Yes, under tho windows of the Marchioness Alcanza.” Alvirno turned pale, bis lips trembled convul sively, bis whole frame was agitated by strong emotion, but ho struggled hard to conceal all out ward indications of his feelings. lie at length sat down again. “You see that I haven’t lost my time," contin ued Cellini, who hsd not remarked the Count’s sodden change. “I am ou the scent of a love af fair, which will no doubt furni-h me with some excellent scenes. I had already remarked this Marlisno, on account of his being so very agly; he looks like the impenitent thief, in my idea. See ing him continually in tho company of the Mar chioness, who, by-the-by, appears to bate him, I at first took him for her busbaud, but l was mis taken; there is a secret about it, which you must help me to penetrate.” It was indeed a secret; bat it was not only now that the Count desired to discover it. Tho marchioness had been about three months at Albano. She had come alone aud was ill. A), viruo had done his best to avoid her; indeed he let no opportunity pass of showing his aversion, when chance threw them together; but the you og widow did her best to overcome tho hatred, the cause of which, she really was nr appeared to bo ignorant of. Subsequently, the Count's coldness bad yielded to the marks of interest which he had received from the marchioness, aud eveotonlly, a sortot intimacy, w-hich became more fomilinr ev ery day, sprang up between them. He felt that this woman exercised more influence over him ev ery lime ho saw her; that tiis existence was, as it were, incomplete without her society; aod that, iu short, bis happiness depended ou the continuance oi that friendship which had ao strangely aud so unexpectedly nriseu out of bis former dislike. Ho was on the point of telling her so one day, when Marliano arrived. At the sight of thismau Bianca was confused; she welcomed him with con cealed affright; there arose a sort of mutecombat between them iu which theyouug widow was van quished. Alvirno then remarked that she nvoideu him.— It seemed to him as if this Marliano oxerciscd a sort of jealous guardianship over her, to which she submitted, but against her will. What connexion could there exist hot ween these two beings 7— Cellini's story cleared up all doubts, bnt he could not bring himself to pul faith iu the conclusion which it eeemod to warrant. Then who was Mar- liano? Alvirno had in vain endeavored to study this man’s character: ull bis advances were met with distant civility, indeed the marchioness al ways interfered to put au end to any discussion which might arise between them; she seemed to fear tbeir coming in contact with each other. Such was the state of things, when one doy, tho count on descending into the garden rather earlier than usual, met the youug widow alone. It was the first timo sinco the arrival of Marliano, and he resolved to profit by it. After several useless at tempts to discourse uu indifferent topics, finding that ho became more and moreombarrassed, he nt lost suddenly stopped, and taking the hand oi tho marchioness— *■ Wbat havo you against me?” said he, “and why do you avoid me 1” “ j avoid you !” repeated she," what can induce list opening a large *li•• . u’ :1hj above atnml. on Mul n* before,«hall receive prompt att .'•Irwt, l.nvv, llctlicxsl. hum ■'•rallaesea.

For more than a fortnight this is tho first time I have been able to speak to you. I cannot deny my faults, or conceal :uy thoughts. It is true that your name awakened in me a painful emotion at first, und that I did not attempt to hiJe it. But if such be I the cause of your coldners towards me, which h»s succeeded so suddenly to your prior affability, you punish too cruelly a prejudice which your pre- 1 seuce has sufficed to dissipate.” 1 “ And may 1 ntk what this prejudice might he?” I “ Where I refuse to give you the explanation ' you demand, you might tie inclined to suppose that j it arose from some injurious repunguance ou my I p, r t; but your presence renewed u seusation of kept up a regular correspondence, for wo could not forget the happy days of our boyhood. I heard that be lived respected by all who xuew him at G^iioa. About a year back I heard that he had fallen in love with a girl, beautiful, admired, aud courted by all. Two of my letters remained un answered; at last I received one from his mother; —his love had been fatal to him.” “Aud your friend was colled—” “Julio Aldi.” Ou hearing this name, n cry of agony escaped the marchioness. The conn' however proceeded. “It was then that I heard yon r name pronounc ed for the first time—but seeing that tho marchio ness had buried her face in her hands,—“Pardon me, madam,’ continued he, in a tone of