HENRY MALCOLM,
Or, THE ' ADVENTURE.
ft was a beautiful day in Autumn, and the de
clining sun was brightly tinging with gorgeous
hues the mingled foliage of the wild and glorious
forest trees around, as a young man was seen for
cing his horse up rather a steep ascentin an tin ,
frequented road which 'crosses ono of our West:
ern States. He had journeyed the whole day and
with the exception of one 'cleanng' had seen no
sign, of: habitation, from the hour when he had
left his. night quarters and exchanged a hearty
grasp - with his rough host, until the period at
whigh - Afe first notice him. He was about twenty
Iwo:ietits•of age, and lig figure although above
the litie'dium height was muscular and active.—
There was intellect in his dark tholghtful eye,
and a spirit of resolute determination in his ner- -
vously formed upper lip, that bespoke him clknapt
and fearless. He was humming carelessly a fash
ionable Eastern tune, and varied expressions were
chaaiiig each other across his countenance, when
a Abort turn in the road drought him upon the
broil of the hill, and he checked his steed in ad
miration and wonder. The beauty of a Western
sunset lay spreadout beneath him—the sea of for
est trees which stretched for miles below, reflect
ing from their tops the light of departing day—
the wide and level ,praiie in the distance, which
lay as if wooing to its bed the burnished orb that
was fast sinking towards it, and the frowning
rocks and towering. hills, which were thrown up
behind the gazer, all•gave a. ) wild and beautiful
combination of scenery that only one sporin the
Unitid States can produce.
The traveller, we say, paused—his soul was
- ..iorvl of the scene, and his feelings,

expression 'Beauty` and pow.

d every where—thy glorious
ice is continually by me, shout
roofs of my owp insignificance,
iecome a child, and the fierce
has been quelled in his senile
of nothingness. I have laughed at thy design,`
have scorned at thy existence, and have called thee
tradition„ : euprotttion and infaluelion, but thy
eternal voice is ever ready, as in this, to check the
reckless presumption and say to me, fool! Dear
Mary ! would to Heaven she could witness this,
and hear my canfeesion, but ah no! my propd
spirit has estranged me from her, add I feel a con
viction that we shall always renfaM apart It is
hard, hard to believe , thns but it cannot be other
wise. Wbat! scorn—contemptunits scorn from
one whom I had fairly worshiped-4a flashing eye
and a frowning brow, joined to unjust and humil
iating words from her I had idolized 1 out upon
it! I were worse than woman to bear it

convince her of the injustice she has done me.—
It seems as if I amlorn:fos.strunge adventures—

correspondent,•and shall in all prObability have
full cause to repent my folly. But let me again
see this missive—the road thus faultas correspon.
ded with this chart, and the spot! would answer
to the description of the rendexviitts.
As oar traveller spoke he drew from his breast
pocket a plain looking letter which he unfolded
and perused attentively. Whilst examining it
his countenance lit up with a bright glow of sat
isfaction. 'The description peciaely' said he.
orhis can be no other than the place herein men.

ting is delicate and, feminine—the locality exaet

Well, as r have chased this phantom so far, I will
e"eh gtay acid watch its exit—Ha! what's that! ;
the signal by Jove!' and as he spoke the quick
report of a pistol echoed around him ; followings
ihefirst impulse he drew his ow frorn the hols
ter and was about discharging it, • aathen a sudden
thought struck him and he retained it in his hand
cocked and ready. 'This maibet a ruse,' solilo
quized he, 'for the purpose of rehdering me de
fenceless,' and raising a small whistle to hie lips,
he blew a shrill blast, and waited calmly for the
result. Nor was ho detained longHa scrambling

