For tbe Journal sud Messenger. THE RACK FOB WEALTH, PLACE, ATD POWER. BT JACK DOBELL. Down! down with the safety-valye! Give her more steam, boys; We will ne’er win this race if we longer delay; And whip up still faster, that “two-forty” team, boys. For wealth. Place and Power we must hasten away! Don't mind that poor wretch who is crushed by your wheels, boys, Let him writhe in his anguish upon the cold ground; The man in whose breast there’s a heart that still feels, boys, With the winners of Fortune will never be found. Come! give her more steam; let the nag* have the reins, boys! Never halt for the laggards that block up the way; Right over them go, scattering bones, limbs and brains, boys, “Every one for himself!” is onr motto to day. Never flinch at that hedge, it is but the dim line, boys, ’Twixt the domainsof Honesty, Virtueand Vice; Place, Power and Wealth on the other side shine, boys, And there's truth in the adage, “Each man has hi* price.” Hurry up! hurry up! by fair means or foul, boys, W’e must distance the crowd that are struggling behind; Take every short cut, tho’ the honest may scowl, boys, We’ll not care for their frowns with onr “pockets well lined.” Hurra! we have won!

AO TIME LIKE TIIE OLD TIME. BT OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. There’s no time like the old time, when you and I and I were young; When the bud* of April blossomed, and the birds of spring-time sung! The garden’s brightest glories by summer suns are nursed; But, on, the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers that opened first! There’s no place like tho old place, where you and I were born; Where we lifted first our eyelids on the splendors of the morn, From the milk, white breast that warmed us, rom the clinging arms that bore; Where the dear eye glittered o’er us, that will look on us no more! There’s no love like the old love, that we courted in our pride, Though our leaves are falling, falling, and we’re fading side by side ; There are blossoms all around us with the colors of our dawn, And we live in borrowed sunshine when the light of day is gone. There are no times like the old times—they shall never he forgot! There’s no place like the old placo—keep green the dear old spot! There are no friends like the old friends—may Heaven prolong their lives ! There are no loves like our old loves —God bless our loving wives! The Traveler’s Last Inn, OK THE INN KEEPER OF bAUVERONE lly the Author of the “ Orange Girl of Venice.” “ In which case,” continued the inn keeper, in tho same long drawn tone, “ Prussia will at last bo rid of one of the most rascally highwaymen that ever infested her roads.” “Ah 1” observed my companion, calm ] y- “ Yes, Prussia will rejoice, for then the lust of her great rascals will have been swept away.” “Indeed! to whom do you allude?” “It is impossible for you not to com prehend me. I speak of tho highway man. Prussia unfortunately knows many ; but they are small operators, mere nobodies, compared with him of whom all Prussia speaks with horror and affright. Men speak of him as the highwayman. Besides his deeds, the crimes of the entire robber horde of the country sink into insignificance.” “ 1 am so very ignorant,” persisted my companion, “and so great a stran ger to this part of the country, having but recently arrived here, that I must still plead my utter inability to compre hend |yoii.” “ What! You mean to say that you do not know this great robber, with whose name every child in Prussia is familiar ?” “ I mean to say so.” “ And yet you are a Prussian ?” “Tis true, I am a Prussian.” “ Then you are a mystery,” replied the inn keeper, sarcastically. “ So be it,” replied the other with a laugh. “ Nevertheless, lam anxious to learn the name of this great highway man, whose crimes are so well known in Prussia, that they strike terror to the hearts of all ages and sexes, and for whose head the scatfold of Fredrick are so impatiently waiting.” “ llis name—you wish to know his name ?” “ Have I not said so ?” “ You wish me to pronounce it here, before this gentleman, your compan ion ?” continued the inn-keeper, malic iously. “ Certainly. My friend hero has stout nerves, of which I have had good proof, within the last few hours, and will not faint on hearing it. He is no woman, and can listen to the most frightful things without shuddering. Give us the name of this terrible high wayman, by all means.” “ The name, then gentlemen, of this man of a thousand crimes—the name of this great criminal, held in such utter horror and detestation, throughout all Prussia—the name of this terrible man, whose infamous history is in the mouths of all—the name of this monstrous be ing, whom the laws have long since prejudged, and for whose capture there is a standing offer of three thousand thalers, to any man or body of men who will deliver him into the hands of a magistrate—the name of this man, for whom the prison yawns and the scaf fold halts, is—” “ Ruder!" interrupted my traveling companion, with a laugh, as he empti ed his glass.