The captain of the Royal Charley had made up his mind to sight land off Porto-Rico, and about a fortnight after the terrible tragedy which had sadden- ed the whole voyage, was on the look- out for the little island of Sombrero. There was scarcely a breath of Wind upon the waters, the breeze which had brought them along right merrily for some days was gradually dying away, the heavens looked sultry and scorch- ing, the sun seemed ready to burn up the decks, the sails flapped lazily against the masts, the wind not hav- ing sufficient strength to fill them. The brig for hours scarcely obeyed the helm. and presently swung round, wholly un- heedful of the efforts of the man at the wheel. There was a dead calm. Nothing is more unpleasant than aship at sea in a calm. The waves are never still, and the vessel, uninfluenc- ed by the sails, rolls and pitches in the most fearful manner. Now she rises on a wave, and plunges headlong down it: then she catches a mountain bilâ€" low on her broadside, which sends her yards almost dipping in the waves,while the masts seem ready to be torn from their sockets with the violence of the shaking. A dead calm, with a heavy sea. on. will do more injury to a ves- sel than even a storm. Captain Montrose was aloft with Josh, whose powers of vision were remark- able; Sir Reginald stood beside the pale and mourning Eleanor; lHenry Pos- tans walked the deck with gloomy brow; while the other passengers stood ., or eat about, holding on to belaying-' pins and ropes. Not a word was spok- en. All were waiting for the long pro- mised cry of land, and even more im- patiently still for a breath of wind to fill the sails and send them on their way. The Commonwealth officer, who. by the way, had dropped, if he had ever adopted, the peculiar phraseology of his party, spoke an occasional word in a whisper to Eleanor. who seldom answer- ed except by a nod. She dwelt in silâ€" ence on the dreadful fate which had befallen her father. Vague. wild, and strange suspicions floated through her brain. That her father had been mur- dered was quite evident. Then came the fatal question, asked, in a termâ€" fied whisper, by whom? and it can- not be denied that the thoughts of Eleanor Bowen fell upon her two suit- ors. Her suspicions, ihowever, took neither body nor shape; they floated dreamily through the mind, and, un- able to fix any thing real or substan- a marine (airy. A picturesque eye would have thought that a. dolphin hhd . lent its quick and elegant form for t 2 careen. Light as the seaâ€"gulls tha fltited around it, there was no breezte so gentle but what moved it. No ma t her how rough the sea, it cared no for it. When another vessel was .laboring heavily in the trough of the isea. or was breaking amidships on the i curling top of a wave, the cutter seem- !ed to choose its own way, and to skate from wave to wave like a stone cast along the smooth surface of a lake. Its decks never were washed by the tem- pest, for it rose light as the very ocean foam, and looked as if it could have been carried away by a stiff breeze on i to the very land. ! Its decks were crowded by armed men, and as it neared the brig, keep- ing out of the range of the Royal Charley’s guns, it heisted its .colors. a blood-red flag with a huge white star in the middle. Captain Montrose ansâ€" wered by hanging out the banner of lold England. A single gun from the iLone Star was all the reply, and then the’ sweeps were put in active motion. ,and the schooner prepared to cross the ! broadside of the brig, as if to board by the bow. In five minutes more the ,Lone Star was close under the guns 'of the larger vessel, but apparently :too low down in the water to be hurt lby them. I “Stand by your guns!" thundered lCaptain Montrose; “take aim at the lrascal’s deck!" _ .. ”Not! a shot, as ye love your lives! cried Sir Reginald, suddenly leaping upon the bulwarks just as the sch-00n- er’s head turned round toward the bows of the brig. Every eye on board both vessels was l now fixed on the mysterious stranger. : who, holding by the mainâ€"rigging With g his left hand, unfolded a small flag in Ihis right, and waved it aloft: It was :a. milk-white banner with a Single red star: in the centre. A frantic shout of joy instantly burst from the decks of the beautiful schoon- er, which began pulling toward the brig with even greater rapidity than before. “\Vhati orders, sir 8" presently shout- one from the deck of the Lone Star. touching his hat. as he spoke, and 'bring- ing the Lone Star to a standâ€"still. "Send W'illiams on board,” replied the stranger, who then resumed his p051- tion on the deck of the Royal Charley. "Ay, ay. sir." continued the man from the other deck, and next minâ€" ute a shrill whistle was heard, a slight bustle became visible, and then a long, naI'I‘OVV, eight-cared