It was night, and the river bank was deserted. The amateur fishermen were gone, and the river sailors were eating supper in their boats on the opposite shore. Saint-Victor seated himself on the declivity and reviewed in his mind all he had heard from Gabrielle. The situation was a serious one, and his first thought was: “Is it loyal, is it honest, to continue see a young lady whose brother is an officer of gendarmerie — a man having for his special mission to arrest the chouans and bring them befere a court-mar tial ?” The marriage dreamed of by Gabrielle seemed to him impossible; he could not help thinking thaaj‘'be wisest course to pursue would be to dis- coi v ?{ ue these visits, that could only have a fa- tai rumination. And yet he felt that he had already lost the control of himself. He loved passionately and sincerely Major Robert’s sister, and he would sooner die than give her up. His love was so ardent that, for a moment, he thought of going at once to Georges Cadcudal, telling him all, and asking him to relieve him of his oath of con- pirator. But lie knew that such a step taken on the eve of a decisive action would be considered cowardice by his general and by his own com rades. One does not resign in presence of the "■nemy. Since he was engaged in the conspir- /, be must go to the end, even at the cost of nis life and happiness. Finding no solution to the dilemm abelore him,he consoled himself with ' e following reasoning; When we shall be through with the First Con sul, and the King shall be back on his throne, J I will be the conqueror, and Robert the con quered. Nothing then shall hinder me from protecting him against my friends, the Royalists, ind asking of him his sister’s hand.” this hope— no little imaginary—he plunged iself in those reveries so dear to lovers, but j*As soon disturbed in his thoughts by Malabry, Wl )0 shook him by the arm, saying: “I went all around, and now I know the park like a bcok.” “How did you get out?” asked Saint-Victor, 1 who did not expect him so soon. 1 “The same way I went in—by the break.” I? “Which break?” H “Y’onder, towards the corner of the wall, here is a place where a few stones have been a ittle dilapidated; I had not much difficulty in lijobing there.

The entrance is hidden under the bushes, and in case of emergency I would have there a sure hiding place. Besides, we could use it as a sort of arsenal where to deposit weapons, clothes, etc.” “ Very well, old feliow, to-morrow night I will need your services.’ prudence, and was determined to counteract it !

The latter, on the contrary, considered that departure most providential, since it gave Cadou- dal plenty of time to accomplish his undertak ing. “Before Major Robert will be back,” he thought to himself, “Bonaparte will be gone and the Royalists in power, which will raise all difficulties.” So he thought it useless to take any precautions. He had no trouble in avoiding explanations, for Gabrielle did not ask for any. All absorbed in the happiness of loving and being loved, she was satisfied with the present, forgetful of the past, and had no uneasiness about the future— and Saint-Victor was in exactly the same dispo sition of mind. The fragile skiff bearing their love was floating smoothly between two flowery shores, down the treacherous current that would lead to a bottomless abyss. Everything rocked them softly in a deceptive security. Their meet ings—which now took place almost every night —had never been disturbed. Surely Malabry was a good sentinel, for, although the rural guards made their rounds as usual, no one had, thus far, surprised the lovers unaware. Two or three times the hooting of the owl—which was the rallying cry of the chouans—gave them warn ing that somebody was coming; but nobody ever went as far as tbe bowlingreen. Saint-Victor, in such instance, left by going between tbe wall and the live hedge, and Gabrielle hid for a mo ment in the thicket. She did not know the sig nal nor who was giving it; Charles Yalreas had only told her that a friend was -watching over them. Anyhow, he did not know much more than herself, not having asked any information from Malably. He met him every morning in the garden of Palais-Royal. Cadoudal's orders began now to have their effect. Every day at 12 o’clock, all the chouans came regularly and took a walk un der the trees in front of Galerie de Valois, seem ingly strangers to each other. Pierre Maneheu had not appeared yet, hut was expected every day. Whenever Saint-Vic tor had agreed with Gabrielle to meet her at night, he found tbe way to let Malabry know it by saying to him, as he passed him in the walk before the Galerie de Valois: * “I’ll want you to-night.” Malabry did not answer, but Saint-Y'ictor was sure he would be at his post at night. How he managed to protect the bowlingreen against all intrusion lie never told, and his friend did not inquire. They both used to come back to Paris together by Saint-Germain stage, which they took at its passage through Bueil. The two friends expected the nightly visits would soon be at an end, on account of the at tack on the First Consul, that could not be de layed much longer. Tney were as anxious to receive Cadoudal’s orders for them to go to the inn of Chant dn Cog as Gabrielle was anxious to see her brother. She had so many things to tell him! One night of the third week of September, she was at Mme. Desrosiers’ who occupied a beautiful apartment in the chateau, and who ‘And what has occurred between them ? ” “Imust first tell you that this terrible boot has shown itself several times. The other guards had already met it, and had been so scared that they ran from it. But Landouiller, who is an old soldier, wished to know a little more about it. Tuesday night, as he was on duty making his round, he found himself face to face with the ghost.” “ Where was that ghost?” “Near the large alley through the lawn, by the path leading to the bowlingreen. As the moon shone, Landouiller had a good opportu nity to examine it. He told me that the appari tion looked like a boot at least fifteen feet high.” “Has Landouiller attacked it?” “He drew his sabre to transfix it, hut the sabre was snatched from his hand, he cannot tell how.” “Then he ran like the others, I suppose,” said the widow, shrugging her shoulders.” “ No, Madame.” answered Mme.

