Suddenly iht Mitiud of an approaching vehicle was lieanl. The traVclmi threw open th window lo l-Hk out, mid exhibited tin utmost chagrin when ihe carriage which trussed tinned out Vo be a hearse. 'In iiulb, Margueiile,' Said he addressing a lady, who during all this time, had a i.e. a remained sealed, ami plunged in a pro found reverie, we are certainly most mi fortunate; it is two oiltk, and the diligence for Tervneren must be past ; Ihe waiter must have been, mistaken, Ond here wn have spent a most precious hour, considering that it grows dark now febont lour.' We had belter set oiit at once, ,fath- r,' ausweied the gul, 'we may, per haps, hud i-oine caniage going to the Hunting Lodge, and at any rate we shal- liavi- got over so-much of the way.' My child,' said the father, 'you have proposed what I feared to think of.

I have coun ted every nail in the Chairs twice ovei for lack ol r-tter amusement. 'Let us go, them said the voting la dy, smiling. Then enveloping hersell in an ample silk velisse, she prepared to follow I ler father. They were followed lo the door, by ihe inu-keeper, who ad, dressed the stranger "as Monsieur Au bry. - Before proceeding further, it may be as well lo iitioim ine rcant-r, inai ivi. Aubiv was foimrrly a counsellor of ih roayl court of Brusselsj who alt t n honorable career ot twenty years as a magistrate, had retired lo a liiilecoun tiy house which he possessed at Tei vueren, a pretty Village about three lea gues from Brtissels There he devo ted himself entirely to the edticaiion of an only daughter, in whom were ceii b red all his affections and all his hojes. His life was calm at d unruffled, and the fcourse of , '-education which he thought it necessary his daughter should receive did nbt allow of those fanciful accomplishments, which, be said, did not embellish life, but seived lo' fritter it a Way. With such opinions, the sub ject of a husband for his daughter gave rise to many anxious reflections; oui the entreaties of Marguerite led him in to acquiescence to her nuptials with a young man whom she ardently loved, but who did not, in the eyes of her fa ther, appear to possess all the qualities he would have desired In a son-in-law. Albert Degreef ihe son of a lich Wool merchant, who had peiished iqon the scaffold during the civil dissen&iohs it. 1793, was the man whom M. Aubry had somewhat reluctantly accepted for a son-in-law. As for his ftiittim it was allowed to be considerable, the best proof of which, lo the common people, was bis liberality. To the advantages of position he united others of a more personal nature, possessing a tall grace ful person ; eyes; which although some what glaring like a tiger's were yet fine and expressiue ; and long black cm ling hair; All these seconded the suit of Albert, who was now lyithin two days tobecorne the husband of the fair Marguerite. . All that rhhrhlhg had been spent in thetarelul selection of the bridal cos tume. She had wished lo see and to order it herself. In becoming a wife, she did not wish lo cease being admir ed. Carefully wrapped in iheir mau t es, ihe two travellers were now has tily wending their way along the sleep road leading to the village by ihe side of Averghem On arriving at the sum J mil of the acclivity, they Mopped for a moment to throw a glance back upon ihe road they had travelled, which ap peared like a long black' seipenl, with hriiiht spop here and tl eie, formed by little pools of water. Beloie them the road apjM-ared quite deserted. B' hind wre one or two country people, hasti ly making their way home, and who, in passing, had saluted the two redc$ trians with 'God protect you on your journey.' M. Aubry began to feel him si-lf uneasy the roads, were then ex tremely unsafe, and each day. was add ing ro the list of crimes perpetrated b bold and ferocious band of clianfleiiis, who had as yet resisted all government efforts to deliver thelfiuntry fmm theii ravages i'he cnnhiiig and security with whic these brigili.rU mad- iheii attacks barf inspired the slipei.-titioi portion of the inhabitants with a belief that they were guided by some unseen power, for wherever the gendarmerie n main, the inhabitants might sleep in ftifeiy, fait pillagcj tt t: re an J inceudiai imii, iiivaiiably lol lowed their depar ture. It was not then without a secret feeling of itiqtii' fude that M. Aubry saw the day fast declining; and as yet.no ap pearance of any conveyance by. which ihey might bfe "ctlrried on their way The day darkened more and more, while strong gusts of wind swept through Ihe forest which encircled ilvm on every side; giving rise to those mys teiious inliimiirs which seem to tie the voice of ihe storm; The heavy figs rol led down more rapidly, and seemed lo weigh !xiwn ihe tall trees, whi li shook like teds m ihe tilast.1 The Tain des cended in torrents and foimed in lare (ools on thfe Toad; while. th wind, still rising in ftircH whiSited diitoih ihe long alleys of trees in lhe "forest. -''making them asstime those fautast reshapes, and rait those . melanfehbly Wails; which must be Ireaid in Ihe forests bf the north, in order that their terrifying, influence may be fully understood. M. Aubry and his daughter were evidently under stime vague, indefinite fear, exhibited by the anxious looks which they so fre quently cast behind them-, vainly en deavoring to discover throught ihe uni versal gloom some approaching ca triage. However, the rain, which for a short lime, had slacked, now began to pour with fresh fury, and it became absolute ly necessary to find some sort of shel ter. 'If you wish, Marguerite, we shall stay al the farm of Jacques l.eni, which is about a-rohple of gun-shot's "we shall find shelter there until some vehiel. shall pass on-its f turn to Tervneren I should like it much, father,' auswei ed Marguerite, 'I have been afraid ol this sometime.' 'Afraid V ah I f what ) !s Mil you father with you, and aimed t ' ... 1 am atiaid of whai I do not v h know. B quick, father we shall re- main ai Jacques uerot s larm. we- shall be safe there.'. M.

