Near noon, the 6th of September, , 442, a man laboring under great ex citement was walking hurriedly up Roadway, New York. Ills features were flushed and convulsed his glances wild and restless, his whole mien indicative of keen anguish. Turning to the right into Bleeckor street, he soon reached a plain three story and basement brick house, to which he gave himself admittance. "Are you there, Ruth?" he called from the hall. A step was heard overhead follow ed by the rustling of a dress, and a young lady descended the front stairs. Despite several points ofmarked con trast, there was a faultily likeness about the couple that proclaimed them brother and sister; "Why. what's the matter, Luke?" cried the latter, starting at sight of the disturbed countenance that met her view.

I must have worship ped her, or else this thing would not have so completely upset me." "Oh, as to that, the lass of a thing always gives us an exaggerated no, tion of its value," said the sister phi losophically, as she sank languidly into an easy chair, and smoothed out a fold in her showy morning robe. " You are simply shocked, as you my. But, by to-morrow, you wilt laugat the whole matter." "Don't Ruth !" implored the brother, sinking heavily into the nearest chair. "Clara Aymar is more to me than my life! My love for her is a delirium! It's no such passing fancy as you suppose, but ev erlasting passion—a rage—a flood of molten lava! And I've counted all along upon marrying her. True, she has rejected me twice, but I thought she'd change her mind—" "She was in no way committed to you?" "No, of course not. She has nev er given me any encouragement. But lam none the less surprised. I supposed that everything was favor able enough to my wishes. I knew that she was still young to marry— an orphan—with , ut money and without - friends—presumably with out suitors, and I flattered myself that she couldn't, always remain in sensible to my attentions.'' "You reasoned wisely enough of course, Luke; but reason never de cities these matters." declared the sister, with a sort of contemptuous compassion. "A whim—a chance meeting—a smile or a word—a mo ment's weakness—any trifle—these are the things by which marriages are brought about. But who is the bridegroom?" "Ah! that's a point that will touch you n little , I think. Can't you guess who he is?" "I haven't the least idea." "Well then, he's Will. Hawley." The sister sprung abruptly to her feet, clasping both handsto her heart. The changing colors of her brother, his agitation, his anguish, all, passed to her own features. "Will. Hawley?" she gasfrl. "Oh, you don't mean It, Luke!" "But I do though.j/ft's Cod's truth. ('Tarn la Aymar ant Will. Haw ley are husKsnd and *lre." A heavy fall succeeded. The sis ter had fainted. She lay upon the floor ItS one dead. ''Did she think that much of Haw ley?" muttered the brother aston ished. "I didn't suppose—" He hastened to bring a pitcher of water and bathe the white features, and set himself to chafing the clench ed hands. Capt. Luke Pedder was twenty seven years of age, with an originally light complexion, which had redden ed with generous living and - bronzed with exposure to wind and sun. His form was of the average size find height, and his features of the mast ordinary type. He was singularly selfish and unscrupulous,, hut of gen tlemanly manners, being ' well educa ted and used to good society. His ability as a navigator was fair for a man of his age and experience, but he owed his position as commander of a fine Australian clipper, more to' respect for his late father and to sym pathizing favor than to his own mer its. Bliss Ruth Tedder was two years younger than her brother, and con sequently twenty-five years of age, although she owned to only twenty. She was tall, thin, mut a little in clined in her outlines, as in her tem per, to angularity. She was not par- Ocularly bright, but she was hold and unscrupulous, and possessed a fierce energy which was capable of cotripensating in any emergency for lack of census. The father of the couple had been a nmminent ship-owner and merchant. But in his latter days thesenlor Ped der had been unfortunate, and had finally been broken up completely— a result hastened, it was whispered, -TO (TIIAXt,DOOLIS ABOVE PWA MtVOt) r c Our Greatest SpeciOfigp United Sluice (Mariam) Watches.

