They soon arrived in front of ono of those pala ces thatskirt the upper part of Broadway, whose white marble portico and columns reflected the light of the gate lamp. Here 1 the lady turned; and' as she met the glance 1 of a pair of beautiful and eloquent blue eyes that seemed to speak every noble sen timent, she blushed and looked down ler 4 moment. Again she. scanned, with a .glance crc she could speak, the youthful ' yet manly beauty before her, the soft, sun browned skin, the rounded cheek, the tine- Ifhformed mouth and chin, the pearly teeth, the proud forehead and curling locks, the agile yet beautifully moulded form, clad in the neatest, lace-trimmed blue suit. • "I cannot express myself satisfactorily to-night, sir," she said, "I cannot tell you how grateful 1 atn—how much I am your debtor, and skill have to beg you to favor me with a call to-morrow, when perhaps I can present my thanks in a more satk factory manner." "No thanks, fair lady, are clue me; have but done what every true sailor or gentleman would do in a similar position, and were it otherwise, your kind glance has amply repaid me for' all my services, as you are pleased to term them," replied the sailor, gazing with modest admiration upon the lady. "Oh, sir, you are very kind, but 1 can not permit you to go unrewarded, there fore, von must promise me crc 1 g o, that you will call ; I—my father would rejoice in seeing one who lugs thus nobly assisted me;., he would be 'grieved to miss dui nk• Mg you suitably—or stay," continued she, blushing deeply as she again met his glance, and presenting him at the same moment her card, 'if you will be kind e nough to give me your address my father will call on you.' "Fair lady, you value too highly my poor services, the offspring of chance as much as design," replied the sailor; as he turned to leave. "But your address—or your name— surely you will let me have the satisfaction of knowing to whom I am indebted," Said the lady, slightly reproachful. "To Arthur Burton," said he, while his eye lingered for a moment upon het form, then turning he walked slowly down the street. A few moments after, paused in the light of a street lamp . .and read on the card in his hand, 'Pmily Ureyson.'— This act was not unobserved by the lady who still lingered on the portico, watching his receding figure through the gloom of, the night, and li*ening to the sound of, his departing footsteps. Arthur Burton,' said the lady to hergelf, what a very pret ty name.' CHAPTER II -So salt, so,delieste, so sweet she came, damask glow just dawning on her cheek." 'Why that sigh, sister mine? art Weari ed with disappointments T. 0, he's a naughty, crud knight, that valiunt sailor of thine; he deserves no thoitglit, thus ea sily to forego the bright smiles of reward that await him; nay, nay, Emma dear, no frowns; ah, cast that shadow from thy brow,' said, or rather sang the lovely Alice: Greyson, as she looked up from her em broidery and glanced archly at her sister, Emily who was seated near the window vieliing . the crowds that hurried up and dOwn Broadway. ' Well, Ally, I will confess that I um disappointed, for I hoped at least to have, had an opportunity of presenting him with, this little xikiteli which I purchased pur- 1 posely for him'--seolly, is it not pretty?'

Above the middling I height,:.yet.not tall, and with a rounded' figure, and queen like grace, which won the admiration of every beholder. Al though she was a brunette, there was a freshness and stillness in her complexion, the result of perfect health, that gave her the rosy hue or a New England girl, and her fuli, black eyes beaming with the o penness of a guileless soul contrasted beau tifully with her compli'xioe. In mind she wits no less lovely than in figure; brilliant, yet subsea ntial ; enthusiastic, yet cautious, and with a depth of thought far beyond her years or sex.' Springing from a (inn ily proud of their name and ancestry, she' iitherted pride, but from Many'aceidental circumstances combined, working upon a youthful enthusiastic and reasonable mind, she had early learned to look upon pride of birth and riches with distrust. Site saw that a falsefeclirig% termed pride, boas ted of by . many, very frequently bid be neath its surface arrogance, supercilious ness, selfishness and ignorance. 'True pride,' she said, 'weighs the moral and in tellectual worth only, it views deeds, not names, titles or lands,' rind this pride she endeavored to cultivate in her mind. She and her sister Alice differed essentially on these points, and held ninny spirited dis cussions, in all of which she was sure to conquer. ller father would frequently be forced to yield her the field in argument, usually retiring from the controversy by pleasantly chucking her under the chin and calling her his 'little democrat.' A Week after the conversation, as re lated in the first part of this chapter, a large ship was hauling out of the slip at the foot of Pine street. The ship was to sail in an hour bound for Charleston, and the cap tain, mates and crew were bustling about in the hurry usual at the sailing hour of a large ship. In the midst of this bustle a splendid carriage drove rapidly down the pier, and threading its way among drays and boxes wagsoon alongside the ship.