THE SUBGEOITS EEVENGE. The following deeply interesting story was related by Dr. Gibsonj in one of his lectures before the medical men of the'University of Pennsylvania. The hero of. the story is "Vesale, one of the most eminent of Italian surgeons:

Andre Yesale first saw light in the city of Brussels. His father was an apothecary, attached to the service of the Princess Margaret, aunt of the Emperor Charles Y, and governess of the low countries.

Up to the period when Vesale first rendered himself conspicuous, the anatomy of the human body was so inipcrfectly understood, as scarcely to merit that the terms of science should be applied to the dim and confused ideas relating to it. Vesale was the first to break through the trammels which ignorancc and bigotry had crippled the march of science surmounting with admirable courage and constancy the disgust, the terror, and the peril, inseparable disposition of labor to which he had devoted himself, he was to be seen whole days and nights in the cemeteries, surrounded by the festering remains of mortality, or hovering about the'gibbets and disputing with the vulture for its prey, in order to compose a perfect skeleton from the remains of criminals, left there to be devoured by the carrion bird.

It was during a sojourn at Basle, after liis return from Italy, that Vesale first beheld, at the house of Hans Holbein, the painter, Isabella Van Steenwrak, the daughter of a rich merchant of Harlaem, who was destined to exercise some influence over his future life. lie was scarCcly twentyeight years of age, nud already he had attained the summit of well-directed ambi

tion. The family of Van Steenwrak was a wealthy and honorable one, far superior to that of Vesale in birth and fortune but the distinguished position the latter had acquired for himself, entitled him to aspire to an alliance even more exalted. The son of the Princcss Margaret's apothecary would have been rejected by the rich Harlaem burgher, but, as the Emperor's first physician, was acccptcd by him as the most eligible son-in-law. The marriage solemnized, Vesale, accompanied, by his.young bride, set off for Seville, where Charles then held his court.

Though she loved her husband, there was so much awe mingled with lier affection, as to throw an appearance of restraint, over her demeanor toward him, even in the privacy of domestic life. The very nature of his profession and occupation was calculated to increase that awe, and even to create some degree of repugnance in a shrinking mind, which nothing but strong affection could overcome. Isabella's nature required skillful drawing out. and tender fostering. Vesale, unfortunately, mistook this timidity for coldness, and resented it accordingly this led to estrangement on her part, which lie attributed to dislike, and jealous distrust at last took possession of his soul.

Vcsalc's house became the resort of all that was noble and gallant in Seville, and ho for a time believed his own scientific conversation to be the attraction. At first the young wife showed her usual calm indifference to the admiration that followed wherever she was seen but, at last, something in her manner and countenance, whenever one particular person appeared or his name mentioned, betrayed that there did exist, a being who had discovered the secret for causing the blood to flow more tumultously through her veins, 'lhat person was Don Alvar de SoliS and as he was young, handsome, gay, and the most inconstant gallant in Seville, the suspicions of Vesale were painfully arouscd.s- .He took silent notes of the unusual emotions that agitated Isabella whenever the nobleman was in her presence.

The. general conduct of Don Alvar was calculated to baffle suspicion, being marked by indifference. This would have misled the vigilant husband, had he not on one occasibn, when his back was turned toward Don Alvar, perceived him, in an opposite mirror, fix his kindling eyes upon Isabella with an expression not to be mistaken, while she grew red and pale by turns, and then, as though unable to surmount her agitation, rose and left the room. Shortly afterward Vesale received, an anonymous note, saying: «•», iw- LrH "Look to your wife and Don Alvar de Solis, and be not deceived by appearance. They only want a fitting opportunity to dishonor you Even now he Games about him the gloves she dropped for him at mass

Vesale shut himself .up to ponder, over the most effectual means of avenging himself. His resolution was Boon 'taken.— Having established schools of anatomy at San linear and Cordova, ho obtained the Emperor's permission to visit them, fitted Seville ostensibly for-that purpose, but returning the same night-, concealed^ himself in a tenement belonging to him at'

some

distance from his abode in Alcazar, which was devoted to the doable purpose of a labOratory and dissecting-room: 'tHe' had token rid'pereon irilo hts cohfidenoe he was alone in his_oyn counselv :',u

lPJ'

At.darkon the followj^ig eveningjke issued forth, muffled to the eyc8 in a woiwui's mantle and hood, and loft- a.note at.Don

Alvar'a habitation, containing in embroidered glove of Isabella's and" these words: J'l have obtajned the key to Yesale's laboratory during his absence be at the gate an hour after midnight, and you.will be admitted on pronouncing the name of Isabella."

The assignation was promptly kept by Don Alvar. At an hcur past midnight he left his house alone but he never returned to it. Whither he had gone none could say nor could any trace of him ever be discovered. It was supposed he must have missed his footing arid fallen, into the Guadalaquivir, near which his abode was situated, and that his body, had been swept away by the waves into the ocean.

