A slight breeze had indeed.sprung up, but too languid to raise the heads of the drooping flowers, it only whispered to them, perchance in praise of their luxurious grace, find then died again into stillness. There was but one moving figure to be seen and it ill accorded with the desolate character of the landscape, for Lucille, the Quadrocn girl, was very beautiful and clad in the : brilliant hues which 'so well became her ; seemed to tread the lonely path by the light of her own loveliness. It was indeed a dreary scene, for she was approaching one of those extinct volcanoes with which the island of Martinque abounds and the rugged ground was seated and dark ened by the hot breath which had passed ovdr it. Ikre and there the masses of gray stone were covered with the exuberant vegetation of that glowing climate, but for the most part all was bare and black, as though some ancient curse rested upon the spot, and chilled the gen erous hand of nature. • Lucille seemed little to heed the scene ; her largo eyes, dark as night, and. swimming in liquid lustre, were sadly gazing earthward, and her small head set so proudly on the column like throat, was bent dejectedly. Occasionally she raised it to reconnoitre, and at•last a gleam of pleasure and recognition shot across her face. A stranger would never have dreamed of human habitation in that wild spot, but Lucille's eyes sought out a dark hollow in the rock, and already distinguished within it the stooping form of an aged woman. As she ap proached, her steps quickened, and at kit, seemingly in unconquerable impatience, she darted forward into the cavern. " What, Lucille ! and hest thou come at last " said the old woman, " and will naught but sorrow ever bring thee to my side ? Nay, deny it not, there are tears in thy heart, hanging like thunder•rain in the heavens ; and see, the first touch of my hand has brought the torrent down !" IT-tf It was true, Lucille had flung herself to the A IVAMILI MITSI2.I---112321A2.1 lITI Toy 111 IMEMEIM ALLENTOWN, PA. ; AUGUST 15, 1855. ground in an agony of tears, the violence of her sobs shaking down her hair into a wilder ness of darkness round her polished shoulders. Very soon, however, 'like the storm drops to which the old crone had compared them, the large tears ceased to flow, and she looked up. Mother, you are right," she said ; " wheth er by the love you bear me, I know not ; but, you read - Clearly ns ever the secret of my heart. and I dare not, if I would, deny it."• Gabriel hits deserted thee." " It is so, mother : but oh ! tell me at Icast that his heart is still my own—that he has striven to free it, but cannot." • " Lucille, enlist thou bear it ? I can tel thce Somewhat." " Oh! mother, there is nothing I could not bear if only he loves me still—did I not tell you long shim when first I bent over him in that wild fever, that I could die content, nay that I could live and see his face no more, if but once I heard him say that he loved me?" • " And thou had'st that wish ?" " Ycs ! dear mother, you foretold that I should live to hear those precious words, and I did." " No great wisdom was needed for that prophecy, child," rejoined the other with a fondness of tone that came strangely from her thin, withered lips. " Even now, I marvel as I see. that he could ever gaze enough on those eyes of thine." " Hush ! mothei, hash !" said Lucille, im patiently snatching away a silken lock which the old woman was smoothing over her fingers : yon said you had somewhat to tell me con ceal it not; if it concern him or his." Thine own fears have sufficiently fore warned thee, my child." The girl hid her face in her loosened hair. " He will marry !" she whispered at last as if afaid to give voice to the words. " But mother may he not love me still? Oh! the white woman's eyes may be blue as our sum mer heavens, but will she love him as I have done ? will her pale cheek burn as mine at the sound of his footsteps ? will she toil for him through the heat of noon, and watch through the silence of night?" Lucille raised not her head, and her companion, in compassion as it seemed, broke the pause. " My child, he may love thee yet." "" Oh ! thanks, mother, thanks, your words are ever true—now will I cast oft the selfish. ness of this sorrow, and, if only he will some times say that he loves Inc still, be happy as of 0111." Whe sprang lightly to lice feet and began In wind lier scattered hair around her beautiful head. Lucille, what of thy child ? he is won't so to fill thy talk, and to-day thou last told me nothing of him' There was alas ! no shadow of shame on the young On; 'cheek, as she answered " •. well mother, and fairer than ever