THE FLOATING BEACON.
Ohr daric and stormy night, we wero on a voyage from Bergen to Christiansand in a small sloop. Our capiain suspected that he had ap¬ proached too r.ear the Norwegian coaat, though he could not discern any land, and the wind hl«:w with such violence, that we were tn mo¬ mentary dread of being driven upon a lee- shore. We had endeavored, for mors than an hour, to keep our vessel away; but our efforts proved unavailing» and we soon found thot we could scarcely hold our own." A cluuded sky, a hazy atmosphere, and irregular obscurity of night, and nothing whatever was visible, ex¬ cept the sparkling of the distant waves, when their tops happened to break into a wreath of fi«m. The sea ran very high, and sometimes broke over ilm deck so furiously that the tnen were obliged ro hold by the rigging, lest they should be rarried away. Onr captain was a percon of tiinid and irresolute clmracter, and the dangers thn*. environed us made him gradu¬ ally loose confidence in himself. He often gave ordeis, and countermanded them in thesame moment, all the while taking small quantities of ardent spirits at intervals. Fear and intoxi- raiion soon stupified him completely, and the crew ceased to consult him, or to pay any re¬ spect to his aulhority, in so far as regarded the management of the vessel.
About midnight our main-sail was splitj and shortly afterwe found that the sloop had sprung a leak. We had before shipped a good deal of water through the hatches, and the quantity that now entered from below was so great, that we thought slie would go down every moment. Our only chance of escape lay in our boat^ which was immedialely lowered. After we had all got on board of her, except the captain, who stooti leaning against the mast, we called to him, requesting that he wouUl follow us without delay. '- How dare yon quit the sloop witliout my permission 7'' cried he, staggering forwards. " This ia not fit weadier to go a" fishing. Come back—back with you all !"— " No, no," returned one of the crew, "we don*i want to be sent to the bollom for vour obstinacy. IBear a hand there, or we'll leavo you behind." " Captain, you are drunk," said another; *' you cannot take care of yourself. You must obey Its now." *'Silence, mutinous villain,*' answered the captain. " What are you al! afraid of / This is a fine breeze—Up mainsail, and steer her right in the wind's eye."
Thc sea knocked the boat so violently and conatantly agamsi the side of the sloop, that we feared the former would be injured or upset, il WQ did not immediately row away; but, anx¬ ious as wc were to preserve our lives, we could not reconcile ourselves to the idea of abandon¬ ing the captain, who grew more obstinate the more we attempted to persuade him to ac¬ company us. At length, one of the crew leapt on board the sloop, and having seized hold of him, tried to drag him along by force; but lie struggled resolutely, and soon freed himself from the grasp of the seaman, who immediate¬ ly resumed his place among us, and urged that we should «ot any longer risk our lives for the sake of a drunkard and a madman. Most of the party declared thcy wcro of the same opinion, and began to push off thc boat; but I entreated them to make one effort more to in¬ duce their iiifatuated commander to accompany us. At that moment he came up from the cabm, to which he had descended a little time before, anri we immediately perceived that he was more under the influence of ardent spirits tlian ever. Hc abused us all in thc grossest terms, and threatened his crew with severe punishment if they did not como on board, and return to ilioir duty. His mannpr was so vio lent, that no one seemed willing lo attempt to constrain him to como on board the boat; and after vainly representing the absurdity of his conduct, and the danger of his sitnation, wc bid him farewell, and rowed away.
The sea ran so high, and had such a terrific appearance, that I almost wished myself in the sloop again. The crow plied the oars in silence* and we heard nothing but the hissing r.f the enormous billows as they gently rose up, and alowly subsided again, without breaking. At in¬ tervals, our boat was elevated far above the flurface of the ocean, and remained for a few moments, trembling upon the pinnacle of a ¦urge, from which it would quietly descend into a gulph, so deep and awful, that we ofien thought the dense black mass of waters wliich formed its sides, were on the point of over-arch¬ ing us, and bursting upon our heads. Weglided with regular undulations from one billow to an¬ other; but every time we sunk into the trough of the sea, my heart died within me, for I fell a« if we were going lower down than wo liad ever done before, and clung instinctively to the board on which I sat.
