ADVANCING MONEY TOBUY 4 WIFE.

Once in Sardinia, at village high up in
the mountains, a peddler arrived about
Christmas during very severe weather. A
farmer, whose daughter was about to be
married, kindly invited him to make some
stay at his house. The pcddler accepted
he invitation, and remained eight or ten
days, kept a prisoner as it were, by the
hospitality of his host and a perpetual sue
cession of snow storms. He was present
at the wedding. AMI at the merry making
given by the family in the evening, where
he noticed among the guests a young man
of rather handsome appearances, who at
tracted much attention by the gloomy
herceness Of his manner. Toward most
persons he preserved sullcn silence; but
he relaxed with the peddlcr, laughed, and
talked great deal; inquired what route he
meant to take, and how long it was to be be-
fore he would be among them again.
In due time the peiiler quisted the
farmhouse, and proceeded on his way. The
country just there was very thinly inha it
cd, the woods frequent and of considerable
extent, and here and there were caycrns of
various dimensions. In one of these the
psddler one snowy night found himself
compelled to take refuge. He had had the
precaution to take some food with him; and
the cold being piercing, he collected q
quantity Of wood kindled q fire and sat
down to enjoy his supper beside it. He
had not taken two mouthfal before he OBJ
served a man enter the cavern covered with
snow, which he shook from him as he ad-
vanced. There was an immediate rccogui-
ton; it was no other than the farmer ;
wedding guest He accosted the peddler
with strange constrained cvility-saying
he was come to sup and spenithe night
with him.
You are welcome, said the Frenchman,
with as much self command as he could as
sumo.
Perhaps, however, replek the Sarlin-
ian, shall not continue TO be so when
.hall have explained my errand?

this dagger that will repay it sooner OF
later And he held up the glittering wea-
pot in the light of the flames, ready to
press it to his lips should the peddler ac-
csds 10 his request.
The Erenchmau naturally felt exceeding
y uncomfortable; for from the savage as
rsct Of his guest, he did not doubt he had
reason TO dread the worst.

be 80 foolish az to refuse me, ! shall kill

seems that a mason named William Cairns
was on the top of part # the house,
which is three stories high, making some
repairs on the roof, when the scafoldiug,

way, and he was at once precipitated to
the ground, falling on his face on a large
heap of stones III the yard, The poor man
who has large family, was at once car
rled into the inhrmary, and attended to By
the medical gentlemen of the workhouse,
who has slight hopes of his recovery
