A non lay off the island. softly rocking,r on the fair Carib sea; the day was dyingâ€"far over tlte heav- ing god of the waters, she. was breathing her last. with the languid sweetness of a snuthetn evening. The sea throhbed at the touch 01‘ her fragrant breathâ€"its gleaming to-‘ puz and emerald undulated in love uith the caresses of the sky that bent toward it. The birds that‘ dipped their wings in the flow 0|" molten jewels hung over the iride- scent wave and sang of love im- mortal. The man who lay in the boat heard the birds, and drank deep into his heart that song of love. The air he brealhed was wine, the sky above was amber, the sea beneath was one deep of liquid enchantment. [-Ie floated still in lhlS scene of witchery, which a wandering peri might have mistaken for the home she had lost. The faint scent of spices came lrom the plantations of Guadeloupeâ€"so taint as to be a blessing to the time that lacked nothing the earth or ‘sea could give. Sometimes a sub- dued murmur of negroes from the plantations gave the sign of a living communityâ€"for the French houses on the island gleamed still [and white. without Sign of life. Edward Berthier remained move- less in his boat; his head lay on the crimson cushion, hi: dark face uplurned to the heaven that seem- ed almost revealed, filled with a sense of unutterable loveliness. In his face one saw the fire and chivaâ€" lric honour that dwelt in his soul. True-hearted through life and death he felt the rare French reverence lor woman, without the common French levily. Floating on the sea of perlection, his eyes did not forget to turn to- ward the shore, with a gleam of expectation and desire in them; at last, his fame flashed with sudden emotion, and he sat upright in his seat. From the little inlet in the‘ coast there glided a slender skifl',‘ propel ed by the arms ol a muscu-3 lar black. In the boat were two1 ladiesâ€"they waved their handker-l chiefs when they saw Berthier, who‘ bent his head in acknowledgment. His poet heart realised how beau- tiful in keeping with the supernav turallv lovely night were the faces‘ and forms of the ladies.

Laure looked up and smiled up- on him, as she repliedâ€" sun. The two sisters stayed their gliding course by the boat of Ber- thier. To one of them, Berthier’s face showed something olthe pas- sion his soul lelt ; he could never meet Laura Desault without in- wardly yielding her homage. as queen ol‘ltis destiny. Less regu- iar'y beautiful than her sister. her fact: contained expressions as ex- haustlees as the emotion she ex- perienced. Now she leaned list- lesst over the boat’s stde, her face filled with the dreamy langnor ol' the time and place. Berthier chat- ted in animation with the sister,‘ but his eyes, with his soul in them,l wandered restlesslv t0 Laure. Finally he addressed her.â€" ‘ Mademoiselle Laure. have you no thanks for me lhal l inviled you In such a trusting place as this ?’ ‘You should have been a poet, monsleur. Don‘t you Wish you were one, that this scene might be embalmed in words as glowing as the reality?’ ‘ I could never be satisfied with any fmorlal power of expression. You know the most powarfnl is alwavs unspeakable.’ ‘ Pierre. do as monsieur has dir- ected, and do not forget to return to the plantation at the usual timq.’ Edward sprang lithely into the ladies’ boat, and with three or {our oar-strokes they floated apart, away from the solilary black, who bent himselfm his work. and in a few mnmvnls had reached the shore. {deard watched his receding boat with as [range look of despair and anger. At last he said, in 3. cm- slraim‘d voiceâ€"- 'Mademoisclle Laure, how are your lather’s negrocs in lhis dis- quieted lime ?’ D0 lhey still main- tain [heir peaceful demeanour 1’ ‘ It is true that. it is only the sup- erficial egotist who is entirer pleased with his own- exertions.‘ Edward paused a moment then continued. ratherxabruptlyâ€"‘l beg you to allow me to take the oars m your boat; in the‘ meantime, your servant can row mv boat to land. Ibelieve I am sufficiently learned in sailor craft." The black looked up momenlari- ly, from under his cynical deceitful brows,lhen hem his head as his mislress saidâ€"- ‘ Yes : did lever find one who was satisfied with his expression, 1 should deem him very sha!low.' Laure looked up with an expres- sion of uneasiness. She withdrew her hand from the water in which she had been trailing it. ‘Idid not wish to alarm you. butI confess some concern about Pierre and his influence, which I know to be great.’ Laure looked wilh anxious eyes atthe black, who was lying lhe boat to lhe wharf. She replied.â€" ‘l have spoken to my father about himâ€"l have alwavs distrust- ed hIm; but my father relies on his authority more impiicilly and securely than I can. You know he isjust. but severe. Monsieur, do you think our black: will join lhe League that has been suspected .P’ Laure's face became somewhat more pailid in its soft hauteur. She knew too well the horrors of a slave insurrection. Edward let the melancholy sweetness of his eyes fall full upon the face nf Laure He did not reply ins'amly. not till Laurcghad ceased to meet his gaze. ‘ You know lam one of the im- prompm officers concerning these riots l believe I have discovered that which implicates your Pierre ; it was partly this discovery that made me solicilyour presence in the bav. Unhappilly your father would believe nothing insurrection- ary concerning his slaveg. His iancied security is lull of danger; siill 1 shall, with your permission ask an interview with him Ihis awning. I shall request him to al- low the presence of police about his house.’ ‘13 the danger so imminent." Laure asked ‘ 1 had Ihoug'nt this incipenl rising had been crushed last momh.’ There wasa silence for a mo- ment, when Edward asked-â€" ‘Can Inol persuade you two ladies to pass the night at- your unc'es Plantation on Desirade?‘ Edward bowed without speak- ing. The short twilight had faded, and the gorgeous, ltcavy-breatl‘ted night ol'tllat latitude was coming over sea and sky. The stars burn- ed VIVld and near; a crescent moon hung,r low in the sky, its ra- diance yellow and warm, and seeming to come nearer to the earth than in the colder North; its rays embraced the islandâ€"they wooed it with caresses sweet and passionate, as the voiee of the nightingale in the rose thickets of the plantations. The fair island hung, dewy and beautilul, between the waters ofthe tideless se'a and the warm amethyst of the starry sky. The unacknowledged lovers intheir boat were dimly consci ous that the scene was more bean- tiful than ever; they did not think it was because they saw it togeth- er. ‘ lowe you all gratitude for your advice and interest; but there is an insuperable objection in the way of my doing as you request ; it lies in the fact that! have always re quired my servants to consider their master as impregnable; (hare- fore, a‘ this late hour, I shall not prove to them that he is not so,‘ ‘ It is impossible. I shall remain wilh mv father : It would be a night of pain and of doubt away from him. I would ralher endure Ihe pain and the danger, iflhcre be any.’ Edward spoke in a tone so full 01 entreaty that the lwnvsisters pal- ed as they thought why he had done so. It vas Laure who ans- wered in lanes coldly resolved.â€" Edward bowed himself out of the presence of Desan‘tt. rage and despair mingling in his heart. He knew'how {the hangth planter would resent any interfer- ence on his part, but when he thought ofthe face at Laure De- sanlt he resolved that her home should be guarded. should he lose for ever the favor of her father. A calm-faced self-willed French- man, Monsieur Desault listened attentiveiy 10 Edward’s 13'». of the intrigues and designs of the slaws. When he had ceased speaking, and stood awaiting a reply. monsieur said, in tones too polite to be de- precated. The sultry air still and moist over Guadeloupe ; a dampness had hall-obscured the stars. and the young monn had long ago sunk out ofsight. The odours of ten lhou- sand shrube and blooms made the midnight almosl nppressivelv sweet. A deathlike silence brooded over the plantations; it seemed that all were asleep. But all were not sleeping. On the Dpsault estate. moving stealthi- ly- underneath the trees. a lone column nf negroes advanced stead- il) towards the mansion. No ex~ pressinn could he distinguisth in the gloom on their dark faces; but their steady. flimORt noiselesstramp spemed ominous of almost every- thing evil. I will row you there, and inform your father afterwards.’ Coming nearer. thev separated. and surrounde the house. Past wrongs burned in their soul; re- venge was close at hand. and its Satanic joy urged them on. Silent- lv they worked, till long tongues of flames leaped Upward, surroundâ€" ing the beautiful vinwcovered dwelling. They waited till the fire seemed fairly at work. than an ac- cnrsed cry 01 glee broke from their throats. The sting ofthe cruelties and wrongs heaped upon them seemed to be destroyed by those flames. They forgot the kind-eyed girls who had so often pleaded in vain for them. The masterâ€"the hated masteruwas there. encircled by the fires which had been kind- led bv his slaves. As that dreadful cry pierced the perfumed air. a window was thrown up in the second storv, and Desault’s stern face appeared. ‘ Fools !’ he cried, ‘ you: do not know mat for everv spark of fire here one of your black carcases shall be consumed! The authori- ties are not dead, though they sleep.’ ‘ Let them wake cried one of the negrovs,’ ‘ they will not wake in lime to save you !’ ‘ No matter. if they wake to des- troy you,’ replied the voice of De- caulk. Desperate and courageous, Ed- ward did no: yield. Al the rear ot the house he linally discovered a window which, though smoulder- ing and smoking, still was nut yet devoured by the flames. He wrencth out the window and leaped in, hardly conscious of 1 hope that he could leave the burn- ing building. Flying along the passage-ways he encountered the terrified screaming house-servants. He explored room after room, when at last, half-suffocated by smoke, he came to the aparlmem where Monsieur Desault had 31000. Suddenly the clutter of horses, feet was heard, so near and so ra- pid that there seemed no chance of escape. The negrnes hat! onlv a chance to look in dismay and an- xiety at each other before a body of cavalry dashed in upon them. They tried to fly. and darted through the gloom but they found a line of men ready to receive them. for the military _surr0unded the place. As commander cf the cavalry rode Edward Berthier. Adcspair- ing pallor nverspreatl his face as he saw how the fire was raging. "I‘no late! for love, or light, or happiness,’ seemeJ to ring in his ears. Committing the work of captur- ing the blacks to the care ofa lieu. tenant, he threw himself from his harse. and ran into the little back entrance, which he hoped had as yet