aupplica- tinn, “I have nfllicted yon, but it was unavoidable. Now you aro aware why I wished to avoid a per son whose presence recalled tome the melancholy death of my friend.” “How you must have hated me!” exclaimed Bianca, bathed in tears. “ No, madam, for I know that yon did every thing in your power to prevent their duel, that you even went to the place of rendezvous.” “ Too late, sir—loo late!” “ The fault was not yours, and Aldi’s mother rendered yon foil justice; she did not accuse yon even in the agony of her grief, but tho young man’s imprudence, which had exposed him to tho Baron Rocca’s sword. Ah! bow often have I con derailed him for having ventured, in the chances of a duel, a life full of hope for the future ! I then did uot know how jealously can excite to auger. Now I comprehend why Aldi preferred certaio death to tortures like these; for I, a mau of dreamy reveries as I am, who never touched a sword in my life—I feel a thirst for shedding blood ! A challenge is ever on iny lips, and I wish to bo placed opposite my adversary—rival, it may be, sword in hand, to acquire the right of Iovfog ex clusively to myself.” The marchiouess bad insensibly drawn closer to him. Her looks were fixed on the poet’s dejected counteusnce with an iudescribable expression of compassion, while she spoke in a voice trembling with emotion, “Good heavens! wbut is Ihe matter with you ?—tell me—tell me !” Bianca !” exclaimed he, “have I understood yon? Speak, I beseech you,—for pity’s sake, speak!" The marchioness was about to reply; but she suddenly uttered a cry of horror, and tore herself Irom bis embrace. The count raised his eyes; Marliano was standing at the cornor of the par terre. The Genoese bowed coldly. On seeing him. the marchioness had fallen back on the bench motionless; he advanced, and without appearing to notice her emotion, inquired after her health with impassible politeness. As for Alvirno, the arrival of this man at the moment he was about to receive an avowel he had so long and so ardently sought for, bad at first drawu from him a gesture of anger; but bis atten tion was soon attracted towards Bianca, who by her looks seemed to be supplicating Marliano. Alvirno felt all bis donbis return ; nu invincible Instinct pointed out this mau to him as u rival, and heresolved to do his utmost to verify his suspicions. He observed to the marchiouess that it was lime to go to the spriug, and he offered to escort her there. “I thank you,” said the marchioness with era. borrassment; “I remain here, but do not let me interfere with your arrangements.” “My arrangements are yours, madam,” said the Couui; “you know it—the only hours I enjoy aro those which I puss with you.” “Sir!” exclaimed the marchioness, terrified; and then she turned her eyes npou Marliano, but he remained calm and motionless. Alvirao had watched her looks and her move ments. “Y’ou will excuse me,” rejoined he, turning to wards tho Geuoese; “such confessions are uot usually made in the presence of a third person; I have doubtless been indiscreet. Marliano bowed. “ I feel happy,” said ho. Count, to have iuspired you with au mnch confi dence as to induce you to make such au avowal of your sentiments in my preseuce.” The irony with which this had been pronounced, had something so cold, so pierciug about it. that it produced on Alvirno the effect of those wuands we do uot feel at first; but when he understood the lull force of it, a blush of indignation caused bis very blood tu boil; bis eyes met those of Marli ano. Biauca threw herself between these two glances in which were exchanged feelings of the most deadly hatred. “We well kuow your gallantry. Count,” said she; “but we have bad quite enough of that chap ter to day.” The Count made an effort at calmness, and took his leave. Marliano was about to follow him -Signor Marliano!” exclaimed the marchioness, “you promised to read uie a lesson.” The Geuoese turned towards her, a sardonic smile plsy ed round his mouth. “Are you so much afraid lor him 7” said he. Bianca laid her band upon her throbbing boart, and sat down, uunble to answer. “Yet you have reason to be satisfied with mo, madam,” rejoined Marliano bitterly. “Did I not allow him to speak of his love?” “I must leave this place,” said tho marchioness, in a voice broken with anguish. “I cannot stay here any longer. I shall return to Genoa.” “I am ready.” said Marliano, Bianca cast on him a look of terror and indigna tion. “Yes,”continued sho, “I shall return to Genoa, but to bid an eternal adieu to the world. I have often thought of it—my determination is taken—I shall retire into a convent.” The Genoese looked at her. “It is to avoid me that you shun the world.” said be, sorrowfully ; “you tbeu halo me more than you love its pleas ures.” “And if it be so, have you not forced me to ill” “What havo I done?" The marchioness looked steadily at him for a moment, with an expression which blended iudig- nalion and scorn. “Do you daro to ask me?” said she, in a resolute toue, “Baron Rocca, have you forgotten the past? Have you not traced around me a fatal circle which none can pass without cer tain death? You ask me wbut you havo done!