The ashen hue-flecked clouds o'erhead v Swift through the air went cleaving, r While on the ocean's placid bed The waves began upheaving, Full soon the ebon hugh of night Began the sky o'erwreathing, e And nature seemed filled with fright, Marked by her labored breathing. I Anon, bursts forth the doleful sound- 'J The harbor's awful moaning; t1 And earth, and sea, and sky-all 'round, With agony seemed groaning. t Quick through the pall hung o'er the sky The lightning's dart is flashing; While 'gainst the beech, the rooks so high, i1 The waves are madly dashing. 11 Hark ! what sound breaks on the air? c The thunder's loud complaining; While with a force that comes but rare, 11 In torrents now-'tis raining. The morning mists begin to break On shores so whitely gleaming; h While oceans stormy crested wake With placid smiles is beaming. Above, the sun pours dewy each ray Through clouds of snowy whiteness; While here below a perfect day Assures us of its brightness. OUT IN THE STORM. t She stood with the open letter in her 1i hand, trembling and and-pale, and at a last had to clutch at the nearest chair s1 to keep herself from falling. 0 "ft is all over I" site cried, after a 1c while putting her hand to her forehead n with a dazed look; "all over-all over! 8i And yet, oh, h1ow I loved him !" The match between Lydia Tren- b tham and Leonard Drake had been a I runaway one. Her family was richer si than his, and ambitious that she should a make a great alliance, for sihe was - beautiful and accomplished, and had such a charming manner that every- re body raved about her. When, there- ti fore site fell in love with Leonard tl Drake, who had but a comparatively I small competence, and no business h knowledge whatever, her father an- L grily bade her to dismiss such a lover hi for ever from her thoughts. But with h Lydia. as with most romantic girls, this stern decree acted only as an ad ditional incentive. She thought her father unjust, and went on loving d Drake more than ever. She eloped. e, From that day her parents looked on d her as on the dead. c "She had made her bed, let her lie tl in it," said her father savagely. hi There had been only one cloud on g the happiness of the wife. She had ft come to ier husband penniless when he had aright to expect a fortune and o0 shet feared that some day lie might S regret his choice. All at once, like a. thunderholt out of a clear sky, came the crushing blow which destroyed cl her happiness in one hour. In his bachelor days, and before he sI imet I4ydia Trenthamn. Leonard Drake's k name had been associated with a bean- ni tiful girl who afterwards married a is Mr. Dorchester, a banker. People tl said site had never loved him, but that at her heart had been given to Leonard a D)rake; that Leonard had really loved her, and that Miss Bently had only sc taken the rich banker "because," asc she said, "Leonard and herself were d too poor to marry." it Lydia, at the time heaIring these c things, had not been withoutjealousy; fe but the entire devotion of Leonalrd t had, in the the end satisfied her; and for years she had forgotten even the o0 existence of Mrs. )Dorchtester. f Suddenly Mrs. Dorchester had ap- ti pIearedl at the summner resort where I1 the DIrakes were residing temploraily. st Here she had renewed her acquaint- t ance with Leonard. Mrs. Dorchester u was a widow now; notes began to pass ti between her and Lydia's husband; B and twice the wiife had detected them ci walking together in the dusk of thile cl evening. 1 For weeks shcehlad struggledl against coniviction, hoping towards the last t against hope, until this day, when she ai hadl found a torn and crumpled letter hidden between the pages of a book, rf the first words of winch drove her al- hi most insane. She renmembered now n; that she had surprised her husband ni that morning reading a letter, which, to her astonishment, hie had shuffled st into an open volumne before him, but d she had not noticed what book it was s and it was by accident only she now p discovered it. Y It was but one part of a letter, how- w ever, that she found. The paper had k evidently been torn into several pieces if and only a portion had been thrust t( into the book as if (so she reasoned now) her husband's agitation had de- s1 prived him for the moment of his self- s control. Under any other circum stances a paper belonging to Leonard t< would have been sacredl to her, but j when sihe saw the first significant di words, "We must keep the secret," t she read Mrs. Dorchester's signature p, at the end. t Much was lost, all was more or less ni incoherent, but enough remained to convince the tortured wife that every- ts thing was over for her in the way of oi happiness in this world. it She remained there for nearly half an hour, dazed, crushed, not knowing ei as yet what to do. The door