cutter was launchâ€" ed and manned. I Every man on board the Royal Char- ley stood transfixed with astonishment. Their surprise was so great, that they no longer thought of defence. Cap- tain Montrose stood speechless, with knib‘ brow and clenched fists; Eleanor gazed wildly at the stranger ; and Hen- ry Postans advanced fiercely toward him. He trembled with passion. “Bloodyâ€"minded pirate !” said the young man menacingly, "we are in tial upon either, she said nothing. Had. your power, but nevertheless do I ac- however, a searching investigator have pried into her most secret thoughts, it would in all probability have been found that the bias of her mind was against her cousin. “Sail oh!” suddenly exclaimed Josh in aloud voice; and then he added, “Yes, sail ohi yahl” cure you of the murder of my uncle.” “Every man in this vessel," replied Sir Reginald calme and coldly, “is free, and when I have given orders to my men to keep in the same waters. I shall go my way with you; and if you “fill, you can accuse me before the governor of Jamaica. Freebooter I am " Where away?” asked the captain but not bloody-minded. I wage war on from the main-top gallant sail yard, while Sir Reginald moved rapidly to- ward the after-mast main-shroud and looked out. “Two pomts on de starboard bow, massa,” answered the mulatto, who was on the foretopsail yard. "Is she moving f” Spaniards only, except when a vessel 0 Charles Stuart comes in my way. and then I avoid her not. Accuse me not, young man,” he added, in a solâ€" emn and earnest tone; ”rather look into your own. heart, and ask if that be stainless." Henry i‘ostans stepped back, pale as “Comin' along like fun," replied the death, his face actually blanched with black; “she got long legs." ' The captain eagerly pointed his long horror. “Iâ€"-I accused!”â€"â€"-â€"H‘e said no more, glass in the direction designated by the bull h’urried away to the opposite side mulat’lo. Sir Reginald quietly assum- ed his position alongside of Eleanor, and the passengers were all attention. A sail at sea after a long voyage is an event. Scarcely had Ca tain Montrose caught sight of the cm t first seen by the negro, than he came down from aloft, and calling Sir Reginald and his offi- cers on one side, proceeded to hold council. He was certain. he said, that the vessel bearing down upon them was a pirate. a buccaneer. Her moving along with sweeps at a rapid rate showed that she was well manned, and he proceeded to ask advice as to what should be done. All hands were gen- eral in their first idea, and Captain Montrose, accordingly. closely furled, which might render them almost invisible except to good glasses. Sir Reginald said little. He leaned against the stern, where they stood. and listened. _ “\Vhat say you ’3" cried the skipper, suddenly addressing him, after all the others had spoken. “Let the drum beat to quarters, and let passengers and crew prepare to right like men.” The tone of the Commonwealth sol- dier was electrifying. and his wishes were at once orders. The drum beat to quarters, the fearful intelligence run through the ship 1that a pirate was close at hand, and all save the women eagerly prepared for defence. Eleanor expressed a wish. however, to remain on deck until the last moment, and on a sign from Sir Reginald, the skip- per complied. The bustle was prodigious for a while. The guns were uncovered and loaded, muskets, swords, pikes, and cutlasses were brought on deck, and all proceedâ€" ed to arm themselves. Not a man showed any sigh of flinching save Henry Postans, who shrank from the weapons offered him. and walked the deck in still moodier silence than usual. On came the strange vessel, and be- fore everything was quite ready, it was clearly. visible from the deck. From that moment its advance was rapid toâ€" ward the motionless brig The splashâ€" ing sweeps could soon be distinguished dipping with tremendous rapidity in- to the water, and then the shape and form of the supposed pirate became dis- tinct. ‘All stood watching its advance with intense anXiety. Every man was at his post, and ready for the fray; and yet when the schooner came withâ€" in a few hundred ards, all stood in mute admiration. t was more like an elegant pleasure-boat than a pirate craft. Nothing could be lighter, more racious. or more supple. It was a per- ect' miniature of the most splendid forms. of naval architecture, and seemâ€" ed as if built for a model- and not for use. It' .was almost aerian in its move-~ ments, as if it had been the work of had all sailsi of the ship, and resumed both his gloidy Silence and his walk along the co . . “Boat alongside, sir,” said the man lat. the rgaingway, l SLI‘ Reginald immediately made signs lfor the officer in the cutter to come 3 on deck aloneâ€"an order instantly obey- :cd.

