SENTINEL. GRENADA t , , ., , , Years ago, at the grand cathedral overlooking the Rhine, there appeared a mysterious organist. T he great composer who had played the organ so loug had suddenly died, and e.cry boJy, from the King to the peasant, was wondering who could be found to ill his place, when, one bright Sab hath morning, as the sexton entered the church, he saw a stranger sitting at the crape shrouded or^an. lie was a tall, graceful man, with a pale hut strikingly handsome face, groat black, melancholy eyes, and hair like the raven's wing for gloss aud color, sweeping in dark waves over is shoulders. He did not seem to notice the sexton, but weut on playing, an *ueh music as he drew from the in tirument no wards of mine oan de sofibe. The astonished listener de dhtred that the organ seemed to have g«w.n ^M-that tt wailed an .ebmoted. aa if a tonureu uu u inart were, throbbing tnrougn its Jtiant. ' " .1 . h«d at, length Whon tho va i a eeaadata sexion tosteneu to me straBger and asked him v w. „ nrfl ton ? 1 .ray, who are you r Do not ask my name, p "I have heard that you arc in «n rtriwnist and I have come want of an organist, ana i nave cu he*W Ott. trial. ,, ** You 11 be sure to get the place, exclaimed thjf .**«»■ surpasft-hvai that s dead aoagona ^ " N<*,. n», you overrate me, ic sumcA.the stranger, with a smi e; an then, a* if disinclined to conver=a tion, he turned from old Hans aud began to play »gmn. Anii now ^e musio changed from a sorrowful strain grand old p®an, the mysterious T1IE MYSTERIOUS ORGANIST. A LEGEND OF THE RHINE. Cd. to a organist, * Looking upwards full of grace, l>r*y, till from a happy place God's glory smote him in the face/' and countenance that of St. Michael, portrayed by Guido. Lost in the melodies which swelled around him, he sat with his " far seeing " eyes fixed on the distant sky, a glimpse of which he caught through an open window, when there stir about the church door, and was a a royal party came sweeping in. Among them miglit be seen a bright young girl with a wreath of golden nair, eyes like the vio let's hue, and lips like the wild cherries. This was the Princess Elizabeth, and all eyes were turned to her, as she seated herself in the velvet-cushioned pew appropriated to the court. The mysterious organist fixed his eyes upon her, and went on playing. No sooner had the music reached her ears than sho started as if a ghost had crossed her path. The blood laded from her crimson clieck, Ret lips quivered, and her whole frame grew tremulous. At last her eyes met those o£ the organist in a loug yearning look, and then tho melody lost its joyous notes and once more wailed and sighed and clamored. " By faith," whispered the King to his daughter, "this organist has a master hand. Hark ye, he shall play at your wedding." The pale lips of the princess parted, hut she could not speak—she dumb with grief. like orie'in a painful dream she saw the pale man at the organ, and heard the melody which filled the vast edifioe. Ay, full well Bhc knew who it was and why the instrument seemed breathing out the agony of a tortured heart. Whan the services were over, and the royal party had left the cathedral, he stole away ae mysteriously as he had come. He was not seen again by the sexton till the vesper hour, and then he appeared in the organ loft, and commenced his task. While he played, a veiled figure glided in, and knelt near a side shrine. There she remained tilt the worshippersdis ap peared, when the sexton touched her the shoulder and said : 1 Madam, everybody has gone but you aud me, and I wish to close the doors." " I am not ready to go yet," was the reply—" leave me 1" The sexton drew back into a shady niche, and watched and listened. The mysterious organist still kept his post l,«t his head was b ;wcd upon the )u>truinent and he could not see the lane devotee. At length she horn the aisle, and moving to the v. : - on rose or^an loft paused beside the organ ]iurir»«i" shefcunmirod. Quick as thought the organist raised his head- There, with the light of a lamp suspended to the arch above falling full upou her stood the Princess who had graced the royal pew that day. The court dress of volvot, with its ermine trimmings, the tiara, the necklace, the bracelets, had boon exchanged for a grey serge robe and a long thick veil, which was now pfishod buck from the fair girlish fac». a « \\'hy are you here, Bctram ?" Wired the Princess. " I came to bid you farewell; and as I dare fiot venture into the palace, I gained access to the cathedral by bribing the bellringer, and having taken the vacant seat of tho dead organist, let my music breath out the adieu I could uot trust my lips to utter." A low moan was the only answer, and he continued: " You are to he married on the morrow ?" " Yes," sobbed the girl. Bertram, what'a trial it will be to stand af ydndor ajtf r, and take upon me tho vows which will doom me to living death!" " Think of me," rejoined the or gantist. " Your royal father has quested me to play at the wedding, and I have