THE SILVER ARROW.
A TALE OF SAVOY,
Upon the summit of a lofty ¢liff in moun
tainous Savoy stood the castle of Count Rud
olin, frowning grimly in the midst of sunshine
upon the peaceful cottages below. Stern,
rough, and half-inaccessible, it was afair type
of itsa Lord, the last Count of his line. And
the sunny brightneas, so lavishly poured upon
it, was truly like the sweet influence of his
voung and gentle daughter. Fatherand child
had tfm same name, but nothing more in com
mon. Where sympathy is wanting there is
little intercourse, so that while he regarded his
daughter solely as his lheiress, his repelling
roughness caused her to look upov him mere
ly as her guardian and natural protector.
lo the deep narrow valley at the foot of
the hill lay a humble cottage, buried in the
shadow of ite lofty neighbour. The old cot
tager, Melchior, was the minstrel and wise
man of the ahole barony. In those days, the
offices were commonly united, and the harp
er. who delighted high-born lords and dames
with his minstrelsy, was the repository of tha
pencants unwritten lore, the story teiler whom
they always welcomed, the seer whom they
revered. Melchoir pretended to little of the
latter characier, except when it was forced
upon bim, or could be made advantageous to
Lis interest. Albert, his adopted son, was
manly youih, deeply versed in the “‘gay sci
ence,” and yvet the master of a spint well ficted
to lead in the front rauks of strife. The hand.
which ran =o lightly over the gentle guitar,
was hardest in the contest, surestin the blow.
Well worthy was he to have been a pupil of
Scott's warrior minstel, ** the jovial harper,
who died at Jedwood A"
¢ e brooked, not he, that scoffing tongue
Should tax his minstrelsy with wrong,
Or cull his song untrue ;
For this, when they ¢ goblet plied,
And suchraode taunt had chafed his pride,
The bard o Reull he slew,
On Teviot's side, in Bight they stood,
And tuneful hands were stained with hlood ;
Where still the thorn’s white branches wave
Memorial o'er his rival’s grave.”’
Of such mould were the minstrels of form
er davs, equaliy ready to exalt their science
with sweetness ol voice or streugth of arm.
Tho adopted mother of Albert was fosters
mother to the inlant countess Lalien, and
thes from eartiest chi! *hood, notwithstanding
the dispanty of thewr conditions, an intimacy
had zrown up with their mowth between the
peasant's son aud the daugnter of Count Rud
olin. She. the geatlest and loveliest of litie
inaidens, was not the oue to think of jank,
and his strange wild hieart burniog with poet
ic fire, knew that it could disgrace the friend.
ship of nonr, even of the lofticet. And no
dreams of love had yetenteredinto thethoughts
of either. ‘Their ages were the same, but
the matured scul of Albert naturally found
itsell sustaining her frailer and womanly spirit.
This ditference compensated for the equalit
in years, and placed him in the relaticn wbicfl
man iostinctively bears to the other sex.
Their meetings had always been irequent,
almost daily, yet neither of them ever dream
ed of the inevitable result. Though the
peasant’s son and noble's daughter might be
freely together as foster brother and sister,
who could suppose they would dare to form a
stronger tie !
They were now sixteen, andeuu arriving
at a knowledge of the truth. The woman’s
nainre of Lilien first perceived it, and her re
serve, her ausence (rom their usual place of
meeting, and above all, her tone as she uttered
the words: “We are sixteen,” conveyed it
also to Albert's mind. Though yet unworn
io the world's ways, and trembling with the
delicious conciousness of a first love, she had .
suflicient pride of ancestral birth to feel that
they must meet no more. Dut Albert was
more hopeful. He too saw the barrier be
tween them, but he also knew the power of
an invivcidle epegy, and resolved never to
yield his faith.
It was several days since they had lastseen
each other, and both looked eagerly forward
to a graund (ete which the Couut was prepar
ing to give his dependants. Such had been
an immemorial custom io the barony, and one
that he Lhardly dared to ioterupt, though his
taste was not in festivals and merry-making
for the poor. Perhapshe endured it less un
willingly, because the jovial unthinking ten
antry would endure u year of oppression more
readily, after a single day of pleasure. Upon
these occasions feats of wrestling and archery
throughout the day, followed by dancing in
the great hall of the castle, amused the peo
ple and delighted not unfrequently the surly
Count himself.