opened it at last and old D)orcas came in. Old " Doreas thad been Lydia's nurse and al had followed her after marriage, the tl only one poor or rich, that had stuck hi to iher fallen fortunes. She started a back on seeing the ashy face of her bi mistress. el "What is it V" said Lydia, rousing j herself. "A note from Mr. Drake," was the o0 reply. "But deary me, are you ill, n ma'am 1" "No, I am quite well, answer ed the poor wife, with a great effort. m "Ah, I see that Mr. Driake writes hlie i is going to join a party to go up to fs Dover not to return till to-night, if I tl will excuse his coming back to dinner." b "Yes," Dorcas said vaguely, o "The man who brought the note ti waits for an answer. Tell him to say hi to Mr. Drake, "Go by all means, I haven't time or I would write." I Dorcas started off, but her mistress' it voice again made her pause. "When you have sent him away come to my room--I want you." There was a little delay, but when Dorcas entered the room her mistress was busy with.a traveling-bag. "Dorcas,". said she, "you have been with me all my life-do you want to remain with me still 1" The voice was so cold, the face so white Dorcas dared make no scene. "I will go with you to' the world's end, ma'am," she answered, feelingly. "Then get ready. I am going to Boston-on from there as tast as I can. Tell nobody. Get your things out of the house as secretly as possible." "Going where t What'is the niat ter t" groaned Dorcas. "If you can't be quiet and obey without a question you might stay be hind," Lydia answered, in the same hard natural voice. "Be quick and choose-I have no time to waste." She sat down' and wrote a letter to her husband, inclosed the torn pages she had found, and poured out the mad jealousy of the past weeks that had this day culminated. "I have done now, she Wrote. "Peo ple were right; you loved her and not I me; and now that she is rich and I am poor, I am too proud to wait till I am I cast off. So I go, and you need not followi you could not find me even if I you wished. Remember that hence forth your life is free from me. Think 1 of me as dead, if you like. In your hands is the only proof of our marri age-destroy it; nothing will then stand between you and peace. I have only to beg you to forgive me for al- 1 lowing you to link your fate with a miserable and impoverished wife in stead of with an heiress, asyou hoped" The letter ended as abruptly as it began; and was sealed and placed on i Drake's writing-table. Dorcas came 1 softly into the room crying a little in 1 a quiet way. Everything was ready -they could go. Late that evening Leonard Drake I returned to be horrified by the news 1 that his wife was not there, though 1 the domestic had supposed, from what Dorcas said that she and her mistress I had gone to Dover to meet Mr. Drake. Leonard took a light and hurried to I his room where the first object to meet his eyes was the letter Lydia had I written. Five years had elapsed since Lydia's disappearance. But she looked older even than that. The agony of that day; the horrid flight afterwards; the constant fear of discovery, and lastly 4 the struggle for bread, combined with i her never-ending heartache, had be- I gun to cut wrinkles in her still fair face. In all this time she had never heard of her husband nor of her early home. She was too proud to return to her father. "I will starve first," she often said, 4 clenching hands. Whether Leonard was alive or dead she did not know nor did she wish to know. Sometimes she said to herself, moaning on her pillow at night, "He is with Mrs. )orchester," and the thought went through her heart with I actual physical pain, like the stab of a knife. She and her faithful Dorcas were I settled in Boston now, in an obscure I corner, as the least likely place to be f discovered. She earned a scanty liv- c ing, and it was of the scantiest by coloring photographs. Into the more I fashionable streets she never ven tured, except when slhe had to go to sell sketclhes, or get orders. On one of the occasions she camne suddenly face to face with Mrs. Dorchester. SIhe turned and fled immediately, regard less of her errand-ftied down side streets and close alleys-and only stopped to breathe when she had reaclhed her humble lodging in one of tile most secluded parts of the city. But hardly had she begun to tell Dor cas that they must fly when Mrs. Dor chester unannounced forced herself into the room. "I have followed you," said the lat ter, unceremoniously, as Lydia rose angrily. "I will speak Mrs. Drake." "Have the kindness to leave my room," answered Lydia. tottering to her feet. "I don't know you nor the name by which you have addressed me." "You have been mad long enough," sternly exclaimed her visitor, sitting down, "Try to come back to your senses I shall not go until I have ex plained. A few