THE TYRANNICAL FATHER. ‘ Jennie,’said Mr. Stacey, onoevening, to liia daughter, ‘ Edward Wright culled nt my store to-day. I suppose you know what for?’ ‘How should I know what for papa?' returned Jennie, with a look of unconsci ousness that was belied by the vivid crim son that rose from tho cheeks to the tem ples. ‘ I suppose it was to see about an order for some goods or something.’ 4 Not exactly,’ replied her father, smi ling. * lie cuim* to see me about you ; in short to ask my permission to address you.’ Jennio reddened again ; butthe sudden (lash that gleamed out from beneath the brown lashes spoke more of scorn than satisfaction. ‘ Of course I gave my consent,’ contin ued Mr. Stacey, uftcr waiting his daughter to reply. ‘lf you hadn’t I suppose that would have been the last of it, so fur us he was concerned,' retorted Jennie, with a sar castic touch that was quite lost upon her matter-of-fact father. ‘ Well, my dear, I don’t know as there is any need of raising that question. I could have no reasonable objection to a well-principled, intelligent young man . Jike Mr. Wright, and who is, witha.l, do ing an-cxeellent business. So it remains for you to say whether you will be Mrs. Edward Wright.’ Jennie pursed up her rosy lips with an air of great dignity. • I haven't been asked yet. ‘No. I suppose not. Bat I shouldn’t wonder if he was here to-night for that express purpose.’ Then, as a glimmer of the truth enter ed his mind, Mr. Stacey added ; ‘ I trust that you are not so foolish, my daughter, as to take offense because he spoke to me about it first. In so dping ho acted honorably, and so every man should, and it ought to raise, rather than lower him in your esteem. Indeed, I fancied from what ho said, that he was quite sure of tho nature of your feelings for him, else he had not spoken to me.’ Jennie’s indignation now reached its climax. She elevated her naturally rath er aspiring nose, until it -stood at right angles. ‘Quite sure, was he? I don’t know why ho should be, then, I never gave him any reason to feel so confident.’ Mr. Stacey looked rather gravely at hla daughter. ... . . »i don’t know what you’ve said tohini, but I know that he’s been here a good deal, and you’ve always seemed glad to see him. I hope you havn’t been trifling with tho young man. Jennie. Am Ito understand that you don’t Intend to mar ry him?’ , . Jennie’s round and rosy face assumed as lofty an expression as features could be expected to wear, not formed exactly from the heroic mold. • ‘ Mr. Wright is an excellent young man, papa. I’ve nothing to say against him. But 1 would sooner perish than unite my fate with one whose feelings are so antagonistic to the holiest sympa thies of my nature.’ The concluding sentence was a quota tion from her favorite novel, ‘ Astrea; or Tho Stony-hearted Father,’ and was pro nounced with no little vehemence of look and tone. , ~ , , . . r Mr Stacey stared at his daughter for a moment without speaking. ‘ I really do not see, my dear,’ ho said, dryly, ‘ any necessity for so much dis play of energy; if you don’t like. Mr. Wright well enough to marry him, a 1 that you have got to do is to tell me so. Hero was a * come down’ to Jennie s soaring imagination. Her father absolu tely refused lo play the role of the Stony hearthed Father, ruthlessly destroying the -secret hope that had risen in her heart that some romantic incident, for which she had so often longed, was aboufc to break tho sameness of her dull and nrosv life. And, to increase her dissatisfaction, Edward Wright, whom she really liked, and whom she had invested with many of ibo virtues ami graces that adorned her favorite heroes, instead of throwing himself ut her feet and decmriDff that no power on earth should take her from him, had actually condescended to the com mon sense and conventional method of asking her father’s permission before sneaking to her! Nothing more was necessary to prove to her that ho was not, to use her own language, ‘ tho chosen ar biter of her destiny.’' A , 4 , , , After lea Jennie slipped outof the back wav and ran over to a neighbor’s, for the two-fold purpose of- avoiding what she was pleased to term the pe r , s T^ c l l 4°. nB °J tho aforaaid Mr. Edward Wright, and pour her troubles —or rather her want of any-into tho sympathizing bosom of her dear friend, Arabella Eugeulo Ange lina Stubbs. t . , ~ . Jennie being firmly convinced that * the course of true love never did run smooth,’ and as in tho event of her be- CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1868. coming Mrs. Edward Wright there would be nothing left for her to do but to order her wedding finery, and go through with .the reqiaito ceremony, she either avoided the poor follow altogether, or treated him with such an air of lofty indifference as to pat him to his wits’ end to discover Che cause of this singular change in her conduct. ‘ Jennie,’ said Mr. Stacey, a few weeks after, ‘ who was that young man that you were talking with at thegato.this morn ing?’ ‘Edward Wright, papa,’ replied Jen nie, not a little astonished at this abrupt inquiry, as well as the scowl that accom panied it. 1 Well, never let me see you with him again I’ Jennie opened her eyes still wider. * Why not? I thought Edward was a great favorite of yours ?’ ‘So he was till I found him out. I did thinkagreatdealof the young man : but after what has happened, ho shall never darken my door again !’ ‘ Dear mo! what in the world has ho done?’ ‘ Done ? what ought to send him to tho penitentiary —whatwould send him there If I had tho law hi my bands?’ The sudden pallor that swept over Jen nie's face would have betrayed to tho most indifferent eye tho true state of her a flections. ‘ Do you mean that lie has been steal ing, papa?’ ‘Stealing, he has done worse than that P ‘ Good heavens!’ faltered poor Jennie, ‘ has he been killing anybody ?’ ‘ Worse than that. A man that will sell his country is worse than a murder er ! and any one that will vote for that lying, double-faced traitor, Higgins, is a worse scoundrel than he!’ ‘•ls that all? said Jennie, drawing a long sigh of relief. 'I thought it was something dreadful.’ 1 All ?’ echoed her father. ‘ I should say that it was enough—quite enough to sink him in the estimation of every hon est man. Once more, I say, don’t let me see you with him again!' Here Mr. Stacy stamped out of tho room banging the door after him. 1 Good gracious!’ exclaimed Jennie, as she picked up the contents of her work basket, that her fatherhaci knocked over in his furious exit. ‘ I should like to know what’s got into pa, all at once. To think of his forbidding me to speak to Edward just for that!’ And with flushed cheeks and a flutter of delight at her heart, at the thought of having ‘ something to tell,’ and that something ‘ so strange and mysterious,’ she sought tho presence of her usual con fidant, the fair Arabella Eugenio Ange lina Stubbs, to whom it was duly un folded with sundry embellishments, the fruits of her fertile imagination, and who quite agreed with her in thinking it to bo ‘ the strangest thing that over came to her knowledge.’ ‘ Jennie,’ said Mr. Stacey, the next day after dinner, as taking his hat he turned to leave tho house,‘young Wright had the impudence to speak to me again about you ;*and, intimates that'ho did so by your permission, you may as well know, once for all, that it can never be! I would sooner see you in your grave than the wife of such a man ! I’ve got a husband picked out for you. Deacon Obidiah IMttigrew is a man that will do you uutf the family credit.’ ‘Deacon Pettigrew? Why, pa, lie’s more than twice my ago!’ * That’s the very reason why I have se lected him; you need some one to keep you steady. He will bo here to-morrow evening, and I shall expect you to re ceive him with the respect and consid eration due to your future husband.’ Before his daughter had time to recov er from the astonishment into which this announcement threw her, Mr. Stacey was some ways down the street. * Well I know two things,’ exclaimed Jenuio, putting down her foot with a de termined air; ‘I won't have that stupid Deacon Pittigrew, and I will have—Ed ward Wright!’ As she said this, she look from her bos om aletterfrom the lastnumedindividu ul, full of protestations of undying love, and imploringher tomeefc him at 6 o’clock that evening, re-reading it for the forti eth time with flushed cheeks and kind ling eyes. That evening, as Jennie went to the appointed place, which she did not fail to do, she found Edward waiting for her,. Instead of wearing his usual cheerful look and pleasant smile, he stood leaning against a tree, with arms folded across his chest, and a gloomy cloud upon his brow, ‘ looking,’ as Jennie confidential ly informed the sympathizing Arbella Eugenie Angelina Stubbs ‘for all the world like the picture of Rupert Dl Rl naldo, in‘The Brigand of the Black Forest.’ Edward found little difficulty in per suading her to leave home, and unite her fate with his. Accordingly, the next night, as soon as the house was atlll, Jennie, enveloped In a dark mantle, and face concealed by a thick closely drawn veil, stole out through the back way to the place whqre her lover was waiting. Ho had a covered carriage, and, though the night was dark*, she could see the dim outline of a man upon the box. They rode two hours, mostly in silence; for, now that the irrevocable step was taken, Jennie’s courage began to fail her, and she grew. depressed in spirits—she hardly know why. It seemed to her that they would never reach their desti nation, which Edward had informed her was the house of a clergyman in an ad joining town. But at 9 last, to her great relief, the carriage stopped. ‘ To avoid observation, we arc going in through the back way,’ whispered Ed ward 4 as he assisted hertoallght. ‘Draw your veil closely around your face.’ The night was so dark that she could not see the least thing, and she clung nervously to the hand that led her along a short path, oyer a plat of grass, up some steps, in to a dark, narrowpassage, which led into a ball, and from thence into a room that opened out of it, lighted by one small, low lamp. Beside the table on which it was placed the clergyman stood—a venerable looking man—and at the lower end of the apartment seemed to be a number of persons, though the light was so dim that only the outlines of their forms were visible. Edward spoke a few whispered words to the clergyman, and then the ceremo ny commenced. As soon as the lost words were spoken, as if by a preconcerted movement, the two burners at each end of the room were lighted, filling it with a sudden blaze of light,whilea merry peal of laughter made it ring again and again. - ‘ As soon as Jennie’s dazzled eyes would permit her to see, she found to her as tonishment, that she was back in the house that she supposed she had quitted forever, and surrounded by her lather, and quite a largo groupe friends and relatives. , ‘MV daughter,’ said Mr. Btacey, ad vancing toward her, 4 1 trust that I have played the role of the ‘ tyrannical father’ to your' entire satisfaction, and that you will now permit me to offer you my con gratulations upon a marriage that has long been the first wish of my heart. * I hope you enjoyed your ride said her roguish brother who, in the ca pacity of coachman, hod driven her all about the outskirts of the town, and fi nally back to the place from where they started. ‘How could you deceive me so?’said Jennie, turnlngher eyes reproachfully up on her husband, as her mind slowly took in the ruse that had been played upon dearest love,’ he said, with a look that quite disarmed her, 4 it was the on ly way by which I could hope to win you. sgy»A young woman’s temperance so ciety baa been formed In Ohautuqu© go., Now York, They pledge themselves to ropell tho advances of any young man who uses Intoxicating drinks. THE STBATAQEDI, A PARISIAN STORY Jerome Loblnno was a physician of good standing in Paris. He was a man of thirty, with every advantage of good looks, education, nod fascinating man ners, and high principles to make him popularin all classes of society. He lack ed but two things—wealth and title—to make him a desirable match for the daughters of the many husband-seeking mammas by whom ho was surrounded. But lacking these two qualifications, he was, of course, out of the question, and they turned away from him with a sigh to seek elsewhere an other more suitable but less worthy, probably. M. Leblanc was neither noble nor rich, but his ances tors were all respectable, educated, refin ed people, and bis father had left him an honorable and distinguished name, and fine established practice, so that with in dustry and perseverance it would not take him long to make a fortune. Now, with ail those disadvantages of birth and circumstances, M. Leblanc was perverse enough to fall desperately In love with tho daughter of one of the no blest, proudest, and most aristocratic no blemen, in Paris. What was more, she , was in love with him. She was, of course very dllfcrnet from tho girls of her clique, for she had a heart, or she could never have loved M. Leblanc as she did, despite all his disadvantages. But, of course like all true lovo, theirs did not run smooth. M. Leblanc was alone In the world, and consequently free to choose ami act for hlmsel/, but Mile. deßois had a fam ily to consult, and it is needless to say that family opposed their love. After endless trying discussions, angry argu ments, and many tears, the lovers, over powered by numbers, separated, with mutual vows of eternal constancy and undying faith, and, with tho promise to remain firm in their plighted love, truss ing to tho future to bring them an oppor tunity, which they would not hestato to seize, no mutter when that might be, to bo re-united. M. Leblanc was, of course, denied admission to M. de Bois’ house, but, iiko an earnest lover, ho managed to see Adele, though ho might not speak to her. And shesaw him each time, but without an outward sign of his presence, except tho expression in her eyes, intend ed alone for him and which he aJono un derstood. M. do Bois was very proud of her daughter, and had determined that she should make a brilliant match, and she was therefore tho 'most strenuously op posed of all to M. Leblanc’s suit, and it was aho who used her influence over her husband to effect the banishment of M. Xjeblauc from their house. Many suitors, rich, titled and proud, surrounded Adele do Bois, but now, since her separation from