Do you see that, father? From that wound my precious life is to pour out—by that means I am to die!” “Are you frantic woman! What do you meant” “Listen'—disturb me not and you shall hear ali.

Also, tbat it is suspected, that even at this Moment there are several sec; @ocieties of copspirators, now plotting for t! same object.

Listen, it was thus “They had commeneed their hellish deed, attended by & fiendish physician, who even bied me till I fainted, when the flow was stopped, and J revived: but, during that faint- +Rg spell, the spiritof my mother appeared to me. and charged me to be composed. tor in that lay my saivation.

However. upon recovering, 1 requested th: eonfessor might be sent for.

My brother then departed, and you came.” Most wondertul!” ~You are here, father, by the direct in My words are the sition of Providence to save me—will you do A «1 will?" exclaimed our friend, with marked , for be mow felt that he was really umentin the hands ofGod. «If you «ap but succeed in delaying their hellish work | one half hour, yon shall be saved.

And with eager hand he drew out a penknite from beneath his robes, and cut of & piece, saying, in his hurried tones, “Now do you manage, while 1 am gone, to defer their | operations for half an hour—just one half beur—and you are saved"” As he ceased he replaced his knife, put the bandage over his eyes, but fixed itso he could see a little im advance of his path; then crush- ng the bloody bandage close with his hand, Which was then thrust under his cloak, he took Bis position by the table, and saying, ake courage. daughter, you shall be saved’ be rang the bell. The door instanudy opened, and in stalked the masked stranger. Are you done, father!” said he. «1 have, my son; she has confessed.’ ‘ Wen and good. There is the puy for your trouble.” Saying which he placed a purse, weighing heavy of gold into the priest’s hand, and then lec bim down several flights of stairs, through - Tound turniugs, ull seddenly the priest beneld the Jight ofthe hallertrance glancing through on the floor at his feet. seeing thishe shgbitly elevated his head that he might see the door in advance. At aglance he saw that it Was large; massive, with smail fluted columus each side between it and the wall This was just as be expected, and just a- he ed it. ss will be seen: for as he reached hich was opened, as before, by a ivery, who stood to one sid= and +88 Wa the custom, to let them pass, he my! pretended toshp and fell forward, by this means forced bis conductor auead of bem, at the same time catching for the door- «ase. as if co stop bis fall.succeeded in slipping the od-stained bandage between it and the side- pillar without being «bserved.

She seemed perfectty calm when they en- tered, and apparently engaged in praver, which they seemed loth to interrupt, so they, in silence, stood by, waiting for ber to finish her devotion. Very near half an hour had elapsed since the priest had lett her presence, and it was with increasing hope that each moment now passed; till presently the physician became impatient, jingled his probe and scalpel to- gether, and at length actually bade her haste. She pleaded, and was again permitted to goon until again interrupted, and again she pleaded & moment more; but he protested and presently bade bis assistants advance with the basin, which was placed beside the bed. Then di- recting eacD to lay bold of her frame on either side he seized her arm, and wasin the very act of reopening the weund, when suddenly the door opened, and in walked—not the count as they suppesed—but a very gentlemanly sort of @ person, all siniles and graces, who excu-ed himself for this intrusion, and then drawing from his pockets three handcuffs, twoof which be jaid upon the table, the other of which he quietly slipped upon the dumb-founded M. D., begging his pardon the while and then turn- ing to the remaining two, who were too ter- Tified to flee, he used them precisely in the same way, and then handed them over to seve- ral similar individuals who just then ap- peared atthe door, with the connt in their custody. They all knew their tate, as they submitted without a murmur. Asthey were led down the hall, they met their friend th- priest, who politely recog- nized the count with a bow, and then passed on to the chamber. Here he found the young thus marvellously rescued from certain death. But she was insensible, through a combination of terror, exhaustion and joy He was not long, however. im restoring her; and then— Weil, we shall not pause here to describe the seene that ensued, or recapitulate the many words of thanks and gratitude she poured out upon the worthy priest, who was to tell the truth, as Bappy as she. Suffice it then to say, they parted very good friends. and ina short time after, he officiated at a marriage, where, it Was reported by the crowds of Republicans who so delighted to level all distinction, that a sous lieutenant was wedéed to a countess of great wealth, and that report, it is unnecessary to say, Was true. The count and his companions were incar- cerated in the jail, and that is the last that was ever known ofthem. Hence it will be seen how rapid and sure were the French police, who with no other clue than a bit of blood stained bandage inthe door-way of a honse somewhere within the limits of Paris, su eveded in the short space of half an oour, ferreting out and bringing the offenders of the law to its tribunal. ——+20e + Hanging a Wife. Another alleged attempted murder is engag- ing the attenuon of the good people of Hudson, Michigan. Thomas Penneji. residing about one mile north of the village, 18 accused by his wife with having.on Wed: + enticed her to the barn aod up and into the hay, and there throwing & noose sround her neck, and pushing her off the hay, suspending her over tke floor. Mrs. Pennell says she kept her hands about ber neck =o that the rope did not tighten as she swung off and that she chanced to get her feet upon «board thatiay up frem the floor, and then succeeded in slipping the rope off, ran out of the barn and cried murder. The neighbors heard the cries and hastened to the barn, but could find neither Mr. nor Mrs. P., she having gone to a neighbor's housein another direction, when she told the story substantially as above, Pennell come to the same house soon after, and upon being informed where she was, went on towards home, but came back soon after, The parties arriving at the barn found the Tope suspended from the beam above, and «with blood upon the noose. The board and the hay in the mow was also piled up high directly opposite the rope, and within reach ofit. They also found Mrs. P.’s apron on the barn floor with the strings tornon. Upon examination ot Mrs. P. her head and tace were found much bruised, and there was evident marks of a rope about the neck, and under the ear, the skin being broken near the ear. Mr. Penneti claims that she coaxed him to the baru, and that the first he knew she was swinging in the rope, and he took her down, and that be did not know how the rope came there. A little girl five or six years old, was left in the house alone; a son, about fifteen years eld, had gone to his sister’s to stay all might, and another son, about ten years old, had bern sent by his father to stay ail night with a neighbor's boy. Mr. and Mrs. P. were about tr rd of age, and have raised a large family of children. y have not lived agre- ably for many years, Mr. Pennell and some of the children claiming that Mrs. P. is {crazy Last spring he made application to have her conveyed to the lunatic asylum. Many ot her neighbors, however claim that she ts not insane butbas been abused. What the trath of this whole matter is, ft is now impossfble to say.
