THE PATRIOT'S ESCAPE.

BY STLTANUS COBB, JR. On the morning of June 26th, the inhabitants of Genea were startled by a very strange announcement. Upon the Piazza Nuova were collected men and women of all grades and ages, and many a dark and angry look was turned towards the ducal palace; and from thence the eager glances turned upon the dull, gloomy tour of the prison, which was not over a hundred paces distant. The conversation was carried on in low whispers, and the man or woman who dared to utter the word "liberta" was sure first to cast a furtive look around to see that no spy was peering about in the vicinity. What is it?' asked a new-comer upon the Piazza, speaking to a young man in a gaudy dress. Eh! What? Andrea, is this you?' Yes. I am just from Lyons. Ar rived last evening. But what happened, Medo?' 'Happened? Ah! you would hardly believe it. Our young Count, Michael Sofilli, is in prison. He was apprehended last night.' Andrea Arizzo turned pale. He grasp ed Medo Pazzoli by the hand, and having cast a quick glance around, said: 'The noble Count arrested! My soul, what news! Have they evidence against him?' Yes, most positive. One of hi9 own letters has fallen into the hands of these accursed spies! But we must not talk here. The very stones have loval ears. Come, let's seek a safer place. But drive that frown from your brow. For the love of mercy, don't let them see you frown or you may dwell in the tower before nirht! Put on a smile at we go. Come, follow rae, not by my side; behind; keep at a respect able distance.' Thus speaking, Pazzoli commenced to hum a love song, snd started off, his com panion following at a short distance. Medo Pazzoli was not yet thirty ; but he possessed a big heart, and a strong love of Liberty. His father had been dead a year and had left Lis only son a fortune of two hundred thousand crowns, with the title of gentleman. He was small in frame, but ac knowledged to be one of the bravest men in the country. Andrea Arizzo was ten or twelve years older than Medo, and some stouter in frame. He, too, wa3 wealthy, and might hnve been a count had he wished. He said lie would not incur the expenses of a title; but in reality he despised it. He was a iirm Liberal, and hated the very sound of Leal Li.' The Count Michael So fill i was five-and-ihirty. and beloved by all classes in Ge noa. Of an old family, and wealthy, he enjoyed ihe respect and confidence of the nobility; while his prodigal liberality and benevolence had secured to him the affec tions of people. The three men thus introduced had long been firm friends; and for some time they had been strong and active Liberals. They had supplied he Republican leaders with money, and had also conveyed to them much valuable information. Yet they had managed to work thus far, or until the pre vious night, unsuspected. The position they occupied, as well as the work they had to perform, required that they should keep their liberal proclivities profoundly secret. Not only their own lives depend ed upon it, but the safety of the cause de manded it. The noble band of Republic ans who assembled in the mountains knew that in these three men they possessed firm friends and ardent helpers. Many an Alpine leader had been able to escape the r.val troops by ii.formation secretly con VPV4.,J to them from our f hrr acnnaintan. ,-v - ces. But the Count Sofilli, the most influential of the trio, bad been apprehended; and one half the city stood fear stricken, while the other half gaped with wonder, for none, save the very few chosen ones had ever dreamed that the Count was A.Liboral. When Pazzoli stopped, it was at hfs own hotel. He passed in, and shortly afujr-1 wards Arizzo followed him, and the two were soon eloseled alone. What's to be done?' was Pazzoli'e first remark. First, we must know how much has beeu discovered,' answered the other. 0, I can tell you that, for I was present when ha wrote the letter which has been found. You needn't start in that way, for I had no part in it; my name was not mentioned. The Count wrote to Sforza, who is now in the mountains, promising to send him money as soon as a sate opportunity should present itself. He sent the letter by a messenger of Sforza'a own choice; but the fellow fell into the hands of the soHisrs at the outer pass of Sestri, and the letter was found in one ef his stockings

