One morning last April, us I as
passing, . through. Boston , Common s I
met a gentleman along The Mall. This
man's face forced itself upon ine and a
very singular face it was. His eyes
were faded, and his hair, which hew' re
long, was flecked with grey. Hist lair
and eyes, if I* may say so, were seventy
years old, the rest of hi m not over thiity.
The youthfulness of his figure, the e as-
E
ticity of his gait, and the venerable ' p
pearance of his head, Vereincongruities
that drew more than onepair of curl, us
eyes toward him. I
The next Morning I again erica,

' Thv,„,next morning „the train bore
Philip t.4nne of theloveliest spots with-.
in 11 - 4r,ty, miles: of .Paris. •An hour's
walk I th rough.green lanes brought him
to - M,Martin's estate., In a. kind Of '4.
dream-the young Man wandered from
room• to room'. - And, after dining with
M..Martiti, completed the Priii - charte and
turned his steps' towards the station
just in. time ter catch the expresS •train:
On i reaching , Paris 'he -drove to his
hotel where 'he found several letters,
lying:on the table.' Hedid not trouble
himself even to glance at their super
scription' as he threw aside his traveling
surtout for' a more appropriate dress.

selle Dorine the, ars , had appeared) to
walk, the 'fi l acre - to creep, at leas it
turned into the- Place Vendome, nd
- drew up gefore M. Dorine's reside' ee.

his cloak and hat, with a special de er

'ls Monsieur---" _

"Yes, Monsieur." r
"Alone?", '
.' "Alone, Mon aleui,"-repeated the man
l looking curiously at Philip, who cotill
scarcely repress an exclamation e
pleasure.
It was the first time,that such'a 'frit
lege, hatbeen abcorded to him. -•
Phiiiii.did not linger on the staircase
his heart sank in his bosom as he 'flt
cup the keys, two at a time. '
fh e room was darkened. Un dermal
-,ttlie chandelier stood a dim black etis
_or, trestle.' A lighted candle, a crucifix
and same White liciwers were On it tab
near by. l Julie Dorine was deadi.
When M. Dorine heard the indesc_;

to be said in M. Dorine's tomb, In - the
cemetery Montmartre. •-- • ••'
This tomb requires a few wordS of

of filigranted' iron; through_ this yptt
look lad a small vestibule or ball, at
the end of which 'Vasa massive door sit':

heavy ; slab laid over it reverently,l - and
the oaken door revolved' on its rusty
hinges,, shutting out the uncertain ray
of sunshine that had Ventured to, peep
In on the darkness. _
. .
M. Dorine, Muffled in his cloak,
threwr himself on the, back .seat of, the
carriage, too abstracted in his • grief,,to
observe that he was the only occupant
of the vehicle.
' The rattle or wheels had died out of
the air when Philip opened his eyes,
bewildered, like a man abruptly roused
from slumber. He raised one arm and
started into the surrounding blacknesh.
Where4as ho? In a second.the ' truth
flashed (ipon him. Ho had been left
in the tomb ? While kneeling on the
further side of the stone box, perhaps
he had fainted, and in the last solemn
rites his absence lied been unnoticed.
His first emotion was one of natural
terror. But this passed as quickly as it
came. Life had ceased to be. so very
precious to him : and if it were not his
fate to die at Julie's side, was not that
the fulfilirrient of / the desire :Which he
has •expressed to himself a hundred,
tim(s that morning! Wag It not cow
ardly to*yield up without a struggle the
life which he should guard forher sake?
Woo it not his duty to the living, and
the,dead to face the difficulties of his
position, and overcome them if it were ,
within his ,power? The vague fear of
thesupernatural, that Would affect men
in i., similar situation, found no room
in his heart. lie was simply shut into
a Chamber from which it waS necesharY
MO he shouldnbtain release within' a
given period. That this chamber con
tained the body of the woman he loved,
sofar from adding to the terror of the
ca e, was a' circumstance from which
he drew consolation. She was a beau
ti ti 11 statue' now. Tier soul was far
h ce.; mid if that' pure spirit could
r urn would it not be to shield him
N th her love? It was impossible that
tl place should not • engender 'some

