The war was over, and Spain was again at peaceful rest under the reign of her much prized sovereigns. " Plow shares and pruning hook's" had been made of the implements of war, and the public mind was tranquilly resting front excitement, save in an occasional startle it received, attendant upon no daring and unpardon able exploits of Don Hernandez Pedro, the outlawed rover of the high seas. The cir cumstances of this blood-stained pirate formed a historical problem, one which occasioned much inquiry by limo crown heads of the Eastern Hemisphere during the latter part of the seventeenth century ; and had given rise to many conjectures, and excited in a particular manner the curiosity of the public. The mere mention of the name of Ilernandez Pedro was enough to freeze the blood in the veins of the mariners, not only those trading along the Indian coast, but of those who naviga ted the waters of the English Channel, and along the coast, of Spain itself. In 'l6—after her Commerce had been preyed upon almost to extinction in the Indian seas. Spain driven to her last ex tremity, fitted out an Armado for the cap ture of this more than relentless rover, and after a very expensive and unsuccessful cruise of ten months, the piratical craft was overtaken, and Don llernandez Pedro with his crew, were taken to the Bastiles of Madrid, there to await the punishment his . _crbpos so rielily-fic l / 4 Frited.u ----- The. "Dead Secret" was divulged to Senor Lopez, a convict, who had been tem porarily confined in the Bastile, and who, I propose to allow to finish this little sketch. " I was ushered into a damp dark cell ; the heavy creaking portals had closed upon MC, and my heart sank within me as I list ened to the clanking of chains and the omi ous footsteps of the retreating turnkey. The blood in my very soul seemed as ieo —and my breath seemed curdled as I felt the dampness and gloom of that dismal dm peon-wrought prison house. There 1 was, a prisoner, a convict, but not a felon, thrust in among thieves, pirates, murder ers, and brutal, loathsome wretches of al most every conceiVable descriptie - "The tenderness of a Mag , ,...ene stole into my heart, and I fell upon the hard cold floor only to weep—and covering my face in my bands, I freely suffered my cheeks to be drenched by the large hot tears that gushed out so freely from the springs of agony in my soul. The night bud waned, and the small hours of morning had broken in upon my sufferings, when the keeper, that inevitable turnkey again' intruded upon my hoped for privacy. He was a large man, having the look of a brute, and apparently, the heart of a devil incarnate. rtvery vile, bad passion seemed to have added an expression to his scoundreiry face, while his eyes, of a small and green ish gray, a pointed hooked nose, enormous black whiskers, and a billions, sallon com plexion, Ware set off with a frown which the constant bullying among the wretches under his charge, had deepened into it per manentscowl of cruelty and hatred, seldom mistaken, and not easily forgotten by those over whom he presided. His voice was brazen and disagreeable even to the most hardened in crime. It, to me, resembled the discordant cry of a savage bird of prey, and always sent a shudder through my frame that unstrung my nerves for hours after he had departed. " Get up, clear out from there, you ras cal!" he said, with a kick, "Its nigh bed time—off with you 1" The manhood that was sleeping within me was aroused—and the blood mounted to my temples with a rush of fury that was painful. I raised my arm to strike, when he gave me a blow that laid me upon the floor, and screamed out for a guard, who grasped me by the shoulder with the grip of it. vice, and almost lifted me from: the floor. Leading me with every epithet of insult, the barbarous keeper struck me again with his baton, while the soldier held me with the strength of a giant, and the next moment I found myself stretched at full length on the cold stone floor of a nar row cell, in which, I perceived, I was lock ed for the night. A faint light shone in through the bars of the window, and discovered to my view two straw beds, the only furniture, on one of which sat another figure. He was as motionless as a statue, and in the confusion of tbencoment I scarcely knew whether it was en apparition conjured up by my ex cited fancy, or a figure hewn out of granite, or a human being and prisoner like myself. I gazed upon him through that dim light, with a fearful interest, for ho was of a col lossal size. An expression of fixed and stern despair was pictured iii his rough and savage-like face ;"' and seated on the rough bed, his cheek and temple rested on the open palm of his brawny hand. Silence reigned for some time, and so far as I knew ho did not look at me even, although the rude manner in which I was hurled into the room or cell, wits apparently sufficiently abrupt to have, at least, excited the atten tion of an ordinary man. As I have said, there was a dead silence for some time, during which he sat steadily gazing at the