you so at my skin bears scarcely a trace of the swarthy hue of our people, but his—oh ! it is purer than moonlight, our darkness has all fled to his eyes. I would that. they had been blue, but he has at least his father's rosy mouth and clustering golden hair. Did I tell you motli cr, 'that when last Gabriel saw him, he wept ?" " Thou didst not, child. lam glad for thy sake that the babe is so fair, perchance yet he may save thee, or even if Gabriel marry this Madelaine de Bcaucour, who is . doome'd by sonic fate or other to cross thy path in life, even ht:r heart maybe touched by the beauty of this child, and knowing the Wrongs of our race she may stoop to save him from poverty and labor and set him amongst his father's people. Thou Wouldst be a happy mother, then Lucille !" " I know not that I could take aught from her hand,'! answered the girl proudly, looking unconsciously so, majestic in her queenlike beauty, that her companion wondered. for the hundredth time how Gabriel 'Delacroii, even with his pride of descent and worldly ambition, could resist its influence. A moment's thought, however, and she sigh ed deeply. What availed the charm of that mien, or the warmth of that heart ? flit a European ever wed with one of her despised race ? and was not Madeleine de Beaucour, whose name rumor had united with that cf Gabriel a daughter of the wealthiest family of all their wealthy oppressors • , Lucille at that moment, was saddened by no such sorrowful reflections, her elastic nature had already thrown off for the time the burden of her. grief. Of her proverty she thought little ; a• flower-maker by trade, she could always earn a sufficiency by the exercise of her graceful art, either amongst the luxurious ladies of the island, or by exporting•her handiwork to Paris, To ber position, sanctioned, alas ! by custom amongst our race, there attached little idea of disgrace, and could she have hoped to retain something of her lover's affection, and to bring uP her child in greater ease and refine ment than she' had known herself, she might yet have been happy. • " Mother," she said, after a pause, " it would relieve my heart to look upon the beauty of this white woman, Madeleine. I knew her father's chateau well, I will take the boy in my arms, and if she is alone, I will even speak to her, and hear the voice that has charmed my Gabriel. She cannot see the child unmoved. for he is fairer than the fairest babe ever cradled beneath their rich roots." " Do as thou wilt, my Lucille," replied the old crone, fondly, " and," she added with a bitterness that seemed far better to accord with her harsh features, "e unto her and hers, if she show thee aught of the over Weening pride of her people." CIIArTIFAI II Tt was a bright, burning day, with scarcely a breath of air stirring, even through the cool jealousies of the Chateau de Beancour. The fair Madelaine lay languidly on the soft, the delicacy of her transparent skin enhances] by the soft white drapery and rich lace in which she was robed. The room was partially dark ened, and on one side knelt a servant, who gent ly agitated a large fan of eastern workmanship. while, on the other, a young girl, who served as companion to the heiress was reading to her the last French novel. Within the shrubbery, and riot many paces from the house, poor Lucille had lain, crouch ing in the stifling heat, for many hours ; anx iety to accomplish her object, and the fear of de tection, having induced her to take up her sta tion much earlier than was necessary. The excessive heat, and want of nourish ment, had made her very faint, though the child, whom she had fed and rockeeto sleep in her arms, lay still and peaceful as a waxen hp . - age of infancy. She had dressed herself with unusual care, and bore in a light basket on her arm, some of the choicest specimens of her skill— delicate, night-blossoming buds, and gorgeous tropical buds, imitated with wonderful accuracy and grace. At length her child awoke and she began to fear from his restlessness that she should be ob liged, for that day at least, to give up her plan. when from the lofty door of chateau, Madelaine de Beaucour, attended by a lady and gentleman entered the grounds. Lucille's eye's dilated, and Ler bosom heaved : but no ! it was he, she saw at a glance, and her gaze was again rivi ted on the lady. Something like disdain flash ed across her beautiful face as she looked, and then nolo . ' into an expression of relief and con gratulation truth to tell : the lady with all the adjuncts of wealth and luxury around her, could not bear a 1110111011 CA comparison with the dark eyed Quadroon, and Lucille felt this instinc tively. Awhile she paused irresolute, then caressing her child, slowly advanced, with her stalely tread, to where Madelaine had sealed herself, but her tongue failed 'her, and, she could only silently display her gracefully fashioned flowers. The lady looked on coldly, and made no an swer to her companion's warm comments on the rare beauty of the mother and child.