There was a knock at Damigers door, which

by tic laws of Dantzie the debtor was either drag

seized. Either alternative was terrible. He looked
round the room. On one side stood the clock, the
child of his mind and industry; on the other was
Marguerite, beautiful in her gnef.
Phe man had lit a pipe and was carelessly amok
‘Come/* said the officer, at last, as shaking out
the ashes of his pipe and drawing himself to his full
stature so as to give weight to Ins authority—

and a. i . lips c!u.;g to hers ho exclaimed, “Perish
all things but love !’’ lie rose; he was on the point
of desiring tl. man t<> takeaway the clock In pay
ment of the bt, in the hope that he might redeem
it on the iuor<ow, when the sudden thought Htruck
h.m that the Cbunt was the instigator of this act.
He caught l.ujd of the man by one arm, which was
hanging litdiesny over the back of the chair, and
exclaimed:
• Tell me who went you on this mission V*
The man only looked round with an expression of
tsU>nishnie> v. !: preHumptum. and without deign
log sly reply, he resumed bis pipe.
•V\as n the Grand Master? 7 ’ asked Dumiger.
“t >bey my orUet and nnk no questions,” said the
man. ‘ You had better follow my example. I have
told you already that there is no ime to spare. Tell
me w hat 00U1 0 you intend to take. Give up some
artich iu this room—there ia that c’ock, which will
do more than pay the bill—or follow me immediate
ly. There is no other alternative.”
The whole conversation with the Grand Master
occurred to Dumiger. There could be 110 doubt
that the dock would go into his possession , that it
was a deep-laid scheme to spoil him of the result of
all his labor, lietter, far belter that Marguerite
should bear the pain of separation, than that the
dock should be endangered, and by such a man.
“Marguerite,” said Dumiger, iu a low voice, after
a long pause, “it is fixed. We must part for a short
time. I will write from my prison to some of my
friends; they will nofdef-ert,me in this necessity? A
tow short hours, and 1 shall return to you, my own
Marguerite.”
Hut Mar,-uerite had fainted, and the lipa which
touched his cl; k w ere cold and pule.
Slowly she opened those large blue eyes, and al
though her lips faltered, the look and the voice
wore both earnest as she bade him go.
• ‘ Y ei Dumiger, you are right, ambition such as
yoitr’a is h lor e et-I.ish passion than love like mine.
Leave me t ra time. I know the iuterval will be
abort. It is another step towards the greatness to
which you are uepii g.”
The man looked at them with a vague and ya
cant look ilu had been witness to this description
of ho*ue so icntiy that he began to believe it to
lo a part of the de btot ’ craft. Aa some people can
regard the most beautiful varying tints of heaven
the lights and shadows which flit across the face of
Nature, aud aee nothing more in them than a part
oi th i vast mid complicated machinery that gov
erns the world ; so he, 111 these lights and shadows ot
life, only beheld the natural workings of the human
mud.
With a pale cheek but a tirin step Dumiger de
parted Th hut eouiui hat fell upon his ear as he
Jett his door was the blessing murmured by his
brigo. Again lie felt disposed to turn back and
sacrifice ail O hi> affection ; but already one of the
city guard stood behind him, and the rattle of arms
0 n the payment wid him that Lis anest had not been
lightly pisnued or carelessly conducted.
The castle toward* which Dumiger and Ids guards
directed their steps was th* Grimshaus, formerly a
i-itadel ami an important point of defence for the
town of Dantzie, though now converted into a pri
son for political etlVmiers and debtors. The reader
may be aware that the laws against debtors in the
groat free commercial cities were intolerably severe.
&ome nen were permitted to groau away their
whole liv sin hopeless misery. The creditor was
lanßin without pita btor iinpitied. —
He was entirely at the mercy of the goaler, who
had it iii his power to load him with chains, and
even on the • gbo'-t pretext ot insubordination to
execute summary justice upon him. These laws,
however 1 id as yet little affected Dumiger; though
threatened wii; arrest on one or two previous ooca
sions, life difficulties lad always been arranged.—
But th* present debt was more serious than any
which had as yet been pi t t t*d for, and he could not
f>ut te.t l that trieiti-s might be less willing to become
surety.
They an v dat Ihe square in which the Grim
shaus wi.s situated. It was a wild, unhealthy,
att rn, fantastic pile, which ettHhi in point of fact,
upon an island, lot a wide, wet ditch, surrounded
it, excel)* where a di aw bridge connected it with the
squarn, the towers and ramparts had in some places
inouidered away, and huge bars of iron were intro
duoud iu ditTc.ent parts cf the wall to give strength
to the building, by l hiding th* yawning mason
w ork together.
The square \n as deserted, the cry of the sentinel at
the uioet die tart of the iandwatd posts sounded
omiuous, like that of a lost bird at night. Although
the moon shone brightly, i was difficult to distin
guish the who.* outline of the building on account
of the pes'iferous vapors which rose from the moat
and hung like a pa l over the recently flooded plain.
Through these mists the city chimes sounded muf
fled and melancholy It was solitude—-of all soli
tude the most fearful—a prison solitude in the neigh
horhood of a great town. The very escort appear
-d to feel the influ uce of their melancholy and
lonely scene, for the as the foot of the
vanguard ciwaged oil the drawbridge- This was
merely ti’.e efleet of discipline: but to Dumiger it
appeared a part of tne drama, and it added to his
eenaeof tear.

