Blood was too slow in flowing. The rivercffered more spocday execution and a roomier grave Shoals of victims choked the channels of the Loire, and turned its waters into putridity. There were people about here and there, who could afford some inslings. Kennelling as I did with the wolves, with them I made nightly descents upon habitual places and the abodes of men. Asthese bore away lambe and other weak- lings cf the flock, sol fragments of intelli- gence, whispers, hearsays, eavesdropping:, and vague surmises of the bloodsh anger, who was urging some females westward. 1 saw whither all thiz was tending. Hope had left my bosom ; I scarcely cared to accomplish arcscue ; and dared not think upon any thing but revenge. To enter Nantes was certain death, aud death would frustrate all my ob- jects, and crown is with triumph— served myself to the consummation I joined the remnent of the Vend: dering & lessly through Br prowling ince the battle of bands of fifties and hundreds, w.th every man’s band againstthem. Vor such I wasa fit companion. They armed me; I clasped my swerd like a friend who was to do mea service. Thencefurth it was my closet com- panion. Daring as were these Chouans, they found in me one whom they could not hope to rival The gang I led gained a name for its despe- rate audacity, and carried terror even to the gates of Nantes, within which arhappy town likewise that fearful presence now stalked abroa+t in visible shape, anc its victims wholesale. The river which had flowed past the walls ever cinco y were built, bearing blessings on its besem and re flecting heaven on its surface, now yawned like a judgment close at hand, and intw its depths continually travelicd the youth acd bravery and Beauty and virtue and loyalty of Nantes.

Carrier's oy ades went on; it was now whole ship loads of victims that he sent down the stream, to be sunk bodily at its mouth, where he believed the ocean would do the rest, and rid him of further trouble. But ocean itself began to show symptoms of refusing to dispose of more dead than lay to its own account It had enough to answer for already. Renouncing complicity in these dceds of earth, it at lest took advantage of a mighty west wind and cast the unburied mass of mortality at the mouth of the stream that had rejected it. The whols population flocked down to discover and reclaim its dead. Whatit found it had to diepute with the ospreys and vultures, and the loathsome familiarity of wild beasts, which struggled between the legs of the human throng, in the absorbing fascination of such a banquet And like a fascinated wild beast there am I.

There I stand, looking seawards, for I know that ocean has an account to ren- der up to and that it will fulfil its trast And itis w 't shuddering, therelore, that I find at my feet a thing of humza_ outline, haying mark and token which may be recog- nized, such as a ribbon with a golden orna- ment attached, and on the ornament the words inseribed— ** La tete tombe, le o@ur reste’? Yes, boy, I am prepared forall that; and with my sword I dig a hole in the sand, high up above the reach of the tides, and there I covcr up that human remnant, after placing the ornament in my bosom; then, having tu- ken the bearings, I plunge into the woods again, and whet my blunted swerd sgainst the first smooth stone I find One object was left mein life. It wore a definite aspect, but the means of obtsining it were difficult and circuitous. For many a month I herded with the Chouans of Bretagne, awild, irregular banditti. The gang I led hovered closer to the enemy than the rest of our adherents, and addicted themselves less to plunder. Something which might be called strategy marked our movements, and the in- formation we acquired from prisoners wae frequently of considerable service to the ca ef the royalists in communication with Pai saye and the British Government Since the discovery of the body, my charac- ter had undergone a change. I was no longer the reckless madman who inspired respect only by his personal daring. My mind now con- trolled without impeding the impetuosity of my animal nature. In particular, a certain tact and subtiety I evinced in the examining of prisoners and deserters caused that depart ment at last to be left exclusively to me; and it was during this poried that I perfected and brought to the condition of a system, that the ory of the investigation of character which I put in practice on my first encountering you Ever and anon I was able to glean somo ia- telligence respecting my enemy. He was near me. When Carrier was superseded at Nantes, he was for a time in disgrace as his friend ; but goon associated himself with Hoche, and distinguished himself, one deserter informed me, by the sanguinary zeal he showed in pro- secuting the design of his chief, which consist- ed, as in La Vendee, in hemming in the rem- nants of the insurgents bya narrowing cordon, out of which they had no possible escape. and within which, unless some sudden blow was struck, they must be all finally enveloped and taken With acounter instinct to mine, he, too, I felt, knew that the man he had wronged was here, and that he must be got rid of, to mak» life safe. This was what infused such uncompromising ferocity into his conduct and gave his acts so sanguinary a complexion, ss to call more than once fore reprizaad and rebuke from his chief.

Desperately we confronted them; but indi- vidual valor conld not make amends for the want of unity of plan. Hoche drove us in ‘rom point to point; and at length, having taken St. Barbe, shut us up in the narrow peninsula of Quiberon, whence we must either escape to the British fleet, or die without hope of quarter. E AY the republican frent closed with us, I became. from day to day, more intimately ac- quainted with Levasseur's movements. E prisoner had something to tell. His blood- thirety ferocity had gained him celebrity amonget them I knew his division. his quar- ters, his assigned place on each dey'smareh— nay, his very uniform, and the color of his horse.

Some time ago, 1 knew « man down at Marblehead Point—a fisherman—a desperate, wicked man, a profane swearer, & drunkard who never darkened the door of & meetin’-bouse, or took delight in holy things Uc had a family—a wile, three sons and two daughtere—all bad as himself; all a going straight down to bell as fast as their degs could carry them. But at last they were brought to their senses in this wise, aud frour limbs of Satan transmogrified into children of light. Once upon a time there was grest trou- ble in the heads of the family. it was long since they had been mowed or raked, and so to speak there was varmin in the grass. They all got desperate uneasy, and to come to the point at ence, there was a loud cry for the fine tooth comb. But, my friends, nobody knew where it was. Itcould'nt be found! Ande it went on from bad to worse. Scratchin’ was of no use—'twas to bad for scratchin’. Lookin wouldn’t do—’twas too bad for lookin’. They hunted everywhere for the old fine-tootb comb—from garret to cellar, and from cellar They ransacked every closet and every drawer, but it couldn't be found.’ Here the preacher aused and looked around, then went on ina low, solemn and emphatic tone: “ At length it was found. Who found it? I don’t know; but it was found, to the great joy and everlasting salvation of that family. And, my friends, whers do you think they found it? I say, where at es think they found it?” A long pause. “ They found it in the old family Bible, (sotto voce.) They found it in the old family Bible, (creseendo.)