— Havo you uot profited by your odious address as a bravo, to assume to yourself the authority of a guardian over mo against my will, and called to account all those who havedared to approach me? I could not demand the assistance ol those who have the courage to protect me against this tyran ny, for it would have exposed them to certain de> slruction. Sheltered under tho point of honor, vou would have awaited their provocation—then, master of the arms and conditions, you would have murdered them us you did the uufuitunuto Aldi. Thus have you enslaved me to your will during three years, trembling beneath yoor regard, oblig ed to suffer your society, aud estray ing all others from me through fear. Iu vain have I tried to es cape you; yon have followed me everywhere.— Even bero where I bad lied for concealment, you appearunder the lalse name of Marliano, ns if you bad feared that years would have been the signal for my flight—andyou ask, wbat you have done!" Whilst the marchioness had been speaking, the Genoese bad turned deadly pale. _ “Why did you not love ine!" said he, fixing on the marchiom as a withering look of anger. “It is you who have caused all that has happened. Happiness would havo softened my soul. You have exasperated it. “Thus am I the slave of your passion.” ••I luveyou. nnd um jealous,” “Bull—f do not love you.” Marliano let drop her bands, which ho had held in his. “You love the Count,” said he, gnashing bis loetb with rago. The imircliioue.-.sshuddered,atIempled to speak, but burst iuto tears. “Tomorrow we will start for Genoa," said ho, after a long silenco. At this moment some persons appeared at the extremity of the walk: Marlic.no offered the coun tess his arm, and they both walked away. Hardly bad they disappeared amongst the trees, when Cellini crept cautiously from behind au arti ficial knoll where be tied concealed himself. He bad arrived there a little niter Alvirno’* departure, and having distinguished the voices ofMarchionees and Marliano, be had allowed bis cariosity to per suade him play the eaves dropper. The beginning of tbeir conversation bad only excited bis uston- ; isbment, aud be bad merely seeu in it a capi .al j subject lor a scenlurio, hut the end had tanghtbiis 1 the part which Alvirno had played in the affair. He therefore ha tenej to him, and related all that be had thus opportunely discovered. His revala* tiou was for the count as welcome ns it was un expected; his doobts were removed, and ho saw that he was beloved. Everything was now ex plained, the trouble of tho marchioness at the sight of Mnrli.mn; her timid submission to his will; the sudden alteration in her uitranjr towards himself. His joy knew no bounds. “ I was with you, you see,” said she, showing him tho last volume he bad published. “ Yes.” replied be, “they aro more beloved titan the author ItitnsMjf. Before people kuow me. they seek for mo iu my work-, they guess at m' through tiio medium of my poetry ; and whan they come to find that I am a man like other men. they are astonished, ond fall down from the pinnacle oa which they placed nte. Even ycu.you love the poet, but you avoid tho man ; you like my works, But,” observed Cellini, “she promised this : Bianca, but yon would shun me.’ Marliauo, or rather Baron Rocca, to start tomor- “ Tho marchioness was deeply affected. There row.” was so much prayer in the Count’s voice, so much “No.no!’’ exclaimed Alvirno; “she shall stay, sensibility in his looks, that she remained ns it Oh! Heaven be thanked that I have learned tho were spell-bound beneath thorn; she wished to answer, but could ouly stammer out a fow words without meaning. “Bianca. I beseech you, speak to ino—yon know that I love you ; do not deny mo this happiness, perhaps the last I shall over onjoy.” “What can you moan?" ‘•Who knows what may happen ? You know the fate which has been predictod to me 1” “Ob, bullish nil such gloomy forebodings.” “ Well, supposing this prophecy were about to bo realized—could you refuse a dying man one word, when that word would make him happy ? Ah ! you tremble. Good God !—one word, ofdy one—Bianca, do you lewo me ? “Yes,” replied the marchioness, bursting into tears, and hiding her face in her hands. Alvirno uttered a cry of joy. “It is then true!