The moroing of the festival dawned, and
neither Countess Lilien or the young miu
strel peasant imagined that their respective
fates were crowded rogether within that single
Jay.
*he great court of the castle was early
thrown open for the vassals as they assembled
from every port of the barony. It was the
only place vear by which was well adapted for
such occasions. From the wall of the castle
itself, a long swooth plat of ground stretched
even to the verge of oue of those tremendous
gorges, so common in that broken country.
It was a fissure between two portions of the
same hill, ruoning sheer dowa for an huon
dred feet, until where a mountain torreut dash
ed fiercely slong over its rocky floor. The
width of this fearful chasm was not more than
thirty feet, aud the two edges were connected
by a light movable bridge. This was the ouly
defence of the castle on that side, aud there,
at least, made it almost unpregnable.
The sports commenced, but Albert took no
pert and looked carelessly on the scene. Al
most all his attention was cirected towards
the young Couutess 0 watching fora stray
look, in receiving a chance smile, and more
than once ber shy innocent glance, restiog on
him for 4 morent, seut the blood thrilling
ewiftly theough his verns. He busied him
sell for some time uutil a strange scene called
Lis attention elsewhere.
There was a singular unskillfoloess in the
archiers, and one that might well bave pro
voked a wilder man thau Count Rudolin.
Bre himsell was o fine marksman and felt the
disappointient g kcealy as could ghe unlucky
competitors. At last as each seerned shoot
g worse thad the one before him, he rose
from his seat and coming hasuly forward,
seized wbow from a peasant's hand, Buat
even his skill wils not ex®pt trom (he gene
ral disgrace. The arrow grock the target
pearer than any before it, but still ata most
provokiog distance from the ceutre. The
Count shook with rage and shame.
“Bring hithermy own cross-bow," he shout.
ed, “and the silver arrow. 1 can do nothing
with these awkward things. T'hey, st lesst,
will not tail.”
“Beware, Count Rudolin,” said Melchior,
“the silver arrow is not to be used on light
occasions."
“Aud why not meddlor?" he stamped with
fury as he spoke
“Remember, noble Conunt, that your ances
tot received that arrow from a dealer in magic
for a particular mystie purpose, and the time
of that has long since passed. Think too of
the fatal caution which accompanied the gift,
=lO use it only where life or death to the
louse of Rudolin was concerned, for when
the shaft should miss its mark, the unskillful
archer should find it in Lis own heart.
“I um not the unskiliful marksman whose
arrow can miss," said the Count sternly, as he
received the shaft and bow. This arrow,
which hod descended through many genera
tions to the heirs of Rudolin, was delicately
moulded of virgin metal. The shaft was hol
low and skillfully ornamented with strange
characters, and aside from the magic powers
commonly attributed to it, was wndeed a sure
weapon in the hands of a good marksinan.
The Countexamined it reverently, placed it
in the bow and turned to take aim.
In his agitation he did not carefully draw
the bow-string, and as he abruptly wheeled a
bout, caught it against his doublet, and, of
course, dischargad the shaft. Itwhizzed swift-
Iy through the air and lodged in a tree, which
projected right over the fearful fissure already
mentioned. All hurried to the spot.
'he trunk of the tree was onlv a few feet
from the narrow bridge, but where it pushed
’ its boughs broadly out, there was nothing be
‘neath them, except the torrent which roared
far down under the cliff. The tree itsslf could
‘ casily be climbed by a hardy mountaineer,
but unfortunately, the arrow had lodged in a
dead brauch, wlich seemed unable to bear the
weight of a man. Aoy attempts from the
land to loosen it would inevitably cause it to
drop into the torrent.
At one glance the Count saw all the hazard
of an attempt to regain the arrow. Yet as a
work of magic, whose loss would be followed
Ly a curse, he could not bear it. Rather Lis
castle, anything than that ou which lis life
depended.
** Five hundred crowns,” cried he, *‘to the
manu who will place the silver arrow in my
hauds!” There wasa wistiul buzzing among
the retainers, but no one stirred. "I'he Counut
marked this and knew what must be the price
of such danger.
