to time, as if to listen to some sound or
signal that he appeared to expect.
Signal there was none. But a sudden
turn IN the path displayed to our hero,
for we need no longer attempt to con-
ceal his identity, the beautiful sheet of
water that we have referred to; and in
another moment, the gentle plash Of
paddle directed his attention to an object
upon the water, that was approaching
the spot where he was standing.
Brief as was the interval occupied by
the hight progne i'll reaching the shore
upon which our hero stood, to his inpa-
tent spirit the few short moments of de-
lay appeared like the period of agony
that the victim, stretched upon the rack.

ment the frail Chreen- OH l-Leen-we mean
the frail dng-out, had stranded upon the
sllvery beach, and our heroine, for it
was shc-was clasped in the arms of her
lover.
The flight of Chreen- Oh-Leen-for of
our 1000 fair readers we estimate that

CHAPTER VI.
1t was Autumn. The green mantle
which had been spread over the waving
woodlands of the Hah-C Cha-Fah-L Leigh
All, and upon which the artistic finger,
of Mademoisclle Flora had wrought sucl
wonderful embroidery, was assuming as
many different hues as the variegatcd
coat in which Joseph cut such a swell
in the eyes Of his envious brethren. The
motley livery of brilliant October would
soon be exchanged for Summers festive
greenery; the hoarse signing of the Au-
tumnal winds for the gentle whispering
of the Summers breeze; the crisp hoar.
frost for the night-fog, that covered the
fields like snow-white fleece in the
bright moon-beams. Now some folks
may think that poor Nature is very much
to be pitied for all these changes, but
AS the historian of these pages is a great
admircr of the good lady, aud naturally
endowed with great deal Of constancy,
he cannot help limiting, as his opinion,
that she looks quite IS captivating in
her Fall bonnet, as she ever did in her
best Summer bib and tucker.
The fair Chrecn.Oh-Leen was herself
again. Every day" to use Flemish
"added fresh grapes to the
vintage of her health" Every day her
spirits seemed more fresh and buoyant,
as though in each bright sunrise she
read the promise of brighter hope; for
the soothsaying Of the Chaldean Astrol.
,ger was but an idle speculation, COM
pared with the certainty that, ere twenty
suns had risen and set, the wandering
Noses would again return from his cratic
and bear the trusting and
constant Chreen- Ol-Leen to refuge safe
rom all future storms of doubt and
,ut we must not anticipate

The end of Autumn was approaching.

through the leaaess branches of the

ages had guarded the domain of another
race, which has long since passed away.