—“ That is capital beer.” “Ha! you know his name at last!” said the inn-keeper, with a sneering smile. “Certainly,” returned the other, coolly. “ You dragged in the details— details that I have heard so often—so eloquently, I could not help recalling it So, you think there is now hope that Prussia will soon be rid of Kuder— .Ruder, for Jwhose capture and arrest there is a standing reward of three thousand thalers ?” “Os course. He is the greatest rogue in the country, and now that the King has resolved to put the laws, relative to criminals, in force, Kuder being the greatest, of course cannot escape.” “0, indeed ! But how comes it that ho is so likely to be caught note ? 1 thought, and report will sustain the idea, that Kuder has not been seen in Prussia for the last seven years.” “ It is true,” returned the inn-keeper ; “ but I have good authority for suppos ing that he has been seen in Prussia within the last ten days.” “ Ha,” exclaimed my traveling com panion, with a slight start. “Isit so ? Whence came the news ?” “ I read it, as you came in, in paper.” “ The name of the paper?” “The Anhalt Courier.” “ So, so. On learning his arrival, why did they not arrest him ?” “ They learned it not till he had made his way out of the town in which he was recognized.” “ Ha! he was recognized, then ?—By whom ?” f “A former comrade.” “ Humph ! Then the authorities are, it is to be inferred, by this time, on his track ?” “ Doubtless. The reward is great, and the highwayman without money, arms, or friends.” And the inn keeper bent his eyes upon my companion, with what seemed to me a malignantly triumphant smile. The latter, however, having his eyes down in thought, did not perceive it. At length, raising his heal, and gazing steadily at the inn-keeper, he observed : “ It would be a rare sight if one prison should receive mine host of the Inn of Sauvergne and Ruder the highwayman. Rarer still, if one scaffold should hang them.” “Very—very rare!” returned the inn-keeper, with a smile so ghostly that I trembled while I looked at him. “If I remember,” continued my traveling companion, with a strange light in his eye, “ five thousand thalers, and a free pardon to any criminal, are offered for his head, dead or alive. Am I no right ?” “ There is a report to that effect,” muttered the inn-keeper, with a cough. “ Together with a thousand dollars in addition, for each of his infamous family. Am I right?” “ I believe so.” “ There are six persons in his family.” “ Nay, only five—his wife is dead.” “ Well, say there are five. Shall I name them ?”- “ Nay, that is your affair, not mine.” “ Perhaps so. There are five, then— the inn-keeper, two daughters and two sons. Have I named them right ?” “ Granting that you have, what then?” “ Here, then, are two parties, for whom the King offers an aggregate of thirteen thousand thalers —three thous and for the highwayman and ten thous and for the criminals of the Traveler’s Last Inn. Now, then, here are two parties, whose mutual interest it is to sustain and defend each other; for both stand within the grasp of the law, and both Will, if arrested, be slung from tho scaffold.” “ But how can they assist each other?” asked the inn-keeper, eagerly. “ Both have talent, courage, and power. Qualities, which, if united, will effectually keep at bay all tho power of the police.” “ Nay, you mistake. Ruder is with out money or arms ; he is but just ar rived in the country, and is, therefore, without power or comrades. It seems to me, then, that all the talent, courage, and power, lie on one side.” “ You know nothing of his power or his plans, and, therefore, can form no opinion in the matter. At all events, come what may, of the two pai’ties, Ruder is the safest. The danger, if the king carries It is threats into effect, is to the parties of the Sauvergne inn, and not to the highwayman.” The inn keeper laughed. “ Well,” said ho, “ we’ll not argue the question. Let the people of the inn, as well as the highwayman, settle their own business with the king.