narrow strip of sky visible, with its bright constellations, through the narrow, barred window. There was something in his atti tude and aspect thaf made my blood cold, and sent it tremblingly back from the swol len veins of my forehead with a rush that completely deadened the fury which had burned in my heart since my last meeting with the jailor." " Who are you, friend ?" I exclaimed, in a whisper, so low that I scarcely knew whether it was my own words, or merely a thought, but it sounded distinctly through the deep hush of that dungeon, and seemed to echo back the words from its cold, damp walls, while he slowly turned his large, fierce eyes upon me. As he moved, too, there was that horrible rattling of chains, and I perceived that ho was heavily fetter ed by manacles which were fastened by massive iron rings close to his ankles and wrists. "I am Don Hernandez Pedro, Senor," ho said, with a foreign accent, and a voice full of melody No one can describe my feelings when I heard that mime. I actually startled, and lay with my head thrown back as far as possible against the rough stone wall, and a feeling of horror thrilled and vibrated through every nerve of my frame. He was a pirate, of noted ferocity, who had com mitted more monstrous murders than man could enumerate. He was a by-word around the hearthstones of thousands of families, and his name used to check the sweet smile of the sailor's wife, and make the merry faces of his children turn white with awe. Now I remembered that this terrible ruffiad was said to have been cap tured, and was awaiting the punishment of death in the " Old Misfile," but in the hur ry and untold anguish of my own sudden calamity, I had entirely forgotten it, but, reader, I was not now likely to forget it again. "As soon as my eyes began to graduate themselves to the dim light of the coil, I commenced more plainly to distinguish his features, and I noticed a smite suddenly dawn upon the sombre shadows of his thee, betraying a line of white teeth, contrasting finely with the sable curl on his lip, and his deeply expressive eyes lighted up for a moment. he really looked beautiful. A picture of hint with that proud, deliberate smile, the black, soft hair 'curled closely upon his broad, clear forehead, and a milk-white collar of linen falling carelessly buck from his athletic throat and chest, might have passed for the hero of many a romance, which steals the white oyes of the enamor ed maiden from her inklnight slumbers. "Boy," sold he, in a rich Spanish ac cent, and in the same mellow tone, which touched me like o rebuke for its gentle ness, " look at me—are you, too, afraid of the manacled Hernandez? He will not hurt you. He will never linrt any one again. Then let us be friends. Come, boy, here's my hand." I reached out mine, and ho, the miserable pirate, shook it with such feeling; as to moisten my eyes with tears. " And how long have you been here, Her nandez, or Friend Ifernandez?" I asked, in 801110 tneasure recovering may natural mood. " But two short months," said he, bow ing his head. " AnQ how long I stopped. " You are a stranger here—no?" he in quired, with a smile., 6,fore, and - hope I newer shall be again." "Then I know wfiat yon want," said ho. "You want to know when I - shall die?" I shuddered, and,nodded my head. " To-morrow morning, boy," said he, with an indescribable expression; and a kind of ashy paleness settling over his fea tures, yet in a voice remarkably firm. " must be dragged out of this cell, this miser able pen, to-morrow, like a beast, before my fellow men, and to-morrow night you will bo sitting here alono—and where shall I be? Oh, God !oh, God! where shall I be ?" The barrier of his feelings seemed to have been no longer strong enough to contain them, but to break away on a sudden, and he shook with an agitation so tremendous, Hutt I thought his existence would end at once. Presently he recovered. It was won derful to see him three himself back into an air of resolute calmness, and dash away the large, hot tears from his long lashes. I had always experienced it feverish cu riosity respecting the effect upon the mind of a brave villain of immediate death, and begun, in conversation with this wretched 'individual, to realize a fearful pleasure. Ife was strongly hardened upon the sub ject of his crimes, and in that respect, only, differed from other people. We have a false idea, many of us, that a murderer, or professed pirate is an intrinsic monster; but I found this unfortunate being only a man, gifted with man's best attributes, compassion, courage, perseverance, gene rosity, and even delicacy of sentiment. lie was only a man, who had committed monstrous deeds, with the same qualities as ourselves, but led away into dark places by . sophistry and passion. I name this distinction, that the innocent and high mindod, in perusing the history of such a creature, many not look upon it as some thing with which they themselves have no relation, bat rather as a career into which they imp , be plunged, unless ever watch ful to shun the