relating took place, the town of N

 

 

HE subscriber wouldrespectfullycsllthcatten differed in many respects from What it is \at

present. I do not know that there is much
alteration in the character of its inhabitants,
except that they have grown somewhat
more orderly of late years, and have not the
same proportion of royIstcring blades among
them that they used to have; but, then as
now, they were a busy set of mortals,
crowdiugand . jostling each other along the
great thoroughfare of life, aiming at sub-

.siauce and catching bubbles ;—then as now,

Madam Gossip sat enthroned among them,
and ruled triumphant at morning calls, tea-
parlies and neighborly visitations;—then
as now, they were a free-and easy, good na~
lured, kind hearted, hospitable wiibal and
disposed to make every bodyelse as happy
as possible without seriously incommoding
themselves. But the appearance of the
town has changed. ,Buildings, that'had
stood since the Revolution have _been torn
down and theirplaces supplied with during
new edifices ot “ the latest fashion ;" vacant
lots haveJJeen filled up with stores and
dwellings, churches have been built and
other alterations have been made, and——
perhaps-e-some few improvements, though
N is one .of those odd places-where
old nuisances are preferred to new conven-
iences. .

On the eastern extremity of the Bridge
there is a street which turns to the north.
In 182-, there'siood a short distance from
the corner on the right side of the street as
you go northward, an old~fashioned un-
painted dwelling house;its gable end to-
wards the road, and its front, if it may be
called such, toward the south. The entrance
is on the southern side, which also had
along its whole extent a kind of shed, or
piazza, where the inmates of the house in
former times, had been accustomed to. sit and

 

ing the pleasant summer afternoons.

It was the evening on which the events
narrated in the preceding chapter took place,
and about the same hour. In the south-
eastern apartment of thé building above-
described was the man I have called Jen-
kins. The room was old-fashioned,'wiih a
large fire-place, half a dozen ordinary wood-
en-bottomed chairs, ‘a cherry table, and a
pair of iron candlesticks standing on the
-wide and blackened mantlepiece. At any
other time it would have appeared cheer-
less there, for the hearth was without fire,
the fioor‘staine'd and uncarpeled, and the
walls and ceiling cracked and crumbling off.
But the yellow light of the declining sun
gleamed through the dusty windows as if it
“wished to bring cheerfulness to that sombre
spot. The old chairs seemed to brighten up
,and.try to put on the merry looks of their
better days,‘the sooty chimney smiled grim-
ly, and the chinks in the walls assumed a
demurely jocund aspect. _
All this however producedhb effect on
Jenkins. With his hands behind him, he
walked moodily across the room, sometimes
pausing at the window to look out, as if ex;
peeling another person, and then turning
away again with quicker step and an im-
patient muiiering, while now andzthen [he
disjointed sentences aloud, though he was
entirely alone. At last he seated himself,
exclaiming angrily——

“ Why the deuce don’t be conic! He’ll

miss ’em yet—he wasn’t fit for such busi-

ness, and Emight have known it.
Suddenly hestartcd up with a wild ges-_
tore, his nostrils dilated,his eyes staring and