— They’ll be brought together soon enough. Who can tell what a day may bring forth ?” “Precisely,” said the other, rising. “ But come, the hour grows late, and I must rise with the dawn. My com rade and I will retire. Show us to our chamber.” “ Stay,” said the inn-keeper, “ you forget your purses and valuables.” “ What of them ?” said my comrade. “ You know it is customaiy for trav elers, on retiring for the night, to leave thoir money and their valuables at tho bar. My daughters will give you a receipt for them. In the morning you will return the receipt, and again receive your deposits.” “ Faith,” said my companion, wink ing at me silly, “ I have nothing to leave. In coming through the forest, the wolves made for us, and we were compelled to throw away every thing that stood in tbe way of our flight.” “ But you have pistols, knives—” “ No, by my faith; nor anything else. The wolves made us part with every thing, save change enough to pay for our lodgings, and a meal or two. Good-night ” “ Good-night,” returned the inn keeper, in a tone of disappointment. We followed a young man, who pre ceded us with a lamp, up three flights of stairs, to a chamber, having in it a large double bed and a small dressing table that stood between two chairs. The young man set the lamp upon the table, and asked us if we had any further orders. “ None,” said my companion. The attendant then vanished, after carelessly closing the door. My companion pointed me to a chair, and then threw himself upon the other. “ Your name,” he said, in a low, cautious tone. “ Louis Vergniand. And yours ?” “ Herman Graff. Remember it, as I shall remember yours.” “ But why—” “ You will understand it in a mo ment. Do you know where we are ?” “ Os course.” “ Where are we, then ?” “ At Berse.” “ Hush ! I think I hear footsteps.” He rose softly and put his ear to the key-hole. “ Did you hear any thing ?" said I, as lie returned to his chair. “Yes—but no matter. Things will go on as they will. I asked you if you knew where we were.” i l You did, and 1 replied, at Berse.” Herman laughed ; but never before had I heard a laugh so much resemble the hoarse wail of one in agony, and the blood rushed coldly through my heart. , , “ What if I tell you that I discovered the character of the town, and recog nized the features of our entertainers, immediately on entering the inn ?” “ What then ?” said I, somewhat con fused and frightened by his manner. Herman groaned impatiently. « Mari! man!” he exclaimed, “ will you not understand ? We are not at Berse.” “ Not at Berse ?’’ I responded fear fully. “ For heaven’s sake where are we then ?” “ At Sauvergne.” “ Great God! and this is—” “ The Traveler’s Last Inn,” he re plied, mournfully. “ Let us fly!” I cried, starting up in wild alarm. “We are not sufficiently armed —let us fly !” I made a movement for the door, but he laid one hand upon my arm to ar rest my steps, and the other on my lips to warn me to silence. “ Hush! not so loud. They are five, we are only two. The odds are against us, for the girls are as strong, keen and active as the father and sons. Besides, all chance of egress is, and has been from the moment we entered, eut off. They stand between us and the door arm ed like assassins, as they are, to the teeth. We may yet escape, but it must be by stratagem, not force.” “ Try the window, then. O, heaven ! must I die, and yet so young 1” “ Hush ! be a man 1” cried Herman, throwing aside the curtain of the win dow. “ Look !” he exclaimed, holding up the lamp. I looked and shuddered. The win dow was nailed down, and through the panes a heavy range of iron bars, like those fronting the cells of a prison, ran up and across the frame. “ The door,” I exclaimed, staggering back at the sight. Herman flew to the door. It was fast, and all his activity or strength could not make it budge or give a hair. “ We are lost!” I cried, falling into a chair. “ Not yet,” said Herman, calmly. “ The crisis, however, is certainly ap proaching. But till it shall have come and left us corpses, we must not despair. We must think—we must collect all our energies and our faculties, and think. Yes, we must keep cool and think.” He was himself far from calm. His fine, manly features were as pale