Medeline continued standing at the tat le. She
appeared anxious an I thoughtful; the lighli• as she
moved aside, fell upon her fawn, and the cheek and
tip ivtklt so lately showed the flush of health, were
stets' wan and colorless. Purcell's heart throbbed
painfully. There else stood—the being whoa he
prized above all earthly 'things There she stood'
unconscious of impenditig danger. Could belittle;
that petit WAR so near, nor warn her of the coming

threw the sash open, and Purcell, sprang into the

Both were fur a- moment silent, till
bursting, into tears, exclaimed—" Is this honorable!
—is this generous?
" Madeline," said the student, in deep emotion,

The student raised her gently, II Madeline," he
said in a voice of pregnant agony, " if life would

But Madeline again was at his feet. " Purcell,

"Stop, Madeline, stop ! I will be any thing for

" Made:in-4," exclaimed :he !talent; o I am

Love succeeded over duty : Purcell seized a pen,

this bosom convulsively, and as be pressed her lips,
he muttered--" He is safe; but I am lost!" Then
leaping through the window, to3k his station where
the false'domestic had posted him, artier the ev

done fur thee. I have won thee, but fearful was
'the price thou cost me.!'
. • His solilogi4 was juterrupted, and the betrayer
stood beside him.,
" You are wailing," he said lit a low whisper ;
all's right-; Lord Ed ward, or, as they call him here,
M. de Chattelin has retired to his sieeping"room:—

on the bed ; he will be asleep directly : ' move the

—Pima summoned his campanions, end without
noise they were posted in the appointed place, and
Phillipi was not long absent.

In breathless silence the party were conducted,
'through the &all ; they ascended the stairs. Point•

tamed easily—" Be sudden, boys!" next moment
the door flew open. Ididdleunr „and his compan

and tw•o dark lanterns were unclosed; iheibed was

" Hell and furies !” esclaimed the leader—L.
" more light <earch every spot, my lails; see the
bed coverings are tossed ; some one was lately here
and our man is not far off." The chamber was
esarnined ; i 1 bore, indeed. evident aigna of being
tint lately deseried ; but of Gird Edward there was
no trace wha'eser, although a silk night cap was
on the - piliora, and a dressing gown of foreign lash ?
ion proved that the chamber had bet n his.
The inlarrter was rodonisherl. A quarter of an
hour had scaiee elapsed since he lighted the rebel
chief In this apartment ; he saw him close the
door every spot, every artiele of furniture was
minutely examined. Lord Edward was gone!
The party were bewildered, when the march of
a nitliraiy body was heard without, and the order
to " Milt, and esiend to the right and lett," proved
that they were the expecte] soldiery. Immedi•
ately the commanding officer entered, and deman•
tied, " where is the prisoner ,?"
'• The prisoner V'
" Yes; is he not. in custody ?"
" In custody r