The old man's failure had soon been followed by his death, and already—for such Is fame: —he way generally forgotten. _ "How odd it is!" ejaeulated Capt. Pedder, as he rubbed hill sister's cold hands. "She madly In love with Will. Hawley, and I crazy after Clara Aymar! And now Will. and Clam are married, and Ruth and I are left out In the cold." Under the vigorous treatment ho had adopted. Miss Pedder soon re covered her senses. "Are you sure they're married?" she -demanded. "Perfectly. I learned the fact half an hour since from Hawley's com mander—Captain Greggli, you know. Captain Greg,gs was at the wedding. It took place last Friday evening— the very evening after flawley's re turn from his last voyage to Rio. It was a quiet affair. Only a few friends were invited. But let me ask you a question. Did Hawley ev er promise to you?" "No. Buti expected that he would soon do so. Ho has been here often enough—" "Yes, he cameseveral times to ask me for a berth in my clipper. I promised to think of him at the first opening, and I really meant to help him, for I knew .in a general tway that you liked him." "I thought he'd realize that you could be of service to him," explain ed Miss Pedder. "I thought he'd remember that mother left ine this house and a few thousand dollars to do as I pleased with. I was con cious, too, that I possessed a fair share of personal attractions. And as, I supposed him to be entirely heart free, I took it for granted that I should get him. His attentions seem ed marked enough—" ',Me treated you politely, of course," Interrupted Pedder, •'and he couldn't have well done less. after asking me to befriend him. But he never made any formal declaration?" "No, he didn't. As mate of a Rio ship, he was away seven•eights of the time, and I didn't expect a regu lar courtship. But I took it for granted—" Pedder made an impatient gest ure. "We've deceived ourselves," he muttered. "We've been carried away by our feelings.• The girl's re jection of me was really Intended to he final, and Hawley's visits here were merely visits of business and friendship, But why Clara should prefer Hawley to me I can't Imag ine," added Pedder, drawing him self up haughtily. "Hawley has neither name, nor money, nor posi tion!" Nor can I see why Hawley should prefer Clara Aymar to me ."' said Miss Pedder, as she glanced at her reflection in one of the long mirrors near her. She's a hired attendant, or something of that kind—the creat ure." "I'd no idea that you thoireht so much of Hawley," observed the brother, as hestrove to calm' his pain ful emotions. redder moaned. Her eyes tilled with tears. "I thonght all the world of him,' she murmured. A long silence fell between the couple. "Well, well, they're husband and wife," nt length muttered Pedder hoarsely. "And this. I suppose, is all there Is tobe said." Miss Pedder compressed her lips until they bled, staring at her broth er with a fixedness amounting to ferocity. - "No! no!" she breathed fiercely. 40r)......app ghat}rwt end here. That marriage—that abominable ...... riage- 1, She clutched at her heart again, as If suffocating. Pedder opened his eyes widely. "Why. what can we do!" he que ried. "You wouldn't have me mur der Hawley, I suppose? That wouldn't make him your husband. And, on the other hand, It wouldn't do me any good if you were to kill Clara Avmar." "But there is a way. Luke, of un doing that marriage." Pedder started toward his sister, as if electrified. "Do you mean it?" he demanded. "I mean it, and• I swear it! I'll never consent to that girl's having Hawley! I'll dig a gulf between them as broad as the ocean ! I'll undo that marriage, or die!" "Softly! Where is Kate?" He referred to the single servant "She's out for the day," answered Miss Pedder, 'arising and planting herself in a chair. "There was little to do, you know, as I did not expect you home until dinner." "Then no one will hear us." lie drew a chair nearer to that of his sister and sat down beside her. "What's your idea ?" he asked, in a whisper. "My idea is to seperate them ; to turn their love to hate: to dig a pit beneath their feet that will remain open forever !" "Itut how?" Will. Hawley is poor Isn't he?" "Certainly there is no mistake about that. His mother was a help less invalid for the last ten years of her life, and Will. insisted on her us ing for her comfort every penny he earned. It hasn't been six months since he was relieved of that burden. He's poor you say—as poor as Job's turkey !" "Then he'll have to leave his darl ing Clara," sneered Miss Pedder ven omously "He'll have to absent him self from his decry in order to earn their mutual bread and butter. In