hail stepped aside, the ball passing over his head, and the next instant his gripe was on her throat. " I will teach you to handle arms," he said. " You would have killed me, would you ? I will show you a trick worth two of that." " Mercy, mercy," cried the terri fied woman. " There is no mercy for you," lie ejaculated. He dragged her into the entry and flung open the door. " Out with you into the snow." I "Hold! what is this?" exclaimed a deep-toned voice. .' Unhand that woman, you scoundrel." v A powerful man stood in the door way. He dealt the robber a blow between the eyes which struck him back into the entry. Ills grasp on Milly was relinquished, and she fell to the floor. " O, sir," she cried to the new comer, "save me ! This man lias robbed us, and would murder me that I would not tell of it." " Fear not madam, he shall not harm you," responded the stranger. "Fellow, surrender yourself!" " Get out of the way," cried the robber, making a rush tor the door, and striking at the stranger with a bowie knife. Giving back a few steps, the stranger seized the robber by the collar, whirled him around and threw him on his face in tlie snow. Tlie robber struggled : but the stranger knelt heavily on tho "Monster, give me my child, s?11 of his back and grasped his mooted cimirs, and pin- no expects to irtve entire' wttetoction to to pojitude she felt safe, and sat I shrieked Milly, endeavoring to reach i ,iaur nfflf !!;, SSSSrA In coritment before the blazing ' th? little one, "letmehavemy baby,' Lie, still," m the stranger, ,Wi!t-l I sent. 1tf-y2 JOSErn W LBIUvB. w 1 announced the following plan of discourse T" "I find in this narra tive four subjects of astonishment which go on increasing the one upon the other. 1.

A cour tier who asks his inferior to instruct him, which must cause a redoubled surprise. 4. And that this surprise may reach its climax, a courtier who is conrerted." Watering Teams. : Joseph Harris says : How many times a day does the ploughman or driver of a team in the harvest field slake his thirst? Does it not occur to him that the horses or oxen, which have been severely taxed with labor, and have possibly been profusely sweating under the hot sun, - are in as great need of quenching thirst as he is ? When animals are kept to long from water they will certainly take more than is proper for them, and many a fit of colic is occasioneil thereby. The practice of watering, at least once between feeds in tho morning and again in the afternoon, should be regularly followed, and. if fifteen minutes is thereby lost tt the plow, it will be more than made up in the renewed vigor with which the team will take hold on its re- turn. - . . - What do you think the , warden of the Massachusetts State prison says i ight out ot ten come Iier by liquor i and a great curse is not learning a trade.
