THE FATED RIVAL.
A Tlii-illiiig Story,
“This afternoon will seal my earthly fe.
lii-ity; I shall be the happiest man alive!”
ejaculated Edmund, on the n'l0l‘t1ll‘l£‘ of the
day on which he was to lead his Anna to
the liynzeneal altar.
it was no marvel, though Edmund ex-
ulied in the near approach of the hour
which was to coiisiirriinnte the nuptiztls of
two_ of the tnost devoted lovers the ivbiilil‘
pos-.s_s:ed
uf 1.-very quulty niciiutl _t‘:nU il,
which could be supposed to administer to
the bliss of him who was foi-tuned to be
her hnsb. nd. l- ut, independently ryf An
na’s abstract ascinations, there were cir-
cumstances which must of themselves
have produced in the breast of Edmund a
peculiar attachment. to her. Fire suitors
had importunely solicited her hand in mar-
riage during li_er courtship with him; and
among these was Mclwyn, a neighboring
nobleman, high in the estecin of his sover-
eign. But i‘ dmiind, though inferior in
station to'Mel~.iyn and each of his four
other rivals, was unliesiintingly and deci-
dedly preferrcd to them all. And no less
fervent was the tiflcction with which be
regarded -tuna. His entire existence was
bound tip in hers. and the world, and life
itself, when weighed in the balance with
her, was found to be iiicalculably vantirig.
The nuptial morn oftlie youthful lovers
was one of the most congenial and pleas-
ant whic.h'ever burst on the world since
its creation. It was in the month of A-

Nature herself, in fine, seemed on this oc
casiin to be jubilant at the approaching
nuptials of a pair who were so worthy of
each other.
The vassals of Emerson, Anna’s fatlidr,
exiilted without measure at the circui-
sauce of their chieftaiu’s only dough‘ r
being about to be united to the yotiih f
her choice; and as all were that evcni g
to participate in the ample festivities «if
the barrouial ball, they attircdtbemselvl
in the best costume of their clan, and pris-
pared to celebrate the joyous event with
all becoming respect for their cliieftayn
and the young biide and bridegroom.
The afternoon arrived. and at the hour
of five the beautilul bride approached tlle
liymeneal altar, accompanied by her mai s
oflionor, and the wives and daughters (if
the more respectable of her fatbei"s vas-I
sols. Edmund was present at the appoiil

beside the interesting couple, and befole
proceeding to the matrimonial ce|'8IIl0l]j';,
he littered with it mingled air of mildne*s
and solemity, the usual behest of “j n
bands.” - _
The lovers stretched out their respec-

the countless lesser lnminaries,= which‘ at

enshrouded from mortal gaze by one appa-

and their party, amounting in all to twelve
arrived at the par’: of the wall they were"
to attempt to scale, and one oftlie tallest
and stoutest of their number placed him-

four miles distant, followed by his vassals.
“Tliou art now in safe custody, young
bride,” said he to Anna, as one of his seri-
vants shut the ponderoi.-s iron gate which
fronted his walled castle.
On reaching his mansion, Melwyn led
it, and having placd before her the most
delicious refri shiiients the house could af-
furd,he pressed her to partake ofthem but
she refused. ,
“ls not thy foolish obstinacy yet over-
come, lady 1” said he to her, in a half-
sueoring tone. “Wliether, think yoit,”
continued the haughty chieftain, ‘-are a
dungeon and chains, or being made the
lady ofl\‘Ielwyn Castle, most to be prefer-
red 7. ’ ‘
Anna was silent.
“Nay, young maid, hast not thou the
use of that member so characteristic of
thy sex I ’ said Melwyn, sarcastically.
Anna, who had but partially recovered
from her swoon when wrested from the
arms of Edmund, and who had taken it for
granted that both he and her father had
bsen the victims of Melwyn’s limitless fu-
ry, implored the chieftain, in accents
which were repeatedly interrupted by the
irrepressible grief which swelled her gen-
tle bosom, and which vented itself in an
ocean of tears, to terminate her life that
ins ant, as an act of tender mercy.
“A few hours of a solitary dungeon will
perhaps bring thee to "thy senses, and cure
thee of thy regards for Edmund ; if not, I
shall then wed thee per force 1” said Mel-
wyn; and so saying, be dragged the ago-
nized Anna to a gloomy cell, in which he
was wont to incarcerate the persons of
his vassals who had incurred his displeas-
_ure.
The enraged chieftain then despatched
ahspecial messenger for a priest to unite
him and Anna together in marriage, but
being some distance from home, severa
hours elapsed before his services could be
oitained.
Emerson and Edmund, who, though
_.worsted in the conflict between them atid
Melw rn’s party, had been permitted to en-
joy their liberty unmolested a ter the lat-
ter bad decamped with Anna, began to
muse on the calamity which had befallen
them, and to think whether or not it was
in the range of possibility to do anything
for the recovery ofzhe person ofthe bride.
Edmund was intimately acquainted with
the localities of Melwyn’s castle and its
vicinity, and new that after sunset there
was one part of its walls defended only by
one ferson, which to adventurous spirits,
it would be perhaps practicable to seal ,