" Pris true, Colonel."
" The man whom you sent to bring up the de

" We sent no man t"
" What! sent no one? then there is treachery al

your assistance."
" And did you let him pass?"
"Fndoubtedly ! he bad both parole and coun
tersign."
Describe him."
" Low sized, dark clothes, gentlemanly addresa..)
" Lord Edward, by Heaven ! Thew is a traitor
amongst us; but let us lose no time, and we may
yPt trace him."
)nstantly the house was abandoned; but rapidly
as the pursuit was made it was enavailing. The
pickets and sentries were closely questionerl;but
no one answering the description given of the rebel
chief' had passed them. Deeply chagrined at their
failure, the, military retired to their barracks, and
Purcell and his companions to the university. ,
A note from Madeline next day requested, that,
to avoid suspicion, the student's visits for a time,
should cease, and prudence induced him toaccede
to the wish expressed in the letter. Two days
passed; early on the third morning a message from
Madeline came; on the preceding night Lord Ed.
ward had been arrested, and Downing's house and
property set on fireby the military and entirely
consumed.
He found her at art obscure hotel, and there
learned the particulars of Lord Edward's capture.
He had been taken at a leather dealer's in Thomas
Street, in which, alter a desperate resistance, the
principal assailant was killed, and the second
wounded beyond a hope of recovery. The rebel
chief received a pistol shot in the struggle, and ex
pired in Newgate a few days after.
Downing's house had been visited a second -time
by the military. In an adjacent timber-yard a large
quantity of pikes were unfortunately discovered;
the premises were instantly fired, and the whole
burned to the gritund.
Madeline was in the deepest distre ; the de
struction of property to an immense amount appear
as a trifling loss compared to the death of her friend
and benefactor. She had narrowly escaped the fu
ry of the excited soli iery ; and a smati box, con
'mining cash and jewels, was with difficulty rescu
ed from the destroyers of her home.
" I am now desolate, truly desolate," she said,
as the student q atrove to comfort her : deser,ed by a
husband, bereaved:of a dear and faithful friend,—
oh whore shill I look for protection'"
" To me, Madeline : you are :mine ; you swore
it, and misfortune unites us; henceforth our desti
shall be the same."
The interview was long and agonizing. Made•
line, at length,-consen teitto leave Irelan,: with her
lover; and that evening, under the assumed ntiZne
of Tennison , they took possession of apartments
at a hotel in Dawson Street.
if ever excuse could be offered for a deliberate
violation of conjugal faith there might be some apol
ogy for Madeline's. She was helpless and deserted
—alone in the world and abandoned%y him whom
the laws of God and man had constituted her pro
tector. She was loved by a being young and ardent
as herself. Under other circumstances she might
have combated the temptation_ that assailed her;
but a • perilous series of calamities beset her ; she
fell—yet poor Madeline, while obnoxious to cen
spre, was nof , undeeerving of pity.
Jack Middleton whensacqusinted with the fatal
step taken by his imprudent friend, was at first over
powered with astonishment and dismay ; but Made-
line's exqutsit beauty won upon his versatile im
magination. He discovered that men were mad
from the earliest times and instanced the cases of
Romeo, Mark Antony and other very excellent
personages, who had all fallen 'kiictims to " the
witchery of wonian." As the act was irrevocable,
Jack urged the student to lose no time in leaving
Ireland. Accordingly Purcell wrote exculpatory
letters to his family, arranged his pecuniary affairs
and havitig procured the necessary passports, pre
pared to leave the city for Belfast, whence be as•
certained that he could obtain a passage to the con-
Travelling, owing to the disturbed state of the
country was necessarily insecure; but Purcell had
little apprehension of the danger. Accompanied
by the beautiful partner, of his flight, he bade adieu
to his faithful companion and 'on the memorable
evening of the 23t1 of May left Dublin in the Belfast
MO.
On that night the iumurection broke out : a si.
multaneous rising was expected to take place in the
kingdom ; and the signal to the remainder of the
disaffected ;to knew when the capital was arms.

There no -passengers that aigki encepting
the student and his mistress. "The latter was nun
sniffy dejected, and Purcell endeavored to 'dissi;
pate ha melancholy: Lean Upon -hosome.
Madeline; it is a faithful one," said the romantic
youth. There, my sweet one; thy image is enshrin
ed. In another land, love and happiness shall be
ours. Courage ; danger Li over ,am I not with
thee 1 and what now can be apprehended I" "
Stop !" cried a hundred voices ; and instantly
the carriage was checked, as the .leaders breasts
came against a strong barrier" which had been laid
across the road. Madeline shrieked as Purcell
threw down the glass, and called on. the driver .°
proceed.
":It is impossible," was the reply ; ' l ;the road is
totally:blocked up."
" Stop !" thundered a voice from the park wall.
" Surrender ! or every soul shall perish."
Purcell, brave as a lion, leaped from the coach,
and rushed forward to remove the ohstruction , the
dragoons discharged their carbines, and the guards
fired on the assailants. Instantly a stream of mus
ketry was returned from behind the wall. From
the opposite ditch, the barrier, before, behind, shots
were heard. The dragoons fell; the guards were
disabled; stilt Purcell, regardless of the heavy fire
that blazed arc wad him, labored with desperate in
trepedity. ° A portion of the ban icade gave way;
he was calling to the guards to be steady, when his
eyes turning upon the carriage, he saw Madeline in
the act of sprir ging out ; that moment she , gave a
piercir t ' , shriek—" lom murdered I" she feebly tit:
tered and fell dead upon the road.
With a thrilling cry, Purcell bounded to the spot;
he raised her in his arms-; she was dead ! the ball
hail passed through the heart. Next moment a
blow from behind felled hied to the earth, and laid
him beside that beautiful being who but just now
had been all lice and bareness.
Five weeks clasped before Purcell's memory re
turned. He awoke as if from a fearful dream. He
found himself surrounded by"'his family ; and his
f tithful friend, Middleton, had seldom left his side.
His recovery was long doubtful ; and when able to
bear a journey, he was ordered to leave Ireland, t"
try the milder influence of a southern clime'e. He
went ; but never returned I Yearly Jack Middleton
received a letter from him ; and he soon after men
d. ned that he had assumed another name, and join
ed the army of the-Rhine.
By deuces, Purcell's story faded from the rec
collection of the world and it was generally stated
that he died broken-hearted and in obscurity. None
save one, knew that the Count de Florival, the
the favorite 4id-de-carnp of Napoleon. a grand cross
of the Legion-of Honor, and colonel of the cavalry
of the Guard, was the unhappy lover of Madeline
Downing.
