BLAKESLEE’S PREPARED PAINT
meets a want that has longheen full. by many painf-
ersas well as. consumers, and in offering it to the
ublic we feel warranted in recommending it for the
yellowing reasons: It costsless than pure lead. It
will cover more surf..cei spread easier and look bet-
ter, and while its cost s one-third less, it will last
one-third longer than the bestlead paint and is far

’MERCH’A’NT’S CLERK.
CHAPTER v1.
, Another month passed away with ,almost
the rapidity of thought. . spring, with its
paleverdure, its delicate wild, flowers, its
blossoming fruit tre'cs,’its deep‘ azure 'skies
and its, gentle gales, was gone, and the mid-
summer was upon us. Dailyengaged in an
occupation the most prosaic ofsny upon this
sometimes monotonous, earth, and in my
leisure hours reveling in the delightful antic-
ipations ofa passion the most poetical with
which God has blessed his creature, man, I
look no note of the fleeting days and weeks,
' but glided tranquiily along the'stream of
time, happy in that I loved,and, as I fondly
thought, was beloved.
It was a deceitful dream, but call, it not
foolish. God’s own most holy name is love,
and the sweetest,th purest, the holiest of
all emotions which agitate the bosoms of us
frail and erring mortals isalso love. I would
not exchange places with that man, who in
pride of intellect can sneer at young afflic-
tion. I would never appeal to such an one
were I bowed down with misfortune I would
shrink from companion. .I would new con-
sign the poor. and friendless to Ilia pity or
charity. The heart that warms not at the
story of another’s love, can never have felt
the kindly flame kindling within itself, and
I would pity rather than blame its possessor,
for his life must have been desolate, and his
death will be cheerless. Let; 'men call such
a. passion, and those who feel it, speak of it,
or write of it, weak and foolish. It springs
from .the purest and deepest recesses of - the
human heart ; it is dictated by the God of
nature ; it enables every faculty of the soul;
its_happiness is the happiness of the angels,
—and I glory in such happiness and folly.
W oil! I am running away from my
story. The entrance of the harbor of N—
is dotted with numerous islands of various
sizes and figures ; some dry, sandy and
bleak, others covered with luxuriant vegeta-
tion, and others still ridged with tall rows of
forest trees. They are pleasant places, those
islands,.in the calm, warm days of summer,
when the waters are hushed and motionless,
and the bright sun glistens across them with
a lustre more of heaven than of earth ; when
the snowy sails of distant vessels glide info
and out of sight like silent spirits, and the
blue hills of Long Island are but half dis-
cernible on the southern horizon. And
lovelier still are they of a summer’s night,
when the moon is cloudlcss and a shadowy
pail seems to rest over the still expanse of
Waters.
It was on such a night, now long ago, that
a sailboat drew up to the shore of one of
the smaller islands. It was a picturesque
' spot. ~The land rose out of the waves almost
circularly. and gradually. sloping upward,
formed a low grass-covered hill, on whose
summit there were somehalf dozen sombre
looking pine trees. About half way up the
slope stood a ruined house or hut—the only
vestige of which now remaining is a heap of
stones and mortar—once a portion of the
chimney. At that time, however, the build-
ing was entire, through dilapidated.
The sail boat that I have mentioned con-
tained four persons, two of either sex, besides
Jake the negro, who acted at once as cap-
tain, pilot and crew of the little craft. The
party were in high glee; songs and laughter
had been ringing over the waters, till they
reached the ,island, and as they. stepped
ashore the hilarity increased rather than
Subsidcd. .
“Fasten your boat here anywhere, Jake,”
said I—for I was there, and Ellen, loo-
“we’ll take a stall around the island and be
back soon." The -two.- other. persons. who
stood on the shore with us, andprepared to
follow us in our walk, were Richard, or as
‘we familiarly called him, Dick Manton, and
his betrothed,'Mary Willis. He was a noble
‘fellow, good looking withal,,ond rejoiced in
the love of as glorious a girl as ever
breathed. _ > . '
“I say, Harry,” said he, suddenly, “look
at the old house yonder. I’d swear I saw a
light in it just now.” . _
I looked. but could see nothing except the
sombre outline of the building, and its broken
and decaying structure. seemed to preclude
the idea of its being tenanted. '
“Pshaw i Dick,” said I, “it was nothing
but the reflection of Mary’s. eyes that you
saw." .
As I spoke Ellen grasped. my am more
tightly,.andexclaimed in a suppressed tone,
“there is a light there, Harry, I saw it this
moment." ,
“You must be. mistaken, Ellen,” I replied,
“it cannot be. The reflection of the moon
from the water has deceived you ; but I will
' go and see at all events."
“Oh i no, Harry," said she, “let us. go
back,I am timid,” she continued in a half
whisper, “since the other night.”
"I saw no light,” Said Mary Willis. “I
think you must be mistaken Richard, and
Ellen, too."
“At any rate,” said 1, “we can go around
the shore of the island. to the other Side,
where we shall have an uninterrupted view
of the sound; and we mustn’t lose that.”
“Well, let’s go then,” was the' reply.
_ Slowly we walked along the silent shore,
sometimes- disiurbing the repose of night
with merry laughter, but oftencst breathing
in low tones the feelings of young hearts ;
for the quiet majesty of the place and hour
were not without their effect upon us. At
lust we gained the opposite side of the island,
and all paused instinctively in admiration of
.tlic scencybeforel us. There was nosound,

