Alaric; OR, THE TYRANT'S VAULT SICILIAN STORY OF EARLY TIMES. CJAPTER I. la MEM Not far from the city of Syracuse, when it was the metropolis of all Sicily, an object of longing to ambitious conquerors, and one of the finest cities in the world; not far from this pl.tce, upon the shore of the sea, stood a man, who had just landed from a vessel that was now sailing away towards the North. He was quite young—not over five mil-twenty-4;oi and well-proportioned: with a muscular system finely developed; and possessing a face not only striking in its manly beauty, but remarkable, in one so young, for its stern, resolute. and self-reliant expression. Ms dress was light and simple, and evidently of lireek manufacture ; the lower limbs being clothed in close-fitting goat-skin, above which he wore a shirt of white Hum confined at the waist by a belt of tine mail. Upon his head was a cap of woven stuff, the top drooping over the right ear; and his feet were shielded by a pair of sandals. Ilis only weapon was a short, heavy sword, which hung, in a leathern scabbard, - . from hi, belt of mail. lie stood for awhilo, ti0)11:2;11 undeci ded course mm :1:‘ , 111.1 pursue ; but finally lie o=,;lled an old fo•horman, not far off, who had just come down upon the beaclo aa.l t.,wards lout lie math, hi. oar.

You are right: there, — :rcßpoinie I the ether. " But tell me—where can I find Artabanus, the hertnit ?" The 11.11errnau took another careful look into his interlocutor's face, and then an swered : " He lives upon yonder mountain, which is called Catalano. Do yuu wish to see him'!" 44 ye,.ty " Then follow the path that leads to yon der cot, until it brings you :to a small stream. Cross that, and then upon your riAht hand you will see beaten track. Ile lives in a cave near the tep of the mountain, and this track will lead you directly thither." The young man thanked his informant end was upon the point of turning away, when the latter resumed: " I wean no offense. Your face looks familiar. It has the east of a countenance I fancied I had seen defure." "You'll at least remember orbasing seen such an one on this morning," said the young man ; and as he thus spoke he turned EMS " Aye," muttered tho old Sicilian, half to Liaiself, lint yet loud enough to reach other ears; "and I call on _Neptune to witness that I tare seen it before. Such faces are not multiplied—they are not plenty in Syracuse there times. Ala , : more's the pity." The youth he,itatcd for a moment, as though he would turn Lack, bat he overcame the disposition, and kept on. When he had begma to a• tend the mountain, Ire stepped and looked behind him, and saw that the ti.herman ..v; .s already upon the water. “Can it lie," he said, to himself, "that my face is so little chang^d? I think I remem ber that man. r-r he has spread his nets long in the- c matte; but hOW should he re olmul,cr ine? I pray the gods that there be rot many in Syracuse that will yet be so obsen ant." With this the tral eler kept on r.p the! m 4untain until he had reache 1 a broad table the bay. and the city boy ml. 'l'l,o greet metropolis was spread out before him, with its massi‘e walls, its teinple , , and its palaces, and a tear started down his cheek as be gazed upon the scene. Ile clasped his bands upon his 1)- 80111, trod, with a few Imuttered words, he started 4,11 again, Ile crossed the stream, and took the path to which he had been tected: but he did nut f011.4w it as one who was a stranger to it, IN Ile pursued hi- path w ith an ease and a-,m ant e. tie]. att it han a I, , tr.ietedness hieli could Live been indulged in only by one w ho knew well the way he was going. Up the steep, rocky height 11'.; climbed, and, when he t; , 4ally stopped, it was before the entrance to the cave—a cave ;shi,.ll nature had (*ash ' ned in the mountain's side, and sheltered ft 4,11/ the cull's fervid heat, and the fury of tile storm. At the mout't of this cavern sat an oil man, o; er vdmse head anti fourscore ; cars had rolled. Ws hair and beard were tt bite as the :14.:e4.3 , ci..ul that sailed ab o ve the mount, :1141 floated in riiken, wasv mes , es o; er Iti , shoulders and breast. A mantle of grey cloth en;el Ted his ft ame. nad his feet, were sitol with /lc:au He wA, et: 14c41 over en old manu-ctipt, but as he heat 'I the sewn: of approaching Punt et Cit, 11c elo,ed the volume and rai.ed hie head. tiv.mit. , T. my son," lie said, with luJk (If , Iniplc wekqze. father, I gieet thee," thu youth re turned, at the same time extending his hand. erh...l the aged man, starting to feet. a 4 the accents fell upon his ear.