It was quite true Had Dumiger been a Sta'e
of the highest rank, he could not have been
received with more ceremony. The guard turned
out. aud the rail e of the muskets was heard as the
massive gates relied ponderously upon their axes.—

stormed and raved, and desired to know whether
this was the way in w inch free citizens were treat
ed is the free city of Dantiic. Tae lieutenant only
shrugged bis shoulders, gave orders to the soidiera
to withdraw, and Dumiger was left to his melancho

When the heart is oppressed with suffering and

ber from which we awake refreshed and etrenglu
cited it if? a leaden, sullen, sodden trance, from
whi L we” awake witu the aeusaiion that the whole
weight ot the atmosphere has been concentrated on
our brows. This was the case with Dumiger, the
dickering, dreary light of the lamp kept waving be
fore kia eyea ae he lay there, he feit Ike a man
wboee limbs have been paralyzed by some grevious
acciueut. At last be breathed heavily, and the load
of oppression fell from his eyelids. Such was the
sleep we have described.
When he awoke in the morning the light had
gone out; but a few pale, melancholy gleams of
morning, pierced th*= prison bars, which were ao far
above him that it wa* not possible for him to reach
them. He strove to remember where he was ; Lis
eyes fell on grotesquely painted figures which cov
ered the grafts, and which had escaped his observe,
tion on the preceding night. These were the handi;
craft of seine man. who had evidently endeavored
to while away bis time in prison by caricaturing his
persecutor?. and certainly he bad succeeded in the
attempt. Nothing more absurd than some of these
pictures could be imagined ; every possible deformi
ty wars ascribed to the originals, and tne sketches
were surrounded by pasquinades and quaint devi
ces. Here and there might, be found expressions of
deeper and more fearful import, if indeed anything
could be inure fearful than the contrast between
Ihe ridiculous and such a dungeon. “Aon omnu
mortar ’’ wrote one man in a yellow liquid, which
too evidently wa* discolored blood, ii Justem cl tena
rum recti virum” scrawled another, immediately
followed by a portrait of the “vuUvs nistantis ly
ranuiy who had, if we may judge by the chain bus
pended fro .x his neck, once been a famous grand
master. On one part of the wall might be deci
phered a whole scrawled with an oid
nail, in which the prisoner had arrived at such ex
cedeuce, that the fetters were like the most admira
ble type.
It was a long, and doubtless melancholy ta*e -, so
much so that the kind guardians of the place had
scratched it with th*ir knives to prevent its being
easily deciphered. In tact, that little cell had evi
dentfy contained an Iliad of romances; and if the
walls could have spoken, or even the scrawls been
deciphered, acme strange tales and perhaps many
mysterious events, would have come to light. Du
miger gazed on these sad lecords ot prior existences
with a melancholy interest; in vain he endeavored
to explain to himself the c use of hid being treated
with such unparalleled severity ; he could not recall 4
any crime such as might excuse his incarceration
in such an abominable place. He buried nia
in his hands. He thought of Marguerite and the
clock, and then, happily tor him, he wept; aa the
young alone can weep when they are in sorrow,
and when their sorrow is unselfirh.
He was roused by an unbolting of bars, the turn
ing of huge, unwieldy keys, and the lieutenant ot
the castle stood before him.
Dumiger was in that state of mind when what
ever of pride belongs to the consciousness of inno
cence loses its strength. Though there was little to
invite confidence in the outward demeanor of the
functionary, he ran towards him, seized him by
both hands, and exclaimed, “Have pity upon me,
sir, tell me why 1 am here.”
“Pooh, pooh,” replied the bronzed old Cerberus ;
“be a mail.”
“Bea man !” shrieked Dnmiger. “I am a man ;
and it is because 1 am a man, a free man of Dantzie,
tiat I appeal against this monstrous treatment. Be
a man! why, I appeal to you, sir, to be a man, and
to give up that situation, if it cau only be retained
by cruelty to others. I say again , be you a man,
and cease to torture me.”
The lieutenant continued looking at biin with the
most perfect indifference; he whistled a tune; took
the only two turns in the cell which its extent per
mitted ; and then, as if a sudden recollection had
struck him, he put two letters into Dumiger’s
hands.
“Come, you are not very ill-treated, young man,
when you are allowed to read.”
Dumiger felt a glow of delight thrill through his
frame. Everything is by com parifUftfeJUHl after the
paiu he had endured, the sight of two letters,
the one iu the handwriting of MjrffQTerite, the other
of Carl, made his heart leap wit, /y. They seem
ed to him to be the guarantee of immediate safety.
The lieutenant still remained near him. Dumi
ger would not open the letters in his presence. At
last, the officer, after some minutes delay, and hav
ing sung sundry snatches of martial airs, gave Du
mber a contemptuous, indignant glauce, and stalk
ed out of the ce l, taking care to rattle the bolts aud
bars as a punishment to Dumiger for not gratifying
his curiosity. Poor devil, it was his only amuse
ment. to pry into the prisoner’s secrets.
“How is the lad V s asked the second in command
when his commander appeared.
“Better than he will be when he knows the char
ge* for which he is shut up. At present he is un
der the impression it is only for debt; but when he
learns it ia for treason, he wili whimper and whine
even more than he haa been doing.”
“What, so young and a traitor!” exclaimed the
subaltern, who evidently the kinder spirit of
the two. “It ia almost incredible.”
“It may be,” continued the lieutenant. “I have
directions from the Grand Master and Council to
keep a strict watch over him. They aay that he ia
a most dangerous character; but I never trouble
myself much about these kind ot fellows—l do my
duty quiet ly. Meanwhile, I have given him letters
which won’t add to his happiness much when he
reads them, il'l am to believe what the inspector
told me, who of course read them aud sealed them
again.”
The moment the lieutenant had left the cell, Du
miger eagerly tore open Marguerite’s letter, with
out lemarking that it had been opened ere it reach
ed him. lie read it through with that rapidity of
