CHAPTEB Xirt. in BACKED IILE A LAMMED. Wa can no longer keep from our read er! the foot that the old white man in the Stored Island waa none other than Oap- tiin Thornton, the father of Julia end Ed- wird. Arlxteh, the Prieet of the Son, in relntiug the white man’a etory, virtually told how be escaped after being con demned end apparently executed by hia implacable enemy. Captain Colgate, the pirafe. As will be remembered, the moment the prieet oeased speaking Jnlie end Lonah entered the little pleas, and when the eyes of the old white man rested on the former he fell fainting to the earth. Jalia recog nized him, end, like one in e dream, to the anrpriseof her companion she rushed forward and threw her arms around the neok of the prostrate man, exclaiming as she did so, “My father! oh, my father 1” Azoal entered the plaza, and hastened to lift Julia and her father from the ground and seat them side by side on the bench which the old white man had form erly ooonpied. It was some time before either seemed fnlty restored to’ooneoious- neas, end then they oonid not talk, bat eat with hands clasping, looking into each other’s eyes with the half-pained, holf- yearaing expression of people mode sud denly happy, yet uncertain that their hap piness is not a dream. Arlztah alone seemed cool end un moved, and was therefore the first to break the silence: “It is even as I told yon; bat, as wise men, let ns now daoide whet is best to be done. Azcal will eondnet the maidens btok again, and then we can talk.” Captain Thornton poshed back the brown hair from bis daughter's brow, kissed her, end drew her again to his heart, as if to be oonvinoed of her physi cal reality. “Do not part us now, I beg! Let me be sure, by feasting my oil ej es on the face of my ohild, that ahe still lives. Oh, Arlztah! yon whose whole heart has been absorbed in yonr religion—yen who have never been separated a moment from thoee who love yon—yon cannot appreci ate my feelings and the long void in my heart, whioh you. through God, have filled with my child. Let her stay with me yet e while, then return; my heart will have ceased its exn'tant throbbing, and my brain will have become cool." A ring of moistnre gathered about tliu old priest's eyes, end be said in a lower and more emotional tone than he had ever been heard to nse before, “The love yon bear yonr child is like unto the love which God bears the world, end the fire in yonr heart is bat kindled from the holy fires in God's home, the enn. I will leave yon for a time.” Leaning on the shonlder of Azcal, tho old nun walked out, leaving the wuuder- ing Lonah in company with Jnlie and her fether. The two men walked ailently to e round building that rose from the eastern side of the houses surrounding the little island. Opening e door, they passed down a long, dark passage, end stopped in e cironlar room, in the centre of whioh wee raised a whits altar, on whose summit a fire burned with a steady, even glow. Arlstah and advanced with bowed heads, and the alter on whioh burned the se- flres that were never extinguished, themselves, with their hands olasped to their foreheads. So for some minutes they remained, absorbed in devotion. The old priest was the first to rise, end going to a recess in tho most eastern part of the temple, he retained with a crystal vase containing oil and a bundle of straight, knotless sticks, that glistened with a peonlior brillianoy in the light of the fire. Azool rose, and taking ths sticks he bowed again before the altar, then placed one on the fire, the priest first embalming it with oil. A bine smoke, emitting a rich iqcense, rose straight for the opening in the summit of the temple. Stick after stick was bo placed on, with prostrations and prayers, and aa the sun went down the inlanders on the bills and lake Raid, “The heart of Arlztah is exoeeding glad; his prayers are aseending in thanks to God. See, the son touches the column of smoke with fire, and heaven holdsoom. mnnion with the temple.” The two men, without nttering a word one to tho other, remained in the temple till the san went down, and through the opening above the stars looked in ; then silently, and with their faces kept turned to the fire, as -subjects retreat from the presenoe of a sovereign, they went down the long passage till they-emerged in the plaza, where myriads of birds ware twit tering, and the water in the basin fell with a musical, monotonous plash. “Have yon decided, my father ?” asked Azcul, breaking the ailenoe. “No. My heart is very heavy. Let us wait. It is time the maidens were taken to their apartments; then I will talk with the white man." They entered the little plaza, and by the uncertain light of a lamp that bnrned on the opposite side they bsw the old white man sitting between Julia and Lonah, and bolding the hand of eaoh. “Yon must part for the night,” said the priest, advancing. “Yes, for