During that disastrous period of Napoleon's ca¬ reer, known asthc'Hundred Days,' a portion of 'die Province of Morbihan in I^fiUany rose in arms, ond a bnltle look place near Anray, between the rniurgcnts and cerlain skirmishing purlies, who •were usually Jcsignolcd as tho 'Blues.'.. Tho of- fair was so minute a spark of civil v.-ar, that it dc ECrvcd no mention in history; yet it cost the lives cf admo hundreds of men, whoso blood wns poured oat liko water in tho trenches of tho deep nnd sunk¬ en roads which Irnvorse thnt peculiar country, Il was in thoic trenches that iho most of the bodies were found, and the magistrate whose duty it was ta clear thc lielil cf battle after Ihc light, exclaimed, with a sort of barbarous iiaivette, that it looked like the end ofa harrcsl frolb, •x'mtis thd men were deeping offtheir drunkenness. On the second day after Iho licttb, ]'j:st ct the grey cf the morning, a young peasant girl, wilh her tickle on her arm, took her way to hcr usual dolly labor in the fields, As chb pi-cc'tcddd s'.owly along thc road, sho looked curiously siound upon the trees pierced with bullets, the hedges lorn and broken, and the ground beaten and trampled ashy many feel. For a greal dislance, iho rocd was lit¬ erally strewn with buttons, bits of braided worsicd, the remains of epaulettes, carlouch boxes, fragments of Breton cops, pierced by balls or bayonets, splash¬ es of half-congealed hlood, and all tho horrible in¬ dications of n fierce and recent conflict. But the bodies of the slain had nlrendy disappeared. Du¬ ring the night thc peasants had given them Chris¬ tian burial, and the women had traversed the bat- girl advnnced nearer, and deniilnded what he de¬ sired of her. 'Where nre my comrades, tho bluesl' v-aa his first question. 'I'hey are gone.' 'Gone! since whenV 'They went yesterday.' 'Impossible! why surely we were victcricus.' Tho girl made no reply, but stood silent and un- moveable as if sho hnd not comprehended his ques¬ tion. She hnd already deceived him, for his com¬ rades wcrc still al Auray, and now to all his re- hewed questions, sho replied in such a manner as to make him believe that he was abandoned wilh¬ out hope of succor from his companions.—Tho poor fellow had been wounded at Ihe closo of the day, while pursuing the Chovans, and had passed the nighl ih thc morass, suffering the most excru¬ ciating pain, and only sustained by tho hopo that some lucky chance might discover his condition to his comrades. Tho news of their departure almost drov£'hira to despair. He had no strength to fol¬ low lliem, aud he dared not show himsolf in open day, lest ho should bo assassinated by tho hostile peasantry. His only hope now rested on the girl. He was a native of her own privincc; his fadicr ond brothers.were flsuermon of Locmuatiaquer, only a few leagues distant, and Ihcy could savo him if in¬ formed of his danger. . Ho conjured her, therefore, lo Bcck them; ho employed supplications, tears, even menaces, but sho was insensible to all. While he was talking with hcr, she lemained standing al a litdo distance, with har cyea greedily searching for soir.cthinu she might appropriate, uiitil lliry ac¬ cidenlly fell upon the poor sailor at her feel. That look discovered to her n prize. Engerly approach¬ ing him, she said iri a low hoarse whisper— 'Ifyou would have mc to go lo Locmariaqucr, you musl give mo your wntch.' As she spoke she seized the chain, but the wo'jnded man, throwing himself bnck, and re^iulsihg her with all his re¬ maining strengdi, cried, 'Not now, not now; when you relurn wilh my falher, you shall havo tho watch ond the money.' 