“Very well. That's my shirt . ‘

curled and broke at our feet, and the monot-
onous moaning voice of the distant ocean.
Close before us the waters were lit up with
a golden lnslrc, but they grew dimmer and
dimmer as they rcceddi, until afar off, a vast
shadow seemed to rest overthem, and final-
ly to hide them from view. There, in that
solitary stillness, the moon and few scatter
ed stars appeared like companions, and
almost seemed to respond to the instinctive
utterance of the heart. '
Of a sudden, Ellen, with a wild scream,
threw her arms around my neck. and
at the same instant a rough voice exclaimed:
“H— i get out of the way. I don t want
to hurt the gal.”
‘ [turned hastily, and beheld a strongly
built man, with a low-crowned hat on,
-raising a heavy stick, in the very act of
striking, while Richard Mouton lay sense-
less at the feet of another and taller man,
who was holding Mary Willis in his power-
flil grasp. _
I was defencelcss, with the exception of
a small . walking stick, which I carried in
myh'a'nd, and my arms were ampeded by
the half lifeless form of Ellen. ‘My head
began to reel and I was giving myself up

dowu- the hill, with immense strides,'and

CHAPTER v11. *
It is now necessary to go: back somewhat
in my narrative, in order to nominal for the
unexpected occurrences related i'n‘the latter
part of the preceding chapter.
It was about sunset of colour summer
afternoon, that the two men, Jenkins and his
former companion, sprang from a small skiff
upon the shore oflhe 'tilcisland ihatI have
already described. for having anchored
their'boat, they took flow it "u. basket con-
taining a number of fish recently caught,
and a bottle of some strong liquor. ' Thus
equipped ' they advanced directly to the
ruined house and entered by a weather
beaten door—the, only apartment which the
building could boast. It was an uncouth,
grim-looking room, with its wide and smoky:
fire. place, its cracked and ragged walls, and
its blackened ceiling fggmed simply of the
roof and clumsy rafters; . There were no-
chnirs or furniture of any description, except
two or three large blocks of wood, and in one
corner of the fire-place lay- a heap of broken
pine sticks. —
“Come, Bill, stir around, and make a fire,
while I dress some of these fish for supper,
will you?”
“Aye, aye,” was the reply, “where’s the
matches ?” ' . _
“In the closet there,” said Jenkins, point-'
ing to a. small door on} one side of the hearth
which Watson (for such was the other-’9
name) opened and displayed a, few shelves
on which were some rusty knives and forks,
half-a-dozen wooden plates, and a box of
biscuits.
The fire was made, the repast prepared
and hastily devoured, and the two men sat
down by the still glowing embers to discuss’
their plans.‘
. “Well,” said Watson, “we didn’tgive that
youngster anything more than a ducking ,
t’other night, after all.”
“No,” replied Jenkins, “and be frightened
me horribly the next morning. I s’posed
the fellow was dead, and I was standing by
old Royston’s, close where the lane turns ofl
to go down by the creek, when who should
I see butthis chap coming along up the lane,
jabbcring away with Debtor Maltocks, and
as lively as ever, only a, little pale. I started
as ifI had seen a ghost, for aminute, and
then dove down into Royston’s. The fellow
noticed me and I believe knew me, though I
couldn't tell for certain."
.“Well, let him go, you've paid him off
pretty well, and it was d—d folly to pitch-
him into the creek, as it was, for it’s no use
to be getting yourself into a scrape when
you can’t make anything by it.”
“I know it, Bill, but then, blast him i he
interfered when he'd no right to, and I hate
a man who interrupts me with the women.
I’ll get a chance at that girl yet and pay him
011‘ through her, at any rate.”
“Pshaw i man,let the gal alone ! Apretiy
looking chap you are, to be talking in that
way of one of old. Harding’s daughters !
He. 1 ha ! ha i” .
“What the devil do you mean, Bill,” said
the other, springing up fiercely, “you ought
to know I’m not a man to he laughed at."
“80 I do, Tom, so I do,” said the other
soothingly, “I beg your pardon, I’ll not do
it again."
“Oh i God! Bill,” said Jenkins, in a tone
of deep anguish, and sinking down upon one
of the blocks, “how old times are coming
back upon me now ; they will come some-
times and I can’t drive them away. I’ve

