What night did pass From life of splendor

had been the ornament and idol. too had been
the principal cause of the evils brought upon her
How could cure the heart which had wounded
How could presume to offer tenderness to her
For myself, had endured poverty and could ca
silly meet it agan-but how could l announce to
herl loved, that had brought upon her SO many Of
the evils that make up the long list of human mise

difference to her-I not only to be banshed
from those eyes whose light had been life and Joy
to mel was not to behold in them mere GOODNESS
but contempt and horror. Despised by the wo-
man adored, and deprived even of the right of
complaint, nay, abhorred by myself, remorse came

the pail of death over the brilliant horizon of Auro

in the grave from the degradation into which had
plunged her. Think you l slept that night without
these appalling visions passing in succession, and
returning before my view
All night it raned, that the roads between Mon

vented me from sending for those things that we
were in pressing need OF, and contributed to rem

The man who loves is always ready to confde in
his mistress One calm word is sufficient to calm
all the tortures that he may endure. Notwthstand-
ing the cold dsdan of Aurora trusted in the good
of her heart, not thinking how natural it
be, that her heart should be filed with nothing but
gall for me. still therefore retained the hope of
being pardoned. l saw her even smile on listening
to the plans which love had marked out for our flu
til cruel event occurred, which blotted it forever
away. 1t was eight days after my arrival at the vii
lage. The morning beautiful. The reveries
of the night had made me happy and prolonged my
sleep beyond the usual hour. when my father awoke
me and delivered two letters to me- The first was
from my friends at Lyons. They told me in it that
they were satisfied with my conduct and they were
willing to afford the of lettering my con-
dition. They assured me that had not expended
the one-third Of the sum which they had devoted
to vengeance and that through friendship to me,
and for several reasons, the remainder of it was
placed in the hands of banker in LYONS, subject
to my order. Those clothes and ornaments with
which had cheated the creduty of foolish father,
and his vain daughter, were also returned to me-
They recommended Aurora to my care, and ex-
pressed regret that revenge had been carried too
far. Finally, that if chose to enter into business,
they would be ready to afford me every assistance
in their power
All the difficulties of my condition seemed at
once disspated. Iopened the otherle letter. 1t

still felt for me, Notwithstanding my conduct to-
wards her, had made her arrange matters so that
before the receipt Of her letter she would be beyond
the gates of Lyons. To free herself from my hated
presence she intended to enter convent. She
frankly avowed herself my enemy; and declared
her intention of bringing me and nv comrades be-

THE NORTH CAROLINA.

We have seen letter from a gentle
man on board the U. S. ship North
Carolina, to his friend in this city, da
ted Gibraltar Bay, May 18th. The
writer says they had fine run across
the Atlantic; and that the ship proves
TO be a remarkably fine vessel, and
much faster than was anticipated, hav-
ing gone eleven and twelve knots with
out all her sails set. 1t was believed
generally on board that she would out
sail the Constitution, and if so, would
be the fastest vessel in the service.
Governor O'Donnell, Of Algeziras,
had paid visit to the ship; he express
ed himself highly pleased with the APP
pearance of the vessel and crew; and,
rendering his thanks TO the officers for
his polite reception, offered his best
services 10 the Commodore.
