licr bro,her, the gentleman in black, was
unremitting in his efforts 10 snorh her spirit
He led her back TO her seat; bu, her hair wa,
still unbound and her beauty unveiled Tn,
cars ratified on, and the passengers in group;
r sumad the conversations Suddenly a wild
melody arose. 1t was the beautiful maniac s
voicc-rich, full and inimrable Her hands
were crossed on her heavine bosom, and she
sang with touching parhos:
"sNe Is far from the land where har young hero sleeps
And lovers around her signing;
! But colily she turas from their gaze and wceps,
| For her heart in his yrlve 'slyn;.

only man can weep, The air changed and she
continued:
"liassorrow thy young days shaded,

Too fast have those young days fldod
That even IL sorrow sweet
Ii thus the unkind world wiher

She then sang a fragment Of that beautiful
hymn:

Another attempt to r'e up was prevented,
and she threw herself upon he, knees beside
her brother, and gave him such mounru
and entreating look, with a pantive "Snve
me, my brother save your sister" that scarcely
a passenger could refrain from weeping. We
say scarcely, for there was one man twas he

her out of the car. He received the open
scorn of the company. His insensibilines to
such a scene of distress almost defes belief !;
and yet this is, in every particular, an "oer
true tale" Should he ever read these lines,
may his marble heart be softened by the recol-
lection of his brutality.
Again, the poor benighted beauty raised her
bewitchlng voice to one Of the most solemn
sacred airs
ooh whore shall r2st be found
Rest for tho weary soul"
And continued her melancholy chant until we
reached the steamer Mount Vernon. on board
of which we descended the magnificent James
river, the unhappy brother and sister occupying
the ladies' cabin. His was a sorrow too pro-
found for ordinary consolation, aud no one
dared TO intrude so far upon his grit as to
satisfy his curiosity.
We were standing upon the promenade deck
admiring the beautiful scenery of the river.

was standing erect in the stern OF the Loat, her
