THE MAIL ROBBEK.
A IHAILLISG Tale.
(CoaJutUJ )
The bim guilding the fHfhug leaves.
of the grave-yard n^es, as E'hcrington left
il)0 ullage church, Ins young bride hang
ing upon hi* arm I Ft had bought her hi
an awful price; but when ho &aw Iter ani
mated countenance burning wilh d< light at
their expected happiness, he felt ti,at hei
smife* dissipated somewhat of the gloom ol
guilt, and hilt load uf criuns mi lighter on
Ju* heart m the presence of his beloved.
He tnade an effort ?o bp cheerful and
succeeded it) lotting o laugh at one of Mr.
Nou ia'o hearty sallies; when a funeial pr*>
cession of the most humble pretension*,
entered the gates of the church-yard as the
bridal party endeavored to pass out. A
yvuug widow followed thecotlin ; she was
weeping piteousdy, ,*i?d dragging by the
hand a curly haired boy of tender age.
whose round and innocent face reflected the
bad impression of the place, while he was
unable to appreciate the severity of hislo*s.
Ellen's sympathy was affected at the sight
of this poor mourning relic and her orphan
boy, and her husbaud found some little
trouble in drying up her tears.
"It is inde?nl a dreadful case," said Mr.
Norris, uand the heavy difficulty which
has fallen on our town preveutB the possi
bility of doing anything for her by subscrip
tion?a I though 1 trust government will not
forget her claims."
"Who is she? what are her claims ?"
said Etherington.
AkDo you uot know ? She is the widow
of poor Sera pie, ?he driver, who was mur
dered by the robbers of the mail."
Etherington did not fall, nor start, nor
even change the color in his cheek- The
blow struck to hie heart and was too deeply
seated for external sign." lie had heard
that his victim was severely hurt, but it
was considered almost certain that he w6uld
recover. This sudden weight of murder
on his soul stilled even the fiuttcrings of
hope?a vivid presentiment of impending
ill settled in his mind, and despair entered j
his soul, 'lhe walk home,?the dinner,? |
the dessert,?all passed gloomily and sad.
Ellen was pained to see her husband's
melancholy; she had before observed the
sttange si trial ion in his manners, and had
expostulated with him on the subject. Her
inquiries were now pressed with more in
tensity , but they resulted in the same excuse
? a head-ache of peculiar violence.
4Vi'hen the fresh breeze of the evening
will blow it away," said Mr. Norris. "Do
not bit there moping and insulting your!
wife by looking as if you were sorry for j
what you have done ; but jump up, like a
joyous biidegroom,asyou ought to be; take
half an hour's walk on the sands, and when
you come back, join wilh me in drinking
the bride's health. J can find a bottle or
two of choice old port, and uo thanks to
the scounihels who robbed me."
The remedy was tried, but without effect.
'ihugluiic3 of the setting sun?the quiet
splendor of the calm, bright suu? the mur
muring ol the evening breeze?the lively
prattle of his young uride, or the devoted
tenderness of her alarmed inquiries?all
alike lell on a seared and scathed heart,
occupied with one thought of horror and
despair. A young girl passed them, and
illien, as suddculy recollecting, stepped
bdek to speak to her, Laving Etherington
alone upon lhe beach.
Ht cannot be concealed," he exclaimed
aloud ; "natuie with her thousand tongue,
proclaims her hatted ut the deed. The
4>cutle waved, that b*cak in tnuimuring rip
ples at my ic-ct, seem to tecetlc iu honor at
my crime; the fiesh breeze, that fans my
burning temples in its play, appears with
tiumpet violence to bellow 'murder' in my
ear; the oib of day is setiu.g redly in the |
west?? 1 cannot g*?ze upon its beauty?it*
lays are tinned wiih blood !"
A rough-looking fiahcrtuuu stepped from
behind an adjaconl rock, thrubia dirty, ill
iclded letter into Etlitoringloh'e hands, and
in mcdiatfcly disappeared. The note v,a?
f*oui Johnson, and read as follnws:
??1 did not dare, for all our 6?k*s, to trustyou
Witfi the money. It woul<i have i<r*d suspi
cion. Now 'tis useless. \V? aie both of us

|>iill out beyond tin. floaiitig bglit, and keep u
io <? dirtu line with the lights of tL?? town. I
bhail be alloui, and on the lockout at the pic
ptr ?ime of nighi."
