A beautiful story. i had served twenty-live years on board an East India.;, and for the last, ten years had command o'? the Belle, one of the finest crafts that ever Jlomted. I was an old sea dog, and had dweJt »» •‘"•ft °» s: ‘ lt water that 1 l’elt almost a hatred lor the land. . . On the 20th of October, 1834,1 received or ders to put myself in readiness to saf? A>r Cayenne. 1 was to transport seventy-flv"?- soldiers and a convict. I had orders to treat this individual well, and the letter I receiv ed from the Directory inclosed another with a huge red seal, which 1 was uot to open until betwecri**7 and 28 deg. west longitude; that is just before we * were about to cross the line. The letter was a long packet, so well ■ closed on every side that it was impossible lo catch the slightest glimpse of its con tents. I am not naturally superstitious, but there was something in the look of the letter that I did not altogether like, though 1 could give no reason why. However, 1 carried it into the cabin, and stuck it under the glass of a little old shabby English clock, which was fastened above my head. 1 was busy fixing the letter under the clock, aud who should come into my cabin but the convict and his wife! This was the first time I had seen either of them, and I may say that a more prepossessing couple 1 never met. The woman was scarcely more than fifteen, and as handsome as a picture; while the husband was an intelligent, mag nificently formed man, on whose features nature had never written “ villain.” Ilis crime, to be plain, was the misfortune of being a hundred years ahead of his age. lie and others had attempted something which our Government called treason, and which it punished with death. It therefore occasioned me considerable wonder that lie should be placed tinder my charge—but more of this afterwards. He had, as i said, his wife hanging upon his arm. She was as merry as a bird; she looked like a turtle dove cooing and nest ling under his great wing. Before a month passed over our heads I looked upon them as our own children. — Every morning 1 used to call them into my cabin. The young fellow would sit, wait ing at ray table—that is to say, at my chest, which was my bed. He would often help me at my reckoning, and soon learned to do better than 1 could. I was amazed at his ability. His young wife would sit upon one of the round stools in my cabin, working at her needle. One day we were all three sitting in this way, when I said : “Do you know, my young ones, as it seems to me, we make a very pretty family picture ?" Mind, 1 don’t mean to ask ques tious, but nrny-be you have not much money to spare, and you are, both of you, as 1 thiuk, too handsome to dig in the burning sun of Cayenue, like many a poor wretch before you. It’s a bad country—a bad country, take my word.for it. I, who have roughed it through tempest, wind and sun shine, till I've got the skin of ft rhinoceros, might get along there; but you—l am afraid of you. So, if you should chance to have a bit of foolish friendship for your poor old captain, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll get rid of this old brig ; she’s not much better than an old tub, after all; so I’ll settle down there with you, if you like. You see I have not a living soul in the world to care for, or that cares for me. I want relations, I want a home, I waut a familyr I should like to make my home with you, my pretty young ones ! What say ye ?” - -- - - 1 - Sri-tDcckln (Constitutionalist. • They said nothing at all, hat sat looking, first at each other and then at me, as if they doubted whether they understood what I said. At last the little bud threw her arms round my neck, and cried like a baby. “ But,” said she, suddenly pausing, “you haven’t looked at the letter with the big red seal.” “ Hang it 1” I exclaimed, “it slipped my mind entirely.” With a cold, dreadful sensation, I went to my chest to see where wc were.. I found that we had several days remaining before we could reach the proper longitude for opening-the letter. Well, there we stood, all three of us look ing up at the letter as if it could have spoken to us. As it happened the sun was shining full upon the face of the clock case, and fell upon the great staring red seal of the letter. I could not help fancying it looked something like a big monster, an ogre’s face, grinning from the middle of the lire ; it looked horrid. “ Could not one fancy,” said I, to make them laugh, “ its great big eyes were star ing out of its head ?” “ Ah, my love,”' said the wife, “ it looks like blood.” “ Pooh, pooh!” said her husband, taking her arm under his ; “ it looks like a letter of invitation to a wedding. Come, come, leave the letter alone if it troubles you so. Let’s go to our room and prepare for bed.” And on they went. They went upon deck and left me with that beast of a letter. I remember that I kept looking at it as I smoked my pipe ; it seemed to fix its great fed eye upon mine, fascinating like the eye of a serpent. It was red, wide, raw, staring like the maw of a fierce wolf. 1 took iny great coat and hung it over both clock and letter, and went upon deck to finish my pipe. We were now in