CHAPTER III.
The last 'faint gleam of twilight had fa-
ded from the western sky as Ellen and my-
self took our route . homeward from the
Rocks. .A soft and cooling breeze whisper-
ed through the air, blending half mourn-
fully with the ceaseless monotone of the
distant waiers,-the forest was vocal with
the music of a thousand insects, and the
meadows and shrubbery sparkled with the
glancing light of nuinbcrlcss fire-flies.
Absorbed in our own coniemplaiions, we
proceeded for sqme time'slowly pad, in
silence. .At last Ellen spoke— ' '
“Do you believe in presentments, Har-
ry ?”
“ I do not,” said I, “ often in hours of de-
spondency thoughts arise which seem to
look toward the future and dimly to fore-
shadow coming events; and the mind, in its
relaxed and. weakened state, loves—yes,
even loves to give credence to them. But
they pass away with the melancholy which
caused them, and are thought Of no more,
till sadness ngainIclouds the 'soul and disor-
ders the imagination.
“ Well, it may be so, but it seems to me
otherwise; there are times, when, as yOu
say, a despondency settles down upon me
almost too heavy to.bcar. At such gloomy
hours, this earth seems a dreary desert—
adesdlation without one single sunny or
verdant spot; those who are nearest and dear-
est tome, who have watched over me from
infancy, and now regard mewilh a parent’s
or sister’s fondness, seem removed afar from
me—strangers—nay, almost enemies. I feel
as if I had not a single friend on earth, life
is utterly desolate and death appears close
at. hand. Yet, in these very moments, I
cling more than ever to existence—it is a.
strange contradiction, but it is neverthe-
less, even so. Of latethese feelings have
not visited me, andI know not why they
should come now.”
“ Indeed,” said I, “ it is but natural that it
should be so. The silence of the hour, the
growing darkness, the solitude, and the dim
moaning sound of the ocean rolling afar ofl',
influence ihe-imaginatibn and awaken mém-
cries and associations of a saddening nature.
Recollections of the absent and perchance
of the dead, rise to the mind ; the innocent
enjoymcnis Of early childhood come' fresh
to remembrance as bright as they seemed of
old ; and then in- contrast with them, come
the disapppointmenis, and perhaps the
anguish that followed; unkind words or
actions spoken or done hastily, that may
have grieved a lOving heart or estranged a
once warm friend, rise up in judgment
against us; opportunities of doing or gain-
ing good, that have been neglected in our
thoughtlessness, present themselves reprov-
ingly to us, and we are sad because we de-
serve to be so. This is not very flattering,
Ellen, but you know how well I love you,
and you would not yourself, wish me to be-

“ No, Harry, I would not; I would prefer
that you and all should see me as I am, and
should treat me as none other than what I
am, and not cause me to doubt your sincer-
ity, and my own capacity, by representing
me as superior to others of my age and
sex.” .

“ Well, Nell,” said I, “ I will tell you
what you are; you are a dear, sweet, glor-
ious girl, and I ” 2

“ Stop, Harry,” exclaimed she, placing
her hand upon my lips, “ I’ll not be treated
so, not even by you; I'll not, and to prove
it—see here—we are where the roads cross;
will you go directly on, over the hill, or
turn-to the right, and go around that way' ?”

g.'For n‘e‘arly an'hourvr'e-wb tbmiilfsile ce,
(filth?) keel of the vessel grated On the 's lid,
and 'my 'captor sprang on shore. After
mooring the boat, he once more tOOkIme up!
in his arms, carried‘me ten 'Or twenty rods,
entered a building of some description, an'd
opening a small aperture in the floor, let me'
fall upon a heap of straw, in a kind of v‘ ult
' beneath. He then came down himsel ,by
means ’of a short ladder, and binding {my
- feet I‘together; fastened them with 3a short
chain to'a staple in the firm sioneworll of
the walls. He then removed the cards
which pinioned my arms, andkept the cloth
which enveloped me in its place ; and s|ep-I
ping back,'proceeded leisurely to light a
small lamp which stood On a rough shelf in
one corner. ' Feeling my arms freed,I threw
the covering from my head, and after look-
ing around bewildered for a moment, pry
eyes rested on the man, as he turned from
lighting the lamp, and I sprang fiercely
toward him. But the chain and co‘rds
which bound my feet, dragged me back and
I fell upon my face. The man laughed scdrn-
fully. I raised myself to a sitting position,
and looked around me for a means of escape.
The vault wits about eight feet square, with
walls of rough stone, and the floor was the
damp soil, partially covered with straw.
The height of this denI_,wss not more than
six feet, and its ceiling was composed of
large beams and heavy oak planks. There
was no furniture, nothing save the gleaming
lamp upon its solitary shelf. And I was
alone there with that guilty man. But I‘
felt no sensation of fear; I knew that Ellen,
too, was in his. power, and I thought not, of
myself only so far as by my own escape, I
could rescue her.. ‘ '
“Well, boy,” said he, “I have you finally.”
I looked at him fixedly for a moment and
then turning away, muttered, “leave me.”
“No 1” said he, “not yet. You ale igno-
rant oi the cause of all this ; you know not
who I am.” .
“Yes,” said I, “I do know you; you are
the drunken villain that would have in-
sulted an unprotected girl ; you are the
coward that with your guilty confederate
would creep behind those whom you dared
not face and strike them’down ; yOu are the
uhmanly wrelch that under the darkness .of
night has dragged me hither, and conveyed
her whom I love better than myself, to some
den of infamy beyOnd my assistance}! .

