LOVE IN DEATH.
A mother pits by a lowly grave,
A hillock small and green,
With two gray stones at the head and feet,
And the daiscd turf between.
Silent she sits in that place of graves,
As if tranced in a dream of prayer, *
And her hand plays with the rustling grass, |
. As with the curls of an infant's hair.
j ' Does she think of the time when she hushed it
V'f ' soft, "
cradled lullabies?
it hung on her teeming breast,
V^With a smile in its laughing eyes?
Otytb en she touched with a loving hand
(When itssu nny years were three)
Tho lamb-like fhcce cf its flaxen locks
V "As it prayed beside her knee?
Or the hour whoa a sad and simple pall
Was borne from the cottage door,
And its dancing step was never heard
Again on the cottage floor?
Does she fondly image a cherub sliapo
'Mid a shining angel band,
With her star-crovn'd Jocks and garments white
And a li}y hi its-hand?
Silent her thought:but at.twilight hour
Ever she sitteth there,
And her hand olt play s with the curling grass, ;
As with curls of an infant's linrr. j

It was impossible even for a heart so selfish
as that of our.Maroon, wholly to resist a confidence
?o sweet and touching. The wild grace
of her action, the spiritual delicacy of her love,
the delightful companionship with which she
cheered his solitude, all succeeded, in the ahso
nee of any absolute temptations, to secure his
continued devotion to her charms.
But a change was destined to cast its shadow
over their otherwise happy dreams. Three
weeks ofdelight, with little interval, and scarcely
any respite, hud passed since they first knew
each other. No doubt of the security, as well
as transport, of her condition, assailed the heart
of the Indian damsel ; and if the Spaniard ever
thought of his home, it was. only as one oft hose
vexing fancies, which, as he could scarcely
hone to realize it. it was but childish to encour.

whilst our wealthy Maroon was still engaged
in the cleansing ami assorting of his treasure,

of terror in her lace, lie hastily put his pearls

ol the. cavern. There, in the sea-monster

This'wa> an European vessel. It might,
it must be :i Spaniard ; but it was stiii at too
great a distance to enable Itiin to solve his
doubts, or to relieve or increase his apprehensions.
It was evidently approaching his islet; '

our Maroon, with the trembling Amaya beside

to describe the leeling at his heart, embodied
in his looks and actions, by its gentlest
name; and her own terrors increased accordingly.

of her true character, Lopez do Levva rapidly ,
ran over in his mind the prospects of his condilion
; tin; probable object ot the Diuu de Uurgos,
and the cllbot of this return upon his for- 1
tunes. W hat had he to iiope Iroin Velasquez or
the implacable Juan, his rival ? What motive
hut that of mockery and a cruel curiosity would
have brought either of llieui hack to the spot
where they had marooned him? And should
they search tor him what was his hope ot concealment?
lie could hide froin the Caribbe

their own, hut Irom the people of the Dian de
i5urj>os there was no concealment. They
would search the island ? they would discover
the cavern, and jiol one of its crevices could he I
made safe against their penetrating eyes or their
probing lances. <
A cold sweat covered the limbs of the miser- I

the whole ground of his condition. And yet,
it will scuieely lie believed thai, thus doulaful !
ot his own fate, lie could yet think of concealing !
his newly gotten treasure. He hurried back
into his cave, counselling Aniaya still to main |

his ha>kets of treasure along the ledge and con- i
cealed thetii in like inaoner. Nothing but the
closest seaicii, uutJer tin- stimulating influence
ol a suspicion that something was concealed,
could have led to the discovery o| his possessions.
There was no way of hi ling himself in i
the same manner, and, full of the most horrible
apprehensions, be joined A may a upon the ;
it was now necessary to think of her. Should |
Velasquez suspect the treasure, should Juan oil- i

violence. To conceal her, it was necessary ,
that the cave should lie kept from their knowledge.

and easily persuaded her to seek shelter in its

policy, trembling still to eticbuuler the cruel

Maroon resolved. Ho continued his watch in
secrecy, though passing from copse to copse; he
left the neighborhood of his cavern, as the chew,
it flies always from the spot where her young
are hidden.
; The vessel approached that part of the island
where he had been landed. This increased his
fears that she was that of his tyrant. If he came
to inock, it was the game of Lopez to implore
and seem repentant. If to pardon, it was his
policy rather to appear surly and provoke his
enemy to continued hostility ; for, though anxious
to reach Spain with his treasure, yet our
Maroon well knew that, with Juan or Velasquez
as a master, the very suspicion of his great
possessions would be fatal to his iifft. Letter.