— Ile shaded his eyes with the palm of the left hand, and gazed eagerly into his vigitor's face. "DJ I see aright?" ho added. "Is it Alarie—my old pupil?" "Aye, good Artabanos. I am Marie— come once more to gee thee:" For some time tt l e hermit gazed into the young man's face in silence, imt finally he • "Sit down—sit down, my eon. Thy pres ence has started a host of varied emotions to life within me, and I must recover my thoughts ere I can talk with thee in reason." "Thank the gods, I find thee alive and in health," replied the youth, as be let go the old man's hand, and took a seat upon a wood-bench close by. "Aye—l am well in body." returned Ar tabanus. "But," he added, thoughtfully continuing to gaze earnestly into his com panion's face as he spoke, "the body is but a small part of man, and the ills of the flesh are very joys when compared with some of the pains to which the soul may be subject. But tell me of thyself. Where host thou been?" "I have been in Greeze,"replied the youth. "'When I fled from there shores, 'eight years agi, I sought refuge there, and there Ihave remained ever since. Oh! I wept this morn ing, as I gazed down upon the city of my birth. I had thought I had done weeping over those memories; but when I again gazed upon Syracuse they came crowding upon me with a power which I could not re sist. I saw the very temple beneath the walls of which my father and my brother were slain; and I could see the roof beneath which my mother died. Artnbanus, there were not many of the patrician families escaped that foul butchery." "No, Al.tric. Of all who were loyal to the true interests of the people, I have seen only 3-ourself return. There were of few escaped, but not many. Were there any went with you to Greece?" '• No, father. I escaped alone. I saw my noble parent cut down—l saw my brother fall—and when I knew I had no relative left in the city. I fled. Fortune favored me. I Road a small boat by the sea shore, and 1 put out alone upon. the dark, waters. I thiated away tvlita, and from thence I gaincd a. passage to Greece. The tyrant still reigns in Syracuse?" "Ala , l yes. And his deeds are evil, and the people suffer. We have bad uo peace in Sicily since gaol Helixes died. Thou v.ert 1/lit a mere child then." “I was seven years old. I remember the good king well, for my father, you know, was one of his chief officers." "Aye—you were oiler than I thought," said the hermit, musingly. "And I remember that there was some mystery connected with the good king's death," remarked Alaric. "Am I not right?" "There was not much mystery," answered the old man. "He was weak and weary, and he left the throne that he might die in peace; and death soon came to him. But why hest thou returned to Syracuse?" " Can you not guess ?" returned the youth. " I might guess many things, my son." " And yet but one of them would be right. I have said flail left no relative behind mo when I made my escape' from this place; but I did leave one whom I loved—one about whom my affections were entwined with a life that could not die. You know of whom I speak." " Aye—you speak of the mason's daugh ter, lanthe." "Yes, father. Is she alive 7" " She is." " And well'?" " She is well?" "And," pursued the youth, in a more eager tone, " is she still free?" " Why ? Have you thought that she would remember you in love through the years that have passed? " 0! do not tell me that she has ceased to love me. True, she was a child in years, but I loved her then, and my love has grown stronger in the separation which has follow ed. I know there is danger to me here, but I came with .a will to meet it." " But suppose your very life were in dan ger if you sought the maiden ?" •' You may warn me of danger, if you will, but do not seek to place the barrier of fear between me mid my desire, for I know not the emotion. You, Artabanus, taught me when I was a boy, and your wise lessons have not departed from my mind, You taught me that there were many things more to be feared than death, and I have come, prepared rather to die than live all alone in u distant land, with the sad memories of my unhappy country for my only heritage." "And you would not turn from death, should it raise its threatening front between yourself and lan the?" The old man's gaze grew more earnest as he thus spoke, and a spark, within which seemed to gleam some newly awakened hope, burned in his eye. "My father," answered Alaric, with a flusldng cheek; " I could almost feel offended did I think you doubted me, but I do not think so. Show me that lanthe loves the, and not even l' . !..rrho himself, with blood stained crown of Sicily upon his brow, shall have power to startle me from my course, while life is mine." ArtabaNut , started to his feet and grasped the youth by the hand. `• Noble Alarie," he cried, with a joyful entlumiasm, " thou art worthy of the maid en's hand. She does love thee—she cher ishes thy memory within her heart as the most precious thing of earth, and for long years she has Used upon the hope that thou wutddst returned to her." "o—the gods be praised!" ejaculated the 0 1 / 1 14 11111:1 " Put," added the hermit in a changed " there mu,t be danger in thy path. Pyrrho holds hi:, throne only through the 1.