A young lady whom we will call Madame Aubrsy, inhabited (with her husband) a house in the little town of C The only in habitants of this house, which was in the out skirts of the town, and burtrd in an immense garden, were Mens, and Madarno Aubrey, their child about a year old, and ooo domes tie, who had quite recently entered their ser vice. At nine o'clock in Ihe evening, per feet silence reigned tuouhout Iho little loon. At ten every ''ghl was extinguished, except in ll'e ra'C occurrence nf a dance, a wedding, or some similar festivity. Yob can from this imagtno Ihe stlur.cn and solitude of this old house, buried tn a thicket of Itlacs snd scsciaea, ami at least three hundred pa ces from the street. One gloomy evening in November, Ma dame Aubrey waa at home, awsinng with some anxiety the return of her husband, who hid been summoned in the morning to a vil lage about two mi'eaf. ,iC . AsMons. nuurey expected to ormg nome a largo sum a .... ...... . ot money, he had armed himsell with a pair of pistols, a precaution which somowhat a larmed his wife. It wat six o'clock and Madamo Aubrey had just gone to her chamber, attended by her d'xneMse, fur the purpose of putting her little b y to bed. This chamber, which was high and large, was situated on the first floor, looking upon the girdcu. The wood black ened by lime the old fashioned and datk col ored furniture, and old family portraits, with their stern faces, gave this room ralhcr a dreary aspect. A largo and deep alcove, bo solo which was placed the baby's crib, con Inioed the bed, and occupied a largo propor tion nf tho side of Ihe apartment opposite the fire place. Tho curtains of Iho a'cove were drawn, but at sine corner, where Ihey had hen accidentally displaced, a email portion of the bedstead was visible. This was a venerable old structure, covered with the elaborate reiving and curious scrolls in which lha chisel of the cahinet-muker of Ihe last century so much delighted. Thn night was datk and gloomy, a true mumnal night. The tasn beat in torresits gainst the windows, and the trees, bent by the furious wind, scratched with their long fingers against Ihe glass anil tho sides of the house, making a concert which would have IF -dually drowned any human cry for suc cor. Madame Aubrey was sratpd upon a lose ehair be-side the fire, the light of which, msn. C'd with that of a lasnp placed upon the chimney. piece, threw out in strong relief ccr. sin objects, leaving the rest enveloped in darkness. The young mother held upon her knees he mfiint, whom she was undressing, while the servasit at the other end nf the chamber, executed some orders given by her mutroes. 1 he toiiol of .be little boy "" complete, and Madame Ao'iirey glanced low. the crib In ssuro herself that it was quite ready for its hiile inmate, whose eyes were alrsady clos. e- , I - is c c I lanr o us . us- is.'".'1-jlj ::rr- -z.m r: r-: i- Jir'm: ing.

After some hesitation tie woman left Ihe i ro m. The sound of her feet died away on j the st'iira, and Msdsrne Aubrey found her self ahme with her child and wnh llio.e two feet, which, half revealed and half concealed, if-mained immoveable at their post.

The clock struck seven. Another hour, a whole hour befie the en hopo fur the ar. rival of her hustund.