— Two gentlemen alighted and assisted out two young ladies. The tall, elderly gen tleman attended the two ladies to the gang way, while the other remained to attend to the servants and baggage, Wook out, Tom,' said he. to his negro servant, , wook out filet that bwox on.top; it cwontrtins all my sea stwores.' 'Yes, massa Randolph, I looks out for 111219 'And my pistol kwase in the carriage— wook out for the hair twiggers, Tom ; may require them.' • Yes, massa, I looks out ; hi, hi, massa Randolph look'ec here ; here's sumfin broke for Benin,' and his ebony phiz look ed horror struck as he pointed at a Bf.IIMITI of black liquid issuing froni the bottom of a box. 0, destwuctimil p y hwacking bottles have. bwoken and wuined my stwores— my linen will Nvook like the dwevil and my cigwas are pwobably saturated-0, gwacious *hat will the wadies say to my linen?' Meanwhile, the ladies, assisted by the captain, had ascended the ship's side and were stepping, down a plank to the deck, the gangway steps having been removed in hauling the ship. There, Emmy, I am. down safe,' said one, as she readied the deck and' turned. As she'. spoke, the other - who was follow ing,Slippcd on the plank. • 'She uttered Al faint scream ;ma sprang forward, bat crc she could reach her foiling companion; a sailor who.had been standing by the main rigging unobserved, sprang forward and caught the Ming lady. 'DO not be frightened, lady, you are safe,' said he, as he'released the fair form. Instantly the lady turned at the sound of the voice, dt4 as her eye met his, the rich blood mantled' her brow and cheek' with a scarlet hue: The sailor reddened, boWed low, and hurried forward. 'O, I was so frightened, Emmy, I tho't, you would fall Said one. HoW odd, heWgtrange, Alice . , said the other, absently; ae l she turned aft. • • Odd! strange!

Good heav ens! how strange that I should meet him again, and , again receive a favor at his hands,' communed Emily with hersell.—, If I was the least superstitious or believed in the affinity of spirits, I should be temp ted to believe that the better half of my spirit hovered around me in his shape.— But it cannot lie! no, no—love!—no.— Doubtless he is, as 1 know he. must be, a noble spirited young man, lte.,looks it in every lineament and acts it in every mo tion ; but he is a sailor. Still I may be gracious as I will—as I ought—and thank him Ibr his lavers; but love!. no, no,' and fur a ti:w minutes the proud blood of Grey sons throbbed through her veins. C'l IA FI'ER 111. Them' , '.1..%%ev1 litlle chute!) Nits tAm!ing a:ull, To lieep watch o'er the li.e of poor Jai _ A lbw days had elapsed, and favoring winds had wailed the ship far on her course. Hatteras had been left astern, the rough waters of the 'Frying Pan' had been sailed over, and all were expecting soon to be greeted with the heart stirring cry of, 'land ho !"lhe Misses Ureyson, not being troubled much with sea sickness, had passed much of their time on deck, enjoying the beauties of their voyage.— First watching the receding land as it sank like bright visions of the poet into dim obscurity, then enjoying the sublimi ty of the desert sea ; inhaling whh delight the pure, bracing air, and interesting them selves in every ship manceuvre. The furlin ,, and setting of the sails, the bra cing o c f the yards, the merry sailors' yo heave ho,' were all objects of interest to them. When the sun arose they were up, to see him spring with dignity and maj esty mingled with delight, from his wate ry bed, and at eve watch his last lingering look as be sank beneath the west; they threw crumbs with a childish glee to little flocks of 'mother Careys' following in the wake, and shouted at the gambols of the porpoises under the bow. But Emily's thoughts frequently wandered far from those little amusements. She threw ma ny anxious glances towards the young sailor who had been of such invaluable service to her. She watched every move ment as he walked around the deck per forming his duty, and when she saw him, to fulfil some order, run up the ratlines with the agility of a squirrel and balance himself over the deep waters, upheld by a single rope only, her heart throbbed wild ly with fear. But w hen he took his posi tion at the -wheel, to steer the ship, then she had opportunities for conversing with him, and if she had been before pleased with his appearance, she was doubly inter ested by his comairsation. There was a modesty in his reception of the thanks ex pressed by herself and her father, a brev ity, vet comprehensiveness in his remarks, a sweetness in his tone and a manliness in his bearing , that enchanted her as well as interested her father, and she exclaim ed to herself, was he not nobly born"?' \V bib' tlreyson and his daughters were holding a conversation regarding this young sailor, the captain of the ship hew near, and Col,' Grevson turned to saying— " You shipped your crew in New York 1" " eq i sir; all hut one," was the cap ain's reply. "Ali! which one is an exeeption on thatpoint 1" "Young Burton; the young man at the wheel : he is a townsman of mine." "Indeed! he s man. lam surpi ligent among saild "Sailors arc gene :s-:',4.