glauce and mental discernment which fear aud love
combined cau alone give ; it was with a groan of
horror that, bo ullowod the letter to ihop Iluui Ilia
hands, for the full extent of the difficulties of his sit
uation now broke upon him. She told him that
the same evening, the moment, his arrest was
known in the neighborhood, bills had poured in
from all quarters, that she had seen bis friends
Carl and Krautz, who called early this morning,
and who found it impossible to obtain one-tenth of
the sum now required for his release ; all thejtcould
do, therefore, was to take charge of the wonderful
model aud carry it to the Court-House, where it
would have to remain luttil the decision of the coun
cil should be proclaimed. The second letter, which
was from Carl, was still more appalling, for he told
Dumiger how essential it was for him to make any
sacrifice in order to pul the whole machinery ir or
der, so that his work might appear to the judges in
the most favorable point of view. He undertook,
however, to engage the best machinist in Dantzie,
iu the event of Dumiger nut being able to obtain
his release before the appointed day.
What was to be done ? Dumiger felt himself
driven almost to frenzy. He thought of Margue
rite, of hi* clock, of hiß friends; he then began to
think that he had acted veiy foolishly in refusing
the offer of the Grand Master, who, he felt assured,
although tiie lieutenant would not admit it to him,
was the cause of all his misery. The more he re
flected on the past, ihe more desperate he became;
he rolled on the ground in agony; the whole day
passed iu efforts to reach the window, whence at
least he might perceive the situation of his house,
or to shake the bars of the strong iron door; toward
evening a soldier brought him some refreshment,
but preserved an obstinate silence. Dumiger allow
ed the refreshment to remain untasted on the
ground, he could not touch it. The evening grew
on apace, the merry chimes from the Dom of the
city came across the water; it struck him that they
had never chimed so musically before, or with so
much meaning. Another long, long night of agony
was to be patsed, and where and how was suspense
to eud /
Time swept on, but this night they biought him
no lamp, so that he had no of measuring its
progress, he could only judge how heavily the hours
rolled by the tramp ot the guards es t hey marched
over the arawb. idge to the several reliefs. At ten
o’clock he heat'd the bugles sounding the reti eat,
and then, when he himself his gentle
young bride, so sweet, so lovely—when he remem
bered how greatly he had neglected her for his am
bilious —he loathed himself for what he used to con
sider laudable, but now felt to have been mere sel
fishness.
It was still very early, for the grey cold streaks
ot morning had not pierced the prison when
Duiuiger was roused irom his uneasy slumber by •
liie rattling of the lock of his door. He looked Up
and saw with surprise a man who was not dressed
in uniform.
“Who are you? What do you want r* exclaim
ed Dumiger, for there is such a thing as intrusions
even in a prison.
The man whom he addressed only replied by ta
king possession of the single chair which stood by
tb*l>edside . he tlieu very quiet iy aud coolly took a
riudersbex from his pocket, struck a light in the
most deliberate manner, and lit the small lamp
w.iich had remained unreplenished from the preced
ing evening. Dumiger had then an opportunity of
examining his visitor.
He was a little, jusuiucal, sly, crafty, leering per
sou, with a quick, intelligent, practical eye—a man
who was evidently conv ersam with the world; and,
to judge from the sensual expression of his mqpth,
and the protuberance at the nape of the neck, whose
world was of the worst description—a phrenologist
or physiognomist would have hung him at once. It
is fortunate for some men that these sciences are
not more extensively understood, or a great many
persons would suffer for their natuial and cerebral
conformation.
“ You willsoou be free, my son.”
“ Free ? thank God! ’ exclaimed Dumiger, throw
ing himself back ou his pillow, and clasping his
hands in gratitude.
“ You are too quick, young m&D,” continued the
strauger. “ I said you would soon oe free, if—you
see there is an if. It is for you to remove it.'’
“It—if what l I will do anything you tell me,’
almost shrieked Dumiger, so terrified was he at the
possibility of h:s hopes dtsorting him.
“ Well,” continued the lilt e man, putting on his
spectacles and examing the roll of his papers, “ I
will commence by telhug you that I am a native of
Hamburg, and like yourself, a great mechanist. I
was sent tor by the council last evening to examine
all the models which have been received. I do not
aesitate to say to you that yours is by tar the best.
“God be prated. Marguerite, Marguerite!”
ejaculated Dumiger.
• Yes, quietly remarktd the mysterious visitor,
“ yours is by tar superior to all the rest, but it will
not win the prise.”
“ Not win the prize!” saio Dumiger; for now all
his ambition had returned to him.
“ CtftainlT not, was the reply, ‘‘you know as
well as 1 do that the machinery requires some dixec
ung power. No one knows how to apply it ; ho
one knows the secret.”
“ Yes. there is a secret, said the youth, his face
brightening even through the cold clammy prison
atmosphere.
“ Aud you cannot get out to tell it, or to arrange
•your own work, tor here I have a schedule of the
lodgments for debt which have been iodged against
you and he held out a list some twelve inches in
length. *
Dumiger groaned. “ And there are no means ot
paying this?” %
“ You can answer that question as well as myself,”
replied the man. “ I will tell you that there are
none tor the t, but there is one way in which
:ne dock may sti! 1 be the admiration of Dantaic,
and yourself free with a great iiiuependence in three
days.’’ . „ .. . /
* What way ? what way ? tail me qmoUy, cried’
Dumiger. gasping with anxiety.
“Be still, young man. be still, we have plenty of
time Let's proceed quietly,” said the stranger.
44 Well, well; but be quick,” continued
in anything but a quiet tone of voice.
“ I have told ydU,” said the man, quietly re-adi
iucting his spectacles, which l>umiger tad slightly
diturled by the violence with which he seized his
arm, “ I have tdd you that lam a native of Ha?a
oro', a.mechanician that I have seeu your clock,