-ar and etolavement of the people, and he knows it. Your father was one of his bit_ terr-t enemies, and he was also one of the first t% hum the usurper found it necessary to put out of the way. You are not only the %ery image of your noble parent, but Non must remember that you had arrived almost at the full stature of manhood when you Pod from Syracuse. You were then seventeen, and from seventeen to five-and twenty, especially in one so early developed as you were, there is not much change. You were a man then, and you are no more now So you must expect that you will be known and recognized. But let us speak of that hereafter. First do you see lanthe, and when you have found all right in that quar ter, we will consider further." "I shall find her with her father ?" "Yes—and his house is just where it was eight years ago." " I will go and seek her, then, and—" " 11 , 31 d, my son, You bad better wait till nightfall era you enter the city, and also exchange that Greek shirt for a garment less likely to attract attention, for I assure you that too much care cannot be taken." Alaric was impatient to sea lanthe, bet he saw the force of the hermit's reasoning, and ho was willing to wait. So ho sat down by his old teacher's side again—sat as he had sat years before, when receiving instruc tions from the same lips—and listened to the story of the wrongs that had been done in Sicily during the last eight years. Hour after hour passed away, and Artabanus had still more to tell of the tyrant's cruelty. Mericiful heavens !" cried the youth, fired almost to phrenzy by the recital, " have the people borne all this ?" "They have borne it under the fear of their lives. Pyrrho's soldiers are posted at every place where a murmur can arise." "And how long shall it last?" "Till some spirit with a heart big enough to love Sicily more than life, and a soul that fears not the tyrant, shall arise in Syra cuse pronounced the old man solemnly. Alaric started as he met the glance of his aged companion, for there was a meaning upon it of more than mortal import, He dared not trust himself to speak then, for the feelings that had sprung to life in his own soul were so wild and strange that they fairly startled him. lie arose and walked out upon the mountain, and ever and anon, as his eye rested upon the distant city, the tumult in his soul came to startle him again. He did not seek to analyze the emotion, for it was so bold and gigantic, so genie-like in its misty proportions, that he dared not handle it with reason. After a while Artabanus came out and 'touched him upon the shoulder. " Alaric," spoke the old man, "it is wax ing late, and we may be on the move. Let us eat a crust of bread, and then we will descend the mountain together. I must go with you as far as the fisherman's cot, for there we must find a more fitting garb for you. Glyeon is my friend, and may be frett ed to the verge of the grave." The frugal supper was soon dispatched, and then the two descended the mountain together. At the fisherman's cot they stop ped, and found that Glycon had just return ed from his day's labor. Artabanus took him apart, and having explained to him as much of Alaric's story as he deemed ad visable, he asked for some garments that would answer for the youth to wear. The fisherman led the way to his scanty wardrobe, and the necessary garments were soon selected. Alaric's legging of goat-skin were replaced by long hose of blue cloth, and his white linen shirt was exchanged for a dark brown frock, beneath which be could easily conceal his short sword. After this the hermit accompanjed him to the southern shore of the bay, and' there stopped: "We had better not be seen together be yond this point," said the old man. "From hero the way is plain, and you have had caution enough. At the gate you will not be stopped, unless some of the guard should take the whim ,to question you. Be wise, now, and cautious, and let me see you to-morrow." "I will not forget." "Then may the gods guide and protect you." With this Artabanus turned back towards the mountain, and Alaric kept on. The shades of night were gathering over the city as the youth pa-sed in at the broad gateway, and the guard had already lighted their torches. He had .gone but a few steps when a rough voice commanded him to stop. "Did'ut you promise me a fish for my dinner, thou lying knave?" the voice con tinued. "You have mistaken your man," said Mario, hiding his face as much as possible without seeming lesirous so to do. "Good Bacchus, so I have. Thou'rt not Mestor." "No," returned our hero; and as he spoke he kept on. "That's a strange face," said one of the soldiers. "And, I thought il. fair one„' added an ISM "How now?', asked a third. "Has a stranger passed?" "Yes—a fisherman." " 'Tis said that a Greek vessel was upon the coast this morning, and we should know whom she landed?" Alaric heard no more. He turned the first angle in the street that presented itself and then hurried on. The way was familiar and he had no difficulty in selecting the various avenues he needed to follow, but he was not wholly easy. He had reason to believe that he was followed. lie took several winding passages to avoid pursuers, but Le could not get rid of the echoing ' foot-fall that sounded upon the pavement behind him. It slackened when he slack ened—it stopped when he stopped—and when he hurried on the echo hurried after ,him.• • . CIIAPTER 11. 