•ry intelligent class, Colonel Greyson, I. c captain, smilingly, "though it is, se •n. one can boast of as liberal an education as he can." "Liberally educated us a sailor ! What chance threw him into a martitne life I for it could hardly have been his choice!" with much.surpriso in his look 'as well as his tone. ' "Yes it was his choice. His parents are very respectably and oomforatably situated. They gave Arthur a superior education, and intended him for the bar, but he early conceived a:strong predilec:l tion for tho sea, and as ho grew old filo ) feeliiig grew to strength as well as• his dis glist for a professionnl life. His,fatherwi sely determined him to. follow .his halibt tion in'that respect; and intrusted him to my care, and such has been his proficien cy thiring the two yeaes voyages, he has, Made; that I shall make an :officer of him seen, and doubt not that he will walk the quarter deck - as master; ere the lapse of tivollyears,.as proud and responsible a po sition'as.an honest man need wish." The preceding. conversation surprised .us well as pleased Emily. She had. never- for a. moment dreamed that. Arthur Burton 'could bo' any other than! an adventurer-r-a sai lori3and now that_iheulertitietlithat 11P own, of good family,' perhaps equal to her own, , he appeared much dearer to her, and if the knowledge served to detract from the romance, it deepened the. interest ; for it was interest only that she would admit to herself that she felt for him. As was said at the commencement of this chapter, all on board were anxiously expecting soon to catch a glimpse of the land. The sea-afflicted passengers, in, spired with courage as they approached terra firma, had left their state-rooms and ventured upon deck. Even the exquisite Charles Randolph managed to sit up while his valet mado his toilet and the weakly gentleman, odorous with cologne, issued from the cabin. "Why Miss Gweyson;" said Randolph, as he met Alice, "I am very happy to see you—weally, I did not antwispate the pweasurc of meeting you On deck but I be wieve you genwally had an ambwition for manly spworts." "Manly sports ! you do not suppose mo so very delicate as to keep my state-room while there is 'such air and scenery to be enjoyed ? ha, ha, not I. I leave such in valid duty to the noble lords of creation ; but come and see them catching 'men o' war,' so id the laughing girl, as she seized his arm and led him to the lee-gangway; where Emily stood, dip-net in hand watching the nautilus as they sailed by. "See, see—is not that a beautiful 'man o' Nvnr"' cried Emily, with enthusiasm, as she brushed the curls that shaded her face back beneath her broad leghorn, and pointed to a nautilus that was riding on the waves near the bow of the ship, "what brilliant colors ! 0, if it would but sail a little nearer," continued she, as she pre pared to throw her net, "come a little near er—do little mariner." The next instant a pierceing shriek rang in the ears of ev ery soul on board. The fair girl had reached out to throw her net, and a lurch of the ship had pitched her headforemost into the briny deep ! "Sister—sister—Ern—overbaard?"sh ri eked Alice, as she fell fainting to the deck. "Overboard !" cried the captain, as ev ery one, with blanched cheeks, rushed to the lee side, where the gril disappeared— "hard down the helm—hard down— raise tacks and- sheets—jump aft the weather main braces—let go to leeward —let go the weather fore brace the booms —come, jump, jump, herons. Clear a-1 way the starboard quarter boat, sonic ofi ye, while others throw over the hen coops ! and other dunnage." "Great God! She's gone !" cried sev eral, horror struck, as they looked to leeward and astern idvain. "Seize him !" cried the captain, point ing to Colonel Greyson, who at that mo went had rushed from the cabin and wus preparing to leap overboard frantic with grief and fright ; "let me die with my daughter ?—shrieked the despairing father, as he struggled to escape, "0 God have mercy !" "Cut, cut the lashings!" said the cap tain, rapidly, to the,men engaged in clear ing the boat, "meet her with the helm, there—steady" "My gwacious ! another spwecimcu of my luck—l'v lost my intwest in the G wey son estate," said Randolph, as lie hid him- self in his state room. In a few minutes the boat was cleared of its lashings, and the mate with six stur- I dy seamen, leaped into it, and meanwhile the ship had rounded rapidly up into the• wind, and had lost all headway. "Arc you all ready'?" asked the cap tain, anxiously. •'ln a moment," replied the into a s h e shipped the rudder! 'Let me go—for heaven's sake; cap tain, let me go in the boat !" implored Col onel Greyson, as he struggled with those Around him. "You had better not, sir—no—you will but retard them.,' "All ready, sir," said the mate. "Lower away and God speed you-- hold on—wait for the next, sea—there, now is your time—let go by the run." "Thousands—a fortune—my all, to the man that. saves my . ,,daughter !" cried the father with outstretthedarrre ; the brat shot astern and turned her prow to wind ward. This scene which I have endeav ored to describe briefly, completely par.! nlyzed a majority of the passengers for a moment ; but as soon as the boat was dis patched all seemed to recover -their thought and energies, and each looked', eagerly round upon the waste of waters, to discern, if possible, some traces of the unfortunate. Many had ascended the rigging in various places, -to onabla them to obtain bettor views. •• "0, heavens! she must be gone !" groan ed one, after all had gazed, for a moment in silence. • "No, no--'look there—directly to wind ward—there she rises on the breast of the sea 1" cried one.