. “Ha ! ha! right, you know me better than
I thought; yes, boy, I have done all- this,
and why ? Do you remember how yOu
struck me to the earth one moonlight even-
ing? I never forgive ; since that time I
have watched you ; when you came to tliis
island—for this is the very spot where your
negro rescued you from me, and‘ this the
very house in which I and another lay bid
as you left your boat ; then, when you came
hither I thought you were in my power, but
I failed then, and I meant not to fail again,
and I have not. My companion thought I
pursued you for the sake of gain. But .i'
was not so. It was because I loved crime.
Look at me, boy, I am: a murderer; do you
doubt it i I killed a woman, compared to
whom your foolish yr] is as a lamp to the
sun ; a woman, whom I tooloved—for even
I have known what it is to love, because she
preferred another man to myself; and since
then I have been haunted night and day,
and nothing but guilt, continual guilt pre-
serves me from that terrible visuation. If
my heart yields to one hope of virtue, if u
gleam of mercy enters my mind, then I see
her; her pale face, her glassy eyes, and her
hand beckoning—beckoning to me, and .1
must give myself .up to thoughts and deeds
fit only for hell, are I can be myself again.
Why do you not tremble instead of gazing
at me so mournfully ?”

“Alas! poor man i” said I.“I pity you;
guilty, wretched, haunted by the image (if
your victim, and driven to desperation'by‘
the gnawingsof remorse, you are no object
for fear or mug, and from my soul, I pity
you.” ‘

Again he laughed scornfull y.

“Save your pity for yourself; you will
need it all, I can assure you. And now
mark what I say. Food and drink will be
placed here for you daily. You will be kept
in this cell till your eye has gl own dim, and
-_vour cheek pale; till strength has departed
from your body, and more than all, till your
spirit is broken; ti ilh hope crushed, life-
shall seem a hell, and you shall be fit to
share my lot, my guilt, and my misery. Ah !
your lip quivers now i” '
“Not with fear, though. but with determi-
nation. And now mark my words; I will

Barnum» “ Brick Elan.”
BARN‘UM, “Fiji-Mermaid-Tom-Thnmb-
Wolly-Horse-Joyce-Hclh Barnum,” as Squi-
bob fqeetiously' calls him, thoroughly un-
derstands the art of advertising, turning
every possible circumstance to his own ac-
count. In his “ Struggles and Triumphs"
he gives this amusing illustration of his in-
genuity :—To an able-bodied beggar who
was willing to work, after putting him inio
a theatrical uniform, he gave five common

. bricks, telling him to go and lay one on the

sidewalk at the corner of Broadway and
Ann street, another close by the Museum, a
third diagonally across the way at the cor~
net of Broadway and Vesey street, by the
Astor House, the fourth on the sidewalk in
front of St. Paul’s Church, opposite; then’
with the fifth brick in hand, to take up a
rapid march from .one point to the other,
making the circuit, exchanging. his brick at
every point, and speaking to no one. With
theremark “ thatit was all one to, him so
longas he could earn his living,” the: man
placed his bricks and. began his round.
Half an hour afterward at least five hun-
dred people were watching his mysterious
movements. He had assumed a military-
siep and bearing, and, looking as sober as a

judge, made no response whatever to the

constant inquiries as to. the object of his
siggular conduct. _ At the end of the first
hour the sidewalks in the vicinity were
packed with people, all anxious to solve the
mystery. The man, as directed, then went
into the Museum, devoting fifteen minutes
to a solemn survey'cf the halls, and after-
ward returned to his round. This was re-
peated every hour till sundown, and when-
ever the mau went into the Museum a hzen
or more persons would buy tickets and fol-
low him, hoping to gratify their curiosity in
regard to the purpose Of his movements.
Finally, the policeman, to whom I had im-
parted my object, complained that the ob-
' struction of the sidewalk by crowds had be-

Tm; Rrerrr PEBSUASION.-—In terrible
agony, a soldier lay dying in the hospital.
A visitor asked him a;
“What church are you of i” _

“Of the Church of Christ,” he replied.

“I mean of what persuasion are you i”
then inquired the visitor. ' - .
“Persuasion ! ’ said the dying man, as his
eyes looked heaveuward, beaming with lov
to the Saviour. “I am persuaded that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor prin.
cipalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate me from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus.”-C'hrlbtlhn at Work
