I bad served twenty five ybars on board an East Indiamah, and for the last ten years had commanded the Berle, one of the finest crafts that ever floated. 1 was an old sea dog, and had dwolt so long on salt water that I folt almost u hatred for the land, "On the 20th of October, 1824, I received orders to hold myself in readiness to sail for Cayenne. I was to transpoit seventy-five soldiers and a convict. I had orders to treat this'individual well, and the letter I received from the directory contain- ed another with a huge red seal, which I was not to open until be. tween 27 und 28 degrees west longi- tude, that is just before we were about to cross the line. The letter was a long packet so well closed on every side that it was impossible to catch the slight- est glimpse of its contents. Iam not hiaturally superstitious but there was something in the look of the letter that I did not altogether like, though I could give no reason why. However, I carried it into my cabin and stuck it under the glass of a little shabby English clock, which was fastened above my head. I was busy fixing the letter under the clock when who should come into my cabin but the convict and his wife | This was the first time I had seen either of them, and I may say that a more prepossessing couple I never met. The woman was scarcely more than fifteen and as handsome as a picture, while the hustand was an'intelligent, magnificently formed man, on whose features nature had never written 'villain.' His crime, to be plain, was the misfortune of being a hundred years ahead of his age. He iiht others bad attempted something which our government called treuson, and which is punished with death. Tt, therefore, occasioned me consider able wonder that he should be plac- cd under my charge; but more of this afterward. « He had, as I said his wife hang- ing on his arm. Bhe was as merry as a bird ; she looked like a turtle- dove cooing and nestling beneath his great wing. Before a month had passed over our heads I looked upon them as my children. Every morning I used to call thom into my cabin. The young fellow would sit writing at my table, that is to say my chest, which was my bed. He would often help me at reckoning and soon learned to do it better than I could. I was amazed at his ability. His yanng wife would sit upon one of the round stools in my cabin working at her needle. One day we were sitting in this way when I said :; * Do you know, my young ones, as it seams to me we make a very pretty family picture? Mind Tdon't mean to ask questions, but may be you have not much nionay to spare, and you are both of you, as I think, too handsome to dig in the burning sun of Cayenne, like many a poor wretch before you. It's a bad country--na bad country, take my word for it, I, who have roughed it through tempest and sonshine till I've the skin of a rhinocerous might get along there; but you I am afraid of you, So, if you ahould chance to have a bit of foolish friendship for your poor old captain. I'll tell you what I'll do. TUll get rid of this old brig she's not much better than an old tab, after all, so I'll settlé my- self down there with you if you like. You see I have not a living soul in the world to care for or that cares for me. I want felations, I want a family. Ishould like to make my home with you, my pretty one !-- What say ye!' They said nothing at all, bat sat looking first at each other and then at me a8 if they doubted whether they had understood what I bad said, At last the little bird threw her arms around my neck and cried like a baby. ' But,' said she, suddenly pausing. 'You haven't looked at tha letter with the big red seal,' 'Hang it!' Iexclaini, 'It had slipped my mind entirely.' went to my chest tosee where we were. Ifound we had several days before we should reach the proper longitude for opening the letter, not he ed horrid. ing out of its head ?' Well, there we stood all three of us, looking up to the letter as if it could have spoken to is. I could Sgyng it looked some- thing like a big monster, grinning from the middle of the tire--it look- 'Could not once fuhoy, said I make them laugh, 'its big oyes were start- 'Ab, my love,' said the wifb, 'looks like blood.' ¢ Pooh, pooh!" &aid her husband, her arm under his, 'it looks like 4 letter of invitation to a wedding. Come, come, leave the letter alone if troubles you so. Let's go to ofit room and prepare for bed. And off they went. They went upon deck and left the with that beast of a letter. T