TUE DEATH LEAP. In thc State of New York, ten years nj aiiii on the banks of the Hudson, nut rna miles above its mouth, lived Graham Stil a retired money-broker; rich, proud and u scrupulous. He was past his sixtieth yet of spare but sinewy frame, and with co! steel-gray eyes that glittered with a resile uneasy glance irum beneath close drawn ai ?buggy brows. * lits house was large, though occupied or. by himself and un invalid widow lady, wi lior daughter, ba-ides a few servants. None, ?-uve himself, knew why Graba Stiles lind given shelter for so many years ; be Widow L-:c ai,d her daughter Emily, i Emily grew from lovely girlhood into, st more krvdy womanhood, becomingllre exa counterpatt of her mother, Graham Stil ouud the hard faCtd demon of Avarice yid inp ample room in his bosom lor thc si ft passion of love. This prompted him to s .Unie her as much as possible from socict ihat be nii^ht so cduca'.e her that she shou look upon Lim more as a iriend than as guardian, and that step attained, to becon both friend and ?over. . In the summer cf 1850, Graham Stiles w strolling, at sunset, upou the grassy lawn th bordered thc lofty banks of the Hudson, ch ling bitterly with the consciousness that E*J ?ly ruther shunned than esteemed hun ; who hearing voices as if from the luce of tl ! rocky bank, he drew near and looked ca tiously down. -Not hw feel below him, scated upon l?dge of rock coaled with soft and thick! growing moss", sat Emily Loo and a handson young man of twomy-i'our or live years i age, named William Lewis, convening in tone gentle and thrilling, yet. distinctly aud ble to the keen ears so jealous above. G tahara Stiles set his teeth hard, and h cheek grew ashy white, while his kuotte brows grew crimson red, as he saw that th beautiful girl rested ber head upon the) mat ly shoulder of her compnuion, whose ari encircled her waist with an accepted lover freedom. The listener soon learned that th love of the youthful pair had teen plightci Some of the remarks of William were so tn complimentary to S'i!r-s, that he made h presence known by an angry exclamation. Thc levers were upon thiir feet in an it s'ant, and Wilh'e-found ni! his muscular nc:-.: necessary to sustain the fbi rn of Emily, a they climbed thc tugged path leading to th ?awn above. "Had you not listened you would hav been all the merrier,'' said Willie, as b?5t?o< .tear Gr.br.ni Si?es. ,;I love this young lad; -have loved her for months. She loves mc Face him. Emily ! Ile is a man, and so an I. You seem to have some gtnrdiaushi; (vcr her, real or assumed, and so I ask you ti consent to our marriage. Task nothing bu herself, for I have enough." Graham Stiles had listened to this speed with his usually icstless eye- fixed upon tb frank and handsome visage of thc sloop < wn -r, as if bc longed to turn bim to slime, t' lust, to any thing that he might set his foo aron, arid as Willie cmc!ud<.d, he pressed hi sharp tee:!: hard upon the nether lip. until ; Imp of deep red blood trickled down upni his chin. Yet ho answered nothing to Wil ?ic, but turning to Emily, hesuid. wi tb a burg. >f wrath that expanded into a shrill screan of rage " To your mother, ungrateful girl! andi vcr again y. a d ire to oxchange a word i ?';M OP willi this presumptuous, insolent rascally-" .. fcleadj, ns you arel'' said Willie, "or? maj forget the- color of your bair, and thiel [ am sirikinga bully of a misty morning." "Go, Willie," pleaded Emily. "I may ?tem ur grateful in his eye6-perhaps I am -but I have no serf drep in my veins to bi hus addressed, and I tell you that I love you i< re before him, and will ever love you, Willie Lewis. Wc shall meet again." She gave cr band to her lover as they parted, she go ng rapidly towards the house, he towards thc path that lid to the river road ; but first he xchai ged a defiant glance with his enemy, iud said " Neither you, nor a hundred like you, can take her love from rae, Graham Stiles." " There'll be blood from your heart or mine when we meet again, William Lewis,'' muttered the other, as be turned upon bis heel and paced alowlj towards the house, plan nilig and scheming a way to remove formidable obstacle. When Emily reached her mother's s she was surprised to see the invalid sittinj her arm chair, with the clear and unmistc able light of fully restored reason in her e; and a flush i joy upon her pale cheeks, t seemed like the heart of some inward i lasting rapture., " Oh, mother," cried Emily, " you lc so well, so happy 1 you have not lool 60 since poor father was lost at sea, tea ye ago." "You remember the day, the dark and 1 ter day, my child," replied tbe mother, ; with a voice clear aud musical, "when were told of our great, cur infinite loss 1 1 were but a child, eight years old, and then lived in New York." '. Mother, mother !" exclaimed Emily,cla ing ber pnrertt's neck, ?>nd kissing her fonri "you have regained ooe-fcali of all I lost th for, dear mother, you have regained your r son. I pray cur heavenly Father that it rr never wander a ain." li I feel that U will not, my child. "i listen to me, and bear what lins, by the mci o? God, restored my long lost reason. T years ago we were happy in Now York, I each day we looked to see your dear fall: return ; and when his ship was signaled in t bay, do you remember how we romped a dauced ?" "Ah, mother, do not recall it now," sobb Emily, as her mind sketched the scene wi memory's unfailing pencil. "Then came, not. your father, but Graba Stiles, who haa been his mate. Ile told i that your, father Lad been blain arning tl islands of the Pacific by the savages, and th you had no father, I no husband, we nu hom and theu I swooned, to revive and swot again, aud so on I suffered till my reason w: deserting me, and I conscious that I was gi ing mad, and fiercely struggling against tb; madness ; but mad I grew, to grow half sar .gain, a's I Lave been for ten years, till tb evening, when, as if from the grave-as from beaven, rather-came he who siam behind you." Emily, who was kneeling before her mothel sprang-to her feet and turned swiftly arottnt There, with anns wide outstretched, wit eyes that beamed like Mars, stood a tall an noble featured m in, '.Lough his hair was a white as .snow, and many a furrow of tim and grief crossed his face. " My daughter I My Emily 1" said th stranger. " My father ! dear, dear fat lier !" cried Etr i ly, as she sprang within tho-e fund amit which clamped her to a bosom bursting to giv vent toa father's love, pent up for manydrea ry, weary years. " Yes," said be, when transport bad yieldt to gentle and unalloyed delight, "i have a last returned to imppin?ss,- after having birt uiost mticrnble for ten long years.

