[Written ErpreßslN far the "Spy.'l Lights and Slaulows of Life. L. AUGUSTUS JONES CIIAPTER Doctor Littlejohn is silting in Judge Ashley's easy chair in the library. The village postman. has just brought.. him a letter, and his fingers tremble nervously as they break the seal. How easily we are agitated and troubled sometimes, without being able to tell exact ly why, or wherefore. This was the case with Doctor Littlejohn), lie' And 'exl3ected t and he was not waiting. for bad news', nevertheless he was visibly agitated the very moment the letter was placed in his hand. With nervous eagerness he unfolded the soiled and crumpled missive, perusing its contents rapidly. How the color came and went as lus - eyes devoured the contents—pale and red by turns—and when he had read all, an oath broke from his lips, startling him as the walls echoed back the sound of his voice. 11.50 A. M. 5.05 " IDE= He gazed around the' dim and dreary chamber, holding the lamp high above his head, thinking that some one had spoken the curse alter him: but no, 'twas only the echo of his own voice, and he became calm ZSE Crushing the letter in his hand, he arose, and began to pace to and• fro, muttering broken and half inaudible sentences. Lashem had written briefly, informing Doctor Littlejohn of Madelon's escape, with her child, from the Asylum hi which he_ had her- confined, adding, "1 have,„been_ hunting for her day and night, and I have put spies on her track, 'out all our ctlbrts to • find her have thus far been unsuccessful ; I know not where she has gone.'.' Madelon escaped ! he ground his teeth with rage, and clenched his hands so tight ly the nails , 01.1 - his-fingers - were,- almost buried in the flesh. , " ll—n Lashein !" he exclaimed, " dis charge him if he don't find her and have her taken back again ! I'll raise the devil - with the doctors and the keeper of the asy lum for letting her escape ; see if I don't. I'ut not going to pay them a thonsaml dollars a year- for nothing ! let them -know it, too: Madelon will raise mischief if they don't catch her soon ; and I wouldn't have her find out where I am for the wealth of the Indies. This is the sccotar time she has goL loose from their clutches, and they are very careless, I think. I can't pay them -to keep a crazy wolllll7l in close co;vincnecat, - and then -have her haunting me, and—.." He paused abruptly in his exclamation, and staggered backward as though he had suddenly received a violent blow; and there he stood in the centre of the floor, ghastly pale, and trembling, his. byes upon the same weird, ghostly face, that had once frightened him before. Pressed close against the glass, the dark hair hanging in disheveled Masses on either side, was that death-like face; and the black eyes Hashed angry reproach on the 'heartless man who cowered- and shrank front their . gaze. " Madelon !, my. God—it is Madelon !" broke from his lips ; and as he uttered the words he reeled and, would have fallen had ho not waved the back of a chair for sup port. Slowly the window swung back upon its hinges; a thin, emaciated hand parted the costly curtains, and the wronged, injured woman glided into the apartment like a spectre. , For a moment Doctor Littlejohn gazed upon that shrunken, Avasted form, :nal on that face he had once called beautiful.

Doctor Littlejohn has no eye to ad mire these things ; and whither, oh, whither, roving goddess of Fancy wonlds't thou lead sae? I must toil for my daily broad.

