tn intense desire at once took possession
of her to behold him and thris decide the
point. The." following "morning she: de
termined to reliere herself from this state
of suspense br .accompanying Emily in
her accustomed walk with the children.. ;
..They passed, throngh many. crowds of

with an eager, anxious eye. in which
were strangely t blended the extremes of
hope and fear, .At length, , weary with
wandering aboat, she leaned, against a
railing and became absorbed in her own
thonghts. -. i t !.' i - h
At a short distance from her sat two
gentlsmen, conversing in a low roice. -Suddenly
their attention was attracted by
someone near. r " :. - :
. Is she not beautiful a prize worth
getting ?'V asked the handsomer man of
hie companion, at the same time indica
ting Emily by a motion of the head and
j ".-; ;v .; ;
,' Yes," .replied ' his 'companion, "she
belongs to you, I think, at least the re
semblance is perfect enongh."
' "Absurd 1" exclaimed the first speak
er, accidentally turning his face towards
Catherine. ' For an instant their eyes met;
she became deadly pale, nttered one pierc
ing "cry and fell to the ground. Emily
Sew to her mother's aide to ascertain the
cense : of ber sudden illness, and the two
gentlemen walked leisnrely at a distance,
nnconscioua of the effect , which the sight
of. one of them had produced, for Beyd
hsd not recognized Catherine, so great
change had. fifteen years wrought in her
personal appearance.-. .a ! t :. i
Emily called to the rdan who attended
them, ', and having procured a carriage,
they placed ber mother and the children
in it and proceeded home.. A few hours
restored the suffering woman to compo
sure, and Mrs Gastone insisted thst she
should remain quietly in bed the rest .of
the day. That she had more than one
reason for this, will afterwards be seen.
Catherine liesitsted long whether she
might to relate hrr recent discovery to
Mrs. G.. but fearful of injuring her feel,
ing. and supposing that all connexion
had forever ceased between thst lady and
Dr: Boyd, she resolved not to do so ;
she could not indeed, overcome those del
icate scruples, which hsd ever prevented
the least allusion, on her part, to the ab
sence of her mistress.'
"' In the latter part of the afternoon of
that day it being the one following Ber
nard'e abrupt departure a stranger, ex
ceedingly well-dresed and polite, inquir
ed for Emily, said that he was a par
ticular friend of Bernard Uetson, and that
Ae latter was1 lying dangerously ill, from
severe wounds received the1" night pre
vious. . '
Tears startil to Emily's cyesdind trick
led' down her cheeks already pale .with
anxiety; for her mother; clasping her
hands, she stood before the stranger in an
attitude at once so. imploring and so
graceful that he almost regretted the er
rand on which he came. " i-
"My brother ill !" said she. "Oh I
tell me sbout him 1 .where is he T-bow
was he wounded T"
The stranger replied: "He is so ill thst
be has not yet been able to satisfy . me
how he received those wounds, nqr is it
of any particular consequence ; he cannot
possibly ' recover,, and he begged me to
come and and ask you lo bless his last

the subterranean passsge, . placed her.. t
last upon a sofa in a well-lighted apart
ment, and departed to announce ber ar
rival to Bernard, as be said. , ,
The room in which Emily was left.was
without windows, and the whole surface
of its walls was lined with crimson. A
lamp, suspended from the centre, threw a
soft light over the various objects . in the
apartment. - A Turkish carpet, ottomans
and cushions covered the floor, a heavy
English side-board filled with glssaes,
wine and fruit stood ia one -recess, . and
in the otlter a light Grecian couoh, over
one arm of which was flung a beaotfully
embroidered red silk mantle,, aad above
it was placed a mirror. . - " .
Presently the door opened, and a tall,
handsome man, with black hair, and a
profusion of whiskers, 'entered. An, ex
pression of extreme disgust and borror in
stantly appeared upon her countenance,
and she exclaimed with much simplicity:
" ''Oh ! Mr. Laville,"' (the only name
by which she knew the Doctor,) "I am
sorry to meet you here, but will' joa please
take me to Bernard ? .'. It is very long
since I started to come to him, and I was
so terrified at !eing carried through such
strange places. Will you take me to bim
without delay""' ' . '
A low', forced, laugh proceeded from
his Kps! .' ' : ' " ' . ,' , ' ' ' ,
" "You must forgive an innocent decep
tion.' Bernard is perfectly well, and I
only used his name to ensure myself the
pleasure of clasping you ia my arms. Do
not be oOfemled, my sweet girl, but per
mit me to lay aside your, bonnet and
bring you some refreshments."-
Emily drew forth a slip of paper
"And .this note 7 '., '
' Waa written by me.".
She moved not.. Slowly she compre
hended that she had been deceived, that
he who was with ber was wicked, . and
wished her to be so.l Gradually raising
her eyes from the floor, , where ; they bad
been cast during a moment's thought, till
they rested npon him with an expression
of imploring helplessness, she said : ..
"You are a gentleman, Mr. Laville,