as a shroud; his dark hair hung ropily around his brow ; beads of cold 6weat were visible at every pore, his nerves shook painfully. He dropped for a few moments on the side of the bed facing the door, and covered his eyes with his hands. My own agitation passed away in looking upon his. In a few moments he removed his hands and raised his head ; and then, to my amazement, all traces of his ag itation had passed away. His features were still pale, indeed, more so than before, but his nerves were calm and stern as iron, and the beads of cold sweat had vanished. “ Let us prepare for the crisis,” said he, rising and seating himself on his chair. “ Get ready your pistols and your knife.” I made no reply, but proceeded to follow his suggestion. In a few moments, as far as defend ing ourselves with our arms was con cerned, we were ready. “We must make up our minds to pass the night without sleep,” said my companion, “or else run the chance of sleeping forever.” “ I am prepared,” said I, resignedly. “ And I,” replied Herman. “ Now listen. If it be my fate, in the conflict that is coming, to fall, and yours to es cape, I have a favor to ask of you.” “ Name-it.” “ In the town of Picardy, France, I have an estate, valued at two hundred thousand francs. By using my name, any citizen of that town will 4>oint it out to you.” “ Well!” “ At Berse, by careful inquiry, you will find a poor, lone widow by the name of Ruder—she is my mother. Do, not start, for I guess your thought and pardon it. You will seek out this poor widow, tell her of my end, convey her with what despatch you can to Picardy, and after paying yourself freely for your time and trouble, put her in pos session of my property. Do you under stand me ?” “ Yes.” “ Wiil 3 r ou do this ?” “ Yes.” “ Thank you— thank you !” Tie took my hand and grasping it warmly, turned away his head and wept. “ And you,” he said, at length ; “have you nothing to say, nothing that I can do for you, if you should fall, and I live ?” “ Nothing,” said I. “Nothing!” he exclaimed, looking at me, in surprise. “ Nothing,” I replied. “ I am a mere clerk, traveling from town to town, and village to village, to extend the country correspondence of my em ployer. 1 have no kindred living, nor friends that care for me. I owe no man, and all the trouble my death would create would be the burial of my bod} r , and the necessity, on the part of 1113- employer, of appointing another in my stead. " If you will write to him the fact of my death, ’tis all that will be necessary.” “ His address ?” “M. Lescois, Paris.” “Enough. It shall be done. Now, farewell!” We fell on each other’s breasts, shook each other warmly by the hand, and seperated. As w T e parted, Herman pointed si lently to the bed. It was slowly sinking through the floor ! We looked at each other. “ The work of blood has begun,” said Herman, in a fearful whisper. “ Death is here, as well as on 3*ou couch. Deliverance is not here, and it ma3 T be where that couch will lead us. Dare you tiy it ?” “I dare!” “Enough. Follow me.” We threw ourselves carefully upon the bed, in the attitude of men in a profound slumber, with our armed hands concealed between us and the coverlid. The couch continued to descend very gently, noiselessly and slowly—down ! down! down! CHAPTER 111. It seemed to me an age. I would have given worlds, w T ere it in my pow er, to have had our descent accelerated, and our fate hastened. But it was not -to be. We were to suner the agony of uncertainty and protracted doom. Wo continued to descend, slowly as before, and as noiselessly—with noth ing to meet us on the way—no light, no executioner, to break the monotony of our agony. I at length resigned myself silently to the terrible torture, and threw out my hand. It struck against a wall. By the feeling in my knuckles, I was sud denly rejoiced to find that we had be gan to descend faster than before. “Thank God!” I involuntarily ex claimed aloud; “we are nearing our journey’s end f” “ Hush!” whispered my companion ; “we are nearing a vault. Be ready for a spring.” My mind was made up, my trust put in my destiny, and I felt no longer the length of time consumed by the descen sion of the bed. In a few minutes the air came sweep ing all about us. “ We are in the vault,” whispered my companion. “Spring, in God’s name !” He passed over me and left ; aud I immediately followed in his wake. “ Your hand, and tread cautiously,” whispered