Notwithstanding my terrors, 1 frequently looked towards the sloop. The fragments of her mainsail, which remained atiached to the yard, and fluttered in tlie wind, enabled us discern exactly where she lay, and showed, by their motion, that ahe pitched about in a terrible manner. We occasionally heard the voice of her unfortunate commander, calling to us in tones of frantic deriiion, and by turns vocifera¬ ting curses and blaspliemous oaths, and singing sea songs with,a wild and frighful energy. 1 aometimes almoat wished that tho crew would make another effort lo savo him, but next mo¬ ment, the principle of self-preservation re- pressed ali feelings of humanity, and I endeav¬ ored, by closing my ears, to banish the idea of his sufferings from my mind.
After a littlo time the shivering canvass dis¬ appeared, and wo heard a tumultuous roaring and bursting of billows, and saw an unusual sparkling of the sea about a quarter of a mite from us. One of the sailors cried out that the sloop was now on her beam ends, and that the noise, to which we listened, was that of tlie waves breaking over her. We could sometimes perceive a large black mass heaving itself up ¦ irregularly among the flashing surges, and then disappearing for a few inoments, and knew but too well that it was thc vessel. At intervals, a suriil and ngonjzed voice uttered some excia- mations, bm we could not distinguish what they were, and then a long-drawn shriek came across the ocean, which suddenly grew more furiously agitated near the spot where the sloop lay, and, in a few moments, she sunk down, and a black wave formed itself out of the waters that had engulfed her, and swelled gloom.ly into a mag. nitudo greator than that of the surrounding bil¬ lows.
The seamen dropped their oars, as if by one impulse, and looked expressively at each other withoul speaking a word. Awful forcbodincs or a fate similar to that of the captain, appeal¬ ed to chill every heart, and to repress thc ener¬ gy that had hitherto excited us to make unre¬ mitting   exertions  for our common safety	
^Vhile we wero in this state of hopeless inac¬ tion, the man at the hchn called oul that he saw a light a-head. We all strained our eyes to discern it, but, at thc moment, the boat was sinking down between two immfensc waves, ono of which closed the prospect, and we re¬ mained in breathless anxiety till a rising surge elevated us above the level of the surronnding ocean. A light like a dazzling star then sud¬ denly flashed upon our view, and joyful excla- nuuiona burst from every mouth. ' That,' cried on« of the cr<rw,' must be the floating beacon
which our captain was looking out for this af¬ ternoon. If wa can bat gain it, we'll be safe enough yet.'   This intelligence cheered us all,
and the men begain to ply the oars with redou¬ bled vigor, while'I employed myself in bailing out the water that sometimes rushed over the gunnel of the boat when a oea happened to strike her.
An hour's hard rowing brought ua so near the light-house thai we almost ceased to appre¬ hend any furiher danger; butit was suddenly obscured from our view, and, at the same time> a confused roaring and dashing commenced at a Utile distance, and rapidly increased in loud¬ ness. We soon perceived a tremendous billow rolling towards us. Its top, part of which had already broke, overhung the base, as if unwil¬ ling to burat until we were within the reach of its violence. The man who steered the boat, brought her head to the sea, but all to no pur- l>ose, for the water rushed furiously over us, and we were completely immersed. I felt the boat swept from under tne, and was lefc strug- {;ling and groping about in hopeless despera¬ tion, for something to calch hold of. When nearly exhausted, I received a severe blow on the side from a small cask of water which tho sea had forced against me. I immediately twined my arms arouud it, and, after recover, ing myself a little, began lo (ook for the boat- and to call to iny companions ; but I could not discover any vestige of them, or of their vessel, However, I still had a faint hope that they were in exisience, and that the intervention of the billows concealed them from my view. I con¬ tinued to shout as loud as possible, foe the sound of my own voice in some measure relieved me from tho feeling of awful and heart-chilling loneliness which my situation inspired ; but not even an echo responded to ray cries, and, con vinced that my comrades had all perished, I ceased looking for them, and pushed towards ! tbe beacon in the beat way I could. A long series of fatiguing exertions broughi me close to | the side of the veaael which contained it, and I called out loudly, in hopes that those on board might hear me and come to ray asaistance, but no one appearing, I waited patiently till a wave raised me on a level with the chains, and then caught hold of them, and succeeded in getting on board.