Leave me- 7 I P i Aly thee, leave me! 0 Duetor Littlejoliu walked slowly Blown the pebbly path until tie reached the road side. Ile paused When he came to the gate, and Loot: otihis hat, to let the breeze fan his feverish brow. H0w...c001, how refreshing it was; and he stood there with one elbow resting on the gate, wondering where Madelon had gone— ,wonderingif he would meether soonagain. I . He longed to meet her and yet he dread i te d the interview because hd had wronged her. When they'first became dequaintect she was a governess in a wealthy merchant's family who resided in Charleston. Their intimp.eysoort ripened into love, (love on Madelon's side,) and when' the doctor pro posed;' lie was accepted, and they were mar ried.tihant a month afterward. :‘Vitli her wealthy husband,Madelon bade 'tulle:n.lo itiose Who had ever been kind to together they started for Sew Or leans, on n pletentre trip. The newly married pair passed , n happy honey-moon, and for a while Doctor Little john was as kind, loving, and attentive to his young bride as any man could be. At length his manner changed. Ho grow tired of her society, and sometimes he would be gone for - days, always saying when he returned, important business had called him away. She was young and inexperienced, of a confiding and' unsuspecting nature, there fore she never for a moment doubted' him, but readily believed all that he said. Being an orphan, she had none but lain to love, and her young heart's pure and holy affection was centered in him, for lig was her only earthly idol. But this blissful dream of happiness was destined soon to end, and she was soon to learn how false; how utterly unworthy of her love was the man whom she had chosen to be her guardian, her protector, her guide through Life's varied and changing scenes. Oh! how• bitter is the awakening from our love dream, when we first learn our af fection has been giveh to one who makes it a plaything to beguile an idle hour, and then casts it coldly away, even as a child spurns the gilded toy that has lost its firs! freshness and beauty. How deep, how_ keen, how agonizing is the pain that tortures the brain, and rank les in the heart, when first we learn the bitter truth, the one who is dearest to as on earth is lost to us on earth forever; lost, though bound to us rby the holiest ties— ours only in name. Oh ! ye who stand before the altar, pledg ing your solemn vows to "Honor and Obey, to Love, Cherish and Protect," strong youth, and beauteous maiden,' remember thy vows are registnied by Heaven's Re cording Angel, and break• them not while life itself shall last. Madelon at length became earl:rale, and her husband informed her one morning he was about to :tart for home, in order to make some necessary preparation for future reception and comfort. She made no objection to this proposition, for she thought he knew best what should be done, and. fearing that, she might anger him, she merely said in ltvr usual quiet way, "I am so glad I am going home at last, for I am tired with the noise and bus tle of this great city. 1 need a little quiet and repise. Oh, I tun sure we shall be very happy at home!" A sharp pain pierced his heart as he said, "I hope we may. I shall send, for you soon.", "..S'ett for me?" The dark eyes looked up tearfully in his own as she'aited timid ly, •`,Can't you come after me yourself? I don't like to travel such a long distance with a stranger." "I can't conic myself very well," he re plied evasively ; " but I will send a friend to bring you home: You will be as safe with him as you would with me." There was no other alternative; his word was to her a command, and site thought it her duty to submit. With a loving embrace they parted. A week went by and site heard nothing front hint ;'but at the end of a fortnight, early one morning, a tall sickly looking man made his appearance at the hotel, and inquire ,for Mrs. Littlejohn. lie Madelon was sitting with several other ladies. He introduced himself as Mr. Simple, and gave Madelon a letter from her husband. Her lingers trembled as they unfolded the precious missive; precious, IJeeause it was the first she had over received from The contents of the letter were brief, and it contained no tender expression, such es a young wife loves, nor one gentle, affec tionate word. -Doctor Littlejohn bade her start for home immediately, in company with "his dear friend, Simon Simple."