the night." Captain Thorn ton emphasized the last three words, as it he wished to understand the prieBt os say ing the parting would be no longer. He learned from Julia about Lonah,'and now felt as if be had another ohild to fill his heart. He kissed them, and murmured a benedietion to the God who controls the san and stars. Jnlia and Lonah were too excited by the day’s adventures to sleep soon. So they Isy awake for honrs, talking over again the remarkable events that had followed their escape from the village of the Mika- sankees. “My father will never own me again ; but yonr father calU me daughter, ” said Lonah, throwing her arms about her friend “Yes, from this time forward he is yonr father; you and I have long been sisters," replied Jnlia, returning the affectionate embrace. The old priest and the white man sat together in the darkness. “My heart is very heavy. You are a man, and could ever live in the temple; but the maidens cannot stay beyond three days. What think yon would be wise ?” “It would break my heart to be sepa rated from my child, now that I have found her, and deeply would it sadden me to leave you, who have been to me so no ble and good. I see that our remaining may cause you trouble. Let me, I pray yon, leave the Sacred Island with these children and try to find the abodes of white men on the shores of the great wa ters.” “No. Men would demand where you came from, and then they would learn of our island, and seek us out to capture and destroy our beautiful home; and equally bad to yon, they might kill you and the maidens long before you reached the great waters.” “If you give me a canoe and let me de part, I will never tell where I oame from. I will raise my baud and swear to my promise; and if I die by the hands of cruel men, I will bless yon with my latest breath.” “Yes, but if cruel men kill you, they will spare the maidens, though it would be better in that case they were dead. No. I have decided on a plan. Back near the shores cf the lake there is a beautiful lit tle vulley, with the houses of some of our people, who go there to.cultivate fruit at certain seasons. This valley I will give you. My people shall beautify it and at tend to all your wants. Will you agree ?" “I must agree to whatever the good priest advises,” said Captain Thornton. “Then it is agreed.” Arlztah went out and communicated his plan to Azcal, and the young priest’s hoart grew lighter at the thought that Jnlia was to remaiu. The morrow’s sun was bright and clear, and again Azcal and Tonto and thdir two friends went to examine the shores of the island. Again messengers came running back to the beautiful valley, and this time the alarming intelligence was given to the priest that a fleet of canoes, filled with armed men, was approaching that part of the island where J ulia and Lonah had landed. CHAPTEB XXVII. THE LAftT ACT. Manuel, the Mikasauk'ee, or, as Koano called him, “the renegade,” knew every cove and islet in the great lake; so that under his guidance the canoes advanced to the Sucred Island by a more direct route than had Julia and Lonah in their littlo craft. The snn waa rising as they neared the sloping shores, which w ore mir rored like emerald banks in tho placid depths of the lake. It looked so like the land of peace that the rough soldiers low* ered their tones and spoke in whispers as they approached it. All held their arms ready as the canoes struck the graveled beach, but they saw no foe approaching with weapons poised to contest their land ing- “It is the land of peace!” exolaimed young Thornton, the first man to leap on •bore, adding, when he stood on the solid eertfe, “end no aot of ours will disturb the peace we find here.” “No aot of ours, Captain. Let the in habitants, if there be any, but aid us in gaining the object* of our search, and by my faith we will return, as muoh to our own delight as theirs. But are there any inhabitants here ?'* asked Valdez, glanc ing around, aud restraining with that glance his men, who showed a disposition to ascend the hill. “Yes, there are inhabitants. See, here come two.” As Thornton spoke two young men, Azoal and Tonto, descended to where the soldiers and sailora were standing. There was such a grace and dignity in their bearing, and each an air of peace and security in their stately, unarmed forms, that, as they approached the place where Thornton and Valdez stood, eaoh man, imitating their commanders, uncov ered. Azcal, acting as spokesman, bowed as he neared Thornton, and said, “Why come yon with arms in your hands to a peaceful people, the dwellers in the Sacred Island ?” “To bear arms is our calling, and we carrjf them with us wherever we go. We came not hore, however, to stir up strife or to harm in any way the good people living on thin island,” said Thornton. “Then why, com o you here?” “We come not from idle curiosity or selfish gain, but