“Again I inquire, what ia it ? said Dumiger I
Sell me your c’jck. I have come to purchase it j
on the part o: the tree city of Hamburgh,” was the
calm, deliberate reply.
*■tyeli my dock! echoed Dumiger.
“The city of Hamburgh,” continued the stranger,
( without appearing to remark Dumiger s exclama
tion. ‘ authorizes me to offer for the clock of best
workmanship the freedom of her walls, an income
of four thousand dollars, a place in the chief council
with due precedence, and many other minor ad
vantages. If yon accept these terms a large instai
ment of money wili be paid within three days—that
is. within the time for the return of post. You will
naturally inquire, Why the city of Hambro ehouid
make eo extravagant an offer f I will recall to you
the extreme jealousy which has always existed be
tween these tw o great comioereial cities. You
will remember that this rivalry is unceasing—that it
comprehends all things, the smallest as well aa the
greatest. They attempted to vie with each other
iii the construction of their doms ; Dantzie gained
the advantage. The fame and the prize given for
excellence in these clock*, and of the unrivalled
weskmaa -hip which may be expected, Las spend
throughout Germany. The inhabitants of Hambro’
are inferior in science. They wish to obtain a piece
of Workmanship which shall be unrivalled in the
easiest manner, and I was sent here to negotiate
the purchase Well I was selected by the council
here as one of the judges. It is an act of treachery
—granted : that cannot affect you. All that there
is for you to decide on are the terms I have offered
you.” .
“Oh Marguerite! ’ exclaimed Dumiger, “if you
were here what would you counsel ?”
“What could she counsel,” said the stranger,
“except to accept this offer ? Remember, if you
refuse it, you remain here for days, if not weeks.
You cannot hope to obtain the preference unless
you are enabled to inform any one of the secret of
setting the wrka in motion, and then it would re
quire a hand as steady and experienced a a my own
to carry out your directions: and I should not un
dertake to do it except on the condition which I
have named.’
“Show me tne conditions drawn out,” said Du
miger.
The man rolled out slowly one of the long strips
of parenment which he Held in his hand ; he gave it
10 Dumiger, who drew the lamp uear him, and for a
few minute-i revelled in the ideas ot freedom and
wealth. He had but to say the word, and he enjoy
ed ail that he had been laboring for through life;
but tiien, at what price ? at that which pained him
to contemplate—the citizenship of his native town,
where his family had dwelt respected for centurise
No doubt he whs selling his birthright ; he was part
ing with aii that a man should cling to in adversity
fi in prosperity,—that, which is not to be purchased
with gold—all his old lie*, his affections, his faith,
once signed, the deed was irrevocable; and yet if
he did not sign, what had he to Lope for?
lie leaned his head on his hands, in one of those
st-rn struggle* which age a man in a few minutes,
as breadths of fr.'Rt wither the freshet leaves. He
invoked the Spirit ot Love—he c alled forth Margue
ri e, ai iebe stood be ids him. He saw her with
her cheek paler than when he had parted from her;
lie saw ner bosom heaving with sighs instead 01
love : he heard her soft whisper in his ear, and he
thought tiiat whimper expreseed assent—that for him
ig to relinquish tbe home and Ike
friends of her childhood. Ay, is it not ever so? In
voke whom we may in hours of 1 rial, does not the
oracle take its tone from our own wishes ? Fond
and futile pretence to invoke the Spirit of Love to
decide where Love is interested! As Marguerite
seemed to stand beside Dumiger he lost sight of
ambition, and all its pomp and circumstances ; all lie
asked was to be free.
“ Give me the paper,” he said, in a firm voice :
‘th6 clock is yours ; and the principle of the move
ment is to be found engraved on a small plate un
de- the mainspring.”
If he had seen the smile of triumph which passed
over that man’s countenance he would have hesi
tated.
The deed was done; the man put his materials
and his paper into his pocket again.
“Now,” he said, rising to go, “the third day’s post
will find you free ; and take my advice, leave Dant
zic soon. The people will be irritated at being de
prived of their masterpiece. I would not have you.
trust to their tender mercies for that matter, it is
well for you that you are safe in prison. Remem
ber this advice, for I know the Dantzickers as well
as you do.”
“Stay, stay one moment,” cried Dumiger, as the
stranger was about to leave the cell, “who told you
so much about me ? flow did you obtain this list
of debts ? How came you to hear of Marguerite,
and Carl, and Krantz ? Surely,” and he passed his
hands across his brow like a man who is pained by
the intensity of a ray of light after haviug been
long in darkness, “tell mo before you go, what does
iliiij mean ?” And he caught a firm hold of the
man's cloak.
“There is no reason why I should not tell you the
truth now,” said he, buttoning his coat tightly over
the papers. “I was sent for by the Grand Master,
who engaged me to obtain the sale of your clock at
auy price. And he gave me good inducements to
undertake the job.”
The whole scheme broke on Dumiger’s mind.
“And with what object ? ’ he gasped forth ; “tell
me that.”
“To get rid of your competition,” said the man,
quietly. “After yours there is no doubt that his
sou’s is the best; aud therefore, when yours is sold
to Hambro’, his will be prized in Dantzie. As for
me, I shall get rewarded for my exertions, both by
the Grand Master, your noble count, and my own
city. Here is the truth of the matter,” said he ;
“now let me go.”
“Let you go, miscreant! ’exclaimed Dumiger,
“never, until you return me that paper. Let you
go! I will follow you to death rather. You be
trayed me into this act; it was not my own free will
I am the victim of the basest conspiracy. I have
been induced to sell my birth-right—l prefer to re
main in prison—] love iny townspeople—l will not be
free ou these conditions ! Give me back my bond !”
“Never!” said the man, putting himself into an
attitude of defence.
And he did wisely, for there was desperation in
Dumiger’s eye. He waited a moment, and then
with a maniac strength he flew at the man, but he
foun t a powerful and vigorous antagonist. The
stranger, who had appeared half decrepit and aged,
rose up in all the strength of youth. Iu a moment
he had grasped Dumiger’s arms, v ry cooly taken
out a haukerohief, ana in spite of all Dumiger’s ef
forts bound his hands together. After he had per
formed this operation he dre v the document again
from his pocket, so as to be well assured that it was
correctly signed, and smiled as lie said to Dumiger,—
“You know that signature 7”
“ Scoundrel! miscreant!” were the only words to
which Dumiger could give utterance.
“ And now, fellow-citizen,” said the man, “ I bid
you farewell. Keep your temper; these sober arts
should have taught you this kind of self-command.
You w ill Boon be free. Aa fY/i your aims I Ooie not
untie them now, but I will send the guard to you.
Now, holloa, guard without there?” Aud he left
the cell.
What did all this mean ! A mystery seemed to
be encircling Dumiger which he could not pene
trate, He knew there was danger near him, but
was unable to define its extent. Only one thing
was now certain—he had sold that clock on which
years of toil had been bestowed, and not iu vain,
lie had but a few days since contemplated certain
success, how far it was from him! And Ham
burgh—to be great and ennobled the e, what did
that signify to him*? How long would it not take
tor him, the inhabitant of the great rival city, to be
admitted into the new society ? No, lie had made
an error whi h could never be recalled; he had
broken the ties which were once so dear to him.
Dunmigei now* learned the great truth, that it ia
only the opinion of the few with whom we are most
intimate that we care for ; it is nothing to be great
amongst those with whom we have 110 sympathies,
no affect ions iu common : the kind word from one
