"The Lovet's Leap,' said I, as I stood on the North shore of Cornwall, looking up at a iene headland a considerable number of feét above the sea's level, aud hangiug threateningly over its foamy surface, now there was a full tide. 'A name, I added, ¢ decidedly original and ---- 'True,' emphatically interrupted the wil handsome Cornish woman by my side, with whom I had been conversing, and who had been my informant respecting the name of the projection which I had just sketched. 'True ?' I repeated, perceiving she wad quite serious. 'Then do you remember the origin of the title ?' ¢ Pefectly. I wasa child at the time; but it made su¢h a commotion and was so. often repeated that it would almost have impress- ed a baby's memory. If you like I'll tell it you. It became a legend here ; we relate it to most travellers who care to listen.' Declaring nothing would please me better 1 put down my sketch-book and the Cornish woman and I, seated on a boulder, the sea lupping the beach a little distance off, she began as follows : ¢ About thirty years ago there lived in the village yonder, where you~ are staying, two brothers ; they were twins, yet as unlike as the sea is in calm and storm, It is sup. posed that children so born entertain a strong aftection for each other, In "that case, William and Richard Redruth were an excep- tion. They were so utterly dissimilar in character, that it would have becn impossible to Lave been otherwise, 'Richard was a handsome, open, generous hearted honest young fellow, possessed of that energy and steady application at work which is the foundation of success. William was a dark-haired, heavy browed, with a restless, roving spirit, a quick temper, and ficree, vindictive nature. Though also a fish- er, te earned little ; for he never settled steadily to it, but would start off for days.-- When he rturned it was with an empty ccaft, and a vivid feverish face, as one who had met and braved perils,' ¢ Different in everything else, unfortunate- ly, the brothers had one strong. liking 1n Semper, a fisherman's daughter, the beauty of the village, and of so gentle, kindly a disposition that even William Rudruth was an altered man in her presence. He, as well as Richard--with others for that matter, but they do not count--strove to win Mar- garct Semper's favor. At last she made her selection, and it was not only the Fandsom- est and most prosperous fisher in the village, but just the one to obtain the love of such a girl as Margaret, It was to him she gave her heart and hand, ¢ When the fact of their engagement be- came known, William Redruth and his boat abruptly disappeared. Days passed ; noth- man declared that, happening to go to" the beach late one night tor something he had left in his boat, he there saw a figure something very like William, creeping along in the darkness of the rocks, He had called to him, when the shadow had instantly van- ished. ¢ The fisher so stoutly affirmed this, enlar- ging upon the gliding, shadowy appearances that many believed William Rediuth had put an end to his lif, and that his spirit was haunting the place. 'Opinions on the point were divided, when a few mornings later the people in the vil- lage were astonished tosee Richard Redruth who had gone fishing early, returning quick- ly and unexpectedly to land. Upon his run- ning his boat on shore, he explained that he had got some distance out to wea, when he discovered it was making water rapidly. He ¢ndeavored to find where the leak was sprung, but'in vain, and with the greatest difficulty kept it above water while he tacked and made for theland. On exam- ing the boat with the fishers, it was found in a most unlikely place, while it was perfectly inaccessible to any one inside the boat. How had it come? 'Richard Redruth looked very grave, but said nothing. The village, however, formed its own opinion, for there were some who remembered to have heard William Redruth laim, ¢ If ever Margi Semper should choose my brother, before their wedding dy one or the other of us shall be beneath the sod I" ¢ The flaw was mended, a tortnight passed by, and nothing was seen of Wm. Redruth, neither his shadow nor his ghost, to which ever the Cornish mind tended. He was be- ginning indeed to be forgotten owing to an- other excitement--Margaret Semper and Richard's approaching wedd ng, the day for which had been fixed. -. '4s I have said Richard Redruth was one of the most well-to-do fishers' fii the place ; each day he worked harder and more untir- ingly, for he desired to be rich now for Mar- garct, afl no wealth he thought to great for her: Daily his boat was seen to quit the shore, and return with is shining freight, as bright as the silver it was to bring the fear~ less fisher. « Even on the eve of his marriage he made nd difference. "This is my last trip, Margaret,' he said as shé stood by him on the beach. ¢ Tomorrow you will be my own little wife | It will be a large freight Ishall bring to.night. : ¢ Fondly they embraced, never dreaming how next they should meet ; though when he, had gone, and the day stole onward, vague waves, Why did he go to-day ? she sighed --why on this the eve of our marriage 7-- The hour has long passed that he named for his retmn.' Then she remembered the cir- eumstance of that mysteridus leak, and her anxiety' drew in intensity, ¢ At last, throwing a shawl around her, she stole dgwn unperceived to the shoie. It seemed to bring her nearer her lover, as al- ready the tarkening evening was shutting the ges from sight at the cottage, 'Apparently the beach was deserted by all save herself, and with restless spirit she walked along the edge of the waters, her gaze fixed seibward; her cars keenly sensative to the gradually rising wind, and other Sotinds that declared a tempest at hand: 'Ignorant of the shadow which had been dodging her steps for some time, and was yet noiselessly following, she climbed the rock. ¢ Darker, darker grew the evening. The billows broke with a louder sound ; the wind wildly to fossing her loasened hair and shawl. Where was Richard ? ¢ Anxiously she gazed out on the storm. crest, endeavoringjto pierce the gloom. Sle pressed her hand over her eyes, then turning prepared to look again, when! with a cry of startled alarm, she sprang back ; for, stand- ing by her side, his dark features more threat- ening even than the night, was William Redruth. ¢ You fear me, Margaret, and with good causey he said coldly. 'Itis long I have been waiting such an. opportunity. Each step you have taken I have followed, until you reached this rock. Margaret Semper' he added, turning toward her, 'if you ever leave it alive, it must be after you have sworn to become my wife ?' ¢ Trembling in every limb, but by an ef. fort assuming a calm, undaunted bearing, the young girl answered, 'Are you mad, William R druth ? To-morrow is my wedding day and Richard's. Do you imagine even the fear of death could make me false to him ? 'Then here you perish |--you never shall | be his--never I "This is folly, William, and tinltke you.-- What harm have you ever received at my -- Tm Het Neat pred Before' he could "aeh around to the shore to. his out, all woubithe over. * Of, Richard dear Richard © she ane "be comforted.

