What this conversation would have led to, it j» impossible to say, for just at thi» moment Mrs. Allen, happening to glanoa out of the window, uttered an ejaculation of surprise and anger. The Original of Bluebeard. 1 At Champtoee, a little village near the j tight bank of the Loire, in France, aland • some impoaiog ruins, the remain* of one Of the castles of Giles de Bets, Sieur da Layal, called Barbe Blue—tho original*ol Blue Beard. This nobleman, who lived in the first half of the fifteenth century, was handsome in person, captivating in address, acquainted with books, and full of admiration for sufchf as spoke the latin language with ease and elegsnoe. He was considered religious, too, because his taste and ostentation led him to adopt the fashion then prevalent of maintaining a finely ornamented chapel, with many boy choristers, educated at great expense. His band waa large, finely disciplined, well supported, and formed a part of hia train wherever lie went.— He belonged to a princely family, was appointed a Marshal of France, and was especially honored at the coronation of Charles VII. by an order to repair to Bt. Remy's andjwng thence the holy attptfla. To hia ownwqgs. he appeared a brilliant and loyal cavalier, but a haunting fear of him gradually apread among tho peasantry wherever be dwelt. This fesr was just; fer within the recesses of his esstles at Cbamptoce, La Suce, and elsewhere, he pursued a course of unparalleled atrocity. Having squandered an immense fortune snd rained his constitution by his excesses, he resorted to magic. He took into his service an Italian priest of Pistoia, who persuaded him, or permitted him to believe, that hia property and health might both be restored by the use of a eharmed bath made of the bluod of young ohildren. He waa not deterred from the trial, either by its difficulty or horror, but immediately bagan to tax his ingenuity to procure victims.— Sometimes an old woman, called La Maffraie, traveled about the country, always with her face half-hidden by a black scarf. Whenever she chanced upon children tending cattle, or begging at a distance from their friends, she earrcssed and flattered ihem, and coaxed them little by little to tke grounds of De Bete. Onoe there they nover escaped. They were taken to the dungeons of the castle, where the monster killed them with prolongod tortures, enjoying their sufferings, and offeiing them to the devil with a prayer that he would grant him in return "gold, knowledge, and power." He went on thus for fourteen yesrs, snd destroyed, as it was computed, not less than * hundred and forty victims. As long as the country people alone suffered, no one dared to express their suspicions, but his instruments, growing bolder, began to entice away the children of townsmen, and obtained possession of the brother of a well known artist, promising to educate him as a chorister in the Laval chapel. Fortunately a rare combination of circumstances led to the arrest and punishment of the criminal. Three powers, seldom united in anything, agreed in getting rid of him, Jean V., Duke of Brittany, hie suserain, who could not endnre that the family of Laval and De Bets should ocoupy so many fortresses on the marohes of Maine, Brittany, and Poitou; the Bishop of Nantes, who held over him spiritual jurisdiction, and who hated him lor having forced one of hia churches; and the King ot France, Charles VII., whose constable was the mortal enemy of sorcerers. When, therefore, the Duke was on a visit to his cousin, the Bishop, at Nantes, the latter brought cortain charges against De Rets. The Duke entertained them, and a tribunal waa formed of the Biahop, who was also Chancellor of Brittany, the Viear of the Inquisition, and the Grand Judge of the Duchy. De Bete might have escaped, but he thought that no one would dare to proceed to extremities against him, and permitted himself to be arrested. At this welcome news a crowd of bereaved parents, brothers and sisters flocked to the court as witnesses against him, who were at length joined by his own agents, Henriet, his body servant, declaring that he had delivered to him with his own hand forty children.— He waa driven thus to a confession which struck terror to tho hearts of all who heard him. He waa condemned to be burned, and was placed at the stake, but was, out of regard to his rank, strangled before the flamea reached him. A Ministerial Shbll.—A Methodist tjifoister—a "reformed minister," the oerrcspondent of the Elmira Press alia him —has invented a new shell, which is tho® described : It has two compartments, or a shell with* tti a shell. The ipnpr chamber contains powder, the outer a pasty mixture of cstnphene and other intensely inflammable and explosive materials. When it bursts, this paste Is scattered in all directions, and seta fire to tVetything It falls upon—some that were experimented with burned even the grass and blackened the earth for fifty feet about it. Falling and bursting amid a body of meO, what a terrible result would follow ! Fragments of iron, old bullets, ntflts Snd such things flying about are uncomfortable, btit when you add to them the likelihood of" being scorched by another agent that sticks fast wherever it falls, you have a combination quite too fiendish to be talked tit lightly. One Puffer is the inventor. He took several of his shells tcr Washington, where the experiments that be made were eminently satisfactory to the examiners, and now the inventor has gone to est Point to superintend the manufkcture of five hundred thousand of these miaailcs. Should the war continnc, the ulerical inventor will have a fine opportunity of doing as he is reported to have said' he would do—"Faith, air, I preached hell fire and brimstone in the abstraot a long time, and now I'll give 'em a little of it is the concrete form."

"I don't know why, mamma," responded Jenny, mischievously, perceiving her advantage. "It seeuis that Squire Jones finds no difficulty in selecting some one to fill the place of his companion, who has been in her grave scarcely a twelvemonth." As Jenny said this, a well known -tep upon the graveled walk sent the warm blood to her cheeks; and presently a tall, ujiiiily form darkened the opert door, and a pleasant, deep-toned voice said, "Good jve-1 ning, Miss Jenny." As the widow Allen saw the unmistakable look of love and admiration in Mr. iVcderiok Bed ley's eyea, us they rested upon ber daughter, and the half shy, half pleased expression in Jenny's, as she raised them for a moment to qis face, a new lijtht seemed to break upon her mind.— "Ah," said she to herself, "so ifiat is your objection to Squire Jones, is 'ft? I'll sea if I can't remove it." If these suspicions were correct, and that was the reuson, no one could look upon that frank, intelligent countenance and not fee) that it was at least a sensible one; the Allen's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding ,j, ■ The n«jt morning, she was confirmed in her suspicions by * call from Mr. 8edley,- who requested a private interview. Mr* Allen led the way to the parlor, I seated herself upon a »ofa and awaited, in the West, farmers have plowed, logged and engaged in other legitimate Spring work. The widow looked slightly mollified at tins reply ; but how the buitle would have turned out is doubtful, had not Squire Jones, moved with pity by the evident distress upon Jenny's countenance, stepped forward and said: A chap writing from Denver says : •'On the 6th of June Cherry Creek Had * volume of water sufficient to ran a grist mill, and ten dayB afterwards it was ris dry as a doctrinal sermon." Squire Jones could not have beep far from fifty, but his simple and temperate habits, together with a naturally cheerful and placid disposition, made him took considerably younger. He was not, it is trne, exactly the beau ideal of a young girl's heart, still he was a fine portly looking man, and tho Widow Allen evidently thought so. And as the Squire leaned back in the e isy chair that the widow bad placed for him near the open window, and looked at the plump, tidy figure that sat opposite to him, with her bair banded smoothlv across the forehead that looked as fair and placid as in the d:Cys of her ohildbood, he could oot help thinking that the widow was still • pretty looking woman, andjkijat her late husband must have been a very happy nun.

What it was wo are unable to say, but it could not have been anything very displeasing, for the widow blushed and looked very smiling. Then turning to the young couple, aba said, vainly endeavoring to assume a gravity befitting the occasion: "Well, as Squire Jones is so good as to intercede for you, which is far more than you deserve, 1 will guy nothing more about it.
