His dreams w ere feverish that tight, and he awoke unrefreshed. before 11i■■ usual time. Early as it was, however, Antonio the fisher man was waiting in the gr at hall. He had come, he said, to inform the Count that he and Graziala were about o pav a visit to a near relative for a few da; s, but that they sh< uid not remain longer away from their home. The Count w;;s surprised at this in telligence, as Graziala had not given him any intimation that her fa!her or herself intend ed to undert ike a journey so suddenly. However, there appeared to lie no help for it; and he only regretted that he should not have an opportunity of bidding his betrothed good-by before she set out to make her visit, inasmuch as he had very important business to transact before he should l>? able to leave the castle, with a messenger who bad, he was informed, just arrived in relation to it. Of this latter he apprised Antonio, who seemed quite aware of how the case stood between his daughter ami the noble; but who made no allusion to it now, save what might be in ferred from the simple assurance of her speedv return to the cabin. No sooner had the fisherman left the castle than the count repaired to his chamber once more and before summoning the messenger to his pre-ence seated himself at a window that looked out upon the distant hut which now so strangely held all that wa3 most dear to him and who, notwithstanding her humble and anomalous position, h<; well knew deserved all the love and affection he could bestow upon her. Of her education and re finement he had become assured, as well as of the nobility of hersoul. although surprised at the reluctance with which she entered into any conversation with him in relation to her father. Her sudden and unaccountable emo tion on the previous evening perplexed him much, as did the matter of her showing him the ring; but these were matters which would doubtless be cleared an in due time, so he must now console himself with the conviction tbnt he possessed the deep and undivided love of the fair girl from whom he was to be sep arated for a short period only, as he was fully convinced.

The poor girl was evidently weeping for her head was bow r ed and her hands were raised to her face, in an instant he was at tired and out on the steps of the castle, but just as he gained the path leading to the hut the boat was shoved off and both father ar d daughter were soon speeding away before the wind, and were quickly shut out from his view bv the bold promontory that lay be tween him and the fishing ground. In an agony of despair he continued his w T ay until he reached the cabin from which he had often assured Graziala he should remove her and her father to more suitable quarters, tut here hq found the door securely locked. He now strode down ‘to the beach, without any definite purpose and while gazing on the strand from w hich his beloved bad just de parted, be perceived a small s‘rip of parch ment wound about a shell t-hat lay at his feet. To seize and unfold it was but the work of a moment. It bore some charactes hastily written, but which he at once perceived had reference to himself, for bis name and that of Graziala were clearly' discernible, together with an in junction to him to flv from the castle at once. More bewildered than ever Pg, retraced his steps, determined to have a full and frank explanation from Graziala of all this mystery on her return and to inauce her to become his wdfe without delay, so that she should no longer be under the control of a parent who appeared to be so cruel to her. On arriving at the castle he found the mes senger anxiously awaiting his return, and ascending with him to the apartment already mentioned he learned that the conspirators would be at the cave on the night, of the tenth day succeeding the one at which we have now arrived. This intelligence was no more than he anticipated, but so distressed was he with the eveuts of the morning^ that the sudden and singular departure of Grazi- e!a was uppermost in h s mind. However, eoon the gigantic importance of the vast stake now to be forever lost .or won he sought to forget bis present griefs in active prepar ations for (he coming midnight meeting in the cave; for some of the conspirators who lived at a distance bad to be seen by him as none of them save the messenger that had just arrived ever approached the castle. fTO BE CONTINUED.] Mezzotinto owed its invention to the simple accident of the gun-barrel of a sentry becoming rusted with dew. Pins were first used in England in the reign of Henrv VIII, previous to which time the ladies used wooden skewers. Tne potato, cultivated in Chili at near ly l.-pooo feet above the level of the sea, pro duces the same flower as it does in Siberia. The white cedar log, in perfect state of preservation, was found at a depth of thirty- nine feet by a well digger at Delavan, 111., a few days since. A horse which is bald-headed all over, so to speak, has lately been interesting the citizens of Cincinnati. The beast has no mane, and his tail consists only of a hairless stump, and even inside the ears no hair can be found. The Russian Government commis sioned, two years ago, two musicians to travel through the villages of Siberia, and make a collection of national melodies. Out of the large number collected thirty are en tirely novel to European ears. The longevity of some animals is remarka ble. Camels live in certain instances to the age of loo years, and Cuvier asserts that whales live to be iOOO years old.

