This is why he always inspected itie bolts, bars and locks of the doors and windows every night, set the watch himself, and slept with the keys of the Temple under his pillow. But port, though an exquisite little wine, will tell its tale, and have its own way with a man at last, like labor, like age, like death. The citizen Losne become very talkative indeed, which showed that he was getting further on; then he sang a song, which showed that he was getting further on ; then he essayed to dauce, which showed that he was getting drunk ; then he told a story about a pig in tho South of France, and criedwhich showed that he was very drunk indeed. "Citizen Commodore," he said all at onee, "would you like to take a walk on the Boulevard ?" He began to repent heartily of his imprudence. He began, finally, like FttlstafF. to perceive that he had been an ass ; and, worse than all, that he had effected thai undesirable metamorphosi* himself.

SCRANTON HOUSE, The "Three Muses" wore threo royalist ladies, hiding their real names under the fabulous soubriquets of Thalia, Melpomeoe and Clio, who had long and successfully evaded the pursuit* ol the police, and who were notoriously continually conspiring to efffcCt the deliverance of sir Sid uey Smith. It should bn known that at thii period, notwithstanding the sanguinary severity of the republican government against the Royalists, France and Paris swarmed with secret emmissurieN from foreign power*, known as " alarmists," '•uccupareurs ;" but more under the gene, ric name of "agents de I'd rangers," und by the populate as "I'itt et.Coburgs." It was pretty well known to the police, when our fat friend alluded to the Three Muses, that an intricate and elaborate network of intrigues, plots and counterplots existed for lh* release of sir Sidney Smiih ; that neither money tur men were wanting to effect this, should ail opportunity occur;—and that persons secretly powerful were working day and night :o bring that opportunity about. This is why the English commodore had been «o particularly recommended to citizen Lasnea, and why the fixed idea we have meutioued was so prominent in that patriot's mind. "You pardon me, Citizen Commodore,' the jailer continued, rising, but casiing a loving look at the decanters, "but 1 don't like to see you look thoughtful. Think' ing means running. I must go and enamine ail the locks, and order the night watch to be doubled." " No speaking to any one you meet on the road.