the vicinity of the Cape de Verde Islands; the Belle was running before a fair wind at the rate of ten miles an l|Our. It was a splendid tropical night —the stars large and shining, the moon rising above the horizon, as large as a sun of silver, the line of ocean parting it, and long streams of bare shimmering light fall ing upon the waves, which, as they broke, sparkled like jewels. I sat upon the deck, smoking my pipe and looking at them. All was still except the footfall oi the of ficer of the watch, as he paced the deck, gazing as I did upon the shadow of the vessel, stealing over the silent waters. I love silence and order—l hate noise and confusion. The lights should all have been extinguished by this time; but when I looked upon the deck I thought I saw a lit tle red hue of light beneath my feet. At another time this would have made me an gry, but knowing that tlie light came from the cabin of my little (lc park », 1 determined to see what they were about. I had.only to look down—l could see into the cabin from the skylight. The young girl was upon her knees, and was saying her prayers. A lamp swinging from the ceiling lighted her room. She had on a long, white night dress, and her fair, golden hair floated over her shoulders, and almost touched two little hare feet which were peeping from under her white dress, so pretty. 1 turned away; but shaw! said 1, Lam an old sailor! What matters it.— So I staid. The husband was sitting upon a little trunk, his head resting upon his hands, looking at her as she prayed. She raised her face to heaven, and then i saw that her eyes were filled with tears. She looked like a Magdalene. As he rose, he said : “ Ah, my sweet Laurette, as we approach America 1 cannot help being anxious. I do J not know wliy, hut I feel that this voyage lias been the happiest part of our lives.” “So it seems to me,” she answered. “I only wish It might, last forever.” Suddenly clasping his hands in a trans port. of love and a (lection, lie said : “ All you, my little angel, 1 sec you cry in your prayers, and that 1 cannot stand, for 1 know what causes it, and then I fear you must repent what you have done.” “ Repent!” she said, in a rebuking tone, “repent of having come with you ? Do you think because 1 have been yours only such a very short time, that I should not love you? Was I not your wife? How can you be sorry that I should lie with you if you arc to die?” The young man began to sigh, striking the floor impatiently with his feet, while he kissed repeatedly the little hand and arm which she was holding out. “ All, Laurette, Laurette! When I think if our marriage.had only been delayed five days—only five days—that. I should have been arrested and transported alone, 1 can not, forgive myself.” At this the little one stretched out her round white arms, clasped his head, press ed his forehead, his hair, his eyes, smiling like a cherub, and murmuring all sorts of woman’sToud tilings. I was quite affected, aud considered it one of the prettiest scenes I had ever witnessed. “ And besides, we are so very rich, too,” said she, bursting out laughing. “ Look at my purse—oue gold Louis d’or—all my worldly wealth.” He began to laugh too. “Yes, dear, I have spent my last half crown. I gave it to the fellow who carried our trunks on board.” “Ah, poor!” cried she; “what matters it ? Nobody so merry as those who have nothing at all; besides I have my two dia mond rings that my mother gave me; they are good for something all the world over ; we can sell them when you like; and be sides, I am sure that the captain meant kindly by us, and I suspect he knows very well what is in the letter.” “ It’s a recommendation to the Governor of Cayenne.” “ Perhaps so; who knows?” “ To be sure it is,” continued the charm ing little wife. “ You are so good lam sure the Government has banished you only l’ora short time—l know they have no feeling against you.” It was high time that the lights should be stricken out, and now I rapped on the deck aud called to them to do so. They instantly obeyed, and 1 heard them laughing and chattering like two innocent school lellows. One morning when I awoke 1 was sur prised not to feel the slightest motion of the vessel. Hurrying on deck I found that we were becalmed. Latitude one degree north; lougitude between 27 aud 28 degrees west. I waited until night, when 1 descended to my cabin and opened the letter, with a dull, awful feeling. I held my breath while I broke the big red seal and read : “ Captain Fontainbleau—The convict, Antoine Ilindsclear, stands convicted of high treason against the Republic. The Directory order that he be shot in mid ocean, and you are hereby instructed to see that these orders are carried into effect.” 1 read the letter backward and forward. I went on deck. There they were, she looking upon the ocean, and he gazing upon her with an expression of unuttera ble fondness. Catching his eye, 1 signed for him to come into the cabin, aud bidding her good-bye, lie came down, his.face all smiles. I was bathed in a cold sweat; I felt as if deadly sick; 11 lauded him.the letter, and he read it, together with the deatli warrant, which was drawn up in due form, and at tached. 