Impelled by curiosity I entered the dark recess?a gust of wind suddenly closed the heavy dorn- with a hang. I tried to open it hut found that I it was closed on the out side with a spring j lock. T shouted and screamed myself hoarse, but of course without being heard. The place was ns dark as ercbus, und so closely did th<- door lit that not one ray of light pcnclra'ed to illuminate this dismal place, So guddci) hud been the Catastrophe that I ban ly began to realize in their full force the horrors of my situation. Again and again 1 endeavored to force the door until my whole body ached with bruises resulting from the fruitless at tempts.

The walls of my dungeon wero of massivo stone, and the door ofiron, besides which, the place was t? j'jdtfO from its appearance, never used and it might be weeks before enquiries would bo'mado concerning tbe solitary stranger who had disappeared.

A fearful thought presented itself, "the rats are. about to devour me," but what puzzled me exceedingly was from wheacpcould the musical sounds proceed. A musical rat was a rare animal?ull the descriptions of animals I had ever, from my infancy, heard or read, passed rapidly before nie. In vain did I endeavor to search for a rat that produced the faintest resemblance to a harmonious sound"; although very weak I endeavoured to rise. Just then the sounds ceased and the sharp tooth of some creature pene trated deeply into inyfaoa this was total ly insupportable and making another lunge at the door, I awoke?to find my self in my chamber?on the lloor?the bod clothes with me, mosquitoes by the thousand around me, and the entire fam ily at the door begging to know if I was ill or had suddenly lost my reason. ' A. S-5NODUUAS3: Lafayette and Arnold's Treason. But the event.of the visit of mine to Paris was my introduction, by Francis Wright, to General Lafayette. OH*all men living, he was tho one IhiOSt enthu siastically admired und the one I had most earnestly bulged to see. These feeling* had gained fresh fervor in the United States; Jus', two months before I landed at New 'York, Lafayette had returned home in the Brandywinc, after a year's sojourn in the laud which he had aided to liberate, and by which be had boon welcomed as never nation, till linn, had welcomed a man. i heard his praise on every tongue, I found love and gratitude toward him in ho doubt, transparent, and these may have won for me, fioni one of the most genial of men, a hearty reception. At all events, he devoted himself to satisfy my curiosity, with an overflowing good iial?re und a winning kindness and sim plicity thai 1 shall remomber to my dy ing day. A few items of our conversation I still most distinctly recollect, (hie incident, presenting the Father of his Country in j a rare aspect, ever recalls tu me, v.heu I tliink of ii, the tender eyes and tho gra cious, loving manner which made the grand old Frenchman the idol of all young people who were fortunate enough to share bis friendship. It was just beforo the unmasking of the sob traitor who loomed up dniing our K< volution, on one of the most event ful days in njl that eventful period, ntul more than four yours after the immortal Declaration had been read from the.steps of the olil Philadelphia Sude House; it wa; the '-!"?i!> of September, 17S0. On the afternoon <-i the preceding day, Washington, after dining at Fishkill, had sei out with his suite, intending to reach Arnold's headquarters, eighteen mih s distant) that evetiing.'What would ; have happened had he carried out his intention, we can only conjecture. What iinii call chance?a casual meeting near Pishkili with the French miuistcr. De Luzcrnc?induced him to n.main there that night. Next morning, a'ftcrsond ing notice to Arnold thai lie might ex pi et him to breakfast, ho again changed his. in ten! eon, turning oil' to visit same redoubts on the Hudson, opposite W^.st Point, and sending two nids-de'-eniUp to apologize. It was while these officers were al breakfast with the family that Arnold received the tic-patch which an nounced Andre's capture; and caused his l Arnold'*) instant flight} ou pretence, to hi* visitors, of a call to West Point. Some, hours later, Washington, arriving with General Ivnox and General Lafay ette, and finding Arnold gone, followed him, its lie supposed, across tho river, and learning that Arnold had not been ' to West Point, returned to dinner. As Washinton approached the house, his aidj Colonel Hamilton, who bud remain ed behind, came hurriedly to meet him and placed in his bands :? despatch, which, confidential staff officer, ho had already opened, and which disclosed Arnold's treachery. Washington com niunicnted its contents, doubtless before dinner, to General Ivnox, and to him alone, with the lirief and significant words, "Whom can wc trust now?" The usual version is that he thus com inunicaled the poteutcus news to Gener al Knox and Lafayette jointly; but that ? ; is an error. The statement made to mo by the latter, during our journey to La * Grange, surprised and interested mo at the time, and has remained indelliblyi impressed on my memory. It was this: When Washington sat down to dinner, no unusual emotion was visible on his countenance. He was grave and silent, . but no more so -than often happened when recent tidings from the "army occu pied his thoughts. At tho close of the meal he beckoned Lafayette to follow him, passed to an inner apartment, turned to his young friend without utter- * - ing a syllable, placed tho fatal despatch ' in his hands, and then giving way to an', ungovernable burst of feeling, fell on hwq neck and sobbed aloud. The effect pro duced on the young French marquis, ac customed to regard his generul (cold and dignified -in his usual manner) as devoid of the common weaknesses of humanity, may he imagined. "I believe," said La fayette to me in relating this anecdote, "that this was tho only occasion through out the long and sometimes hopeless - struggle that Washington ever gave way . even for a moment, under a reverse of fortune: and perhaps I am the only hu man being who ever witnessed in him an exhibition of feeling so foreign to his J temperament. As it was, he recovered himself before I had perused the corarau-. uication that had given rise to his es I citement, and when we returned to his staff, not a traco remained in his de* inc?iior either of grief or despondency." A dusty, sun-browned stranger stalked^ into one of our principal hotelsjfl^fi ? ' evening, laid a. big biacjrfH . .1 had perhaps made qW.M appearance in it.s youth, carefunPH him, and, with a hand uimecustomcwH public writing, scrawled with great ox-^Jj ertion the name of Lorezo Smith upon the register. "Will you have some supper, Mr. .Smith?'* asked the clerk. "Wall, no, I guess not," returned tho rustic gentleman. "The folks at homo put up a good bit of grub, and thar's ohuff left in this ycrc carpet-bag for a" flipper, I recon." The clerk smiled, and the country man and his torpulant carpet-bag wore shown to their room. Country was some what dazed at its magnificence, hut ho was hungry, and, placing the satchel on the center table, he drew forth a large chunk of boiled ham, numerous pieces of cold chicken, several enormous dough nuts, and half-a-dozen hard-boiled egga. He was ahout to absorb the meager re past into his starving system, when his eyes caught sight of the "rules for guests" tacked upon the door. He gbt up and read them aloud. He came to tho last one, and read, "Meals in room charge extra." Ilo read it again, this time slowly. "Wall, I he danged," he ejacu lated, and, turning to the table, in an in stant he had removed tho ham, dough nuts, eggs, ami all into tho omnivorous carpet-snek, ami in another instant ho was" down in the ollice, "I see, stranger vor sign tip thar in my room says meals in rooms charge ext ra." "Yes," responded the clerk, who recog nized the customer of a few minutes ago, and could scarcely repress his risibles. Due dollar cxtia."
