At this juncture Bellerus returned in
haste, and there was u look Of trouble up
on his brow. He closed the door behind
him and then turned towards our hero.
"Afaric," he said, evidently striving
to assume a calmness which he did not
feel, i have you any reason to suppose
that your entrance into the city this eve

youth,
"I'll tell you," answered Bellerus. I

come from the Southern gate. They said
that Greek vessel was seen upon the
coast this morning, and that some one
landed from her. also made out, from
their conversation, that the king had been
informed of the fact, and that be had
given orders that every stranger who en-
tered the city should be watched, and in
telligence of his Whereabouts conveyed to
him."

But before we wait for that we'll take
some steps of our own," cried Ianthe.
"Some safe hiding-place must be found"
Alarlc was upon the point of speaking
when loud knocking was heard without,
and voice demanded entrance, in the
name of the king.

lover by the arm.
"Hold," spoke Bellerus, who became
calm in the presence OF this necessity. 8 II
he flies he will not escape now, for our
house may be watched upon all hands

Another laundering knock was heard

CHAPTER III.
DARKNESS AND DOOM.

Pyrrho, king of Sicily, sat upon his
throne of gold and precious stones, and
about him we're few of the hardened,
cruel subservient men whom he dared to
trust. He was a midde-aged man; short
and clumsy in stature with a face broad
and brutal in its expression, and strongly
marked by dissipation and debauchery.
If he had ever possessed the assurance OF
brave man, he had lost it now, and his
only hopes of safety were in the willing
swords about him, and in the terror which
his cruelty inspired The light from three
huge chandeliers Of massive gold cast a
strange luster over the large apartment
the beams being here reflected from pol
ished mirrors there from pillars of marble
and porphyry and anon taking deeper
hues from the gaudy tapestry that hung
upon the walls.
II would like to know who this stran-
ger can be-" said the monarch, turning to
his chamberlain.
"Ah-here comes the lieutenant We
shall see "
There was movement among the guard
at the lower end of the chamber, and
presently an officer approached the throne.
leading Alaric by the arm.
A" Is he unarmed ?" the king cried as
his eye rested upon the youths tall and
sinewy frame.
HE is, sire We found only simple
sword upon him. and that we took from
him. "
A contemptuous look overspread the
youths face as he thus found monarch
so fearful but when he gazed full upon
the features of the tyrant who had slain
his loved kindred, an expression of deadly
hate swept over his noble brow, and a
keen fire burned in his dark eye.
"Ye gods" gasped the king, as he
caught full view of the youths face,
with this deep expression from the soul
upon it. ''what have we here2 Come no

Had the sword of death been at that
moment suspended over cur hero's head,
and ready to fall at breath, he could
not have curbed the emotions that swelled
in his soul. In all his nature there was
not one principle or incentive that could
lead him to bow and cringe before one
whom he so utterly despised and detested.
Had he thought of the future. he might
have spoken differently; but he thought
only of the present and the past-he
thought only OF the bloody wrongs that
had been done, and he allowed his soul
to have full sway.

full into Pyrrho's face.

BY ED WARD SPENCER.

l frequently heard from the Orfords
during the first six months after their de-
parture from B, and was glad to
know that they were prosperous and happy.
About the expiration of this time, re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Oxford, in which
he notified me of his daughters marriage
te young merchant-she herself adding
in postscript these words: My dear
friend shall one of these days be made ac.
quainted with my husband, who is the
dearest man, and he will in the meantime
assure himself that Mary is perfectly
happy
After this, year or more elapsed in
which I but seldom heard from them, and
l had begun to think myself forgotten in
the plentitude of their new relations and
new cares. The true state of things how.
ever, in their painful tendency, was event.
ually made known to me in the follow
ing letter, which l received from Mary:
My DEAR FRIEND: You must have
begun to think that we have forgotten you
since we let you hear from US so seldom,
but | have not written because | had
nothing good to tell you, and did not wish
to trouble you with our evils. Now, how
ever, there is such a necessity for it, that
l can be silent no longer.
When | married, father settled the
greater part Of his property on ms, reserv-
ing for his own use about one fifth part of
it, and having his home with US. Until
my marriage, he had been in excellent
health and spirits, but after that, speed.
ly noticed change in him for the worse,
which could not account for He grew
thin in flesh, wasting much, was silent,
moody, and oppressed by some misery
which he would not explain to us. This
continued until very lately, troubling me
very much, but it was not until about two
weeks since that | discovered the cause.
l was mending his coat for him and chan
cling to put my hand into the pocket,
found package Of lottery tickets Then
knew the cause of his misery, and per-
ceived that he was still in the clutches of
his former infatuation. From this time
my husband and began to watch him as
closely as we could without being suspec-
ted. We were pursuaded that his mind
was unsettled, but. dreading the effect of
any betrayal of our suspicious, were care
full to let him see no change in our con-
duct toward him.
I" So it continued until yesterday, when
he appeared SO broken in health, and so
disturbed in mind that it was evident some
thing would have to bo done for him.
With this object in view, we sent for a
physician to consult about some means for
restoring him. During the conference,
father came, and am now convinced, got
an idea Of our intentions. He did not let
us suspect it, however, but passed on to his
room without any change of countenance.
Two hours afterwards, when | went to call
him to tea he was gone.
He had put few clothes in a valise,
and got out by the window, his room being
on the ground floor. What was to be
done We did not know where to search