short, he'll have to go to sea again?" "Well, yes; I suppose he will," as sented Pedder. "He can get better wages at sea than elsewhere. He'll sail again soon no doubt." _I thought as much. And the sea is full of terrible dangers ! When do you sail again for Australia `.' "In about two weeks—possibly in ten days, as the ship's filling up rap idly." "Hawley is thoroughly competent to he your first male Pedder looked wonderingly at his slSter a moment,and then answered: "Ofeourse. I know ofno better man for that post." "He must be your first mate then. Yon have influence enough with your owners, I hope, to turn out the present incumbent ?" "Why, the post is already vacant. Mr. Jarding—you have seen him— Mr."Jarding has lust been railed home suddenly to Ohio, on account of his father's illness—" "Good! That's fortunate. You must recommend Hawley for the vacant place to your owners. and get them to engage him. The thing can be done?" "Without the least doubt. It was understood. you know, as I just now remarked, that I was to help —Haw ley at the first opportunity. We'll suppose that he sails with me as first mate the next voyage. What then?" "You must leave him—not dead. hut a prisoner—on some desert island between here and Australia!" Pedder looked his astonishment. "If it can't be done," he said, af- ter a pause, "what next?" "You must come hack and report that he is dead, furnishing full de tails end good proofs. Those details and proofs will not he hard to manu facture. Then you must be all kind ness and sympathy to the young widow, as she will suppose herself to be, and in less than a year thereafter she will be your wife." possible!" "Oh, if this thing were ARGU S. sighed Pechter, beginning toi look n pos,dive It's as ample as kiss ing. And the moment you are mar ried to Clara. I will take a trip to Australia for my health, and natur ally enough, stumble upon the very island where you have left Hawley; effect his rescue; tell him his wife is dead; condole and sympathize with him like an angel; and conclude the whole comedy by hen:lining his wife and settling in Australia. You'll thus have your Clara, on this side of the ocean, and I shall be happy with Hawley on the other. She was smiling now, with every sign of anticipated triumph. As to Pedder he twisted nervously In his chair, scarcely venturing to breathe. "There's just one difficulty,"' he muttered —"that of getting Hawley on the desert island without his sus pecting anything." "It can be done," and the lips of Mks Pedd l er came together like the jaws of a vice. "There's no dilticuly about finding a suitable island?" "Not the least. I saw the Island In my mind's eye the moment you uttered the word, and a glorious one it is for our purpose." "It will be easy for you to get Haw ley upon it," suggested Miss Pedder thoughtfully. "H" it's near your route, you can mill there for water. If it's out of your way, you can be blown there by adverse winds, or be drifted there by unknown currents, or fetch up there by a mistake in your reckoning or a fault in your chronometer. And once there, you can have Hawley seized by, sonic trusty agent, while he is ashore upon business, or you can send him ashore under some pretence, such as look ing for a deserter from the ship or for a !shipwrecked sailor, and then sail away without him—" "Say no more," interrupted Ped der, with wild exultation. "I see how to manage the affair from its beginning to its end." "And you row gee that we can un do that hateful marriage?" "Perfectly—perfectly. -The affair will require a little time andpatience of course, and a little expenditure of money, but we are sure to triumph. Capital ! Glorious! What a load you have taken from my soul, Ruth: What a genius you are!" He leaped to his feet and began pacing to and fro rapidly, with the most extravagant signs and excla mations of joy. "First to get Hawley on his island," resumed Miss Peclder musingly.— "Next for you to marry the pretend ed widow. Then fob me to rescue the prisoner and marry him. And 'finally for you and me to be happy, you In your way, and I in mine—you with Clara in New York, and I with Will in Australia. You comprehend the whole project clearly "From the first step to the last. There's only just one possibility of failure—" "And that one?" "A refusal on Ilawley's part to ac cept the post offered him -a refusal based upon his marriage." Miss Pedder turned pale at the thought. "But he won't refuse," she sown declared, recovering her equanimity. "He has long been wanting justsuch a place. Married or single. he can't neglect his bread and butter." - '• Well said, Ruth. I think we can count upon him. The post he