Jerome, sho was pointedly cold and repelling, where be fore sho had only been carelessly indif ferent. ‘Though they separate mo from you, Jerome,’ she had said through her tears, ‘ they shall not make me marry anyone else, Ido not care far fortune and po«i tion ; I want love, happiness, and you. 1 1 The best thing for us to do then, dear est, is to appear to bo resigned to our sep aration, until the opportunity comes for our re-uninn. If you only have thecour age and strength to wait, all will yet be as wo desiro it,’ were Jerome’s last words to her as they parted, aud in her woman’s heart lovo created a power of patience and endurance which not a world could shake. Secure of Adele’s constancy, and the better to mislead her parents, M. Le blanc arranged between them that Je rome should leave Purls, as if he had positively relinquished all claim to Adole forever. Nearly two years passed, during which time Adele’ had seen or heard nothing, except indirectly, of Jerome. But never fora moment was her faith in him sha ken, or her love for him lessened, nor was his confidence in her less secure, though he had not even heard her mime mentioned since they had parted. Even bud he felt inclined to doubt Adele, he could not have done so had' ho known all she had endured and resisted for him.— Since their parting her life hud been passed In a constant struggle with her Earouts, who never ceased tormenting cr to marry, first this one aud then that one, and she was still pursued by suitors who seemed to possess neither conscience nor pride. Her life, as a necessary consequence in her position was a gay one, her days and overlings being entirely taken up with amusements. One evening she went to a grand party given by one of her grand friends. Tho rooms were full, and the scene was one of great brilliance and gay ety, but Adele walked through mechani cally, as if such scenes were uncongenial to her, and with an expression of mental weariness, unbecoming so young a face. The evening was half over, when just us Adele was leaving the piano amid the applause of all, among many eager faces her eyes fell upon Jerome’s, She stag gered and stood bewildered for an instant, and then suddenly fell senseless to the floor. In an instant Jerome was by her side. Lifting her in his arms he carried her out of the crowded saloons into one of the dressing-rooms, laid her on a sofa, and then knelt down by her side, watch ing ibe still, pale face. Soon the eyes opened slowly, when Jerome quickly bending down, whispered something in her ear, when tho eyes closed, and it was impossible to rouse her again, In their alarm M. and Mme, de Bois forgot their re sentment against M. Leblanc. All other feelings were absorbed in anxiety for her and gratitude toward him. The party broke up in confusion, and amid the regret of all, Mile, do Bois was taken away, as many thought, dying.— Mm. de Bois so far forgot all former ill feelings, as to implore M. Leblanc to ac company them home to 'ascertain the nature of Adele’a sudden and mysterious illness. When they had reached M. do Bois’ house, poor Adelo was instantly put to bed, and during the process re mained in the same trance-like insensi bility. After shaking his head doubt fully like a true doctor, and looking verv serious, M. Leblanc said that all that could be done at present was to leave Mile, de Boia to perfect rest and quiet, and withdrew. The first thing, the next day, ho received a message to come at once to M. de Boia, as Mile. Adelo was worse, as he had anticipated. Of course he came as soon ss be could, and found Adole talking in the wildest manner. The illness which followed was of so strange and incomprehensible a charac ter that, forgerting all elseln his anxiety, M. de Bois requested M. Leblanc to re main in the house, and await the result of her illness. Jerome Leblanc unable to endure sepa ration from Adelo any longer, had re turned to France, determined to win her by some means. If lie found M. and Mine, de Bois still obdurate, ho would marry Adelo by stratagem. It did not take him long to discover that M. and Mme. do Bois still desired, and hoped that Adele would marry one of the many aspirants for her hand, who still persued her in spite of scorn and cold indifference. This decided his course, for ho felt con vinced that Adelo loved him still. Her sudden fainting fit gave him the founda tion of his stratagem. Her illuess continued, and Jerome had the happiness of watching her through it. it was an Illness which defied the knowl edge and Intelligence of all, seeming de lirium without oven the faintest sign of fever. Yet she seemed always wander ing, and at lost she began to talk of Je rome, calling him by every endearing name, uml lament his absence. lor the first time, M. and Mme. de Bois realized their position with regard to M. Leblanc, but