This was enough for Malcolm, estranger argu
ment could not have been used towards him.—
He returned his pistol to his holster, dismounted
and threw the =reins into thes*andirotilie. black,
who immediately led the. mamal off, through a
scarcely perceptible path, don the, declivity and
soon disappeared. Malcolm buttoned up his sue
tout to his chin, for the evening air was becoming
chill, and paced up and &inn the narrow real
musing impatiently upon the strange situation in
which he found himself. in About fifteen minutes
the black returned, and, beckoning our friend to
follow him, passed on down the same path through
which be had led the horse. They entTted a rav
ine at the foot of the hill, when the negro led the
way along a !billow water course, which rippled,
down through the raged defile, until he reached
the precipitous side of a mountain, down which,
over high rocks, and among jangled brushwood,
the little streamlet leaped and played.' ere the
ascent became extremely arduous. Nana b elt an
Indian would have discover] that foot of ' n had
ever trodden there; the guide threaded his way as
if it was do old familiar path, an I Henry follow.
ed very laboriously,. for in the dint twilight he
could scarcely discern obstacles. ,After having
toiled on fur ebeut an hour, the negro suddenly
paused upon "a \ hroad ledge of rock. and, pressing
with hiti foot al .thiiham of a huge inisharn
, •
mass, it swung heavily o utward aud.disclosed a
dark looking hole beyond, int o which the guide
entered. Henry rio longer hesitated ; but seizing
the hand which was extended to him, followed
him into the passage. , The rock swayed into its
former position 'after
, - they had entered ; amll all'
was gloom and blackness. The cave in which
they Stood was even and smooth as a marble floor.,
At the extreme end of it, whieh Was apparently
a great distance eff, Malcolm could i -perceive i
faint glimmering light which grew More distinct
as they approached. Not a word hail been spa.
ken by either the guide or himself from the time
the fernier had returned, after securing the horse;
and as the danger of hissituatiori, joined to the
probability of an intended decoy, broke upon him,
hia hand involuntarily clutched the dagger in his
breast, and he inwardly resolved to make a sacri
fice of his companioo,ehould the slightest demon
ldration lead him to suppose his opinion correct.
ie was not long left in suspicion, however, for at
that instant a door at the further end of the galle
ry was thrown open,sedu flood of dazzling blind.
ing light filledahe cave, illuminating the gallery
to its utmost extremity. The negro, evidently
pleased withthe surprise and astonishment which
was depicted 'as our hero's countenance, now pres.
aed forward to the entrance of the lighted apart.
mciit, and with a low bow andAourisli worthy
the roost accomplished usher to a Parisian saloon
announced the presence of .Mr. Henry Malcolm.'
Malcolm entered, and lie 'view which met his
gaze was but little calculated to allay the wonder
and marvelling into which ho had heed thrown.
The apartment was furnished and decorated in
the richest and most gorgeous manner—Mirrors,
lounges, and expensive drapery were in rich, pro.
fusion on all sides. His attention however was
attracted immediately to the iranates,and he stood
in the entrance hesitating and bewildered. like
one entranced. At the extremity of the room,
on a low couch, lying upon his Back, and propped
up by pillows was an old man who had probably
numbered seventy summers.,Jlis lace, which
wore a mild and resigned expression, - was pale
and attenuated and his beard, which was white as
snow, hung down upon his breast-at great length.
By the side of the couch, holding in her hand a
small-goblet containing some restorative. stood
one of the mart beautiful creatures Malcolm's eyes
ever rested upon. She could not have bevel more
than seventeen, and yet there was an ease and
dignity in her motions, that would have stamped
her anything but a girl. She was slightly shove
the middle height in woman, and was as graceful
as a fawn. Her eyes, which were' turned with a
searching and earnest expeepion upon Malcolm,
were dark and pathetii, yet full of ore—her feat
ures were exquisitely eautiful'and purely Italian,
and as she bent her goad in recognition of the
low obeisance of a ctranger, the rich blood moue.
ted to her neck and face. and the next minute left
it pale and calm; she first broke the silence—
'We thank you Mr. Malcolm fin the prompt
and unhesitating manner in which you have coin
plied with my uncle's request. He is ill, velVtl.'

