Altogether, it formed a strange contrast to the wildness und desolation around. * There was only one thing to which the most fault-finding person could object; this was the insuperable dislike of Mrs. lremewen _to smoking in the house. This may appear _ to you a very trifling drawback ; to me (as an | inveterate smoker) it was 00 small grievance. In all other respects she wasa most charming | woman, and my friend everything that was hospitable and kind. ‘ Alice will not allow any smoking in the _house, as you know,’ said my friend to me, | the firss night of my arrival; ‘ therefore, [ | have built a retreat for myself and my friends, where we can smoke in peace ; but | now that I am kept in such subjection, | only indulge in one cigar after breakfast,’ ‘ He then led the way through the garden | and plantation to a small kind of building or but, which commanded an extensive view of the sea, which now lay belore us glittering | in the bright cold moonlight of an evening | towards the latter end of Octoben On one, side was a door opening on the cliffs,through which a narrow pathway led dowa to the rugged sands, * After this, [ need not tell you I paid many # solitary visit to this retreat, and }always the Just thing at night, for at that time | imagined | could not sleep without my accustomed sedative. | had now pro- longed my visit three weeks, and we had arrived at the beginning of an unusually wild and dreary November. ‘There had al- ready been one shipwreck on the coast, and many an hour had we watched with anxious eyes trom the windows of the hut, vessels driven before the gale, seeking shelter trom the violence of the storm, fearing every moment that they would be dashed by the the fury of the wayes among those giant rocks, which, in spite of their height, were now often completel Mhidden from our sight by dei.se masses of foam. ‘One morning, a8 we were all sitting at breakfast, my friend received a letter on business which required his immediate presence in town. After he had finishsd its perusal, he turned to me and said : ‘ I shall have to leave Alice in your charge during ny absence, and I hope you will take good care of her, and (he continued, smiling) should any wrecks occur whilst I am away, do nut allow her to run down the cliffs in the middle of the night, as she once attempt- ed to do, thinking she might be of some use. * He left us the same morning, promising not to be absent many days. ‘That afternoon the weather, which had been heavy and lowering during the few preceding weeks, was at last broken up and disturbed by violent gusts of wind, accompanied by frequent hailatorms. Towards night it grew to be @ storm, and the sea rolled in upon the shore—the great waves breaking far vutside, and mist and foam darkening the sky.

That night was in- deed a terrible night for me; each moment _[ dreaded the re-appearance of that face, and the sound of the dripping water. Every | horrible circumstance was so distinctly pho tographed upon my mind, that the whole) scene was constantly before me, and | vainly | tried to sleep. The morning at length broke to my intense relief, and [ arose, feeling | faint and worn, but determined if I could to discover the cause of this midnight visita- tion. | *Leaid nothing on the subject to Mrs /Tremewen when we met at breakfast, al- | though remarking my haggard expression she asked if * { was all.’ | ‘1 left the house as early as possible, and etd t NO. 4 was traced in every pwr- | cterness uf purpose pore. He spoke bat little, and, as if impelled by _ some aang design, he took his wlone, following the windings of the read, ' the side of which the rude omen stood. " Long before noon he reached thie dreary spot, aad, dismounting from his horse, seca- red it to @ tree a short distance off, and, ap proaching the sad monument with e sorrow- ful demeanor, seated himself beside it upon a large stone. He sat a while. gasing thoughéfully at the inscription on the pedes- tal, apparently contemplating the terrible calamity to which it related, aad then, ae | if overcome by some strong inward emotion, he buried his face in his hands and wept. In this attitude he had not continued long when the sharp report of a gun rang through | the quiet wilderness, and send. the toa sense of danger.