As I did not see any person on deck, I went forwards to the sky-light, and looked down.— Two men were sealed below at a table, and a lamp, which was suspended above them, being swung backwards and forwards by the rolling of the vessel threw its light upon their faces alternately. One seemed agitated with passion, and the other surveyed hira with a scornful look. They both talked very loudly, and used tlireatening gestures, but the sea made so much noise tliat I could not distinguish what was said. After a little time, they staried up, and seemed to be on the point of closing and wrest¬ ling together, when a woman rushed through a small door and prevented them. I beat upon deck with my feet at the same lime, and the aitention of the whole party w-as soon trans¬ ferred to the noise. One of the men iramedi¬ ately came up tbe cabin stairs, but stopped short on seeing me, as if irresolute v/hether to advance or hasten below again. I approached him, and told ray story in a few words, but in¬ stead of making any reply, he went down to the cabin, and began to relate to the others what he had seen. I soon followed him, and easily found my way into the aparlmeni where they all were. They appeared to feel mingled sensation of fear aod astonishment al my pres¬ ence, and it was some time before any of them entered into conversation wilh me, or afford¬ ed those comforts which I stood so much in need of.
After r had refreshed myself with food, and been provided wiih change of clothing, I wenl upon deck, and surveyed the singular asylum in which Providence had enabled mc to lake refuge from the fury of tlie storm. It did not exceed thirty feet long,'and was very strongly built, and completely decked over, except at the entrance to the caUn. It had a thick mast at midships, with a h rge lantern, containing several burners aud raflectors, on the lop of it; and ihis could be lowered and hoisted up again as often as required, by means of ropes and pullies. The vessel was firmly moored upon au extensive sand-bank, the beacon being in¬ tended to warn seamen to avoid a part of the ocean where many lives and vessels had been lost in consequence of the latter running aground. The accommodetions below decks were narrow, and of an inferior description; however, I gladly retired to the birth that was allotted to me by my entertainers, and fatigue and the rocking of billows combined to lull me into a quiet and dreamless sleep.
Nexl raorning, one of the men, whose name was Angersioff, came to my bedside, and call¬ ed me to breakfast in a surly and imperious manner. The otheri looked coldly and dis- Irnstfully when I joined them, and I saw that they regarded me as an intruder and au unwel¬ come guest. The meal passed without almost any conversation, and 1 went upon deck when¬ ever it was over. The tempest of the pre¬ ceding night had in a great measure abated, but the sea still ran very high, and a black mist hovered over it, through which the Norwegian coast, lying at eleven miles diatance, could Ivj dimly seen. I looked in vain for some remains of .the sloop or boat. Not a bird enlivened the lieaving expanse of waters, and I lurned shud¬ dering from the dreary scene, and asked Mor- valden, the youngest of the, men, when he tliought I had any chance of getting ashore.— •Not very soon, I'm afraid,' returned he.— * We are visited once a-monih by people from yonder land, who are appointed to bring us a supply of provisions and other necessaries.— They were here only six days ago, so you may count how long it will be before they return.— Fishing boats sometimes pass us during fine weather, but we don't have much of that thia I moon at least.'
No inteUigence could have been more depres¬ sing to me than this. The idea of spending perhaps three weeka in such a place was almost insupportable, and the more so, as I could not hasten my deliverance by any exertions of my own, but would be obliged to remain, in a state of inactive suspense, till good fortune, or the regular course of events, afibrded me the means of getting ashore. Neither Angerstoff nor Mor- valden seemed to sympathize with my distress, or even to care that I should have it in my power to leave the vessel, except in lo far as my departure would free them from the ex¬ pense of supporting me. They returned indis. tinct and repulsive answers to all the questions I asked, and appeared anxious to avoid hav, ing tho least communication with me. During lho greater part of the forenoon they employed ihemselves in trimming the lamps, and clean¬ ing the reflectors, but never conversed any. I easily perceived that a mutual animosity exist¬ ed between them, but was unable to discover the cause of it. Morvalden seemed to fear Angerstoff, and, at the sarae time, to feel a deep resentment towards him, which he did not dare 10 express. Angerstoff apparently was aware of this, for he behaved to his companion with the undisguised fierceness of determined hate, aud openly thwarted him in every thing.
