A Thrilling Adventure.

A merchant wishing to celebrate his
daughters wedding, collected party of
her young companions. They ciIcled
around her, wishing much happiness to
thG youthful bride and her chosen one
The father gazed proudly on his favored
CHILD, and hoped that as bright pros
poets might open for the rest of his
children, who were playing among the
guests.
Passing through the hall of the base
ment he met servant who was carrying
a lighted candle il her hand without the
candlestick. IL blamed. her for such
conduct, aud went into the kitchen to
see about the supper. The girl returned,
but without the candle. The merchant
Immediately recollected that several bar
rels of gunpowder had been placed in
the cellar during the day, and that one
had been opened.
"Where is your candle" he inquired,
in the utmost alarm.
81 couldn't bring it up with me, for
my arms were full of wood, said the
girl.
"Where did you put it?'
"Well, I'd no candlestick, so l stuck
it in some black sand that's in the sand
barrel"
Her master dashed down the stairs;
the passage was long and dark; his
knees threatened to give way under
him, his breath was choked; his flesh
seemed dry and psrched, as if he already
felt the suffocating blast of death. At
the end of the cellar, under the very
room where his children and their
friends were reveling in felicity, he saw
the open barrel of powder, full to the
| top, the candle stuck loosely in the
| grains, with a long red snuff Of burnt
wick. The sight seemed to wither all
| his power. The laughter CT the COM
| pany struck his ear like the knell of
death. He stood a moment, unable to
move.
The music commenced above; the feet
| of the dancers responded with vivacity;
! the floor shook, and the loose bottles in
the cellar iingled with the motion. He
faucied the candle was mOving-falliHg.
With desperate energy he sprang for
ward--but how to remove it. The
slightest touch would cause the red-bot
wick to fall into the powder. With un-
equaled presence of mind he placed a
hand on each side of the candle, pointed
toward the object of care, which, as his
hands met, was secured in the clasp of
his fingers and safely moved away from
| its dangerous position. When he reached
! the head of the stairs he smiled at his
| previous alarm; but the reaction was too
| powerful, and he fell in fits of the most
violent laughter. He was conveyed to
his bed senseless, and many weeks
elapsed ere his system recovered sufi-
cient tone to allow him to resume his
business.