But,' said M. Aabry, 'you miht le as sassinated it hundred times before help could reach you.' 'Do j on think there is danger here then, father,' said Marguerite, routed from hei reflections by the f'.si wo.tls of her ftlier. which seemed to find a sad echo in her own breast.

All rtature appear ed so melancholy that it chilled Marguerite, who hasulv regained hercouch, with a fervent aspiration for day-break. She had scarcely lain five minutes, ere the houghi she heard a confused noige of several per son? speaftinff ifcgeiher. In great trepida tion she a rose quickly to ascettahv th- b use of the noise, which became gradually loud er, and seemed to proceed fVnm beneath her window. Suddenly a h aVy knock at in front door stuftrtd this whole house b..Id. ' What do you wint who ate you 7 de manded Jacques Le'roi. in a sullen voice. Open, an.l ymi will know,' Was the re sponse from without. 'I do not open to people whom I do not know, ami you are all masked and black ened If you wish money, 1 will t row yon out what I have; but if you wish to enter the house by fu-ce, I will speedily give you cause to repent of it.'

Puttrifc this brief Arid rapid colloquy, M . Aubrv had been" roused by ihe servants who were now at their master's side, each arnnd with a double barreled gin. . 'If you would hfc to take flnhl with your daughter,' said ibo farmer to M An bry, 'one of the lads wilt show you a little door which fearts out close upon the forest But the house re, perhaps,- surrounded, so the best jptan is to remain.

