A SICILIAN STORY OF EARLY TIMES CHAPTER I EMI Not far from the city of Syracuse, when it was the metropolis of all Sicily, an ob ject of longing to ambitious conquerors, and one of the finest cities in the world ; not far from this place, upon the shore of the sea, stood a man who had just landed frog) a vessel that was now sailing away towards the North. He was quite young —not over five-and-twenty—tall 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. His dress was light and simple, and evidently of Greek manufacture ; the lower limbs being clothed in close-fitting goat skin, above which he wore a shirt of white linen, confined at the waist by a belt of fine 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. His only weapon was a short,beavy sword, which hung, in a leathern scabbard; from his belt of fine mail. He stood for awhile, gazing about, as though undecided what course he should pursue ; but finally he espied an old fisherman, not far off, who had just come down upon the beach, and towards him he made his way. ;‘ A bright, pleasant morning, good sir,' said the youth. The old man cast his net from his shoulders and' gazed up. He carefully scanned the features before him, and then replied : Aye, fair sir, it is a pleasant morning. We have many such on this coast.' And yet it storms sometimes, I sup pose,' suggested the first speaker. He is a wise man who little heeds the storms he cannot quell,' said the fisher man, with a nod of the head which seemed to give his words more meaning than the circumstances under which they were spoken would imply. You are right there,' responded the other. But tell me—where can I find Artabanus, the hermit The fisherman took another careful look into his interlocutor's face, and then an imered : 4 He lives upon yonder mountain, which is called Catalano. Do you wish to see him V g Then follow the path that leads to yonder cot, until it brings you to a small stream. Cross that, and then upon your right hand you will see a beaten traok.— He lives in a cave near the top of the mountain, and this track will lead you di rectly thither.' The young man thanked his informant, and was upon the point of turning away, when the lattbr resumed : I mean no offence. Your face looks familiar. It has the east of a countenance I fancied I had seen before.' 'You'll at least remember of having seen such an one on this morning,' said the yoting man; and as he thus spoke he turned away. Aye,' muttered the old Sicilian, half to himself, but yet loud enough to reach other ears ; and I call on Neptune to witness that I have seen it before. Such faces are not multiplied—they are not plenty in Syracuse these times. Alas'. more's the pity.' The youth hesitated for a moment, as though he would turn back, but he over came the disposition, and kept on. When he had begun to ascend the mountain, he stopped and looked behind him, and saw that the fisherman was already upon the water. Can it be,' he said, to himself, that my face is so little changed I I think I remember that old man, for he has spread his nets long in these waters ; but how should he remember me / I pray the gods that there be not many in Syracuse that will yet be so observant.' With this the traveler kept on up the mountain until he had reached a broad table of rock, from whence he could see the bay, and the city beyond. The great metropolis was spread out before him, with its massive walls, its temples, and its palaces, and a tear started down his cheek as he gazed upon the scene. He elapsed his bands upon his bosom, and, with a few muttered words, he started on again. He crossed the stream, and took the path to which he had been directed ; but he did not follow it as one who was a stranger to its windings. He pursued his way with an ease and assurance, and, at times, with an abstractedness which could have been indulged in only by one who knew wall the way he was going. Up the steep, rocky height he climbed, and, when he finally stopped, it was before the entrance to a' cave—a cave which Nature had fashioned in the mountain's side, and shel tered from the sun's fervid heat, and the fury of the storm. At the mouth of this cavern sat an old man, over whose head some fourscore years had rolled. His hair and beard were white as the fleecy cloud that sailed above the mount, and floated in silken, wavy masses over his shoulders and breast. A mantle of grey cloth enveloped his frame, and his feet were shod with heavy sandals. He was engaged over an old manuscript, but as he heard the sound of approaching footsteps he closed the volume and raised his head. c Good morning, my son,' he said, with a look of simple welcome. c Kind father, I greet thee,' the youth returned, at the same time extending his hand. How !' cried the aged man, starting to his feet, as the accents fell upon his ear.— He shaded his eyes with the palm of the left hand, and gazed eagerly into his visi tor's face. Do I see aright 1' he added. Is it Alario—my old pupil V Aye, good Artabanus, I am Alario— come once more to see thee.' For some time the hermit gazed into the young man's face in silence, but finally he said : Sit down—sit down, my son. Thy presence has started a host of varied emo tions 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 he let go the old man's hand, and took a seat upon a wooden bench close by. Aye—l am well in body,' returned Artabanus. But,' he added, thought fully, continuing to gaze earnestly into his companion'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 hest thou been ?' I have been in Greece,' replied the youth. When I fled from these shores, eight years ago, I sought refuge there, and there I have remained ever since. Oh ! I wept this morning, 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 resist. 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. Artabanus, there were not many of the patrician families escaped that foul butchery.' No, Alaric. Of all who were loyal to the true interests of the people, I have seen only yourself return. There were a few escaped, but not many. Were there any went with you to Greece V 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 found a small boat by the sea shore, and I put out alone upon the dark waters. I floated away to Melita, and from thence 1 gained a passage to Greece. The tyrant still reigns in Syra cuse Alas ! yes. And his deeds are evil, and the people suffer. We have had no peace in Sicily since good Helixus died.— Thou wert but a mere child then.' 6 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 older 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 mysery,' answer ed the old man. He was weak add weary, and he left the throne that he might die in peace ; and death soon came to him.— But why bast thou returned to Syracuse 1' 'Can you not guess ?' returned the youth. 