THE VICTORY OF MARION.

-IThe,C CaroIiuians had fallen. Their chiel
city was 10 the hands of the enemy, wn:le
the latter overran all parts Of the province
with impunity. But that wave which
threatened to o.erwhelm and destroy every
yesiage of lioerty with its resistless power
and volume, at last began to recede and
threatened in turn the perpetrators Of those
acts Of tyranny and oppress;on-the distur-
bers Of tbs tranquil sea. The feeble bands
Of which still hovered round the standard
Of freedom stung to the quick by the acts
of their ruthless foes, and led by Marion and
other noble spirits. though at first despised,
soon made their efforts tell for the glorious
cause in which they were engaged.

opens. ~ sz-0oagoo GeIs ,g5la +.
The sun had sunk behind the western

At this hour, upon the verandah of
noble mansion, which reared its rarely
stately walls from slight eminence on the
banks Of the Black Mingo. were seated two
persons. The first was the daughter Of the
proprietor of the estate, As To her fea
tures, suffice il 10 say the world called her
beautiful. Her companion was a young
man, His features were regular, and would
have been called handsome, were it not for
their sinister expressions. He was dressed
in the complete uniform of his British maj
esty's service, he being Lieutenant in the
army of the crown. The interview be-
tween the two was evidently embarrassing,
for the countenances of both were flushed,
and on the face fihe maiden there lurked
an expression ofpain. For a while neither
spoke, and the silence was painful, when
the young man at las. exclaimed: 7 .gHiu