words will do it. Your husband and I, instead of being wlhatyou thought, were trying to keep a great misfortune from you, or, if that could not be done, to break it to you carefully." There was an air of trutlh about tihe speaker that staggered Lydia. She sank nervelessly into a chair. "I must tell the whole story in order to exculpate ourselves," said Mrs. Dorchester. "Your fthler got into difficulties, forged my husband's name to a large amount, and was on the point of exposure when Mr. Dorches ter died. The affairs then came into my hands to settle." Lydiasatleaning both elbows on tile table before her, her face supported on her hands, listening and looking as i if at her doomster. "I could have prosecuted your fath er, but it would have sent him to die in prison,"continued Mrs. Dorchester, "and would have publicly disgraced all his family. You, I knew by name the wife of my cousin, with whom I had been brought up in the country as a clild and whom I loved as a 1 brother, nothing more," she added emphatically, "Besides I was a wo- 1 man, and I hope not a cruel one, so I 1 refused to prosecute, suffered timhe loss of the money and hushed the matter up." A groan burst from Lydia. Mrs. Dorchestor went on: "Tlhen I met your husband unexpectedly. He lhad received somenl hints about your father, and ie insisted on knowing tihe truth. He then said you ought to be told. But I replied that it would only pain you needlessly; if you con tinued Astranged you might never hear the story. He answered that it would come to your ears, sooner or later. This is whly you saw us talk ing so much together, and why, on several occasions, le sought private nears wonm :oseoat to ten yo~ p secret. But hardly bhadhe gone be.

My reward is that you have belier ed me a vile woman. There, that's the' whole. I've told the story; perhaps I in a hard way; Pm sorry for you, all 1 the same. Thank God. I've found 1 you !" .. She bad risen while speaking and º caught Lydia's dress in the excite- ' ment of telling her hurried, 'tle. I Lydia's gaze, which at tret'had been . fixed on her so angrily, had fallen be- , fore her; she hid her face in her hands; and now, as Mrs. Dorchester ceased, I the wretched listener sank senseless to the floor. When Lydia revived Mrs. Dorches- 1 ter finished. Leonard Drake had I spent three years in searching for his 4 wife, and the last time Mrs. Dorches ter had heard from him he was living I in Morrisania, N. Y. The next morning saw Lydia and I Dorcas on their way to N. Y. It had been snowing when .they 1 reached the metropolis and by the I time they left the railway-train which I they had takemnin. Mord sania it had settled into a heavy storm. Lydia wanted to walk; so Dorcas wrapped I a water-proof cloak about her, drew I the hood over her head and did her 4 best to shelter hern "Ask how we go !" was all her mis tress said. "Be quick-I want to start; but I must walk-I should go mad." Dorcas stepped into a hotel near a the station and made her inquiries. I The road was straight enough. Mr. a Leonard Drake, she was told, lived out beyond the town a little: she would know the place by such and such directions. They were less than half an hour 4 on the way. They reached the man sion, a handsome dwelling, half town- I house, half villa, with a long garden attached. They mounted the steps 1 and Dorcas ran the bell. "You ask," she heard her mistress i whisper. She caught a sight of her face. It a was lined and seamed with pain; the 4 dark eyes fairly strained and dilated I with suspense. j "Is Mr. Leonard Drake in ?" Dor- I cas asked. "No; lie is in New York. Mrs. Drake is at home." Instinctively Dorcas reached out I her arm to support Lydia as she ask ed, "Who is that-his mother " "No; his wife. Do you want to see her I" asked the servant rather curtly, beginning to think thein people in search of charity and not liking to cun counter the cold ail. "No," Dorcas said. "Hlow long has lie been married ?" I "About six mouths." A low choked whisper firom her companion reached l)Dorcs. It said, "comne away ! Quick ! Conme !" Dorcas turned without a word and support(ed her mistess down the steps. Lydia did tnot speak. l)orcas could I not. She put her arm about her mis ,tress and dlrew hir on as fiast as she 1 could. Thle house stood in a plot of 1 gromnl by itself. They turnedl the 1 corner. where the garden led down a side street. "Wait" said Lydia suddenly. "I can't go any further; let me rest a lit tie. Only don't speak to me-don't say a word." They sat down on the jutting line of stone that supported the iron fence, 1 I)oreas half sustaining her mistress, who crouched forward, hiding her face with one hand. Dorcas bent over to see her face-it was distorted by an guish. "Mistress, dear !" site sobbed, "Only 1 speak-only-"-" "Hush!" muttered Lydia. "Come away; I can walk