Later iti!l, I fee my elf at llic sclieol h ja-e, dia'ving my little chair up to (he lour that Mary might ride home. Many a beatitiLr have I gaineil on Mich orca nijn?, lor -iilier b'";i besides me l.ked lior, und vlie, 1 lear v;a. something of a iliit. even in her i:ia!m How cle niUtiy she came itijipi'ij; down the step whni I called her name. How Mveetly her blue eyes l.i.il.ed at me. How gaily lunguiit her merry laiiuh. No oue bill Mary could bring her heart so soon to liei lips 1 followed, that limgli Irotn my iIuvm of'eliildhood till I grew an awk w ad, l.lu.-lr.ng voiuh ; 1 followed it :!i!'oisl; the heated noon ot manhood; and now when the hosts of age are silv eiing my hair und many children climb upon my knee and ea'.l me ' Father," 1 iid tint the memories ol youth are strong and tha', even ia gray htiirs, 1 am foil iv.ing the music Mill. hen I w is Siliecti the first g-cnt sor row of my life came, upon my heart. I was sent to M'hool, Mid vas obliged to ,'art with .Mary. lie weio r.ot to fee aeh nt In r lor three long year?. This, 'o me, was like a sentanee 10 death, (oi dary was like life itself to me. 15ut le'ii'ts are tnuv-R things, iifternll. I left ci'lli ye with nil lliellnsh and vigor of tny nineteenth year. I was no iongir.uwkward or cmbarru.-sad. I had rown into a tall slender stripling, with i ery gi.nd opinion of i.iysell, both in general and particular. If I thought of Mary Moure, it was to imagine how I joiildiazzle and bewilder her with my jood looks and wonderful mental attain ments, and never thinking she might l.i..ie a. id bewilder nie still more. I as u eoM'i iul), I know, hut us youth t id uo-idlooks htvi! fled, I tru-t I may i: believed w hen I say that self conceit ias 1c): me abo. An advantageous proposal was made no at that time and.neeeptiiig k, I gave i,i .ill idea of a profession and prepared .o pi to India. In my hurried visit hou.o of two days T taw nothing ol Mary Mooiv. She had gone to a boarding chin il at smnc ditanei! und was not ex pected home until the following May. uttered a .-ih to the memory of my h'.tle playmate ami then called myself a man again. In ii year, I thought, as the vehicle, whirled away from our door in a year, or thieu jears ut tho very most 1 will return, and if Mary Is as pretty us she iisid to bej why, then, peihapi i may many her. And thus I settled the ill. lure of n young lady whom I had not seen for four years. I never thouhght of the posibility ol her refu-ing me never d reamed that bhe would not COtl. descent! to nccer.t tny offer. Dal now 1 know that had Mary met me then she would have despied :uc. Perhaps, iu the scented und affected stu. dent she ink-lit have found tdeuty of sport but us for loving mo, I tdioitld, ticvhuiiM have found myself mistaken. India vas my salvation, not merely be. cause of my success, but because my la borious industry bud counteracted the evil in my nature, and has made me a better man. tl'hcn at the end of three yeuis, 1 prqmred to return, I said noth ing of tho reformation of myseif, and they shall find out for themseves wheth. tr 1 am better worth leviug thau form erly. 1 racked uri many a token from that romaMli'j land of romance, tiyd gold lor the friends 1 hoped to meet. The gilt for Mary Moore 1 selected with a beat in.; b. art ; it was a ring of rough vit .ri l. ir.i'.l li'll IIIV tlMleC Ullll lllO'S Cll giaved inside -that w as all, au l ye (lie si- ht uf the little tov strandy thrilled me 3b 1 balanced it on the tip of my fin ger.