'Have you money, tool' nsked the girl. 'Yes, it shall be all yours when— 'Where is the moneyl' 'I havo. it safe.' 'Show it to mc' 'Piomisc, then, lo savo me.' 'Show mc the money.' Tho poor fellow drew lowards him the knnpsack whicii 'rf b-i'i "--1 -"'' —-¦* '-onl fiver it., whilo his leeuft; nands began slowly lo loosen tho buckles that closed it. The girl mado one step backwards, to givc force to her blow, and the next icslnnt thc sickle descen¬ ded upon his head with n force that clove him to ihebiain. The victim never breathed ogam,—he stretched out hia orms, and fell heavily forwnrd, widi his face resting bn tho knapsack. Thb mur¬ deress only v/aited to bc sure that life T/ns extinct, then deliberately des] oiling him of his wntch, mo¬ ney, nud clothiiig, sho quietly washed tho stains cf lo appecr, she heard the lone of this vengeful song. Her punishment wns now no longer the ordinnry penally of crime, having its limit oi limc and plnce, nnd demnnding only the liberty or the life of the offender.. Her guilt, by this neV; species cf retri¬ bution, hnd become public property, ils punishment wns identified wilh the most durublo memorials cf public morals nnd manncrsi It was not rcccrdod in Ihe dusty volumes of Ihe law, bul it was senl abroad on the wings of music and poetry, to reach evry ear. ond to turn from her every hear;. The mark of Cain was upon hor brow; her fullovz-'oeiiigs weie hcr lormehters, withholding Iheir hdnds from her lifo, yet infliciing a dnily dcalh upon her by their loathing ond scorn. In vain oho nought'lo fly froralhe scene of her guilt. Hcr eriraa seemed hcrne on the very winds of heaven, and r/hercver tho voice ofthe shepherd broke thc stillness of na¬ ture, thero resounded the frightful burden cf thslt ovenging song. • Once, OS cho r/andcred awny from human sccr::, sho beheld in a meadow, at some distanco from Auray, a child ot play among the daisies.—A sud¬ den yearning filled hcr hearl; sho opproochcd the merry boy, and scaled herself beside him. For more than a year thc dcscldte creature hod not touched o human hand, or listened to tho sound of a kindly human voice, and she now found a mo¬ ment of inexpressible happiness in thc innocent caresses of the happy child. Too joyous lo know any thing of foar, hs res- tied beside her, glad to find a companion in Lis sports, while she, pressing him to hcr bosnm, amused him, ofler the manner ufa tender inolher, by talcs and songs. Tho child had listened with delight, but when she had finished ho looked in her face, OS if, in his simplicity, he sought to repoy her kinibicss, ho said— .. .'!V!y fullier taught me a prcUicr song thnn yours;' snd ho began to sing— 'Oh listen, Christian neighbors, to a crime of deep¬ est hue, Mario Marker v. ilh her oicklo his killed tho wound¬ ed blUo.' Al theso terrihle ivords the unhrippy girl ullered a wild cry, and dropping the unconscious child frem hcr knee, fled like a hunt«d wild benst into the woods. Tl wos the finol hlow of the unseen avengers—her punishment was greoler than she could boor, and from that hour Mario becomo c hopeless maniac. . ' When I first saw l-cr she had been ecmc ycc.r3 in this stole, nnd I shall never forget hcr Fiugular nppenranee. She was n largi robust girl ofQJ, wilh 0 remarkable squorencas of outline, end a cer¬ tain rig'-iity cfmclion, tl'.at rctemblcd thc nwkwaid movements ofan ill joined wooden figure. There was no play cf muscles visible, no Irocery of veins uiscovcrnblb benealh Iho tanned or.d sworthy skin.