“I will grant,” he said slowly and loudly,
“any boou in my power and consistent with
my hovour, which he shall demand.” At
these words, he noticed a youth o the back
of'the crowd striving to break loose (rom those
who would restrain him. The Count coutin-
aed : The reward shall be given by the bands
of the Couuntess Lilien.” Albert broke des
perately from the grasp of hisfriends.
It success was in the power of man, his
hght agile form seemed most likely to obtain
it. It was easy to ascend the tree up the
point where the dead limb shot off from the
trunk. Here he stopped a moment and cool-
ly tormed his plan. ‘T'here was no other
course than to advance boldly upon the rotten
branch without any other support overhead,
aud to return in the same manner. He step
ped lightly and nervously forward. Ilis eye
pras fixed upow the silver arrow, as it glittered
before him, loosely hanging to the branch
with pothing between it and the torrent hut
an hundred feet of air. It was reached and in
the bold youth's hand. Had he moved on
without stopping, the decayed wood might
have born its burden » little longer, but the
unavoidable pansein grasping the shaft brought
his whole weight for an instant upon a partic
ular point. T'he braneh cracked. He threw
the wrrow at the Connt’sfeet just asthe bough
broke from the tree with a crashing noise and
fell down the abyss. A cry of terror burst
frow the crowd.
12 that dreadful moment, when hissole sup
l portgave way, the youth's daring coolness did
net (ail him. With a nervons eflort, that
snapped therotten bough clear from the tree,
he sprang forward into theair. Hisonly hope
was to catch the bridge a few feet on one side
in his descent, and he barely succeeded.
His fingers just closed wpon the rail, and
though the sudden shock in falling nearly
slung him away, hie depended upon his grasp,
and he steadily maintained it for a second.
Thenhe lightly leaped uponthe bridge, cross
ed it, and picking up the arrow from the
grouud, whence no one had thought of remov~
ing 1, placed it in the Count's hands.
The peasants broke intoshouts of triumph.
FEveu the Count's harsh features wore a smile
of admiration as he said,
*Now gallant boy, ask the boon.”
Albert looked steadily at the yonng Count
ess until she shivered under his gaze. le
stepped ‘orward and offered to take her hand
within his own. Trembling with recent ex
citement and conscious of nothing but the
movments of one, so miraculously preserved
to her love, she yiclded to the only impulse
of ber heart and kneeled down with him at
her father's feet,
Count Rudolin whitened with rage at this
presumtuous act. A storm of passion swept
ito his heart and almost burst the frame that
was unable to containit. Forafew moments
lis retainers looked to see him fall in convul
sions, as had ofien happened when any thing
roused his ungovernable fury. At length he
spoke a few words in a hoarse, stammering
hiss.
“Bind and dungeon the madman. Oan with
your sports, simple fools.”
Without noticing Lilien he walked hurried
ly to the castle, the silver arrow still in his
hands. In his joy at its recovery, he vowed
not to part with it throughout the day. The
ounly reward of its restorer was a dungeon.
In the evening, the great, hall of the castle
was briliantly illuminated, and thrown open for
dancing. Count Rudolin was there, some
what more composed than he had shown him
self a few Lours before. DBut with a darker
expression than common upon his counte
nance. ‘T'he talisman of his house was still
firmly grosped in his hand as if he feared to
luse it again. Perhaps he thought of what
young Albert had gaived in exchange forrisk
g his life. i
Liilen too was there, no longer quietly
beautiful, but discomposed and each moment
casting around vague glances, which seemed
to implore assistance. Melchoirreceived one
and obeyed the mute sign to aproach ber.
“Can you save him, father Melchoir 7
“No harm of life or limb will come to Al
bert. | know that which will set him fice,
and il it comes to the worst | will speak."”
“Save him then as he Is. Cun you talk so
coolly of the danger to the son whom you
have adopted as your own 1"
“Countess Lilien, he can Le relieved only
by vour fall. Do you consent to the sacri
fice? Dethink you, before you speak.”
*| need no thought. Say what you know
—no matter what happens to me. | cannot
be more wretched than I am now."
“Phen I will do it,” exclaimed the old man.
