He then conversed with het on their future prospects, and laid down many • visionary scheme of bliss. Its this delight ful converse they renosined till late in the evening; the full moon beamed brightly over the scene— the nightingale's sweet and plaintive song thrilled through the woods—the lovers seemed alone in the world, and all the world to each other. They parted reluctantly at Montana's house, where her female attendants received her. lit the morning they heard that Tait& had left the island, mid rejoiced in his departure, which they attributed to shame and remorse fur his outrageous behaviour. No further obstacle impeding the wishes of the lovers, their nuptials were celebrated • few day, afterwards with due solemnities and njoicings. The Karig and all die principal chiefs, s o whom hlalohi was drserv.dly dear, attended the festivity. The snarly, an extensive lawn before the royal mansion, was the scram of the nuptial rejoicings. At one end of it the King, the principal chiefs, the bride and bridegroom, were seated to witness the iterfortmence of the day. At a little distance from them, the most plentiful supply of provisions was arranged for distribution after the games. Baked pork, the flesh of a particular species -of doge fattened for the purpose, bananas, yams. and cocoas formed the chief articles of the feast. Near these fifty singers and musicians sat in order on the grass. Some of them beat a drum, consisting of • cylindrical piece of hollowed •wood, covered with skin; others played on a sort of sticcallo, or in. atrument composed of pieces of hard wood of d.f. ferent bites, by striking which they 'produced the various notes; others again performed on different sorts of flutes, all of which were played by the breath of the nostrils. The singers raised their voice. in harmony with the instruments, and chariot ed the delights of love and the reward of valour.

Au immense fanlike plume of long scarlet tail feathers overspread their Iterate, the fronts of which were made to resemble the hideous Neck of evil spirits. They were armed with clubs lighter than those used lie war, and wish pointlesv veers.

By degrees the music, rising louder and quicker, excited a martial sensation in every bosom. The two divisions of warriors separated to r weld dist. trace, and threw their spears with prodigious force and unerring aim, but with similar dexterity all avoided the blows. nen, raising their war cry, they euehed together with their clubs, and fought as if life or liberty were at stake. But in these games regulations were adopted for preventing the usel-ss wiette of life, anti preventing the fatal effects of irritation.

" Son of the weak and foolish," slid he " erase to exhaust thy puny strer.gth in contending with men; a foe expects thee, whose attacks will require thy utmost force. Cais'et thou beat off -the waves of ocean ? Quest thou wrestle with the rising waters? Soon, in the agonies' of drowning, thy clinking spirit shall vainly curse its presumption in aspiring to the chosen bride of 'rands." Malohi attempted to reply. Not instantly re ceived a blow on the mouth from one of the guards, winle others forced • piece of wood into his mouth, which they fastened so as to prevent his speeking; they then tied his hands and feet together. At the continent! of Takao, they hurried the unfortunate youth down to the beech, and threw his,, into a canoe, into which two of them followed him. They instantly begun to paddle not to sea, towing with them an old leaky boat, in which their prisoner was to he left bound, gradually to shill. Already it was half filled with water, and continued to fill ra pidly. Malohi beheld with horror the miserable fate to which he was devoted ; but when he thought • of that which awaited Mamma, his agony became insupportable. The insulting conqueror stood on the beach eagerly watching the progress of the ves sel, which had now reached the intended distance; the rowers, with refined cruelty, took the gag from their prisoner's month, that their chief might enjoy the fiendish pleasure of hearing his despairing cries and execrations. 'Fite dreadful moment was now arrived. One of the men began to haul the leaky canoe alongside of that in which they were. As he stoop. ed, his companion, raising his paddle, shtick him a dreadful blew on the head, which stunned lion ; be fell dead into the sea. The man who had performed this extruo►dinary action, quickly cut the cords by which Malohi was bound, and point ing to the shore, where the chiefs and warriors were fast flinching their canoe., with terrible outrits, to pursue them, bade tM•slohi to pull with all his might. He obeyed in silence. They made for a rocky and uninhabited part of the crust, with the desperate energy of men struggling for life. But they roon yaw the sindictive Tutors, with many °they strenuously labouring to overtake them. The canoes of the pursuers were each rowed by several men ; and they soon gained upon the fugitives, whose strength began to fail. In vain the latter redoubled their efforts ; their powers were exhan,ted : and Taiora's canoe came swiftly on. The triumphant menaces of that terrible chief resounded in their ears as they doubled the angle or a jutting rock, and entered a pool homed in a recess of its lofty perpendicular bide. Malohi, seeing no outlet for escape, uttered a deep groan. " Now follow me," said Iris compa nion, and dived into the sea. Without hesitation Malohi fullowid him. The pursuers in a fee mo. atoms canto up with the empty canoe; and when they found that their destined victims had precipi. tried themselves into the ocean to rscapt their cruelly, their disappointment broke out in dreadful etocrationa. Meantime the unfortunate Mamma, on recover ing Irma her swoon, found herself in an apartment of the house alikh hail lately been the Kin t ea, ut tended by two of !ter own women. They informed her that several of their companions had been killed in the late dreadful affray, and the rest enslaved by the ileums people; and that the house in which they were was strongly guarded. From them also she teamed the fate to which her lover bad been condemned, and which they imagined he had suf. fered. At this dreadful intelligence her grief *as unbounded ; she seised a sharp instrument that lay accidentally near her, and wounded her face arid head in several places ; tore her beautiful hair, and throwing herself on the grnund, abandoned herself entirely to her grit f, iitteritig the most piteous cries. lit this state she way found by Titian oat his retain. flee vwullrn steel bleeding face, her torn and staled garments, her scattered tresses, and the extrava gance of her sorra., protected her fur the time from the wild passions of the chief. He gave orders fur every attention to her accommodation, and retired to inediude and ripen a new and important scheme. In rouriting from their fruitless pursuit, the fla moswarriors had perceived 3 small European vessel in the offing, which was evidently endeavouring to make Vivito°. Titian was desirous of taking this yessil ; and as that could only lie effected by stra tagem, he had appointed* consultation of chiefs at the louse of the god Toottonga. The priest of Tonitotiga was the oracle of these islands. He kept up a daily intercourse with his divinity, and tuella:zed his replies with so much ad. dress, that they were generally sure of being con firmed by 'venni. To maintain the dignity of the divinity tie represented, he often judged it eye. theist to require a Moulin sacrifice; and such was hie influence, that even when lie Humid for that purptese the children of the most distinguished per sons in the island, their parents never withheld them horn his sanguinary grasp. lie was maintained in the most luxurious manner lay the devout natives, who carried hint plenty of dainties winch, lie as sured thein, was the most agrteable service they could resider to heaven.