to Beek a white maiden, my sister, who fled from the hands of bad tnen, and found in this island, as we un derstand, protection. Can you inform us if this be true V” “Did she escape alone?” “No; she was accompanied by an In dian girl of the Mikasaukee tribe.” “How am I to know that you are not the men who held her captive, and from whom she escaped ? Remember we are unacquainted with the world from which you come.” “That I understand, and my heart ap proves your caution." Thornton then, in a voice subdued with emotion, wont* on and related his history briefly, and as he spoke the face of the young priest bore the expression of one listening to a revelation. When Thorn ton had concluded, Azcal said, “I learn that in the world where the whites dwell you can talk at a long dis tance by black signs which messengers oarry. If this be true, mark signs saying who you are, aud I will bear it to the white girl, who is now in the protection of our temple iu the heart of tho island.” Thornton comprehended what was wanted, and rejoiced at the information that Azcal gave him, and, convinced of the honesty of the splendid youth before him, he sat down and wrote to his sister, stating briefly where he was, and how and why he came. This done, betook a chain from about his neck with a locket attached, and handing it to Azcal, he said, “Show this to my sistor; it is my father’s picture.” Thornton opened the lids, that the youfig priest might gaze on the manly, bearded face within. This your father!” asked Azcal, in amazement. “Yes, my father, who was murdered by the human demon you see lying wounded in yonder cauoe,” said Thornton, pointing to where Colgate lay writhing with pain and anger. “The island of peace has become the island of wonders; but stay you here, nor permit your men to move further, till I return.” “They shall not move inland another yard. To this I pledge the word of a sailor.” Azcal but littlo comprehended the sanc tity of this vow. Without waiting to have it explained, ho turned and, with another graceful bow, ascended the hill with Tonto, and then directed their fleet steps to the island’s heart. “Think you they will carry off tho white girl ?” asked Tonto, as they hurried on. “I know not, my brother; but it would be better that they should, for our com mon peace. The young white mnn is the brother of this beautiful girl, aud the old white man is their father.” “They should be satisiled with taking him away,” said the innocent Tonto, who was fast forgetting his vows of celibacy. The bland's heart was in commotion, and a black smoke rising from the Temple of the Sun called all the people together from the lake and the valleys. The old priest, as ho received tho news from Ton to, looked distressed, but he sought coun sel at once with tho old white man before communicating with Julia. “Con you decipher this ?” asked Arlz tah, as he handed him the letter. The old captain staggered as he breath lessly read and re-read the lines. Then he gasped, “Yes, yes, it is the handwriting of my son! He b s come for his sister, and he kuows not that I live !” “This, too, he sent as a token of his truth.” The old man looked at the locket, and the tears flowed dawn his bronzed, fur rowed chocks as he saw the picture of his own face before care and suffering had left their traces there. “You are convinced ?” “I am. Oh, thank the Great Father, who doeth all things well, lam!” “Now, then, deeply os it grieves my heart to part with you, go take yonr daugh ter and.depart to your own land with your son, nor ever mention to the world the Sacred Island.” The old man clasped and kissed the small red hand of the priest, and cried, “No! no! I can do naught to break up this heaven of peace, but forever your goodness aud that of your people will abide in my heart!” Tho little hand was soon ready, and Azoal, like one who does a painful duty, led tho way to the lake. He aided Julia and her fath% over the rough places, and at last they stood on the hill that looked down on the canoes and the armed men. “I can go no further. May tho God of the Sun over lighten your life paths.” The young priest saw the old man lead ing down the two girls. He saw the young white man with a cry of joy olatping his father and aisterto hia haart. He aaw tham kneeling with bowed heeds on the shore. Then they entered the oanoee, and he watohed them till they could no longer be seen from the Sacred Island. I might lengthen out this reoord, but the vital part of the story is told. Col gate died on the return, and was buried by the shores of the great lake. Kosuo disowned his daughter, but she had a home with her friends. On reaching Tampa, groat was the delight and amaze ment of all at finding the Julia and Her cules in port, tho latter captured by tire valor of Castillo, though not till the gal lant Morton was slain. Six months after the oofiimandante, with his