I And kissiug.his wik-and daughter, Captain I Henry Lee ?t? pped from the bouse to meet hi.; ! betr.r. cr. Pacing moodily, with eyes bent .to the earth, aud his hands ela>ped behind him, Graham Stiles was KIOWII alvant-ing. He, miserable wretch, was dreaming then of mur der! Haunted already by the conv'ction thnt Captain Lee's life lay red and damning upon his bande, be did not scruple to scheme for thc ppeedy commission of another. " Wi?iiam Lewis must die ! or my heart, newly born to second iife bytccond love, will turn to gull at:d ashes in my bosom,1' be mut tered. "I have gold, and gold will kill as well as lead or steel.

He Hfted his eye* with a spasmodic jerk of the shaggy brows, a3 if thc voice that spoke that uaroo hail been a dagger, thrust iuto the very conj of his heart. A shriek, a yell of horror-wild, piercing and unearthly-pealed from his livid lips, a's bis blood sprang to his heart in one mighty spasm of terror, leaving his hair on end, bi) faco like a bleached bone, and his limbs quiv ering in thc awful ague of guilt born dread. '. Henry Lee!" ho chattered from his dan cing jaws, and then fled-mindless, reckless, devil doomed-straightand fleet for the river's lofty, rock-pointed bank; and then, with a shrill scream of unutterable agony and des pair, he sprang headlong from the cliff. He opened his eyes but once-ho gasped but fur a second, but ere bis dizzy brain grew dark , and slill forever, he recognized the pitying I face of William Lewis bending over him, I and remembered his threat, now made a fatal fact: " There'll be blond from your heart or minc, when we meet ayain, William Lewis lie was buried where he died ; and thc children of William Lewis and Emily Leo can now look down from the lovers' seat on j j tho ledge and see the grave, as their grand i 1 parents tell this tragic tale.

We have, A few days since, . ^ wbileona visit to the White Sulpliur Baths," j thc proprietor informed me that at night ho j intended to give a ball and -supper to the j 1 rmployce: of his establishment, including j those who had remained faithful to their I trusts during die receut "strike," and those j 1 who had taken the places and performed the ! S ditties of the rrCreai'l ones who had been 1 driven away indirgrace. Afrer tea we stroll- 1 ed out to the ball room, which we found bril- v liant ly* lighted and f?led with an assembly of f mixed odors. The guests of the establish- 1 ment were seated an>und the room, interest- r pd spectators of thc amusing scene, while on f thc floor the negroes and rheir invited friends 8 were whirling away to thc inspiring strains 1 ot the music. Corks, chambermaids, nurses, washerwomen, and fi-ld bands were mingled together, dressed in ihe very best that their ? wardrobe? could afford. Round jackets, claw hammer and pigeon tail coats, of various styles, on the men, were set off by the muslins, tarletans, calicoes, til ters, flounces', furbelows, ribbons, wreaths ind waterfall of the women.

But :he most noted figure in the group was. the .chef de cuisine." whic'i, vulgarly interpre ted, means " head cock." With a fkin as , alack as night and as alick as a billiard balli 8 i figure that did not belie his calling, and Jrcsscd ?a a stylo, becoming his figure, he looked every inch like a black Count Fosco Disdaining thc stately walking, which is mis- ^ named dancing in these latter days, he pirout ted with a grace and precision which would h.ave reflected cn dit upon the ballet master of the 41 Black Crook."

Amid speeches, tout?, and Eculimcnts. ssr ilines, marmaUdes, ices, cakes, and jellies, f were disposed of, and the order was given, "On with the dance," ^ and the ball rcom again re-echoed to the sounds of music, and trembled under thc rapid steps of the dancers. Just at 12 o'clock, thc leader of the band tapped his violin and notified tho company j that he could not violate either his own con viciions or the proprieties of life by flotirish ing his bow on the'Sabbath, and silence like 1 ii pall suddenly f> ll nj.oa thc scene.