“Itis tme,=full time that the whole truth
was known."
He struck his harp: the dancinng ceased,
and all gathered around the minstrel for his
uccustomed song snd tale. But when their
attention was secured, he commenced abrupt
ly with the recital of his story, addressing
particularly to Count Rudolia.
There once lived a baron whose life was
cheered by a good and beautiful lady. She
died and left him bYut one pledge of their hap
piness—u newly born child. Years passed by,
and the young Countess, arrived just upon
the verge of womanheod, lovely as bher moth
er and blessed by all. But unfortunately she
loved a peasant, and this awakened the baron's
wrath. The Count Rudelin, discovered that
she was not his child,~—
“Ston!” shouted aloud voice. The Count
placed Limself in front of the old miustrel
aud eyed bim sternly. “Melchoir, it was of
Count Rudolin that you spoke. Speak on
uow what you have to say."
“1 spoke,"” surd Melchowr calmly, *‘of the
noble Count Rudolin and my daughter, Lil
ien. 'l'he nurse who attended upon the
Countess at her death, was my wile. She
had been angered by her lady and had vowed
a deep revenge, which wnuh{stnke into the
very House of Rudolin. This was done by
palining ofi another cluld as the daughter of
the Countess. Her mistress soon died, and
who was there to suspect or know more than
the confidential nurse?
“What proof is there that you do not lie?”
said the Count cooly, without manifesting be
lief or disbeliet o the story.
“My own oath and the attested conlessions
of my wite, just Lefore her own death, are
sufficient. But there is another kind of tes
timony, to which you will give greater credus
lence. The silver arrow of the House of
Rudolin was given to your ancestor just before
the birth of an heir. I'he chill brought with
him into the world an arrow distincily muk
ed upon his arm, and this has distinguished
all his descendants. You bear such a mark
upon your own person, and you have heard that
your child also earvied this seal to its descent,
Look here!” He bared the fincly swelling
arm of Lilien up to hier snowy shoulder, but
there was no trace upon that soft fresh skin,
“Tlhis should suffice you, I demand my
Baughler. Lallien.”
“ltis enough !=—take her. Dy heavens.
false man, 1 might have known that no blood
of mine could have sought to mingle isell
with a peasant's race. Aye! bring forward
young Albert, He shall have the very boon
he asked this morning. Stop! he is not
your son :=—l have been told that you adopt
ed him,
“lie is not my son, I adopted him many
years since,” Melchoir replied.
“Then, in the fiend’s name, let them wed.
Summon the chaplain hither.”
Aod in a few moments they were duly mar
ried.
“Melchoir, T have interrupted your story.
—I will finish it for you. Count Rudolin
found that she was not hisdaughter, and mar
' ried ber 1o a chance-born, who felt it no dis
howor to mingle his poor blood with that of a
traitor's daughter. And the betrayed man
soon worthily punished the traitor. Mark
that part of the story, false Melchoir. Now,
let this merry-making cease. Away ! all of
you.”
“My Lord Count has not quite finished
the story. When the nurse gave her own
daughter to the lady, she took a child i ex
change. And that childis Albert, whom you,
noble Count, unthinking of Providence, in
your haste have marned to my daughter.
See ! upon hisarm is the arrow which belongs
tothe Hoause of Rudolin.” There was indeed
a faint straight mark upon the flesh which
bore some similitude 1o an arrow.
The whole frame of Count Rudolin seem
torn with silent yet terrible emotion. There
was 0o joy at recovering his lost son mani
fested in his working features, but shame at
the degradation to his race 1n that marriage,
and rage against him who had caused it. Ile!
tottered up to Melchoir and raised s armw,
while his white lips wispered, *my blood is |
joined with yours, traitor.” T'he blood rush- I
ed into lus face in apoplectic fulluess :he ’
dropped his arm and wavered a moment, |
then fell heavily to the giound. The statl
which he held loosely in his haud, was point- |
ed upwards and transfixed his body as its whole ;l
weight pressed suddenly upon it. He stirred |
once aud died, ‘
Melchoir solemnly waved back the peasants
as they crowded around the body. **ltis true
then, that this fatal arrow, when it had miss
ed the target, should find its mark in the ar
cher's heart. Let this body be removed.