family and friends, returned to the Old World, Costillo in command of the Hercules, with Lonah as his bride. From the first inslaut they met Valdez and Julia decided eaoh other's fate, aud they were married tho day that young Thornton made the Senorita his wife. Many years of peace they had in tho older world, but they kept secret their ho liest thought—the memory of the Sacred Island. [the end.] SCIENTIFIC NOTES. —A physician in n certain village had attained a great reputation for weather wisdom. However, ho was often heard to, suy, “The only infallible sign of rain I kyow, especially after a drought, is one I leai no l from an Indian : dirlc all around and pouring down iu the middle.” —Some one has recently published the following data in rogard to the growth of men and women : “Average weight of boys at birth, <»$ pounds; average weight of girls at birth, pounds; average weight of males at tweuty, 1 ill pounds; average weight of females at tweuty, 120 pounds. Men acqniro greatest weight, on an average, at thirty-five, weighing 152 pounds; wornou at fifty, weighing 128 pounds. —Bread, butter, coffee, tea, wine, pickles, sugar, and, in fact, almost every thing wo use on our tables, is, or is likoly to be, adulterated. But America has not yet quite reached to tho English standard of adulteration. British butchers adul terate their turkeys!—an i lea which we fancy will be entirely now to Americans in the same lino of business. They inge niously stuff them with pork, under the impressiou that oousumors will not know the difference botweeu turkey and pork. Perhaps some of them do eut tho com pound in innocent credulity, but other in dignant purchasers have raised a breezo about such frauds. —In bis recent address ns President of the Glasgow Geological Sooiety, at the annual meeting of the association, Sir William Thompson said that he could not adopt the opinion that changes of climnte have been produced by changes in the po sition of the axis of tho earth. In curly geological times, when tho earth is sup * posed to have been plastic, a change m tho position of the earth’s uxis might huvo occurred; but such a change is impossi ble in the present rigid condition of the globe. —The observations of different astrono mers do not agree with one another in the time assigned for tho rotation of tho planot Jupiter upon its axis. A compari son of tho results obtained by Cassini aud other observers has boon made by Profes sor Schmidt, of Athens, who finds a dif ference of six minutes between the maxi mum and minimum. Professor Schmidt’s own observations, made lust year, show u period of rotation of !> hours, 5G miuutes, 7.2 seconds. —Since tho earthquake of November last at Mendoza, in the Argentine Repub lic, a curious phenomenon bus been no ticed in connection with a well at that place. This well is about one hundred and ninety-three foot deep, and from it there issues a strong current of air, so that fragments of puper thrown iulo its mouth are at once borne aloft ns though by a brisk wind. The phenomenon had never been noticed before the earthquake. —A case of poisoning by carbolic acid has occurred iu a Gorman hospital. A tu- blespoouful of a solution, consisting of six parts water and one part carbolic acid, was administered to tho patient by mis take, aud produced death. On post mor tem examination, tho stomach was tho only jgtrt of tho system iu which the pres ence of tho poison could bo detected. —A surprising statement concerning coffee has been made by tho Abbo Moigno in Lea Mondea to the eff ct that nutritious as coffee and uulk are known to be when taken separately, a mixture of both pro duces a compound which cannot be di gested or assimilated. —Manufacturers of guupowder are in troducing tools, locks and koj h made of phosphor-bronze into their works, for the reason that this new alloy does not emit sparks when struck. 8NAUEB AND NNAKE BITES. The following curious medical recipes for the treatment of suake bites are extracted from a Siamese manual of medicine. The author begins by btuting it as an important fact, to be taken into consideration in forming a diag nosis, that a bite from a venomous serpent on tho left side of a female nnd right side of a male are unfavorable to a euro, and that the reverse is favorable; and, furthermore, that there is a differ ence in the curative capabilities of all wouads according to the day of the week on which they wero inflicted, as there is also in the timo of day, the morning be ing much rnoro propitious than the eve ning. One of tho prescriptions comprises nineteen ingredients, among which is a portion of the jaw of a wild hog, one of a tame hog, and one of a gout; a piece of a goose bone, a piece of peacook’s bone ; part of the tail of a fish, and part of the head of a venomous suake. These being duly compounded aud inixod, are excel lent for use in all cases when