seemed to say "True, every word of it."
Mr. Elmore was a planter, living near
Natchez, in Mississippi, and I, fancying my
self au artist, was at that time sta3 ing at bis
house, ostensibly engaged in painting a por
trait of bis daughter Annette, a fair young
beauty of seventeeu
True, my etay had already been longer
than was strictly necessary for the purposes
of painting, but for reasous which will appear
more fully herenfter, I still lingered on the
plantation, an honored guest. And often,
in the calm autumn evenings, we would
all sit together on the veraIah, and talk for

under the shauow of the clinging vino.

"It would be useless to detail to you how
it happened that I called a carriage and ac

a pleasant acquaintance sprung out of that

you the wearying and'humiliating outline of
my prison life. Let me pass to the close.
"I had been shut out from the world, near

the low bed in my solitary ceil, dreatuingly,
wandering among the 'gardens of memory.
Sorrowful enough is this, even to him to
whom time has brought no shadow of dis

"And so I wa3 sitting iu the glowing gloom
of that aututuu evening, mentally living ever
again the days that were gone, when the

by two or three gentlemen, entered the cell.
One of the gentlemen I recognized as having

could net properly see the distance, and in a

I had net dwelt so long upon the river's
bank without familiarizing myself with the
use of the oar, and with the aid cf two or
three of the first who recovered their self-possession,
I launched one of the steamer's boats
and pushed off to the assUtance of those who
were struggling in the water. I shall never

"I was standing iu the bow of the beat as
we were returning slowly from a long circuit
around the sunken steamer, wba I saw close
before us a gleam cf a white garment upon
the water, and a faint bubbling call reached
our ears. The boat shot forward under tho
iirpulse of the rowers, but tho object was
gone. We were just turning to leave the
spot, when the water parte I again below us,
and the glare of the torches shone upon an
Bturned female face. I needed no second