In springing ¢ from the rock, his head must have struck violently against some hidden boulder ; for" the next morning when the tide went down he was found drowned, with a wound on' his temple, at the very foot of the Lovaid : Lzary ---- ptr Hotel Keeepers" Responsibility A case of considerable importance to importance to Hotel Kucpers was tried af * the Wentworth assizes last week with the following results, AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY VS, Caf2, Plaiutiff claimed to recover damages for hands that you should treat me thus I' ¢ The greatest--your rejection of me for him.'

'Brother I" he interrupted fiercely, 'brother! --yes ; 1 wilBaccept that affection, Margaret Semper, but from you as Richard Redruth's wife never--never--never |' ¢ The wild ener, of his manner augment. her alarm, and passing him strove to quit the rock, but catching her wrist Le held her with a grasp of iron. 'No,' he said, I have sworn it I' 'She shricked aloud. ¢ Your cri she s are useless,' he remarked ; winds and tlie waves are my 'the allies, scream as you may, you cannot be heard, + Kneeling at his feet, yet in his clasp, she prayed, implored, upbraided and entreated ; William Redruth had but one answer--¢ Be mine, and you are fe ; if not youdie I' % ¢Oh, William, William!' she wept, ¢ once you said you loved me--can you fthen treat | me thus? | "Jt is because I love--because I will never see you his | he rejoined hoarsely -- ¢« Look, Margaret, and reflect speedily, for the | base of the rock is already surrounded! © Looking around, she saw Lis words were true; the with horror waves with i) dancing, mocking crest, were on"€ach side of her. « ¢ Mercy, mercy !' she shrieked. «t For the last time I ask you Margeret-- will you renounce Richard and be mine. « No I'she answered, dropping exhausted | desparing exhausted at bis feet.

He must wait long for his bride, {to-morrow.' ¢ William--William Redruth I" she cried ¢ do not leave me.' ¢ But already he had sprung into 'he waters--she was left on the rock alone. «It was a fearful time that followed al- most beyond deseription--certainly enough to banish reason. Margeret shricked and prayed. The uproar of the elements sent her words back upon herself apppearing to mock her agony. These frantic moments were interspersed by brief intervals of calm wherein the past swept before her like a panorama, ¢ All the while the moments slipped by and the waves rose higher and higher; at last one dashed over the rock and did not retreat, It left her feet in the water; the rock was beginning to be covered, ¢ Wildly, desparing, she flung out her arms and prayed for succor--for mercy. -- Then, kneeling, helplessly wept. ¢ 1t was hard to die thus ; made harder by the knowledge that the morrow was her wedding day. ¢ Now the waves began to break over her threarening to hurl her from the rock. -- Madly ¢he strove to cling to it, but ber hands, so tied" rendered her almost powerless, Ina few minutes all must be 'over, Tha holy joy of the coming morning so filled her heart, she feared 'anything occurring that should now part her and Richard. "Noon passed, evening drew on, and with it dark, threatening clouds,' presaging storm, sun set to sweep up as a funeral pall over the heavens, while the leaden' soa beneath moaned as one in trouble, 'Eagerly, with anxious heart, Margaret | scanued the broad expanse in search of Richard's boat.