remember that I kept looking at it. I seemed to fix its great red eyes upon mine, fascinating like the eye of a serpent. It was rod, wide, raw starting liko the maw of a fierce wolf. I took my great coat and hung it over both clock 'and letter, and went upon deck. _ We were now in the vicinity of Cape de Verde Islands. I wis & splendid tropical night, the stars large and shining. Isat upon the deck smoking my pipe and looking at them. All was still execpt the footfall of the officer of the watch, gazing as I was upon the shadow of the vessel stealing over the silent wator. I love silence and order; I hate confusion and noise. The lights should all have been extingished by this time, but when I looked upon thodeck I thought I saw a little red hue of light beneath my feet. At another time and place this would have made me ahgry, but knowing that the light came from the cabin ot my little deportes, I determined to see what thoy were about.) I had only to look down--I could see into tho cabin trom the skylight. The young girl was ufioft her knees, she was saying her prayers. A lamp from the ceiling lighted ber room. She had on her long white night dress, and her fair, golden hair floated over herZshoulders, and almost touched, two little bare foet were peeping from under her white dress, sopretty. Iturncd away, but shaw ! said I, I am an old sailor !-- What matters it? So I stayed. The husband was sitting upon a little trunk looking at her as she prayed. Sho raised her oyos to heaven and then I saw that her eyes wero filled with tears. She looked like a Magdualine. As she arose he said 'Ab, my sweotest Laurdtta, as we approach America. I cannot help being anxious--I do not know why --but I feel that this voyage has the happiest part of our lives. So it seems to me,' she answered I only wish it might last forever.' Suddenly clasping his handsin a transport of love and affection he exclaimed: *And yet my angel, Isaw you ery when you say your prayers, and that I cannot stand, for I know what causes it and then I fear you must repent what you have done.' 'Repent,' she said, in a sad re- buking tone. 'Repent of having come with you? Do you thiiik be= cause 1 have been yours for such a very vety short time, that I should not love you? Was I not your wife? How can you be sorry that I should be with you, to live with you, if youn live, and to dio with you if you 'are to die?' . The young man began to sigh, striking tho floor impatiently with his feet, while he kissed repeatedly the little hand and arm he was hold ing dut. ¢ Ah, Lauretta, Lauretta! When I think if our marriage bad been delayed only five days that then I should have been arrested and and transported alone, I cannot forgive myself!' At this the little ones stretched out her round, white arms, clasped his head, and pressed his forehead, his hair, his eyes, smiling like a cherub, and murmuring all sorts of women's fond things. I was quite affected, and considered it one of the prottiest scenes I had ever witnessed. ¢ And besides we are so very rich, too I' said she bursting out laughing. 'Look at my purse, one gold louis d'or--all my worldly wealth.' He begins to laugh too. Yes, dear, 1 spent my last half crown, I gave it to the fellow who sarried our tranks on board, 'Ah, poor I she cried, 'what mat- ters it? Nobody so merry as those who have nothing at all; besides I have my two diamond rings that my mother give me; thoy are good for something ll the world over; we can sell them when you like; and besides, I am sure that the captain meant kindly by us, and I suspect he knows very well what isin the letter. It is a recommendation to the Governor of Cayenne. 'Perhaps 80; who knows ? To bo 8 good I am sure the gover it is,' cofitinued tho charming little wife: You are so 41 IWHOLE NO. 1127 banished you only for a short time. I'know they have no hard, feeling against you. SH It was' high time that the light should be stritkeén odt, and now I rapped on the deck and told them to do so. They instantly obeyed; and I beard them laughing and chittering like two innocent schoolfellows. One morning' when I awoke, I was surprised Hot to feel the slight motion of 'the vesdel, Hurrying on deck Ifound that we were becalmed. Latitude one degree north, longitude between {wenty-fevon and iwenty- eight degrees west, : 1 waited until night, whon I do- scended to my cabin and oponed the letter with a dull awful feeling. I held my breath while I broke the big red sexl and read: 'Captain Fountainbleau: The convict, Anthony Hindsclear, stands convicted of high treason against the Republic. The Directory orders that he be "shot in mid ocean, and you are hereby instructed to see thiit these ordbfs ate carried into effect. I read the letter backward and forward. I went oh deck. There they were, she looking upon the ocean, and he gazing upon her with an expression of unutterable fond- ness. Catching his eye, I signed for bim to come into the cabin, and bidding her good bye, he camo down his face all smiles. I was bathed in a cold sweat ; I'felt as if deadly sick, I handed him the letter and he read it, together with the death warrant, which was drawn in due form and attached. 'I gather- ed voice as ho finished. He colored lightly and bowed. 'I ask nothing, captain,' he said, in the sarho gentle voice that always characterized his speech; 'no man can be expected to swerve from his duty. Ionly wish to speak a few words to Laurette, and to entreat you to take care of her if she sur- vives--I hardly think she will.' 'All that is fair, my good fellow, I eried. If you request it, I will carry her back to France, to ber family. 1 will never leave her till she wishes to be rid of mo but do not think she will survive it.' He took my hind and pressed it. 'Most kind captain, I see you suf- fer moro in this matter than I do-- but there is no help for it, I trust you will preserve what little proper- ty of mire is left for her sake, and and that you will take what her poor old mother may leave her. I put her life, her honor in your bands. She is (and how fondly low bis voice became) a delicate little creature--her chest is often effected, she must keep it warm, and if she could keep the two diamond rings hor mother gave her, I should be glad, but of course, money is needed they must go. My poor Laurette how pretty she looks.' It was getting too much for me, and [ began to knit my brows. 'One word is as good as a thous- and,' I said; 'we understand each other, go to her.' I squvezed his hdnd, he looked wistfully at me, and I added: 'Stay a moment; let me give you a word of advico. Don't say a word to her be easy, that is my business. It shall be managed in the best man=- ner. 'Ah! said he, 'I don't understand, yes much better. Besides the leave taking, this leave taking!' 'Yes,' said I, "lon't behave like a child--much better. No leave tak- ing it you can bolp it, or yon are lost.' I kept my seat. I saw them walking arm in arm upon the deck for about half an hour.! 1 called the mate to me, and when he had read the letter, I said : 'Garley this is'bad business--bad business. [I put it in your hands. I obey their orders, but I remain in the cabin until it is over.' 'How do you wish the thing done ? In a noncholent manner ? ' 'Take him in a boat --out of sight, do it as quick as possible, don,t say anything of this until the time comes.' Garley sat five minutes looking at what to make of him. a word. Night came at last. be quick.' like & mad nent has me without saying a word. He was a strange fellow. I dido't know He then went out of the cabin without saying 'Man a boat,go a quarter ofa mile, To obey a slip of paper! for it was but a slip of paper after all. -- Something in the very air must have urged me on. I sd the young man kneel down beforé his Laurette, kiss her knoos! kiss ber gown! I cried p---- 'Part them | Part them this instant | Parg_ them----curse the Republic----curse the Direct. ors! I quit the service! curse tbe Lawyers | you may_tell them if you will I' ¥ She was dragged into her birth, and the boat rowed away in darkness. Some time aftera dull volley came over the sea to the vessel. It was all over, n Fool, madman ! how I paced the deck and cursed myself. All night long I paced back and forth, and all night long I heard the moaning of the poor stricken bird, Often I hated myself, and was tempted to throw myself into the sea and end this horrid torture of brain aud heart. Days paseed, I saw nothing of Lanrette,~--s I would not see her. She avoided me, and I was glad of it. I could not bear the sight of that woe-stricken fice. ~~ The mate, Garley, how I bated him! He was as cool and unconcerned as though he bad no remembrance of sheoting the poor wretch! At Cayenne I resigned my ship, going to the city, I made all my arrangemsnts, and took the steamer for New York. I placed ample funds in the hands of a trusty friend, and told him to send Laurette to me at the end of six months. I could not see her until her grief had lost its edge.