Marietta, the female on board, was the wifo of Morvalden. She remained chiefly below decks, and attended to the domestic concerns of the vessel. She wns rather good-looking, but so reserved and forbidding in her manners that she formed no desirable acquisition to our party, already so heartless and unaociable in its character.
When night approached, after the lapse of a wearisome and monotonous day, I went on deck to see the btacon lightsd, and continued walk¬
ing backwards and forwards tiJl a late hour.   I  anino trifler; and I advise'you to walk up watched the lantern, as it swung from side to  stairs again, le&t I prove this to, your cost.
side, and flashed upon different portions of the aea alternately, and someiimes fancied I saw men struggling among the billows that tumbled around, and at other times imagined I could discern the white sail of an approaching vessel. Human voices seemed to mingle with the noise of the bursting waves, and I often listened in¬ tently, almost in tbe expectation of hearing articulate sounds. My mind grew sombre as tho scene itself, and strange and fearful ideas obuuded thetnielves in rapid succession. It was dreadful to be chained in the middle of tho deep—to be the continual sport of the quietleis billows—to be shunned as a fatal thing by those who traversed the solitary ocean. Though wiihtn sight of the shore, our situation was mor_f dreary than if we had been sailing a thou¬ sand miles from it. We felt not the pleasure of moving forwards, nor the hope of reaching port, nor the delights arising from favorable breezes and genial weather. When a billow drove us to ono side, we were tossed baek again by anoiher; our imprisonment had no variety or definite termination; aud the calm and the tempest were alike uninteresting to us. I felt as if my fate had already become linked with that of those who were on board the vessel.— My iiopea of being again pertuitted to mingle with mankind died away, and I anticipated long years of gloom and despair, in the compa¬ ny of these repulsive persons into whose hands fate had unexpectedly consigned me.
Angerstoff and Morvalden tended the beacon alternately during the night. The latter had the watch while I remained upon deck. Hia appearance and manner indicated much pertur¬ bation of mind, and ha paced hurriedly from side to side, sometimes muiiering to himself, and sometimes stopping suddenly to look through the sky-lighi, aa if anxious to discover what was going on below. He would then gaze in¬ tently upon the heavens, and next moment take out his watch, and contemplate the motions of its hands. I did not offer to disturb these reveries, and thonght myself altogether unob¬ served by him, till he suddenly advanced to the | apot where I atood, and said, in a loud whisper,' ' There's a villain below—a desperate villian— this is true—he is capable of anything—and the woman is as bad as him.* I asked whai proof he had of all this. * Oh, I know it,' reiurned he; that wretch Angerstofl", whom I once thought my friend, has gained my wife's affec¬ tions. She has been faithless to me—yes, she bas. They both wish 1 were oul of the way— Perhaps they are now planning my destruction. What can I do ? It is very terrible to be shut up in such narrow limits with those who hate me and to have no means of escaping, or defend¬ ing myself from their infernal machinations.'—
* Why do you not leave the beacon,' inquired I, ' and abandon your companion and guilty wife?' 'Ah, that is imi^ssible,' answered Morvalden ; * if I went on shore I would forfei' my liberty. I live here that I may escape the vengeance of the law which I once outraged for the sake of her who has now withdrawn her love from me. What ingratitude ! Mine is in¬ deed a terrible fale, but I must bear it. And shall I never again wander through the green fields, and climb the rocks that encircle my native place ? Are the weary dashings of tho sea, and tlie moanings of the wind, to fill my ears continually^ all the while telling mc that I aman exile ?-^ hopeless, despairing exile.— But it won't last long,'cried he, catching hold of my arm ; ' thcy will murder rae !—I ara sure j of it—I never go to aleep without dreaming that Angerstoff has pushed mc overboard.'