He read somewhere, iu some ac
count of shipwreck, how the SurviVers
had lied for days upon' a few candleS
.whicli one of the nude •passongers had
insanely thrown into the long boat.
:And here he' had 'been burning, away
his very life.
By transient illuinination of one' of
-the tapers he looked at his, watch. It
had stopped, at eleven—but at eleven
that day, or the preceding night ? The
funeral he knew, had left the church at
ten. How many hours had passed
since then ? Of Nrhat duration had been
•his swoon,?
He iiicked hp the candle, and seated
'himself oh the stone steps. He was a
sanguine man, this Wentworth ; but;
as helWeighed the (chances of escape,
the prbspect did not seem encouraging.
Of couise he would be missed. His dis
appearance' under the circumstances
would 'surely alarm his friends ; • they
would Instigate a search for him, but
who would think of searching, for a live
man in the cemetery of Montmartre?
The Prefect of Police would set a hun
dred intelligences at work to find him,;
the Seine might be dragged, and les
miserables - turned over at, the dead
house ; a ' minute description of him
Would be in every detective's pocket;
and he—in M. Dorine's family tomb!
Yet, on the other hand, it was here'
he 'was last seen ; front this point a
!keen' detective would. naturally work
-up the case. Then might not the un
dertakes return front the candlestick,
probably not left \by design ? How
long could lie keep life in himself?
With pnaccelerated pulse, ho quietly
cut the half burned candle 1-into four
equal parts. To-night, he meditated,
will eat the first of these pieces; to
morrow the second, to-morrow' evening
the third, the next day the fourth, and
theif—Pll wait."
He had taken no brehkfast that morn
ing, unless a cup of coffee can be called
a breakfast. Ire had never been very
hungry ' , before. He was 'ravenously
hungry now. But he postponed the
'meal as long as practicable. It must
have been near midnight, according to
his calculation, when he determined to
try the first of hisaingulartepasts. The
bit of ,white wax was useless, but it
served its purpose.
His appetite for the time appeased, he
fund a nee' discomfort. The humidity
of the Walla, and the wind 'that crept
through the unseen' ventilator chilled
him to the -hone. droWsiness, too,

'all his will to fightfit ntr.- To sleep, he

Very strange., fancies flitte'd , t h rough
his head as he groped up and down the
stone floor of the dungeon. His whale

sweets and bitterness, were epitom4ed

became consaions .that the
gloom, the silence and the cold were,
gradually conquering him. The fever=

reaction. He grew 'lethargic, he sunk
down on the steps, and thought of
nothing. His hand, ell• by chance on
one ofthe pieces of candle: he grasped
it and devoured it, mechanically. This

When they led him out,lialf blinded,
into the broad daylight, M. Dorine
ticed that,Philip's hair, which a short
time since. was asblack as a crow's wing,
had actually turned gray in places.
The man's eyes t too, half faded; the
"darkness had spelled their lustre.

these creatures get into the net Q. IIlalt•

slcETelf tw 4;1141 IN flobtAND
A correspondent Of an' English jour
nal pleasantly describes Amsterdam and
its people:
The , city . which lies nearly at the
mouth of the Znyder-Zee, has direct
communication by sea with almost, all
the provinces; and thusshe had became
the mart for their produce long- before
railroads had .introduced a new , means
of communication, which has not even
yet superseded the vast interconimuni
cation by water, which existed In this
very, ~ extraordinary country, almost
every field of which may be reached by
water, and the manure froth the cities
is'thus, at very slight cost; spread- over
the most distant fields. The largo
barges which are used for the sea voys
Age as. well as internal trade, carry
about one hundred' tons: They •are
. rigged with two mastss placed consid
erably apart ; at sea, and •sometimes
inland or on the rivers, they use their
sails. At other tunes they are propelled
with long straight poles, used by the
athletic boatmen who placing the end ,
of the poles against their chests, and
walking backwards, urge the boats for
ward at considerable- speed. ! Inland,
When the sails cannot be used, they are
Hilraivn by men, or sometimes women.
1 The tow rope has a flat board, which is,
1 1 placed over the chest, and thus the boat
or. ' barge is drawn along. Horses are
seldom used. Indeed if one man can
pull one of these boats along, it would
be false economy to use a horse ; which
consumes as much food as seven men,
to do the work. These boats, in order
to turn in a small space, mid to intent
considerable stwage, are built ,very
square At the bat - s, and havola very old
\\\
fashioned look, b t they do a very large
amount of work. Amsterdam may be
said to be built in t to sea; all her build
ings are raised on piles. The Palace
alone required 13,695. In passing along
through the city I noticed the founda
'
Lion which was ISeing prepared for a
house. Two sets of men were engaged

