THB TEBIPEST WATCHER.
BY C. CAnROI.I. LBKD3.
[A atory In related of u young Irishman, who left
his native shore to seek his fortune in the “ land of
liberty f* m his youth he had contracted an engage*
ntcnl with a fair maiden of his native village, and
hud promised that if his golden dreams wore reolizcd
in his new liomc, lie would return mid claim her us
his bride. A foW years rolled on—Dame Fortune
had blessed his hopes with success; lie returned, and
to his great delight found thu idol of his heart true
lo.hur word, and willing to share with him his dis
taut col. They embarked to return, but when near
the hind which was to be their future dwelling, a
violent tempest arose, and the ship wus dashed to
pieces on liiu rocks, lie, by a miracle, was saved,
hut only to fed a worse torture than if he hud pur
ishud, for his bride was drowned, and the succeeding
morning ho found her mangled remains upon ti.e
sea shore where they had been washed by the waves.
This circumstance deranged Ins mind, and embit
tered his existence. II« sold his possessions, and
built him n col near the shore upon which ul).his
hopes hud been wrecked; arid his greatest delight
was to watch the ocean during violent tempests.]