THE jUTSTEBJOCS PWELJJUO AU TUX IB
At a wiod.whra -Ernneirlinff waa far
more fashionable apd ocrat ive than at
present, a large etone hoase waa erected
in a south-eastern part- of the eitr by a
company of these who made fortunes in
this war-; Its ex asms! appearance much
resembled any vtberjdweUing. of those
UmesJ :it waalafge.-iqrrars -end some
what ia thevDnUh fsshion, with a wood
en stoop or pitxaa runnning rooad three
sides of it-i . Large blinds of the original
color of tbe wood, covered the windows,
or what onght to hava been such, for in
troth there .was but one window, the re
maining places being filled with stone ;
the bouse waa lighted at' all hours by
means of lamps. ? There was also a stout
oaken door, which to all outward appear
ance answered a substantial purpose, yet
it covered no entrance. It was like the
window-blinds a falsity. ' ' ":
All that was exposed, to the eye wss
fair and differed not, excepting in jts so
lidity, from many boildinirs then in use;
but endenyronnd there was a' enite of
rooms used for various convivial purposes
ss well as for the secretion of "treasures.
The only method of entering the building
was by means of varions' subterranean
channels, one of which had an outlet up
on the sea-shore, another in the cabin al
ready mentioned, and some" others less
used, in various parts" of the city.'- Much
irbalth had been concealed tbere, and the
most vigilant efforts of government were
defied. - , ;'-' '' , J - - " '
' At length the original occupsnts of the
bpilding 'disappeared after the regular
course of nature, and it fell into the hands
of a band of gentlemen gamblers and
pick-pockets, who much preferred dark
ness for their deeds. .
. The apartments were large, high, and
furnitihed in handsome style with one ex
ception. The furniture having -been
brooght from nearly all parts of the globe,
would lwc formed a curious assemblage
for the iunpectioa of an antiquarian.
The apartment in which Bernard was
confined coaUiued the only real window
io tli building, and was separated from
the adjoining-room: by a partition with a
door of the same material, so nicely fit
ting, that when elosed, it was nearly im
possible fof a stranger to discover it.
This was used as the place of the most
perfect concealment of money or persons.
It was in the principal parlor that Emily
had been placed and was left by Doctor
Boyd. . , .. . : "
Secure in the bodily and mental pros
tration of one prisoner, the timidity and
childhood of the other, and in the total
ignorance of each in regard to tbd other,
he bad not deemed it necessary to fasten
their doors. Bernard's he bail left much
. .. . r , i. . , ... i. r ... '
ajar. , , ........
. Emily had been so accustomed to grap
ple with realities that sho knew nothing
of imaginary sorrows and difficulties.
When, therefore,' she found herself really
alone, with no human being near to assist
or comfort, her she began to rely npon her
self, and felt ber courage strengthen as she
regained calmness' '-and serenity. For
half an hour she sat quite still and thought
of many ways by which she could at
tempt to escape. . "I will do what I can,'.'
said she at the expiration of that period.
Pushing open the door of tbe parlor, she
Derceived tbat she stood in a large room,
furnished with rows of cushioned seats of
an antique fashion, and a , table covered
with velvet spread in the. centre..- It might
have been a council chamber for. the hon
orable band of smugglers, or it . might
have been used for very different purposes.
It did not reveal itself, but gave back, in
answer to Emily's gsxe, a cheerless and
solitary' look.
- A lamp burned open-the table.' ' By
taking it in her hand, she discovered the
door by which , they bad entered," and.
when opened"; it revealed" to. her the long
flight 6f Wone 'steps op'-which she had
been carried. She also perceived tbat at
a short distance from the top'. : tins flight
diverged Into another that terminated up
on a platform, a From his direction pro
ceeds eounds which she had for, e. long
time distinctly ,heard. , .i ,wi ; :
Hoping to find, a, less earful mode of
escape. Emily carefully aearehed the room ,
for another door, Jkocidenully peroeiving
the onevennesa in the partition, which she
supposed to be the eater wali-of .tbe .boild
iag from, its being of stone, h flew te it,
regarding it as a far more natural .pgrese
iuU the street.. a -. t ..-q 'l
r Erertin all her strength, she succeed.
ed.. after imany fail urea, in forcing- the
door . open. , ..Her- astonishment, may - be
conceived, whan, instead of the open street
which she had fancied, she saw, extended
on a low conch, close to the door,
young man io full dress, somewhat bloody
and apparently, in a profound sleep. -, She
instantly withdrew, when tbe thought oc
curred to ber that it might, be some one
wounded and,, like lwrself. a prisoner.
Taking tbe lamp, she again, entered the
rloMt; and permitted ita -rays to fall npon
the fa of Iheajeeper. :a .( n- -
A slkrht scream burst from. ber. lips.
bat .resolutely, combatting the effect of.
herear, excitement, and auddan discovery,
she placed. ibeJsmp npon. the stand,
which -vsth the bed. was the only furni
ture possible for the room contain, and
said in a low, earnest tone :
"Beraaid.-Tirar brother," awake. It is
Emily who calls yon. shaking bim gent
ly and rubbing bis forehead and bands to
arouse bim. -:' -'r ''-"'' ' c; '
Suddenly tbe young mat started, open
ed his eves. ' add ' etarei vacarHTt' about.
comprehending' nothing 'tin "htswe
voice of his visitor again besought bim to
throw off bis stupor and recognize ber.
For an instant he shaded his eyea with
his hand and gazed intently at Emily,
during which his recollection returned,
and feebly clasping the yonng girl in his
arms, be inquired how she came into tbat
fearful and mysterious dwelling. In a
few words she told him all: A flash of
anger and ' revenge burned ' upon bis
cheek." - "For my sske you hsva been ex
posed to all this and I sleeping profound
ly. ' Curses on the drugs which filled the
water and stnpified me. ' Ten thousand
curses on bim who planned this." '
"Nevermind now, Bernard," she said
hastily and fearful of discovery, "You
must eat something, and then we will es
cape if yon csn walk, if not I will re
main.' '
' She quietly returned to the parlor she
had left and brought a decanter of wine
from a sideboard. Bernard swallowed
some of it, and with Emily's assistance
arose and found that he conld walk, but
with difficulty ; indeed, he was forced to
lean upon the arm of the slender child,
instead of eupporting her. They took
with them the 'wine,' fearfnl that his
strength' would fail ere he hsd reached a
place of safety. Placing the lamps upon
the table, they closed the doors as before,
and silently passed down the step into
total darkness.' Though Bernard ' was
wholly unconscious of tbe time of day,
and to Emily it seemed hours since she
had previously entered that dark passsge,
it was in reslity but eight in the evening.
All the circumstances of their ' departure
had been rapid, from their fear of de
tection. : - : -ll :'
They bsd hurried along the passsge
without speaking, when suddenly they
heard the sound of voices ; approaching
much more rapidly than was in their
power to proceed. They hastened, hop
ing in some way to escape. At this mo
ment Emily felt an angle in the wall, and
hastily pulled her companion into a path
which diverged from tbo principal one.
Feeling seenre, they paused a moment to
listen. ;.:.:--:
"Is be dead V asked a voice which to
Emily sounded like that one which had
decoyed her from ber mother's protection
and which Bernard ' recognized : as be
longing to the man by whom be was
beaten ,.t - : . . ' '
"No. not quite." replied another, which
both knew perfectly well. "I do not
wish him to die, there would be a noise,
he is so well liked ; but be will sleep
pretty soundly, for a week to come, aud
meanwhile my affairs will be arranged."
"That is a pretty bird I brought to
your cage," said the first speaker. "I
cannot much blame bim for cheating
you." . .: .' ,
."Yes,' a dainty ereature," replied the