Henry Malcolm boned and was silent. There
was a mystery here which his active but now ttin
fused brain could not attempt to solve; arid with
bewildered senses he threw himself upon a safe,
to await anziottsly the revival of the sufferer.
There was something inexpressible aweet and sad
in the voice of the lady, and there was also in het
manner a self possession stud dignity of manner
rarely, if ever, surpassedin courts. All this when
coupled with the strangeness of the mandate—the
wildness of the situation, and the luxury which
was appareht around him, madeit absolutely won
derful. At length the voice of the invalid die
turbed his reverie.

was in November, one year from now.that an old
man, with a tamale closely veiled. accompanying
him, went on board of :a steamboat at Pittabtrigh,
intending.to journey in thet way to the mouth of
the near. A poor woman who had taken
pinup for Cineinnatti, by some accident lost the
little money she had whilst on board of the iresin
boat, and when the officer came around among
the passengers to receive the fare, the poor crea
ture, with tears in her eyes, told her misfortune
and protested her inability to pay. ° Her story, was
scouted at, and she was charged with an , attempt
to swindle. At this moment, a young man step
ped forward to the Captain sod sternly demanded
the price of the passage-he arias
_informed of it,
end immediately paid it, at the same time ordering
.the officerf to desist from his unmanly abuse. The
old man, interested, in this scene, drew near quiet
ly and watebed its progress. He was leaning in-
SWIM ly against a loose railing, when It gave way
ind precipitated him
_into the river. As he row
to the surface, a strong arm was thrown around
him, and be was supported in that way until a
boat was lowered to take him up.. His , preserver
was the same young man whose noble behaviour, ,
on the deck of the steamboat had warmed his
heart—that old man , now lies bifore you, as all
that remains of .Marluel Pions, and his rescuer
was Henry Malcolm. You left the , steamboat
hurriedly at Cincinnatti, fearful I suppose of be..

I have never forgotten you lift that Jay to this,
nor - have I lost iight of your actions!' '
Manuel Fiona githered strength as he .pro
ceeded and notwithstanding the solteititions of
both-Viols-and Malcolm; continued—
• tiai'm seat for you before I die to repay in
part the obligorions I am unaey you. lam very
wealthy--my residence in this place is a freak, the
cause of whickyoo shall know hereafter. At pre
sent suffice it to say that I own the',l mil hero as
. far as the eye., can extend, and have chosen this
spot as most quiet and refired,and as one in which
I have been able to pursußny meditations and stu
dies undisturbed."
The old man continued speaking until he 'Was
checked by excessive weakness from proreedmg.
He related to Malcolm the whole of Viola's histo.
ry. She was the daughter of hie., biother, who
- was a renegade from the Jewish faith, and who
bad married her mother in Italy. He also avow
ed his intention to leave the mass of his property
to Malcolm in trust far her, after having decorated
from' it princely legacy for the former. And
when Malcolm pleaded his own youth in bar of
such a resolve, Manuel grew warmer and more ob
stinate in his determination. Ha said he was the
Ludy man in the country whom he would trust
with the responsibility And in absolute terror of his
refusal, begged him with tears in his eyes to com
ply with the last wish of a tying man. His en
treaties were so earnest that Malcolm at last yield
ealeand consented to comey with anything he de
sired.
Old Manuel F.oria lingered on. hovering be.
tween lite and death, for a fortnight; during the
whole of which time he was watched and careful
ly attended by both Malcolm and Victim. They
had become very intimate, and he had discovered
from occasional glimpses at her mind, that she
was possessed of rare and surpassing intelligence.
Yet notwithstanding all this, there was such a
yielding diffidence - , and a child-like respect for all
his otvn opinions and prejudices, that he found
himself unwittingly occupying the sly:Rion of a