they sacrificed all feelings to-tho do .lre for the safety of their daughter. M. Leblanc seemed very much affected by Adele's ' unconscious words, but would give them uo hope of hor recovery. One day, with a sorrowful! face, M. Lo. bane announced that calmness and con* Hoousnesa had again returned to Adelo; but it was only because her last moments were near. Adelo was a strict Catholic, and she begged that her confessor might bo scat for. When ho came, Jerome said it was necessary for him to bo present during the interview, though unseen by Adele, that ho might discover what was on her mind, as he feared there was something. Meanwhile, M. and Mmc. de Bois wore to wait in the adjoining room. I Jerome had a long talk with tho priest I before they went into Adclo’s room. In half an hour, M. ami Mine, do Bois were requested to cometo Adele. With heavy hearts and streaming. eyes they complied to witness their child's last mo ments. audhoar her last words.* With a'mother’s impulse, Mine, de Bois ran sobbing to Adele’s bed. To her surprise Adelo was sitting up smiling, and radiant with health. Staggered for a momcn t by the sudden ness of tho change, Mine, de Hols stood irresolute, and then turning to M. Le blance with her eyes swimming from the fulness of gratitude in her heart, she said earnestly : ’And have you done this? God bless you, M. Leblanc.’ * No,' said Adelo, holding out her arms to her mother ; ‘lt was all a falsehood : I havo not been ill at all. Oh, mamma, forgive mo!’ but Uor mother turned weep ing away. . * if this is true, what you say, then, M. Leblance, has had a share In it, though I cannot understand how or why?’ ex claimed M. do Bois in a rage. ‘Sir,’ he continued turning furiously upon Leblanc, ‘ leave my house instant ly, ami never again shall you see my daughter.’ • The priest quietly clasped Adelo’e and Jerome’s hands together, and said sol emnly ; 4 Those whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.’ In an instant M. deßoia sa>v tho whole truth. It had evidently been arranged between Jorome and the confessor that he was to come and marry them quietly thus, since there was no other waj*. M. do Bois' rago knew no bounds. He would listen to nothing, but angrily bado Je rome take his wife and go out of his sight forever. Mme. do Bois was iu this case as in all others, but the echo of her husband. So Adole was exiled from home, but sho left it, -father and mother, to follow’ her hus band, who was to be all to her. M. and Mme. de Bois were relentless for a long titav, but When they saw M. Leblanc gaining position and wealth, they yielded, and with mutual forgive ness came mutual happiness. DVJfGCON BOCK. A gentleman who recently visited Dungeon Rock, which is about two miles from Lyun, Maas., gives an interesting account of it and its owner. It is situa ted ip.a picturesque locality, and Is a Very cool ana pleasant resting place after a drive from Lynn. There seems origi nally to have been a cave reaching into tiic side of the hid, tho mouth of which Ims been entirely stopped by tho fall of a rock of such immense size that it is impossible •to remove it. It is an old tradition that tho cave was formerly the abode of piraets, and they are supposed to have left in it great treasures of jewels and precious stones. For sixteen years, Mr. Hiram Marble, under spiritual direction obtained (trough mediums, as he professes, has been at work about the rock in an at tempt to discover these treasurers. He has already made an excavation of one hundred and sixty-llve feet, beginning a short distance from the rock, and a part of it passing through solid limestone,— He expects that some day, when a blast is flreu, the dungeon will be reached and opened, and its marvellous wealth lie easy to his hand. The spirits, he says, have assured him'of his final success, and tho direction of his excavation has been decided by tbeir Instructions. The whole history of the Dungeon Rock, and, of the treasures buried there, has been revealed to him by a spirit nam ed Enessee, and he has written out in a pamphlet. It is rather misty, and tells of the pirates that hid thoir treasures there—of Arabel, whom the leader mar ried in Italy aud brought to the cave, and who died there, and of Catharine, the wife of another bandit, who also died there, and was laid upon one of the shelv ing rocks inside the cave. The string of pearls and tho ring she wore, will be found there, according to the spirits, and the ancient treasures will bo gathered up —flashing diamonds, clear seed pearls, with heavy gold settings, and antique jewelry'and ornaments. The heavy Iron bound box left there, has been broken by the action of the earth, and its contents are now duly mixed with dirt and rub bish, which tho water from a spring has been laving for two hundred years . Tim .bones of one of the