lip which wo love is far more to be prized than the
loudest ac clamations ot thousands to whom we are
indifferent.
CHAPTER V.
The day at last arrived for Ihe triennial exhibi
tion of the productio; sos Dantzie art, on which
day the council had agreed that the prize for the
clock was to be adjudged. Jt was a great fete for
the town. At an eajly hour of the morning the in
habitant* began to decorate their houses with tapes
try, aud to hang garlands over the door poets. All
classes prepaied their dresses of brightest colors,
and their gayest, happiest smiles. Aud none was
happier than Marguerite, for Dumiger had written
to tell her that ou the next day he was certaiA to be
free; but he had not ventured to inform her that the
clock was sold to Hamburgh. Still, although the
deed of sale was irrevocable, his feelings wou'd not
permit him to believe that, the excellence of his
work would remain unknown to his townspeople, he
felt convinced that the stranger’* vanity would in
duce him to make use of Hie secret; which had been
confided to him, so be wrote Marguerite that all
would go right. Carl and Krantz arrived early in
the morning C* accompany her to the great hall.
•She had within her a secret which she would not
have disclosed to the universe—the secret of her
husband’s success, of his fame and future happiness.
So far Dumiger had informed her that there was an
intrigue against him, in which the grand Master
was the principal; lie explained to her that the ob
ject the Grand Master had in view waste obtain the
prize and its accompanying honors for hie own son.
* Carl and Krantz undertook to protect ner through
the crowd, aud it was with an abundant feeling ot
confidence that she dressed for the ceremonial.
She wore her hair braided round her head; a bo
dice, which showed the beauty and shape of her
form, of scarlet doth, attached by threads of gold
across the shirt, which was of the softest and most
delicate material; the short blue petticoat, which
reached some way below the knee, but did not de
scend so far as to conceal the ankle, the symmetry
of which was well defined by the silk stocking. The
shoe might have sirred the envy of any griseUe in
Paris—a class which was, even in those days, sup
posed to enjoy a monopoly ot taste and refinement.
There was a modesty combined with refinement and
strength of character iu the appearance of Margue
rite which would have distinguished her in any
crowd. She was a beiug for love and sunshine, but
one who, at the same time, would have dared much
for him she loved. The kind and generous are ever
galiant, and rarely are the beautiful unworthy.
Carl aud Krauts were alao dressed out in their
gayest costumes. It would have been hard to have
decided w’hieh was the predominant color in the
dresses of these two worthy citizens; they would
have rivalled any tulip bed in a Dutch garden, aud
perfectly dazzled Marguerite when they entered
the room.
At length the last touch was given to the toilette,
and they sallied forth. Already the streets were so
crowded that it was difficult to move through them;
but Carl aud K r &ntz were determined, energetic
fellows, and what with their elbows and Margue
rite’s bright smiieo, after incurring a few risks of
.-OHIB jokes on Carl's extravagant appearance, they
reached the great hall.
The street in front of tne Court house was lined
with the burgher guard, stationed there to keep
back the crowd; but Marguerite had an order for
admittance at a private entrance, so escorted by
her cavaliers, she ascended the staircase.
When she entered the hall she was struck with
awe and astonishment. The whole of that enor
mous space, wiih the exception of'the portion rail
ed off for the competitors and the dais*where the
council were sitting, was crowded by a dense mass
ot people; aiong the sides of the vast edifice, and
up to the very roof, were arranged all the various
productions of national art. Nothing can be pic
tured more beautiful than the combination of rich
and varied colors, or more curious than the forms
which art and genius bad given them; here were
dyes which might have rivalled those of Tyre, and
fabric* of finer texture than a Penelope could have
woven. At one end. towards which Marguerite's
eyes were most anxiously turned, the mocels of the
clocks were arranged. Dumiger's was placed in the
centre, for it was at the same time the largest mo
del. and contained the most elaborate and compli
cated machinery ; but, alas! the works remained 1
still, while ail the others were in motion, and showed
m y* e 6m alieet space the movements of the heavly
Jx>dxe>. and the progress of time. If Dumiger’s
mefint anything more than a confused mass of ma
chinery. it con’d not for a moment be doubted that
it was the work of highest genias exhibited, but in
its quiescent state it contrasted disadvant&geously
with the admiral systems revolving round it. M&r
zut'iile heid er breath while she gazed ; neither
*iid she perceive how much attention she herself
aw *.keued—toe moment for vanity had passed, her
nn-eut interest lay far deeper. Immediately aoove
her the tirand Couac;! with the Grand Master,
were s tieg, dreeseu iu their robes of state. The
Count Albrtc wore his cordon of the Fleece, and
looked every inch a grand master; the anxiety tor
his sk n s success was apparent in the nervous glance*
which he cast around him. Behind, and amid the
retainers, stood the dark, designing-looking stranger,
who he’d in his hand the fate of Dumiger.
The heralds proclaimed silence, and then the
Grand Master row© to read the decision of the Coun
cil. It commenced with irciti# the list of the com-
I petitets. end when it mentioned Dumiger's name,
| u sa;d, 1 the work is imperfect, and therefore must
, be withdrawn.”
• i’ not imperfect.” cried two stentorian voices
! from tne farther end of the hall,
f The voices proceeded from Can and Krantz,
,wi exeiiemen* con’d no longer be retained.
** No fit is not imperfoct, said the gentler voice
i c:* Marguerite. ....
Ail eyes were turned towards the -pot whence tiat
I voice proceeded. Marguerite nearly fainted to find
herseli the object of so much attention,
i Keep vour courage,” whispered Carl Tell
I them that’Dumiger v ill soon be free, and the works
| put in m. tion. 1 will tell them for you,*’ oe ex
j claimed, and he began to speak, when the mysteri
ous stranger stepped forth.
“ Stay,” he said, “ let me touch the works of this
clock—the secret is mine.”
He forced his way through the crowd, looked
carefully over the machinery, opened a secret
spring, a>Tanged two small wheels, on which the ac
curate movement of the whole machinery depend
ed, and immediately it was all in motion.
The proceeding was watched with intense inte
rest by all The stranger’s eyes gleamed with de
light, for he was anxious, with the true spirit of
Hamburg jealousy, that the people es Dantzie
shouid feel the value of what toey were about to
aoee.
It was indeed a marvellous piece of workman
ship , the planets all revolved m their regular order,
figures of exquisite workmanship appeared and dis
appeared to mark the seconds, ana the dial plate
was of elaborate beauty. The people for some time
stood entranced in wonder> At last they exclaim
ed, as with one voice—
“ltis a work worthy of Dantzie, and Duruiger
has won! Dumiger forever !”
If Marguerite had nearly fainted from fear, ehe
was now pale from delight.
“ Dumiger, Dumiger, forever again Bhouted the
drowd ; “ where is the laurel ? where is the triumph?
Greatest amongst his citizens, Dumiger ha* won.”
But at that moment the stranger came forward
with a paper in his hand. The Count's face, which
had been overspread with anger and shame at these
shouts, was again lit up with hope, for after Dumi
ger his son's was evidently the best.
“You mistake, my friends,” said this man , “Du
miger is not a citizen of Dantzie, but of Hamburg,
and the clock belongs to that noblest of free cities.”
“Madman! fool P’ burst from the astonished
crowd ; “we all know Dumiger, his family are emi
nent in the list of freemen—you are mad! Grand
Master, proclaim that Dumiger has won the prize,
that Dumiger is great.”
