The ili:y before, she had captured a finial' . boat Liden %tit h contraband articles, to nether with an old man and boy who had chat 'e of thetin The captain of tic brig, whose name was Draaut, had ordered that the old smuggler should be put in iron.

IRobert buried his face in his hands, land the neat moment his father was !swinging at the yard-arm. He heard the passing ropy and the creaking block, and he knew that ho was fatherless. Half au hour afterwards the boy knelt Ibeside a ghastly corps, and a simple prayer escaped his lips. Then another low murmuring sound came from his bosom, but none of those whO stood around knew its import. It was a pledge of deep revenge I Just as the old- man's body slid from the {tans -board into the water; a vivid flash of lightning streamed through the heavens, and in another instant the dreadful. artillery of nature sent forth a roar se long and loud, that the men aetualy put their hands to their eag to shut out the deafening sound. Robert Kintoek started at the sound, •and what caused dread in ether bosoms,sent a thrill of satisfaction to his own. "Oh, revenge! eevenge!" he muttered to himself, as he east his eyes over the foam crested waves which had already risen beneath the sudden storm. The darkness had come as quickly as did the storm, and all that could be dis tinguished from the deck of the brig,; save the breakin" sea, Was the fearful craggy shore, as flash after flash illumin ated the heayeas.- "Light ho !" shouted the man forward; and the nest moment all eyes . ,were di. reefed to a bright light • which had sod denly flashed up among the 'distat roeli 3. The wind had cow reached its height. and with i,ts giant power it tent the ill fated brig "directly upon the purl-bound shore of rocks and reefs, ann every face save one was blanched with fear. In vain did they try to lay the brig to the wind, but not a sail would fey an instant stand the wind, until at length the men managed to get up a fere and main stormsail, ° and then the brig stood fur a short time bravely up against the heav ing sea. But it was evident that should she succeed in keeping to the wind, she would eventually be driven ashore, for the power of the in-setting ,waves was 7 , re - ater than" that of the wind:— "Boy, do you know hbat light that is?" asked the eaptaio, as he stood hold ing oo to the wain rigging to keep his Cert. "yes, sir," replied ltubert; "it is Bzl :ymme's Crac." • "What is it there for ?" "It !narks the entrance to a little hir bar, sir, which ties in the back of it." "And can it be entered by a vessel of ti,is size?" asked the saptain, 'while a gleam of hope shot across his face. • -Oh, yes, sir I large shipscan easily er.ter tl.ere." "And do you know the passage P' '•Yes, sir. I have spent my whole life on this ceazt, and know every turn in ii ' "Could von take the brig in ther3 iu thief storm ?" "Yes, Or." answered the boy. ".-‘llei will you do it r? eagerly, asked the captain '•Ou two cooditiops." "Name them quickly." The first ia, .that ,you let me go in peace; and the next, that you trouble none of the smugglers should they he there." "I promise," said the captain," and will gtve you a hundread pounds beside Now set about your work; but mark ute, if you deceive me, by St. George, I'll shoot you on the moment!" The brig was soon pat before the wind, and Robert Kintock stationed himself at The s'tarboard fore-yard arm, from whence his orders were passed along to the helms-man. The bounding vessel soon came in sight of the ragged crags, and the heart of every wan leaped with feir fal thrill as they swept past a frowning rock, which almost glazed •them as on ' flew the brig; and- thicker and more fear ful became the rocks Which raised their s heads on every side. "Port !" shouted the boy "Port is!".. • . "Steady—So.", ~ "Steady it is.", "Starboard—quick !" "Aye, aye-starboard it is.". At this moment the vessel swept on past al overhanging cliff, and just as a vivid flash of lightening shot through the heavens and revealed the horrors around, a lend shout was beard from the young pi!ot, and in a moment all eyes were t.rned toward him. Ile stood on the extreme end of the yard, and held . Min self by the lift, In a moment mire he croached down like a tiger after his prey, and then with one wild leap he reached the projecting mai: .

At length he stopped and stooped over one, upon the holders of which were two gold epulets. It was the cap tain of the brig—the murderer of his father. The boy placed his foot upon the body, and while a strange light beam ed from his eyes, and a shudder passed over his countenance, ho muttared : "Father you are amply revenged." The boy spoke truly.

Clay,like most wealthy slaieholders, was very food of wasting of the attachment and devotion of his bond men to himself. Not only were his slaves well) fed and, weft housed, but they were far happier than free people, and knew , and appreciat%l the - inestimable advan.l tages of their position. Whey did riot want freedom, and wouldn't take it on any terms. All • they asked„ was to live on the old plantation, and to end their days wade; -the easy yoke of "Massa" Clay.. Once upon a time-•—some two or three years ago-3.1.r. Clay had :Quaker friend from the North visiting him, and to whom he expressed his usual confidence in the attachment of his slaves. The Quaker was incredulous, and so Clay vauntingly determined to put the matter to the test. An old house slave—one who enjoyed his confidence, and who had always been well treiTed, and who seewed to entertait a real affection for his master—was called, and entered the room. • "Tow," said Mr. Clay, "here's a gen lewan from the North who says you and the . other boys are miserable here, and *ant to. In free. You may go-away - from home with hint if you like." 1 The old negro was puzztled and almost scared. Ile shook his head doubtingly. . "You are free, Tm, and can leave me if you want to," said the master. The negro trembled with motion.— At last, all exeitexent he cried ; "Are ion in earnest, mesa ? can I go North and be free ?" ' "Yes, if you want, to liare me and your Old hbale., - :;.ou. can go." ."I'ij go, massa. go anywhere to be free." And the, old fellow was beside 'laiu.s,elf with joy and gratitude at his em ected liberation. This MIS not, however, 'What the slave holder wanted or expected. Ho became very angry, ordered the poor, credulous 41are away, and soon wade his Northern friend' aware that his room was better than his oompaoy. Of course Tom was never freed, but it is probr.ble that Mr. Clay was thenceforth less 'assured of the affection of his negroes for slave life. , A .