Herman. We had scarcely passed on twenty paces, in the darkness, when the rays of a*foreh illuminated the vault. “Stoop, and crawl forward,” whis pered my companion. We fell upon our knees, and, side bj* side, crawled forward. “ Our victims are in the toils,” said a voice behind us. Unconsciously, I turned my head, and beheld five persons descending a flight of stairs, immediately behind the bed. They descended slowly, and approach ed the bed. One of the party raised a torch on high, while the others raised their hands. “ Now !” cried a voice. And five hands, each armed with a poignard, immediately fell upon the couch. No groan followed; and discovering the state of things, everything was in a state of wild confusion. “Furies!” cried a voice ; “ they have escaped ! They must be here—spread through the vault!” In a moment, we heard steps behind, beside, and ahead of us. There was but one torch, however, to guide them, and they made but slight progress. “ Run,” cried a voice, which I imme GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER. diately recognized as that of the inn keeper; “run for more lights!” Meanwhile, we crept toward the right side of the vault, and crept into a niche that was made in the wall. Leaning back, we felt a dead weight upon our backs, and we stooped forward gently, to shake it off. The next moment, a fall, like that ol two solid bodies, fell to the earth. The effusion that imme diately' afterward saluted our nostrils, warned us of the terrible fact that it was two corpses that we had so uncer emoniously disturbed. Unable to endure the terrible stench before us, we stole simultaneously from the niche, and passing to the left, dropp ed upon our knees. At this moment, another light ap peared upon the staircase, together with a form, which, despite the long robe enveloping it from neck to heel, we were assured was that of a female. In a few moments the woman passed us, to assist her companions. Still, creeping through the gloom, we con tinued to crawl forward toward the staircase. “Ho ! come forth, or expect no mercy!” suddenly cried the voice of the inn-keeper. A short pauso succeeded. Mean while, we continued our course, till we had reached the earth immediately un der the couch. “We must smoke them out,” contin ued the inn-keeper. “ Ho, Hans, run up and bring the sulphur ; we’ll give them a foretaste of ” A light danced in the gloom ; it ap proached, and in a few moments a young man, bearing a torch, came near us; a moment more, and he ascended the stairs. Herman laid his hands significantly upon m3' arm. Meanwhile, the voice of the inn-keep er broke through the gloom, command ing us to come forth. • We crawled from our hiding place, and got under the staircase. Before us, the vault stretched far awa3', till the light looked like a star in the midst of a vast room, and the as sassins had dwindled into dwarfs. Sud denly, we heard footsteps on the stair case. It was one of the assassins bring ing down the sulphur. “ For the last time,” cried the inn keeper, “ will 3 T e come forth?” A dead silence followed. “ Bring hither the sulphur,” contin ued the iim-keeper; “we’ll strangle them!” The 3 r oung man approached him, with a pail in one baud, and torch in the other. At this moment, we crept from un der the stairs and slowly ascended the steps. “ They want it, and they shall have it!” cried the inn-keeper, with an oath. And ho began, slowty, to drop the sulphur in a line, backing meanwhile toward the stairs, followed by his com panions, whose arms were lifted ready for a blow, and whose e3 T es wandered uneasily around them, in search of the victims who were now beyond their reach. The parties reached the stairs, with the long sulphurous train marking the course they had pursued. “ For the last time,” again cried the voice of the inn-keeper, throwing down the pail, and seizing a torch, “ will ye come forth, ere I set fire to the train ?” No voice responded to his appeal, and the torch fell upon the yellow track. The assassins sprang up the stair case ; but at that moment the door above was closed and bolted upon them, with a loud noise. “ Trapped ! snared !” fell faintly on our ears, and then all was silent. CHAPTER IV. We listened a moment at the crevices of the door, but save a few low groans, like those of persons in the last stage of human agon3', we heard nothing. “ They are caught in their own snare,” muttered my companion. “ For