Slit-tritium A THRILLING INCIDENT. BY GUSTAVE AIMARD. __ ()N the day to which we allude, at about warmest hour Of the day, Donal Emilia, according to her wont, was indulging in a siesta in a hammock suspended orange trees, almost entirely overshadowed the entire nook. two in the afternoon. the from two enormous whose tufted crests A few paces from her, Rita, the quadroon, was carelessly rocking in a butacco, and giving the breast to the child. As we have said, the heat was stilling, The burning sunbeams made the sand on the garden walks sparkle like dia- monds; there was not a breath of air; the atmosphere, impregnated with the sweet exlialatinns of the flowers and fragrant woods, was intoxicating, and conduced to slum- ber. The birds, ltidden under the leaves, had ceased their song, and 7 were waiting till the evening breeze refreshed the soil ; a solemn silence brooded over nature, and the fall of a leaf would have been heard, so profound was the calm. Rita, in- voluntarily yielding to the narcotic influences that surrounded her, had fallen asleep with the child still clinging to her breast. All at once “Mum a strange, terrible, frightful thing 125.1,. occurredâ€"a horrible scene, which we feel a hesitation to describe, al- though we had the fact from a creditable Witness. The branches of the dahlra bush were gently and noiselesst parted, and in the space thus left free appeared the hideous and distorted face of Running Wa- ter. This man had, at the moment, something fatal and satanic in phy- siognomy, which would have filled with terror any one who saw? it. After remaining motionless for an instant, which be employed in look- ing around, through fear of being surprised, he laughed cunnihgiy in the Indian fashion, and began craw- ling softly till his entire body had emerged from the bush. Then he rose, carefully repaired the disorder his passage had caused in the bush, advanced two paces, placed on the ground a rather large bag he held in his right hand, folded his arms and gazed at Dona Emilia, who was sleeping calmly and peacefully in her hammock. with a strange fixedncss, and an expression of ha- tred and joy impossible to describe. I know not what gloomy thoughts agitated this man while he gazed at the sleeping lady, but his countenâ€" nth altered every secon I, and seemed to grow more and more fc- t'ocious. He made a move as if about to seize the bag on the ground in front of him, but suddenly reflected. ‘No,’ he muttered to himself, ‘ not that ; he alone would N.13.â€"-A carefulostler always in attendance suffer ;~,the vliearts of both of them must bleed. Yes, yes, my first idea is the best.’ Then, after tak- ing a parting glance at the lovely, sleeping lady, he stooped with a terrible smile, picked up the bag, which he placed under his left arm, and went away with a step light and Stealthy as that of a tiger pre- paring to leap oh its prey. Still, he only‘tvent it few paces. Turning suddenly to his right, he found him- self iu front of the nurse. The lat- ter was, still sleeping. intoxicated by the smell of the florists which appeared to bend over her, as if to‘ 172.1,, :5th sleep more easily upon her. et Sound Reason weigh more with us than Popular Opinion.” Ffiâ€"HMOND HILL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29. 1833.

With the up- per part of her body indolentl' thrown book, with «her eyes hall closed and veiled by her long black , lashes, and her rosy'lips slightly parted, so as to display her pearly teeth, the young quadroon with her slightly cOppery complexion was de. licious. We repeat that any one but Running VVa‘tei‘ would have felt subdued and vanquished by the sight of her. Her two lianzls,folded over the little girl, held her against her bosom, and seemed trying to protect her even in sleep, The in- fant was neither asleep nor awake. the nurse’s body in its huge folds, gently pushed the sleeping babe aside without doing it the slightest injury, and seizing the nipple the little creature 'had let go, glued its tor uttered acry of rage, and stamped his foot in. desperation-eâ€" He had forgotten the frenzied pas- ally that of wOmen. This time thrown out, and his vengeance slip- ped from him. What should he do ? To try and tear the snake from the prey it had seized would be incur- ring certain death; and then, fas- cinated bv the horrible spectacle he of grace and supplehess, enmithed hideous mouth to it. A Running Wa- sion snakes have for milk, especi- She was in that state of lethargic somholency Which seized on these frail creatures when they have sucked for a long time. Clinging to the, breast, on which she had laid her five snowewhite hands, the child, with her eyes already closed to sleep. was imbibinga drop of milk at lengthened intervals. The Indian regarded thisgroup with a tigcr’s glance, and for some two or three minutes, involuntarily fascin- ated by this picture, 'whose inno- cence .ind candor no artist would be able to depict, he stood gloomy and thoughtful, perhaps hesitatihg in the accomplishment of the infernal work he had meditated so long, and to execute which he had treacher- ously entered the hacienda. But Satan, conquered for a second, re- gained his ascendancy in the Red Skin’s heart; ‘It is uell,’ he mut- tered in a hollow voice. "The babe will die. The death of the child kills doubly father and mother. And he smiled once again that ter- rible and silent laugh which would have caused any one who saw it to shudder, and which was habitual to him. He fell back a step, and With a look around him be explored the neighborhood in its most hidden corners. Assured at length that no one could see him, he fell back till he reached the hole in one of the or- ange trees from which the ham- mock was hung, and which was ex- actly opposite the nurse ; then be carefully concealed himself behind a tree, and laid his bag on the. ground. This bani.r was of tapir hide.and fastened up with the great- est care. Th.