with rebel. Robert was now the heir o
all his uncls's immense wealth, and thus, il
this respect, rendered a fit match for biz
daughter. Separate them he could not;
therefore he determined to permit the young
mans visits, while he withheld his consent
to their union-a an accommodation which the
lovers interpreted as an unqualified permis.
sion.
Waldeck, unable to endure the loathing
Of his fellow men, died by his own hand
and few days after the funeral Of John
Dewrie, his remains were consigned to an
unhonored grave. -- -i'
In the battle of Bunker Hill; which occur
red shortly after the events we have narrated,
Robert Dewrie and Colonel Powell were in
the ranks of the combatants. But both es-
capped unhurt. Before the evacuation Of
Boston the latter was seized with an epidem-
ic fever, which, notwithstanding the devoted
care of his daughter, carried him off and left
her with no protector in s.foreign land. Ro-
bert, in disguise, visited the city, and contri-
we'd to convey her, with her own consent, to
the house of a relative in Cambridge. Az
the departure Of the British they were mar.
ried.
In the war of the Revolution, Robert
Dewrie was an active participant, and at its
close was Colonel in the Massachusetts,
forces, having attained to his honors with
his own good sword. When the din of bat
tie was no more heard in the land, he retired
to private lie, to rejoice in the love of his
devoted wife, who still wears on her finger
the precious jewel which established her
husbands innocence-the Diamond Ring"

! Alwaysi In the child, the maiden, wlth
the wife, mother, religion shines holy, be-
nignant beauty of its own, which nothing
on earth can mar. Never yet was the f.
male character perfect without the steady
faith of piety. Beauty, intelligence, wealth )
they are pitfalls, dark, in their brightest day,
unless the divine light, throws her di-
vine beams around, to purify and exalt, ms
king twice glorious that which seemed all
loveliness before.
Religion is very beattiful-it health o.
sickness, in wealth or poverty. We netef
enter the sick chamber Of the good, but soft
music seems to float on the air, and the bur-
then of their songs, Lo peace is here !"
Could we look into thousands Of families
today, when discomfort sits lighting sullenly
with life, we should find the chief cause Of
unha ppiness, want of religion in woman.
And in felons' cells-in places OF crime,
misery, destitution, ignorance-we should
behold in all its most horrible deformity, the
fruit of irrelgion in woman.
oh, religion benignant majesty, high on
thy throne thou sittest, glorious and exaltedl
Not above the clouds, for earth-clouds new
er come between thee and the truly P'ous
soul-not beneath the clouds, for above the
is Heaven opening through broad vista Of
exceeding beauty.
Its gates shine in the splendor OF jasper
and precious stones, white with dewy i'ght
that neither llashes nor blazes, but steadily
proceedeth from the throne of God. It's
towers bathed in refulgent glory ten times
the brightness of ten thousand suns, yet soft,
undazziling to the eye.
And there religion points. Art thoa wea-,.
ry, it whispers, "rest-up there-forever."
Art thou weighed down with unmeTited ig-,,
nominy! "kings and priests in that home"
Art thou poor! "the very street before thy
mansion shall be gold" Art thou friend
Iessl "the angels shall be thy companions
and God thy friend and father"
Is religion beautiful! We anwser' all
is desolation and deformity where religion
is not.

CHAPTER TX.
THE RET VAULT.

Amelia, agreeably to the inutructions oI
the pretended conjurer, had begged and en-
treated Waldeck to institute rigorous search
for the lost ring. She had so we'll acted her
part that the goldsmith was fully impressed
with the value of the service he should con-
fer by the discovery 3f it.
AS to the fact of the ring being on the
finger of John Dewrie at the time of his dis.
appearance, he had no knowledge. The
first intimation he had of it, was from Colo
mel Powell. He had reviewed all the cir
'cumstances connected with the murder, en-
'deavoring to satisfy himself whether, con-
sistently with his own safety. he could pro-
,duce the ring, and propitlate the favor of
Amelia by restoring it. The parties inter.
ested believed the ring to have been on the
murdered goldsmith's finger; but could he
not say he had found it concealed In the
shopi So strong was his desire to concili-
ate the young girl that he resolved to ven-
ture the act, and trust to circumstances to
serify his statement in case there should be
any doubt.
twas the night Of the day following his
interview with the astrologer, that, having
brought his mind to this resolution, he light
ed lantern and descended to the cellar
He had scarcely disappeared, when the door
communicating with the back parlor was
stealthily opened, and man groped his way,
with a noiseless step, through the shop to
Che trap-door. 1t was Robert Dewrie. He
was dressed in the garb of seaman, his
face half concealed by huge pair of false
Nhiskers. While the terrible imputation of
murder was attached to his name: he ceased
hot for q moment his vigilence in the at
tempt t. criminate the man through whose
crime, he suffered. Having key to the
back door of the house, which he had pro-
cured to favor his, nocturnal excursions in
the cause of liberty, he had frequently ad-
mittedi himself to the house for the purpose
of watching Waldeck. All his hopes de-
pended upon his success in exposing the
true criminal.
Waldeck had closed the trap-door after
his descent, and Robert stood some time
near 1t, perplexed for the means of opening
it without noise. The singular movements
of'Waldeck assured him that something
more than was known to him was conceal.
ed in the cellar. His promise to Amelia to
institute q new search for the ring inspired
him with the hope that the present visit to
fhe cellar was connected with that object
Ne must enter the cellar, even Of the risk
Of exposing his presence in the house, He
sassd not for his own discovery; he only