Joy thrilled through Marguerite's frame.
The Grand Master rose, and his voice trembled
with anxiety and secret pleasure as he spoke.
“It is ioo true,” he said, “the clock is sold to
Hamburg, aod Dumiger has lost his rights of citi
zenship here by becoming a free man of that town,
ihe prize, therefore, in accordance with the deci
sion of the council, is adjudged to the second—to my
son.”
Then the anger of the people rose, wild and sav
age ; in one moment, like the bursting of a thunder
cloud, the whole aspect of the place had changed.
“Show us the deed,” they exclaimed.
The straDger took it and held it up. There was
no mistaking it; it was headed by the arms of
Hamburg, and signed by Dumiger. The storm of
indignation had subsided for a moment, but only as
it seemed to gain addition strength.
“Tear him in pieces—he shall not have the clock.
Down with Dumiger—crucify the man who could,
prefer the freedom of Hamburg to the honors of
Dantzie Down with him.”
And the people tore up the benches, drove back
tbe burgher guard, some of the boldest dashed on
the platform, the Grand Council had to escape, car
rying the stranger with them. The mob tore out of
tbe hall, and told their friends outside—anger led to
anger, the passion rose like the waves at the equi
nox. Nothing could stop the mob, from so appa
rently trifling a cause a tumult was created, the
jealousy, smothered and subdued for'so many years
burst forth iu this madness.
Poor Marguerite had fainted. Carl and Krantz,
by herculean exertions dragged her through the
mob, she was taken to a small room over the great
hall, and laid there until the storm should be ap
peased.
It did not seem likely to be so. Unfortunately,
•me of the guards had iu the tumult struck a burgh
er ; in some of the smaller streets they were ever
now lighting, but the crowd in the great square
■'eemeu to have a firmer purpose, there was a grad
ual calm. At last one man climbed up the statue iu
the centre of the square
“Where is Dumiger f” he asked.
And another voice answered, “He is in the debt
or s prison.
“We will go and lead him to his triumph,” was
the dark and threatening reply of the people, who
now moved forward in colums.
CHAPTFR VI.
The two days which elapsed since the interview
with the stranger had been passed by Dumiger in
great misery. He blamed himself deeply for having
been so easily entrapped into what he feared would
prove a snare, and very foolishly, as we have seen,
he wrote to Marguerite that she bad everything to
iiope, as he still retained the desire of being honored
by his fellow-townsmen, although they were not to
en joy the fruit of his labors.
On tbe eventful morning which has been describ
ed Dumiger arose full of hope, his triumph was to
be secured ; and in the evening he even entertain
ed a secret impression and belief that the people
would not permit the clock to be removed, aud that
the error he had made might be relieved by their
energetic wills He heard the bands of music play
ing in the distance. The merry chimes floated
over the water, aud bade him good speed. He
thought that he could even discern the buzz of en
joyment and the shout of anticipated triumph. He
took out the last letter which Marguerite had writ
ten to him, aud pressed it to his heart; that day, lie
thought, was to see them united never to be parted
again.
What sound was that ? Was it the wind? No,
the murmur of many voices, the tramp of a thou
sand feet, shook the drawbridge. He heard his own
name called out. Yes, it is! it surely cannot be an
error ;it is Dumiger they are invoking. Now there
can be no mistake, the crowd unite in one loud
cry—
“ Where is Dumiger?”
“I am here, lam here,” he shrieks out; “open
the gates.”
What could it mean ? the guards were resisting.
There is a shot fired—is this the way in which a tri
umph ia conducted ? There is a pause—a parley.
“We want the man Dumiger, the prisoner,” ex
claimed one.
“Good, you shall have him. Let but a few enter,”
says the lieutenant of the tower, “and the guard
shall withdraw.”
Immediately there is a loud rush on the stair, not
the tramp, tramp, of regular troops.
“Here, here!” exclaims Dumiger; “here ami,
my friends ! Welcome, welcome !” and he rushes
to embrace the first who euters.
“ Back, traitor!” answers the man.
Dumiger tumbles against the wall in terror and
astonishment.
“ Yes you are the traitor,” continued lie who acted
the part of leader of the inotely crowd; you have
sold your birthright- you have betrayed our in
terest. What punishment is fit for such a usurer ?”
“ Down, down, with him,” cried the mob.
The leaders consulted together for one moment.
“ My good people,” exclaimed the same man, “we
have taken counsel, and you shall have redress.
We will not take this man's life. This is what we
decide—we will keep the clock to the glory of our
town, but he shall never see it, neither shall he have
it any more in his power to make another equal to
it or better, for we will put out his eyes.”
“ Yes, yes,” vociferated the mob, “ it is excellent.
Put out his eves at once.
Before Dumiger could collect his scattered senses
two strong, stalwart men had seized him. Iu spite
of his shrieks and entreaties they threw him down
on the straw ; one more savage than the rest drew
forth a small knife—agony on agony! horror on hor
ror ! in one moment to the living man there was
Cimmerian darkness. The deed was done, and
they who had done it looked on with horror and
fear at their own crime. There were no shrieks to
b eak the fearful silence ; a few inarticulate sobs of
heart wrung from his misery were all that was heard,
and the mob withdrew silent and repentant.
Carl had followed at a distance. He had made
frantic, but ineffectual efforts to enter the cell;
when the crowd dispersed he went up the stairs
without impediment, and there he found his friend
extended. He raised him, he bore him home with
those sightless, bleeding orbs. He comes, Margue
rite ; hasten forth to meet your husband, let the
light of your love bless him, for the light of Heaven
has departed for ever.
CONCLUSION.
There is great excitement in Dantzie, for the no
table clock, which lias been for ten years the marvel
of Germany—the clock which was made by cun
ningest artificers who followed Dumiger’s model—
has stopped. No one can arrange it; the model
was broken up as a jealous precaution. There is
but one who understand* it—who can regulate the
wondrous movement; that is he who constructed it.
Yes, the council will go to Dumiger. They seek
his house ; they repent of the fearful crime they
commi ted.
“ Dumiger, come forth !” they exclaim. “For
give us our offence. Greatest of citizens, all honors
and rewards shall be heaped upon you. Regulate
this great work, prized above all others in this city,
for which we contended for five years with Ham
burgh. Stand forth in glory and honor!”
And a man young in years, but decrepit and suf
fering, appears, supported by two friend*. The
partner of his hopes and tears is long since dead.
The streets ring with applause a* he appeals, and
many kneel to kies his hand—ay, some his feet; but
all he asks is to be led first to Marguerite’s grave.
There, in the presence of thousands he prays for
strength, and then be desires them to conduct him
to the clock.
When be appeal's outside the air is rent with
shouts. “ Dumiger ! Dumiger ! the tirst of the
citizens!” Oh, popular feeling !at once base and
baseless.
He eeeirtS to see tbe works
and touches every part of the wonderful construc
tion ; his hand has found the secret of the move
ment ; again it i9 iu order, and the pride of Dantzie
is saved.
He stands still for some minutes. A god could
not have been more worshipped or a prophet looked
grander. Again his hand is on tbe movement—
crash, crash, —the slight spring on which the whole
machinery depended is rent asunder by his own
hand ; the clock falls to pieces, never to be repaired.
At the same moment there is a fall, a fearful groan,
and Dumiger lies on the pavement a bleeding
corpse. Tbe clock and its maker have ceased to
exist.
Such is tbe legend, aud from that day there has
been no clock in the Dom of Dantzie.

