From Scr7bner for Jdnuaru.
During the seventeen years confinement OF
this strange prisoner at Sante Marguerite, st.
placed by Moos.eur de BouFart. as Governor.
The daughter Of the latter, just emerging from
childhood to womanhood, grew up with this m,s-
tery around her. She bad seen the graceful fig
uro Of the masked prisoner promenad!ne at
night upon tue terrace and at TorsElp III the
chapel. where he was forbidden to speak or un-
cover his face tue soldiers in attendance having
their pieces always pointed towards him If he
should attempt to do either. She dig
covered that her. father always treated
him with the greatest respect, serving
him bafeheAded and standing. His
table service was of massive silver, lis dress OF
tho richest velvet; he wore the flucst linen aud
most costly lace. She had heard ler father accl-
wonder that his sad fate occupied her thoughts
by day aud Ills noble figure haunted her dreams
by night. She, too, was very Young aud bcautl-
full, aud thclr eyes occasionally met ~ chapel.
He saug beautifully, and was very skllllul per-
former on tue guitar. 1t is said che climbed the
rocks under the castle terrace aad sang swcet
songs to the poor captive. Thus romantic lore
sp1ang up between them, and, a. it gained
strength, the young girl dared to purloin tho key
from her father aud 30 obtain access to The pr:-
cner. When the Governor discovered his ch1lls
treachery lie was struck with tue greatest tlismay.
His oath was binding upon him to put immetl1-
ately to death any one who Lad spoken TO the
prisoner. But she confessed her love for him,
aud blended piteously for her young
lifc The captive, also, to whom tho
Governor WAS much attached. joined
his prayers to hers and implored that they might
bo 1nnde man and wifc, and then the secret
would bo safe. Tho Governor was not stern
enough. to immediate lis child. aud perhaps
CLEAN of ambition may have flashed across his
mind. as in the event OF line death Of Louis XIV.
the prisoner would be acknowledged aud his
daughter sit On the T1roue Of Trance. How

to the tastile lor safe keeping, and tho mother,
the priest. and Governor Disappeared. The
children were sent 10 Corsica, to bo brought up
in obscurity under tho uamo Of their grand
futher, Bonpart, which was corrupted into

dence nveaged the wrongs Of tho twin-brother Of