escaped the flames. but he was disappointed. The slaves had not forgotten to 'neup their l'aggots there, and the place was blazing. Herc were the two girls, bend- ing over lhe inanimate form oflheir father. Life had left him. JuSl as the soldiers came up, one negro, not iorgeiting his revenge in his fright, had taken steady aim at the face of Desaull. and shot him through the head. 0t them he vainly demanded where were the young ladies. Edward could not repress a shudder. as he saw the prostrate man, but he did nut hesitate a mo- mem. He extended both hands, and the reports of two pistols were tol- lnwed bv the fall of two blacks. A tesrific yell lollowml their fall, and before It had died away De- sault shotdown two more. He seemed to lake a grim pleasure in thus firing on them, though he could not not hope to subdue them for he was completely in their power. They howled with rage, they envied the flames the power1 of destroying the sardonic-faced man who stood leaking at them.‘ Two or three, who had muskets, fired random shots at him, but they had no effect. ‘ Follow me 1’ he cried, ' if w be not now 100 lane !' They could not have disobeyed that voice. had they wished. They followed him in silence. through rooms consecrated to them by all the memories of a happy childhood. They reached the window by which he had entered. The heal was inlense. and almost too much [or mortal to bear, but Courage and love conqered. and at last they stood outsideathe instant after the fire darted in and consumed the frame- work ofthe window. Several soldiers came up, and stood at a little distance, awaiting the orders of Edward. The two girls remained motionless. looking at the burning of their homeâ€"â€" thinking ofthetr father.

A LION Smashâ€"The following is from Constantine, in Algeria :â€" When the vast plains near him mapes were converted into a lake of fire by accident, a magnificent lion, not knowing where to spend the night, directed his course to- wards a camp, into which he flung himself, making the horsee. mules, bullocks, sheep. and other animals there collected fly before him. A tent being open. the creature took refuge therein, to the horror 01 the family that inhabited it, and crouched down on the ground just before the entrance. The Arab: lay pertectly still, not even daring to sigh, or scarcely in fact - to breathe. We may believe as stated that the prayers offered up by them to the prophet in that long night, during which the lion remained without moving. but still awake, were truly ardent. When the first streak of daylight caused the fire in the plain to 10se its brilliancy, the animal rest up. gave a gentle growl. as it'b'dd'ng them aaieu,and walked ofl"to the mountains. Time 'l‘nooay or DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.â€"i\lany people fancy that the sovereignty of the people is realised by He government at the greater number. no matter how that government is or- ganised or how it exercises its au- thority. For my part, I confess that I know few errors of more danger- ous character. Sovereignty cannot be a mere question 01 addition. A nation is something more than a Cypher. What really constitutes a nation, what. makes it: greatness. what creates its power. is what. it Contains 01 ability, experience. reag son, and Intelligence. The giving movement to these living forces, lor the common benefit. is what is. meant by its sovereignty; and if' universal suffrage deserves to have its excellence eulogiscd. it is because it furnishes. under certain given conditions, the best meani that can be devised for placing the administration of public affairs in the hands of the most capable and most worthy. A democracy in t which the sway of numbers tends ito annnl the action oi men oi in- ltctlect, inslead oi tending to con- 1tide to them the direction of the ‘State, is not a democracy. I! is but a many-headed, blind, and ‘ blundering deSpOllSlnâ€"a despotism. l it‘ruvocibly doomed to perish soon- er or later, by its own hands.~ Louis Blane. AN lvottv QUARRY.â€"-NP.W‘ Si. beria and the Isle oi Lackon are, for the most part. only an agglomc. ration of sand, ice, and elephant's teeth. At every tempest the sea casts ashore fresh heaps of mamm~ oths’ tusks, and the inhabitants am able to drive a profitable trade in the fossil ivory thrown up by the wares. During summer, innumer- able - {islermun’s barques direct their course to this isle of bones; and, in winter, immense caravans take the same route, all the con- voys drawn by dogs. returning charged with the tasks of the mam- moth, weighing each from a hund- red and filtvto two hundred pounds. The fossil ivmy thus obtained from. the ft't'zennorth is imported into Chi- na and Europe, where it is employ- ed for the same purposes as ordin- ary ivoryâ€" which furnished, as we know,by the elephant and hippopo- tamus of Africa and Asia. The isle oi bones has served as a quarry nt this valuable material for export to China for five hudred years, and. it has been exported to Europe for upwards of a hundred. But 'tho supply from these strange mines remains undiminished. What a! number of accumulated generatons~ does not this profusion of bones and tusks imply!

Many years after in their quiet villa on the shores of Southern France, Edward Berthier and his Wife would talk of that. dreadful night in Guadeloupeâ€"but they loved better to recall the ineflable beauty of the twilight row. than the horrors that succeeded it.