- Informing Mr. Simple that she would be prepared to start that afternoon, she sought her chamber, and- he took his departure, promising to call at the hour afipoioted. True to his word lie came, and together they both set out for Macon, Georgia. • Little did the young wife dream of the deception that was being practiced upon her by her false lord, and his well paid, vil lainous accomplice. The journey was made with all possible haste, and at a late hour one night when they alighted from the cars, her polite and attentive companion surprised her with the welcome assurance their journey was at an end. " Tho distance is short trout the depot to your husband's home; it is about three tunes," said Mr. Simple. " I will order a carriage,and we shall soon be driven there." " If you please, sir." The dark eyes were gazing in hiN own ith an innocent expression of thankful ness, and Mr. Simple felt ashamed when he thought of the treachery he was perform- JIo almost \visited that he had refused to have anything to do in this disgraceful af fair, hut a thousand dollars annually, add ed to his yearly salary, \vas a temptation that he could not resist. Doetor Littlejohn had said, •' .1%1:Melon is insane, and I will pay you well if you wilt keep her in the Asylum where she will never trouble me again." Mr. Simple promised he would do su for it thousand a year. - Thu bergain was concluded, and Mr. Simple was dispatched without delay to New Orleans after his fhir captive. Simon Simple had no difficulty in engag ing a carriage, and after paving the driver, giving him a few useful hints as to secrecy, such as coachmen and cabmen oft times re ceive, himself and his companion took Their seats in the conveyance, and they were driven rapidly away. The lights and the houses were soon left behind, and as Madelon gazed out from the coach site saw they were riding along a lonely road, where the houses were few in number, and long distances intervening between. But she gave little heed to surrounding objects : her thoughts were all of home, and him whom she loved. She was silent, and her companion did not break her Wis.:nil reverie by a word. He was leaning back against the suit cushions, with folded arms, gaiing at her half pityingly. Suddenly the carriato turned from the main road into a narrow avenue bordered on either side by a high hedge, and in it moment afterwards the coachman's voice startled her. " Whoa ! here you arc Mister, safe and sound !" The door was thrown open, the steps let down, and there stood Simon Simple wait ing to assist her. She took his proffered humid and sprang lightly to the ground. Mr. Simple closed the door of the couch with a bang, and away it rattled down the gloomy avenue. "Take my arm it you please, and I'll assist you up the steps." She looked first at him, then'at the steps, then up nt the dark, prison -like building before which Thoy were both standing. $2,00. Per Year, in Advance; $2,50 if not Paid in Advance, Suddenly she started backward, alarm and astonishment marking every feature. " Where am I, oh, where am I?" she cried in piteous accents; " tell me, why have you brought me here ?" And there she stood, pale and trembling in the moonlight, her dark eyes fixed upon the great sign over the door, on which was emblazoned in letters of gold, " AULLEDOEVILLE LUNATIC ASYLUM." " Don't' be alarmed ; don't bo the least Lit alarmed," said Mr. Simple. " This is only a little trick - of mine, and I intended to give you a pleasant surprise. When we stopped at the depot I met a friend of mine, and he told me Littlejohn was here—told_ me the doctors were holding a consultation, and they had sent for him. • When I heard this I made up my mind to surprise lay friend Littlejohn, by bring ing you here, leaving you in the " Visitors, parlor, sending him word a lady wished to see him, and then keep out of sight myself. I thought it would be such a capital joke— ha ! hal. such a rich thing—and then he can take you home with him when ho goes. Come,-let us go in! I know he'll forgive me, and we'll drink a bottle of wine when we meet again at his own house.'] Her doubts and fears vanished in an in stant,. What had she to fear when she was with her husband's friend? During their journey his manner had been deferential and respectful, :And he had treated her with brotherly kindness. Her husband trusted him—why should not she? She thought over what he had said, and being anxious to give her husband a pleas ant surprise, she took Simon Simple's arm, and went in. Doctor Littlejohn was not there; zutd Madelon soon learned she was a prisoner. Tears and entreaties were of uo avail : she was confined in a strong room that was sit uated in a part of the 'building were visi tors were not allowed, and there she was left to bewail her fate. Iler only attendant was a coarse, repul sive looking woman, who brought her food regularly three times a day, but resolutely refused to answer any questions. ~Thus was loving and innocent Madelon imprisoned in that gloomy place, from whence she escaped not until after the birth of her child. -A• Cll-I.I"I'ER XXX. Doctor Littlejohn still stands at the gate, musing in the starlight—thinking of his past life, and wondering what the future has in store for hint; whether time will bring him happiness or woe. Ile gazes up at the sky, the pure blue sky, and from time to time he sighs as though his heart was troubled. Can it,be possible that he has any feeling left in him, after leading thus tier a life of sin ? He fI U have—fur see ! the tear drops are trickling slowly down his cheeks, falling silently :wrong the pebbles that lie at his feet. !• She was a.good mother to tne," he mur murs, " and I,know that her spirit is watch ing over one from the bright heaven above; watching over inc, a wicked, erring man.