bandits will be found \vhere-ho was killed by the full of the rock as ho was guarding tho wealth with in the outer compartment of tho cave. Dreams, mesmerism and spiritualism, have affirmed tho existence of the treas ure, and Mr. Marble is sincere in his search. Otherwise he is ratioual and well informed. Ho has a house near the place, which la taken care of by his daughter, while he is assisted in tho ex cavation by bis son, who is thirty-five years of age. To obtain a subsistence without discontinuing his great work, he sells small beer and copies of his pamph let to visitors, and pilots them to the bot tom of the shaft for fifteen cents. Tho excavating is mostly done in tho winter, and he has lately somewhat slacked his energy, as he says the spirits tell him that he is digging quite fast enough. Romeo and the Countuyma,n.—An acquaintance relates the following comi cal scene which he witnessed one night out West at a village theatre : The piece had passed oil* without inter ruption, until the last scene. The char acter of Borneo was excellently enacted and loudly applauded. The very model of the lover was before the tomb of the Cupulets, gazing upon the motionless form of her who had so attracted hiasoul, and meditating upon committing an act which would send his spirit to that un discovered country wnere he supposed Juliet had gone. Just as hd exclaimed, “ Here’s to my level” ami at the same time raised the vial which contained the poison, to his lips, a stalwart young countryman jumped upon the stage, seiz ed him, dashed the vial from his hand, crushing it into atoms, ami yelling: “ You darned fool I she ain’t dead! Only been takiu 1 a little sleepln’medi cine. Didn’t you get the parson’s let ter?” ' “Sirrah!” growled out the enraged tragedian, while, the house fairly shook with laughter. ... . . , “ Why, yer gal ain't deml, I tell yer.— The wav it was, they wanted to make Julia many that chap thur," pointing to Paris “ whose business you have just settled, hut I tell you Julia war spunk she got her back up, and vowed she wouldn't do it, even if, while she war lying in the vault, the ghost of the other feller whom you kilt should dash her brains out with the bones of some of tier dead cousins. Wal. her spu.uk war up, and she took the stuff the parson lixsd, so she could play the possum till you got hum. That’s the way It war,” replied the countryman, giving the desperate lover a tremendous poke in tho ribs with Ills elbow, and at the same time losing on the fellow!” muttered the raving tragedian, as ho stalked behind the scones. “Wal, now,” suid the countryman, fronting the audience, “ if that aln t a lit tle the dod-dmudest meanest cubs I ever did see, I hope to be a wowed. That’s all the thanks I get for stopping him from nizeniug himself.

VOL. 54-NO. 35. LORI) NEI«SON*R PROTCOK. It was a bright morningin spring, and luo English fleet lay at anchor in Ports mouth harbor, awaiting the signal to start out on a cruiso. The flag- a huge, formidable ship of the line, with its dark sides bristling with guns was all in commotion. The admiral, the most famous sailor of his day, was com- I the shore, and the ship was ready to receive him. Already the guns of tnesquadron were beginning to thun der forth their welcome, and soon the vessel was wreathed in smoko,ami quiv ering beueath the discharges of her heavy ordnance, as Admiral Nelson touched her deck, surrounded by a brilliant staff, standing near the edge of the quarter deck, and watching the scene with in tense eagerness, was a young lad of about eighteen. Ho was dressed simply but neatly, and his cheeks glowed, and ms eyes kindled, as he watched the ex citing events that were going on around him. As he returned the salutes of tho olncers, the admiral chanced to observe the lad. - ** Who is this?” ho asked, turning to the captain of the vessel. He’s a young lad thatcamo on board a gw lunirs ago," replied tho captain.— -tie insists on seeing you, air, as he aays ho has something of importance to sav to you." J “ Well, my lad,” said tho admiral, Kindly, “ speak out freely.” "If you please, sir,’’said the hoy, “ I’vo come to ask you to take mo to sea with you.” “ Is that all you havo to say, you young scamp?»» asked the captain, sharply. Let him alone,” said the admiral, laughing. “ What position do you want?” ho asked, turning to the boy, ‘ If you would take me as your cabin boy, sir,” said the lad, “ I should bo very glad.” “ That’s a poor chance for you, if you wish to rise above it,” said the admiral, kindly. “It will be a beginning,” replied the lad. “If you’U.'give mo a start, i’ll work my way up, sir. You did it; and I mean to do it so, too. “The admiral gazed at him kindly, but searchlngly. and then said, with a smile: “I’ll take you with mo on this cruise; and if you want to rise, I’ll give you a chance. What