Kiherington had scarcely read this damn
ing epistle ere the light and giaceful form
ol his wife was at bis side.
k My dear William can do me a favor,
and as it is my wedding day request, I um
sute you will not refuse me. Yuu have
svhtt in-'crett wiih th? nuigitlrules. Poor old
St ill well, the exciseman, has been superse
ded for neglect of *?ty. He has lost all the
hard-earoed saving* of his long life by the
fiufare of the bank, and his family must
atarv* waless you iatereiK yourself in his
behalf . Yom will try to have him teinatated,
will you not ?'
liltheiingtun answered with an affirma
tive smile, and kissed th* blooming eheel
ol the fair petitioner. Tl?*y returped to
wards home. TImto was ft- tir* >? lCfher
ington's sye, an elasticity in hw treftd, tlia
surptised and delighted his observant wife
ilia cooversbtion was cheerful and continu
ous, and Elleu looked upon this outbreak
the reaction of In* professional pursuits
Let not the leader imagint this descrip
lion of JStieringfon's conduct to be unnaiu
.al. He had l<>s? the withering torture ol
uncertainty ; the dreadful truth was full be
?or? hiiu?he fell 'he nwiixily lor insLtnt
?iCtiou, aud at oneo made up his miod to
the course he should pursue.
Leaving Ijih wile at the parlor door, he
desired her, with a kiss, 10 tcil her i'*ihei
to prepare tb? wiae, while ha retired to hi?
room to make soma litde arrangement* lor
i? shot I jotiruev he had soon to perform
The happy girl did not wait to inquire the
meaning of his la^t words; Lot. lull of de
sire to acquaint her pareula with the juvouw
change iu Etheringtui/s behaviour, bounded
iuto the room where they were sitting, and
delivered li?^* request.
With wimt eloquence did Mr. Nomss
Jttrling child ps?nt the past; with what trans
port did aha look forward to the future;
with what fervor did she thank her Creator
lor removing the cloud which had hung
over the mind of him she so devotedly loved!
Her parent? smiled at her enthusiasm, and
her aged mother r^se from her seat, and
clasped her lovely daughter in her arms.
4 Why, un?mma, your dress is splashed
all over with port wine. How could papa
be so careless ?'
? A drop has just fallan on your shoulder,
Ellen. There is another. This is not wine
it comes from above.'
All present cast their eyes to the ceiling.
A large *ed stain appeared in the midst of
the white plaster, through which a dark red
liquid was rapidly oozing. Ellen uttered a
shriek, and a dreadful thought, sudden and
searing as the lightning's flash, fell opon
her brain.
* It is my husband's blood!'
This horrible anticipation proved too
true..?The wretohed man knew that, to
preserve his life, he must give up all that
reudered life desirable; and to shun the
damuing ignominy of the unavoidable ex
posure, with the certainty of meeting a vio
lent and disgraceful death at the hands of j
the common hangman, if ho should be
caught, be retired to his own room, and on
the evening of his wedding-day, and on
his bridal bed, he expiated his terrible ca
reer of guilt by cutting his throat from ear
to ear. ?
A hole was dug in the centre of the cross
roads, a few yards only from the foot of the
(gibbet on the Downs. According to ths En
glish law then in force, the body of the sui
cide was hurled, like a dog, into this rude
unhallowed grav^. 1 b? officiate of the jail |
placed the remains of the ill-fated Ethering- (
ton in his narrow house, beneath the mid
night sky. Foul jests and imprecation*
formed the service of the dead; and the
earth closed over that once proud, ungov
ernable heart, without the shedding of one
pitying tear?without the utterance ol one
sad regret
The horror of the death scene overpow
ered the senses of the wretched wife; she
never recovered the shock. A few months
closed the earthly sufferings of the widowed
bride, and her bereaved and broken hearted
parents did not long survive.