Yetwhy do I command in this hall. Albert
of Rudolio, thou art Lord here,and you, Lil
ien are mistress as belore.”
DAVID AND JONATHAN AT THE
STONE EZLE]L.
Onxe of the most beautiful and touching
examples of the fidelity and endurance of true
friendship,is recorded in the first book of Sam
uel, wherein is given an account of the cove
nant between David and Jonathan: a cove
pant having not a particle of selfishness in it.
Although Jonathan was a Royal Prince, the
son of the King of Israel, and heir apparent to
the throne, and David was the child=ayoung
er child=—of a Bethlehemite shepherd, yet
the love of Jonathan «id not recognize this
difference in rank, which now places an in
separable barrier against a coalition ol affection
between a Prince and a peasant, The Sa
cred Record says, that as soon as David re
turned from slaying Goliah, *the soul of Jon
athan was knit with the soul of David, and
Jonathan loved him as his own soul.* * *
Then Jonathan and David wmade a covenant,
hecause he loved him as his own soul. And
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that
was upon him, and gave it to David, and his
garments, even to his sword, and to his bow,
and to his girdle."”
From the beginning, prophetic thoughts of
David's advancement seemed to have ocenpied
Jonathan's mind : and this act of disrobing
himself and clothing the young shepherd with
his own garments, he seemed to imply a res
ignation of all bis future pretentions. llow
different was the mind of Saul, the King.
When he heard the Jewish women extoling
David because he had slain his ten thousands,
‘while to Saul was given the praise of slaying
only his thousands, the King's jealous wrath
was aroused, and he said, **what can he have
more but the Kingdom?" From that day
forth, Saul determined to kill the young con
queror of the giant Philistine, but Jonathan
was like a guardian angel between his father
and David, for his vigilant friendship never
slept. Several times he saved David's life :
and when David fivally determined to take
measures for his own safety against Saul,
they consulted together, renewed their cove
nant vow, and Jonathan declared unto David,
“Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will do it
| for thee,”
Jonathan, out of filial regard for his father,
was slow to believe thathe was really contemn
plating so base a thing as taking the lfe of
David. Yet David was well couvinced of the
fact, and dared no longer trust Lis life in (he
power of the King. 1t was therefore agreed,
that at the feast of the new moon, David
should be absent from the King's table, and
then Jonathan would probably know the miud
ofhisfather. It was agreed that Davitshould
be absent three days, and then return and hide
himself by the “Sione Ezel.”* Jonathan
was then to go out and shoot three arrows, as
if he shot at a mark. 1l hetold the lad, “Be
hold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take
them,” then David was to be assured of Saul's
peaceable intentions : butif he said, *Behold,
| the arrows are beyood thee," then David was
to hasten away as soon as possible. The lat
ter condition was necessmy, and after many
affectionate embraces, *‘they kissed one an
other, aud wept one with another, until Da
vid exceeded.” ‘T'hen in great griet the two
young men separated,
We cannot too warmly recommend our
lyuung readers to turn to the seventeenth
chapter of Samuel, read this most interesting
narrative, and then strive to cultivate the same
pure sentiments of attachiment to each other.
And wisely did the founders of Odd Fellow
ship incorporate this touching narrative into
their superior ceremonies, as the basis of in
struction in the pertformance of those frater
ual duties which every right -minded member
will ever cheerfully perform. Pure brotherly
lpve, without consanguine relatiows, is the
sentunent bere beautifully illustrated.
* “The Btone of Ezel” was a direction for the traveller,
and served the purpose of the guide post of the present day.
A liar is a coward to man aud a bravoe to his
God.

The fact is well established by medieal writers, that
Phithisis, Palinonahis or Consumption, a disease most fatul
inthis country, most gencrally originates 1w scrofulous
stute of the system. Diseases of the Liver and Aflections
of the Billinry Secretions often originate with persons of
Serofulons trint. . Bat before such diseases can ‘m mitiga
ted or arrested, this Serofulous Diathesis mu«t he removed,
This the present preparation is warranted offictually to do.