promised to be here. If j were r j j cou |,i p e the ^degrUoin instead of the- organist; j, u t a poor musician must give up." <■ it is like rending soul and body ugsuu j cr to part with you," said the ■... q' 0 .night p may tell you this— ^ bow fondly I love you, but j n a few ll0uv8 it wiU bo a s i u \ (jo, am , q od b)cg8 you » g be wa ; ve j i,i m from her, as if she woulJ banig]l hiul wbile sbe bad the _ owerto do so, and he—how was it witb y m ? pj y rose to leave her, tben be cau)e bac p bc ]d h e f to his bear j. j n a ] 0D g eln brace, and with a ^ a ]f smothered farewell left her. q' be next morning dawned in c jondless splendor, and at an early b()ur lbe ca t)j e( fr a j was thrown open, an( . , bc seX ( 0U began to prepare for the wedding. Flame-colored flowers no( jded by the wayside—flame-colored leaves came rushing down from the trecs „ n( j ) ay ln heaps upon the g roun( j. an d the ripe wheat waved like a golden sea, and berries dropped • 10 red and purple clusters over the Voc k 8 a l 0Dg the Rhine. At length the palace' gates were , r , 5* j opened and the royal partyappeared, escorting the Princess Elizabeth to tJ| cat h c dral, where her marriage a u 1 • 1 was to be solemnized. It was a brave pageant; fur brigntw Qr ^an the untwined foliage c,nd blossoms, were the tufts of plumes floated from stately aeads and f es [ a j I0 p, e s that streamed down over housings of the superb steeds, p ut p r : fleess mounted on a snow Ob, re palfrey,-and clad in snowswhite vel vet, looked pale and sad ; and when, on nearing the church, she heard a gusli of organ-musio v hich, though jubilant in sound, struck on her ear like a funeral knell, she trembled and a knell, would have fal'en to the earth had not a page supported her. A few minutes afterwards she entered the cathedral. There, with his retinue, stood the Royal bride-groom, whom she had never before seen. But her glance roved from him to the organ loft, there she had expected to see the mysterious organist. He was gone, and she was obliged to return the graceful bow of the King, to whom she had been betrothed from motives of policy. Mechanically she knelt at his side on the-alter stone; mechani cally listened fjo the service and made the responses. Then husband drew her to him in a convulsive embrace, and whispered : " Elizabeth, my queen, my wife, look up I" Trembling in every limb, she obey ed. Why do those dark eyes thrill her so ? Why did that smile bring a glow on her cheeks? Ah! though the King wore the royal purple, and many a jeweled order glittered on his breast, ho seemed the same humble person who had been employed to teach organ music, and had taught her the lore of love. " Elizabeth," murmered the mon arch. terious organist, and King Oscar, are one. Forgive my stratagem. I wished to marry you but I would not drag to the altar an unwilling bride. Your father was in the se cret." While tears of jby rained from her eyes, the new made queen re turned her husband's fond kisses, and for once two hearts were made happy by a royal warriago. Bertram Hoffman, the mya The Armless Artist. —0 Caesar Duooront was born in Lille; France, January 10,1806. Born as he was without arms, what was there for him to do, even in this busy world? Each foot had four toes, hut he early learned, to use these with advantage. When very young he could with ease throw a ball, cut with a knife, and draw linos on the floor with chalk, and 1 could even cut figures on paper with his mother's scissors. He early became a good penman. From this be passed to drawing, and naturally enough to painting, the wide space between his great toe and the next enabling him to grasp his papers firm ly. At the age of thirteen his pro gress astonished Watteau, professor at the School of Design in Lille, who received him as a pupil. Only three years later, ho took the tirat prize tor the drawing of tho human fi*"* 1 * from nature, After this he pursued his Studies in Paris. He was. of a lively temperament,, and when in con versation he became animated, he was in the habit of gesticulating with his legs. Some one has described visit to his painting room, which is interesting. "Across ills whole extent of the canvas ran, with incredible agility, like a fly upon the wall, the stunted trunk of a man, surmounted by a noble bead, with expansive brow and eye of fire ; and wherever the appira tion passed along the canvas, he left the truces of color behind him.

We are satisfied that the friends of the Times will appreciate the motives which prompt us to furnish a good family newspaper at a price which can only prove remunerative by an im mense subscription, and we, therefore, take the liberty of requesting every friend of the rights and liberties of the southern people, to »et as our agents in obtaining subscriptions for, aud ia sustaining ft manly and independent journal —a journal at all times devotea to the best and most cherished interest* of the Southern people. ln politics the Times will, ns heretofore, be democratic and anti radical in all things.