He would fre quently say to her, “You a r e attending too closely to business: you need a little outdoor exercise and you must take a drive with me. Now be ready by the time I come with my landau.” She would occasionally ride with him, but :io word of suspicion ” was ever breathed against her. Ail knew the misery and woe she had undergone, ami they took pleasure in cheering and aiding her to forget the fear ful past. Her friends hoped she would mar ry the kind, good gentleman who had shown so much respect for her. Marriage with him had never entered Mary’s mind. She had regarded his attentions as being promp ted by a kindly nature sympathizing with her on account of the troubles she had passed through. Rest, with good, nutritious food, had great ly benefitted Mary’s health. Her face had lo-t the pallid look of fear; her cheeks had a slight roseate tinge, her glossy faair was still glossy, and her dark blue eyes with their long dark lashes were still bright, and with that sud, subdued expression she interested all who met her. Her form and size were fault less. Always dressed in deep black that suit ed best her melancholy thoughts, she was one with whom no person could long be wi b without loving. The gentleman who rescued her from the ruffians would frequently call and take her to his house, especially if his w ife or children were sick. Her name be came a household word with them. The poor and distressed generally always found a true friend in Mory. If she saw a little street- arab, she would find a place for it where its condition was bettered, saying the while, “May o; hers do likewise for my poor little lost one.” She never gave up the hope of again seeing her child. One evening she was out walking on a retired street and came face to face with the most hideous-looking old hag that she had ever seen, who asked her if she did not want her fortune told. The creature looked so repulsive that Mary’s first impulse was to run, but overcoming it she said, “Yes, I believe I do. And now I remem ber,” she added, “an old gentleman told me of you.” “Told ycuen uv me! Who the devil has been er mixin’ up my name in any way ?” “He didn’t mean any harm, or say any thing against you. But will you tell me my fortune? I want you to tell me in regard to what ” “Now, white woman, stop right thar. That is the wav they do—always go and tell thar life before they git it from me; so, worn an, don’t tell me nothin’,—let me do the telling, and if I don’t tell it mighty corr-cfc, you may chip off my old head; for many has gone to a better home than Jj have got apd lived in. I have exhausted the world at large.” Mary did not underssand that foolish sen tence, but listened on as the old woman con tinued: “Woe has it been ter me that I ever left my native country ai.d roamed round with another; but I am strong now ana all ye powerless around me, and I have never let youens know what my business is. I sit un der my own fig tree and chaw my own ter- baccer and never swaller any ambier. Now woman, put yer foot on this pack of kerds, make yer wish—do it quick but say nothing. Thar, that’s enough. Here—yes, here, this kerd shows disappiutment. Yes, and look at that man—yes, a man and a child too! You may be married and you may not; that I don’t know. Here—seven for luck. Oh, ye air proud, sure; love high associates—’um. Here is disappintments—great less; but ye’ll have much, much success yit.” Mary was too much frightened to say any thing to the old hag, but she paid her and hurried off to her own room. She thought if witches were burnt in these days the old creature she had just left would surely go to the faggot and flame. Troubles make some people superstitious. Mary caught at dreams and omens. Sho now had a fresh hope although coming from such a repugnant source. She had written to every postmaster she could think of, but no information had she gained. This was the first day she had 1 een encouraged in the hope of again seeing her child. The day after see ing the old women a letter was handed her. She quickly opened it, ai d read as fellows: “Dear Madam—Your letter received, and I would have answered earlier, but I have been making enquiries for the man and child you described. I have ascertained that about a year ago a man came through here by the name of Peacock, and hire d a woman who kept a very low house to take charge of a child, and I understand she h s it still. I will be glad to render you any assistance in my power. Yours very respectfully, Ashby Redwine.” and care. People say the old hag lives squalid poverty.” Mary shuddered at the thought of the little fellow's sufferings and began to drsnd again lest it w as dead. She said she v,\ +wc ry are she would know him for the last time Pea cock was at home before he stole it, eii her accidentally or purposely be chopped off the child's great toe on the left foot; by which means it could be easily identified. By this time the boy whom Mr. Redwine had told to catch his horse and to get one for the lady, came to say they were ready. Mr. Redwine used every argument to induce Mary to remain