there stood on the north-Cast coast of

shoie, spen t as.much of my time as
raeuldispai.7e for some, weeks after
wards in making search beneath the
cliffs fur other,rehes of a similar kind.
I was one day se-absorbed in study-
ing the appearance' of certain stones
that lay on the beach, and for reasons
I will not go into now, t thought
were the remains of one of the most
ancient of the Celtic edifices that
have been discovered, that I did not
notice how high the tide had risen;
till it came : washing among the, stoma
was examining. I looked round
quickly, 'and - saw, with a very un
_comfortable sensation, that the sea
had - already.reAehed the cliffs I had
passed. • To escape .that way before
the tide
. would carry me off my legs,
and beat, me against the rocks, was, I
knew, impossible. TIQpO lay in• going
crawatis ,and finding an opppingiaVie
cliffs before ' the., tide had - risen much
higher. I . stumbled along •ae - . fast as
I could -go over the slippery,,sea
weed ; but the sea- wassurging and
.tharning.against the rocks so strongly
that I found.it ',diffidult to make any
progess at all. •Looking ahead, I
could see no sign of a break in the
cliffs, and I WM about to resign my-
self to death, when I arrived opposite
a cave. which seemed to have been

served that the Rue of sea-weed on
the fragments of rock indicated that
• during ordinary tides it was not fill
ed by the.sea. To go forwrard, seem
ed certain death, to remain _hero gave
at least a hope of. escape. Hastily
deciding re favor of the cave, I enter
ed ; and to shield myself from the
surf as much as, possible, immediate
ly - began piling up.the pieces of Pock
and sea-weed saes to make as effec
tual a barrier was in my power be
tween me and it. After enduring a
long period of painful suspense, I saw
with fervent thankfulness the setting
in of the ebb. 1 was calculating the
chances of my being able to rtitolt
certain point in the cliffs by which I
might Ascend from ' the beach before
it became dark, when I was suddenly
startled . by hearing a :voice, which
seemed to he at my elbow, say
"Here is another blanket for you. It
is more than you deserve . ; but I will
not deny you any.physical comfort I
permit myself to enjoy." .•
A weaker voice, but also that of a
female,•replied :- "Oh, My lady, let I
me but see the blessedsunlightaguin,
and I will not care for clothes or
food. Think of the years I have suf
fered in this dark plaice."
To which the first speaker answer
ed in a passionate tone : "And what
have your sufferings been compared
to mine ? Rave I_
,any hope of es-
Cape from mine, you wretched wo
man ? Nay, does not every day that
adds to my weakness .increase the
pains I-suffer, by making
. me - feel
more acutely the want of sympathy
of which -I have been deprived
through you
The dull sound of a closing door,
I and a low moaning which followed,
was all that I heard afterwards. To
find words which could give you any
idea of my utter,astonishment, is im
possible. Though dark, the cavity
eras so small at the upper end that I
could satisfy myself by feeling, al
most without stirring from the spot
whereon I was seated, . that there
was no opening from it, and certain
ly that no other - person was present
in it besides myself. After much -re
flection, the truth began to dawn up-
I on my mind ; the only building along
that part of the coast which lay close
to the edge of the cliff was Kyarlin
Castle, and that the voices came from
inmates of that building, I was the
More induced to believe by the words
"my lady," which, though they did
not imply that the person'addressed
born that title, yet showed she was
a person of some distinction. Of
course, you think I at once opened a
conversation with, the.person
• oned ; but I did nothing of the kind..
At that, time, every family of 'the