- lridian stood mo- tionless for a second, then drawing his dagger, he did not take the, trouble to cut the leather thongs that closed the bag ; on the conâ€" trary, throwing himself back as if afraid of the consequences of the deed he was about to do, he ripped up the bag its entire length, and at once disappeared behind the trunk of a tree. The body of a cascabel, or rattlesnake, appeared in the gap- ing antics of the bag. Indian man- ners brand as infamous any man who. excepting in combat, strikes 1 i had before him, the Red Skin felt incapable of collecting his ideas.-â€"â€"- He looked on, suffering from a frightful nightmare, and awaiting with the most lively anniety the conclusion of this frightful scene.â€" ltita slept on, and the child even had not noticed its changed position, so gentle and measured had the snake’s movements been, and Was still slumbering. The cascabel, however. drank with such ardor the quadroon’s milk that the blood poured down her breast, and she was arousedrby the pain from her deep sleep. She Opened her eyes, and perceived the horrible animal. Rita endured a second of indescri- bable agony and despair, for she felt that she was hopelessly lost. Then, wondrous to relate, this half-sleep- ing woman, seeing herself through a mist Of blood in the power of the monster, suddenly formed an heÂ¥ roic resolution. She recognized with remarkable lucidity her fearful situation, and, completely forgot- ting herself, had but one thought, that of saving the child. A woman is a mother before all. God has placed in her heart a flame which nothing can extinguish. With her features distorted by terror, her templesinundated with cold perspi- ration, and her hair standing on end, she had the immense courage not to trcmblc or stir. [and held back in her parched threat the cry of horror ready to burst from it : in a .word, she remained in the same position as if she were still asleep. The Indian himself, struck with admiration at this sublime emotiOn, felt his iron heart melt, and he al- most regretted being thc cause of this fearful catastrophe. The snake still enjoyed it horrible repeat. and gorged itself with the milk mingled with blood which it drew from the breast of its hapless victim. At length its coils relaxed, its eye gra- dually lost its fascinating lustre, and with an almost. insensible undu- lationit left the prey to which it was clinging. Completely gorged with milk,it rolled off to the ground, and crawled away in the direction of the shrubs. The mulatto then a hands, sat up straight as a statute, «M,» and uttered a fearful cry. ther, motherl’ she said with a sob that lacerated her throat, ‘take your child.’ Dona Emilia, aroused by this cry, bounded like a lioness from her hammock, and seized her babe Rita then fell back, with her breast bleeding, and her features ldistortcd by pain, and writhed in frightfulr convulsions. Dona Emi‘ lia leant over her. ‘ What is the maticr, in Heaven’s namel’ site asked her in horror. ‘ The snake, see the snake, mother l’ the quad- roon exclaimed, as sh.- raised herâ€" self with a last effort and pointed to the reptile which was quietly gliding along the sand; then 5110 uttered a fearful groan, and fell lbackâ€"-dead. Don Annibal and tltc priest, attracted by the cries, rushed into the arbor, and at once compro- liended the frightful accident which most have occurred. The hacin- dcro ran up to his wife, white Fa- ther Sandoval bravely attacked the snake and killed it. The Indian and kills a child at the breast. Ha- tred is intelligent, and Running Wa- ter had found the means to satisfy his upon the poor little creature without breaking the rules of his tribe. He had gone in search of a snake, which was not difficult to find. He enclosed itin a bag of ta- pir hide so that it could not escape. and kept it for several days without food so as to restore to the animal, which he had surprised while digesting a gorge, all its original . ferocity. When the Red Skin supposed that the snake was in proper condition, he, entered the garden as we have seen. The snake, suddenly liber- ated from the dark and narrow priâ€" son in which it had been so long confined, began unrolling on the ground its monstrous coils. At first half asleep and dazed by the bright light of day it remained for a mo~ merit in a state of stupor, balancing itself to the right and left hcsrtat- l lseized the child in her clenched ingly on its enormous tail, throwing its head back and opening its hide- ous mouth till it displayed its awful fangs. But gradually its eye grew brighter, and breathing a strangled hiss it rushed with undulating bounds towards poor Itita. The Indian, with his body bent forward, heaving chest, and eyes enormously dilated, looked after it eagerly ; at length he held his vengeance in his grasp, and no human power could take it from him. But a strange thing hap- pened,= which filled the Indian hllt’li self with horror.- Upon reaching the nurse the snake, after a moment‘s hesitation, chief had disappeard with the bound of a wild beast, after exchanging with Donna Emilia a glance of aw- ful purport. The lady, with calm brow and a smile on her lip, nursed her bnbc, which was now awake, while singing one of those touching American tunes with which these innocent _ creatures are lulled to sleep. She was mad. ‘ I rise for inform‘alion,’ said a member of a legislative body. “ 1 am very glad to bear it,’ said a by- stander, for no: man wants it more.’ again the lndian’s calculations were; 1 I I AURORA AND“ RICHMOND HILL.