and let him go alone. He said there w T as danger if any of the men were about, but he had heard tin y had gone on a tramping expedition, still he prepared himself for the worst, insisting that she should let him go alone. “Ob, sir, I c-annot! I would go wild with fear and apprehension of farther evils. Ob! Mr. Redwine, I might be some help to you in case of resistance. With your determina tion and bravery I know yon aie a host in yourself, still I might be able to help yon and 1 will share the danger with you.” “Miss Mary, I think we are bound to suc ceed. Our cause is right and just before God and man and we have tile nerve to do w'bat is right, so I will help you to mount your horse.” He eould not bear to call her by the name of Peacock. They had agreed ip ride on in silence; it was too dark to see far ahead and they rode as fast as the darknessp.nd the road would permit. When they could rue a-rtast they held a whispered conversation. She askedagain for everything he could tell ot ber child. He asked about her parents; she only told him they had moved away from their old home. He judged from the melancholy tone of her voice that there wa3 something wrong in that quarter too, and decided that Peacock must be at the bottom of .it. How he detested the wretch who hail brought all this ruin on an innocent and too confiding family. At last they came up to the hut. Redwine had taken the pains to go and get a good look at it and all its surroundings. He made it a rule after writing to Mary to rids out there frequently. He would fiU his pockets with candy and cakes to toll the three starv ed looking children the hag had charge of, to get them to come to him. To the old hag herself he would give a little flask of whisky, pretending he called to get some water to put m his toddy. He would be extremely friend ly with “granny,” as the children called her, and whenever he came granny would wipe off the chair she gave him with her apron or her rag of a sun bonnet, He would praise her grandchildren. One, sue said, was not “hen,.but t/tpt af thing Jikst’fyalt <vs lookin ’ like he saw somethin’" way ,j’-. I don’t like that, sir. He looks like he was seein’ speer- its, or maybe youens call ’em spooks, and I don’t like the creetur nohow, fur its taking the bread outen my own children’s mouths; but Ike says it has to be kept here, for he knew the daddy in the mountains and they were counterfeiters together and mighty great friends.” Redwine fearedbvhen ha was made the de pository of that piece of news, so he in an adroit manner questioned the hag to find out if she was aware of the importance of the j secret. She was not; had hardly an idea in penniless scamp could not get further than regard to the penalty attached to it; rather the depot. But he was not visible when Red- thoughc it was a splendid business and the J w-ine helped Mary on the train, and keenly government paid them well. Redwine looked in every direction. Mary' Redwine replied, “Hardly paid them I now would not let him leave her. She said: enough.” * ! “Never mind business. What is that pal- Redwine Lai pea at her door to give her some clothes for the child until she could make some. He seemed to know and think of everything. She washed, combed and dressed the haggard, half-starved child, talk ing, kissing and petting it all the while. He: bi eekfast was sent in to her, and very carefully she fed the famished little one. She sent for Redwine after he had eaten Lis breakfast. Holding the boy - up to him, she asked: “Would you have recognized him as the dirt and rags we picked up and brought here?” He took the little fellow up in his arms and fondled him. The child knew him and gabbled his childish talk. Mr. Redwine said: “Miss Mary, I now see a strong resem blance to yourself.” The foot was carefully examined. It had healed badly,and the scar was there. Mary told Redwine he ought to leave this place now; “from w hat you told me of that moun taineer, ike, i am afraid he is daring enough to way lay you. Resign this office and come home with uie, and I know you will be joy fully received by some warm friends I have Besides such a man as you are has no busi- neas to remain here in obscurity. You are doing yourself an injustice, but I thank God you we: e here when X wrote to this office.” . Redwine replied: “If I can find a deputy before the stage comes I will go with you as far as the depot, to prot; co you against ubv unf osecn danger. “Ge, Mr Redwine; hurry and lind one.and make your arrangements to go home with me. do get ready I” said happy Mary. Sue never let the child from her arms, but held fast to him as if she feared again to lo=e him. Redwine found a suitable deputy and all were ready tie time the stage came in. In tke stage were some goo d l utign rant old farmers w ham Redw ine knew. As they talked on their own affairs without cessation they were no hindrance to the confidential conversations of Mary and Redwine. She gave him an outline of all that had passed in regard to her father’s affairs. No names were called, but each knew the allusion the other made. Mr. Redwine said: “The place you saw was my refuge after that unfortunate duel.” Mary interrupted him with, “Never give that circumstance a thought. I said at the time he was a bad ma and without any sense of honor, and perhaps, by doing as you did, you have saved some ; oor, confiding family from his clutches. 