As I have said, I was behind the open- ing door. I waited to see the visitor pass the screen thus afforded. Ho passed—-cautiously—noiselessly ; a long knife gleaming in his right hawV— • his baek towards me. It was tho land- lord! Softly creeping 'towards the loot of my bod, which faced this secret door, and the curtains of which were closed. I rose softly to my feet, still restraining the dog's impatieiit eagerness. A 'board creaked under my feet—the murderer turned—beheld me, and sprang upon me with a savage cry. My hand slipped from tho uplifted arm that I grasped;. I was thrown down—the knife was uj - lifted! Swift, silent, sure was the dog'b leap! Ilis white teeth fastened iu the assassin's arm,-who reeled with the vio- lence of the shock, and fell backward, hi3 head striking the bed-post; ami he lay senseless whore he fell. And the dog, thcfaithful creature who had saved my life when the murderer's steel was at my very throat, released his now lharmlcss victim, and springing upon tne overwhelmed me with passionate ca- resses. I was .saved! The man lay there without sense or motion, the knife still glittering in his clasp—a horrible object in the tpiift moonlight flooding the room. Nobly hud the affectionate animal beside me repaid me for the protection he had received at my handy. And now, satisfying myself that the wrctih was uulj .stunned, and would toon revive, I hastily snatched my money and watch from under tho pillow, and gather- jng the rest of my things qiiick'y togeth- er, sprang from the window to the shed heloW, \with toy faithful dog, and reach- ing the ground, hastened towards the sta- ble. One thing surprised mo, that I beheld not a living soul—that the other inmates, of the place, if there were any about, ifeikd to have been aroused. Through the silvery silence of the night we sped on. Along the road, here, there was i.ot a single dwelling for miles and miles, and a strange at- d lonely ride enough did that seem to me, escaping front danger and death. It all seemed like somo uneasy divam. I patted nty horse, and gave a >fiiiendly and affection- ate word to my faithful dog, ever and anon, and their cotupanionsbip and mute sympathy cheered me. I had gone at a rather rapid pace at first, to get away from tho proximity of that fatal spot; but gradually, as the distance from it in- creased, 1 somewhat slackened my pace ; frr I knew that my four footed compan- ions, must be wearied with the fatigue they had already undergone. Suddenly, when I had reached, per- haps, to about seven miles from the inn, I heard sounds that caused mc to turn my head suddenly, and at the same time my dog sent forth a low, mournful howl, that chilled mo. The sounds I heard were the rapidly approaching paces of horses, muffled by the turf; and there, not a hundred yards distant, were two honcman'flying iu tho moonlight towards me. I had not a doubt as to who they were —they were some accomplices of the landlord's, who I had chance to elude in my escape\ they were pursuing me, de- termined, I supposed, not to loose their prey. They were gai.nng on me a t a rapid rate. If I had heard them sooner there mfght have been some chance for me.; but, as I was, they had kept on rtihe turf, so that their approaoh had been se- cret, ,ani my situation was now one of undeniable danger. I had brought my pistols with me ; but of what use were ihey, unloaded? I was in no position to contend with these two rnfBanB, probably •wdllahncd and prepared for a struggle, '•_ I Resolved to try my speed against theirs, I tightened' the rein, whistled to hiy dog, and almost flew over the ground, while my dog kept pace with me. looking up now and then at me with, I thought, a hopeless expression. \Ah>! my good friend,\ I said to him, \if flight does not save mo, the noble doodyoirhave done to nigH will have been of no avail—you cannot save me again!\ It seemed as if he understood inc.— - But ho had no idea of dying then. He pricked up his ears-^his eyes grow eager —a short, shrill, fierce bark issued from his lips. It was of no use attemptingto elude my pursuers. Their beasts woro fresh— mine 'wearied by a week's travelling..— They gained on me at every pace; I could hear tho rapid rush through the air as they ieared mc. A hoarse voice called on me to atop—a pistol bullet whis- tled past m.y ear, through my hair.— Another and another ; but they missed me. And now my pursuers gained still more; they reached—passed me, and and wheeling, intercepted my course. Qiickor than thought they had drop- I'fJ f.-oin their horsis, and seized my bridle reins. Instantly I dashed one of my pistols full in the face of the one on tho right, just as tho dog sprang upon him, and dragged him to-the earth, where they rolled together in a death struggle. Jly heart throbbed osultingly as I saw tho noble creature grasping with my as- sailant. A wild oath broke from the lips of the other ruffian. Aiming my remaining pistol at his head, I fired the blank powder charge and partially stun- ned him, at tho same time striking my horse smartly, but trembling with fright, he refused to stir; aud wlnlo the man evaded the pistol I flung at him, I rcceiv- edablow on the head that struck mo from tho saddle. But that hour was not destined to be my last, as 1 found, on wakiug to this life once more, somo twelve hours after, iu a small farm house, ly ing about twenty rods from tho scene of that night's at- tack, and whore—thaifks to tho faithful, fearless creature who had twice saved my life nttlie peri! of his own, I was enabled to listen to an accouut of certain circum- stances, of which I had no remembrauce. It seemed thst about an hour, or there- ibouts, after midnight the uccupants of this farm house were moused by the bark- ing df a dog without, aud hastening- to upon the door, found there a large dog, seeming in great distress, his coat stained with blood and c \o\.>ed with du«t, and two or tLrcc w.,ti:.d< visible in different put\> of his bolj ; that, resisting their endeavors to lead him iu, he had, by his significant actions, induced them to fol- low him along tho road some distance, to where lay the bcli. s .if three men, in the middle of tho road; while a single horse, apparently belonging to one of them, stood by the roadside, Two men were quite dead—the Hood ilowiug from a terrible wound in the throat of each. These wounds on exam- ination, were found to have been made by the fangs of a dog, which had fastened there, and met through aud through the flesh. Well had the faithful brute pre- served his master! The third, though insensible, was without wounds ; his only injuries being a dislocation of the arm, and a severe bruise on the head, caused by somo violent blow. It is easy to supply the missing links. Tho dog, immediately on my being hurl- ed from the saddle, must have left tho man whom he had thrown down, and flown upon tho other assailant, whom nry pistol had already half disabled, prevent- ing him from doing me farther mischief. In tho throat of each he had torn great wounds, in his fury, that would have let out a score of lives. Ho had saved my lifo. I can find no words to convey my feelings, as I think of tho unshrinking courage and fidelity with which this noble creature protected aud preserved me, when I .was utterly at the mercy of the assassin; as I think of the death which ho interposed his own life to avert from me. Of the two ruffians who had attacked : mo on the road, strange to say, one wa 3 found to b e Jack Brown, tho dark look- ing individual, who had figured soraowhat in-tho first part of this story.

Some matter of fact genius raps the knuckles of pretty hands very roughly- Just \hoar him: \ Dolicatp beautiful hands I Dear Miss, how do you contrive to make your hands so pretty ?

Like many of the vain things of earth, they are kept for »how j and nothing more. Fur our part, we we would rather see them out in actual service, and as though as a coquette's conscience, than so tender that a fly's foot will make an impression upon them. \ How much did he offer you V in- quired one of Iha other jurors. \ Twenty-five dollars,\ responded the Alderman with a curl of his lip! \ Did you take it V said the foreman.