' Your lonely situation and inactive  life dia- jjose you to give way to tbese chimeraa,' said I;
* you must endeavor to resist them. Perhaps' thinga aren't so bad as you suppose.' ^ This is not a lonely situation,' said Morvalden, in a solemn tone. * Perhaps you will have i)roof of what I say before you leave us. Many vessels used to be lost here, and a few are wrecked atill; and the skeletons and corpses of those whohave perished lie all over the sand bank.— Sometimes, at midnight, I have seen crowds of human figures moving backwards and for¬ wards upon the surface of thc ocean, almost as far as the eye could reach. J neither knew who they wtre, nor what they did there.— When watching the lantern alone, I often heard a number of voices talking together, as it were under the waves ; and I twice caught the very words that they uitered, but I cannot repeat lhem—the dwell incessantly on my memory, but my tongue refuses to pronounce them, or to explain to others what they meant.
Do not let your senses be impoaed upon by a distempered  imagination,' said I ; ' there is no reality in the things you have (old mc.'    ' Per¬ haps my mind occasionally wanders a little, for it has a heavy burden upon it,'   returned Mor¬ valden.    *I have  been  guilty  of   a  dreadful crime.    Many that now He in the deep below us, mighl start up, and accuse me  of what I  am just going to reveal to you.    One stormy night, shortly after I began to take charge of this bea¬ con, while watching upon  deck, I  fell  into  a profound sleep : I know not how long  it   con¬ tinued, but 1 was awakened by horrible shouts and cries—I started up, and instantly perceived that all tho lamps in  the   lantern  were  extin¬ guished.    It was very dark, and the aea raged furiously; but notwithstanding  all   this, I  ob¬ served a ship  a-grouud  on   the   bank, a   little way from me, her sails fluttering in   the wind, and the waves breaking over her wilh violence. Half frantic wilh horror, I ran down to the cab¬ in for a taper, and lighted the lamps as fast as possible.    The lantern, when hoisted to the top of the mast, threw a vivid  glare  on   the sur¬ rounding ocean, nnd shewed me the vessel dis¬ appearing _among  the  billows.    Hundreds  of j people lay gasping   in   the  water near  her.— : Men, women, and children writhed togeiher in agonising struggles, and uttered soul-harrowing cries ; and their countenances, as   they gradu¬ ally stiffened under the hand of death, were all turned towards me with glassy stare, while the lurid  expression  of their  glistening eyes   up¬ braided me with having been the cause of their untimely   end.     Never shall   I   forget   these looks.    They haunt me wherever I am—asleep and awake—night and day.    I have   kept  this tale of horror aecret lill now, and do not know if I shall ever have cqurage to relate it  again. The masts of the  vessels  projected above the surface of the sea for several months after  she was lost, as if to keep me in recollection of the night on vvhich so many huraan creatures  per¬ ished, inconsequence of my neglect and care¬ lessness.   Would lo God I had no memory !    I sometimes think I am getting mad.    The  past and present aro equally dreadful to me ; and I dare not anticipate the future.'
I felt a aort of superstitious dread steal over me, while Morvalden related his story, and we continued walking lho deck in silence, till the period of his watch expired. I then went be¬ low, and took refuge in iny berth, though I was but little inclined for sleep. The gloomy ideas, and dark forebodings, expressed by Morvalden, weighed heavily upon my mind, without my knowing why; and my situalion, which had at first seemed only dreary and depressing, be¬ gan to have something indftniiely terrible in its aspect.