1 only look on it in this way, that you were only an instrument in God’s hands. From what I know of bad men I think the world was well rid of him.” At last the old farmers got tired talking of their crops and got to telling news. One said: “What do you ’spose made that old woman yell so this morning as we were passing her hut?” “And squalling and screeching for ike? Who is Ike-' Do you know.” One answered: “Ike is a bully that ought to be in the pen itentiary for life, according to my belief and from what I knot- ff- bin-:.’’ Mary exchanged glances with Redwine and he asked in a careless way, “Have any of you seen Ike thi3 morning?” One said, “I saw a fellow who was going down the red mill for him as one of the children was dead or lost, but I was riding so fast I could not bear exactly.” Mary hugged and pressed her child closer i to her bosom and breathed many prayers for its safety. Redwine did not doubt but that ke was fast folio wing on, but he knew the i you leave me so long?” had some remembrance of flness. He would dive down ne’s pockets and if ho got. a f cand v he would laugh gleefully, and said: ’■•ili make my boy a good man *ith ; Gc d’s help; and I hope Lie may be both good j and great enough to be of service to both | j friend and eounrry.” After it was settled that Redwine would j not return to that dangerous locality, M iry was better satisfied and so was he. They el ; at'ed pleasantly as they travelled on.

Redwine srys, "Mr. Belmont, she attributed too much to m \ she did a great deal herself.” Mr. Belmont laughingly said: *'You shall not quarrel over each other’s good qualities, for t see the very act required nerve and daring and only the" brave could have succeeded as you did.” It was evening and they all took supper to gether. At a later hour Mr. Belmont left, taking Mr. Redwine home with him and tolu him. "Now, this is vour home unti tired.” Through Redwine hs learned more partic uiarly about Mary’s former life aud the mort he heard the more in love he grew.

It was needless for him to go, she said. “But you may be running into danger.” “I am not afraic’; I know Mr. Ashby Redwine and he is brave and the soul of honor.” Mary’s preparations were made in time for leaving on the first train. Her friend kind and true, took her in his carriage to the depot and saw her start on her journey. She was placed particularly under the con ductor’s care. Her friend and employer ho. # i for her success but he mi-sed her i nd dreaded when she found her child she might refuse to be his wife. She had told him she wished never to marry again, but he hoped he could induce her to change her mind and accept him, for he really loved her. On her journey Mary took time to think of his parting words. “If I marry him,” she thought, “he will be a protection to me and my child against Peacock; he will assist me in finding and caring for my poor parents.

She was told by the conductor that she could not get to Marshal on the train, but he would put her off at the nearest point and she could get a conveyance. It was now evening. She got off at the little station, but found that no con veyance was to be had She got a horse and resolved to go on if it took ail night. She traveled as fast as she could and did not stop hasty retreat, lifted her down lightly, fastened the horse: and returned to the house. The snoring still went on. He rapped loudly once, twice. Her gruff voice called out: “Who in thunder is thar making that noise?” Redwine ask ea permission to’come in. “And whaten in the thundereu air you you coming here this time o’night for? Ye git back where ye come from! ’ “But, granny, I have a lady here who wants to rest.” “Let her sot on the ground, fur it’s not so very cold.” “Well, granny, I’ll knock your door down if you don’t open it.” ' “I shan’t open my house this time o’ night. Ike says I shan’t and I shan’t!” Redwine repeated: “Open it now or I will burst it open. ” He was confident big, burly Ike, the worst ruffian in the gang was not there and anoth er blow at the door would open it. The hag called, “Will you hurt me if I let you in my house?” “No; of course not, Why should I hurt you, granny?” Then an immense bolt was drawn and a prop taken from the door, and they were ad mitted. “Sure enough, youens has got a gal with you.” “Well, here, you must now make us a toddy.” While the hag was making it and sipping it, Redwine lighted his lantern that reflected a light through the filthy place. The hag lighted a pine torch that threw its bright glare everywhere, and poor Mary, with her heart in her throat hastened to a pile of fil th}' straw in the corner. She came first to a child five or six years old. She took the dirty rag covering from off the smallest child, and scarcely looked at its face but took hold of its feet.