—She loves me!—Thanks, thanks, Bianca, dearest Bianca!” “Oh ! why did you force me to speak, if you but knew— “Nothing—I will hear nothing, except that you lovo me. Weep not, fear not. Now let my destiny be accomplished.” The hour had passed—the Count shuddered. “ Adieu, Bianca," said he, pressing her to his heart; “adieu !” And having disengaged her from his arms, be rushed out of the room. The marchioness remained motionless. A vague sensation of terror crept over her, as she thought of the misfortunes which would bo the result of tho confession which she had just made. She thou remembered the Count’s troublo, his precipitate flight; n horrid suspicion aroso in her mind. She ran to the garden—Alvirno was not there. She asked for Marliano—ho was absent. Her heart beat as if it were ready to hurst. She ran to tho Count's room, hardly ku-wiog what she was about—it was empty. She rushed to the balcony. At this moment the report of a pistol was beard; sho uttered a piercing cry, and fell back against the wall, which sustained her from falling. Al most immediately Cellini appeared at tho extrem ity ol tho garden, exclaimiug—“a surgeon !” Bianca felt the earth moved b-ncalh her feet; she stretched out her arms for support, and tried to leave the window. Suddenly a noise was heard on the staircase : tho door flew opeu, she uttered au exclamation of joy. It was Alvirno! truth; for this once, this Barou Rocca will tiud someuue betwixt him aud the woman heoppresses, The following hours were employed by him it arranging bis affairs aud writing bis last iustrnc tions. However firm tho soul may be, such pre partitions cannot but weigh heavily upon it. But time passed away. The conut rapidly put every thing in order. He wrote to his sister, bid ding an eternal adieu to everything which had had or still claimed his love and friendship, aud then descended into the saloon. Cellini and Marliano were there alone. Tho former was warm in praise ofa volume of Machia vel which ho held ill his hand. “I do not know it,” saiJ .Marliano, coldly. “Should you wish to read it?” said the youu man, presenting him the book. “I never read.” Cellini looked at him with astonishment. The Count, who, on entering, had observed Cellini’s surprise, remarked— “Signor Marliano is quito right, wbat can gen lleuien of fashion have to do with books?” Marliauo looked at him; but the Count’s fea' teres were so calm that bo hardly knew wbat to conjecture. ‘•Ifyou really think ao, my dear Count," said Cellini, langbing. “I wonder at your passing whole nights over your books, as you are accustomed to do.” “ Oh ! as for me,” rejoined tho Count, “ I'm poet, a madman ! I love Plutarch, and pm foolish enough to consider such words as liberty, country, as anything but ridiculous. I am one of those who would not have a man’s happiness or misery de pend on tbo chance of birth. I dream of a world where recompenses would be awarded to the most worthy, honors to the most devoted, liappi ness to all; bnt I’m a madman, you know, whilst Signor Marliano ia a gentleman." Whilst Alvirno had beeu speaking, Marliano seemed to bo making desperate efforts to conceal or smother his irritation. At the last words pro nounced by the Count, he turned round suddenly, but, as if he wished to avoid a quarrel at any rate, be advanced towards a chair ou which he had lelt hia bat, and took it np. “ Pardon mo, signor,” ssid Alvirno, “ perhaps I have wounded your feelings. I should really be much grieved if you were obliged to leave the room ou my accouut, although very much flatter ed at your thus ackuowledgiug yoursell couquer ed.” Marliano threw down his hat. “I was never conqnered by anybody,” said he, haughtily. Alvirno bowed -. a vague smile played upon hia lips. For a few moments the three persons pres ent were silent. Cellini, embarassed, hardly knew wbat his friend was aiming at, and the Genoese, evidently seeking to avoid a rupture, he had ap preached the sideboard, and seemed .to be inhaling tho pdftumes of somo rare flowers in a crystal vase, wheu bis eyes fell on a case of pistols, which Celini had placed there on his return from the shooting gallery. He opened the box, took out a pis'ol, which he examined carelessly and approach ed the window. “ Are you satisfied with these arms ?" asked he of Cellini. •• Very mnch so; they aro of tho manufactory of Cosimo. “ Will you allow mo to try them I" “ Certaiuly.” Marliano looked out of t’ae window. “ You seo that Sower yonder," said be pointing to a rosebud, which was the ouly one left on the bush. “ Yes, but it is out of pistol shot.” Marliauo fired. ‘ Ah, signor!” exclaimed Cellini. “ The Bower is down, of course,” safd the Count, who had remained