Next day, when Morvalden proceeded as usual to put the beacon in order, he called upon Angerstoff to come and assist him, which the latter peremptorily refused. Morvalden then went down to the cabin, where his companion was, and requested to know why bis orders were not obeyed. 'Because I hate trouble,* re¬ plied Angerstoff. *I am master.here,' said Mor¬ valden, * and have been entrusted with the di¬ rection of everything. Do not attempt to trifle with me'.—* Trifle with you !* exclaimed An¬ gerstoff looking contamptuouily.   'No, no; 1
Wby, husband,' cried Marietta, *I believo there are no bounds to your laziness. You make this young man toil from niorjiing to night, and take advantage of his good-nature in the most shameful manner.'—* Peace, infamous woman !* said Morvalden; ' I know very well i why you stand up in his defence ; but I'll put, a stop to the intimacy that exists between you. Go lo your room instantly ! You are my wife, and shall obey me.'—' Is this usage lo be bomo?' exclaimed Marietta. 'Will no one step for¬ ward to protect me from his violence ?'—* In¬ solent fellow!' cried Angerstoff, * don't pre¬ sume to insult my mistress.'—* Mistress!' re¬ peated Morvalden. *Thi3 to my face?' and struck him a severe blow. Angerstoff sprung forward, with the intention of returning it, but I got between ihem, and prevented him. Ma¬ rietta then began to shed tears, and applaud the generosity her paramour had evinced in sparing her husband, who immediately went upon deck, without speaking a word, and hur¬ riedly resumed the work that had engaged Ids atteniion previous to the quarrel.
Naiiher of the two men seemed at all diapos¬ ed for a reconciliation, and they had no inter¬ course during the whole day, except angry and revengeful looks. I frequently observed Ma¬ rietta in deep consultation wiih Angerstoff, and easily perceived that the subject of debate had some relation to her injured husband, whose manner evinced much alarm and anxiety, al¬ though he endeavored to look calm and cheer¬ ful. He did not make his appearance al inealfl, but spent all his time upon deck. Whenever Angerstoff accidently passed him, he shrunk back with an expression of dread, and intui¬ tively, as it were, caught hold of a rope, or any other object to which he could cling. The day proved a wretched and fearful one to me, for I momentarily expected that some terrible affray would occur on board, and that I would be im¬ plicated in it. I gazed upon the surrounding sea almost without intermission, ardently hoping tbat some boat might approach near enough to afford me an opportunity of quitting the horrid and dangerous abode to which 1 was imprison-
' Though the a'oenes of life often uhaage,

And why, then, when she thus allayed his passions, soothed his dreary hours, could he not read her soul.

It was Angerstoff's watch on deck till mid¬ night ; and as I did not wish to have any com¬ munication with him, I remained below. At twelve o'clock, Morvalden got up and relieved him, and he came down lo the cabin, and soon after retired to his berth. Believing from this arrangement, that they had no hostile inten¬ tions, I lay down in bed wilh composure, and foll asleep. It was nol long before a noise over¬ head awakened me. I started up and listened intently. Tho sound appeared to be that of two persons scutfling together, for a succession of irregular footsteps beat the deck, and I could hear violent blows given at intervals. I got out of my berth, nnd entered the cabin, where I found Marietta standing alone, with a lamp in her hand. * Do you hear that?' cried I.— 'Hear what?' returned she; *I have had a dreadful dream—I am all trembling.'—' Is An¬ gerstoff below 7' demanded I.—' No—Yes, I mean,' said Marietta. ' Why do you ask that? He went up-stairs,'—* Your husband and he are fighting. We must part them instanly.'— ' How can that be ?' answered Marietta; ' An¬ gerstoff is asleep.'—* Asleep ! Didn't you say he went up-stairs ?'—' I don't know,' relurned she ; *I am hardly awake—Let ua listen a mo¬ ment.'
Everything was still for a few seconds; then a voice shrieked out, * Ah ! that'knife 1 You are murdering me ! Draw itoui! No help!— Are you done ? Now—now—now !'—A heavy body fell suddenly along the deck, and some words were spoken in a faint tono,but theioar- ing of the sea prevented rae from hearing what they were.
