BEWARE OF GUN CoTToN We tran
slate from the French the following re.
markabIe narrative, which we have not
seen in an English dress. 1t appeared
originally in Swiss newspaper, from
which il was copied into the Courier
DIES Efuis UHis:
The beautiful vale of Chamounix has
Just been the theatre of IN act of jeal-
ousy on tie part of Il woman, Of which
il would seem that in implacablc girl Of
Corsica alone woId be capable. a
beautiful rlrl. named Adelaide Zwert,
had been beloved for many years by
Carl Bigncr II skiIiul and interchangeable
chamois hunter. She Lad received
from him promise OF marriage, at n
fixed period hu, Carl had found means
to delay the accomplishment Of his VOWS.
His prctexts aroused the suspicious Of
Adelaide, who became Jealons and
srumistiul, and by watching his move
mcn,s obtained the melancholy proof
that another had supplanicd her in the
hear, Of carl, who was cvid ntly only
waiting for favorable opportunity to
break with her entirely.
The mountain maid swore that she
would be avenged and TO that end con-
ccivcd and executed the following plan.
She was passionatcly beloved by an
apo,Lccary, who had courcd her for
long time, and had seen in his hands
gun cotton. precisely similar in appear
ancc to ordinary wadding. Now Carl
was great smoker, and she had often
remarked that sparks from his pipe had
made numerous holes in great woolen
scarf. which he was in the habit OF put
ting round his neck when he went to
hunt the chamois in the regions of etcr-
nal SNOW. She therefore knitted Il long
WOODEN scarf. with loose stitches, and in
troluccd betve,n n its two surfaces, as in
"A sheath, n large quantity Of gun-collon,
The reader has already OWNED that
this was furnished by the apothccary,
who could refuse her nothing, enl who
was far from expecting amy evil design
The scarf: thus prepared, in the gu'se
Of an Internal machine, was given with
every mark Il tenderness to the incon-
stant lover, IN exchange for the old one,
which was begged us Il Keepsake.