He injected morphine on this occasion, and in a few minutes became alarmed at the con dition of his patient. He at once sent for another physician, who, on his arrival, learned the con dition of things. Noble-hearted man that he was, to save the young man’s, reputation, he pronounced it a case of apoplexy.

He then advised the young man in a friend ly way, to be a little cautious how he used the squirt in the future.” Texas Baptists. As early as 1825, Joseph Bays, of the Baptist church, preached at the house of Moses Shipman on the Brazos, and in 1859, elder Thomas Hanks preached at the same place. A church was or ganized in East Texas in 1837, elder Z. N. Mor rill, (who is still living,) organized a church in Washington. In 1838, elder Isaac Reed organiz ed Union church near Nacogdoches; and in 1839, churches were constituted at Independence, at Travis and at Plain Grove. The Union Association was formed at Travis, Oct. 8th. 1840.

ANOTHER TERRIBLY TRAGICAL CASE is given in which a lady had a pain in one of her sholuders. In the morning, the family physician, a man of knowledge and experience, injected morphine into the arm, and relieved her in a few minutes. “ In the evening he called again, and found his patient well, but thought to secure a good nights, rest, it would be well to inject a little morphine, which he did, and in thirty minutes BIS PATIENT WAS A CORPS.” Dr. Wenger, of Illinois, who reports these cases, makes this commeut: “ I have other cases that I could mention, but these are enough to satisfy me that the hypodermic syringe should not be used when there is any possible way of giving the medi cine in any other way.” Dr. Ingals, of Chicago, to whom the report was made, says that he, and two of his medical friends “ have had unp’easant experiences with the use of morph^i by hypodermic injections.” And then he makes this strong dec laration: “ I am satisfied that no precaution can be taken which will insure us against accidents from this mode of treatment,” And yet, the men who every day give morphine and all kinds of poisonous and dangerous drugs through every avenue of the system, natural and artificial, are horrified at the idea of putting a pa tient with fever into a wet-sheet pack; and some are even afraid to sponge with cold water in such cases, our conferences S lest the patient be chilled too much, or the disease Protestant Episcopal. j Proposed Change of name.—At a recent Conven- j tion of the Diocese of Iowa, it was resolved to pres- j ent a memorial to the General Convention, ask- I ing that the words “Protestant Episcopal ” be | gerous little instrument using it in rhumatism and stricken from the present title of the American i other painful chronic diseases at their own pleas- branch of the Holy Catholic Church, and that it ure and discretion.

But my object in this article is not so much to condemn physicians as to warn the people. Not only is “ almost every physician armed with a hypodermic syringe,” but patients have provided themselves with this dan- know well the attack cannot take place before the 8th; Georges himself told us so.” “Well, what is the matter?

"I want you to keep a good watch around a bowlingreen, where 1 have a redezvous, to-mor row night.” “It is at the end of a long walk that leads to the lawn in front of the chateau.” “Precisely. I see that you have studied the place closely.” “Militarily, by the blue-coats !” “I want you to stand at a little distance, and as soon as you detect a rural guard comiDg, you let me know it by our rallying cry.” “ That’s easy; but that will not stop the guard from going his round, and if he don’t catch you he will at least catch your princess; true, I could get rid of him by twisting his neck” “Nothing of the sort.

Gabrielle did not attend all the soirees given by Mme. Desrosiers; she was a pet of Mme Bo naparte, and she preferred, of course, the com pany of the First Consul’s wife to Mme. Desro siers. But the good Josephine had remained in Paris for a Tuileries reception, and Mile. Robert could dispose of her time. She choose to go to Mme. Desrosiers’ in preference to secluding her self in her room. Moreover, at 12 that night she was to meet Saint-Victor in the park, and she wanted to show herself among tbe crowd before going to her room, and from there to the bowlingreen, through a private staircase lead ing to the apartments below. The company was not numerous, but well selected, for Mme. Desrosiers had the name of receiving none but the best, although her posi tion in the chateau was very little above do mesticity. Among the guests were three ladies of the new court, neither young nor perhaps very elegant, but wives or widows of officers, and, as such, admitted by right to the First Con sul’s receptions.