Manhood is wan ingTast ;my hair is turning gray ; and Death with its fleshless linger is pointing me onward to the tomb. I fear death, I dread the judgment be yond the grave, when I think of the dark catalogue of sins that, are recorded against me. Oh !if I could pray ! Oh ! if I could repent ! could atone for the wrongs I have- done those who have never injured me, I would be content; but it is too late now, for Coil will- not hear my prayer— guilty, God forsaken wretch that I am ! have planned and plotted to gain wealth and power, 'and now when ray coffers :r•e overflowing with gold, I cannot purchase the love for whielfl sigh ; I cannot purchase happiness.

Oh, misery! misery !" lle bowed his head until his aching brow rested on his folded arms, and there he stood in the twilight and silence of eve— weeping. A light touch on the shoulder caused hint to look up; as lie gazed around he started with surprise, for therd• at his side stood Madelon, with her babe clasped close ly to her 'breast. " have suet again," she said in cold, calm tones, and her dark eyes flashed forth reproach as he shrank from her steadfast gaze ; "husband, we have tact again." lie retreated still farther, for her pale face and wasted form were so spectre like, he feared to look at her. " not fear the ; I ant but the shattered wreck of her whom you once called beauti ful ; still I am your - ..\fadelon in the sight of God and the angels. I tun still unchanged. The love my young heart gave you is un altered and pure." " llusband," she went closer, and laid her hand upon his arts, "do you love sac ? In the sight of heaven, with the stars above us, cast you look mo in the face and say, Madelon, my wile, I farce never broken the solemn vow I inside o•hen we steed side by side to be wedded ?" " 1 can't say that ; I can't say that," he faltered, iemoving Lia arta from her grasp. " Why did you wake Inc your wife? NVlty did you lure Jae from a home and friends, with your false pretestations of tni dyin:; love? llid you envy an orphan's happiness when she dwelt with those who were ever kind ?

HiS lingers worked nervously about the knot of his neck-tie, as though it was chok ing him. " I loved you once," he said, at least I tbought I did ; but after we were wedded ii fairer face than thine haunted me, until the ziffection that I cherished for thee died, out in my heart. I know that I, have deeply wronged thee, :Madelon - ; know that you will hate and despise me when I tell you that this unholy passion is firmly linked with every fibre of my being, and nought but death can teitr it from my heart.

Am Ito blame for this? If so, may God forgive me." " You love Leonoro Ashley, and you had me confined in the lunatic asylum so that you could make her your bride. ArriT not right ?" "I know not from whom you derived this information, but I will acknowledge you have been correctly informed. Iwasin hopes that I might obtain a divorce; and be forever free from all claims you might chance to bring against me. My plan has failed, unless—a—unless ...yott are willing that we now part by mutual consent. Ido not love you. I never can love you; and I know you would not wish to live. with a man who was weary of your presence: would you ?" . There was a great struggle intheheart of the young wife, and her breast heaved with bitter emotion as she clasped' her uncon scious babe in a passionate embrace. " Look at your helpless child 1" she cried, holding the infant scalto-lighii . f .. its waxen face. " Look at your' boy z 3 VC; slumbers in its mother's arms, and let your marble heart be moved to pity! Can you not see your own features mirrored in his? Gaze at him well, unnatural, unfeel- - ing man, and tell me woulds't thou cast thy offspring nn the world, to dwell among strangers, to toil, and drudge, to be a slave through life, while you revel in luxury and wealth? How Calmly, how peacefully he sleeps, with the dark curls clustering around his beauteous brow, and a sweet smile wreathing the rose-bud lips. How gently the silken lashes rest on the pure white skin, and how tenderly the small • hands are clasped above the little heart that knows no care. Look at him well—and tell me can'st thou leave him ? Husband I Father! look at thy beauteous boy!" Calmly, coldly, unmoved he looks upon the slumbering child, with his army folded