the present, we are safe. We have now but one difficult}'.” “And that is—” “To reach the traveler’s room. If we find a light there, all is well.” We groped our wa3' along the wall till we came to an opening. Turning, this, we soon reached an entr3', faintly lighted by a lamp from a contiguous appartment. Following the light, we soon found ourselves in the traveler’s room. Save ourselves, it was devoid of hu man beings. A clock hung over the bar, and the hour hand was on the point of two. “We are up early,” said Herman, with a strange smile. “ And earty ris ing deserves to be rewarded ; what will 3 r ou drink?” “ Brand3’,” I replied, with a faint smile ; “my nerves want something,” He placed a bottle before me, togeth er with a glass. I filled a bumper, and drank. He followed suit, then returned the bottle and glasses to their places. We now seated ourselves to converse, and arrange our plans. “We have escaped,” said Herman, grasping my hand. “ Let us congratu late each other.” “ But we are not yet out ofSauvergne,” said I, warningly. “ ’Tis true. But shall we quit it im mediately, or wait for the earliest of dawn to assist us ?” “ Can we then quit the inn without being seen ?” “I think so. It will be light enough at four, and the people in this section never rise till five. We shall therefore have the friendly aid of daylight, and be a good long w r ay out of town before the waking of the people.” “So be it, then. We’ll wait till the opening of the dawn.” We passed the intervening time in re viewing the events ofthe night, and in dwelling on our plans. Ere we were aware of it, the first grey streaks of morning came stealing through the panes above the door. We hurried forth, and locking the doors behind us, took the road to An halt. It was hard on to noon when we en tered the town. The clock was just ut tering the hour, as we crossed the thres hold of the chief magistrate’s office, in which we found assembled a crowd of some thirty or forty persons. A man was making a deposition be fore the magistrate, who was listening intently to every word, while a clerk was busily engaged in transferring it to paper. My companion elbowed his way through the crowd, to the desk, and with his hat in his hand, took his posi tion. Herman cast his eyes incidently upon the latter, and then colored to the tem ples. Determined to understand the cause ot this, I walked around the crowd till I was in a line with them ; and then in the stranger, making the deposition, I recognized the taceof the miller, whom we had passed the day before, in the forest. At this moment, he had deposed to all he had to say, and he turned casual ly, and his eyes fell on Herman. In a moment, his features became suffused with a death-like paleness, his eyes dropped as if they had encounter ed some terrible enemy, and his limbs were seized with a deep trembling. “My God!” he exclaimed, in a low, trembling voice, “ ’tis he—’tis Kuder !” Ruder !” exclaimed the magistrate, starting up, and staggering back. “ Where ?” “ There!" exclaimed the miller, point ing to Herman. In an instant, the court was in a state of the wildest confusion. All started back from where Herman stood, as if a shell had fallen among them. Some fled; but in another moment, at a sign from the magistrate, five men, whose official badge proclaimed their charac ter, suddenly precipitated themselves upon my late companion, and bore him to the floor. He made no resistance, and they forced him into an adjoining room, where he was immediately chained, hand and foot, and all power of defence, even if he felt so inclined, taking away from him. All this passed so suddenly, that it seemed to like a dream. So sudden had been the discovery, action, and arrest, and the consequent excitement attending it, that, when the door was locked Hpon the highwayman, every face in court was as pale as ashes. Having collected my wits, I now ad vanced toward the desk, and bending over, whispered a few words in the magistrate’s car. “A few words in private, sir?” he said. “ Certainly, sir.” “Follow me.” He turned to a room toward the left, into which we entered. We seated our selves, and I gave him a detailed his tory of the events that had transpired, from the moment that I picked up my companion at the Lergue Inn, down to the time we had entered the court, a few minutes before. The magistrate listened attentively, and when I had finished, said : “What, then, was your