"What ails you thigDrning; Colburn ?"
asked one Of them as Clburn entered with
lowering brow and suppressed lips and
threw himself into an am chair beside the
wall.
Enough ails me " mutered he" Brown

another gambler who was engaged at the
table in playing eucher The game was
played i@nd Brown and Colburn; stepping
to one corner, remained long in secret conver-
sation.
Il would have rerenge upon him." said
Brown as they concluded the cOnversatiOn.-

the two parted:-BrOwn to continue 10 game,
and Colburn, to watch the motions Of Orlando
Warrener and Angoline Marvin
The evening was beautiful. The sun had
just sunk below the western horizon, and ha-
zy light was left over Rochester-such light
as lovers delight to wander in. Orlando and
Angeline sauntered into the garden. Angeline
was sad and thoughtful; for her encounter
with Colburn that morning had not worn off
from her mind Orlando strove to cheer her,
and he poured the balm Of love into her wound
ed heart.
1--WE viii soon be married." observed be.
And die" muttereda hoarse voice not far
from them. The lovers turned to discover
whence the sound proceeded, but could learn
nothing. Concluding it was only a creation Of
imagination, they continued their walk in 81
lence.
"The Gri6ftl, a new and splendid boat, IS
advertised to leave Buffalo tomorrow for
Cleveland" at length Orlando observed
"What do you think about taking passage on
board Of her? A pleasure trip to Cleveland
would give fine relief to your lassitude."
81 should be pleased fn visit the Forest
City, am sure" replied Angeline and the
matter was accordingly arranged
Go. and l will follow" muttered Colburn
to himself as he replaced his pistol in his
bosom, and turned to leave the garden, where
he had been concealed for the purpose Of ex-
ecuting his threat Of revenge upon Orlando
Warrener. Yes" he continued 10 mutter,
f" l will spare his lie one day, and then viii
have an opportunity to Get revenge with less
danger of detection. They shall both die. "
With fists clenched and teeth grating with fear
full and fendish determination, he sprang over
the pickets and hastened away.
The next Morning Orlando and Angeline
took the cars &C Rochester, and at night were
on board the beautiful Griffith as she shot SO
lightly off upon the wave from the pier in But
falo.
She had been a short time out when George
Colburn and bis accomplices emerged from
their state-rooms near the wheel-house, and
entered the ladies' cabin.
Colburn sought Angeline, and tortured her
with his opportunities to marry him till she
threatened to call Orlando to her assistance in
driving him away.
"It isn't worth your while" said he; Il
viii leave you for one hour, in which time you
must make up your mind whether death to
both of you is preferable to life with me-"
With these word Colburn left her, and joined
bis companions in another part Of the vessel,
where we have already introduced them.
It was after this interview that Angeline
Marvin sat with her head resting on her hand,
a perfect picture Of lovely sorrow, Withdrawn
from the festive circle that made the evening
hours speed on pleasant wings to many light
heart on board that doomed vessel.
We have told the reader in another para
graph, that after the band, Of which COlburn
appeared to be the leader, broke up their con-
sultation. he, with dark and clouded brow,
hastenedto the side Of Angeline Marvin as She
thus sat in melancholy apart from the light
hearted company.
"Well, have you made up your mind =
demanded helm hOarse grOwl as he approach
cd her.
=" Yes; never to marry you" she replied.
Enough" muttered Colburn with his teeth
see while his features became livid with rage
and hurried to his state-room near the centre
Of the boat.
Hours passed the festive mirth had ceased;
and all, save few, were locked in slumber-
Then, slowly Colburn and bis companions left
their rooms, and, turning the keys in the doors,
strobe to the deck, andsook their place near
the small-boat, that swrfng on the steamers
stern, and on their brows was he'll imprinted
