' Tho Rtrnngest puvt of this Bingu- hxr matrimonial ntrug(;lo is still to bo reluted, for it did not end -in marriage after all 1 ' . What art thiB particular villain used, is little Co the purpose. Suf fice it to suy, that Lucy; placed her entire property in Oarston's hands, and, her parents being dead, there \vi\h no one to watch her interests.- Tlie ca'.astropho is doubtless nil- Iticipatuil. One,-week before tho [ day appointed for tho wedding, .Lucy received the astounding in telligence that Oarsttin, acting un der tlio power of attorney she had given him, had converted every ucto of her estate into cash, an5 had departed with it to parts un known.' So well had lie covered up his -track, that no clue to his' whereabouts could be discovered,, and jthe (unfortunate gitl was oblig ed to nefcept the bitter verity that she Lad lost her fortuue as well as all her lovers. Lucy -Ellurslie was a Yankee girl, however, -and her misfortune by no means \>roko her spirit. -The house in which she lived wris still left,..to her, not having bee'li; given to the wi-etch, and th<3 sale~{>laced hev in possession oi something; more than one thousond doll'nrs'. With this sum she at once- left the yjljage, telling her friends, that kIio was going to wojjc in some distant place, us she could no longer live where idio had Wen eo cruelly deceived. : * ^- ' *! . - :* -_.-! At the close'of a Hi^.try Summer tltiy in the yt-ar 18'ol,,two truvek-rs were-seated by a small lire kindled on! the batik . of-" a\ considerable stream, at the bottom of a rocky canon, which ptJietrated if. spur of tho#Co.ist Range Mountains, in Marin .- County, California.

"To tell tho truth,' John,.I never bolioved in it, but you \yi;ro so finger that I did not like to disappoint you ; and, be sides," ho added, in a graver tone, " I'vo no special object iii life now, iind wild-goose chasing has us nmii)' attractions for mo us any more profitable pursuit." " You think too much of that gill, Ralph," said John, in a, tone -of contempt that proved him-.heart- whole again. " There nro hundreds of better women than Lucy Ellers lie." Stanton made no reply, and-the comrades sank into a silent reverie. " Very singular that tho Indian, should have been so precise in his description, of tho laud marks, if there was no truth in the story," Benson soliloquised, audibly, after a long silence. " The ' Diggers ' are'not famous for imagination, and his description never varied. Le mo see," he added, in a musi tone, us if lepeating from memory, " a rocky canon, in the form of a triangle, .with u rapid stream in tlio centre ; a stunted; oak tree, on a mound near the centre, its top shalttrod by lightning ; five red' nood trcca in a semicircle- behind it bring the oak in a- line with the centre redwood, and you will see two siugulaily 'shaped rocits projecting from tlio cliff that forms the western side of the canon " At this point in his solilotjuy, to hi3 unbounded ^^stonishnieiit, he KiitiVred a startling interruption. Ralph Had been reclining at full length on his 'blanket, his right elbow on the ground, and his cheek supported by his ,palm.