PLYMOUTH,

'Then there can be no hopes of his escape by trial?' Of course not. If he is left to the tender mercies of government he must die as sure as fate!' Then we must help him That's it. We must help him But how?' Ah! that happens to be the only question that I am not yet prepared to answer When will he be tried? This verv day So soon? Yes They seem to have a, little respect for his station, so do not jet put him in a dungeon. But he will be convicted, and then be immediately shut up as fast as may be.' 'Will he plead?' I think not We must see hi3 wife.' Aye-so I have thought. She must come hero. Her house will be watched. I will send word ' But we can go there more safely than she can come here. Whoever is seen coming from there before the trial may be followed 'You are right, Andrea. We will go there. Oh! the noble, generous Count must be saved he shall be if we can do it. We must be cautious not for our own safety, but for his I am with you to the death, Medo! From this time forth . until he is free, my life is his.' Of course,' suggested Andrea; 'there is no taint of suspicion against us No,' answered Medo. The elder of the two bowed his head a few moments, and finally moved close to his companion's side, and whispered something in his ear. Medo Pazzoli started back in terror under the first influence of the words he had heard. We can do it in no other way,' urged Arizzo. 'Thus we shall be free to act, and to see him. I have a plan in my mind, not perfect yet, but still of momentous weight. What say you? I know 'tis fearful, but the demands are pressing At length Pazzoli reached forth his hand and said: I will do it!' The spacious court room adjoining the ducal jalce was crowded to excess. People came to sorrow, and they came to wonder. They came prepared to believe, and to disbelieve; but by far the most of them came in hope that the beloved Count would be cleared. Michael Sofilli stepped forward facing his accusers. He was a noble looking man; and as lie stood now, with his arms folded, his dark eyes beaming with proud light, and his thin lips firmly set, a murmur of admiration rose upon every hand. The Count refused to plead at all. That was a confession at once; for those who uld not understand it, knew that he was too honorable even to descend to a legal quibble. The letter was produced, and he owned it was his! Then it was read; and from that moment none could hope for his es cape. As soon as the murmurs consequent on the reading of the letter had died away, Andrea Arizzo pressed his way forward. He did not look towards the prisoner, but kept his keen, dark eye upon the judge. Wh;n he had gained the proper place, he addressed the court, and then proceeded: It is hard for me, who have so on? beeu a bosom friend of the Count, thus to appear against him; but my duty bids me do it. My Lord, I have seen Michael So filli repeatedly in company with those who I feared were rebels; and once, while peo ple supposed him sick in his own palace, he was with the foul robber Sforza in the mountains. I think, too, that he has fur nished much money to the enemy. I know that his confidential servant has often left the city with a true passport for Vignario, and gone direct beyond the passes of Sestri. It is painful for me to say these things, but a noble duty compels me Arizzo was questioned by the judge; his answers were direct and frank. He was dismissed with the assurance that his noblö devotion to the cause of loyalty should not go unrewarded. I ask not for reward he replied, I have it already. But if you would have further proof, my friend Pazzoli can corroborate all that L haro aid When Arizzo had fin?t spoken, the prisoner uttered a deep groan, nd covered his face with his hands. His agoBV was intense beyond all power to hide or control it. That Andrea Arizzo, his bosom friend, should thus appear against him was worse than a thousand deathsl Of course he had done this to hide himself from suspicion. He had appeared against his friend to save himself ! Pazzoli was called for, and he came up. Michael Sofilli knew that he could not prove false, And yet Pazzoli informed against