object in coming hither?” “ To obtain a posse of soldiers, to go back to Sauvergne, and arrest the inn famous inn-keeper and his family.” “ And this was Ruder’s sole object ?” “No. He wished also to take advan tage of the pardon offered, for the cap ture and arrest of the infamous inn keeper, to release himself from the pen alty due his former crimes, lie is now, and has t»een ever since he left Prussia, seven years ago, a reformed man. His object, in returning to Berse, at the risk of discovery, arrest and punishment, was to see his aged mother, and carry her with him to his estate in Picardy, where he could atone, by love and gen tleness in the future, for the heartburn ings and miseries he had caused her in the past. He cares nothing for the high reward offered by the king, for the capture of the infamous host of the Sauvergne Inn ; and if he should receive it, would, I feel persuaded, turn it all back, as a free gift, into the hands of the magistrate by whose sagacity and assistance he was enabled to capture the assassins.” This explanation and appeal, partic ularly the closing clause of the latter, had the desired effect; for while one touched the heart, the other touched the pocket, of the worthy official, and all promised well. “ The troops shall be ready immedi ately,” said the magistrate, rising to leave the room, and give the order; “ and 1 will accompany you my'self to the scene, that I maybe enabled to cer tify to the facts you have bo clearly laid before me. But you are certain, you say,” he added in a whisper, (the room was dimly lighted, and thus en abled the worthy official to hide his blushes,') “ that, if everything turns out well for him, Ruder will, on receiving the pardon and reward, be satisfied to receive the first and make me a present of the latter?” “ I will guaranty it to you.”. “Enough. We’ll attend to it imme diately. Meanwhile, while I am en gaged in summoning the troops, and preparing for our departure, you may go into Ruder’s room and have a chat with him. If you feel so disposed, you may mention to him the arrangement you have entered into, in his name with me, and if he fully agrees, you will, on coming out, re-enter the court, with your hat under your left arm. I will understand the sign, and, depend upon it, everything shall turn out satisfac torily.” We quitted the room, and, on reen tering the court, I passed immediately into the chamber in which Herman was confined. I told him of my proposition and ar rangement with the magistrate, and of the latter’s promise that everything should turn out well. Ruder was very much affected, and expressed his gratification by r silently wringing my hand. After a few moments further con verse, I left him, to finish the object of our journey. I gave the magistrate —whose inquir ing ey'e anxiously met mine, and who was read}' and equipped for our march to Sauvergne —the signed agreed upon, and a smile lit up his fat, rosy features. We started immediately, on horse back, with a mounted posse of fifty' well-armed men, and reached our des tination about five in the afternoon. Thirty men w'ere immediately plac ed on duty around the building, while the worthy' magistrate and my'self, backed by twenty more, entered the inn, whose infamous character invested it with so much interest. We started immediately for the vault; and provided with torches, cautiously descended. We found the assassins stretched upon the earth, near the base of the stairs. Though insensible, they still lived, and were immediately Tinea ana borne up to the traveler’s room, and temporarily' laid upon the table, while the magistrate, myself, and half a dozen soldiers, proceeded to make a hasty examination of the vault. This done we hastened up stairs and while a cart was being got ready' to convey the prisoners to Anhalt, the magistrate busied himself in placing seals upon the door. In a few minutes everything was in readiness, and we again put ourselves in motion and hurried back to Anhalt. In a few days, the assassins of the Sauvergne Inn, paid on the scaffold, in the presence of assembled thousands, the penalty of their many crimes. As the magistrate promised “every thing went well.” Ruder was pardon ed ; and it is in his house at Bicardy, where, since the above events, I have been enjoying all the felicity' that wealth, and the gratification of every desire, can give to life, that I now pen the closing lines of this narrative.