The Printer.

The Printer is the Adjutsnt Of Thought,
and this explains the mystery of the won
derful word that can kindle hope as no
song can-that can warm heart as no
hope ean-that word "we," with a hand-in-
hand warmth in it, fer the Author and the
Printer are engineers together. Engineers
indeed. When the little CnrsicaI bonn
barded Cadiz at the distance Of i've miles,
it was deemed the very triumph of engin-
eering. But what is paltry range to this,
whereby they bombarGed ages to be.
There at the "case" he stands and nar-
shals into line the forces armed for Truth,
clothed in Immortality and English. And
what can be nobler than that equipment OF
thought in sterling Ssxon-Saxon with
the ring Of a spear or shield therein, and
that commissioning it when we are dead
to move grandly on 10 "the latest syllable
of recorded time" This is to win a VIC
tory from death, for this has no dying in it.
The Printer is called laborer, and the
Office he performs is toll. Oh, it is not
work, but a sublime rite he is performing
when be thus "sites" the engineer that is
to fling wordsd truth in grander curve
than missile e'er before described--fing il
into the bosom of an age unborn. He
throws Of his coat indeed; we but wonder
rather that he does not put his shoes from
eff his feet. for the place whereupon he
stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered thro' the twilight
ieebler than a star; il died upon tie ear
But the Printer takes if up from where il
WAS lying there in silence like wounded
bird, and he equips it anew with wings
snd he sends it forth from the Ark that had
preserved it and il flies into the future with
the olive branch of peace, around the world
with melody, like the daSning of Spring
morning.-B. F. Taylor.

6TThe following .Penitentiary items VIC

EThe following .Penitentiary items we
clip from the Columbus Gazette:
boefBer, who was sent from Cincinnati,
last week for the murder of his wife and
Mr.. Horton, is employed On this contract,
and as he is under sentence for life, he has
the prospect of serving out long & gloomy
apprenticeship. The wound in his throat
inflicted when he attempted to commit sui
eide, has healed up, but he is unable to
speak word above a whisper, and it is
with difficulty that he can be understood
His insanity. real or pretended, has passed
away, and he obeys the rules and conforms
to the discipline as kindly as any of his fel
low-prisoners.
Arrison, of in fernal machine notriety.
sentenced for ten years, is employed in ma
king barrels in the cooper shop. He is
good hand, talks but little, persists that he
is innocent cf the crime for which he is in
earcerated, and complains that he is suffer
ing IN unjust punishment.
MulholIand, one of the most hardened viii
hsns within the walls, only seventeen years
elas sent from Cincinnati, under a sem
teure of II years, for shooting policeman
and for burglary, works in the silver pla-
ting shop. His stubborn and wicked dispe-
sition occasionally leads him into the dun
geon, where after being punished a few
days, he becomes Modified and begs to be
set at work again.
Archibald Barnes, the last Of the four
brothers, who few years ago were con-
fined within these gloomy walls, is engaged
In making planes, business at which he
has become so expert that he can accom-.
plish two days work in one whenever he
feels so disposed. His idle hours are devo-
ted to concocting schemes to elude the Wig
ilance of his keepers, and although he il
acknowledged to be one Of the most Gun
ming and desperate Jail breakers in the lane
all his plans have been frustrated by the
close watch kept upon his actions.
Morgan, alias Jones, the murderer Of po
liceman Beebe. is engaged in filing stirruPI
anu bridle-bits. As general thing he be-
baves we'll, but occasionally he gets into a
tantrum, and it becomes necessary to pu
him in the dungeon, where after hunge!ine
and thirsting in darkness for a time. hs
comes out, as the boys say, 'as good as pie.
Summons, who was sentenced 10 be hun!
in Cincinnati for poisoning his fathers fam
lily, but whose sentence was commuted b.
the Governor to Imprisonment for lite, be
hsves very well, and for his good conduc
has been put in charge of the prison library
which he keeps in excellent order.