But he of the Lone Star was no common pirate. The sailor advanc- ed toward his officer, and for five min- Irites they spoke together in whispers. Then the buccaneer turned away, and Wirthout'addressing a word to any one on deck, went down the side, entered his boat, and pulled away. A few minutes later a light breeze arose, scarcely sufficient, however, to urge the brig along. the contrary, spread its milk-white sails, thin, to all appearance, as sheet- ing, and away she sped over the waters like a. graceful swan, . t . _ Of the land. m be direction The schooner, on CHAPTER V. Captain Montrose as soon as all his sails were loosened, his helm once more governing the brig, advanced res- pectfully toward Sir Reginald, and cor- dially thanked him. He said that the fortunes of himself and family were wholly in the Royal Charleyâ€"that had she been captured, and sent to Turtle Island, he had been a ruined man. Un- der the circumstances, he owed, he said, an eternal debt of gratitude to the ex- Cornmonwealth officer. ’lhecaptain of the Lone Star, after receivmg these thanks in public, drew the skipper and Eleanor on one side, despite the v1s1ble reluctance of the latter, and leaning against the bul- warks, briefly addressed them. He ex- plained that, deprived of active employ- ment by the fall of Richard Cromwell, and Violently opposed to the existing government, be yet could not live without something to excite and move his mind. .He and some of his party had, he said, conceived the notion of founding a small independent common- wealth on the Spanish Main, and had been some time recruiting among their scattered forces for the purpose. In the mean time, he being wealthy, had bought a vessel,_ picked a crew, and spent two years in search of a fitting place _to commence operations. He neâ€" cessarily came in constant contact with Spanish ships, and never avoided a fight. He, however never attacke‘d English merchantmen, and the Lone Star had only com across their path by orders. They Were directed to lie across the Mona passage, and board every vessel in search of himself, or news of him, M if unfortunately he had been discov- ' ' land. . _ “Rigid Eggs you still this scheme in your head?” said Captain Montrose, . . k d curiously 3.1: him. while Eleanor 10%eiiend3 upon Circumâ€" “That wholly . inald. “There stances,” replied Sir is one thing would make me ask leave live uietl in England, quit all my ambittioiis hogan, and become once more the English baronet,_ lord of the man: or. and perhaps knight of theushire, but that rests not With myself. Eleanor turned away toward the sea to hide her extreme conquion, for des- pite her intense mental suffering, she could not resist the influence of the tyrant passion; and Captain Montrose, after a significant pressure of the hand left them together. Postans stood still and gazed at them from a d'stance. _ l“Miss Bowen.” said the freebooter in a low. anxious tone. “it is very soon, afterso fatal an event. to speak 0f may riage or love; but before I leave this ship my fate must be decided. If you hearken to my prayer, and accept my hand, my fortune, and the name of La- dy \Voolaston. I shall return to Eng" land at once. and the interest of my friends will save me from any thms but an order to reside in .the country, but if you refuse me, I 30111 my .merry rovers. and for the rest of my life be- come a skimmer of the seas, a bucca- neerâ€"if you will, a pirate. . “Sir Reginald,” repllad Eleanor blt‘ te-rly, "my father has been dead but twenty days, and would you have me speak of marriage?" l "Eleanor. dear Eleanor! you have to decide a question of life and death to me. I ask not to have you fix 3 per- iod for our union; I ask only hope for the future.” . _ "Sir Reginald, is there not ringlng in my ears the fearful accusation brought against you by my cousm? “And you do believe”â€"- . “Oh. no!” cried the young lady With all the deep touching confidence of a