is your name?” “ Edward Lee,” was the reply. “ Very well, then, Edward, “ I take you Into my service,” said the admiral. “ I shall expect you to prove yourself wor thy of the trust.” “ I’ll do it, sir,” said the boy, earnest ly, ns he moved aside, respectfully, to let the admiral pass. Id two hours Che Vanguard stood out to sea, followed by the squadron, to join Earl St. Vincent at Gibraltar. Tho young valet of the admiral made a decidedly fa vorable impression upon the olllcera of the ship before the completion of the voynge. “ Tis too bad,” said the admiral to his Hag-captain, one day, “that that boy should All a menhirs position.” The captain agreed with his command er, and the resultof the matter was, that, a few days after tho arrival of the Van guard at Gibraltar, Edward Lee was giv en a mld-shipmnn’s warrant by Earl St. Vincent, at the special request of Admi ral Nelson. Then came the. famous cruise in the Mediterranean, in search of Ronaparte and his fleet. In the terrific gale which dismasted the admiral’s ship, young Lee proved that ho merited the kindness his great commander had shown him, and won praise from all on board. Then came the brief halt at Syracuse, the arri val of the wished for reinforcements, and the departure for Egypt. As the dawn of tho memoriable first of August reveal ed to the eyes of the English the tri-color floating over Alexandria, and tho French fleet in the bay of Aboukir, Edward Leo was standing by his chief on tho fled; of the flag-ship. “There they are,” burst from a score of voices, as the distant vessel came in view. “Yes,” muttered the boy; bo there, too, before night.” Nelson glanced at him approvingly. “There's a chance for promotion for us all in there/ 1 he said smiling. Ho was right. The fearful encounter which carried such sorrow and de spair to so many English homes, brought to these two men fame and hon or. Through the whole action the ad miral’s eye was on the young “ middy/* and nil through that long and tin illing summer night It never lost the gleam of satisfaction which had illumined it as ho heard the 3'oung sailor’s words in the morning, tint same dispatch that greeted him as Lord Nelson informed hint that his request for a lieutenancy for young Lee was granted. Study devotion to his profession, and conspicuous bravery in times of danger, soon made the youthful lieutenant a no ted man In His Majesty’s navy. The buttle of the Baltic was a memorable day to him. It was truly ibe greatest battle he had boon in. Though severely woun ded, he refused to go below, and stood by his post until the close of the action.— When Sir Hyde Parker gave the signal for discontinuing the tight, Lieutenant Leo reported it to Lor d Nelson. The Admiral, putting the glass to his blind eye, said, with mock gravity, “ I really don’t see the signal, Keep our flag for closer battle still flying. That’s the way I answer such signals. Nail mine to the mast. It seemed that the fortunes of the great Admiral and his protege were mysteri ously united, for this victory, which made the one a,viscount, made the other u ilrst lieutenant, though he had but just comt of age. H© followed his command er, who had become warmly attached to him, through all the years that interven ed, so that, when the great day of Traf algar came, he was the second in com mand to Caplnin'Hardy. As the action began, Lord Nelson approached him, and, placing his hand on his shoulder, said, •* We are going to have a hard day, Edward. I hope you may pass through ’• I shall try to do my duty, my lord/’ said Lieutenant Lee. “ But,” he added, pointing to the uniform and decorations which the commander wore, contrary to his custom, “why does your lordship render yourself so conspicuous to-day?— Yon will surely draw upon you the Are of some marksman. “ I h'ave a presentiment,’’ eald the Ad miral, “ that ray race is run ; so I have pht on all ray harness to-day. In honor I gained them,” he exclaimed, proudly, laying his hand on the insignia, “ and in honor I will die with. The presentiment was realized. It was the last action of the great sailor.— As he fell on the deck, in the heat of the battle, the caption and the lieutenant of the ship sprang to him, in an agony of grief. “Go buck to your post, Edward,” ho said, as the lieutenant knelt by him.— Then ho added, gently, “ God bless you, Igd.” With a sad heart the young man re turned to his place. The fate which had seemed to unite ins destiny with that of his commander was fully realized on this day, for, Justus the victory was gained, a heavy discharge of grape from a French ship of tile line swept the deck of Lord Nelson's ship ; and when the smoke clear ed away, Captain Hardy saw his lieu tenant lying almost in the same spot where the conqueror of the Nile had fal len, with his breast torn open by the ter rible discharge.
