Observing his proximity the commander of the Pallas tCaptain Caltlneau), hailed the French man, and begged him to lake tile prize in charge, in order that lie. liim-elf, might tie free to assist Commodore Jones. Tills he declined to do, declaring his preier enceelo give the desired aid himself.— But tills ho proceeded to do in a way so bungling, as well as tardily, that, when he did Are at the Berapls, he did far more damage to ids consort tnan to their com mon enemy—for lie actually killed a number ol the crew of the Richard and dismounted two of the guns thereon. Vainly did the Richard's men hail the Alliance, and equa ly vainly' were sig nals show. The Frenchman continued ills Are, apnroachiug nearer and nearly ut every delivery, until lie was abwitu of the Berapin. In this contingency Com modore Jones shouted to him with an en ergy, born of natural indignation at Ins strangely preverse conduct. 10 change his position. Thereupon the Alliance hauled «>ft. But she soon returned, and ag'dn commenced firing from such a po rtion, that her shot could not possibly reach the Serapls ’except through the Richard. , . ~ Having done all the damage he could u, nia consort instead or me enemy’s ves sel, Captain Lunuals, as if contented with his shameful conduct —or, at any rate, showing no disposition to make recomp use for it —ran his ship to the lee* ward, and stood oft anil on, watching the contest as unconcernedly as it ho really had neither part nor lot In it! The Alliance hud scarcely fired her last broadside, when the cry was heaid from the R chard, that she was sinking. This proved to be true. She had been pefl orated In so many places, that the water fairly poured into her sides, and the commenced (o settle. Consternation now took possession of the appaiently helpless crew.

The gunner of the Richard had actual ly commenced the suiting hia action to the word of hia herald of Ilia expected (beeacae seemingly inevitable) surrender of tire sinking ship by rushing on deck wUli tho purpose of b.auhng down the colors. Fortunately the flagstaff had been shot away, ami tho ensign hung in the wu'er, beyond his reach. Defeated in his intention, he commenc ed to call lustily for quarter. Every thing imw hung upon a moment. But that moment’s delay the brave old com modore.’who was luckily on hand as it passed, availed himself of. He spiang instantly to the gunwae, followed by h.-vwul of his more dauntless men, and shouted: , ... The day may still be ours!

The cheers of the Americans, as they saw this, Indicated that thojhope of an ultimate victory now at hand, had revived within th-lr breasts—that is. such of them as had suffered it to die out —while those of the English became f« e l>ler and feebler and soon ceased altogeth er.

Jorymusts was erected on the Rerapls, and she was carried, along with the oth er prize (the Scarborough) to the Dutch port of Texel. The arrival of Paul Jones there was the occasion of immense ex citement, ami ho became a perfect lion. On his arrival In Franco, whence he pro ceeded from Holland, he was everywhere received In triumph. At Versailles, the popular furore reached such a hlglit that the king caught the spirit of it, and pre sented him a sword with a richly wha»ed golden scabbard, and Inscribed with the proud inscription : 44 Vindicnii Mur in Lu docicuc XVI , rumunerutor etrcnuo vindi cl.” Not eallsthd with this bestowal, permission wauohiained from the Ameri can t (ingress, to invest him with the military Order of Merit, an honor never before conferred on one who hud not heqn fighting under French authority.

For his gloilously daring action with the tierupls, lie was voted a gold medal by the American Congress —-foreigner though he was by birth—for lie was horn In tfcothmd. He sought new glory un der European flags, but died disappoint* ed. His restless and unsatNfleh spirit fi nally took its flight at the French Capi tol, on the 18th day of July, 1792, alter lie had spent a number oftfears abroad, in a wild-goose chase alter further fame—or rather its trappings, which he cared for more limn fume Itseli. He never marri ed. His first love—which was bestowed on an American lady, although he never desired to be considered her fellow-coun tryman, but “ a citizen of the world” having terminated disastrously, he died a bachelor, in pursuanceof a vow which he Is said to have taken to that end—and such a vow, taken by such a-spirhas bis. was not likely to be ever broken, for de c.sion of character was enstamped on every lineament of his face.

A friend of tho Rhine. Years ago at the grand cathedral over looking the Rhine there appeared a dis tinguished organist. The great compos er who ha<l played the organ so long had suddenly died, and everybody, from the king to the peasant, was wondering who could be found to fill his place, when one brlgh’t Sabbmh morning as the sexton entered the church, ho saw a stranger sitting by the crape-shrouded organ. He was a tall, graceful mad, with a pale, but strikingly handsome face, great, black, melancholy eyes, and hair like a raven’s wing for gloss and color, sweeping in dark waves over his shoulders. He did not seem to notice the sexton, but went ou playing, and such music as he drew from the instrument no words of mine can describe. The a*toni«hed listener declared that the organ seemed to have grown human—that it wailed and sigh ed and clamored as if a tortured human heart was nobbing through its pipes. When the music at last ceased the sex ton hastened to the stranger, and asked : “ Pray, who are you, sir?” “Do notask my name,” he replied; “ I have heard you are in want of an or ganist, and I have come here on trial.” “ You'll be sure to get the place,” ex claimed ihesexton. “ Why, you surpass him that's dead and gone.” “ No, no you overrate me,” said the stranger, wi'h a smile; then, as if disin clined to conversation, lie turned fium old Huns, and to play again, and now the music changed from a sorrowlul strain to a grand old pee in, aud the mys terious old organist— Looking upward full of grace Fiuyn still irom anapp/ pmee— Uod’s ipoiy amoLe a .a m iiu* fact), and his co • menance seemed not unlike tu .t of St. Michael, as portrayed by Gui do.

Among them might be seen a bright young girl, with n wealth of golden hair, Jlk© the violet’s hue, and lips like wild cherries. This was the Princqa Elizabeth, and all eves were turned toward her as she seated herseif in the velvetcishioned pew appropriated to* the court. The mysterious organist llxed his eyes upon her and wenton piny lug. No sooner had the music reached her ear** than she started as Ifughost im* crossed herpaih.' The bh o I faded from her crimson cheek, her Upsqui vered, un-i her whole fram.e grew tremulous. A 1 last her eyes met those of »he organist in a long yearning look, and the melody lost its joyus notes and mice more wail ed and sighed and enamored. “ By faith,” whhpeied the King to his daughter, “ this organist bus a muster haud. Hark ye, he shall play at your wedding*” The pale llpsnf the princess parted, but she could not speak—she was dumb with grief. Bike one in a painful drieiim, she saw the pale man at the organ and heard me melody which tilled the vast edifice. Ay, lull well she knew who it wus, an-l 4 why the instrument seemed breathing out the agony of a tormented heart. When the services were over and the royal party had left the cathedral, he stole away as mysteriously ms lie come.— He wus not teen again by the sexton till the v« Bper hour, and tlieu he appeared in .he organ loft and commenced his task.

The mysie nous organist still kept his ptMt, but his head was bowed upon the insti ument,and ne could not see the lone devotee. Ai length she rose from the aisle, aud mov ing to the orgau loft paused beside the organist. ••Bertram I” she murmured. Q,U'Ck as thought me organist raised his head.

But the Princess mount ed on a snowy pallrey, and 0 ad in snow white velvet, looked pale and -ad ; and when on nearing the church, she heard a gush of organ music which, the Jubilant in sound, struck on her ear like a funeral luieil—she trembled a.id would have fal len to the eaith.'had not a page support eil her.
