The robber fell to the ground as Giannina's father, whom her cries had brought to her assistance, arrived, but only in time to witness the intruder's escape, which he effected, although the blood with which the window was still imbued, testitied he had not escaped unhurt. Not long after this event, a stranger made his in the village, and succeeded i in obappearance taining the affection which Giannina had so constantly withheld from her rustic admirers. The suitor to whom she seemed thus favorably inclined was about thirty years of age, of handsome, though wild and haughty aspect. His stature was cousiderable above the middle size, and he would have appeared robust, had not his extreme paleness, occasioned by a wound, that he said he had lately received at the chase, and which still obliged him to wear his arm in a sling, given a sickly delicacy to his features.

Giannina's father, whose will was entirely subservient to her own, consented to the marriage: but from the day that it took place, the bride and bridegroom disappeared, leaving the afflicted parent as completely ignorant of their fate as the rest of the villagers. "Giannina," said Antonio to I his bride, as after the marriage ceremony, they were returning towards their father's roof, "let us escape awhile from the noisy festivity that awaits us, within the shade of the adjacent wood." but a dangerous resort," rejoined Giannina. "Dost thou fear?" said Antonio; and the inflection of his voice seemed to import more than thou Giannina attended but unto the words. The damsel was proud of her merited renown for courage, and replying with a degree of pique, that she would prove her daring, took with him the road that led to the ill-famed forest. They had wandered some minutes in its glades, when Giannina asked Antonio if he could still reproach her with her fears? "What should a sovereign dread within her he answered in a sarcastic tone.

It was not such the night it opened thy casement! But for this hand of mine, I've now a hand of thine; and the few drops of blood I do forgive thee! Homage to my Queen!" And at this moment Giannina looked a Queen. She turned to Antonio as though he also were a subject. "I neither love nor fear thee! Oflove thou to art unworthy! and fear what have I left to not I shall attempt to forego my fate, for whither should I fly but infamy would follow? I do devote myself thy victim, nay, thy faithful wife, and my own injuries forgive.

More than once had Antonio, for whose head a large reward was offered, been rescued by the quickness and courage of -But the Tyrolese troops to whom the Austrian commander at Naples had assigned the task of exterminating the banditti left them no repose. One day, harrassed beyond measure, and closely pursued, they reached a bridge so exposed to view, that they dared not hazard passing it. It was in summer, and the river over which the bridge was built now flowed in a narrow bed, but yet too deep to ford. They determined to take refuge under one of the arches which the current had abandoned. Hark! their pursuers Their steps are heard on the bridge! laws scarcely dared to breath-Giannina pressed her infant to her breast--it gave a feeble cryAntonio smothered it upon its mother's bosom!

One of his landscapes in which are introduced some figures of robbers, and of a young man who appears in captivity, is supposed to relate to his own story George M. is the name of an extraordinary young slave, the property of Mr. James Horton, who lives in Chatham county, about half way between Chapel Hill and Pittsborough, who has astonished all who have witnessed his poetic talent.

He is about 25 years of age, and of a mild and humble disposition and deportment. The following account of his beginning and progress in learning was derived from himself, and has been communicated to us by a friend, proverbial for his philanthropic feelings. He tirst learned the alphabet from hearing the school children rehearsing it. He then took the spelling book and became acquainted with the form of the letters. Gratified with such employment, he was soon able to spell and read.

At this period some person gave him a copy of Wesley's hymns, with which he was delighted, spending most of his leisure hours in reading it, and while at work endeavoring to make verses in imitation of it. Finding himself at a loss, in properly constructing his verses, he studied grammar and prosody. Being very intimate with the students of the University, who had discovered his extraordinary genius, he delighted to BI MRS. HEMANS.

Giannina was one of the most comely damsels in Calabria, and had many a wealthy suitor. To none, however, did she seem inclined to lend a willing ear. Some of a more tuned nature admired the maiden, and would fain have wooed her, but they were kept aloof by the haughty glance of her bright blue eye; a glance that was rendered more remarkable from the tender color of the eye, whose sable fringes formed another striking but agreeable contrast with its azure hue, and agreed with the glossy raven locks that shaded her snowy brow.

Giannina's father was by no means a thrifty man. His cottage had a better appearance than most of those in the village, of which it was the furthest habitation. The village itself was on the confines of a wood, which reached half way up the side of a wild, and in some places inaccessible mountain, and dreadful were the tales told of the banditti, with which it was infested. The villagers however, having nothing to lose, had also little to fear from their depredations; and indeed of lute, only one instance had been given of any attempt to disturb their tranquility. This attempt was made on the abode of Giannina's father, and it was supposed to have been thus directed from his being reputed one of the wealthiest inhabitants.

By the courage of Giannina it had been defeated. She was roused in the night by an attempt to force her window, when seizing visit them received from them a variety of whenever Sunday or holydy permit-, ted. He poetic works, the reading of which constitutes his greatest pleasure. They were in the habit of selecttopics upon which to exercise would his poetic muse; and the following Sunday, he return on transcribed.

He has no pleasure in associating with any but those of intelligence, and is always most delighted when he can get all amanuensis to transcribe his verses, and for this will walk every Sunday eight or nine purpose miles to visit the students of college.

HORRID MURDER. We have just been informed of a most shocking occurrence which took place in Giles county in this state, a few days since. The circumstances as they have been detailed to us on the authority of a gentleman of unquestioned veracity, who had them from a very respectable person direct from the neighborhood of the shocking scene, are as follows: A man (whose name our informant has forgotten.) who keeps a house some where in Giles county, left home with his wife with the intention of staying all night. He left the house in the care of two of his travellers ters. with directions to receive no his absence.

Late in the evening, an old men called and desired to stay all night. girls refused to entertain him, alleging as an excuse their father's commands. He insisted, and they finally agreed to let him stay. Some short time after, a young man called, whom they also refused to entertain; but upon insisting, backed by the request of the old gentleman, who pledg ed himself for his good behaviour, they consented that he should stay also. Some short time after they had retired to bed, the two travellers were awakened by a loud and unusual noise in the chamber of the sisters, who slept above them.

They instantly arose and went up stairs, the younger taking his pistols with him. At the door of the girl's room they countered a man passing out. He was hailed by the younger traveller, who demanded his name and errand. and the cause of the noise which had awakened them, and who threatened to shoot him ifhe remained silent, or persisted in his attempt escape. He made no answer, and on endeavoring to pass, the traveller shot him dead on the They then went into the room, where a most bloody and appalling spectacle met their view.

The two sisters with their throats cut, and weltering in their blood. They now sallied forth for the purpose of alarming the neighbors. The first house they came to, and the nearest this scene of blood, they informed the landlady what had happened, who immediately exclaimed "it is my husband you have shot!" She proved to be correct-it was indeed their neighbor who perpetrated the crime. seems the murderer, and the father of the ill fated girls were engaged in a law suit -they were the most material witnesses in the case, and the monster to get rid of their testimony, formed in the absence of their father, the diabolical resolution, in which he succeeded but too well, of depriving them of life. This world cannot explain its own difficulties, without the assistance of another.