I rushed up the cabin stairs, and tried to push open the folding doors at the head of them, but they resisted my utmost efforts. I knocked violently and repeatedly, to no purpose. 'Some one is killed,'cried I. * The person who bar¬ red these doors on the outside is guilty.'—' I know nothing of that,' returned Marietta.— 'We can't be ofany use now. Come here again —How dreadfully quiet it is.—My God !—A drop of blood has fallen through tho sky-light. What faces are yon looking down npou us?—But this lamp is going out.—We must be going through the waier at a terrible rate.—How it rushes past us !—I am getting dizzy.—Do you

CHAPTER   I,
As the moon came peeping through a cloud, which was fast flying before the cold blast of a February night, there could bave heen aeen in the homes of one of our western counties, a mother sitting by the blazing fire of a parlor's hearth, whilst by her side an only daughter and child was leisurely reclining on a sofa. All around them bespoke comfort. The silent gaze of the mother, whilst her hand was, as though unconscious of action, smoothing 4he fair brow of the child, told too well her ihoughta had wan¬ dered far from the present. But at oncc the countenance of the fair daughter became radi¬ ant with a smile, as with upraised eyes she said, ' Mother ! has nol the time passed slowly since Charles hns lefi us ; but soon-again he is to be among us—nay, even nnw, I l»elieve I hear the jingling of bells.'
' Yes, child, I do alao hear some one coming, and Charles no doubt it must be.'
Thus was resumed a conversation betweeii mother and child. The mother had already numbered many years ; but as you gaze on tho daughter, thus rechning, her pure hand, white as snow, propped her head, jet black ringlets hung profusely over her shoulders; her fair hroM' ond features moulded as though chiseled by some Grecian sculptor. Her dark eyes giized languidly on the starry height, as though she were contemplating her future destiny ; for wi:ll did she know that Charles Dunn was her devoted and true lovor. Nor did imagination load her to suppose that him it might be, for soon was the door opened and Charles entered. Warm was his welcome. He had becn absent from friends six years, and now returned a graduate of College. Pressing were the en¬ quiries concerning his health, and soon they were found busily occupied, he in relating part of his College life, whilo the mother and daugh¬ ter bolh were lisiening with interest to his ad¬ ventures. The reader may pause—perhaps he too knows College life and its pleasures,
Charles Dunn had been reared by a kind father, who, early in life, experienced the re¬ verses of fortune. But by care and industry he managed to give his son an advantage which many scorn and few adore—a tharough educa¬ tion. And well did Charles merit his father's toils. His manly appearance gained him many frionds. His kindness to all, bound him more closely to those who knew him; for all that can be called noble, clung around him. He now had to depend on his own exertions. His father re¬ sided not far distant from widow E 'a, and
often did Charles spend the evening with the widow's fair daughter, who was now number¬ ing her eighteenth snmmer. Often did Charles and Carrie roam over the fields and dells. They then were young; but still, as he sat reconnoi¬ tring his life's history, he could trace some re¬ semblance to the Carrie of former days* Often did he wish for one moment to read the secrets of her inmost heart as he gazed upon her.. The question flashed to his mind as he said sho wel- comedme to her home, but it was the welcomed frisnd of former days.
nocent as the child just clinging to the mother's breast; in her was centered all that could be called   virtuous.
Charles knew all thia, and often would he say to himself—' Fool as I am, to strive for so pure a being to partake of my sorrows, toilsaiid woes; no, never; rather would I sink my fame to perdition, than sully her fair name with mine.' But stiil he loved—loved with all the fire of youth—loved wilh all his soul—loved like the dove, a pure and holy affection.
Few can read tho destiny which awaits lhem; even in the hour of prosperity, misfortune aeems to hover in your path as a cloud, and like the distant thunder, rolls until it falls at your feet.
But again tbe parting day was fast approach¬ ing. Soon was he to bid adieu to the scenes of his childhood, to the happy hours of manhood. Few can judge his feelings as eve by eve the faat approaching monster time wrote one day less. And often did he sigh wben he though' of the time when he coutd aee that face no more; no more could speak of by-gone days to her, who, to him, was dearer than all. 'Twas thus when speaking of their former rambles, that Charles waa seated on tbe sofa, and by his side his fair Carrie.-Gaze dpon that fair face, her fair head reclining on him. It was there only, she would wish to say,
* I am safe ; I care not for the wintery biasi; I care for no other,~if ihy .sorrows I may sooth ; in thy hand would 1 place my own saying ; " in thee I trust."'