On reaching the beach we observed several! people near the rock, to all appearance intently gazing at some ob- ject upon the sands, ‘ As it was unusual to see so many gather- ed together on that ionely shore, we hastened | towards the group, and heard that the body |of asailor had just been found, washed in close to the * Devil’sStone.’ I feltstrangely | overcome at this confirmation of the horrors of the past night, and unable to look apon He narrowly escaped the visible in bis countenance. Indeed, he a peared more to welcome the attempt upon his looked fresh and brilliant with that peculiar life just at that moment; and evinced only an eager desire to discover the author of it; It ap-| nor in that desire was he doomed to suffer much suspense, as shall be seen. He had not stood a minute when a second report rattled upon the ear, and a second bullet grazed his face. He threw his hands above his bead, as if in agony, and reeling, -fell to ‘the ground, and there to ail appearances lay dead. As he fell,his coat flew open and revealed a large knife and a brace of revolvers protruding from |a belt which girded his waist; and that cir- cumstance would have suggested the thought that there was a covert design in his falling had anything occurred to cast a doubt on the belief that he was not shot. Scarcely was he down when half a dozen men, most wild and desperate ‘the disfigured form that [ knew lay before in appearance, ruse from the thick brushwood me, lest I should again behold what was so) painfully impressed upon my imagination; but, with a strong effort, I at last forced my way through the crowd, and saw, lying at) /my feet, a fearfully mutilated corpse, in| every respect resembling the form I had so lately seen. * By the initials marked upon bis arm in sailor faghion, and by the silver watch, which he had evidently knotted round his parish, who had left about eighteen months before for India, and was returning by a homeward bound vessel to his friends. ‘It became the sorrowful duty of Mr. Harding, as clergyman of the parish, to in- form his widowed mother of the loss of her only son, but IJ did not add to her grief by telling her of the more painful circumstances attending his death. * You will ask what could have been the reason of this appearance to me, an utter | Stranger?

Be that as it may, the apparition did not again return to me, neither did I ever hear ot its appearance to others. Of the ship in which the poor young fellow was lost, no thing was ever heard. A few planks and a figure-head, with the name of the vessel, washed on the beach, were all that was ever known of its fate. It must have perished on its homeward voyage not far from its des- tination, in one of those frightful gales which had made many a home desolate. ‘I did not, as you may suppose, after this resume my nightly visits to the smoking- room, and soon after bade ‘adieu’ to the gret. wens,’ but have never been induced to re- visit‘ Tremewen Grange.’ ——_--~ape-- THE BROTHER'S VENGEANCE. neck with his handkerchief just before the | vessel sunk, the body was recognized as that) ofa young man belonging to a neighboring | buried the spirit haunted the lonely shore, Cornish coast, [ cannot say with much re- | I have often since then met the ‘ Treme- | Gad third Weoxssocrinevery mouth; and thata Netice be published in the Korat Gazetra news- paper, stating that all nccvunts azuinst the Govern Peake, Bus. & Co mest, a6 also all Communications addressed to D Aus Excelleucy in Council, are required to be left wit® the Cleck of the Conueil on or before THE DaY Paesrieve tu the meeting of the Bourd ___ CHARLES DESBRISAY, CE C_ IRON. 233 BARS 1 inch ROUNDILRON.

Ono euch @ night the im- |agination naturally turns to the horrible ; and as we drew our chairs closer to the fire, we began to speak of the unseen world and | unearthly visitants.

I at last reached my destination. On three sides of the building were windows, one opening towards the sea.

Within the room, banging on the walls, were sad relics of many a@ gallant ship which had gone down, and whose crews had never survived to tell the dreadful tale, fragments of wreck, figure-heads, and other ghastly memorials bearing witness to the merciless nature of that fearfulcoast.

On the pedestal of the cruss | were engraved a few lines, in the language | der, perpetrated upon three hapless beings— | spread over the irregular surface of the ground to the left of the read and darted forward with savage yells toward the place where they were confident they had felled the unhappy traveller.

One of the other three turned upon bis heels as if to flee, but bis 4esign was anticipated, and the unfortunate villian shared the fate of his brothers in guilt. The two that remained saw more danger in an attempt tu escape than in an assault, and, therefure, quickly levelling their pieces they fired, and then talling on their hands and knees rushed upon the traveller, who, anticipating their intention, darted behind the croas.in time to avoid the shots, and then discharged in quick succession the remaining barrels of bis sotliban at the approaching desperados. One of them received two bullets in his head, but the other, the more gigantic, and far more powerful of the two, cawe ouward unharmed, with a large knife clutched in his right hand, and a look of exiceme desperation in his face and manner. The traveller now was left with no means of defence but his knife, which he quickly drew trom his belt, ae he precipitated himself towards the bandit, thinking to take him at disadvantage while in bis creeping position; but the villian was in the exereise of bis vocation, whick be had practised, perhaps, from boyhood, and to have taken bin at odds at such a crisis, after having witnessed all his comrades fali around him, and knowing his own safety to exist in prowess and dexterity alone, would have been singular indeed, , su, before his toe could reach him, he had regaia- ed his feet, and confronted him with flashing eyes and livid lids, displaying the mingled terror and ferocity that possessed him—like the tiger which characteristics of the place in which the has suddenly been prought face to face with the lion; for there was something in the appearance supererogatory, or, at least, more than the ©! the traveller which seemed to awe the stalwart re c.
