SUKREKDKII OF THE NERAPI9 TO
IULKIdIAUD.
While the Richard and the Serapia
were in flumes, the Pallas, on reaching
(lie scene of cnnliict. at first cnnlenteil
itself with preventing the interference of
the Scarborough wit It Puul Jones's chan
ces of victory over the second named En
glish craft, hut, raining courage, it at
length succeeded in capturing the Scar
borough. , „
The captain of the French ally (Lan
dais) who, it will bo remembered, hud
hurled ofl to a safe distance, at the com
mencement of the flght, and left Com
modore Jones to liis fate, on observing,
lids turn of events, ventured back to
within hailing' distance. 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

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. There werb about a hun
dred English ptisoneison bo>*rd. In the
panic these were liberated. One of then?
brawled through one of the pot tholes of
the Richard and then by a slmiar ave
nue into the Serapia-lhe two vessels be
ing still in contact—and informed ts
commander (Captain Parson), that the
American vessel'musteUhersink linme*
dluiely, or surrender in a few minutes.
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 MTHTEIIIOVS ORGANIST.
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.
L >3t In the melodies which swelled,
arou l him, he »ut with his “ far-seeing”
eyes fixed on the distant sky, a glimpse
oi‘ which ho caught through an open
window, When there was a Btlr about the
church door and a royal party came
sweeping in. 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.
While he played a veiled figure glht-d
in and knelt near a shrine. Tnere she
remained until the worshippers disap
peared, when the sexiou toucned. her on
me shoulder and said :
“ Madam, ev rybody has gone but you
and me, ui U i wish to olose the door.”
•• I am not ready to go yet, was the re
ply, ” leave me—leave me.”
The sexton drew buck in asliady niche
and watched and listened. 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. Tn-e, with the light of a
lamp suspended to the arch above falling
fu»l upon her, mo »d the Princess who
had giaced the royal pew that day. The
court dress of velvet, with its ermine
trimmings, the tiara, the necklace, ike
bracelets had been exchange I for a gray
serge rohe and a thick veil which_ was
now pushed back from the fair, girlish
fa V. e \.Vl,y are you here, Bertram?” asked
the Princess. .
“Icame to bid you farewell; and as i
dared not venture into the palace, I gain
ed access to tbecathedral by bringing me
(tell ringer, and having taken the best of
the dead organist, let my music breathe
out tbe adieu I could not trust my Ups to
utter.” , ,
i A low moan was the only answer, and
* he continued :
> “ You are to be married on the mor-
row?”
“ Yes,” sobbed the girl. “Ob! Ber
tram, what a trial it will be to stand at
yonder Altar, and take U|ioa me the vows
which will doom me to a living death.
•• Tliiuk of me,” rejoined the organist.
“ Your royal father has requested me
to play at the wedding, aud I nave prom
ised to be here. If I were you r equal 1
could he the bridegroom instead of the
organist i hut a poor musician must give
y '"Ills like reading my soul and body
asunder to part with you,” said the girl.
“To-nightl may tell you thls-tell you

s "she waved him from her, as if she
would banish him while she hud the
power to do so, aud lie —how was it with
him! He arose to leave her, then came
hack, held her tu his heart in a long em
brace, and, with a half smothered fare-
well, left ber. , , .
The next morni n K dawned in cloudless
splendor. At an early hour the-cathe
drul was thrown open, and the sexton be
imn lo prepare for the wedding. Flame*
colored flowers nodded by the wayside
flame colored leaves came dashing down
ibe trees anti lay In heaps upon tne
ground ; and the ripe wheat waved Hite
S golden sea, and hurries dropped in blue

• At length the palace gates were opened
and the royal parly appeared, escorting'
the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral,

when on nearing the church, she heard a
gush of organ music which, the Jubilant

It was a brlglit afternoon, a dav that
breathed o( the freshness aud mildness
of spring. Broadway was one mass of
gay promenuders, and the avenue was
alive with a crowd less motley, better
dressed, and more orderly. Calling at
Booth’s theatre, we were joined by Mr.
Edwin Adams, the II ;ht of whose ge
nius lias burst whh sm h sudden splendor
upon the bewildered metropolis. Hass
loir up Sixth avenue to Twenty-se* en h
street, we turned to the left, and slowly
picked our way across town. Went
Twenty-seventh street Is not the most
charming place In the world for a prome
nade. The pavements are rough, and
generally obstructed with boxes, barrels
and whole troupes of ragged children,
the latter engaged In boisterous play.—
Neither are the odors very pleasant In
some quarters, and with good reason,
since so many human beings are hud
dled together, without regard to comfort,
in the tenement houses. • But slowly
pursuing our way, we crossed Ninth ave
nue, ami the waters of North river were
sight. ami ‘fre*h wa* the. breeze that
came from the mi-rordlke sunace.
A few steps iruin the avenue, on the
Hdiit li aide of the street, we observed a
brick building, with tin roof and solid
construction, standing back about ten
leer from the regular front. A high and
close board fence encloses the lot, and
keeps the publicly a sate distauce- Ihe
privacy of the thing excites curiosity,

When he is told that it dw the stable of

and Lady Palmer, that here the Auburn
horse died, and .that just within .the gate
Grant has complacently smoked JdB cl*
gar, it Is natural to auppo-e that tfce grati
fication ot first curiosity simply creates
an Intense desire to explore the mytteri*
ous domain.
We rap on the oaken door, the
bolt turned back, the hinges creak, and
we stand face to face with one of the
trusty grooms. On presenting a small
slip of paper with the single line, “ Ad
mil Mr. B. ami friends. U. B., M we are
1-olltely ushered In from the street. As
the dour slams behind ns, a boy astride
a horse, hooded and covered, comes round

path ismadeoftan bark, and as we glance
ut the horse, In spllo of his disguise, we
recogniz* Lantern. 20 years old, but still
robust, still full of fire, and as fleet as ev

walking exercise. He passes on, and
we enter the stable.
The first apartment is used os a car

grooms. The walls are ornamented with
prints or racing and trotting horses, and
an equal temperature is preserved by a
large stove, the heat regulated by the
thermometer hanging nei»r by. Above
uro sleeping rooms, mows and granaries.
On the left Is.a row of wagons of various

is drawn by Lady .Palmer and Peerless;
that light affair, so light that it appears
a mere toy, was made for Pocahontas;
and this strong top wagon, standing, in
the middle of the fl*»or, robe and whip
arranged as if for a drive, is kept for Dex
ter. But we have not time to Unger over
these. , .
Wo pass on to the second apartment,
and, standing in the first stall on the
right, Is a chestnut mare with a h'ood
like look. This we know without being
told is Lady Palmer. Those leg; were
maiie for speed ; firm as Htell, and wall*
out a blemish. In the adjoining stall is

ahe will go faster than ever on the road

The first stall on the right is reserved,
for Lantern, and the first box on the

Wo were surprised to see him looking so
trim and firm. There Is hut little sur

As Mr. Bonner wus-to-drive-hlm.tiiia.at-.
ternoon, we stopped to wee the harness

operation, we observed that his owner
drives him without blinds, and with a
plain bar-bit covered.
Adjoining Dexter’s box was the com

and handsome mare, Peerless, Arabian
white, and smoothly built as the steeds
of the desert. Well is she named, foron
this gieen earth we doubt if you can find
her peer in form, courage, and speed.—
And we fancied that when she surveyed
Pocahontas, the look said, **Queeii before

not plucked a single leaf from my l uure *