'Twas true she loved no other; her kindred heart fostered no oiher friend, though many crowded round her; for no other could she say, <I love. This one only do I adore; the one whose hand often led me from ray mother's side to roam tho fields to pluck the lily ; and often be¬ neath the sturdy oak he fanned me, when the summer's heat gave rich color to my,cheek,and nimbly would be run for a drink from the cold fount to quench my thirst. But now he will bid farewell—farewell, perbaps, forever; no more can I gaze on his face; no more recline on him aa the safe guard of my life.'
Thus she mused, when a half audible and suppressed sigh escaped her lips.
* Carrie, whence this sigh, do you even yet think of lime past when we roamed over the
Ms, the air ringing with our merry laughter.'
' Yrs, Charley, for so I  still  shall call you,
lugh  many  years have  past, yet ray mind
often recalls those happy hours when you were
by my side.'
But I have changed, dearest Carrie ; I am no more the Charles of former days ; I feel the heavy hours passing like the fleeting clouds, since you are near me.'
' You aay so now, dearest Charles, but when far distant from thy homo, and another one by thy side, you may forget me, and perchance when she speaks of other one^, you will only tbink of the childish Carrie."
' Nay, wouldst thou not ask me to speak of thee, dearest, as my roaming Carrie, as tliough years made no change. Yea, tliou art tbe same—the Carrie of former'tSiiys. And such would I remain. I know well how oft tliy kind hand would chase away the tear, or sym¬ pathy allsviate the pain of a fall.'
* But, Cliarley, do you recollect the time you called me your little wife, and your kind bond would chase away the frown from my brow, saying, it meant me all.'
' Yes, Carrie, I can imagine you now'
' As the childish Carrie t See you not I have grown since you left us 't Is there no change ? Why, Charles, you would not say I am still ihe roaming Carrie.'
' No, far from it. Though wben I gaze on thee I think I see my foriner Carrie; but the feelinga   I   cannoi  judge.    Couldai   thou read
ine, I would still be the Charles of former days.*
Thou art to me, at least, as sucb. Nor shall I accuse you, that for a moment, thou wouldst suppose I were changed. Though changed in appearance, I am the same Carrie.'
* Not changed, it Is true—the friend of former days—the toy who with you followed the but¬ terfly in its liannls—tbe child wbo in reckless glee would laugh at thy miafortune.'
' Nay, dearest Charles, you forget the time I fell in the lawn. With tears in your eyes, you ran and told ma I had fallen and could not walk; and when lookl.ig around I stood behind you laughing, for I, mischievously, had only tried your feelings,'
' But well do I remember the time a bee had stong me, and I atood bewailing the pain, your hand applied the clod, while standing by with tears rolling down your cheeks; and when the pain had left my cheek, your merry laugh at my distorted face made me forget all.'
* This ia the cheek, is it not, dear Charley,' at time putting her fair hand to hia face.
'Yes ; and this is the fair hand whicfi allevi¬ ated the pain,' at the same time taking her hand in his.
* Yea, verily, and hast thou already learned the flatterer's tongue. Is it thus So soon that I must hear that which I'iletest. Ah, Charles, read me better.*
'Read tbee better! Nay, thy soul alone would I wish to know. Carrie, far from it, that my tongue be lured with the flatterer's verse; but tell me, as I am still tbe Charles of former days, am I the friend also.'
'Charles, dear Charles, would you doubt that she, who in her childhood days confided in thee, would now leave thee '/'
' No, never! Carrie, dearest;' and his proud head lowered to her brow as he said,' doat thou love me ; canst thou cling to me as thou didst formerly; confide as truly now as then. Tell mc, may I hope that thou, at least, art not changed.'
' Change has left me the same. Time has stamped thine image here,* and sho put tho other hand on her hoart.
' Tell rae, Carrie, dost tliou love me as no other; and when a bome I havo prepared, will you promiae me you alone wil! be mine.*
She closed ber eyes, and no word escaped from her Ups, whilst she tried to hide her blush¬ ing face. He pressed her to hia bosom and improsaed a kias on her fair lip saying,
* I tako the vow no other to love but thee, my sweet, my lovely, Carrrie. I pledge myself I am thine. I love none but -thee, my dearest Charles.'
Again he drew her to his bosom, and pressed another kiss on her fair lip, and was gone. (To Be continued.)
