The 'packet contriii ed a letter from
Albert,Vritten at roidnight, in andel
patimi of a duel; :and frorri all Marge-.
tet gathered the fearful intelligence
that such a rencontre had taken plaCe,
and her brother left dead upon the field.
"You are ill, my dear friend,"
ex
claimed Juliet, as Margaret, after si
lently reading the note, crushed itih
her hand, and stood mute fur a inoment,
pale and lifeless as a statue.
Margaret rettirned . no' answer she
did not seem tci hear: There was a
change in the.exriresiion of her eyes,
'that said more than words, as she
turned ' hastily from Juliet, ' and *de
scended do her room, and sent . ' for
Jphn, her brother's servant. 'He came

away'. 'he afew minutes the phaeton
was at the door; and Margaret. throw
inz a cloak about hOr, seated hOr , olf
beside the driver. Few loungers no;
tired the singular departure ; and
those few accounted it another accen'-
tric act of the beautiful Miss Pinckney.

hard, smooth beach, running . for a
itiort - distariCe only thrOugh a piece of
wood', then turning again upon the;
sands, until it terminated in a retired
spot. known as the Cove.
Margaret gathered the cloak close
about her, as the wind dashed the rain ;
the heavy thunder seemed rolling up
onithe huge waves, so increasing was it,
and her spirit would have re yelled in
the tumult, but that her soul was dark,
for upon the heart the loved brother
lay. dead. Gone, gone forever. Oh !
.the . bitterness of such .moments!
What sin is there which may not be :
washed out by a suffering such as
this The loved brother, more than
brother—the, father to the little one,
who, bright- eyed and trusting for so
many years,,had. iooked up to his
andlistened to his kind voice,
now gone, and she alone in the world.
The sad walk to the grave would be
followed -by one mourner. Back

my soul's deafest light, with the braie

hopes.
It.-was quite dark when Margaret
reached the designated spot, and with
_some , difficulty fund poor Albert.
Weed, - .Tulin almost stumbled over
the pro.itrate form which a vivid flash
of lightning revealed to Margaret's
eyes. , ,In the (benching rain . blinded
by lightning, and almost stunned by
the.thUnder of the fearful storm, the
brave girl bent. over. . her brother's
form, and .sought, oh, so earnestly,
'fir some evidence of lingering anima,
tion'. •
"Oh•Ple is gone, he is dead ! " she
exclaimed, passionately, as she lifted
his head from the
: ground.
"He's warm yet, Miss Margaret,
and, indeed, I think 1 feel his heart
beat.
It Might' be imagination. but Mar

John,--help me, he may

-in the carriage. You are the stronger,
John—hold him gently in your arms.
I will drive."
-Margaret, though schAeled from ear
ly childhood to driving Albert's hors
es, found this attempt hazardous in the
extreme. The. wind blew in a per
feet, tempest—the dark night was
made yet,more blind hy.the vivid flash
es• of lightning, which followed - one
after - anotl.er; so continuously, at
times, it seemed is if the, very night
were.in a blaze.. . Unmindful of the
risk, and. only . anxious to get her
brother to abetter and assist/nee, she
drove furiously towards the, town.
The, storm seemed in pity _;o abate—'
-the lightning glared only at intervals—
and each roll olthe thunder came like
the cannon of retreating hosts, fiercely
battling as tney fled. Still the rain
fell, or rather was furiously driven . by
wind along the earth. , Margaret
drove rapidly on. The road, as I
hare said,. lay for a short distance
through a wood, then came upon the
beach. She could not see to guide
her horse, but the noble animal kept
the path. The increased din of 1 - virl
and ;waves told of a near approach to
the sea: The road seemed flooded,
while heavier
. quantities of water were
flung -over them than the rain could
give. A blinding flash explainedthe
cause. , The violent storm-had driven
the sea far upon. the beach; and io the
brief glance, Margaret savi a world of
' angry waters tossing their snowy
crests, frequently plunging ro and their
carriage, and flinging their spray over
her. , She bent her head to Albert,
expecting each moment to be swal
lowed up ; and as she did, her ear
canght . a deep, groan; which seemed
to feel its way into her heart.
"My poor brothel," she whispered,
..'we will die together." But the no
blehotse struggled orr—now plung
ing girth deep hi the waves, arid again
flinging the water from his - strong
quick feet. The danger was past, the
town gained . , where sister and broth,

A brief and Unusual excitement was
created in and about the Court House
about noon to-day, from - the fact that
upon a complaint made by Robert Mor
ris, Esq., a writ of habeas eorput was
issued by Judge Herrich, and placed
in the hands of DOputy SheriffM err ill,
directing hire to bring with him Wore
the Court, a'colOrtid girl named Mary
Ann Miranda, who, it was alleged, ‘vas
restrained of her , liberty. The writ
also commanded the Sheriff to summon
- one John W.' Smith, who resided at
No. 7 Seaver place, to appear and show
why the said Mary should not bedis
charged.
It was stated that the girl in ques
tion was indented to Mr. Smith some
four years since, by her master at the
South, and that during that period she
had resided in Smith's fimily.
The girl states that she is now thir
teen years old, and that about four
years aio she left Ainvilre (she could
not name the Stato)'in company with
Mrs. Smith, with whom she came to
this city. She also states - that she was
sent here by her Ynaster to take charge
of 'an infar't child ; that her , master died
about two years since, since which
time no remittances hive been receiv
ed tiir the support of that child ; that
the relatives or family abet- deceased
-master, have once sent for her to re
turn, but that Mrs. Smith refused to
allow her to go.'
The girl in anayrer to interrogatories
from the Court, stated that she , had
not - before left Mrs. Smith bediuse she
would not let her go, but that she did
not wish to live with her any, longer.
but on_the contrary .was desiroui of
•
leaving her.- • :
Mr. Smith did not appear before the
Court ip ausweeto the summons, and
the Court at once ordered the dis
charge of the respondent, and-decreed
that she was at liberty to go where she
pleased.—Batton Journal ofiSaturday.