moments.
At last, without changing his posilion, he
continued in a hollow voice, “yes I remem-
ber it all, just as it looked ; there is my
mother's house, for -my father died when I
was but a child, and there's the old apple

remembrance of his victim, and conscious
of his own degradation and wretchedncss,
it seemed a fitting time for 'the angel of
mercy to intervene and calm the struggling
soul to penitence and hope. But when he
heard his cOmpaniou’s words, and had drunk
the maddening draught for which he craved,
his: countenance . again assumed its expres-
sipn of settled malignity, the demon entered
his heart, and the guardian spirit fled for-
ever. .
“What are they doing, Bill i" said he.
“They’ve left their boat and—hark l I can
hear thcin talking. They’re going around to
the other side of the island.”
“How many arclhere of them i’:
“Only four, two boys and mo gals.”
“Bill, will you stick by me now '1’”
“Why, Tom, what do you want t”
“Knock these fellows down, carry off the
gals, and make the old folks pay a good run-
som to get them back again.”
“We should certainly be caught.”
“No we wouldn’t, man; I’ll explain how
it’s to be managed after we get the girls ;
will you do it 1’”
.“Yes; but, Tom, recollect no murder; I
don’t want any blood on my hands."
“No, no ; we’ll only rap the, youngsters
over the head, just enough to make them
quiet, and then take charge of the girls our.
selves." . '
“Well, I’mready then.” .
“Take this slick, Bill. I’ll leave the fol:

on."

“Look out, Tom,”_shoutcd Watson. ’ ,
My assailant turned in‘ time to parry a
blow which the negro had aimed at him,
and at the same moment cried to his com-
paniou:
“Drop the gal, Bill, and be 00'. We’re
whipped this time.”
“Reckon you are, Mn,” said Jake, drop-
ping his oar, and springing at his opponent’s
throat, “guess you didn’t think of the old
nigger, did you?"
There was alfierce struggle for a moment,
but before I could disengage‘myself from the
lifeless form of Ellen, Jenkins hgd freed him-
self from lhegmsp of the negro, and with
IWatsOn, fled to their boat. which was moor-
ed only a few'_r’ods. from us, and ere we
thought of pursuing them, they had left a
wide space of water between themselves
and the shore.
“Jake," said I,.clasping the hand of the
honest Africanflyon’re a hero."
Above all things I despise this mongrel-
aristocracy, which we are but too apt to
meet on this side of the Atlantic.
mawkish pride,that disgusting conceit which
can see nothing noble in man but wealth ;
whose dearest love is centered on real
estate; whose highest afl‘ections are lavish-
ed upon bank stock'and which turns away
from a brother clothed in humble garments,
not because he is dishonest or vile, but sole-
ly for that he is—poor. God held such men l
with nothing better to boast of than dollars ;
That
hey are hardly worthy 'of contempt, but
most sincerely are they to be pitted. Give
me the man who has a soul that can discern
what is truly noble in his brothenman; that
offers not his homage on the shrine of
wealth or station ; that in the ' conscious
dignity of his nature knows himself not!»
math, and considers himself not above any
human being; that claims kindred with the
brave and honesthcart wherever it may be
found. whether it best behind rags, or silks
and velvets, whether the face, which is the
index, be black, yellow or white, beautiful
or ugly. 'l‘o such gladly would I extend
the right hand of fellowship. while from the
pampered children of effluent vanity, I
would turn away with mingled scorn and
compassion. -
“A prince may make a belted knight,
A marquis. duke, and a’ that;
An honest men’s about. Ms might,
Guid faith! he mannnn fn’ that.”
So I thought as I grasped the negro’s‘
hand, and said, “Jake you’re a hero.”
“Well, Mr. Lovell," was the reply, “I don’t
kncfiv about that, but it’s thunderin’ hard to
have them fellers git away. Ah! you ain’t
mindin’ what I say—but you’re right though,
and while you’re bringin’ Miss Ellen to life,
I’ll see to Mr. Manton, here, and In“; gal.”
By the united exertions of 'Jake and my-.
elf, we succeeded in restoring the other
members of the party to consciousness,and
found no special harm done, except a slight
ontusion on Manton’s head. .
“Come,” said Jake, suddenly, “tis time to
be off.” And, making the best of our way.
to the boat, we werespecdily on our home;
.warcl route.
“Jake," said I, after I had for some time’
ilently watched the ripples curling. around
the prow of' our little , vessel, while Ellen.
was half reclining in my arms, “Jake, how
happened it that you came so opportuncly
to our assistance ?”
“Why, you see, Mr. Lovell, while I was
moorin’ the boat, I heard you say somethin’
about a light in the old house, but I thought
nothin’ of it, till all of a sudden, after you
had got out of sight, I heard a voice up
there, and pretty . soon I see’d a couple of ‘
men come out and kinder crawl along up:

“Be careful of yourself, Harry," said she,
looking up in my face, “will you not ? Foi-
my sake at least.” . . :
“ch, Ellen,” said I, “I will,” and Ipresllr
ed mylips to her pale forehead, “but I
lshould like to catch the rascal, neverthe-

“We will, Jake, we will,”and with a
hearty good-night from each, we lefl‘him,
and sought our homes.
There is a spot in the outskirtsof the
village 'of N , which used to be one Of
my favorite places of resort. It is a'wild,
rugged eminence'nearly or quite a‘ mile in
a north-eastern direction from the centre 0f
the town and affords from its highest 'pOLllL'
one of the best miniature views I ever be-
held. I have called it an eminence; there
is rather a cluster of hills, broken, and at
present mostly cleared of forest ’ trees. The
summits of these hills-are projecting masses
ofrock, from the appearance of which, the
whole locality has received a commoh.
appellation. , .
Itwasaweek subsquent to tho evenfs

of one encircling the waist of the other were,
Ellen Harding and myself. It was a quie't'
and lovely scene, 4 In the valley before us
lay the village half hidden by the foliage
of the trees; further on, the winding water's
in that peacethl'stillness, seemed like those:
fairy regions that we read ofin stories 01'
the olden time; while beyond'st intervals
the white sails of vessels were gliding;;0ver
the calm surface of the soundsnd afar in .
the distance the. blue hills ofLong Island
. rose in relief against} the glowing, sky.
. “I: am never merry when I-‘hear sweet
music,” said gentle Jessica, and thus have I
felt that I am never merry when I behold
a lovely landscape. I.know not why it is.
but at such moments the heart seems too
full for utterance, and an influence,_pleasing
from its very power, settles down upon the
spirit and bushes. the thoughtless levily and
discordant feelings of earth to rest. It is at
such limes that memories of childhood and
youth and mature sge' come thronging'
upon the mind, with a might never felt be-
fore. Things that had been fergotten ill

silenced forever, glances that spoke from:

spoken perhaps in idle mood, or-peréhaDCe
in anger or in love, that were Scarce thought
bringing with them a thousand associations;
of joy or sorrow, now mellowed by time
and subdued to a pleasurable melancholy.'
But then, as I sat there with Ellen, a
more troubled feeling weighed heavily ‘
upon me. I struggled to shake it off, but in; .
vain. It seemed like a dim foreboding of
coming disappointment and from its very
vagueness was the more oppressive.
“Ellen,” said I. ‘I am unaccountably dull
this evening. I know not .why it is, I feel,
saddened aluioSt beyond endurance.” '\
“Indeed, Harry,” said she, “I share the
think Of any cause for it; yet I have been:
apprebensivo of danger of some kind since
our visit to the island the other evening.”
“You think to much of that Ellen; it was.‘

“Well, Harry, I will hope for the best,buti '

wretched man sank down upon his rude
seat with a convulsive shiver.
The face of his companion was ashy pale
and he remained silent till Jenkins spoke
again.

to the shore. And afterwardFI can’t re-

“No, no,Jcnkins," said his companion,
"not so bad as that ; you never told me this
before indeed ; but it can’t be helped now ;
cheer up and be yourself again.”
“Why don’t you kill me, Bill,’.’ said the
other, raising his haggard face, “I shall be
killed at last, I know I shall, and the sooner
the better, for I can't hear those glassy eyes
and that beckoninghand ; it seems like-—

how can it but be pleasant always? And,
so, I’m ever content to be forgotten.” ,