4 I might guess many things, my son." And yet but one of them would be right. I have said that I left no relative behind me when 1 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, lantlie, Yes, father. Is she alive V She is.' 4 And well V She is well !' And,' pursued the youth, in a more eager tone, is she still free V Why ? Have you thought that she would remember you in love through the years that have passed V 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 followed. 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 V You may warn me of danger, if you will, but do not seek to plaCe the barrier of fear between me and 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 a 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 be tween yourself and lanthe V 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. 4 My father,' answered Alaric, with a flushing cheek, 'I could almost feel offend ed did I think you doubted me, but I do not think so. Show me that lanthe loves me, and not even Pyrrho himself, with the blood-stained crown of Sicily upon his brow, shall have power to startle me from my course, while life is mine.' Artabanus started to his feet and grasped the youth by the hand. 4 Noble Marie,' he cried, with a joyful enthusiasm, ' thou art worthy of the mai den's hand. She does love thee—she cher ishes thy memory within her heart as the most precious thing of earth t and for long "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WEIBRI. LABOR OOMMANDS THIC GREATEST REWARD." • LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1858. years she has lived upon the hope that thou wouldst return to her.' o—tbe gods be praised !' ejaculated the young man. But,' added the hermit in a changed voice, there must be danger in thy path. Pyrrho holds his throne only through the fear and enslavement of the people, and he knows it. Your father was one of his bitterest enemies, and he was also one of the first whom the usurper found it neces sary to put out of the way. You are not only the very image of your noble parent, but you must remember that you had ar rived almost at the full stature of manhood when you fled from Syracuse. You were then seventeen, and from seventeen to five and-twenty, especially in one so early de veloped 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, anewhen you have found all right in that quarter, we will consider fur ther.' I shall find her with her father 7' ' Yes—and his house is just where it was eight years ago.' I will go seek her, then, and—' Hold, my son. You had better wait till nightfall ere you enter the city, and also exchange that Greek shirt for a gar ment less likely to attract attention, for I assure you that too much care cannot be taken.' Alario was impatient to see lanthe, but he saw the force of the hermit's reasoning, and he was willing to wait. So be sat down by his old teacher's side again—sat as be had sat years before, when receiving instructions from the same lips--and lis tened to the story of the wrongs that had been done Sicily during the last eight years. Hour after hour passed away, and Artabanus had still more to tell of the tyrant's cruelty. Merciful heavens !' cried the youth, fired almost to phrenzy by the recital, 'how have the people borne all this 1' They have borne it under 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 Syracuse !' pronounced the old man solemn- ly. Alaric started as he met the glance of his aged companion, for there was a mean ing 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. Ile arose and walked out upon the mountain, and ever and anon, as his eye rested upon the dis tant 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 propor tions, that he dared not handle it with reason. After a while Artabanus came out and touched him upon the shouder. 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. •Glycon is my friend, and may be trusted 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 G-lycon 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 advi sable, 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 leggins 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 he could easily conceal his short sword.— After this the hermit accompanied him to the southern shore of the bay, and there stopped. We had better not be seen together beyond this point,' said the old man. 'From here 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 cautions, 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 Alario kept on. The shades of night were gathering over the city as the youth passed in at the broad gateway, and the guard had already lighted their torches. He had gone a few steps when a rough voice commanded him to stop. Didn't you promise me a fish for my dinner, thou lying knave V the voice continued. You have mistaken your man,' said Alaric, hiding his face as much as possible without seeming desirous so to do. Good Bacchus, so I have. Thou'rt not :Nestor.' No,' returned our hero ; and as he spoke he kept on. That's a strange face,' said one of the soldiers. , And, I thought, a fair one,' added another How now?' asked a third. Has a stranger passed?' 4 Yes—a fisherman.' ''Tis said that a Greek vessel was upon the coast this morning, and we should know whom she landed 1' 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 select ing the various avenues he needed to follow, but he was not wholly. easy. He had reason to believe that he was followed. He took several winding passages for the purpose of avoiding pursuers, but be could not get rid of the echoing foot-fall that sounded upon the pavement behind him. It slackened when he slackened—it stopped when he stopped—and when he hurried on the echo hurried after him. , CHAPTER 11. lANTHE-AN ALARM. Within a comfortably furnished apart ment of an humble abode, near the west ern 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 dint of toil still clinging to him.

I know there is danger in the way, but I fear it not.' [TO BE CONTINUED IN OUB NEXT.] AIITIMM. The sere and yellow leaves are falling, and the ground is covered with these scat tered emblems of decay, save when borne upon the chilly breeze they pass with a rustling sound, and make weird music to the listener's ear, emblematic of our faded hopes and withered aspirations; elemental proofs of the changing seasons as they come and go, spring time and summer, seed time and harvest, the rustling of another leaf in the great and wondrous book of life. Yet how fleeting and unnoticed by the mass of mankind are these changes of season. Absorbed in his own particular world of business or of pleasure, man is abstracted from the changing aspects of all around him. A waif upon the stream of time, buffeted by its billows, or smoothly gliding along, voyaging prosperously, he is unobservant of the "fading leaf " until evident changes, mental and physical, ad monish him that autumnal shadows are clouding the firmament of existence. The prime of life, the epoch of matured wisdom, the garnered sheaves of experience are but the prelude to its sunset—the valley of the dark shadow is before us. We are upon the threshold of that unfathomable and dread mystery, the only certainty amid life's uncertainties—its extinction. Nature -BUOILLNAN CARDS. - 1 - 30 E RI OVAL.--WILLIAM S.
