in the employ of Mr.. Talbot approached
him and placed a letter in his hands. The
captains orders, meantime, had been civ
en- the anchor was drawn up, and the brig
under way.
With a cat-like spring, the agile mes
senger jumped upon the parting wharf, and
received lusty cheer from the jolly jack
tars who witnessed the feat.
LIDO leaned his head mournfuly upon
his hands, and gazed abstractedly upon
the receding shore.
Suddenly he bethought himself of his
letter. He opened it, and to his surprise
a roll Of bank bills fell upon it. He CLAN
ced upon them; they were bills Of large
amount The letter read as follows:
"You will not refuse the enclosed from
one who believes in your innocence. When
you make the fortune which | know your
energy will achieve in tie new country to
which you are going, you can repay them,
if you like, to your
SISTER FANNY"
Three wears after the above occurrence,
a Young man lay sick to death upon his
bed, raying in his delirium, to see Mr.
Redteld the father of the murdered lsa
bel.
Nr. Re field. stood beside the dying
couch OF the man who was to have been
the husband Of his daughte".
:" | am sorry to see you so low my poor
Augustus" said Mr. Redfield kindly.
''Oh, speak not to me. 1t was I who
stabbed Isabel - exclaimed the young man
wildly.
All were horlifed at these words. His
mother and sister imputed the motive to
the GeIirium disease but when he grew
more calm, and solemniy repeated his as
seryalion, they were forced to believe him.
Before his death, he narrated all the
particulars of his unnatural deed.
1t tseems that the proud Isabel, from the
time the handsome Sternberg entered her
fathers house, had smiled less graciousIy y
upon her afIianced, Augustus Raymond.
Stung to madness, by jealousy, he had
watched them together, had head Isabel,
the evening previous, appoint the grove
as a meeting place, that she had something
very particularly to say to Stelnberg.
Augustus repaired him to the spot be
fore day dawn, secreted himself, heard the
conversation; saw the reluctance of Stern
berg-heard the passionate Isabel avow
her love for him, and urged him to make
her bis wife. Sternberg refused her gent
", but firmly. At first she was angry,
but he soothed her into quiet, and left hei
after confessing to her that he loved anoth-
er. She acquitted him of attempting in
the slightest to gain her love, and as he
turned to depart, she smiled sweetly upon
him. and said sLa 700, :::y,,",, ~ 10 forge; nm
except with the love Of sister, but that
none other could ever supply his place in
her affections.
Perfectly infuriated with passion, Au
g'lstus Raymond stood before her on Stern
berg's departure, and reproached her more
ike demon dian a man, witli her perfidy,
Her manner was so haugfty anl indig
nant, that insane with jealousy, her dis
carded lover plunged the fatal steel into
her fair bosom, and then das'ing into the
thicket, made his escape wiz the cunning
caution that eEuded the eyes Of all, and
locking the fearful secret up in his own
breast, he escaped without being suspect ed
even of the foul deed.
The repentant lover died, and the father
cf the murdered girl wished to make rep
aration to the falsely accused Stefnberg.
Finding the turn affairs had taken, Fan
ny Talbot confessed to her father, with 6
countenance snffused wit bushes, that she
knew the hiding place of the acquitted
lido. She had corresponded with him
faithfully in his exile.
A few weeks more, and the now happy
Sternberg returned to his friends more
highly in their favor than he had ever beer
before.
It was with a proud and exultant heart
that the fond father placed his daughters
hand in that of lido Sternberg, who under
an assumed name, had won both fortune
and fame during his exile-who had also
proved himself in all ways worthy of tht
trust now reposed in him-the sacred trus
of loving woman's heart and happiness