Lut UJ, FOll THE 1UGIIT 2t,G,Jr,n,i MXXA.. JULY 11, ISO?, a servant answered my summons. Tllcy were too merry in the parlor to heed thet long absent one who asked for admit tance. A bitter thought like this ran through my mind as I heard the souuds from the parlor and saw the half sup pressed smile ou the scrvant'H face. I hesitated a moment before making myself known or asking for any of the family, and while I stood silent a strango npnritiou grew up before me. From behind the servant peered out a small, golden head, a tinny, delieatc form fol lowed, a sweet childish face, with blue cyos.so likj those of one who had brigh tened my boyhood that I started with a sudden feeling ol pain- " ll'liat is your name, my pretty 7" f asked, while the wondering servant held the dour. "Mary Moore." . "And what else V Tasked quickly. She lilted up her hands to shade her eyes I had seen that very attitude in another in my boyhood nnny and many a time and answered in a sweet, bird like voice ; "Mary Moore Chester." My heart, punk down like lead Hero was an end to all the bright dreams und hopes of my youth and manhood. Frank Chester, my boyish rival, who had olteti tried in vain to usurp my place beside the girl, had succeeded at last and won her away from me. This was the child his child and Mary's. I sank, body and soul, beneath this blow, and, hiding my lace iujn'y hands, I leaned against the door, while my heart wept teats of blood.. The little one gazed at me grieved and flmutt?d, and ut up her pretty i:ps us if about to cry, while the perplexed servant stepped to the parlor door and called my sister out o see who it was who conducted mm. self so strangely. 1 heard a light htcp au.l ideaeaiit. voice sayin "Did you wish to see my father sir : looked up. There ecood a pretty, sweet-faced maiden of twenty, not much changed from the dear litilu sister I bad loved so well. I looked nt her for a moment and then, stilling the tempest of my heart by -a mighty effort, I opened ny arms mid said : "Lizzie, don't you know me?" ' Hairy '( Oh 1 my brother Harry '." she cried and threw herself upon my breast. She wept as if her heart would break. I could not weep. I drew her gently into the lighted parlor aud stood before them all. There was a rush and ciy of joy, and then my father und mother sprang toward me and welco ned mo homo with heartfelt tears. Oh 1 strange and pass ing sweet is such a greeting to i way .worn traveler. And as 1 hold my dear old niotliec to my heart and graspDd my father a hand, while Lizzie clung besiflii me I felt that nil was not yet lost, and although auother had rccured life's ehoisest blessing many a joy remained lor me iu the dear sanctuary of home. There were four other inmates of the room, who had ri.-cn ou my sudden en trance. Oue was the blue. eyed child whom I had already seen and who now stood beside Frank Chester clinging to his hand. Near by stood Lizzie Moore, Mary's eldest sister, and in a distant corner, to which (she had hurriedly re treated when my name was spoken,stood a tall aud slender figure half hidden by the heavy wiudow curtains lu.it iell to the floor When Ihe first rnpturoiu greeting was oVcr L;z.ie led nie forward with u tini. id grace and Frank Chester grasped my hand. "Welcome home, my boy !" he said, with the loud eheerlul tone I remember ed so well. "You have changed so tiiat 1 never would have known you ; but no matter about that your heart isiu the light place 1 know," "How can you say he is changed V said my mother gently. "To be sure he luoks older and graver and more like a man than when he weut away, but bis eyes and smile are the same a& ever. It hi a heavy heart which changes him. lie is my boy still." lieieii help me '. At that moment I felt like a boy, and it would have been a blessed relief to have wept upon her bosoni.as 1 had done in infancy, lint I kept down the beating of my heart and tho tremor of my lip and answered quietly us 'l looked into Lis lull aud handsome face : "Vou have changed, too, Frank, but I think for the better." "Oh! yes. Thank you for the com. tilimcut ," be answered with a hearty laugh. "My wile tells me 1 grow hand somer every day. His wile. Could I hear that name und keep sileucu i-liil ?

Tho eyes 1 hud dreamed ol by day and night were falling Leuea'.h the anient gaze of iniue and the sweet f'aeo I had so long prayed to sec was there beside me, I never knew the meaning of happiness until that moment. Many years Lave passed since that happy night and ihe hair that was dark aud glosry then is fast turning gray. I am now grown to be an old man aad can look back to i. happy and I hope a well speut life. And yet, sweet, as it has been, I would not recall a single day, for the love that mudo my manhood so bright shines also upon my white hairs. An old man ! Can tips be so ? At heart I nr.i as strong as ever. Ami Jary with her blight hair parted as smo ith from a brow that has a slight furrow upon it, is still tho j)ary of other days.