now. Let me alone; I don't talk yet. Help me up; I can walk." Dorcas was assisting her to rise, when a gentleman turned into the I street a little way down and walked i rapidly towards them. Muffled though he was in his great coat, Dorcas knew him and uttered a cry of terror. "It's his step," whispered Lydia. "Sit down-he'll not know us! II promised never to trouble him! I must keep my word. Don't look up, Dorcas. Sit down, I any !" The very act attracted the attention of the gentleman. He halted in front of them, saying, "Why do you sit here in this storm 1" Neither answered. Dorcas felt Lydia's hand press her arm like a hand of stone. "Can't either of you speak " he continued, rather impatiently. "This is not weathor for two women to be sitting outof doors." Still no answer! Some mad idea that she could pull Dorcas away; and I run from him, seized Lydia. She at tempted it. The hood fell from her face. He knew her, and cried, "Lydia, Lydia!" a She felt that she was fainting; that hlie had caught her in his arms; then an awful blackness closed over her. When consciousness came back she Sthought at first she must be dead; Sthen she knew thatshe was in a warm, Sbright room. She saw Dorcas, a Syoung, pretty lady near the bed, then I Leonard, and shrieked aloud. She was held fast in his arms again; Shis voice sounded close to her ear. "Lie still, darling; it's all clear.

ANOTHER HORRIBLE MUBDELB On Monilay night last, at the store of Lipman Kahn, at the Indian Vil lage, in this parish, a drunken broil occurred between some Irishmen, 1 when two'or three closed upon one of the number, actually beat and kicked I him so badly that after being put in a cart and brought to this place he .j died. Coroner Schwing held an in quest and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. Three of the parties in the fight have been arrested and accused of murder-James Farrell, Tom Welsh and Timothy Tracy. The two for mer are in jail awaiting preliminary examination, Tracy has been turned 1 out of jail on his own recognisance, 1 for examination before the parish judge failed to show that. he was a party to the murder, although pres ent at the time. This was a most brutal'murder, and the murderers should suffer condign punishment.-Plaquemine Sonth. A REMARKABLE IASE. Fellcsiaa Sentinel. From a gentleman visiting the town of Jadkson, a few days since, we learn the following particulars of a remark- i able case of hpdrophobia: A strange dog was seen to rush down one of the principal streets, and in its pro gress overtook a goose, and biting the same, passed on, and before being checked by a gun-shot, bit some half dozen other animals, among whom was a very fine specimen belonging to Mr. Guy Rogillio. The remarkable' part of the proceeding lies in the fact that almost immediately on being bitten, the goose as well as the dogs 1 became rabid and proceeded to snap and bite at every creature in sight. A hog in the streets was also bitten I and became rabid. "It was queer," says our informant, "to notice the an tics oC the goose, especially in its wild endeavors to bite every crea ture in its course." The hog, goose and some half-dozen dogs were killed by the frightened inhabitants. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday evening last some three or fouryoung men from the neighborhood of Down ville, in this parish, started for the pigeon-roost, some five miles from this place. When a mile from town - a flock of pigeons passed over their heads, and one of the boys, David Rainey, in drawing his gun from the wagon, with the muzzle towards him, accidentally discharged it, the con tents lodging in his left side. He lingered in greht pain for about an hour and a half, when he expired. The deceased was about nineteen years of age, and the son of a widow ed mother.

MELANCIIOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT -The most melancholy accident we have been called on to chronicle for a long time occurred at the residence of' one of our most esteemed citizens, Capt. T. L. Morse, on Wednesday, the 25th nit. The Captain's youngest child, a dear little girl only about 19 months old; swallowed some concen trated lye, and although every means to save the little snfferer's life that human iugenuity could devise was re sorted to, sihe died the following morning. Capt. Morse and his wife have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad be reavement.-Sugar Bowl. "There's something about your daughiter," Mr. Wanugliop said, refleo tivel'y, "there's somethiig about your daughter-" "Yes," said old Mr. Thistlepod, "there is, I have noticed it myself. It comes every evening about eight o'clock, and it doesn't get away usually till about two. And some of these nights I am going t lift it all the way from the front par lor to the side gate, and see what there is in it."