The fonmutn was laid bhetfore the New Hawpshire Medi
eal Hociety, and was there approved. And the celebrated
Dr. T'witchell, of Keene, N, 11., who has porsonally tested
ite virtnes, anud approves and prescribes this mfllvirine in
his general practice, pronounces it I'he BEXT PREPARA
TION OF SARSAPARILLA EVER KNOWN,” and cor

The Greatesi Advantage in Price, and every
secuvity as to quality given.
In consequence of the great redaction in the price of Ters

reduced prices ; and it is acknowledged by many persons
that they cannot get so good tea of any kind,

N. B.—Ltforts have been made and are now making to
induce the belief in the deterioration ot Tea in packages,
8o far is this trom being the case that we can honestly as
sure the public that the Teas are better ; the reason bein
that they are taken out of the original chestat once, nm'{
put into aictight packages, hined with lead and sealed,
and there can be no possible damage. Whereas let a gro
cer keep his teain a chest or cannister, and take the cover
off to help his customers to tea, then, of course, a prejudice
against tea handiod in such a manner would have a good
foundation. ROWE & (0., Agents,

TIIR subscriber having purchased of Josiah Platt the
right, in the States of Rhode Island, sassachusetts,
Connecticut, east of the river, and four counties in New
Hampshire, of manking, wsing and vending to others Platt’s
Patent Portable Grist Milly, would respectfully inform the
public that he 1s now prepared to sell lLu above Mills, with
rights for towns not dispesed of. "Che pecnliarities of this
Milly winich render it superior to any now in use, consist in
the simple manner of adjusting the runner, it heing sins
pended by means of a hollow serew at the upper end of the
spindle, by which any pressure can be produced, therehy
superceding the necessity of driving so heavy a stone as
those of the old fashioned mill 3 and being but 24 feet in
dimeter, the work is done much nearer the centre, and re
quires but abont two-thirds the power nsed by the common
il to do the same amount of work ; and considering the
cost of the Mill, which i« 125, with French burr stone, the
saving of power, the convenience in tetiding and keeping
inorder and its durability, it 1s acknowledged to be by far
the most improved Mil in use.
Some 50 of the above Mills have been sold by the sub
scriber within the past year, and they have secured a uni
versal testimony in their favor. “I'wo of these Mills are in
constant use by Pemis & Whitney, at No. 2 Central street

» CHICKERING'S PIANO FORTES,
THE following i=an extraet from the re
port of the committee on musica! instri
mentsatthe fourth exhibiton of the Massa -
chusetts Charitable Mechanic Ao ation,
held at Quiney Hall, in the city of Boston, Sept, 17, 1844 ;
There is one manufueurer, however, w hose instruments
take precedence of all others, with so ungiestiousble o pre
eminence, that the committee felt not the shishtcst hesita
tion in recommending the award to him of gold medal
and this they did on two gronnds, not only Tor the (l--('ulet‘
superiority of his square Pianos, but for the nneommon
merit of his grand Pianos, which itis uo cxnoee ition to
say way be fearlessly placed in competition wih the hest
that Europe ean produce., Mr. Chickering’s Pianos of both
kinds are of so delightful a tone, so delicate ¢ Lo, amd so
firm and enduring construetion, that they necd uo medals
to give thom celebrity ; and it might secm supertluons to
ive encouragement to one who has already recewved the
fiinhcst commendations, But the commitice were appoint
ed not simply to give encourngelent to ANy persons, but to
decide according to their ability upon the relative rank of
the instruments presented to thew, and it would be noth
ing short of glaring injustice to lay aside the elains of the
instruments acknowledged tobe the hest, beentse the mak
er of thein had always produced the best. =0 el the
more does he deserve the highest reward for his shill, en
terprise and industey, especially when Le is geen to go on
diligently and steadily in the course of fnproven nt, and
his competitors find, as they arrive at one point where he
has long stood before them, that he has veachied snother yot,
and that without much more than common pced, they
cannot overtake one who unites with all their avbition, a
erseverance which may be equalled but not surpassed.
Llr. Chickering’s manutacture is all honor to the ecmmuni
ty, in the opinion of the committee, and they wonld omit
no proper u|-|-munil'y of hearing testitmony toan excellence
which makes them feel more proad of their ciry,”