VOL VME El G 11TXUMBER 1 G TIlE THREE CRIMES. AN L'ASTHUN TALK. Ifamct Abdullah was tin inhabitant of a grotto on one of tho slopes of Nt. Olympus. When he stood at the cn.-. trance of hia humble dwelling, he could embrace with one gltinee all tho tcrrito. ty originally possessed by Osman, the founder of the Ottoman empire; and, as he five times a day offered up his pray ers to Allah, he invoked blessings upon the head of Solomon the Magnificent, the reigning Sultan in whose time he lived. Indeed, Abdullah was renowned for liis sa-ictity ; and the inhabitants ot the vicinity of his dweliiug treated him with the most uuri'.cd rcrpect. He was net, however, entitled to this excessive veneration ny his age ; for he had scarcely attained his fortieth year when the incident of tliia tale took place. His venerable father who was himself a dervish of great sanctity, aud whose years amounted to four score rc. sided with him in the same grotto ; and fortunate was deemed the individual who, on his way along the slopis of O lympus, was allowed to join the players ol tho two deivij-1 e , kneeling up.iii tho ground at the entrance of the cave, and turning their countenances towards the holy cities ot Mecca and Madina. Haniet -Ibdallah was one morning roving amidst the groves unJ ;oods; which extended up tho mountain far a bove his grotto, and pondering upou the passage iu '.ho A'jrau which ho had been perusing but a short time previous ly when Iiis foot struck against some thing hard upon the ground. He look ed downward, and saw uu iron ring fast ened to aVuiall brass plate, which was let into a square of stonework, and poemed to cover a hollow pluce or well. Obeying a sudden impulte ot curiosity, Unmet applied his hand to the ring and pulled it with, all his force" Aftsr many vaiu exertions, Ihe brass plate yielded to his strength, and ho fell backward with the suddeu shock. Hefore lie had time to rise and exam ine tho aperture thus, laid bare, a dense volume of suioke issued from the hole, and ascended in the air to the height of several thousand feet. llumet gazed with nstonisliiiicnt upon this strange apparition ; but how much more was his wonder excited when he saw the smoke gradually become more and more pal pable and shapely, und at length ussumo tho form of au immenso giant, with a lung flowiug white beard, and a tieiiiiin. dous pine tree in his-right hand. Ilamet fell upon his knees, una wi.-, "about to put up a prayer to heaven when the terrible apparition addressed hiiu in a voice of thunder : "Nay mention not the tirtnie of the Deity, or I will cut thee into ten thouj aud pieces." "Who art thou ?" demanded Ilamet. rising from his suppliant posture. 'lam Kara, nn evil Genii, whom n victorious power shut up iu that cursed hole, where I have languished for two thousand years. It is an evil day for thee that brought thee hither." "And wherefore, proud Genii?" de manded Ilamet. "Ueeause I am aliout to kill thec, in order to avenge myself on some one for this long captivity," replied the giunt. At these words Ilamet trembled very much, and besought the Genii to spare his life. For a long time- the Ge. uii was inexoiaMe, and ordered him to prepare for immediate, death ; but at length he s.jiTored himself V be moved by tho prayers and enUctie3 of the vir tuous dervish. "Hark ye," said the Genii; "I am willing to snare your lifo upon one con dition." "Name it," cried Ilamet, his heart leaping wilh joy. '1 will grunt your request, I say," proceeded the Geuii, "on condition that you perpetrate soma crime which may diminish your overweening pride of con. scions virtue. Do riot lu'errupt me or I will kill thee ou the spot ; but listen. T give you your choice of the thiee m .xt heiiiouo crimes which I oau iuiagine. You sk'.wl either violate the law of the Prophet, and drink yonr till of yoi wine ; or you shull minder your vener able fat'ier; or you shall curni -the name of the Deity wfcoui you worship. Choj.