SELECT READING. French _Courage. A THRILLING STORY, A striking trait of courage in a lady forms the subject of conversa tion at present in the French me- tropolis, Madam Aabry lives in a solitary chateau not far from the town ¢ The family only consisted of Aubry, his wife, a child about a year old, and oue maid servant. In the little town every light ia out at 10 o'clock. and of course the most perfeet soi tide reigns at that hour in. their house, which lies off the road, and is pletely hidden by trees. One night during last winter, Ma- dame Aubry was sitting alone read- ing. - Her husband bad left her in the morning to visit a few friends six or cight miles off, und ae he expected to bring home a considerable sum of money, he bad tuken the precaution of arming himself with a pair of pis- tole. At about six o'clock the lady went up to her room to put her child to bed. Her apartment was a large room on the first floor, filled up on one side by an old-fashioned chimney, and on the other by a deep spicions alcove, near which stood her infant's cradle, : It was a gloomy night, cold and dark. Every now and then adush of thin beat against the githic window. iven the trees i en bowed 0 3 he; 4 sliort'it was a night in which the solitude of tho mansion wus most | complete and melancholy. Madame Aubry sat down in a chair near the fire; which, by its sudden flashes cast ap uncertain light over the apartment, throwing its antique carving and mouldings by turns into brighter relief or deeper shade. She had hier child on her lap, jnst finiehed preparing it for the cradle. She cast her eyes towards the alcove to sce if the cradle was ready to re~ ceive its occupant whose eyes were already closed. Just then the fire flashed up brightly and threw a stiong light upon the alcove, by which the lady discovered a pair of feet, encased in heavy nailed shoes, peeping. out from under the curtaii in front of the bed. A thousand thoughts lashed through her mind in an instant. The person wag a thiel --perhaps an assassin ; that was clear." She had no protection, no aid at hand. Her husband was not to return till eight at the soonest, and it was only half past six, What was to be done ? ; She did not utter a single ery, nor even start or: her seat. Her servant would not probably have such pres- ence of mind. The robber probably meant to remain quiet till midnight, and then seize the money that hor husband was to bring with him; but that if he should find he was discov- ered he would not fail to leave hix hiding place and secure their silence them. Besides might the girl be the robber's accomplice ? Several slight causes of suspicion oc: curred to her at once; and all these reficctions passed through her mind in less time than it takes us to write them. She decided at once what she short do, which was to send the girl out-of the roum. You know that dish my husband takes, said she, without betraying the tone of her voice; I ought to have remembered to have got it ready for supper. Go down stairs and sec about it at once, Does not madame require my help here as she always does. ' "No, no, I'will attend to everything myself. I know my hosband would not be pleased if he was to come home after his ride in such bad wenther[as Sha and. not find a supper ready. After some delays, which inerefiled in the ludy's mind that suspision she wae forced to gonceal the girl eft the 'room. The noise of lier steps on the stuirs died away gradually; and Mu- dame Anbry was loft alone with her child, with those two feet motionless t their post still peeping out under curtain. Ste kept by the fire with her child on her lap, continuing to caress it and sing to it mechanic- ally. Her child cried; but: its oradle was near the @lcove~ pear those dreadful feet {--<low could she find coprage to go near them | At last sho made an effort. : Come my child { said she, and then she got up, : Hardly able .to stand erect, she DONALD STALKER.

We do n enongh to try 'robber. Madame Aubry had no arms; be- side, she had no claims to valor, but only to tht passive conrage founded an reflection, which is far the rarer of the two. Every few minttes she would hear a noise in the garden. Int that noise, a ray of hope shone on her for a moment, it was her hus-- band it waws' deliverance!

Her clock strikes--only once; it is the half hour only, and the elock is too fust besides! How much angnish --how many silent prayers--in those trying minutes. She took a book of devotion aud tried te read, but her eyes would wander from the page to fix on those heavy slves.

Adter two hours of such agony the a straggle with the thehope of final res lie a Sonn she hears a. noise und window, and listens tru 4 doubtfully. = At this time she is not mistaken j the heavy out-door creaks. on its hinges and shuts with clamor; awell known siep is heard on the stairs, and a mun enters, a ta'l stout man.

He had only tuken off his coat and pot away his pistols, delighted at again seeing what he most loved on enith, opens his arms and embraces his wife. She clasps him convulsively, but in a mo- ment recovering her self-possession, puts her finger on his lips and points to the feet peeping uider the curtain. 'IfM. Aubry had been 'wanting in presence of mind he would not have deserved to be the husband of | sucha woman. ' He made a slight gesture to show that he understood her, and said aloud, : ¢ Excuse me, my dear, I left m money down stairs, I'll be bass soon. Within a few moments he returns. pistol in hand. He looks at the pri- ming., wa'ks to the alcove, stoops. and while the fore-finger of the right hand is on the trigger, with the other hand he seizes one of the feet and cries with a voice of thunder-- ¢ Surrender, or you're a dead man)' He drags into the middle of the room by the feet, a man of ill-favored: aspect, crouching low to avoid a pis- tol which M. Aubry held close to his head. He wassearched, and a sharp dagger found on him. He confessed that the girl was his accomplice, und told him that Mons. Aubry was to bring a large sum of money home that night. Nothing remains now but to give them over to the ' authoiities. udame Anbry usks her husband to -foigive them; but the voice of duty is stronger than of pity, ; When M, Aubry heard from his wife all she had gene through with that sight he could only say. ¢ Who would have thought you so courageous.' $5 But in spite of her courage, she was attacked that night with a vio- lent neryous fever, und did not get over her heroism for several days. has fully establish that acids promote the se; 0 the bije Tom he blood, ich is then passed from the system, thus prevent- ing fevers, the prevailing diseases of summer.

They were referred to the order prohibiting such reckless exposure, and the danger of the attempt pointed out. They answered that the man had shown the Blasonic sign of distress, and that, as Masons, they felt bound to attempt to relieve him at any cost. Tue General (R. F.