the poison has produced tetanus or lockjaw. Another prescription is c died a general sternuta tory one, to be blown into tho nose of the patient. This contains seventeen ingre dients, as wood, bark, nutmeg, camphor, flowers, and the bile of four sorts of ven omous reptiles. A third remedy, and this is to bo swallowed, is made of the bile of four sorts of buffaloes, of two kinds of hogs, of • goat, of a sheep, of a fresh water alligator, of a Drge tortoise, a swordfish, and a shark. To all this must be added four descriptions of stone,n’uin and rutsbaue, seven kinds of flowers und fruit, and seven of medicated waters, sev enteen different leaves, besides gums and resin, andiron of five qualities—174 sepa rate ingredients iu all. Three dost s of this mixture arc to be taken. Then fol lows a third recipo, which is not to bo cm ployed till a special form of incantation has been rehearsed over it thirty-seven times. Hero is u paste or poultice for ex ternal application, aud tho mothod of ap plying it: Take tho eyes of vultures, crows, and cats, together with three sorts of animal deposits found on trees. Mix all these together, then ptaoe nine wax candles (great stress is laid on three, five, seven, and nine, and the combinations of thtse mystic numbers,) on as many floats made of plantain-stalk, each ornamented with flowers. After this let the doctor make an offering of nine silver coins, nine handfuls of rlcA, nine cori leaves, and nine betel nuts, placing a sot of each on the several floats, iu houor of tho TeachcT of Mediciue. Then he is to launch the floats into tho river, mould hia paste composition into slugs, gild tho slugs »nd, after all this hat; been done, he may apply thorn to the wound. Lastly, we find an enohantiueut, for tho purpose of calling tho snake which give the wound to suck the poison out, viz : Fill three bottles with proof spirits, then let the doctor repeat the form of in cantation, drinking ono of the bottles of spirits up, while he enchants over it. - If the snake do not come ho is to drink a second bottle, proceeding in the* same way; and if on consuming the third bot tle the serpent still declines to appear, tho patient must die. But should the snake present himself, let the doctor take three cowries in his hand, and seven times rehearse a set form of inoautatiou, till he charm the snake to come to his left side. If it come to the right side a contention will ensue. Then the poison is to bo brushed from the wound with a handful of meyon leavos seven times, and the pa tient, if he ean be got to eat betel, wilH recover. Many deaths from snake bites are said to ocour in Siam. This is doubt less the case in the country, for the peo ple paddle about with naked feet in the watery rice fields, aud often troad upon serpents; but in tho city of Bangkok a medical man, who has lived there for more than thirty years, has not met with half a dozen instances. .Tliffiro aro more than thirty kinds of snakes, well kuowu to the natives, about half of which are venom ous. A few iufliot deadly wounds only with their tails. One of the moHt fatal is from five to six cpbits long, and has the power of reflecting prismatic colors. Tho cobra is also abun lunt. Besides theHO, boa constrictor is common, and often does mischief to the heu-toosm louud Bang kok, but never much huriu to man. The writer once purchased a live one there sixteen feet long for two do lara. It died six months afterward, but it was found impossible to save the skeleton, as the Siamese use the boues for medical com* wands >y one. The natives also firmly believe that in the great rivers there lives a monstorwith the body of a snake and the herd of a woman or monkey. Its size is said to be enormous, and i s bite fatal. Whenever a person is lost in the river and cannot be found, it is supposed that he has been seized and dragged down by one of these beasts. The fact is, there are strong un der currents in some pnrts of the river, even where the depth is by no means great, and bathers are ill consequence sometimes sucked down and drowned, in spite of their hoing excellent swimmers. A friend of the writer, a European of rank, some few years back deliberately stripped in tho presence of his servants and others, and dtvtd off the landing steps into tho river. Ho was nover se ii agniu till four days had elapsed, when his body was discovered flouting milon away down stream. Hen je the above superstition. THE DIAMOND BKAUEEETN. It was during the palmiest days of tho empire. Neyer was Palis so guy; in fact, it was the fete day of the Emperor, the lust flickering blaze < f his greatness eriNiis glory depurltd forever. All Paris knew that ho would grace the opera that night, and ad 1 to its usual lustre the glit tering pomp and circumstance of power. Accordingly, a11 that portion of Parris who had the necessary number of francs went to the opera, and, in