Apnil ?0, 184*.—tf. nately despoiling a deod enemy, ond offering up proycra for a Ibst friend.—Much rich booty had been obiained, and, lo judge by Ihe pre-occupied manner of tho peasont girl, as she now scrutinized Ihe thickets on both sides oflhe rood, she was not without expectation cfgleanihg sbtho romnonts of tbo. plunder. But hcr hopes seemed to ^ow fointer aa she proceeded; ond as she reached a wide marsh, over¬ grown wilh thick brushwood, she quickened her pace, when she was stailled by a sudden move¬ ment among rhahoB that bordered the morass. A l- picst at the came instant the clashing of iron slruck upon her eor, Ihe point of a bayonet oppeored glit¬ tering in the foliage, and n blood-stained figure fee¬ bly and painbilly drogged itself forlh from its lurk¬ ing place in the motsh. Tho girl suddenly stoop¬ ed; she uttered nol the slightcal sciind, but she held with a firmer gtosp tho hondle of her sickle. The I imploring gestures efthe wounded man, together wilh a few words whieh he uttered in the longuage of Ihe counlry, sebhiod td excite her interest, and she opproochcd K fow steps townriis him. He hod by this dme succeeded, by the aid of hi* gun, in rising lo his knee, nnd the girl discovered by his blue jacket and tho device of his buttons, thaihe belonged to one of thoso companies of marines who had fought so valiantly at the liottio of Auroy. As she paused with on oir of indecision, the wounded man entreated her to approach, and in order to in¬ sure her that ho had no power, even if ho possessed the will to molest hcr, ihowed her that his leg wu hcr,nnd went on to her daily labor in tho field. On her return homo nl night sho displaped her pri:e io her friends, simply remoiking that she hod been lucky enough to find the body of a Blue in hcr way—on explanation quite sotisloctory at a mo¬ ment when such chonceswere frequent in a coun¬ try filled with commoiion. On ihot some evening, however, tho hody oftho unlorlunate soldier wns fcund and recognized by his family. Several circumstances conjoined to throw suspicion on Iho girl, and ere many days hod elopsod no doubt remained of her guilt. The mur¬ dered marine waisa conscript, cne ofthat numerous class of young men who wero compelled in those days lo endure nn opinion along wilh o uniform, and to wear tho cockade of the government parly, whatever that parly mighl hnpprn to bc. A nativo of Brillnny, he hsd been forcibly enrolicj nt Bri?st, end v/hen his regiment was sent into the interior of thc counlry, ho was nccessaiily corapellod to combat on his native soil, and against his own peo¬ ple. This peculiar position was well under.itood by the peasants, for it hed been Ihc fale of many oftheir children, and tho denlh oflhe youlh was lamented therefore hke Ihnt of a friond. This sympathy for tho victim was of course ac¬ companied by the deepest indignation ngainsl Ihe murderess. There seemed such doublo-eyeil wick¬ edness in the deed, that every hcntt was revolted by it. He had fallen by the hand of a woman, while he was nppealing to womanly tenderness, ond the mennness of the molive seemed lo add a deeper guilt to tho heinous crime. As it nlwnys ha|ipens in those generous re-ncliona of feeling, when pnrly spirit 'it suddenly quelled for a moment by the voice of equity, Ihe peoplo seemed aaif they could scarcely express Iheir indignalion wilh suflicient force. As thc lows eilher could nol, or would not punish tho criminol, public opinion took upon itselfthe task.—The girl was driven out of Ihe community, and avoided by oil, as if thc taint of lepioay was upon her. No former would employ I her to labor in his fields; no proprietor would rent her 0 cabin on his doanin. Her only refugo was the church perch, where she crouched liko an ac¬ cursed thing ol the door ofthe sonduary, she dared not enter. Every one hhrank osido as her shadow full upon them in her aimless wanderings. If sho opproHchtd Iho founlain, whence Ihe village drew its supply of wcter, the women uaually nssembled thero would instanlly hush Iheir Idle gossip, snatch up Iheir holf-filled pitchers, and hurry awoy, ex¬ claiming, "make room for the murderess!" To sel the final seal to her public reprobation, a ballad was composed, selling forlh her horrid crime in all die coarso but graphic language nf popular art hns been unnble to remove more than hab the veiling grnnile, nnd which leave you in doubt Tbo Buctcyc Women, ' The Indies of Ohio are rrg'jlar omnzons, when they have n will lo exterminsts a social iiesl in the shape of a liquor distiller, as may bo Inferred fiom tho following incident related in iho last Wcslern Washingtohinn : In Medina counly, the last dialillory has been stopped, and converted inlo o Tempernnce Hall by tho lodies. Thc incident rcloied by Ihe dp|e|>ola frum that counly is os fallows:—Thc ladies appoint¬ ed ft committee of six lo wuii upon Ihc distiller and rijqiioslcd hiia tj> di-aisl.

