ed along the coast, it seemed phantom boat con-
veying the spirits of the departed mariners from the
scene Of their gloomy exit.
But the beauty of the rising sun, the majestic roll
ofthe lately stomtost pillows, the scenes of devas-
faton which the coast presented, and the silent de-
parure Of the little unknown skff, though collect
ssly presenting that morning picture full of rich
and touching interest attracted but secondary de-
gree Of notice. No ore left the wreck until the
surviving sufferers had been conveyed on shore,
and the property safe in the charge fthe wreck
master. We then returned to the boarding house,
fatigucd and exhausted and sat down to an excel
lent and acceptable meal.
But breakfast was not over before an alarm was
given, The pretty invalid girl, whom her brother
had given as prisoner into the hands of the domes-
lies i'll the night, was no where to be found She
had escaped from her window Search far and near
was made, and at last she was given up for lost
The general supposition was irresistible that she
vas drowned. That in the despair of her excited
ceilings she had thrown herselfinto the sea.
The brother was nconsolabe for her loss Now,
when the opportunity of PREPARATION was past, he
cursed his own unfeelng conduct, and declared
hat therecolectono of sisters sufferngs and death
would haunt him to his dying day. The shore was
diligently searched for the body, but in vain and
"a few months after splendid monument rose
% her memory i'll Philadelphia under the direction
Of her relatives But the days and years passed on
that monumental fhddenn tall grass of the church
yard, ceased notice the brother removed to the
south and the name of the unfortunate girl ceased
10 be spoken, her virtues, her endurance, and
her fate, ceased to be remembered.
Il is thus that time in his triumphant course,
prosrates and obliterates the mutable associations
Of the world at one moment breaking in upon the
peaceful circle Of relatives and friends, and calling
one and another unexpectedly away and then breath
ing upon the frail monuments of past affection and
whitening the flowers of memory. There is not
solitary grave but gives example of the former;
and but few, indeed, that do not bring forcibly to
mind the latter We die and are forgotten A
tear, sigh, perhaps one pious ejaculation, or pray
er, and the earth is shoyelled in upon the coffin
iii the place of sepulturc is left and the letters
that mark the spot obliterated the once below
cd form commingles with the dust, and if ever it
occupies one wandering thought, it is when we APP
proach the grave and contemplate the end of the
Journey of life
But this is DEPRESSION, and perhaps an improper
one in this place. The footstep of frequent vis-
tant, indeed, was not seen among the green grass
that surrounded the monument Of NJ but there was

| no longer flowed for while she gazed on the Sic
cessor to her fathers domains in silent admiration
the wounds her breast had received gradually heal
ed, and thousand delicious sensations swelled her
tender heart.
The count d'ArvilIe was very young, beautiful,
tall graceful, and engaging he had not yet dispos-
ed OF his heart, and thought Clara and Antonette
twovery amable and beautiful women The spright-
illness Of the former charmed him. and the artless
beauty Of the latter called forth all his admiration
but he had not yet decided to which to give his
heart.
Antoinette's returning gaety delighted the anna
bic Clara, who lived but in the happiness of her Sis
ter; and to her smile was the highest gratifca
ton she derived, the company of the count except
ed DArville's stay at the castle far exceeded the
time he had at first proposed yet he knew not how
to tear himself from the enjoyment of the company
of the amiable ladies. Dissatifed with himself for
not knowing his own heart and quickly deciding
which Of the two held him in chains, he at length
prepared to probe the wound he had received; and
after mature examination, found that the bright
eyes of Clara had instantaneously pierced him.
With this conviction, he day sought his ensay-
er, and opened to her the secrets of his heart Cla.
ra blushed and, with liberal candour confessed a
similar attachment The Count appeared in rap
lures, and the heart of Clara throbbed with the
lvelicst JOY. To the sister of her affections she
prepared to communicate her happiness but what
was her emotion on behodng Antoinctte's counte-
nance changed from burHing blush to an ashy
paleness and, being repulsed with GOODNESS, the

they did she gave vent 10 her suppressed tears
Antonette did not attempt to interrupt them but
sat by her side, mountully gazing at the castle,
ever and anon heaving deep-drawn sigh. Clara
at length recovered from her emotion and, taking
the hand ofAntoinette, with aectionate pressure,
asked if she found herself better. Her sister spoke
but the inquiry remained unanswered.