— Her gaze was directed to the proffered flower basket, and after turning over its contents with a careless hand glanced at the Quadroon. " Your own work I suppose ? silt ! I would have purchased some, for they are really well done, but you have nothing all white, I see, and these gaudy colors hardly suit my com plexion." " Strange, is it not ?" she continued, turn-. ing languidly to her companion," that the ab sence of refinement in these people,, should be so perceptible even in their dress—they all pre fer those glaring colors." " Nay," he answered quieltly 4 but with as little care to subdue his tone as she had dis played, " if they have all the gorgeous beauty of this splendid creature, they should wear no other hues." Lucille stood motionless. only her curling lip betraying that she was conscious of their words —" Would the white magnolia or the silver lotus, please the lady Madelaine ?" she asked in her soft, rilh voice ? " Yes ; either si do," replied the lady. "You may make me a wreath of the white magnolia, I think, and bring it here by next week—not later," she added, with half a smile, and waiving her hand in token of dismissal. But the young girl by her side had started up= "Oh ! Madelaine,—the child, have you noticed it ? I never saw anything half so lovely ! What magnificent eyes ! May I not hold him a moment ?" she continued, with a pretty beseeching look at Lucille, and already taking one tiny hand in hers. The mother's face softened, though she held the boy yet closer to her bosom. " Therese, Therese, of what arc you dream ing ?" exclaimed Madelaine angrily, rising from her seat. " I forbid you to' touch the child ; every other girl, of common modesty, shrinks from these low-born creatures, and the off spring of their depravity ;" and she swept haughtily' into the chateau with her compan ions, the abashed girl giving depreciating glances at Lucille. NUMBER 45 'The Quadroon followed Madelaine's retreat ing steps with a look of fiery disdain, and long after the party had disappeared, still she stood, transfixed to the spot, every muscle quivering with suppressed anger. Her boy's soft, fingers, wandering in wonder over her averted face, re called her thoughts, and she turned away with a step of yet statelier pride than the lady. Through the night, and the next, and again the next, two women sat together in the cav • ern of the gray rock. Of naught pure and holy was their talk, for as the hours sped by, the beautiful face of the younger woman was leans formed to something like the bitterness and cruel rage of the elder. Iler occupation accord ed little with the expression of her features, for she was skilfully fashioning into all but living beauty. the snowy flowers and swelling buds of the white magnolia. " Are you sure that it cannot fail, mother ?" shB whispered, after a long pause. "As sure as that sun will rise to-mor row !" " But you have not tried it," she added hur riedly with a creeping shudder. For all answer the old crone tottered across the room, and uplifting the folds of a bright hued shawl, which lay upon the floor, displayed the motionless form of a small mountain goat. It seemed to have laid down and died there with out a struggle—so peaceful was its attitude.— The gill shuddered violently as her companion dragged the body across the cave, and precipi tated it over the hill side. " No son shall she live to bear him," mut tered the old woman fiercely, as she took the wreath from the girl's hand ; then drawing a vial from her bosom, she poured into each open cup and half-closed bud, a few drops of clear white liquid. The following day was one of rare festivity at the Chateau de Ileaucour. A grand fete, at which the heiress, in her bridal array, was to appear for the last time as Madelaine de Beau cour, had been planned ; for the next morning was to see her the bride of Gabriel Delacroix. As she sat in her chamber, robing for the ball, she was told that a Quadroon girl waited with out, asking to see her. " Ah ! my white magmilia wreath," she said gaily, "'twill be more becoming than this tiara of pearls : bring the girl hero, Theresa, quickly. With her.own hands, Lucille placed the clus tering, flowers amid the lady's hair, and then retired. Through the open windows she watch ed the bride elect, treading with him the