CHAPTER III.

THE R0BBERY-THE ROBBER S CAVE.
A moonlight night on the beautiful,
calm gulf of Venices The goddess of night
shines above with her full, smiling face
looking down upon the tranquil waters, al
most making one forget his troubles in
contemplating quiet natures sweet repose.
Anon beautifully emblazoned gondola
emerges from one of the canal highways of
the queen city. Sweet music greets the
listening ear, mingled with the merry laugh
of Gods last and best work, woman.
The writer and reader, being privileged
characters, will enter the gondola. Upon
it, in letters of gold, we see the name of
" CASTILLO" In it, we see CASTILLO, his
wife, Leonora, Signor Valencia and the
gondoliers. Leonora head is bowed. She
shows no emotion at the words which fall
from Valencia's lips, but in communion
with her own sad thoughts, she sits seem
ingly unconscious of the view spread out
around her.
Directly the red glare of rocket, in the
distance, is seen to shoot high up in the
air, and another is sent up by Valencia
No notice is taken of the affair; it is re
garded as pleasurable jest But swift.
nearing them is feet of gondolas. Near
er and nearer they approach and suddenl,
branching off in various directions the,
surround the uususpecting party.
shout is heard; it is the cry of brigand'
Surrounded as they are, no resistance
made, but quietly delivering up their mol

The Mothers Influence.

The solid rock which turns the edge OF the
chisel, bears forever the impress of the leaf
and the acorn received long, long since, ere
it had become hardened by time and the ele-
ments. If we trace back to its fountain the
mighty torrent which fertalized the land with
its copious streams, or sweeps over it with
devasting food, we shall find it dripping in
crystal drops from some mossy crevice among
the distant hills; so, too, the gentle feelings
and affections that enrich and adorn the heart,
and the mighty passions that sweep away all
the barriers Of the soul and desolate society,
may have sprung up in the infant bosom in
the sheltered retirement of home. :" should
have Teen an atheist" said John Randolph,
g if it had not been for one recollection and
that was the memory of the time, when my
departed mother used to take my hands in
hers, and caused me on my knees to say,