1, gathered voice as he finished. He colored slightly and bowed. “ I ask nothing, Captain,” he said, in the same gentle voice that always character ized his speech; “no man can be expected to swerve from his duty. I only wish to speak a few words to Laurette, and to en treat you to take care of her, if site should survive. 1 hardly think she will.” “ All that is fair, my good fellow,” I said. “ If you request it, I will carry her back to France, to her family. I will never leave her until she wishes to get rid of me, but I do not think she will survive it.” lie took my hand and pressed it. “ Most kind captain, I see yon suffer more in this business than 1 do; but there is no help for it. 1 trust you will preserve what little property of mine is left for her sake, and that you will take care she gets what her poor old mother may leave her. I put her life—her honor—in your hands. She is” (and how fondly low his voice became!) “ a delicate little creature. Her chest is often affected. She must keep it warm; and if she could keep the two diamond rings her mother gave her, I should be glad; but, of course, if money is needed, they must go. My poor Laurette, how pretty she looks!” It was getting too much for me, and I began to knit my brows. “ “ One word is as good as a thousand,” I said. “We understand each other. Go t 6 her.” I squeezed his hand ; he looked wistfully at me, and I added: “ Stay a moment; let me give you a word of advice. Don’t say a word to her; be easy ; that is my business. It shall be managed in the best manner.” “Ah !” said he, “ I did not understand; yes, much better. Besides, this leave-taking ! this leave-taking!” *• Yes,” said I, “ don’t behave like a child —much 1 letter. No leave taking, if you can help it, or you are lost.” I kept my seat. I saw them walking arm-in-arm upon the deck for about half fin hour. I called the mate to me, aud when he had read the letter, I said : “Garley, this is. bad business —bad busi ness. I put it in your hands. 1 drey the orders, but remain in the cabin until it is all over.” “ How do you wish the thing done ?” he asked in a nonchalant manner.” “ Take him out in a boat—out of sight ; do it as quick as possible; don’t say any thing of this until the time comes.” Garley sat five minutes looking at me without saying a word. lie was a strange fellow. 1 don’t know what to make of him. He went out of tile cabin without saying a word. Night came at last. “Man a boat; go a quarter of a mile; lie quick.” To obey a slip of paper! for it was but a slip of paper after all. Something in the very air must have urged me on. I saw the young man kneel down before his Laurette; kiss her knees! her feet! her gown! I cried out like a madman : “ Part them ! part them this instant!— Part them ! Curse the Republic—curse the Directory—the Directors! I quit the ser vice ! Curse the lawyers! You may tell them if you will.” She was dragged into her berth, and the boat rowed away in the darkness. Some time after, a dull volley came over the sea to the vessel. It was all over. Fool! mailman! How I paced the deck and cursed myself. All night long I heard the moaning of the poor stricken bird. Often I halted anil was tempted to throw myself into the sea, and so end this horrid torture of brain and heart. Days passed. I saw nothing of Laurette —I would not see her. She avoided me, and 1 was glad of it. I could not bear the sight of the woe-stricken face. The mate, Garley, how I hated him. He was as cool and unconcerned as though he had no remembrance of shooting the po r wretch. At Cayenne I resigned my ship. Going to the city I made all my arrangements, and took the steamer for New York. I placed ample funds in the hands of a trusty friend, and told him to send Laurette tome at the end of six months. I could not see her until her grief had lost its edge. Weary, sick, aud careless of life, I wan dered off into York State, aud finally bought a little place, where I hoped I should lay.iitom.aatldie. I sent for Laurette. Poor bird, I must see her. I could wait no longer. One summer night 1 sat on the porch of my house smoking my pipe, and gazing down the road. Soon tiie rumble of wheels was heard, and the stage halted. The next moment a pair of soft arms were around my neck, and the head of my sobbing Laurette was on my bosom. “Oh! dear, excellent captain”— “ Heavens ! who is that behind you ?” There stood the fine manly form of An toine ilindsclear, the convict. “ What does this mean?” I demanded, hardly knowing whether I was dreaming or not. “ Are you glad to see me?” “ Thank God ! Thank God!” was all that I could ejaculate. I understood it all. The mate Garley had read my heart better than 1 did myself. Af ter leaving the brig in the boat he arranged the whole affair. The volley was fired, but no bullet touched Antoine Ilindsclear. He was smuggled into his berth again, and took care to avoid my sight. The whole crew were in the plot, and, thank God, I was duped. I sent Garley a thousand dollars as a re ward. lam now an old man; but 1 am happy. My children and my grandchildren (I call them nothing else) seem to think old Cap tain Fontainbleau is not such a wretch after all.