came here to ask the for is now vacant, and I will accordingly have it offered to himjust as if nothing had happened." '•Exactly. You needn't speak of his marriage, or seen) to know any thing about it. You eau simply offer him the post in question, iu accord - ith thc, nl4' nn nttui+rtiiiv: And he will accept it. lie can't pos sibly have any suspicion of anything wrong. Outwardly and apparently we are all on good terms with one another, and will remain so. Let the wages offered hint be liberal. Possibly he may object to leaving his young bride so soon, but the next voyage after this one—" Pedder interrupted Hie remark by a gesture of impatience. lie was all eagerness now—all determination. That next voyage after this one will not answer," he declared. "Hawley shall accompany inc or. my very next trip. To make all sure on this point, I will have him engaged this very day. In fact, I will see to this now." He seized his hat and gloves, ad dressed a few words to his sister, and quietly took his departure down town. The last glances the couple exchanged at the door were full of jubilant wickedness. The next three or four hour' pa ss ed slowly to Miss Pedder. She was beginning to fear that the whole project had miscarried at its very coinmencement,and was fretting her self into u fever, when redder sud denly made his appearance. One glance at his vivid flushes, at his dancing eyes, at his airy manner, was sufficient. 'IWe triumph then?" she cried, throwing herself into his arms for the first time in years. "Completely ! I saw my owners on the subject. and they sent for Hawley. lie at first offered some objedions, as was natural, but the high wages, the great step upward, the kindly interest we all manifested, soon brought him to a grateful aC cept a n ee ?" "Splendid !" murmured Miss Ped der, with a rippling laugh. "I knew the thing was feasible. And so in two weeks more our fond bridegroom will be plowing the sea again —" "In !two weeks more, liuth ? We shall be elfin six or right days. The cargo is fairly tumbling aboard the rhiblers, to say nothing of a fair list of passengers. The honey moon of our loving doves will be abridged to six short days more, you may Ise certain." CIIAI'TEIt 11. A GREAT sTEr TAKEN. In the midst of the Antartie ocean, a little off the route front New York to Australian here lies a large Island named Kergyelen's Land or--as Capt. Cook called4t - the Island of Desola tion. It was discovered just a hundred years ago, 11772,1 by the French navy officer whose name it bears. It was uninhabited then and is to day as de serted as ever. The smallest school-boy among our readers can find it upon his map of the world, about midway between the south end of Africa and Austral ia, well up towards the south Pole. It is a hundred miles in length by , fifty in breadth, and is consequently three or four times as large as Rhode Island. Its coasts areso wild and danger ous that Its discoverer, during the two expeditions that he made to it, did not once bring his ships to anchor In any of its bays and harbors. Its shape is very irregular, hut 'something like that of an hour-glassi: it being nearly cut in two by a coup of large bays; but these two divisions are unequal in size,the northern pen insula being much larger than the southern. Its coast line is wildly broken and long andn arrow,aa s p are correspondingly sharp an s jagged, its innumedrahele rgoumlfosnltleoritiesig len der, reaching out into-the ocean like fingers- The body of the island indeed re- RPM bles that of some hugeovinster of the antediluvian world, even as its capes and headlands, resemble such a monster's unsightly liras; and claws. Established 1818. A more terrible solitude than this isle of Desolation does not exist up on our wrecked planet. Neithher the snows of Himalaya nor the sands of Sahara can outvie its terrors. No inhabitant is there, riot even a savage—no house, no tree, no shrub, no fend nor road, no field nor gard en, no_ horse, no dcyg—not even a snake or a wolf. Lone, blasted and barren, it looks like the skeleton of a land that has perished. It may indeed be that desolation is the relic—the surviving fragment continent that went down here countless ages ago, with hosts of in habitants, In some vast - convulsion of nature. It has certainly undergone dread ful visitations; been rent by earth quakes, pulverized by frosts, lashed and wasted by fierce tempests. Its mountains are only of moder ate height, but are capped eternally with snow. Its vegetation is limited to a few dwarfish plants, including some mosses, a species of lichen, a coarse grass, a plant resembling a small cabbage, and a sort of cress. Its