Such an occurrence was calculated to produce a great sensation in the place where it happened and Vesale, recalled three weeks after, by the illness of his wife, found the disappearance of Don Alvar the theme of every tongue. The altered appearance of Isabella was attributed by Vesale to grief for the mysterious absence of Don Alvar, and that conviction took from him all pity for her sufferings. -It chanced to be the festival of Santa Isabella, and to do honor to her patron's saint, as well as to celebrate the return of her husband, Isabella put on her wedding dress, and seating herself by an open easement tliat overlooked the Alvar gardens, she watched for his coming. But while her eyes were vainly fixed upon the path, by which she expected him to appear, a hand was laid on-her shoulder, and, turning round, she beheld Vesale standing by

her./"'\

:i'

"I have ordered the supper tote laid in my study," said he and, "taking her hand, he led her away to the room in question, dismissed the attendant, and closed the door. Everything wore a festive air, yet the repast wa.s cheerless. Perceiving that she had tasted nothing, Vesale poured a few drops from a vial of elixir in a cup of Malaga wine, and presented it to her. "Drink this," he said "it is a sovereign cure for the complaint you are suffering from." "Pledge me the draft," she replied, filling up a goblet from the same flask and handing it to him, "and it will bring a quicker healing to me. Let us drink to our absent friend, Andre." r.t

He accepted the offering, and they emptied their goblets together. Talking of absent friends," said'he, and suddenly fixing his eyes upon her, "you have not spoken to me of Don Alvar de Solis. Are all hopes of hearing from him relinquished? He was a braggart and a libertine, and boasted that no.'flfoman ever resisted his scductions, that no husband ever suspected the injury he was preparing for him."

Then grasping his wife by the' hand, he led her up to the door at the further end of the room and, throwing it wide open, revealed to her view a skeleton, suspended within, holding in one of his bony hands one of her embroidered gloves. "Behold," he said, pointing to the ghastly spectacle, "the gallant and beautiful Don Alvar de Solis, the object of your guilty Jove—contemplate him well, if the sight can render your few moments any happier, for you are about to join him in another world—the wine I have given you was poisoned!"

When the last dreadful sentence, and its more dreadful illustration fell upon her affrighted senses, she became paralyzed with excess of emotion, the scream which had risen to her throat died there in strangling murmurs, and, sinking back, she fell as one dead upon the arm of Vesale.

She was not dead, however he had not poisoned her that crime he had hesitated to commit yet he was none the less her murderer. Convulsion followed convulsion, and at last she died and in that supreme moment, the hour that preceded death, her husband, who never quitted her, beheld one of those phenomena which sometimes attend the dying. Awakening from a torpid slumber, consciousness and a memory returned at once, and with them a calm and courage she had never possessed in the flush of life.

"Andre," said the dying woman, fixing her eyes on her hnsband, "I am dying by your hand, yet I am. innocent I never wronged you by thought or by deed Don Alvar pursued me with his love andrthreats, but I repulsed him. I never loved but you. I feared and honored you as much as I loved, but I dar(ed not tell you of his pursuit. Oh! Andre,tbelieve my words, the dying deal not in falsehoods. Should I be thus calm were I guilty?"

Versale, sinking gpon his knees, solemnly protested, his faith.,in the innocence of his wife, and, with choking sobs, abjured her to believe he only feigned to give her poison that he could not nerve his hand to .take her life but the terror of death, not death itself, was upon her. And while he yet spoke Isabella murmured:

"Thanks be to heaven for this," and, drawing his hand towar^ her, laid it upon her heartr~and a&fihe did it ceased to beat.

PRAIRIE LIFE—A TALEOF REVENGE. Although much has been written on prairie life, many a wild adventure, and many yet wilder scene, has been left undescrib ed. Poor Buxton, who died at St. Louis, and whose highly entertaining and valuable work, Scenes in the Far West, is en riched with many a story and scene which,, no doubt, to the people of the .East seem like tales from the Arabian Nights.— There is. so much originality about the manners and habits of the trapper and the frontiersman, that one is struck with their peculiar language or mode of expressing themselves/as well as their singular costume. They are, in fact, as distinct and marked a class as sailors, and have as many odd and quaint sayings

It is generally the commission of crime, some disappointment in life, or a native love of adventure and peril, that make these men desert, the comforts of civilized fociety for the wilds and haunts of the Bed Man. We can imagine the terrible reaction which takes place when the storm of passion or wreck of disappointed hope sweeps over the sensitive soul, and leaves a desolation—a ruin of .the former man.— It is misfortunes'like these which scorch and dry up the finest feeling—-some moral wrong or injustice committed by others toward them, in revenging which they have been compelled to leave their homes and become exiles in the Far West.