him. Pazzoli swere that,all was true which Andrea had said! . The prisoner could not believe his own eyes or ears. It was some cruel phantasy that had come to torture him Pazzoli and Arizzo the two men of all others whom he had loved appear thus to condemn him to death! No, no 'twas impossible. The father of infernal imps had assumed their forms and done this thing! But Michael Sofilli vas pronounced guilty, and condemned to die. Word waa tent to the jailer to place him in the dungeon ef the death-warrant! When he asked how long he would live, he was told six days! It was midnight, and Minna Sofilli wa? alone in her chamber. She was a noble woman, in form, in feature, and in soul. She was just the woman for the Count to love, and surely no true man could help loving her who knew her. She had done weeping, for the fount of her tears was dry. She sat now with her hands clasped upon her heart, and herswollen eyes turned towards heaven. There came a rap upon the door, and when she spoke a young girl entered, aud informed her that two men wished to see her below. Who are they?' she asked in a low whisper. They would not give me their names. But they came to offer help replied the girlMinna Sofilli went down, and when she entered her husband's library she met Pazzoli and Arizzo. Oh! In the name of heaven, sirs, leave this dwelling!' the woman gasped, as she saw th men who had appeared against her beloved. 'Must you add to your infamy by this mookery?' Minns Sofilli, spoke Pazzoli, sternly, 'are you, too, so simple that you cannot see beneath a veil that was only meant to blind the ey3 of loyal officers? Did we not know that your husband was sure of being convicted ere we spoke?' Oh! And ye could tear away the last pride of a dying man for your own safe ty! Ye could show him that he had no friends!' Listen, Minna She did listen; and ere long her bosom swelled, and her eye grew bright. The trio conversed a long while, and when they had dono, Minna Sofilli stood erect with hope beaming in her lustrous eyes. I will do my part she said, 'though I close not my eyes till it be done!' And we will do ours, even though death looked us direct in the face! was Pazzoli's response. Within half an hour from that time Minna was at work. Her faithful maid helped her, and together they labored on. The task required patience, but they were equal o it. Hour by hour the work progressed, and the eager, anxious wife had the satis faction ot seeing her efforts gradually producing the very thing that was required Ingenuity such a she never dreamed of before sprang to life in her brain at the need, and an answering skill applied it to the purpose in hand, Iler work was done on the third day, and then she slept! Medo Pazzoli and Andrea Arizzo appeared at the ducal palace to intercede for Minna Sofilli. She prayed that she might see her husband once more before he died. We will be present at the interview said Pazzoli, 'and thus we may be assured no treason can transpire The duke pondered a few moments, but it was more from habit than from any thought of refusing the request. We were somewhat surprised explained Arizzo, 'that she should send for us; but she feared that her husband's friends would refuse lest they should be suspected of sympathy with him. Of course she had no such fear on our account. Ah. this rebellion is a sad thmcr! The Count might have been a noble champion of Loy alty but for that True, true, Arizzo. He was a fine young man, but foolish withal. However, you may go to the woman, and give he hope and comfort of seeing her husband. But mind you must be present at the in terview Aye, my Lord. That was the only condition upon which we would consent to come The Duke wrote an order for Andrea Arizzo and Medo Pazzoli to conduct Minna Sofilli to the dungeon where her husband was confined; and having received this the two men left. Late in the afternoon a close carriage stopped before the prison. Pazzoli and Arizzo alighted, and then handed out a female who was closely veiled. She walked between the two men. holding each by the arm. The ducal order was presented, and the party were conducted to the coll of the condemned. It was a low, damp dungeon j

the very sight cf which wag terrible. Fear not, lady,' said Pazzoli, tenderly. Be of good cheer. Strive to give your husband courage to meet his fate The female made no reply, but still clung to tho arms of her friends. The door of the dungeon was thrown open, and the two passed in, the lady becoming so weak that she had fairly to be assisted over the threshold. The jailer looked in and saw the prisoner sitting by his table, and without remark he closed the door and departed. He heard