graceful mazes of the dance, her cheek flushed, her blue eyes sparkling. Still she watched on. and prayed with clenched hands, until . she marked the lady's cheek blanch, and her hand seek her brow with a troubled gestu re. Then she laughed wildly, and sped away from the perfumed air and the brilliant light of that festive scene. Even as she fled, the bride had fallen to the earth, and was borne to her room, silent and motionless. Only when they uncovered her pale bosom, and unloosed her shining hair, her hand, in obe dience to some strange spell, sought the flowers on her brow, and none could remove them. The sun 'rose upon her, a bride indeed : in her bridal array, fair and flower crowned, but cold, voiceless, and still forever. [f:7lYhrit impudent questions are these ? How should an editor know ?

Influence of Marriage. habit and long life together are more neces sary to happiness, and even to love, than is generally imagined. No one is happy vrith-tho object of his attachment, until he has passed many days, above all, many days of misfortune with her. The married pair most know each other to the centre of their souls—the mysteri ous veil which covered the two spouses in the pri mitive must be raised in its inmost folds,: how closely soever it may be kept drawn to the rest of the 'World. What ! on account of a tit of caprice, or burst of passion, am I to be exposed to the fear of toting my wife and my children, and to renounce the hope of passing my declin ing days with them ? Let no one imagine flint fear will make me become a better husband. No! we do not attach ourselves to a possession which we are in danger of losing the soul of a man, as well as his body, is in- . complete without his wife ; he has strength, she has beauty ; he combats the enemy and labors in the field but lie understands nothing of do mestic life ; his companion is waiting to pre pare his repast amid sweeten his existence. Ho has crosses; and the partner of his life is there to soften them ; his days may be sad and trou bled, but in the chaste arms of his wife he finds comfort and repose. Without woman, man would be rude, gross, solitary. Woman spreitds around him the flowers of existence of the creepers of the forests, that decorate the trunks of sturdy oaks with their perfumed gar lands. Finally, the Christian pair live and die united ; together they reap the fruits of their union : in the dust they lay side by side ; and they are united beyond the tomb. ffilGia FORFAIREASIS. The notion that high foreheads, in women as well as men, are indispensable to beauty, came into vogue with phrenology and is going out with the decline of that pretentious end plausi ble " science." Not long ago more than " ono lady" shaved her head to give it an intellectual appearance, and the custom of combing the forehead probably originated in the same mis taken ambition. When it is considered that a great expanse of forehead gives a bold, mascu line look—that from irons (forehead) comes the word " effrontery"— it will not be wondered at the ancient painters, sculptors and poets con sidered a low forehead " a charming thing in woman," and indispensable to female beauty. Horace praises Lycoris for her low forehead, and Martial commends the same grace as deci dedly as he praises the arched eyebrow. Pain ters and sculptors know very well that modesty and gentleness could not be made to consist with tall heads or extremely broad ones; and, accordingly, without a single notable exception, their women r —unless made on purpose to repre sent shrews •and the coarser class of Cyprians have low foreheads. But nature, a higher au thority, has distinguished the fairest of the sex in the same way ; and foolishly perverse are they who would make themselves anew in the hope of improvement. Girls, don't shave tho tops of your foreheads any more, or use " Pou dre Subtle" to destroy the hair. All sharp eyed young sparks can easily detect such " ar tistic" operations of the toilet, and laugh in their sleeve at the causes. That Night and that Man. ''was night ! The stars were shrouded in a veil of mist—the vivid lightnings flashed and shook their fiery tresses in the face of heaven the deep toned thunder rolled across the vaulted sky—the elements were in commotion —the storm spirit howled in the air—the winds vhistled, the hail stones fell like a shower of earls, the large undulations of the- ocean t, she( t ton the rock-bound shores, and cur rents leap d from the mountain tops—in short, it was a night awful beyond imagination Dutch Bill sprang from his couch witi"en geance stamped open his stern brow, murder in his heart, and the instrument of death in his hands.