The Protestant churches are rarely
open except on Sunday, and even then
it is difficult to get a seat. At Berne I
found the ehuretl locked, and I was re
fused admittance because I was not
there within a quarter of an hour alqr
the services had begun, In Amsterdam
it was a. little better; I wris allowSjd
.within The porch, but the doors admits'
ting to the seats were, all locked. Tile
minister goes through this duties like4i
lesson of which he wishes to get rid ;
and as he doeS not wis to be disturbed,
those who come too l e are locked out.
The churches are ipt vided With large,
heavy ponderous look g Bibles, fast
ened :with two imposing clasps. The
catechism and prayers are placed at the
end instead of at:the beginning. •
They do not allow families to sit to
gether in pews; all the women are plac
ed in the centre of the church and the
men sjt at, each "side. The men wear
their hats even Miring the service, and
neither menonor women stand tip du
ring the singing of the psalms which
occurs three tunes in the service, tittl
- collections are ivade during the sermon.
The, eolleetors have implements Itl;e
landing nets, with long handles; the
net is lined with black velvet. 'Plisse
bags are poked-in so.cce.-siim 1'11(10re:tell

tion.- The collections were made on
Sunday morning. What their object
was I did 11 d learn, save that, one set, of
the bags wa • marked with'a K, and the
others were - daill. Most of the conive
gation put s mething into each. The
clergyman NI is supplied with water and
he paused frequently in •his discpurse•
to moisten his lips and throat—a very
neesssary preeantion in using sueha

• I found the Crystal Palace open on
Sunday evening, and a band engaged
in its weekly concerts. The -building,
which would hardly be missed out of
SYdenham, is siniply a large concert
'hall, with a few flower beds in it. The,
corhpany whi b eli numbered, eight thous
and, were , sented in groups at small ta
.blies, where they had tea, coffee, wine,
Sul., or strolling about the hall or ad
jacent ground. The building was lit
with gas, and thronged with people or
all classes. The plunge Ibr admission
was sixty cents (ten-pence.) •
The thir has attracted all the movea
ble theatres and other similar amuse
ments. The tables are decked out with
provisions of various kinds. Vast mas
ses of the people, all sober, all well con
ducted, arc moving about. •In of e spot
is a Freteh kitchen ; the cooks are
working it public; ifis well ,lit up.—
Adjoining the cookino• ° room are alcoves
shut off by curtains where visitors can
taste the quickly cooked viands. -One
of the most, amusing spectacles is the
manufactaring of pancakes or fritter,
it Is carrieWon in the open air. • Upon a
large brazier, about three' feet by four
feet; is place, plate of copper, elbsely
indented with little saucers about three
inches in diankter, and placed in rows.
Two women sit on high . chairs, each
'having a large bowl off, batter on . the
left hand ; a long handled timberspoon
is used with the right hand to jerk a
spoonful of batter into each of the cups,
which have already been greased. Here
,it fries a few moments until an attend
ant reverses it with a long fork. They
are - then quickly gathered up with a
fork and taken 'away to be eaten. The
jerking of the batter never stops; as
soon as the woman has. got to one end
of her space it is time to begin again.—
The whole proceeding is indeed very
funny. These fairs are a sort of saturn
alia. They occur annually, and are the
means by which a very staid people
throw off Sonic of their pent up anima-
lion. ' They are mostly enjoyed by mid-
Jile and lower classes. All servants
consider they have a prescriptive right
to the enjoyment of the fair, which
lasts a fortnight. If any of the better
classes visit the spots whereit is held,
they never join in the
,spoi . Some
\