at the other end of the saloon. “ Yon seem to jest, but it’s u fact." The Count smiled ; he saw that Marliano want ed to frighten him. “ By Jove ! Signor Marliano,” said Cellini, who was still lookiug al the flower, “If we ever fight, I should not loel inclined to choose pistols as the weapons. “ Why not ?" exclaimed Alvirno; “ ou account of the flower?” “ No, no—on my own account.” “Dearme! Who knows? It frequently hap pens that this extraordinary dexterity disappears at tho moment of danger.” Marliano made a movement. “ I did not say that for yon, signor; bnt the most clever vi Ilian cannot always support the look of an honest man, aud bis conscience will some times make his haud tremble.” “ Couui!” shouted Marliano, springing towards Alvirno. “ Once more, I do not say that for you.” quietly relumed the latter. “ This assurance is useless,” said Marliano, bis lips tremulons with rage. “ I know thatyou dare not address such words to me. Poets are prudent; they only insnlt by allusions.” “ Y’ou do not mean that for mo either, I sup pose,” said the Count mildly. “ I leave you the judgo of that, sir.” “ O no,” continued Alvirno, “fori*' such were the case, Signor Marliano knows that I might de mand satisfaction.” “ Who hinders you from doing so ?” “ You then recognize that I have the right to do it? Y’ou own that your insolence was directed to wards me—that I am insulted ?” “ Be it so," said Marliano. Alvirno springing towerds tho Genoese, and sei- ziffg his haud—“I have the choice of arms, sir,” exclaimed be. “ It matters not to me.” “ We shall 30onsee." He ran to the sideboard, seizing Cellini's pistols, and returning to Marliano •** Choose!" said he. “ Bat one of tho pistols is unloaded.” “ The other will suffice for one of us.” “What!—do you want to fight?” “Muzzle to muzzle; and God defend the right.” “It is impossible,” exclaimed Marliano. “ParJon me, signor, I am insulted; yon have said it. I have the right to impose the conditions, not you; you have said that too. Y’ou caunot re fuse, uuiess you be a vile coward. The point of honor, which has served you so frsquently, is against you now. You hoped that, like so many others of your victims, I should bo fool enough to staud up to servo as a mark for your bullet or sword, that you might cut me down as yon did that flower, with a smile on your lips. But you are mistaken, Baron Rocca." “Ah. yon know ray name, do you ?” “ Y’es, and thiuk not that I will yield a single fraction of my advantages. I do not fight to make a parade of bravery or generosity, but to deliver tbo marchioness from your odious persecutions. I fight to kill you.” Death of Jitmca III, of Scotland. The hapless James, who, in his castle of Edin burgh, had resigned himself to ihe study of tonic, poetry, painting, architecture, nnd other genilor arts which the Stewarts loved so well, was again aroused to arms; for another army of Scotland’s re bel peers and servile vassalage was iu the field, against him. Led by George Earl of Angus, and carrying with him the young Princo of Scotland, the Lords of this new and daring confederation advanced to the famous plains of Bannockburn with the royal standard displayed. Beneath it were the flower of tile border archers, ihe Lothian spear men, aud the vessels of Drummond, Errol Maris- chal, Lysie and Glamis. Fearlul of the issue of battle, James wrote to several foreign princes for succor, and to the Pope Eugenius VII, praying that in his faithful care of the Scottish people, he would pour forth upon the insurgent lords the dreaded thunders of the Vatican. His prayer was uot beard in vain by the representative of St. Pe ter, who desired his uuncio Adriano di Castello to set out for Scotland; but tbo impatient nobles had resolved to decide the matter by tbe sword ere succour could arrivo from the continent.— Denied entrance to Stirling by its traitor governor, James bad now no alternative but to seek safety by flight in the fleet of Sir Andrew Wood, which cruised in the Frigtb of Forth, or by putliug bis crown and fate to the bolder issue of battle. By a Scottish king the latter alternative was the only one for adoption; anil bath armies drew up in order of battle on the festival oi St. Baruabas, tho Hth June, 1488. * On the army of the unfortunate king taking np bis position nt little Canglan, near the Burn of Saachie, Sir Andrew Wood, attending to the for tune of tbe war, sailed up the silver windings of the beautiful river, with the Flower and Y’ellow Caraval; and coutiuued during tbe whole of that cloudless day to cruise between dusky Alloa cud the rich cars of Stirliug, then clothed in all the fertility, tbe gratiucss, and the glory of summer.