Whole No. I”. destruction of life in the Americas and medical treatment, has led to a cry against the contractors for the worthlessness and even unwholesome non of the provisions whtch'the y are furnished. According to late ac- ness in the array are. caused much moreby the kiudof food which the soldiers buy for themselves than by the government rations. .‘lt'appears that they purchase enormous 'quan- titics ofsugar candy and other sweet~ meats, and as such'trash causes fer- mentation in the stemach, followed by general derangement, there is little wonder that in the hot climate of Virginia so many became ill and die from sickness. Referring to this curious feature in the history of the war, the Philadelphia North flmeriâ€" can of July 14. says, “ A single item will serve to illustrate the pernicious character of the stuff furnished by sutlers and pcdlars to the soldiers. Candies are actually sold regularly and in large quantities to nearly all the volunteer regiments in the field! There is how lying on the desk of a single house in Philadelphia an order for twenty-seven hundred pounds of candy for the regiments at Norfolk. This trade has been carried on ever since the breaking out of the war, and the consumption of candies by the soldiers, if furnished in monthly statistics would lastonish the world. When the correspondent Ofthe‘Lon- don Times stated this fact in his let- ters We treated it as unfounded. But it is no longer susceptible of denial. Strange as it may seem. the stalwart soldiers who are re- gardcd as fierce, sauguinary. and heroic, feed as regularly on candies as any lovcsick maiden or school girl. Just fancy the men who went forth to the ten days’ marching and fight- before Richmond, stalling their stomâ€" achs with candies in order to. fit themselves for the struggle. And under the burning sun of the Caro- linas, where the miasma' of the swamps is supposed to be so fcarfully destructive of human life, the men entrusted with the honour of the national flag prepare to combat sick- ness and death by laying in a good stock of mint-stick,gum drops.choco- late nuts, burnt almonds, and other delightful and wholesome com- pounds. With this lesson bcfore us is it any wonder that our" hospitals are filled with invalids, and that more men are lost to the army by sickness than by woundsin battle"! Is it any wonder that regiments ofa thouSand men melt away into no- thingl It is not the-death dealing grape-and canister shot, nor the ter- rible belt of the rifled cannon, nor the musical monster sent forth from the Minnie musket, which sweeps them away so much as the volleys sent forth by the suttlers candy jars.’ Truly, a sweet army !-â€"C'ommum'- cated. .â€" Coun FEET.--NO person can be well long whose feet are habitimlly cold; while security for them, dry- ness and warmth are the certain means of removing a variety of ali- ments. The feet of some are kept more comfortable iii winter if cotton is worn, while wollen suits others bet- ter. The wisest course, therefore, is for each one to observe for him- self and act accordingly. Scr‘upUlods cleanliness is essential to thc healthful warmth of feet; hence all, especially those who walk a good deal out of doors during the day in cold weather, should be Sure to dip both feet in cold water every morning. and let them remain half ankle deep, for half a minute at a time, then rub and wipe dry, dress and move about briskly to warm them up. To such as cannot well adopt this course from any cause, the next best plan is to wash them every night in warm water before going to bed, taking the precaution to dry them before the fire most thoroughly before retiring ; this, be- sides keeping the feet clean, pre- serves a natural softness to the skin, has a tendency to prevent and cure corns. Many a troublesome sore throat affection, and many a trouble- some hcadachc will be cured if the feet are kept warm, soft, and dry.
