Along the passages they tome OW gar

A sense of something moving to and fro.

From graves forgotten stretch their (inky hands,
And hold in mortmoiu atilt their old estates.

Floats like an atmosphere. and everywhere

And the more noble instinct that aspires.

BY WM. IL HATPIN
Anthony Martel was a brave young sol
dier a, ever bore arms on the battle-fiat
Ile mot an almost universal favorite in his
lie loved hitt country and a
regiment
maiden named Cadeline, who was consid
ered the prettiest girl in Visselle, and many
were the hearts which beat witlt love and
joy when the fair Ciottilino turned her bean
titol eyes upon them, an 1 returned their
salutations with a winning smile. There
was tint a brave soldier in the whole regi
ment but would have been prowl to have
shed his last drop Ilfbi , o,l t t rese nt an i n _
stilt to the bright star of Visselle. Many
were they who worshiprid at her shrine,
but only one whose passion was returned,
and he was the gallant Anthony Martel.
The Colonel of the rogimeut to which
lie belonged was a man of violent passions,
insolent awl overhearing in the extreme to
his subordinates,`aud was as universally
detesteil as Martel was beloved. On stiv
iicrid oceasirms he hail made Minimum pro
posals to Cadeline, which she hail resented
with scorn, hut still he became more im
portunate, until, finding himself baffled in
;tII his endeavors, he determined to adopt
a new to de of proceedure, hoping to he
more suceessful in his designs. Accord
ingly he called on Cadelius one evening
when she wits alone, and made an apolo g y
for his firmer rudeness, and asked her for
giveness, which she readily granted, pre
suming that he would trouble her no fur
ther ; but in this she wasdisappoiutcd, fir
he immediately made new otertureSof Inv
to her, promising if she wonldlistfn to his
snit, he would load her with prdients and
t
also make her bis lawful bride. Bu 1 . 91
these flattering inducements bad no e ~, e t
upon her, for she was true to her rat
love.
"Consider, Cadeline," said he,"my rank
and station, 3:1.1 that ynttr psition would
be higher thau the prow lest lady in the vil
lage; besides, you shall have attendants,
I all the luxury and refinement that
wealth can famish. '
"A h, Colonel lArilier, what would these
spleuded gifts be without the heart ?" said
Cadelitie.
"You will soon learn to love me."
i‘No,lonad, we can never love but one."
"Then why not love me T"
"Beeauee already love another," re
turned
"Indeed, nt . ) fair charmer," said the Col
onel, ironicullv : "unity I he pertditted to
Mk the name of the cherished pliant 1"
"Anthony Martel," was the innocent
reply.
"What a common soldier—a misera
ble hireling for a rival I By heaven I"
he exclaimed, in a terrible passion, "un
less you instantly accept my snit and re
jeer the beggarly churl, 1 will have hint
shot like a dog fbr his audacious presump
tion, and I will give,you but a moment to
decide his fate.'
"Oh. sir, !" exclaimed Cadelino. "he is
guilty no eritne—.--lo has never injured
you. " "Has he not dared to supplant a Colonel
of the l'reuen allay, awl he only a common
soldier ?"
"Nay, Col Lavilier, I loved him ere
saw you. He is generous, noble, and would
not injure any one."
"Do not lose time in idle words ; con.
sent to be mine, or ere the morning sun
shall have risen an hour in the heavens, his
heart-will cease to beat."
"Oh, heavens ! spare' him !" cried Cad ;
cline in anguish.
"You plead in vain.
"Glyn me but a Single day to'deeide. , "
"Not an hour."
At ,this moment a majestic form cast a

Thus, then, let me prove ni'y words by
snatching a breath of the sweet fragrance
of your scornful liPs."
And clasping his arms around the fair
form of Cadeltnu, Col.; Lavilior endeavored
to put his throat into execution.
"Help ! mercy I help !1' exclaimed the.
At this moment the report of a pitted, in
the hands of the stranger Amu Ate before
mentioned, was heard t and ;the bullet shut
tered the form of the aggrf:tiFinr, rendering
him pow-irless, but whenceilm shdt came
both were unabit CO tell, for un sooner was
the weapon discharged that the deliverer
disappeared, and Anthony Martel rushed
into the room by another door. Observing
the wild
- appearance of Cadeline, breaking
from the arms of the Colongl, inns instapt
he divined the whole, and with a Powerful
blow he laid the lase 'lnsulter at his feet,
By this time the report :of fire-arms had
brought a detachment of.toldiers to the
spot, Who, on entering, were immediately
commanded to arrest Anthony for attempt
ing to murder his superiorptriecr. s in vain
Caliche° protested his, inotteptee ; they
drugged him away and coufieed him under
a strong guard.
On the following morning an unusual
aeti%ity among the officers told that smite
thiug of more than ordinary importance,
was to take place, as each our, hastened to
the quarters of the coniminder. Althof
a cowl martial is net a very unusual af

great attention in a camp.
Soon the quick roll of die drum told
that the court had convenodsand were rea

Nut were gathered a large Number of offi

platform was Gen. Levack, acting as judge.
Another roll of the drum announced the
untruheo of the prisoner.
"Of what is this man -charged r' asked
the judge.