SAVANNAH, May 36.— Cotton —The prospect of the
coming crop cominc.es to improve—from every quarter
vre ore receiving th e most cheei ing accounts. There are
still a number of accidents that may befall the plant and
cut the crop short—-but the foundation for a large crop,
which is a good aland, has been successfully laid, and,
witn reasonable fm k asons. the crop of Georgia, South Caro
lina and Alabama, will be very large. The Mississippi
and Louisiana crop will doubtless be curtailed to some
extent by the overflows, and from the high latitude of
Tennessee, it ia probable that the cold weather had a
worse effect on the plant than in the more Southern
States. Notwithstanding there are some drawbacks, of
which the overflow is the most serious, the present an
ticipations ot a large crop are unusually flattering. The
follow ng are the newspaper extracts.
Alabama.—The growth of Cotton has been checked
by the recent cool nights, yet the stand is generally good
and the plant lookb healthy. In the prairie lands there
was something that would astonish u$ —Com from shoul
der to head high, and Cotton from half leg to knee high.
Georgia.—We took a circuit, yesterday, of some six
teen mile* through a large belt of oak and hickory laud,
and our eyes never rested on a scene so full of hope and
cheer to the planter. We cannot see how the crops
could be better. They are large, green and thrifty, and
the admirable culture unequalled by anything we have
ever seen at this season of the year.
Mississippi. —The frost has not materially injured the
Cotton. We saw several large planters who told us that
they had good stands.
Louisiana.—While ruling through some portions of
our parish, we had occasion to notice the crops, and we
do not hesitate to say that we never have seen the pro&-
spects more cheering for a tremendous crop. The recent
rains, together with the late warm days, have tended
greatly to improve the growing crops, aud thej>roapect>
are decidedly more encouraging. The late frosts did
not do much injury a<s was at first anticipated.
Arkansas.—The high water of this season has con
clusively proved that the banks of the Arkansas can be
leveed so as to afford ample protection from overflow to
the plantatioas along its banks, for the only damage
done by high water this season has been within fifty
miles of Napoleon, and that was caused by the levee ca
ving in. Com crops look well, and the stands of Cotton
are generally good Arkansas county, from present ap
pearances, will send to market more Cotton this season
than any previous one.
Texas. —Crops only so so; 6ome of the planters com
plain and say they have been seriously damaged by the
late floods or rain, while others occupying a more ele
vated position are inclined to boast.
Our market has been quite dull during the week un
der review with the exception of Monday and Tuesday,
when a fair business was done. Our circular closes up
on a stagnant market, at the following quotations :
Middling 11J6>11J
Strict Middling 12 3> —
Good Middling 121
Middling Fair I£J£S> —

