 What de matter, massa?'
 ''Did you bring any message from Mir. Legrand?' s
 ssNo, massa, bring 6s here pfssel, '' and here Jupiter. handed me anote which ran thus:
 MY DEAR R-: Why have not seen you for so long time? I hope you have not been so foolish to take offense at any, little brus- querie of mine; but no that is improbable.
 Since I saw you I have had great cause for | anxiety. I have something to tell you, yet scarcely know how to tell it. or whether Ishould | tell it at all. | I have not been quite well for some days past and poor old Jup annoys me almost be- yond endurance by his well meant atten- tions Would you believe it2-he had prepared huge stick the other day with which to chastise me for giving him the slip, and spend ing the day, solus, among the hills on the main land. I verify believe that my ill looks alone saved me 1ogging. sf2s
 have made no addition to my cabinet since l we met
 If you can in any way make it convenient, come over with Jupiter. Do come. wish to see you tonight upon business of importance. I assure you that it is of sthe highest impor- tance. Ever yours, WILLIAM LEGRAND.
 There was something in the tone of this note which gave me great uneasi- ness. Its whole style differed materially from that of Legrand. What could he be dreaming of? What new crotchet possessed his excitable brain? What business of the highest importance could he possibly have to transact? Jupi- ters account of him boded no good. ] dreaded lest the continued pressure of misfortune had, at length, fairly unset tied the reason of my friend. Without moments hesitation, therefore, I pre- pared to accompany the negro. | Upon reaching the wharf noticed a scythe and three spades, all apparently new, all lying in the bottom of the boat in which we were to embark.
 "What is the meaning of all this, Jup?' inquired.
 "Him syfe, massa, and spade"
 "Very true; but what are they doing here?''
 "Him de syfe and de spade what Massa Will sis 'pen my buying for him in de town, and de debbil's own lot of money had to gib for em.''
 But what in the name of all that is mysterious is your Massa Will going to do with scythes and spades?'
 "Dat's more dan I know, and debbil take me if don't believe 'tis more dan he know too. But it's all cum ob de bug. , Finding that no satisfaction was to be obtained of Jupiter, whose whole intel. lect seemed to be absorbed by ''de bug, , now stepped into the boat and made sail. With fair and strong breeze we soon ran into the little cove to the north ward of Fort Moultrie, and walk of some two miles brought us to the hut. It was about 5 in the afternoon when we arrived. Legrand had been awaiting ue in eager expectation. He grasped my hand with nervous impressment which alarmed me and strengthened the sus- picions already entertained. His coun. tenance was pale even to ghastliness, and his deep set eyes glared with unnat- ural luster. After some inquiries re. specting his health, I asked him, not knowing what better to say, if he had yet obtained the scarab@us from Lieu tenant G--.
 t'Oh, yes," he replied, coloring violent ly, 'I got it from him the next morning Nothing should tempt me to part with that scarabRus. Do you know that Jupi. ter is quite right about it?"
 ''In what way?' asked. with sad foreboding at heart.
 "In supposing it to be bug of real goldw He said this with an air of pro found seriousness. and I felt inexpressi. ply shocked.
 "This bug is to make my fortune, he continued, with q triumphant smile, .stc reinstate me in my family possessions. Is it any wonder, then, that prize it Since fortune has thought fit to bestow