on his broad breast ; but no ray of affection or pity beams forth from his eye: stony and unfeeling is his gaze, and he betrays no outward sign of emotion. The babe is to him like a beautiful piece of mechanism, which he may admire, but not love. He always had an aversion for children, forgetting, doubtless, that he was once .a child himself. I -have known many like him, but their friendship I have never prized : I shunned them ss though there was pollution in their touch—l dread them more than the pestilence. " Can you part with him ?" and stadelon looked up so hopefully, pleading so earn estly for her child. •' Part with him ! what would I do with a baby I'd like to know. I can't take care of it: it Will need a mother's care for some time yet, and you had better keep it. You can look about and find a home, and when you hare one engaged, write tome for money. Perm an estimate as to what your yearly expenses will he, and my agent shall send you the money in advance, every quarter. In the meantime, with your consent, I will apply for a divorce. Are you satLsfted with my proposal?" "Nothing can move you: you are deter ' mined, to leave me, are you?" Hamr"he - reptlett - iirerniy. — •"-Toesu n,- - • ly cannot wish to dwell with me when I do not love yon ?" - "No," she faintly gasped ; "I am too proud for that; but if you have no love for me, I am sure you do not hate your child." " I don't hate any person,•and I am will ing to provide for you both: neither of you shall want while I live. If 1 couldlove you I would ; but that is now impossible." He was silent a moment ; and then look ing up, he said, " You have a paper in your possession that is very valuable to me, and I will be thankful if you give it to me." "A paper?" she exclaimed in surprise; "I have no paper of yours in my possession: I can truly say I have not." ,- " When you made your appearance at the house, in tile library, I ,was so startled I fainted. I had a letter in my hand, when I fell senseless on the floor, and in my pock et was my wallet containing a small amount of gold, besides a paper which I would not lose for the world. When I recovered my senses the wallet and the letter were both gone, and I concluded, after searching in vain for the missing articles, that your had robbed me and lled." " I fled the very instant you fainted, for I heard the sound of approaching footsteps. I know not, what happened afterwards; and if you have been robbed, don't accuse poor Madelon of the theft. You look incredu lous: search me if you doubt, my words." Could he doubt her? She looked too in nocent, too truthful ; and thinking, "The Judge has the missing articles in his pos session," he began to pace up and down the path, crunching the pebbles beneath nis feel. Something Nrbizzed past his face, falling on the walk beyond him. He halted ab ruptly, gazed a moment at tbe'small, dark object lying near him, and then ho retreat ed from it, as though it was a hand gren ade. thrown by sonic concealed assassin to explode and destroy him. Madelou approached and picked it up. " Here," she said, " what is this?" lie CB3llO forward and took it from her hand. " My wallet ! toy wallet!" he exclaimed, and them he proceeded to open it with ner vous haste. The gold was all there—bur`the paper was gone. Lie groaned aloud ; and as he thrust the recovered trc:%sure into his pock et, a hoarse laugh thrd chilled his blood with terror came echoing from the hedge, followed by the sound of retreating foot- steps. " The devils of the internal regions aro leagued against me," he exclaimed; and without another word to .11adelon, ho turn ' eel and fled toward the house, with that strange, mocking laugh still ringiugiu his ears. • tione, lost to me forever," broke (from Mathieu's lips as she gazed up at the starry sky above her.

Orri-rtsa "Wer.—When a person Is wet he ought never to stand, but to continuo in motion till he arrives at a place where he may be suitably accommodated. Here he should strip off his wet clothes, to be chang ed for such as are dry, and have those parts of his body which have been wetted well rubbed with a dry cloth. The legs, shoul ders, and arms are generally the parts most exposed to wet; they should; therefore, be particularly attended to. It is almost, incredible how many diseases may be prevented by adopting thiscourse.