A story is told of an extraordinary meeting, and an act of revenge said to have taken place many long years ago, on the fork of the Pawnee. A party of four, who had been roving for many years in the West, all strangers to each other, were one day accidentally thrown together, when a strange and bloody scene ensued. These men presented a striking contrast in feature.— The youngest was delicately made, with long hair and light blue eyes. His exposure had given him a rich brown complex-

He was of medium statue, and made for strength and activity. There was dark void over his features, which told that with him the light of hope had gone out. He was traveling on a mule, with his rifle in his gun leather at the bow of his saddle, when he overtook a man on foot, with a gun on his shoulder and pistols in his belt, who was over six feet in bight, and had a deep, wide scar on his cheek. As day was drawing to a close, they proposed to camp, and brought up at the head fork of the Pawnee. Shortly after they had camped, a man was seen reconnoitering them with a rifle in his hand, and after having satisfied himself that the sign was friendly, he came moodily into the camp, and, after looking sternly at the two men, was asked by ScarCheek to "come to the ground." lie was a stout, muscular man, much older than the other two, with a deep habitual scowl: long, black, matted hair, and very unprepossessing features. Some common-place remarks were made, but no questions were asked by either party.

It was near twilight when the young man, who had gathered some buffalo chips to make a fire to cook with suddenly perceived a man approaching them on a mule. He came steadily and fearlessly on the camp, and, casting a look at the three, said:

Took ye for Indians then glancing at the deer-skin dress of the trio, he observed: Old leathers, some timeout, eh?" The man was about fifty years old, and his gray hairs contrasted strangely with his dark, bronzed features, upon which care and misfortune were strongly stamped. He was only lialf-clad in the miserable skins he wore, and as he dismounted Scar-Cheek asked: "Where from?" "From the Kaw," (Kansas,) he replied, throwing down a bundle 6f otter-skins. After unsaddling and staking out his mule, he brought himself to the ground, and, taking his rifle, he looked at the priming, and shaking the powder in the pan, he added a few more grains to it: then placing a piece of thin, dry skin over it to keep it from the damp, he shut the pan. The group watched the old trapper, who did not seem to notice them, while Scar-Cheek became interested, and showed a certain uneasiness. He looked toward his own rifle, and once or twice loosened the pistols in his belt, as if they -incommoded him. The young man and the stout man with the scowl exchanged glances, but no word passed. So far no

ed the sleeping men. and, kneeling down,' gazed intently upon the features of each,' and scanned them deeply. Wafting off. he muttered to himself again, saying: "It sliall be," and then judging by the stars that his watch was up, he '"approached the young man and woke liim, pressing his finger upon his lip- to command silence at. the time, and motioned him- to follow.— They walked ofr some distance,-when-the trapper' taking- tlie young'Tman by the shoulder turned his face to the moonlight, and after gazing at- it wistfully, whispered in his ear "Are you Perry Ward?" The young man started wildly, but the trapper prevented him:- by saying "Enough, enough!" He then told him that he was his uncle, and" that the man'with the scar was the murderer of his father, and that he with the scowl had convicted him (the trapper) of forgery by his false oath. Iv's

The blood deserted the lips of the young man, and his eyes glared and dilated almost from their sockets. He squeezed his uncle'shand, and then, with a meaning glancc, as he looked at his rifle,^hc moved toward the eamp.i .--,, *v.r

VjNo, no," said the older trapper "not in cold blood—give them a chance.'

and found both the men in a deep sleep.— The uncle arid nephew stood over them.— Scar-Cheek was breathing hard, when suddenly he cried-out: "I did not murder Terry Ward.", "Liar!" said the trapper, iu a voice of thunder, and the two men started and bounded.to their feet.

Red skins about?" asked they in a voice. "No, Arorse tnan red skins, said the trapper. "Harry Ward is about!" and seizing his knife, he plunged it into ScarCheek's heart.

Then take that," said he of the scowl, and raising his rifle the trapper fell a corp ith a bound and a wild cry, the young man jumped at%e murderer of nis unciu, and, with his knife, gave him several fatal wounds. The stle ruggwas a fearful one, however, and the young, man had also received several bad cuts, when his adversary fell from the loss of-blood, and soon expired. Thus ended this strange meeting, and thus were father and uncle revenged.

DR. LIVINGSTONE AND Tlli' rxri-QH-ATION OF AFRICA. Dr. LiVingstone is nearly forty years of age his face', is "furrowed", through .hardship's, and is almost black with exposures* to a burning sun. TTe hesitates in speaking, has a peculiar accent, is at a loss sometimes for a word, and the words of his sentences arc occasionally inverted. His language is however, good, and he lias an immense fund of most valuable and interesting information which lie communicates most freely. He is in good health and spirits. liis left arm which .was broken by a lion, is improperly set, a defect which he will endeavor to get corrected while lie is in England. He has an affection ol the uvula, which will prevent him from speaking much in public for the present. This affection has been brought on by preaching in the open air in Africa. If he now speaks much he loses his voice, notwithstanding that he submitted to an operation in Africa to enable him to speak in public.

He has scarcely spoken the English language for the last sixteen years. He