the quick cry ol joy.Jand the deep sob of emotion, and then walked away in a sort of philosophical mood. Halfan hour was the time allotted. It passed quickly away, and at the proper moment the jailor was at the door. He looked in and saw Sollfii sitting at his table his head bowed upon his hands in deep grief while his wife stood over him with her arms about his neck. 'Time's up!' Farewell, my angel!' pronounced the voice of Sofilli. 'I cannot see your face again I cannot! God bless you! There!' Tho female dropped her veil and turned, and having taken her place between her two friends as before, the party left the cell. The prisoner seemed so bowed with anguish that the keeper would not disturb him. so he closed tho door an I followed the visitors. In a few moments the carriage rolled away, and the jailer sang a simple ditty to himself. Two hours afterwards he went and opened Sofilli's door and put his supper in, but he stopped to make no remarks. At midnight the keeper went his rounds, and when he entered Sofilli's dungeon he was surprised to find the prisoner still sitting in his chair, with his back towards the door, and his head bowed upon his hands, just as he was left when his visitors departed Hallo! Are you going to bed to-night, Senor Count?' The iailer put his hand upon the orisoner's shoulder as he spoke, but the latter neither moved nor made reply. 'Come, come wake up' The jailer gave a smart jerk as ho uttered thi9, and the man before him tumbled over upon the floor ! With a quick cry of alarm the keeper set down his lantern and stooped over the prostrate form. He lilted it up, and it was light like a bag of rags ! He pullea away his hands from the face, and found that he had nothing but a veritable 'man of rags' for a prisoner! For a few moments the astounded man was unable even to think; but quickly he raised his lantern to examine his prize closely. It was a perfectly formed image, consisting of an outer case of slout linen, neatly stuffed with rajrs and cotton. There were strings leading from the feet and head to the wrists, and so nicely arranged, i hat in walking all the natural movements could bo imitated. Ihe face was of wax. "

A ' " I small felucca lay at single anchor between Genoa and Nervi: and whn th ranU left the prison it Was driven around to the I Count's palace, where Minna and her maid entarad. and than awav out f th. Pazzoli having a pass for so doing. In half an hour they reached the felucca; and in another half hour the firm friends were upon the dark waters of the Gulf, where the wife rested on her husband's bosom without fear; and where he could embrace his two noble friends, and ask them to forgive him for having, under a startling provoca t ion, once suspected them. I friendship which had proved itself thus; and if there was a pang at the thought of waving their native land, perhaps forever, it was alleviated by the memory that, while they left an old home, they went forth to v ii. lit. wiiiMi ii i..i t auvn man iiuvi nrfii tu jauu VI kUCIl I hfrth rnnld not nflTnrd. birth could not afford. rpi e 1 i e . m i where our fugitives found passage to Gibfalter; and thence for the United States, where they now enjoy, beneath the banner

American Coinage. METHOD OF COINING, AND STANDARD WriClir AND FINENESS. The fine gold bars are re-aaayed and j v liveredto the melter, and refined to be alloyed and cast into standard ingots TI.u alloy consists of silrer and copper, r.s i: the proportion of nine-tenths of the entire mass, namoly: In a given weight of l,0O. ounce3 of gold and alloy, 000 nre pur. gold and 100 a!ly; of which only c:.?tenth part is silver and nine-tenths copper. These standard ingots are then sashed t determine their correctness, and are r.ext subjected to the annealing process, that is, tempering them by heat so as to harden them. Tho ingots thus annealed aro nlk 1 out into different s;zes, according to the denomination of coin wanted. The3$ pieces, called planchets, are first cleaned and then put into the hands of the adjusters, !.o weigh each piece separately. Those whi- h are too heavy are filed down to tho jropc-r weight; and such as are too light, beiri rejected, have to be re-melted. Tho pi-iccs thus adjusted are passed to the cuitiin;; room to bo 'milled which consists in Enning the rims. The pieces having been milled cm jut into a tubo connected with the press, ll.o movements of which, regulated by stea:;i power, force the pieces into tho proper position for receiving the impression 3 on both the upper and lower sides, as well ;t the indentations on tho rims; all of which is done by one blow of the press. The gold coins thus produced, are then counted and weighed, and put up into parcels of various values, when they are delivered to tho treasurer to bo paid on a warrant of tho director. In the preparation of silver coins, the pieces are not adjusted separately, but in masses. The adjustment is, therefore, not so correct in each coin, though perfectly so in masses. The subsequent milling and etarnping is the same as gold. Tho charge to the depositor of gold (or coinage is one-half of one percent., in addition to the actual expense for refining or parting the metals, which is five per con!. per ounce, gioss. The coins authorized tobe made by Ur are of gold: The cade of tho value of 810 or uniu, to weigh 58 grains. The act of Congress, January, 1C37, establishes the standard of go!d at GOD thousands fine.