' Th Chicaoo NoktiKia. Some one at
Chicago writes to the New York Tri
bune, that Seward wonld carry Illinois
by at least 5,000 majority against even
Mr. Douglas". Such assertions betray
gross. anil inexcusable ignorance of popu
lar sentiment,' and are calculated to do
mischief. Wa have a most profound ad
miration for the etniarfat ability and pat
riotic statesmanship of Mr. Seward,, and
would cheerfully give bim our vote could
it make him President ; but we hare to
deal with facts as they exist, and a most
palpable one to every well informed man
is, that Seward cannot carry Illinois un
der any conceivable circumstances. Dou
g'as would beat bim in the neighborhood
of 50,000 votes, and even Jeff. Davis
could carry the State against him. We
honestly believe that Seward could not
carry more than two-thirds of the Re
publican vote in this part of the State,
leaving ont of the question tbe thoussnds
of middle-men who prefer us to the De
mocracy. Success is, a duty with tbo
liepubl icans, and any man who is un
willing to sacrifice personsl preferences
for the triumph of oar common princi
ples, is unworthy to share in the glorious
destiny tbat awaits the Republican party.

Pates ahd .Ciut. The ground then
on whch our neighbor founds his charge
of Republicanism, is we presume, found
in Mr. Bates' declaration of hostility to the
extension of slavery into the territories, a
doctrine of universal acceptance upon the
part of the fathers of tba Republic,, and
the wisest men who have succeeded them.
Shall we therefore fear to acknowledge that
we are a disciple of Henry Clay because
of the cry of Republican? No, no! slave
holders as wa are, we stand up in all the
dignity of our manhood, and on the soil
of our native State, having a reference to
the best interests of our section, and the
welfare and glory of our common conn-
try, and declare with the patriotic and
virtuous Bates, that we are clearly of the
opinion, that Congress Aa tht right to
legislate to prohibit slavery in the terri
tories, and furthermore, we say with tbe
immortal Clay, if wa were in Congress,