-e between these three urimos." Then Unmet wu very sorrowful, and ho endeavored to melt the heart of I evil genii ; but nil his prayus au J en treaties were unavailing. He according ly began to reusoli within hiuii-elf. " If, " niid be, " I uhsaiiiimite my father, un tvmti'itiou cm wipe away my cri.ne ati '. moreover, the law will over take mo with its ven o'uuce. If I curse the .lame' of tho great Allah, 1 n a ; sign, iu vj'.u for fu.uie happinc-d iu the gatdens of Paradise. But if I becomo inebriato with the juice of the grape, I can expiate that by severe mortification, pcuitenco and renewed prayer. Then turning his countonanco up ward toward tho Genii, lie paid, "O fountain of all evil! I have made my choi.se, since theu art determined on, this injury." "Name the object of thy choice," said the Geuii. "I will get drunken with wine, as tho least of tho clinics which you propose," auswered the dcrvise. "Do it so," cried tho Genii, "this evening after the hour of, prayer, thou wilt find a jar ot Cyprus-wine upon thy table, when thy father lifts retired to rest in his own cell. Thou inayest ful fill thy promise then ; but woe unto thee if thou dceeivest tno !" Tho Genii gradually became less pal pable as lie spake these words; nnd by the time the concluding menace had issued froth his lips, he had vanished altogoth-. cr. Ilamet retraced his steps towards the grotto, with n sorrowful honrt ; but ho would not coufido his anticipated disgrace to the affectionate parent who welcomed hisscluru. Tho day passed rapidly away ; and in the evening, Ilamet and his sire knelt down as usual at the door of the grotto, with their laces towards the south, to. raio. .their voices in prayer. When vespers were concluded, the old man embraced his eon tenderly, and retired to tho inner part of the grotto. As soon as Ilamet knew that his father slept, ho lighted a lamp; and as the Genii' had told him ho saw a largo measure of wine standing upon tho ta ble. Tho uuhappy dervish raised it to his lips, and dtauk deeply of the intox icating draught. A glow of fire seem ed to electrify his frame, and ho laugh, cd as ho set "the vessel down upou tho table. Agaiu he drank ; aud ho felt reckless r.ud careless of the consequen ces. He drank a third time ; and when he had emptied the niea.urc, ho rau out to the door of the grotto, and threw it down the siopo of tho mountain ; then as he heard it bounding along he laugh cd with indescribable mirth. As ho turned to enter tho grotto, he saw hia father standing behind him. "Sot:," said the old man, "the noise of revelry nwoko me from my slumbers, aud I vise to find my well-beloved Ham ct drunken wilh wine ! Alas ! is this meiiTy one of many nights' orgies ; aud have I now awakened to tho dread truth of thine impiety, for tho first time ? A lns! thoa hatt ca;t ashes on the gray head of thy father ?" Ilamet could not brook this nceusa. tiou, aud the implied suspicion that he was uecujtomed to iadulgo in wine whilst his father slept. Hg felt sud denly indignant at the language of his sire, "Return to your couch you old do. tard ! thuu kuowest not what thou say saves! !" "And, us he uttered those words, he pushed his father violently into the grotto. Tho old man resisted, and a gaiu remonstrated with Ilamet- Tha brain of the sou was confused with liquor; and a sudden dread was con fused to the world tntered his mind. With the rase ot n demon lie i:.V.d upon hi ho,. i j -' O'.ided sire, f.nd d-i-jh : li i in furiously nguie t the .'-tone wr.lls the grotto.

S'iddonly co:.sciou8 of ti.e ! :i crime of which he h i i 1 jeo i."iiil , Ilamet tore his hnir, beat his bi'east.uriu raved like maiiiae. And, iu the tabist of his ravings, ho lifted up his voice ngniuHt tha majesty of hoaveu,and curs ed the Deity whom ha had so loug and feivcntly worshiped ! At thut instant a terrible din echoed roundabout the thunder, rolled the lull trees shook with an earthquake and, amidst the war of the conflicting elements, were heard shouts of iufcrual laughter. Ail hell seemed to rejoice at the fall of a good man, whom no other vice had ever tempted away from the paths of vir'ua, uutill drunkenuess pre sented itself. The ruga of the storm increased the trees were torn up by their rootd aud fragments of the rocky parts of 0!ytu;ius rolled down the hill with the fury of an Alpiue avalanche. Then sulleuly the Geuii appealed be fore the wretched Ilumet, und exclaim ed, "Fool 1 by choosing to commit tho crime which teemed to thec tho least, thou hast committed the other two likewise ! For tlcie is more daugcr in tho wiue-cup thuu in any other metins of temptation presented by L-atia to man kind !" Aud the last words of tho Genii mingled with the redoubled howling ol tlu storm, as Ilamet was hurled down the ilipe of the mountain by tho fallen misses, uud dashed to pieced ut the bot tom' " , Vni'isvi cu coffee colored iK.turaliza-. tion i ipeis, it true was ccrtauly a very ingeidjus dodge, but it was weak ineom paiivm with driving plantations of to ll, coo col .rd I'.cgroc up to the J'olls, with United 'tat;s bayonets. .MurnF.il 1" exclaimed un affected young ldy j'l-t come from boarding school, "mother here is a grammatical emir in the Lible !"