The distiller informed her that h'j WQ3 not there, she persisted in the decla¬ ration thalho wns. Ho allempled to put her out, when she turned upon him and threw him into a mud hole some two feet d(!cp,and his dork coming lo tho rescue, sho tlircalciicd him in the same way. She then found her husband laying in a dying alale in the oflice. She lifted him up, supporled his fee¬ ble frame to hcr humble hoi-^c, icid ihc dislillei- she would give him llircc diiys lo dote uji businesj, and if hc did not, shn would bring r reinforcement of ladies and teor il down. On the «econ«! day h» sent her word thol ho had cl'jscd up, nnd opened his distillery for a tompercoce nieeti-ig! Amusing: Anecdote. The "Louisville Journal" tells a good anecdote of 0 recent scene in Krankfort. It says, nl a ball in Prooklort the ether evcniiiij a young gcnilcmun it is said, look an undue liiierVy wilh a prcny laily. Thc lady made hcr comjilainl lo tl.c genlleman Willi whom she wos doncitig. Thcicupun, the lost named genllemon knocked ihc first named t'cnlle- luan down in Ihe ball-room.

AN INCIIIENT IN KEAL LIFE.
During that disastrous period of Napoleon's ca¬ reer, known asthc'Hundred Days,' a portion of 'die Province of Morbihan in I^fiUany rose in arms, ond a bnltle look place near Anray, between the rniurgcnts and cerlain skirmishing purlies, who •were usually Jcsignolcd as tho 'Blues.'.. Tho of- fair was so minute a spark of civil v.-ar, that it dc ECrvcd no mention in history; yet it cost the lives cf admo hundreds of men, whoso blood wns poured oat liko water in tho trenches of tho deep nnd sunk¬ en roads which Irnvorse thnt peculiar country, Il was in thoic trenches that iho most of the bodies were found, and the magistrate whose duty it was ta clear thc lielil cf battle after Ihc light, exclaimed, with a sort of barbarous iiaivette, that it looked like the end ofa harrcsl frolb, •x'mtis thd men were deeping offtheir drunkenness.
On the second day after Iho licttb, ]'j:st ct the grey cf the morning, a young peasant girl, wilh her tickle on her arm, took her way to hcr usual dolly labor in the fields, As chb pi-cc'tcddd s'.owly along thc road, sho looked curiously siound upon the trees pierced with bullets, the hedges lorn and broken, and the ground beaten and trampled ashy many feel. For a greal dislance, iho rocd was lit¬ erally strewn with buttons, bits of braided worsicd, the remains of epaulettes, carlouch boxes, fragments of Breton cops, pierced by balls or bayonets, splash¬ es of half-congealed hlood, and all tho horrible in¬ dications of n fierce and recent conflict. But the bodies of the slain had nlrendy disappeared. Du¬ ring the night thc peasants had given them Chris¬ tian burial, and the women had traversed the bat-
girl advnnced nearer, and deniilnded what he de¬ sired of her.
'Where nre my comrades, tho bluesl' v-aa his first question. 'I'hey are gone.' 'Gone! since whenV 'They went yesterday.' 'Impossible! why surely we were victcricus.' Tho girl made no reply, but stood silent and un- moveable as if sho hnd not comprehended his ques¬ tion. She hnd already deceived him, for his com¬ rades wcrc still al Auray, and now to all his re- hewed questions, sho replied in such a manner as to make him believe that he was abandoned wilh¬ out hope of succor from his companions.—Tho poor fellow had been wounded at Ihe closo of the day, while pursuing the Chovans, and had passed the nighl ih thc morass, suffering the most excru¬ ciating pain, and only sustained by tho hopo that some lucky chance might discover his condition to his comrades. Tho news of their departure almost drov£'hira to despair. He had no strength to fol¬ low lliem, aud he dared not show himsolf in open day, lest ho should bo assassinated by tho hostile peasantry. His only hope now rested on the girl. He was a native of her own privincc; his fadicr ond brothers.were flsuermon of Locmuatiaquer, only a few leagues distant, and Ihcy could savo him if in¬ formed of his danger. . Ho conjured her, therefore, lo Bcck them; ho employed supplications, tears, even menaces, but sho was insensible to all. While he was talking with hcr, she lemained standing al a litdo distance, with har cyea greedily searching for soir.cthinu she might appropriate, uiitil lliry ac¬ cidenlly fell upon the poor sailor at her feel. That look discovered to her n prize. Engerly approach¬ ing him, she said iri a low hoarse whisper—
'Ifyou would have mc to go lo Locmariaqucr, you musl give mo your wntch.' As she spoke she seized the chain, but the wo'jnded man, throwing himself bnck, and re^iulsihg her with all his re¬ maining strengdi, cried, 'Not now, not now; when you relurn wilh my falher, you shall havo tho watch ond the money.'
