'1iflE SOLDIERS WIFE.
A THRILLING SKETCH. \

\ F sE
One OF the most striking cases Of
presence OF mind and self-possession,
of which have any recollection, came to
light in. trial which took place some years
since in Ireland. The story looks like a
fiction, butt have every reason to believe
1t quite true. g,9ur (.
A woman travelling along road to join
her husband,l who was a soldier and quar-
tered at ,Athlone, was joined by pedIar,
who was going the same way. They en-
tered into conversation during walk OF
some hours. but as the day began to wane,
they agreed that they should stop for the
night at a house of entertainment, and pur-
sue their pedestrian journey the next day
They reached an humble inn, situated in
a lonely spot by the roadside, and fatigued,
after a long days walk, they were glad TO
find themselves under the shelter of roof.
Having refreshed themselves with the sub
stantial supper set before them, they ex-
pressed wish to retire to bed. They
were shown Into the travellers room, and
went to rest in their respective beds. The
pedlar before retiring, had called the land
lord aside, and gave into his keeping
the pack which he had unstrapped from his
back, till the morning, telling him that it
contained considerable sum of money and
much valuable property.
They were not long in bed before the
pedar fell into sound sleep, but the poor
woman, perhaps from over fatigue or from
the thought Of meeting her husband next
day, lay awake.
A couple Of hours passed, when she saw
the door slowly open, and person enter
holding light, which he screened with his
hands. She immediately recognised in
hin one of the young men she had seen be-
lowr-son Of the landlord. He advanced
with stealthly step to the bedside of The
pedlas, and watched him for few seconds.
He then went out and entered again with
his brolher and father, who held in bis
hand INV pewter basin. They went on
tiptoe Me bedside Of the pedlar, where
he lay in abdecp sleep. One Of the young
men drew olt knife, and while the father
held the baSn to catch the blood, he cut
the poor victims throat from ear TO ear. A
slight half-audble groan, and all was still,
save the cautious movements Of the party
engaged in the fatal deed. They had
brought in with them large sack, into
which they quickly thrust the unresisting
body The poor Woman lay silent in her
bed, fearing that her urn would come next.
She heard low mutterhg among the men,
from which she gatheredthat they were de-
batting whether they shouh murder her, as
they feared she might havesA in her power
to betray them. One of them said he was
sure that she was fast asleep, and there was
no occasion to trouble themselves more
but to make sure Of this being the case, one
came to the bedside with the candle in hu
hand, and the other with knife.
She kept he eyes cPsed as if in sleep,
and h.u suea e1nipteie command over her.

how long must that night Of horror have
seemed TO the poor woman--how frightful
was Its stiffness and its darkness The pre-
sence Of mind witch hadso astonishingly,
enabled her to act a part to which she owed,
her life sustained her through the trying
scenes which she had yet to pass. She did
not hurry from her room at an unseasonss
ble hour, but waited till she had heard all
the family astir for some time; she then
went down and said that she believed that
she had oversight herself, in consequence.
Of being greatly tired. She asked where,
the pedlar was, and was told that he was,
in too great hurry to wait for her, but
that he had left sixpence to pay forphers
breakfast She sat down composedIy to
that meal, and forced herself 10 partake,
with apparent appetite the food sat before
her. She appeared unconscious Of the eyes
which with deep scrutiny were fixed upon
her. ait
When the meal was over, she took leave
of the family, and went her way without
the least appearance Of discomposurs Of
mistrust. She had Proceeded but short
way, when she was joined by two strap

They walked by her side, entered into
conversation; asked her where she was 60
ing, and told her that their road lay the
same way; they questioned as to where
she had lodged the night before, and made
the most minute inquiries about the family
the house of entertainments
Her answers were quite unembarrassed,
and the people of the house appeared to be l
decent and civil, and had treated her very
well. For two hours the young men con-
Iinued by her side, conversing with her,
and watching with the most scrutinizing
ylances any change in her rountenance,
md asking questions which might have
'ut her off her guard. 1t was not till her
dreaded companions had left, and till she
aw her husband coming along the road %