winds are raw and piercing, its summers cold and frosty, its winters those of the Polar Circles. The interior of the Island is occu pied by Imthense boggy swamps, where the ground sinks at every step. The rains in Desolation are almost incecsant, in their season, and the island is accordingly veined with numerous torrents of fresh water, some of which have worn out of the solid rock tremendous cavities and gullies. The only season than that of the rains is one of almost constant snow. The fogs of that ghastly region are well worthy of the rains, being of a cloud-like density, and hovering al most continually over the whole face of the The sun of Desolation is LiOuallY hidden by a canopy of lead colored clOutts, and appears on the rare reca sions when it is visible, stlircely brignter than :he moon in other lat itudes. As to the moon itself, and the stars, the clouds and fogs rarely permit them to betray their exis tence. No •j+h worthy of note, not even fishes of prey, abound in the adjacent waters, by reason, perhans of their containing poisonous minerals, or deadly exhalations from the volcanic tires beneath them. Yet-- the dark grim sea inelosing Desolation has done something to repair the sterility of the island. Penguins, ducks, gulls. cormorants and other marine birds are plentiful In some of its harbors. Seals also abound. Strange and terrible land ! Not a single human being, o far as is known, has ever lived there, save as is now to be recorded in these pages. Near the evening of a dull, dismal afternoon, some eleven weeks later than the date of the preceding events, the good ship Flying Childers drew near to the island of Desolation,shap ing her course towards its northern most bay ,cal led by ('apt. Cook C h rist mas Harbor. A fair breeze was blowing from the north and the ship was carrying ev ery stitch of her canvas, including studding-sails. Her crew—both watches--were busy about the deck, and her passen gers—a score in nu in ber—had gather ed in groups, mostly forward, and were gazing with great interest upon the wild, rugged shores before them, so far as the fug suspendo.l up on those shores permitted then► to become isible. The ship han eon. nearly all her water casks hay Lug been stove or started during a squall ten days previously,and every soul aboard of her having been since that date upon short allowance. Upon the quarter-deck stood Capt. Luke Pedder,looking unusually hap py, wits Hawley beside him. "I mean to get our water aboard before dark, Captain Peddef, and so avoid losing a night here," said the young executive, totally unconscious of the plot to leave him alone on the desolate island, and of the extraordi nary adventures before him. The strange events that happened there, and indeed the whole of this thrilling story, will be found only in the New York - Ledger which is now ready and for sale at all the book-stores and news-depots. Ask for the number dated July 13, and in it you will get the continuation of the story from the place where it leave off here. A PLEASANT SURPRISE. `lt's no joking matter, Mr. .\ Ilaire,' said Joinima Pendexter. course it isn't, Jemi ma,' said Mr. Allaire, rather more soberly than he had spoken before. 'taut if you come to that, isn't it a deal jollier, and just as cheap to laugh us to cry?' Miss Jemima Pendex ter was a WI, blooming brunette, with dark brown eyes, hair satin Wiwi:, and a good healthy bloom on either cheek, and her green gingham dress fitted her as perfts•tly as if a Broadway niodizte had cut and made it. Ferdinand Allaire wasa handsome young fellow of some five or six and twenty, whose dark, sparkling eyes sent out roguish gleams from beneath a pair of arched brows, and teeth were as white as a fresh-cut slice of cocoa nut. 'But mother wants the money,' persisted Miss Ivendexter. 'Not half so hail as I (10, Jen] irna.' 'lt's too bad.' pouted Jemima. 'So it is. But really, Jemima, don't you suptxxse I would pay her in a minute, if I had the money. If.

'And I've written at least seven earnestly entreating letters to my hard hearted old uncle, and of the seven answers that ought to have mine back, the first one hasn't made its appearance.

'But I have really. SuppOse you take me in part payment of my bill to Mrs. Pendexter. believe I have the elements of a first rate husband about me.' Miss Jemima turned resolutely a way. 'Mr. Allaire, I believe you'd joke if you were upon your dying bed.' And she went down stairs. 'A man might do worse than mar ry Jemimn Pendex ter,' said Mr. Al laire, meditatively. 'She's pretty, and she's spirited, and as for her mother keeping a boarding house, that's no particular objection in my eyes.