'Have you money, tool' nsked the girl. 'Yes, it shall be all yours when— 'Where is the moneyl' 'I havo. it safe.' 'Show it to mc' 'Piomisc, then, lo savo me.' 'Show mc the money.'
Tho poor fellow drew lowards him the knnpsack whicii 'rf b-i'i "--1 -"'' —-¦* '-onl fiver it., whilo his leeuft; nands began slowly lo loosen tho buckles that closed it.
The girl mado one step backwards, to givc force to her blow, and the next icslnnt thc sickle descen¬ ded upon his head with n force that clove him to ihebiain. The victim never breathed ogam,—he stretched out hia orms, and fell heavily forwnrd, widi his face resting bn tho knapsack. Thb mur¬ deress only v/aited to bc sure that life T/ns extinct, then deliberately des] oiling him of his wntch, mo¬ ney, nud clothiiig, sho quietly washed tho stains cf
lo appecr, she heard the lone of this vengeful song. Her punishment wns now no longer the ordinnry penally of crime, having its limit oi limc and plnce, nnd demnnding only the liberty or the life of the offender.. Her guilt, by this neV; species cf retri¬ bution, hnd become public property, ils punishment wns identified wilh the most durublo memorials cf public morals nnd manncrsi It was not rcccrdod in Ihe dusty volumes of Ihe law, bul it was senl abroad on the wings of music and poetry, to reach evry ear. ond to turn from her every hear;. The mark of Cain was upon hor brow; her fullovz-'oeiiigs weie hcr lormehters, withholding Iheir hdnds from her lifo, yet infliciing a dnily dcalh upon her by their loathing ond scorn. In vain oho nought'lo fly froralhe scene of her guilt. Hcr eriraa seemed hcrne on the very winds of heaven, and r/hercver tho voice ofthe shepherd broke thc stillness of na¬ ture, thero resounded the frightful burden cf thslt ovenging song. •
Once, OS cho r/andcred awny from human sccr::, sho beheld in a meadow, at some distanco from Auray, a child ot play among the daisies.—A sud¬ den yearning filled hcr hearl; sho opproochcd the merry boy, and scaled herself beside him. For more than a year thc dcscldte creature hod not touched o human hand, or listened to tho sound of a kindly human voice, and she now found a mo¬ ment of inexpressible happiness in thc innocent caresses of the happy child.
Too joyous lo know any thing of foar, hs res- tied beside her, glad to find a companion in Lis sports, while she, pressing him to hcr bosnm, amused him, ofler the manner ufa tender inolher, by talcs and songs. Tho child had listened with delight, but when she had finished ho looked in her face, OS if, in his simplicity, he sought to repoy her kinibicss, ho said—
.. .'!V!y fullier taught me a prcUicr song thnn yours;' snd ho began to sing—
'Oh listen, Christian neighbors, to a crime of deep¬ est hue, Mario Marker v. ilh her oicklo his killed tho wound¬ ed blUo.' Al theso terrihle ivords the unhrippy girl ullered a wild cry, and dropping the unconscious child frem hcr knee, fled like a hunt«d wild benst into the woods. Tl wos the finol hlow of the unseen avengers—her punishment was greoler than she could boor, and from that hour Mario becomo c hopeless maniac. . '
When I first saw l-cr she had been ecmc ycc.r3 in this stole, nnd I shall never forget hcr Fiugular nppenranee. She was n largi robust girl ofQJ, wilh 0 remarkable squorencas of outline, end a cer¬ tain rig'-iity cfmclion, tl'.at rctemblcd thc nwkwaid movements ofan ill joined wooden figure.
