mured-"the morrow will see me a bandits bride.
|, whom my proud sire intended for mobiles
wife, am far away from his palace, a wretched
fugitive, soon to be disowned and thrust forth as
no longer member of that once happy home,''
And the morrow, saw all this fulfilled!
In small and half-ruined chapel, some few
miles from Venice, stood an oldpriest, whom Car
10 had brought thither and bribed to secresy; and
before small alter that had first belonged to a
Temple of Bacchus, and still retained about it the
marks and decorations denotng its former use,
but on which now appeared a silver crucifx, two
mass books, silver chalice and Latin Bible
and over which swayed in the night air silver
Greek lamp, shedding out ftful, uncertain CLEAN
upon the surrounding gloom-here did. the high
born Lucrezia Rrevorra take upon herself the vows
of bandits bride, and pronounce the irrevocable
monosyllable which sealed her fate

is strange that even thou canst not see that Carlo
is lured hither by other charms than gold, ,"-said
Martin, who seemed to hold control over all his
companions; and he continued-sBut let us now
leave our chief for awhile, and pay our devotions
for one night to this right excellent wine. By
Bacchus tits the best that has passed my lips
since served under the brave Don Jose Verbriez,
and we robbed the wine merchant. Comrades,
shall tell you the story of that night! Did you
ever hear it!''
AYE, many times,' was the reply, "but repeat
it once again, for I rather think it improves the
more we hear it,-even as this good wine seems
to possess richer flavor the oftener it is tasted'
and then, to illustrate this very forcbe argument
the last speaker quaffed another goblet of the
sparkling beverage, which example was speedily
followed by the others, as they lazily disposed
themselves upon their couches to listen to the Oft
repeated narrative.
But, reader, begging your pardon for thus ex-
citing your curiosity without gratifying it, we will
transport you to Venice; and in Imagination, let
US go back year prior to the events related in our
first chapter.

and only yours. Henceforward mine is no half
aoay love.''
And so the hours passed swiftly onward-hours
laden with happiness and bliss; and the fair moon
has nearly dipped her crescent in the eastern
waves ere the citizen-lover rose to depart.
"And now, let love and caution be our watch
word,' murmured Piero, as Lucrezia unclosed
the Venetian blind for him to pass.
Bidding hasty adeu, Pierio sprang into his
gondola, and in another moment was gliding down
that silent and voiceless seattle Adriatic.
Still he rowed on, until the Lido was passed;
and then he ceased rowing so rapidly and sailed
leisurely along, humming the refrain of light
Italian air. And the young moon hid her cres-
cent in the waters, and the twnkling stars peeped
out from their heaven homes as if gazing lovingly
upon the green earth and the quiet waters which
lay sleeping in beauty beneath.

Il WAIT FOR THEE.

: y. ~ - b
The hearth is swept, the fire is bright,
The kettle sings for tea;
The cloth is spread, the lamps are light,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now wait for thee.
Come home, love, home-thy task is done;
The clock ticks isteningly;
The blinds are shut, the curtain down,
: The warm chair to the fireside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, home--his deep, fond eye
Looks round him wistfully,
And when the whispering winds go by,
Asif thy welcome step was nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain; he finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
So soearnestly that yet again
His form unto my heart strain
That glance is SO like thine.
Thy task is done-we miss thee here,
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No heart will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like these will wait thee home.
5 Atlast along the crisp walks fast
That well known step doth come;
The bolt is drawn, the gate is past.
The babe is wild with joy at last
A thousand welcomes home

SPIRIT OF '76-The Wings of Cambridge, Indi-
ana, held meeting on Thursday evening last,
which breathed of the spirit of '76. The assem-
blage was large and enthusiastic It had been an
nounced publicly that Patrick Clarity, son of
" Erin's Green lsle," would address his fellow
countrymen on the occasion, and expose the false
hoods thrown upon the character of Winfield Scott
by the so-cailed Democracy. Although the LOcos
had threatened his life ,Dith the mob, still Patrick
Clarity, undaunted, stood up and eloquently ex-
posed the fasebood, and the policy of Locofocoism
to his countrymen. He eoquently alluded to the
hostility of Locofocosm against internal improve
ments. Said he: "Fellow -Irishmen, it is Wing
policy that builds our railroads and canals, gives
us labor for our support; while Locofocoism would
silence the workshop, and supply the people from
the manufactures of Birmingham and Leeds I"
Mr.. g remarks were listened to with the utmost
attention. and had the right effect upon his
trymen. Mr.. G. is ready debater, and very ia
miliar with the principles of our Government. As
soon foreigners understand the character of the
two parties, they no longer fight under the So
called Democratic banner. Cambridge ReueiHe

The steamship Mexico. Captain Place, arrived
yesterday from Galveston, which place she left on
the 2Sth ultimo. ......
The new county of Burnet was organized in the
forepart of July. Almost the only settlements in
this county are in Hamilton Valley. which is said
to be Of the most healthy and beautiful parts
Of the State. quarry of excellent marble has
been found in this valley, and the block Of marble
sent by the Governor to the Washington Monu-
ment was taken from it.
The San Antonio Western Team says that Mr..
w. F. Smiths train arrived at that place on the
18th instant, having made the trip to Chihuahua
| and back, by way Of FL Paso, in three months and
fourteen days. His trip has not only been rapid
but successful. Accompanying the train were
Lieutenants Smith and T'iilinghast, United States
army, also Messrs. Snowden, Won Nipple, and
Johnston, who came passengers.
Trade at chihuahua is reported dull. No rain
had fallen for long time, and much alarm was
felt that the corn crop would be a failure The
Indians very troublesome in and around Chi
huahua. In some instances Mexcans had been
killed almost in the very streets OF the city. No
means had been adopted to arrest or put an end to
their depredations. In fact, there is an apathy
about the people that is, and will continue to be,
fatal to their prosperity.
Trade was at a stand still at Ell Paso. There
appears to be money in the country. The
Indians above Ell Paso still continue very trouble
some.
1t was reported that Captain Longs company of
Californians had lost all their animals some thirty
or forty miles above Ell Paso. Another company
had lost all of theirs before reaching FL Paso.
Great numbers had passed through on their way
to California. One of the companies buried nine
of their number on the road. All appeared to be
in good spirits, notwithstanding their misfor-
tunes.
The same paper says that Captain Shaw, who is
raising one of three companies ordered out by the
Governor for the protection of the Rio Grande, is
in San Antonio with portion Of his men filling
up his muster roll, equipping and procuring sup.
plies. Among those enrolled are Lieutenant
Burleson, and quite number Of others who for
merly served in Captain Ford's company. These
men are used to camp life, and most of them have
seen real service.