All at once thfVjtLlack ceased, the ch uffeurs abandoned their ram, and 'pick ed up their wounded, -whoni' they bore off o an out-house whicti was situated at aorne In lie distance. . Silence ' appeared ' to be nearly re-established, for noihing was heard but ll. e gradually lessening sound of their loot steps: and the hunt en- s of the woun- led, resounding lhrou.li the calm mgnt air 1 he ilrt n-rer appeared to be past. M. Au- try to whiaii tlie atttmaiiou of tne ecene iiaiH imparled some CnUfaocj ilirec'.ed his steps io his daughtei's Chamber, to re as sure her; but to his surprise foUnd the door firmly bohed from within.. Attributing this circumstance at first to the terror by which lnsdaughter might have been inspired by the chauffeur's attackt he WS about to call on her, when the sound of some glass bro ken with violence whs heard in the chain- berJund recalled all his fears Alas I a horrible drama was now acting in the cham ber of Marguerite. Despairing to took by fi.rce a house so well defended, the leader f the bandits began to look around for some means of taking the fatm by surprise, and his eye caught the heap of faggots piled ip tinder the window of the cabinet, where Marguerite fearfully and anxiously a waned the result of the strife. Active and vigorous, the ! ardy chauffeur was already on ihe top of ihe branches, which ' placed him but a few feet from the level" of the window it was the wi ik of a moment iii'M'e to draw hi-1 poinard.-manufactured of the truest steel, siick it tn an aperture &f itie t-nck wall, and swinging himself up by ts aid, gained ihe sill. Certain of success, ne caiiiii.usl v signed to his followers, t. tVatl themselves nl the same entrance, and ,(.er-.!ily iwemy masked ruffians all armed w Mi uncouth murderous weapon, vere ready to rejoin their formidable chief. No sound was heard in the chamber Wargiier n-'s fears were allayed, and 6he kiiij-It and rendered ihanks to (jod for hi ie'a tin-rcy in savintr them all from the murderous band of the chauffeurs, when suddenly, a violent sound was beard at tin liule window, and a h irible apparition rieeied ber alarmed lrlalice. On ihe out- -I Je of ihe broken window, whleh was ll- hiirtitiHied b,y ihe pale moonbeam , she pi tree ve. i the head of a man in a dark mask, bin whose irlii rinir eves seem d to menace her. Maxjfii-rite gaVe a piercing shriek, and, stiihiilaivil .y that iudescriba tle fe liiiir whi'h ahimdics Wo en under extraordinary circuthstances, she rushed upon the bandit, whose looks apieared as it ihev would majrneiise her. 1 hen com- uienr.i-d a terrible Jiiiie. The young girl having seied the chaufTeuIr by his long blark hair, shtfihrew herself forcibly on the floor, whilsJ, with the tenfold vigor ol treuzy, she drew the head of the brigand airainst the si-Ic of the window, -here his breathing soon became short an-l spasmo dic. On the outside the bandits who per ceived the imminent danger of their chief, exhausted themselves in Vain efforts to dis-l-aiffe him from a position where, from his body hanging purtialy over and his head Ira wn strongly against the side of the win iluw, he would undoubtedly be suffocated Already his strength seemed to be fast de creasing; he made a last and desperate effort to release himself froth the powerfu irrasp which retained him: then his mus cles relaxed, and his body heavily nttd pow erleslv fell over on the floor within. On iiehol.lmir this, the chauffeurs set tip a dis ma I crv. and. throwing- themselves in dis- order from the faggots, took flight in every direction. When the fattner and M Aubry entered tne chamber, oT Marguerite ; ariter havin-r hewn down the doOr, ihey loiind the girl seated oft the floor, pale and exh usted, holding in her clenched hands, the dark locks of the bandit chief, who did net seem to breathe. However, after a short time he appeared lo revive a little, and) glancing round vacantly, in A feeble voice be em mitted this command Orve no dnarter, I say ; burn ibem all.' Mr. Aubry, when he heard the vtttce-, nearly swooned, and eagerly approaching ihe bed wberetbe brigami had been placed by . three of the servants, what was his mingled horror and astonishment to behold in the chauffeur leader, Aibert Degreef, bis would be-soo in law, his d ughtcr's betrothed I , The numerous crimes committed by these formidable ruffians received now a fearful punishment. In three days after the at tack on the far r, ihe blood of Albert De greef and ten if his accomplices streamed -al the scaffold at Brussels. They died nldly and "courageously, but without no wing the hand to whom they owed iheir death. This singular circumstance terminated tne days ol Margu-nte. , t rum the mo ment that her hands were disengaged from Albert Degrrrf,' she sank into a state ol profound catalepsy, fro ns winch she did no recover until the fatal moment when bis head rolled into the pannier. " 'l have known him well,' ah said, 'I hare too of ten caressed his hair to ba mistaken. H co nes to seek Use lo-nirh. - The bridal feast is prepared.' He shall have com pa uy without heads alt his. friends, ihey tell roe. She died the same evening, with m smile on ber calm, palet beautiful coun tenance. - - 1 1 his was the first decided blow struck by government against this notorious band which, from that data, felt one by one into the bands of the gendarmerie. They seem ed to be -unable to find a successor Com bining the same resolute hardihood and serpent-like cunning which characterised the redoubtable leader, tinder whoe guidance hey bad perpetrated so many diabolical runes, ami who had contrived by dint ol he same cunning, to conceal, for S3 long a period, his connection with them.