4.4. : NT1F.7.101 ALARM Within a comfortable furnished apart ment of an humble abode, near the western wall of the city, sat two individuals. The first was a man some fifty years of age, stout and muscular in frame, and wearing the garb of an artisan, with the dust of toil still clinging to him. He possessed an open kindly countenance, and if it lacked in comeliness, it certainly made up in hon esty and frankness. Such was Bellerus, one of the most skilful masons in Syracuse, and possessing a fair knowledge of archi tecture in its higher and more elaborate branches. A genial, comfortable disposition had led Kitt into society of his own choice, and an antipathy to turmoil and strife, and an unwillingness to assume much responsi bility, had kept him from rising to any em inence in his profession. There may have been another cause for his retaining his humble-positidanbougherery desire of his social' life seettted . to be answered where be I=3 .Theother•peison—tho mason's compan ion—was a female. She had peen just seen twenty summers, and was as beautiful as the peoet's dream. In form she was light and graceful. her limbs full and round, and her whole frame full of life and vigor. her features were of true Grecian mould, with large dark eyes, over which drooped long lashes of silken texture, with a mass of wavy tresses clustered about her superbly rounded shoulders. Beyond the few honest friends who sometimes partook of the arti san's hospitality, she was not known. Bel /erns had guarded her with a miser's care, and few there were in the great metropolis who knew of the treasure of beauty that dwelt within his walls. The humble crafts men who shared her father's confidence loved her devotedly, but they loved with a worshiping love, as the kneeling shepherd loved his goddess; and they were all pledged not to speak of her in their intercourse with the outside world. "Don't call me foolish father," said the maiden, imploringly. "I do not call thee so, lanthe," the mason returned. "I only wish to help you over what may prove a most bitter disappoint ment. how can you hope that Alaric will ever return?" "My love tells me so." "Air—but love is blind!" "Then its feelings are the more to be re lied upon, for they come from the internal promptness of the soul. But I feel sure that he will come back to me. Only last night the bright goddess Electra appeared to me in a dream, and told me that Alaric would return. At least I will hope yet a while longer; for it is sweet to hope." Bellerus could not find it in his heart to do more towards dispelling the bright prom ise which the maiden cherished, and Ile turned the conversation upon another topic. Only a few words had been spoken, however, when a loud rap was heard without, and the host lighted a torch and went to the door. When be returned, he made a mo tion for lanthe to leave the room. "It is a stranger," he said, "and it is not meet that thou shouldst be present." But the maiden neither spoke nor moved. She had heard the tones of the visitor's voice, and her quick ear had caught a fa miliar sound. BeHorns would have reminded her again, but the stranger was close behind him, and quickly entered the apartment. lanthe saw not the humble fisher's garb—she only saw the well-remembered features which she had carried within the sacred repository of her affections fur so long a time. They were changed a little—they bad assumed more of manhood—but not changed to love. "Sweet Electra, my dream is truel". she cried, as bite started forward, and put forth her hands. "Alaric has come!" "So heaven looks down with richest blessing!" the young mairresponded, as he folded the maiden to his bosom. "May the gods preserve me!" exclaGd the old mason, gazing upon the youthful' pair in wonder. "I hope this is no trick of Thaumas to blind me. Alaric, is it thou?„ "In truth, good Bellerus, it is," returned our hero, extending his hand as he spoke.— "Surely thou shouldst know me." "Aye, and I do know thee now," the host responded, grasping the youth warmly, and gazing eagerly into his face. "By the crown of Pluto, I could not mistake that face. Thou art grown wouudruusly like thy noble father." The trio were soon seated, and when they had regained somewhat of their composure, Alaric gave a brief acclunt of his adven tures during his absence from Sicily. lan• the sat all thu while with her head upon his bosom, and ever and anon lifting her eves to catch the warm glance of his lore. At length the old craftsman went out, and the lovers were left alone. They told over the tales of affection they used to tell in other years, and for an hour the world was shut out from their thoughts. "0!" murmured Inutile, after Alaric bad imprinted a warm kiss upon her brow in token of the renewal of his most solemn pledges, "now that thou art near me, and my fount of love is full, I begin to fear the dangers which may beset thee." "Let us not think of danger now, my beloved," replied the youth. "This should be a season of joy and happiness unal loyed." "Aye—but we should not forget that there is a future, and that we must be watchful of the joys of to-day if we would have them with us henceforth." "Thou art right, Teethe. And I will be Z.k4 Itatchful. I know there is danger in the way, but I fear it not." Pro SE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.] General Pain Killer.
