CHAPTER I.

Ben JOHNSON.
Twas a glorious sunset The sun
was Just following a habit which with
him had almost become second nature
i. &. he was sinking in the West. ! can
not exactly explain the reason, but l
have ever entertained the idea that ma
ture always wore more serene aspect
when the sun sets in the West, than when
he selects some other point of the COM
pass to hide himself from our vulgar
gaze.
The Count de Mackerell sat in his
room in the west wing of the Hotel de
Cont, in a deep reverie and a doubtful
colored shirt The stern look of his
steady eye and the convulsive twitchings
of his neither lip told that fearful and ma
lignant were the emotions then coursing
through his breast.
lie was aroused from his reverle by
the tones of the bell in the tower of his
Hotel, which was striking the hour of
seven. With a hurried movement he
sprang from his seat, and with rapid
strides he paced the floor of his rather
circumscribed apartment. There was a
lofty dignity in his step, an unnatural fire
in his eve, and hole in the toe of his
left boot. Oh it was fearful sight to
see that strong man swayed by such a
torrent of passion as seemed to burn with
d lava like intensity in his bosom, caus-
inc his nostrils to distend and his fingers
to clutch convulsively, as though he were
eagerly searching for the ghost of a dime
which had once occupied place in the
bottom of his leathern money-pouch!
ayes" he exclaimed; "'tis the hour
of seven At eight, l shall have paid
the alternative of five days, and will
then have done full justice to the hospi-

countenance-" and then-ha ha! ha I!
yes, by the blood of all the Mackereli's
that ever lived I! it SHALL be done! !"

The Vice Of Intemperance.

The civilization and refinement of the
Nineteenth Century has been sung by
poets, and celebrated by orators. Liter
ature is teeming prolific with laudations
of the progress of the age. Philosophy
claims for itself the great advancement
of man towards the goal of perfection,
and asserts as unquestioned aor, the ul-
innate perfectibility of the race. Sci
encc silently points to the Steam Engine,
and the whole world is spell-bound at its
universal adaptation to all machlnelles
and engines, that save labor and produce
comfort, supplanting brute force, and CIV
ing such wider scope to mental skill
That we are living at an important crisis
in the worlds history that there IS some
thing "new under the SUM-" that this is
essentially and eminently progressive
age, are as common aphorisms as
s'household words.'
But in all this beautiful picture, like
the spots on the suns disc, can we not
discern some blemishes? Blemishes mar
ring its fair proportions, and that force
themselves 50 disagreably upon our ap-
prehensions, not only by their own in
trinsic deformity, but by their glaring
contrast with the beauty SO profnsely
lavished all aronnd. In the brilliant So
cial organization of refined christendom,
is there not wanting some component,
or present some extraneous Substance,
that presents the completeness of the
whole Does not its delicate escutcheon
often present marks Of deflement far less
eranescent than the breathstain on glass
Is not the Crystal Goblet Of public vir-
tue as well as private affection too fire.

Is there no remedy? Can the serpent
not be driven from Eden : Or shall pos

There is one monarch, to whom even

frown, especially in republican America
all classes of society quake with fear !;
whose fats, much more than any imper-
ial ukase, are obeyed by all, as soon as
heard. Can we not intercede with this
powerful potentate to do battle on the

Exouisite Girl when last we met,
I feared thy love had ceased to be;
That from the tablets Of thy heart
Had faded every thought of me;
And that thy vows, but late so fondy breathcd,
In hate had been to Lethean heirs bequeathed!
I feared another's wooing words
Had won the heart deamed was mine
Disloged my image from thy breast,
And placed his own within its shrine,
And that no words of tenderness from me
Again might bring thrill of joy to thee
The light of love had fled thine eye,
Its smile had vanished from thy lip,
And ON thy brow there was that stern,
Determined look of "let her rip"
Which thrones itself upon the dakened brow
OF that false girl who has forgot her vow
No wonder, then, my sensitive heart
Was made to fear some wealthier beau
Had won from thee an easy YES,
And doomed me to an icy No!
For borne to death full many an age hath been
Since honest worth could whip its weight in tin
But. dearest Girl forgive the Fear
Whose dread high carnival of gloom
Filled every portal of my heart
With spectrcs from Hopes infant tomb!
Now faith revives and ON thy smile awaits
Joy springs to life, and doubt absquatulates -
Peace comes again with these sweet flowers,
Received this heavenly hour from thee,
And rends the fetters from my heart,
And sets its prisoned pulses free
Hope reappears and burns with purer flame
Love weeps no m0re-tor thou art still the same

hidden the Counts premises, and threats
of the direst vengeance enunciated against
him should he ever again darken the
Counts door with his military presence,
confirming it with most fearful and hor-
rible oath, the full and diabolical nature
of which will be shown in the sequel
The lovers, thus alone, were in the
highest state of earthly bliss, and like
DR.. Young, "took no note on time" OBJ
livious, even, of the approach of foot
steps !!
The sanguinary Count, who, the last
time we saw him, swore "it shall be
done !" was upon the threshold. Three
hops, one step and a straddle, brought
him to the middle of the room, and there
he stood, confronting the guilty Captain,
in all the dignity of insulted authority,
and the identical doubtful colored shirt
His daughter, the lovely Angelica, as in
duty bound, Immediately tainted! The
silence became awful What calm
before the devastating storm At length
the injured father, unable longer to con,
troll his fury, drew forth knife of huge
dimensions, and brandishing the glitter
ing weapon high DER his gray head, rush
ed toward his intended victim, shrieking,
in frenzied accents!
Thus far have we followed the three
principal personages, heroes and shero,
in this thrilling narrative. Its great
length and very exciting nature, coupled
with the fact that the author has sold the
copyright for an incredibly large sum
renders it impossible to give more OF il
here. The whole narrative, with what
constitutes the f" "frenzied accents" in the