most trifling deviation from principle, , mod avoid cruelty or impetuosity in ordinary affairs. As the weary hours of.the night rolled on I spoke these sentiments to the condemned pirate, and won so on his confidence that ho told me I was Mc only being who had ever-zreated- him with kindness since his . boyhood. " Lied you been tbrtunato enough to have possessed parents," said I, " to train you up in the way you should have gone." "It was my father's cruelty," interrupted lie, "that made me what I atn. When once guilty, I despaired of forgiveness froth man or heaven, and went on desperately shedding blood; but my father drove me from my home by a blow. Yes, o btowl" he repeated with a tierce glance,as if ho even yet wirthed beneath it, "and I was a villian from that moment. I shall think of that to-morrow when strangling before the thou sands. I will tell you," ho said, "how I was blasted when I was but a boy. I was not tame and crouching, like other boys, but nature had filled Inc with unmanageable feelings. When any one made mo angry I lost my self-command ; when they were kind to me, I never forgot it. My father was a cruel nmn ; he never loved me, and I should have left hint before, but for a girl. I was only a boy, and we loved each-other. Ono night I had been sitting with her, we had mutually promised to be faithful, and I left her with such a full happiness, that I scarcely heard the stern question of my hither. "Where have you been so late ?" and, in. stead of repenting it—or waiting my reply —be struck me. I dashed away like a wild deer. It happened that the very day before I had been strongly persuaded to embark as a sailor on board of a ship bound for the West Indies. I flew to the friend who had made me the offer and accepted it. We were to sail the next 'day but one. My heart failed one afterwards, and Lwent hack to my dwelling at night. It was a cloudy and blustering evening. I looked in at the window and saw my mother and sisters: they were weeping—weeping for me—and Rosa was there, too ; and several times she turned her large, clear blue eyes upon the window where I stood. My soul re lented, and I was about to rush in, when the door opened, and my father entered with his erect form, and cold, stern, cruel look. The sight of him brought back all the tumult of my bosom. I stamped my feet and clenched my fist, then cast one last look upon my aged mother, my affectionate sisters, and dear Rosa. I never saw them more. To-day they are ignorant of my fate and, perhaps, to-morrow, when I am struggling in the last agonies of death they will be smiling. They have forgotten me. Oh, that to-morrow was past!" I asked him if he did not repent of his crimes since committed. "No," ho answered, with the look of a demon—"No ! I glory in them ! Man has hunted me, and fortune, too. I have never known friendship or kindness; and now they have taken me as others would a monster, and would put. me to death. I have no regret for any crime except one, and that, I confess, haunts mime, and always has haunted me. When I was in the Curti bean Sea, I commanded a piratical brig, and we boarded a merchantman well load ed with specie. We murdered all the crew, cut them to pieces, or shot them down just where they happened to he. The deck was slippery with their blood. They were all massacred !" • "Monster!" exclaimed I, Execrable monster!!" "Nay," he continued, with a hoarse, horrid laugh, "that was nothing. It is no more to me at this moment than if they had been so many hissing adders I had destroyed by grinding their venomous heads with my heel. But—'' Ile paused, drooped the lids over his largo black eyes, and drew his breath in between his half closed lips, as if recalling to memo ry some horror which stung him actually to the nerve. I wits almost frightened to be thus alone, at midnight, in a dungeon, with a being capable of such atrocious deeds of death. I thought his desperation might next induce Idin to grasp my throat with those giant hands, and from the very wan tonness of the madness that came creeping over hint, add one more victim to the bloody catalogue of crime. "Do not go on," I exclaimed, shrinking from him as lie• as I could. Ile seizt.d my trembling arm with stai ding energy. The chains upon his limbs r•altted and clashed. "But, I will go on!" His voice had now altered to a scream—shrill and piercing.— "I InUst go on, boy. You must hear it. It has been locked up in the core of my heart for years, bccmning and bca•nivag and burniny, and if I do not reveal it to you I shall never ieveal it, litr to-morrow, you knots', I are to take the leap—ha, ha, lui,—short time for story telling, is'at it my friend ? but I will tell you ; and I would tell you !" he added with an oath that made my head swim, as his dilated eyes glared with terrible feroci ty—"l would tell you, though I knew it would bring those accursed walls tumbling about our heads. What are you frighten ed, my poor fellow? Well, come," he said, relaxing his grasp, and patting my should er affectionately, "why should I injure you ?