young girls join in a band - am Inareb

p 1803 Hilton 'Mad Island, hr South
Paiolina, was the headquarters-of " the—
departmen tof the South." It was gar
risoned by ten thousand choice troops
from seven different States. • Port Roy
al Amrbor, the 'finest in America, was
black with masts, and a hundred ships
carried the American flag. Hilton Head
proper was strongly fortified. d It con- .
tained vast stores of provision& and un
told quantities of 'ammunition''and im
plements of war. The confederates
looked on with eager eyes, naturally
desiring its possession, and therefore
sent swarms of spies and pretended de
serters to observe its strength and take
note of its weak points. The land bor
dering on the sea was defended by the
iron-clads•and dome "old-line-of-battle- .
ships," trod that portion bordering on
Broad River was held , by a single pick
et line of infantry and cavalry.
One dark andi'stormy night a picket
on a .solitary post was suddenly ap
proached by what he thought was a hu
man form. The intruder was appar
ently a powerful and well-built. man,
and wore a blue overcoat. He evident
ly did not observe the picket ta first,
but kept advancing until the loud com
mand to " Halt " was given three times
in snCeession, and the shall) report of
a ride broke the midnightAlence. The
dashof the gun enabled the picket , to
see the form in the blue overcoat fall,
heavily to the ground, as though pierced
in a vital part. ThePentinel suppositig
that a force of . the enerny was in his
imniediate presence, did net leave his
post to observe the effects of his shot,
hut, liken good soldier, stood his ground
until the alarm brought speedy rein
forcements. Having indicated to his
brother soldiers the sPht where his
dead nian had fallen, they lost no time
in examining the bushes, but, strange
to relate, nothing could he found. Af- •
ter a (hut ough search, and upon talking
the matter all over, they concluded '
lhat the ; ,, entinel had miTitaken a tree
for a man, and was rather disposed to
ridientelltis story; but he stoutly per
•-i: ed that he knew' his business, tend
fool enough not to know the dif
ferenee het tveen a Man iand a tree_ To
be on the sale side, the picket was doUb
led for the remainder of the night, •but
all rOmained quiet until morning.:.
Al . daylight a fresh sprvey of the sus
pieions spot was inade,land the soldiers
were start led to Lind the footprints of a
man ! They suddenly believed the pick
et's story,
but were at loss to kndu
what had become of their man. --
. _
The next night a different „dettieh
nient was on duty, and the same scenes
were enacted over, again, with the ex
ception that the Ginn appeared at a
litferent.poi:t. Each night, for a wee':
he picket - line was li t ept in constant
oniMotion by the str lige visitor, and
resh detachments were sent out from
1 '
'time to time, :hail there was almost a
continuous line of battle; bodies of
troops and scouts scoured the woods by
day, and •volunteers Were lying in the
8 Wunipv - by night. In the meantime
the lcustprint's which the visitor.lnvari
lily left behind were measured, "and
found in evevlcase to be identical in
shape and size.
'A company in the 1.15t.h. New York,
hearing of the allitHand, the wonder
and excitement . it produced, requested
to he,sent to the place for one night.—
The men felt sure' that, whether man or
devil faced them they would' Clear up
the mystery.
.
The New Yorkers, after being accept
ed, repaired to the line, and, in placing
their vitiates, the.officers took the pre
caution to always have at least two
men on each post, and in more remote
places three 4n- four. All had an in-
tense desire to be successful,. and they
moved about as quietly as possible.—
Shortly after midnight Andrew Smith
heard a stick crack in the dense bushes
a few yards distant. lle instantly drop

Out into the thick darkness. All was
still as death for a _Moment, when )an

Smith concluded tha , after all, it must
havti been an 'alligator or some other
denizen of the forest that he ,heard.—