' Love and ltlwonesss i l
—As the pastor and myself were returning
from the sea-shore, where we had been to witness
the deperture of an emigrant vessel, our-attention
was withdrawn frotil the incidental noise and bus
tle by the sad and depressed appearance, of a man,
who had been viewing the elq with a epy-glass,
and was now slowly wending his way towards a
small but very handsome house. He was evident
ly a sailor, and apparently ,in the meridian of life;
but a deep sorrow, which !spelt() iii every feature
of his face, bad antkipated,the work of time upon
his whitened locks.' (The history orthat unhappy
man,. observed the pastor with a sigU, 'is sad
enough, and. somewhat: romantic.'
Adam Wilsda was one schbol ; he had a mind
upon which the common miafortunes of life made
no impression—but which, once deeply wounded,
must be inevitably overthrown. Lite meat of the
youths upon the coast, as anon as ho was old
enough, he sought dangei end fortune upon the
ocean, and it was not long before he became the
first mete of a ship tailing to Holland. In one
of hie voyages to -the northern provinces of that
couii:y. he bocamo attached to the daughter of a
wealthy navigator, sebum) rich do vry was the least
of beemei its in her loier's estimation. -Her father
thought diff4m,lY ;-yet, not willing to thwart hie
daughter's inclinaiiorfa,' - ihe promised his consent
to the desired union iii'stion. as-'.be young man
should squire a certain amount of money, which
he considered a:suitable equivalent! for the dowry
he intended.to bestow upon his daughter.
• Animated by a pafai• n that swayed , his whole
being, Wilson engaged a lucrative sauationi ou
board of an East Indiaman, and neither he nor his
betrothed far a. monii.mt doubted. that one single
voyage in the View Margaretai would place Lim
in a condition to
„claim herliand. *ln one year,
Anna, with divine( permis:Sion, I will be with you
again,' said he at patting. (Yes; answered Anna,
"my heart as(ures meld Your return.' •
He did indeed relOsts at the appointed time,
west.hy be> end his own anticipations, or his
.lather-in-law's rriparements. The richly laden
ship lay becalmed near that beloved coast of whose
inhabitants he had received no tidings for more
than a year. Adam's impatience arid, so great
and alipartnt, that the phlegmatic Hollander, wi)!
c 'remanded the ship, granted, him a boat and two
oarsmen to enable him to proceed to B— and
visit;the object of his aff.ctiuris. As Adam and
his companions approached the land, they were
stru.,:k with an astonishing change in its appear
ance.- Their eyes vainly wandered over the level
pfain, in search of the well-remembered windmill;
the Ught-hooso had disappeared, and the water
seemed to stretch inland far beyond its former
boundary. At length, not rightly:knowing where,
'they reached the shore, but catching a distant view
of the spire of the church of they ag a in
tteitook themselves to their boat and rowed directly
towards it.
Alas, who can imagine the feeling" -of the
youth when he discovered that the rich meadows,
the plemant gardens, the neat dwelling', and the
fruitful orchards, had ufl disappeared, and that the
place formerly-occupied by the fair village bad be.
come changed into a desolate waste of water !
Eagerly did Adam look fir the itrell-reinecebeeed
cottage, thinking within himself that the dwelling
of his beloved must /lave been spared in the getter..
al destruction ; but he looked in vain, and at
length became convinced that further search would
be tastiest'.
'Take me hence,' said he in broken accents to
his scomPanions, uhia is no place for me.'—He af
terwards beard it related how the raging sea had
broken through dykes, sweeping every thing
before it, overwhelthing hundred of men, women
and children. His grief overpowered his reason, •
and some months of , mental oblivion followed; but
consciousness at length awoke in his benumbed
soul, skid he came, a want....i skeleton as you see
him now, silently and sadly back to his early home.
Hem he Avoided • all society, and only to rue
confided, not indeed his sorrow—for that remain
ed locked to his own bosom—but his plan. He
brought me a drawing of the former residence of
his betrothed, which faithful memory had enabled
him to sketch, and With great earnestness begged
of me to assist him iii vetting a similar dwelling.
The oversight of the! wi n k, b e a dd e d w ith a s i g h,

.fot,' he confidentially whispered in my ear, -it is
for Anne you know that bee house is destroy
ml, and I have promised to build her another like
it. When it is finished she will cows here and
occupy at with rue.' Looking at the pale. face and
wandering eye of the poorsuffarer,l thought With•
in myself; t will be a deed of humanity t.t encour
age him in this delusive hope ; and consequently
I entered into biti'eiervve with a Z2al which so in
secured his confidence. .
I took care that the work should advance as
slowly as possibleonid accordingly the first sum

out a garden in *Web tulips, and other costly flow

his betrothed, bloorned in the greatest perfection
