THE VOW—(An original Tale.)
BY MISS PF.NINA MOISE.
A beautiful bright afternoon in October
bad been selected tor the launch of a stately
vessel and amid the acclamation of an admi
ring multitude the Clara Conway darted from
lier stocks, like a spirited belle on her first
-debut. The commotion had subsided the
day bad departed, and with it the crowd ol
spectators, whose reiterated shouts of “ God
•speed the Clara Conway /” still echoed in
the ear of a veteran, who lingered near the
launch absorbed in motcly speculations. “ Ay!
(■oil speed her !” repeated he—and then as
if lollowing the current of his thoughts, added
—“ -see with what majestic serenity she re-
poses in the moonlight 1 Neptune seems en
chanted with the novice, and is wooing her
in a tremulous whisper, as I suppose some
Sea-God is now doing to her sweet name-sake,
bless her. Well,” continued he, turning the
quid rapidly in his mouth, from side to side,
“ well they’re a pair of noble creatures ; I
wqudcr which of them will keep her course
the best ? The fair young thing just launched
upon the stream of fashion, or the fine ocean
flower whose stem hiis freshly sprung upon
the wf .Id of waters.” “ I wish you much
joy Capt. Conway,” said graceful a young
West Indian, extending his hand towards the
grave soliloquist. “ Your two Claras engross
general admiration to-night.” Thunk you
Frank Belmont, but what has brought' you
from Conway House ?” “ The command of
its reigning divinity,” answered he gaily.
“ She commissions me to tell you, that un
less you repair forthwith to the festal scene,
she will grow excessively jealous of he r ma
rine sister.” Tne old man turned to obey
the summons, but appeared unusually dispiri
ted and abstracted while his companion rat
tled ou, in the most extravagant spirits.
« You are vastly gay to night, Frank, consid
ering how soon you are to leave home on
your first adventure.” ** Why, my dear sir,
will not the wooden walls of your favorite af-
forJ me ns comfortable an abiding place as
heart could desire ? Besides, you know I am
to be a cosmopolitan, aud will, therefore, cher
ish no local predilections.”
“ But,” returned the Captain, “ I thought it
only natural that you should feel sonic little
regret at parting from Clara, whose mother
trained you to nmnhood, and for whom you
once professed a brotherly fondness, though of
late you have indeed appeared most unac
countably estranged.” It was now Belmont’s
turn to become abstracted, and he walked on
ns moodily as if he leaden wand of dullness
had suddenly transformed him to a mute.
Not another word wad exchanged between
them until they entered the house. It was
indeed a fairy revel ; Clara had attired her
I self to represent night. She wore a deep
I blue robe embossed wiih slurs of gold. This
was draped by black gauze of such delicate
texture, that you might have thought some
frolic sprite had left a mist upon the loom,
in which it had been wrought. A golden
crescent spanned the space between her tem
ples. Some of the naval officers present
had proposed a wreath dance, and after per
forming a few fantastic evolutions, they had
linked the garlands together so as to form a
•ship, in the centre of which stood. Clara, the
radiant personification of night. On the en
trance of her father she attempted to advance
towards him, but found herself so entangled
in the flowery toils, that she could not extri
cate herself without the assistance of those
who had entwined them. She looked be
seechingly at cacli of them in turn, but they
only enjoyed her perplexity, and refused for
some minutes to release her. What was
there, in this simple freak, that could occa-
sion Frank Belmont to compress his lips
with so much violence, that a blood-drop fell
unmarked by him upon the little ivory anchor
which in common with the rest of the mule
part of the company, had been assumed as a
badge for that evening.
This intensity of emotion at a trifle, must
be referred to the most powerful of all human
passions operating upon a tropical tempera
ment. The Othello had been stirred within
his bosom, by remarking with what peculiar
animation Clara had appealed to Lieutenant
AUudstane for her emancipation. This gif
ted son of Thetis was indeed an acknowl
edged star. Nature appeared to have done
for him, what the Grecian Artist had for He
len. She had assembled the graces and
made them tributary to his perfection. There
was an elegant suavity of manner—an inimi
table grace of movement that rendered him
irresistibly prepossessing. In Frank only
had it produced an opposite effect; fox not
withstanding tho extreme affability exercised
by that officer, in his intercourse with this ir
ritable young man, he bad conceived an in
vincible prejudice against him. The blush
ing captive addressed herself a second time
to the Lieutenant, and challenged him by all
that was courteous and knightly to assist her
in escaping from the magic maze. « Lady,”
said he, bowing gracefully, “we boast no
Bedford power of warring against witchery
as far as I am concerned you are as free
as air.” Dropping that link of the verdant
labyrinth, he had till then supported, he
led her,; to her father, who, laughing hear,
tily, said he was just considering whether
he should not send a West India reefer to her
rescue. This remark attracted attention to.