He resumed the attitude in which he sat Whoa I entered, and remained long without speaking. I oven began to feel sleepy. For several nights I hail been a watcher ; and so I stretched myself down upon the thin straW, inch wished, like my compan ion, that this might be all a dream. I soon followed my example, and by his silence I thought him "As fast locked up in sleep, as go It labor When It lies starkly In the travQlloe's hures: After some time he started up and faced the narrow cell ivlth a desperate imps tience, sometimes uttering such a groan that my eyes were filled with tears of compassion.

The old gentler:ion was game: I half-liked biro; for he show ed fight to the end, and tired at me with a pistol for putting my hand under his girl's chin. Ha, ha, ha—he'd have got over that squeamishness. If he'd lived a little longer; but that could not be. The girl prayed so hard for life on any tennis, that I could not, resist, and we spared her. I mulct not but think how many throned kings, how many dukes and lords would have given their eyes almost, to have had those red lips to touch—and to sit still, and make thoso delicious blue eyes look up into their face for protection on any terms, as they did in mine. I saved her for several weeks; but wo found it necessary to put into shore —and the crew began to grumble—and I thought myself that we stood in need of a rope—or I should have said u chance of a rope, should any one full afoul of us with this tender thing on board.

St range S tory, The Galveston Bulletin s "One of the strangest incidents of domestic life that ever came under our notice, occurred on Tuesday of last week. The story thus told : Mrs. Bowen is a widow of forty one years old, whose husband died last year with the yellow fever. Thirty years ago, • heiag then only eleven years old, and a resident of Comanche county, Alabama, her eldest sister married and removed to another portion of the same State. "This marriage was unhappy. The husz of tlils marriage was a daughter, tvlto was stolen from school, and seems to have been reared in almost total ignorance 01 her family. All that we know of the child is that she is now a lady of twenty-nine years, anti re sides in her native State. About a year since Judge Dent, of Batt., Dean WM son, received a letter front this lady, say ing that she believed her aunt resided in Galveston, and that she desired to know of her whereabouts. After inquiring, he found the missing aunt in he Mrs. flower. The ladies were put in communication, and the one in Alabama assured that her moth er, from whom she had been stolen, nay dead. "Thus matters rested until last Thursday, when a Mrs. Martin, at the suggestion or a mutual friend, was introduced to and visit ed Mrs. Bowen.

A friend, who has lately been on a visit to the " Hub of the Universe," writes us this: " I barn just seen a very pretty and fanci ful idea developed on pears and apples in the orchard of a friend at West Roxbury, Mass. As you ramble among the trees you are ever and anon saluted by an inscription upon the fruit, done as if it were by the bonds of nature herself. Hero you meet with the familiar name of Mary, or Alice, or a date (ISGli)—in brief, everything that may suggest itself to your taste or fancy, attd all done in the skin of the fruit, without abrasion or any eweign impression. The discovery was made by Hon. Arthur W. Austin, of West Roxbury, in 1851-2. He observed, deli ne the former year, that ap ples did not reddeic in that part of the fruit where a leaf happened to lie upon it. In 155'2., he cut out letters from newspapers, and when the apples were yet green, he pasted them upon them with paste such as the apothecaries use, made of Gum Traga euth. The apples would reddens in all parts not covered by the pasted letters. When the fruit had reddened to perfection the letters were removed, and they would ap pear permanently outlined in green. So again, When be pasted on the apple a paper in which the letter, were cut one, the parts covered by the paper would be green, and the letters would appear, distinctly t u rued in red, the green ground surround ing them. The experiment is a very pretty One, and produces a happy effect. Let our fruit growers try it. 1.7.0 w much sweeter Must be the relish of an apple or pear, if the name of a flivorito should thus appear on it, as if written by the hand of nature.

MAKING ujT.--As As several_ladies within the past two weeks have desired us to republish our receipt for making this much esteemed dish by many persons, wo herewith comply with their request, in order that it may be in time for this year's crop of cabbages. It is this: "In the first place let your 'stand,' holding from a half barrel to a barrel, be thoroughly scald ed out; the cutter, and the stamper also well scalded. Take off all the outer leaves of the cabbage, halve them, remove the heart, and proceed with the cutting. Lay some clean leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprinkle with a handful of salt, fill in half a bushel of the cut cabbage, stamp gently until the juice just makes its ap pearance, then add another handful of salt, and so on until the stand is full. Cover over with cabbage leaves, place on top a clean board titling the space pretty well, and on top of that a stone weighing twelve or fifteen pounds.
