In the narrow loop-hole of a ruined tower on the east coast of England, stood a man gazing forth upon the sea, dark and tempest lashed. His eyes were fixed upon a foreign looking barque which for an hour past had been struggling with masterly skill and seamanry on the part of those who manned her, to beat off from the iron rocks which the tower crested. It was near sunset and the low clouds cast artifical night over all, and through the gloom the three top sails of the ship shone spectrally white. The waves were high, and the wind terrific. The watcher had been for half an hour observing the movements of the stranger, not with the nervous and humane anxiety which most men would manifest in beholding fellow men in dire peril, and possibly on the verge of imminent destruction, but the expression of his face was cold and stern. His appearance was that of one high born, with that finished severity of profile, intellectual outline of head and haughty air, that oftener is associated with the imperative character of nobles accustomed to have the will executed, then of men of lesser degree. d.t :se luoi thnarieef tbd ther rnovec at ~fthe qen, th , ? 5 n4 ppof t#ae7SI° NOW, * mifle Into the 8ee*1Mb 14oigk wr"nSk *y*A be5 titegs6h*O ditlpp.o r re t" , '' ', : nom Spye k : nt4 I$ t ,k-+4w ar . : . -w Be ~t. ~M of ~as~pds Atow~t6 an eoewro& c .r lW stoo "^40ag~u mpg~4 _44 10 ' ,t, !t t _t = U ts 3 F, e I f 1 i ..

Why not perish to night those men of despair in yonder ship ? why not to-night, as well a forty years 'hence ? 'Twill be the same in the end! Ah, they have missed stays!

""Lord Robin, thou art wicked enough to bring the red lightnings down on this old tower 3 and topple us all over into the seething sea be- low ! Crest thou for naught ?" " Nay, nurse good one, I will tot shock thy faith. Albeit, I marvel that thou hast any Christianity in thy soul, since they say thou art a witch and hast compacts and covenants with Sathanas !

"I like thee, because thou wert my nurse in childhood; and I thank thee after thou wert grown old, and hadst got such reputation for dealings with evil spirits, thou host given me shelter in this old dungeon, whither the hatred of thy race bath driven thee. But watch the ship. Hear how bellow their guns ! aid the blue smoke jets out and' appears for an instant, and then vanishes into thin air like the prayers of the poor wretches on board." "If it 1were possible t serve them, my Lord Robin," said the old nurse, with an anxious gaze upon the vessel which was now driving toward the cliff! "If there were but a boat and strong men to go in it !" "And whataveil I Let then die to-day and they will not not live and;sin to-morrow," an- swertd the nobleman.- "And die, they will, for nothing can save them! Go!"- His attention was now-fixed upon the barque. Theoruarineru finding that it was in vain to try longer to weather the le 'shore, seemed to be seeking out:place to drive upon where theashapo of the shore offered the best chances for esape. The commander could be seen at the hehis steer- ing frmly towards a beach at the-foot of the etr- cavated steps that anciently led from the castle to the sea-side.' Lord Robin, from his elevation, could look dotn upon her decks as a bird fly ing oves would see them.

It lighted up its golden hair, lent a radianceofsuper" natural glory toits fair brow, and revealed a face such as seraphs must have in heaven ! Lord Robin paused and gazed as if he had seen a vision. He held his breath and remained mo- tionless, as if he feared a step , cause it to \, vanish. Save the face of th ' a'll else was in obscurity, the bed, the muffie head of the old dae--and out of, and, from the 'dst of the darkness, was revealed the lovely sight, such as Lord Robin thought could not appertain to earth. - "If sleeping demons have been permitted to visit me, and madden me with horrors unspeak- able," he said, mentally, "waking, I behold an angel ! Yet this fair sight must be human, for I see the moving lips and.smile of one pleasantly dreaming; and the living heartlifts the vestment with its undulations ! I will draw near and see what means this sweet vision." - He bent over the lovely child. Its rich hair was still wet. He wondered whence it had come. Aslightfrown contracts its forehead. A troubled look crosses the face. "Hama! dear papa ! Let me not drown !" it murmurs, and turns restlessly. The careful lname even in her sleep seemed to -ear and ,be conscious of her precious charge.

"You were very bold, father,!" "We were very scared, boy, and a har eross- ing our path, would have made us run away back again. When we got near the tower, just about where you see that larch tree, we were all startled by the cries again; for we had not heard them since we -landed. They now seemed to come from below and out in the air. The bravest men drew close to the cliff edge and said the sounds were not from the tower, but were from the middle air-and that it was not from an earthly. being. We trembled, but still listened, till we were assured that they were not in the air, but far below. This discovery not a little amazed us, and as they grew more and more horrible, we did not long delay in return- ing to our boats. When we got to them, we could hear the shriek above us ! By.and-by 'teyf eased,,and we pulled off, and for my part, I have never fished there again by night." "I think I would not have feared, father," answered the youthful Philip. . ,rs "Youth is ignorant, and ignorance is rash, boy I But see Lwhat brave cavalcade have we here" The youth turned his head, and saw galloping forward, towards the tower, a party of-fouror five ,gay riders; evidently an excursion .from some one of the country-seats of the noblemen or gentry within the vicinity. " They are Lord and Lady Monteagle, lad ! Deff-thy cap, when they pass 1" said the old man,setting hini the example of deference 'tto one's betters" by uncovering his rough, white head, while letthey were hundred yards off, But the lad did not hear.

The pedler steeped, a4 beheld a square aperture, halfi-ou- ceded.by dak weeds, below which were several 5gppsjof aftone, apparently leading to a vault he' nt the enumnent. Into this operturo he peered curiously, but all was dark. Only a s*pof damp earth came from beneath. Will Niatt l isued a few moments, and then a stage fancy came Into his mind.

And I was sent to these old ruins to- night, with my regiment, to surprise a band of banditti, who are supposed to have their rendez- vous within its old walls.

He then returned to his men#. in order to place them in an advantageous posi- tion & the approaching combat, which he did by dividing them in two parties, and placing one on either side of the road. Hardly had the preparations been hastlyexa ented, when the party appeared in sight, at a short distance off, coming at a moderate pace; for the broken columns and walls, together with the brambles and thorns which grew thickly about, presented a. strong impediment to their faster progression. As they proceeded, every hedge and projecting column was searched. But when they caught sight of the soldiers, drawn up in such formidable array to receive them, they all drew rein, as if by common conF sent. The baron, who rode infront, turned pale with a guilty consciousness that his schemes, whatever they may have been, were discovered. But his confusion was but momentary, for, turn. ing to his men, he gave a few orders in a low tone; when the whole party wheeled asoand, and started off from the place.I But this was only a feint of -thebaron's to di- vert the attention of his antagonists, so as to set them In pursuit, and then suddenly charge on bat.