houor of ho groat an occasion, Mons. Blauvuis, the director, was to produce “La Prophete.” The overture was over; tho Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, radiant in her beauty and glittering with jewels, had just entered the royal box ; hi., suite, uniformed in every color of the rainbow, stood grouped in the hack ground. In another moment the bell would tingle and the opera commence, lint in an instant of time, when every sound was hoard, the second box to the right of the Emperor was opened, nnd the curtains wore draw n aside, and revealed the lovely wife of the Russian ambassador, Duke Metzkerwilch. No wonder that the bell tinkled unheani and the curtain went up unnoticed; no wouder that every ejo was fixed with u fascinated gaze upon the woman who had just taken her seat sud was calmly and w ith well-bred nonchalance glancing uhout the house; for upon her arms, blazing like beacons, sparkled the diamonds of w'hich Paris had heard so much, aud which royalty in vain had long sought to pur chase. A hum of aduiiru’ ion ran through the house, and then for. the first time the enchanting strains of the chorus were listened to. When the curtain fell ujK>n the first aot, and Milord This ogling Milady That, u servant wearing the imperial livery pre sented himself at the Russian umbas-.u- dor’s box, rapped only us an imperial flunky could rap, and thou entered the box. “Her Majesty lmd noticed tho bracelets and was dumb with admiration; would Milady be so gracious as to allow the Em press to make a personal examination of one of the bracelets ?” In an instant the fair arm was shorn of its gems, und with a smothered ejacula tion of delight the man wearing the im perial livery bowed himself out of the box, bearing the bracelet that a million of francs could not nuichase. The curtuiu fed upon the third net, ns- conded again on the fourth, the notes of the finale rolled through the house, the curtain fell for the lust time; und still, with well-bred politeness, the wife of the Russian ambassador waited for the return of her priceless jewels. Tho imperiul par y roue and departed, and yet the bracelet was not returned. Then tho Duke, with a terrible frown of impatience, rose and drove nq4 by to the Tnileiies and demanded the ietu. n of the diamonds. Explanations followed, and the Duke was at lust convinced that the Empress had never sent for tho bracelet, and that the man wearing the imperial livery was one of the daring thieves who infested the capital. He hade his ooachuiun drive to the office of the prefect of police, and ere daylight a hundred of the shrewdest offi cers were searching Paris for the gems. The Duke, filled with anxiety, remained at the office for tidiugs, while the Duchess restlessly awaited the recovery of her bracelet at home. Tho great clock had just tolled (he hour of six when the bell of the DnkeV hotel rang violently, and an officer of the police was ushered into the presence of the Duchess. “Was the bracelet rejovored?” and “would they imprison the scoundrel for , the rest of Lis eftys? - ’ eagerly demanded tho Duchess. With a gruvo bow th>> off! er * tided that I the fhief was taken, sml upon fin, person was found the bracelet. But tho fellow stoutly insisted that he was not a thief, and that tho bracelet iu his possession had been in his family for many years. Would mndiime intrust to him the mute to the missing bracelet, that the identity might be complete ? Madame, the Duchess, without a word, unlpcked her casket and placed in the hands of the trusty officer tho second braoelet. The officer, with a profound bow, left the apartment, and madaiue re tired once'more—this time to sleep and (o dream of her precious diamonds. When the bell tolled the hoar of nine the Rus sian ambassador, haggard and disordered, entered his wife’s apartments and threw himself in despair into a chair. Madame opened her eyes, and with a smile of de light asked for the bracelets. “(Satan!” exolaimed the Duke, “wo can leuin nothiug of them.” “What!” shrieked the madams, “have you not recovered it ? The officer who came for the other bracelet said the thief had been taken aud the bracelet found.” The Duke, with an exclamation of amazement, sprang to his feet, and in a husky voice besought his wife to explain. In a few words she told him; and then, with a groan, the Duke dropped into a seat. “I see it all,” snid he; “the rascals have robbod you of the second bracelet. There was no messenger sent for the braoelet. The nmn to whom you gave it was uo officer, but a bolder thief than he who robbed you first.” And so it proved. The bracelets were never returned, and the Russian smhiwaa. dor recalls the last fete day of the fallen Emperor with a sigh, for it made him a poorer man by many millions of franos than ho wns when he handed his charming wife into his carriage and bade his ooaoh- muu drive to the opera.