woman’s heart, and speaking ina rich. full voice. that left no ground for mis- take- “Oh. no! But what would the world say of me accepting the address- es of one accused of murdering my fa- ther? Sir Reginald, ask mic no more until this question is at rest, and_the assassin is discovered. Then, believe me, Eleanor Bowen will not refuse the protection and home of a man she canâ€" not help loving.” . I “That word is enough,” said the free- booter, “and on that promise shall I now live. It seems that just as I was returning to my Wild life, after a brief absence, fortune has thrown in my way a gleam of sunshine, which I cannot but eagerly catch at. Be my wife, dearest Eleanor, and you will make me once more a useful member of society; and I shall forget in your company the broils and wars which have so long stained the fair face of England,” “I have. said much, Reginald,” replied Eleanorâ€"“too much perhaps, under the circumstances; ask no more of me.” The countenance of the Ironside lit up with a smile of joy and confidence. The word Reginald, without the 811‘, was to him sufficient. wished for no more. They remained, however, in conversation on other top- ics for hours, and ceased only when summoned to the evening meal. They sat side by side; and the captain of the Lone Star interested both her and the whole company by his vivid narratives of adventure by sea and land. There was at first a certain degree of stiff- ness on the part of the passengers to- ward the renowned pirate of the Gulf; but. his urbanity of manner, his elo- quent and elegant. language, soon chained their attention, which then could not be taken off. He so frank- ly explained his peculiar piratical opâ€" erations. conducted with a view chief- ly to the persecution of England’s hereditary foes, the Spaniards, that his companions ended by approving instead of disapproving his proceedings. Henry Postans alone held wholly aloof from him. In the mind and character of this young man a term- bio and fearful change had been workâ€" ed. All his quiet and goodâ€"natured gayety was gone, and it was imposs1ble for the dullest observer not to be aware that he was devoured not. only by deep grief, but by remorse of which was either a scowl or a look of terror. No one ever spoke to him, and as the end of the journey drew near every man avoided him, for the. same fearful suspicion pervaded all minds. (To be Continued.)

The train was roaring along about forty miles an hour, and the conductor was busily punching tickets full of holes, whenalittle thin old man who sat? in one of the corner seats plucked his sleeve. _ “Mister Conductor, you be sure and let me off at Speers Station. You see, this is the first time I ever rode on steam cars, and I don’t know any- thing ’bout them. You won’t forget it‘, eh ?" '- “All right, sir; I won’t forget." The old man brushed back a stray Rack of hair and. straightening him- self, gazed with increasing wonder at the flying landscape, everynow and then exclaiming, “Gracious!" “By gum !" etc. > : Suddenly there was a crash, and af- ter a number of gymnastic moves that made him think of his school days, he found himself sitting the embankment alongside the track; Seeing another passenger sitting a. short distance away, patiently support- ing various parts of the splintered car across his legs, he inquired: “Is this Spears Crossing ?” The passenger, not altogether new- to such happenings, replied, with a. smile, although in considerable pain :- “No; this is catastrophiel." “Is that so." he irritably exclaimed. “Now I knew that conductor would put me of;‘_: at the wrong place."

He was appointed to a professorship at Seina, which he left owing to the larger gal- ary and greater opportunities offered him by the University of Montevideo. It is expected that his discovery will be followed by that. of the means of destroying or neutralizing the effects of the bacillus. . â€"-â€".â€"â€"â€"â€". CRESTS AND STATIONERY.