parts of Ireland bad individuali bang

from any member of the : family, or

might be acting rightly in aiding the

asked no questions: that. evening, and
what I subsequently learned from
her was confirmed by,„,Nirs. Ideyrick
of Ky - arlin Castle,
upon whom I con
sidered it my duty to call with the
aim of inducing her to make some
provision for the 'pew Victim of her
pUsion; From, other sources too,
and at different periods, I heard other
matters relating. to the case, which
enables me to give the following nar
rative in a connected form:
. Catharine Mostyn was the daugh
ter of a man who had sacceeded to a
large' but encumbered estate, and by
a continuance . of the same careless
extravagance which he had been ac
customed to see from his youth. up
wards, ho had, by the time his daugh
ter, had completed her seventeenth
year, reduced himself to a condition
in which hewas, scarcely. anythine•
better than the steward- of the - estate
nominally his own. - Just. about.,this
time, Henry Meyrick returned- from
St. Omer, where he had,been for sev
eral years living with a man, who
had been his instructor from his
youth. ills age was then twenty
two, itnd having neither .father or
mother, it was supposed that he
would not long remain at Kyarlin
Castle, .especially — a's the man who
had been appointed by the executors
to-manage the. estate attached to it
had proved himself both honest and
able, Shortly after his return to Ire
land, Mostyn, as" one of his nearest
neighbors, and who had known .him
before he had been sent to - France,
called on him, and invited him to his
house. Here, .of course,- ho became
acquainted wibh jCatc Mostyn. She
was remarkable for her exceeding
loveliness, which was almost•equalled
by her pride, and the cold severity,
almost sternness of her manner.
Much of this latter may have been
engendered by poverty, acting on a
naturally proud and haughty charac
ter, and the confined discontent aris
ing out of a comparison of her actual
condition with what it might have
been. Henry Meyrick soon became
so deeply attached to her, that no
body was surprised when it was an
nounced that the day had been fixed
for their marriage. - When this event
took place, they went Abroad for a
few months, Mrs.' Meyriek having
never been - out'of Ireland previously..'
They had not long re:turned to I( . yttr-:
lin Castle, before it was a matter of
common talk that he saw only with
ber eyes. Childishly' fond as Mr.
Meyriek was of his wife, and submis

She went battli to her room, , and lock

came to her, eiie would neither open

mainod obstinately silent,' be left the
castle, and did, not return that night,
perhaps thiakinghe would thus bring
her to reason. It strongly favors the
opinion that,Mrs. Atreyriek was hasty
in her conclusions, since her maid did
not shew any relnetance to go to - her
her mistress when she rang the bell,
who i however, refused tai allow her to
enter the room, and rang. again for
another servant. That night Sane
Wilmot, her maid, disappered,
The day was still yonng when Hen
ry Meyriek returned to the castle, 1 1
niter a-night spent on the sea-shore.
He was almost is white as his wife
was the previous day.—Walking
wearily along the passage leading to
his room, he told the man who fel
lowed, him to bring him seme coffee ;
and throwing his hat•into one corner,
be was about to sit down to his writ
ing table, wheelie saw lying on it a
letter, or rather a small packet-, ad
dressed to himself in his wito's hand:"
writing fittaity opening it, he saw,
not an offer of - forgiveness, for the
paper it contained was a blank sheet.,