"God in heaven bless himl" • ejaculated the father, while the captain's brow. seemed clouded with deeper anxiety. • - When the first cry had arisen, ! Arthur Burton turned his„eyes instantly, tewarily the spot where ho had last seen: Emily, and the awful truth flashed upon his rpip.a., and while all_ others ran to the leeward, the spot where Emily fell, he leaped . into the weather rail, knowing she must ap pear to windward,if sho arosa,,anVafter pausing a moment, for her appetiraneckhe dashed overboard and swam towards ,her. "Miss Groyson, keep your hands,under water—l'll be with you in one . rnomeFit.--- cheer up," said Arthur in cheering tones as he approached unperceived by her. She ; turned her head at the sound of his voice, I and as her eye met his, approaching, it lost its wild and diseairing look, and aq i sumed a more hopeful glance. ''o, heaven! 0, Arthur, 0—" murmer ed she. "One moment more—do not be fright, erred and we will be saved—do not seize me thus—be cool, miss Emily, and all will be well." "Save me—O, save me, Arthur." "I will, or die !" cried ho -- ' proudly, while he upheld her sinking form, and strove to reach a hen coop that was float ' ing near. After a few minutes strug ' gling, during which he endeavored' to • calm the fears of the half drowned girl, and unite her efforts systematic with, his, , 'he reached the coop. "Here, Miss Emily; ' seize this and it will surely save us," say. ing which he buoyed her upend placed the floating wood securely under her, and watched the coining seas with a'PractiSed eve. Meanwhile on board the ship, conflict ing hopes and fears filled every breast, and every cheek was alternately flushed and pale. The captain alone preserved upon his embrowned features the unvarying deepest cloud of anxiety. Colonel Grey son ascended the mizen rigging to the round-top, and there kneeling bc.neath the boatswain's locker, he viewed the progress of every life saving cflbrt—he saw !Air , thur's gallant efforts to save his dughtcr —he saw them rise triumphant over the waves, and his heart beat quick ; again he saw the angry waves dash over and en velope them, and his heart's current teas. ed for a moment, until they reappeared ; he saw the boat gradually breasting the waves, and the hardy crew bending with strained sinews to the:. oars, and he befit his body and knit hiinerves as if to assist their efilarts. "Oh, Father--Father in heaven !" he cried, with upraised hands and streaming eyes, " save them—O, in mercy save them !" "See—see—the boat draws near them, Heaven speed the boat ; but no' they sink, they're' gone alas !—that monster wave has engulphcd them never more to rise !" the boat's crew look around in dispair ! and a groan, loud, deep, and heartfelt, a rose in cm) , heart. The father dashed his hands upon his head and tore his hair in wild despairing agony. "0, my heart! my daughter, "he cried. The next inst ant a wild, startling shout arose from the boat, and was borne on the breeze to the "What can it be 1" said one. Again that shout arose, and louder, manlier than before, and the sound thrilled like an electric shock upon every nerve. A moment of startling stillness followed, and each looked at the other. "Hurrah ! hurrah! hurrah !—they are safe !" arose from every mouth, With a shout that rivalled the tempest's roar. 'God in heaven I thank thee!' triumnired the exhausted tither, as he sunk 'sensless on the locker before him. Alter the lapse done year from -the day that the young ,sailor saved by his daring the fairest foam of South Carolina's daughters, the following notice was very generally copied throughout . the Union : "Married, on the 27th ult., at'Oaltland, Captain Arthur Burton; to Miss Emily, daughter of Colonel Greyson, M.
