K? " Father 1" cried Klleu in a voice of th agotiv, "what is the matter t" Iti lie clutched convulsively to a newspa- dc per which ho held in his hand, and ex- wl claimed in a voice broken by the gurgling of sound of blood issuing from the lungs: "My boy!

Ashley, alone, had m presence 01 mind for tlie emergency, and SI with tlte assistance of the Rervnnts, con- d< veyed the Senator to his room, Medical te aid was immediately summoned; and, ec for days, death seemed to have set his ni seal upon this man of iron nerves and e< brilliant intellect. M As soon as he was allowed a moment's hi opportunity, Ashley examined the paper ct that he had taken from the convulsive grasp of the Senator, and he loo read the tr sad details of tfic wreck of the Chelsea, at and the probably death of his friend, with ?i a grief scarcely U*s poignant than that tl evinced by his relatives.

America is clearly designated l>y the Kagle's nest, as ? ii is the only part of the globe whore the 1,1 ear/lr, /ihe arms of the Vniled w States,"/ is to l?e found. Thus, this liith c erto inexplicable prophecy may now be easily understood as Wfanityg that when c the cork, that is France, shall protect 11 America, (as she did during the late war.) the stars, that is the standard of the ' American empire*, shall rise in this Wes- 451 tern Hemisphere.
