Brigand Life.

One incident was related to US. which
is not calculated to show their domestic
transactions in very favorable light. in
spite of the usual romantic ideas of the
eternal fidelity Of brigand's bride. The
chief of band that infeste d this province,
had young wife, very much attached to
him, who followed him in all his perilous
wanderings, and presented him with son
and heir, worthy, she hoped, of initiating
the glorious exploits of his sire. This un-
fortunate little bambinO, however, so dis
turbed the peace ofthe brigand's tent with
it's infantine cries, that he threatened
more than once to put on end to its vail
ing and one night returning savage and
disappointed from an unsuccessful expedi-
tion, he was again provoked by its squalls,
rising suddenly in fury, he put his threat
into execution before the eyes Of the terri
fled mother.
From that moment love gave place in
her heart to hatred and desire for ven-
geance while her husband, enraged at her
continually regretting the child, and per-
haps suspecting some vindictive intentions
on her part, resolved, after some domestic
squa bibles to put her to death, also. One
night, having confidcd his project to his
nephew, who he haG left at fhe head of the
camp of brigunds, he told him not to give
the alarm if he heard the report of gun
as it would merely be himself giving
quietus to Ia Giuditta and with thi!
warning he departed to his own tent, lit
tie distant from the others. Now it 81
happened that his loving spouse had fixe'
pom this very evening for the performance
other own long nursed schemes of revenge
and having deferred her own fate by he
more than usually amiuble demeanor, an
, artfully got her victim to sleep, she dis
j charged the contents Of a rifle into his DO
: dy; and cutting off his head, escaped wit
it to Reggie, where she claimed and OBJ
tanned reward from the authorities fc
his destruction. The nephew heard tn
:, report of the rife in the night; and befor
d warned, merely muttered to himself,
D zio CHI ammazza 10 Guidtta," and quietl