upon him .like the fabled head of the

afterwards, ho saw his master take
something from - the table, and thrust
it quickly into the breastt-pocket of
his coat, and then leave the, room
without touching the coffee, or speak
ing a word. He went straight to the
stables, put a saddle and bridle on
the first horse he came to, without
heeding or seeming to hear theoffers
of a groom to do it for him, and rode
off. The groom said afterwards that
his master looked like a man that had
seen a ghost. A few days afterwards
his steward received a letter from
him, directing to forward a , certain
sum Of money at specified periods to
a bank in London ; and this was the
last, communication received from
him.
The sudden disappearance of ,Jane
Wilmot excited a great deal of talk in
the country round. Various rumors
were, of course- in circulation to ,ac
countfor it; hiitthat which received
the greatest currency, and, for a time,
was most generally credited, was that
Mr::lt.teyriek had taken heraway.With
him : . Gradually, as the circumstan-
Ces under which he had left became
known', this opinion died away. Be
fore this bad happened, however, a
young man named William Maearthy,
bad inherited a small farm from his
father, presented himself at
~Karlin
Castle, and requested to see Mrs, Mey
rick. At first she refused to see him,
but he insisted so strongly, that she
could'nOt "continue her refusal, and
was forced to admit him to an inter
view: His object in nailing on her
was to ascertain what had Demme of
Jaiie He gave no credit to
the rumor that she had . gone away
with Mr. .Meyrick ; and road some
letters he — had received from her,
proving that he had for a considerable
period been paying his addresses to
her, and thatmatters had advanced so
far that he had been pressing her
to fix the day for their marriage.
Under these circumstances it was,
natural that he should refuse to be:
bey . ° anything to her discredit, or
that she could have left the country
without communicating with him.
The inference, he : drew, therefore,
was; that She was still in the castle.
From what I have said of Mrs. key
riolN character, you will have no dif
tionhy in imagining the, kind of re-.
ply he would give him. Macarthy - ,
rendered bold by his love for the mis
sing girl, insisted.that she would 110 t,
have left. the _castle with Out the
knowledge and consent of her mistress,
nor without informing him of her in
tention. Mrs. ;Myrick was fay too
proud even to suggest that her bus
band had taken the- girl away with
him.—Violent language closed-the in-,
terview, and Maearthy' left with, the
threat that he -would go to the wag

To find out who this maiderer - was,
they had recourse to an, expedient
which-_. thought bad been discontin

erected,-and on this the body of the
deceased Was laid on a sheet.—The
wholeot the men-servants employed
at Kyarlin Castle wore ordered by
Mrs.'Meyrick to attend the ceremony
of touching the body. One by• one

-ployed at the castle to look after the
boats, laid his hand• on the chest in

accountable as it may appear, the
wounds on the instant opened afresh,
and blood began to' trickle from them
on the bier. The man imthediately
fell down in a fit, and in this condition
was thrown into a cao,.and escorted
by the friends of the deceased to the
nearest jail, His triaName On in due

with nails. Then I ran along by the
fields, and waited for Ilidearthy at

made to ascertain what had becOme

of the day on which her mistress had
taken such offence at Jane Wilmot,
the girl went to bed, and, though
much grieved at what had passed,
soon fell into a sound sleep, from
which she suddenly awoke, and found
her mistress bending over her in the
met of tying a handkerchief round
her neck. She was so frightened by
the expreesion in her. face, that she
wanted to 'cry out ; but the handker
chiefwas forced into her mouth, and
shewas made dumb. She tried to
raise her hands to pull it out, and
found that her ...arms were fastened
at the elbows behind her back. Mrs.
Meyrick then turned her on her face,
and drew the cord tight till her el
bows touched. Having rendered her
entirely helpless, she ordered her to
get out of bed, and come with her,

THE EMPEROR ALEXANDA AND THE

When Alexander, of Russia was
traveling in the Crimea, waiting to
have his carriage repaired, he walk
ed leisurely on, and sent General D
gorward to make arrangements
at the next station, As be yeas walk
jag, an aged woman aPproached him
and asked if he helonged to the . em
peror's retinue. The emperor hav
ing answered, with a smile, in the"af ,
firmative, she said :
"Well, then. I guess you hate
brought me the letter and the mon
ey from my son in St. - Peteriburg."
"Who is your .son ? inquired the
Emperor.
"La, don't you know him? Why
be is Iwan, the stove heater in the
winter palace ; because lain growing
infirm, he annally sends me what he
saves of his wages. Now, as I have
understood that -our most gracious
Emperor has come in our part of the
country, my Iwan has doubtless en
trusted the money for me to ontitoi
the gentlemen of the retinue ;or is
may be you are the hearer of it 7"
"The Emperor told her laughingly,
to go speedily into the next village;
apply to the officer there.; (giving
her an exact description of General
11-,) and demand her money
from him. -
Courteously thanking him, the