Freights —Cotton to Liverpool 516; to New York, by

Exchange —There is a moderate business doing in
Northern time bills at interest off. Sight is abnudaut,
and in but little demand at ! disc, to par outside. The
banks are asking 1 per cent, premium, but the low rates
outside prevent their doing much business. Sterling we
quote at 84.
CHARLESTON, May 28. — Colton —The demand for
good Cottons continued to a lair extent during the early
part of the present week, and as the stock of these quali
ties had been considerably reduced, holders exhibited a
greater degree of firmness aud stringency, so that on
Friday and Saturday they were enabled to realize an
improvement of ic. Since then, however, the market
has been quiet, and daring the past day or two, exceed
ingly dull and depressed, the better qualities having lost
all the improvement earlier in the week, while the low
er grades have been more neglected than ever. The re
ceipts during the week foot up 5510 hales, and the sales
6466 bales.
Rice —This article has experienced no material change
and we therefore continue to report a very inactive aud
depressed market, at prices ranging from $3 to $32, the
bulk at $3 1-16S'$3 3 16 hundred.
Bacon —There is a full supply of this article upon the
market. The demand being limited, prices have further
receded. Sales of 175 bhds of Sides and .Shoulders were
made at 10 cents for the former, and 74 for the latter;
and on yesterday sales of several small lots of Sides
were made somewhat below these rates.
Lard —The article remains dull, but holders are firm
in their asking prices. Small parcels are sold at \\{ r wVd
cents per bbl., tierces and kegs.
Flour —The market continues dull, with but little de
mand, and owing to an accumulated stock, prices have
.somewhat receded. Sales have been made for home
consumption at from $1.50 to $5 for Superfine, in bbls.,
and $2.25 to $2.50 in sacks.
Salt —This article is not much in demand. Two car
goes arrived this week from Liverpool amounting to
about 77t0 sacks, which remains afloat Sales of several
small parcels of previous arrivals have been made at 60
cents.
Groceries —The leading articles under this head, viz:
Sugar, Molasses, and Coffee, continues to be neglected,
and much depressed. A cargo of Molasses from Carde
nas, consisting of 217 hhds. and 29 tierces, arrived this
week, of which 130 hhds. was sold on landing at 23c.,
and also the 29 tierces at prices not made public. We
have not beard of auy sales in Louisiana Molasses; hold
ers are asking 40 to 4 Jc. In Sugars, a cargo of 169 hhds.

Exchanges —We have no change to notice in Sterling.
Freights —To all points continue very dull at unchang
ed rates. To Liverpool 5-16d. for square bales, and 4d.
for Sea Islands. To Havre, the nominal asking rate is
|c. for square bales. The steamers to New York have
slightly reduced the rate for Oottou, which we now quote
at ic. by steamers and sailing packets.
CHATTANOOGA, May 27.— Cotton— We have never
known the time when there was a greater amount of Ba
con in store in this market than at the present time.—
Prices raDge from 7£ to 81 cents, rather low to suit hold
ers. Os Wheat there is a supply equal to demand.
MONTGOMERY, May 25 — Cotton —Our market made
no improvement ou the accounts per City of Washiug
ton, and only one or two small lots changed hands yes
terday. We quote nominally, Middlings 11, Good Mid

LIVERPOOL, May 12.— Cotton —The news by the
Africa imparted a buoyant tone to the market, and in
some cases a partial advance of id. upon the quotations
advised per Niagara, is reported. Other authorities say
that the depression observable on the day the Niagara
sailed was only recovered, and that Friday’s quotations
are firmly maintained. The sales of the three days foot
up 30,000 bales, including about 8000 to speculators and
3000 to exporters.
In Manchester a fair business is doing, and prices are
firmly supported. Spinners demand an advance, which
buyers will not concede.
Provisions— Beef very dull at previous rates. Pork
sells at full prices in retail; none in first hands. Paeon
firm but quiet. Lard inactive; choice 57s ; little en
quiry for other kinds. Tallow firm but without much
doing.— Richardson , Spence V Cos.
LIVERPOOL, May 11.—With fine seasonable weath
er, the Grain trade generally throughout the ©pantry
has ruled dull; and at Mark Lane yesterday. Wheat
was a slow sale at a reduction of Is. per quarter. To
day's market here was also a slaw one. Tb attendance
of buyers was not large, and Wheat met * very limited
sale at about the prices of Friday. FMtir is still neg
lected, but nominally unchanged in price. Indian Corn
—Prime White held for 365. per quarter, which buyers
are unwilling to pay ; Yellow i* moderate enquiry at
345. 9d. to 355. per quarter. W® quote Wheat—Red, 6s.

Philadelphia and Baltimore 22s to 225. 6d.; extra Ohio,

Cotton— The market on Saturday opened very flat,
and prices were generally l-16d. to id. per It), lower than
on Friday. On Monday morning, however, some specu
late demand showed itself, and the decline was recov
ered ; sales reaching 15,000 bales, of which only 7,C00
bales were to the trade. As the day advanced, the de
maud became less active, and to-day there is more Cot
ton offering; still prices close firm at tbo quotations of
Friday. In Manchester there is a healthy trade doing,
without excitement.

from experience to possess restorative and healding vir
tues equalled by no oiher mixture or compound yet dis

Sores or Erupt ions oi the Skin. Ulcerated B<>re- on the

We claim no magic for the workings of tins great

duced itbas superceded DeGrath'a and all other reme*