the sentinel, instead of standing to his post

'wall, was necessittted to remain outside.

lord of the castle held her snowy-white
hand in his—aro:ind was a numerous
"party---and the priest who had arrived but
a few minutes before, had just enunciiited
the J rst sentence of the matrimonial ser-
vice.
“Villian !” exclaimed Edmund, with his
eyes directed to Melwyn, and flashing at
the same time with boundle.-s indignation ;
and as he uttered the epithet, lie rushed
towards his hated foe, and ere the latter
:had time to use a weapon in his own de-
fence, he sheathed his sword in his bosom.
Melwyn fell arostrate upon the floor,
but such was the jealousyand deadly ani
mosiiy he bore towards Edmund that tho’
he survived but two"iniiiutes thereafter,
_he partially rose up, seized his da_gtzer,and
aimed it at the brea.~t of Anna, exclaimiug
at the same time, under the impression
the thrust was sticcessful——
“Nor shalt thou, scoundrel, enjoy her
either;” but Edmund had already seized
her in his arms, and the thrust which was
‘made at her proved mortal to .Melwyn’s
lown brother, who, in the confusion of the
T moment, occupied the place on which
Anna had stood but it moment before.
g Entering the castle of ‘.\lelwyn thus tin-
expectedly, and finding its inmates antici-
pating scen-vs of festivity rather than of
mortal conflicft, Edmund and his party
found no difficult_v—not even resistance-—
in carrying off Anna in triumph. 'lhc
only obstacle was the mossy iron gate
fronting the castle, but a sufficiency of it
was instantaneously demolished to admit
of their exit. They reached home in
an hour or two thereafter, and on the fol-
lowing day Edmund and Anna again ap-
p'roaclied the hymeneal altar, were united
together, and spent the remainder of their
days in peace and happiness.

This was the familiar appellation of a

night to their mothers as they hurriedly

du_s, _the famous Ve‘netia'n painter, placed
this inscription over his dorr: “No lei-
sure for gossipping. and those only admit-
ted who come upon business, which they
are especially requested to despatcb in as
few words as possible.” In the same way,-
but more gently, a learned Italian wrote
over his study door that no one could be
allowed to remain with him unless able to
aid him in his labors. Robert Boyle found
it necessary to advertise that he would not
receive visits on certain days. Boileau
observed to an idle an ignorant person,
who complained that he never returned his
visits—“Sir, we are not upon equal terms
—you call upon me merely to get rid of
your ti-r'i’ie_; when I call upon you, I lose
mine.” -

sailor, “take off the odd, and I’ll pay you

“Well," returned the doctor, “we wont

' The sailor laid down the sixpence, and
was walking off, when the doctor reminded
him ofhis mistake.
“No mi'stul«e at all, sir; six is even and
seven is odd, all the world over; so I wish
you a good day.” .
“Get you gone” said the doctor, “I’ve
made four pence out-of you yet.”