— On the right bank of the river be kept several of hia boats close by the shore, to receive the king if tbe tide of battle tnrued against him; and he often landed with hia brothers, John and Robert, and a competent number ofmen, hoping to share in the dangers of the day; but no such opportunity oc curred.” It matters not to describe hero how that disastrous field was foughtanJ lost byJatnss, whose utter want of military skill was n it sup plied by any of the nobles of bis host. Ere tho conflict began. David Lord Lindesay—a brave war rior who had ourned renown in France—present ed the king witba magnificent charger of unmatch ed strength and speed, saying that, “Hap what might, if he kept his seat.it would bear him through every thing to tho boats ol Andrew Wood.” Fatal was the gift! for this spirited steed ultimately caused the destruction of bitu it was meant to pre serve. The king, oppressed by tho weight of his rich armor and the heat of a boiling summer sun. con fused by the cloud of sorrow that darkened the air and whistled like hailstonns about his helmet, and by the clangor aud turmoil of the great battle that rang arouud him, lost all presence of mind; and on beholding his own royal banner displayed against him, remembered some ancient and omi nous prophecy that struck anguish into his soul. Ho saw the brave Gleucairn, the loyal Ruthven, the gallant Erskiae.attd other distinguished knights unhorsed and slain: and he saw his banuer struck down, his lines borne back ami all giving way, as the spearmen of Lothiau and Merse swept over the field like an angry, sea. Ho theu saw that tho time had come to fly; and dashing spurs into his swift horse, fled alone and unattended Irom tho fatal field he never hoped to gain. On,ou he spur red, tbuugh still encumbered by his heavy armor, ond crossed at full speed ‘.he fertile corse of Stir ling in hopes lo reach the friendly sbipj of Wood, which then lay only five miles off; aud their white sails shining iu the summer inn above the waving corn-fields, mail havo been visible to the anxious eyes of the fugitive king as he rode on his lonely way. Unhappy James! though he knew it not, the pursuers were close bohiud; nnd tracking biin Lko bloodhounds, Patrick Lord Ciroy, Stirling of Keir, and Andrew Bothwick, a frisr, were sparring ia the distance, striving in vain to come up with tho noble churger which the loyal Lindesuy had re signed to his sovereign At Beaton's Mill, a ham let on tho Bannock, a miller’s wife was filling n pitcher with water us the king leaped h:s hurst) “Your hope mnv bo deceived,” exclaimed the across the burn Alarmed at jeliold og an armed baron, whose surprise was now turned iuto fury, i man dash past with such fury, the woman «cu-am- “Iknowit; but whatever bo the is.-ue of the ed and threw away her pitcher, .be clatter of combat, Biauca will have nothing more to fear j which so startled James s charger t int ,t rested from your tvranny.

Cellini likewise left th© apartment. When Alvirno was alone, a sort of moral depres sion seized upon him He passed over in his mind the events of his life; h© thought of Bianca. Cel lini's story had led him to believe that he was be loved, but was that snificieut now that he was about to engage in n combat in which his life w*g | at stake I ^as it lovo or pity that hid actuated tho ■ marchioness ? He was buried in these reflections when sho entered the apartment with a book in her hand. On perceiving the Count, she stopped and bluiheu, bat recovering her presence of miud, ler, who carried him into his dwelling aud iuquir- : ed who he was. James replied to the terrified peasants, “I was your king this morning.” und ( required thorn to procure a priest to hear lii» con fession, as ho feared he was dying. Wringing her hands in great anguish aud alarm, die poor miller’s i wife ru?hed out upon the road iu search of n con- fe&sor; aud one of the pursuers, said (but without proof) to be Friar Berth wick, rode up at the mo ment and declared himsell a priest, though arrayed in armor, aud requested to bo led to the king- On iiis kneco ho reverently approached the feint and. exhausted James, who then lay ou a miserable flock bed in a corner of tin? humble cottage, and having heard his confession, a.^ked him if he ex pected to recover. The king faintly replied, “If I had tbe attendance of a physician; but, lather, first admiuistef unto me absolution and the sacra ment.” “That will 1 readily 1” exclaimed tho ruffiau, and thrice hurried a dagger in the heart of his victim, who immediately expired. The horse of the murderer was at tho door, tie mount* : ed, fled and was never discovered. As a proof of the hardness of the times, there is a man in Ohio who kill* ouly half ofa pig at a time.