These, for once at least, proved favorable to
bis fortunes. We have already detailed the
fearful circumstances which bad changed the
dynasty on board the Dian de Burgos. Linares
and Maria de [Pacheco were now the masters,
but the former had no control over the proud
and intelligent spirit by whom the whole pro
needing had been counselled. IIn was a mere
seaman?a hold, strong man, who, conscious
of his own deficiencies, was not unwilling to
supply them from the stores of one who had so
much identified her fortunes with his own.?
Stic asked lor little in return, and that he was
disposed to accord. He was the captain of the
ship, hut she was the guiding spirit. He. did
not seek her affections. On this point, indulgent,
perhaps on all others, she had shown herself
equally resentful and indexible. JJut, it
will suffice for us that they understood each
other, and that Linares lent himself to her
projeet of rescuing Lopez. The latter had hut
little esteem among the seamen, hut he had been
harmless, was really geutle in his nature in
proportion as he was timid in his punishment
had won their pity and their sympathies. The j

Impatient, on the prow nfthe Dian d? Burgos,
stood the proud hut anxious woman as the
ship approached the shore, Concealed among
a cluster of young palms Lopez beheld her;
and in the position which she held, her eager
attitude aini outstretched hand, he at once iuferred
some great change in her fortunes and
his own. lii.s heart was instantly strengthen-!
ed. fie came forth fr??rn his hiding place, and j
the ship, dropping her anchors, Maria de Pacheco
was the tirst to descend into the boat i
which now hurried to the shore. We need :
attempt to depict her laptures or his own. in i
her case they were those of a strong, impetu- j
uus nature?iter fondness heiug linked with an '
arrogance o| will, which rather compelled and j
commanded, than solieited uliectiou m return.
The submissive spirit of the "Maroon" did not !
dare ti? withhold the expression of a joy, and'
the dee la ration of an attachment beyond any ;
which he possibly could leel. Perhaps, there j
was much more in the gentle and dependent j
iiutuie ot A may a, to persuade him into love, i
than in that of the imperious woman whom he |
had certainly learned to tear. iS.jl she brought j
with her something more than the pour Indian j
girl could odor. Her coming promised him a i
a restoration to his country, ami the privilege '
of grow ing litmous in the me of his Caribbean .
treasures. The very dowry Am.iya was bos- j
tile to her claims. Ofthis dowry,?of Amaya I
herself,?he religiously forbore to whisper
might to the proud woman who stood beside:
liiin, and who naturally spoke and thought as j
if she were as much the mistress of his heart j
as she was o! his fate. iSlie soon told him aii j
her story, and revealed such portions of his, us |
might -salts!) her inquiries without provoking
any doubts. He described the beauties ol his
islet. lie showed her where he had often slept,
beneath the palms, lie gathered lor her his
fresh and iuscions fruits, and in the delight and j
wonder with which she beheld this new para-1
di>e, and in the happy consciousness of the at- j
laininenl of all lor which she had striven, at j
such tcariul sacrifice of pride and leniinine feci- '
ing, she yielded hei'sel! up to the sweet and innocent

which In* could avoid t!?? contemplated expioruIion

Ires* of liia Lie, alio, as she naturally ennuyh !
assumed, ol his affections also. What had she
uot periled Ihr those alleetions ? J lie con vie
lion ol' hei own sacrifices, the belief tha. she
had saved him from a cruel destiny, and that he
fell the prolouiidest erali.u.le lor Iter love, had
rendered her inure subdued, and gentle ol tone
iuilI carriage than he ha I ever Ixdoru seen her.
She hud no louder to contend with the hrntal
passions oi Velasquez, or the stthlle and in.-oieiit
spirit of his nephew. There was no iutiiiemv
now to conihut her imperious wiil, and to op
pose itself to the exercise of her own pas-ions.
She itiuJ won the fearful game f,r which sl:e
had played, and she might well give her.-e!l a
brief respite after the contest, 'i'ne sweet ami
balmy climate o! the islet, the picturesque bean,
ty of its a.-peets, it- d<dii:io.i-fruits, the novelty
ofsnchan abode, and, above al., that romantic
passion lor solitude, with a companion, which
accompanies the fresher sensibilities ol youth,
all tended to excite in .Maria do Pachceo the
desire which she expressed, at least to n't cam
away a single night on the lonely domain ofthe
Maroon. Her early career in the haunts ofthe
gipsy, was recalled to memory; and she Iong.
cd to realize, anew, the wild sense of pleasure
which her passionate childhood had felt, dreamitig
beneath the arch of Heaven, and gazing
away long lapses of the night, in mute commit,
nion with the sadly bright, down-looking stars.
Here, in a solitude which Iter lover had main*
thilled for near a month, she might surely rest
one night in safety. The boat might return to
the ship, nay, should return, and she should.
share, for that night, with Lopez, the sorer* v, .
eignty of the bland*
"They shall maroon me also, Lopez." '"They

are fierce and sudden in these latitudes,
and terrible in proportion to the beauty and se.
renity of the calmness now."
"Well,.Linares will come back for us."
"Rut,should he founder?"
"We then are safe, Lopez !"
The answer silenced him for awhile. But
he renewed the attempt?more cautiously, but
with suggestions as might have influenced Itis
own nature. He described to her the unwont- ^
ed terrors which had assailed him in bis first
acquaintance with the Island. The lowing of
strange beasts of the sea which sometimes came
to sleep by night upon the shore The screams
of unknown birds ofgreat expanse of wing, and
power glimpses of which he caught, rising and

loneliness which still made him shudder, to hi:' %<&$?.;
a consciousness highly desirable to her heart;