And then Mrs. Pendexter. seeing no reason why she should not realize a portion at least of the back board for the third story hall bed-room Ir. this practical manner, sent Jack, the errand boy, down after the ax and saw.and Ferdinand Allaire set brisk ly to work, whistling Bunks and Braes most energetically as he toll 7 ed.

'Let her go,' salt Mr. Allaire to himself; what do I care?' But an elegant Barouche rolled by, and a stick of viciously minded wood spun from the rending stroke of the ax directly into the velvet-cushioned seat, opposite a tall, white-haired old man, who sat there in dignified state; Our hero looked up apologetically '. .1 beg your pardon, didn't mean—' tie began politely. And then he stopped, in amaze ment. It was Mr. Laurence Allaire, the very grim old uncle who had re fused to countenam , the unreasonable nephew who presumed to prefer lit erature and the belles-letters to a seat in the banking-house of Allaire Alg,rove. 'Now I'm done for, past all re demption,' groaned Mr. Ferdinand, to himself.

I cant help IL' told Mr. Allaire had opened his keen blue eyes very wide at the un wonted sight of his aristocratic nephew splitting wood, but it had not proiluced exactly the effect upon which Ferdinand so darkly prophe sied. lie sat up as straight as ever in his carriage, gravely meditating. 'Stokes" said he to the coachman. 'Sir? said Stokes. 'Drive to Mr. Pennawinks.' 'Yes, sir,' statitok es. 'Didn't knothe boy had so much pluck in him,' said Mr. Laurence Allaire to himself stroking his frost moustache. -"l'he only relative I've got in the world, after all; no use in making an obstinate old stage uncle. of myself. Pennawinks!' 'Yes sir,' said the lawyer, from his leather-covered chair as Mr. Allaire walked into a stuffy little office smelling of law books and stale cigar smoke. 'I want my will restored to its original form, I'eunawinks.' Mr. Pennawitits elevated his shaggy gray brows, but made no other sign, of amazement. Nil ad m rar was his motto in legal matters. 'Very well,sir. I'll bring it around to-morrow,' he answered. 'No you'll not. You'll do it now, while lam wilting. Now is the ac cepted time, for old men like you' and me PennawinkS." 'Exactly so,' said 31r. Pennawinks. 'So Mr. Ferdinand has reformed?' 'Well, no, I ain't say that exact ly,' said the old hanker stiffly. 'But there's more genuine stuff in the lad than I had any idea of. I shall in vit' him to dinner this afternoon.' But Mr. Allaire had issued his last dinner invitation. 'Apoplexy,' said one doctor. I lea r t disease,' said a second. 'Paralysis—clearly pardySis—as serted a third.' Such were some of the comments when a few hours later Mr. Allaire was found dead in his chair. Ilk funeral Was well attended, and among the mourners was Ferdinand, who said, 'I will pay this respect to the memory of my uncle, although he has disinherited me. It wi!l show that I still lov-nd honor him.' When the funeral was over, and the will was read, probably none were more astonishedat the contents than was the nephew, who expected nothing; for a codicil added only a few hours before death had called the old man away, read as follows: "The clause in this will which re vokes a legacy of $2.00,000 to my nephew, Ferdinand Allaire, is here ' by declared void, and it is my wish that he not only have the amount mentioned above, but I also bequeath to him in addition, the real estate now occupied by me as a residence. I make the change because I saw that he had the spirit to help him self, by manual labor. Ferdinand returned to his board ing house that evening with a con ciousness of soon being able to pay Mrs. I'endexter her honest debt, and also feeling that it was just possible that having offered to give himself in pay to Miss Jemima when he was worth nothing, that he ought to re new the otter, now the circunistan ces were changed. , I do not know whether this was what influenced him or mot, but it is a fact that he did renew , the offer, and this time Miss Jemima thought best to accept it, much to the dis gust of Miss Adela Maurice, who would have been glad to , preside over the house once occupied by the rich old banker.
