A Historical Ronimce.
It wis the hours <>f mill 'light. Tho sil .
vcy-y ocho of the beautiful tune peace hail

soft tones had not disturbed the reveries of
lY:r Amy H'd<snt. The soft hand, whose
snowy whiteness rivaled tlie beauty of rich
jewels which clasped iier delicuio finders,
rested upon her ivory chin. One white
shoulder had escaped from the bondage of
delicate linen, so soft and fair, that a snow
drift initrhl have marred its polished .sur
r.iBii. The melting tu bs, one moment pen- j
sive, thon lit with piercing brilliancy, as I
he:* lonely wretchedness arose to wine nut
her hnppy prist. A wre itli of auburn hair
tell around her majestic form. One dainty
foot played nervously with the rich earpet
buiotth, and, at each ehanging thought,
grow restless like the fair owner.
".So late and yet he comes not, "she
tauruiorcd sadly, and in flute like tones.?
' Once it was not so. Must the high born
talk of aching hearts?" and she pressed
tu-r delicate hand against the beating sepul- j
chre of her hopes and tears. " ()h ! Lieces- |
ter, a higher power than mine bids you
stay. You will bask in the sunshines of
her smiles, I, your wife, must be content

Minutes grow into hotirs, and still the
liMUlifiil nnd neglected one sat. Tlie
god of sleep wound his arms around her,
;>nd hushed for a tiiue her lonely cares.
In the private apartment, of England's
renowned Elizabeth, sat Robert, Karl of
Licscester. A flush of gratified vanity lit
his handsome foutu.es. llis doublet of
1 tlaok velvet was starred with diamonds.?
The rich falling cu'F, edged with delieate
la i foil gr icefully over an almost tinv hand
enhanced by richest jewels. Beside him
1 iv his plumed hat. He was not alone.?
l.'pm a splendid couch of velvet, fringed
with go?d, reclined the maiden queen.?
Twenty live years sat lightly upon her high,
hturu brow. The majestic form, bright
eyes, and haughty heaving, were still the
royal maiden's greatest charms. One little
foot had been allowed to peep from beneath
" her splendid robe. A delieato hand, perfect
in shapi and her greatest pride toyed

and taking her h ind pressed it fondly to
his li |H.
" Yiiu;* majesty needs rest, and it is past
the hour of midnight," he said, in gentle
tones.
The ijueon replied, raising upon the
cottoli, her eagle eyes dilating us she spoke,
"'Tis not the feeling thou hast for mo., but
a wish to clasp thy baby-faced wife. Dost
thou know that 1 could crush her by a sign ,
from this hand?" and she raised it trembling
and hissed the words in his car.
" I crave thy pardon, beauteous queen.
3-'or thy dear health I feared. And thou ;
dost not love Amy, thy wife? Thy love '
is all my own. And she allowed her hand 1
to fill with confiding fondness upon his
shoul lr. " l>y my faith no, sweet one.?
Thou art my idol. Amy is alone my wife,"
and he pressed her fondly to his treacherous
heart.
" (>h ! man where arc thy vows to thy
innocent wife'! Thou dost love her, but
thy ambition has overruled this noble feel- I
in_r.
"Go," said tliOfjuecn, "thou art forgiven.
Come soon to-morrow. This is our
birth day," site said, blushing, " and we
have much to say to thee. .No, no, not
my hand, but my lips; it would ill become
lovers," she. added, as lie bent to kiss her
hand. Onelonjr, fond omhrace?tlicqueen 1
and her subject. Yes, Knirland's proud,
unbending Elizabeth and Liecester had
gone.
<' 11A PTEll If.
I lie hour of throecliiincd sweetly through
(lie apartments, as Liecestcr entered the
presence of his injured wife. She was !
ft ill sleeping with her head resting upon
her rounded arms, There was a sweet |
smile upon tho full, red lips, which told ,
that in sleep alone she was happy. The
husband gazed upon the beauteous being;
and, parting tho hair upon her fair young i
brow, kissed it tenderly, while tears of remorse
forced tlicni away down his cheeks. )
" Sweet neglected one, could I hut loam |
from the angels that guard thee to never
the ties which bind iisc to Klizabeth, I
might yet learn to be a better man. I am
not worthy to touch thv hallowed form.
SliM ji on, swept one, for it brings thee that

/.lowly peoping from yon eastern sky. ()nee j
more, swt et Amy, I will press those <?hor- J
ished lips, and then of}' to KluubcjJi, thy [
jivid."
The rich corj ( t did not celio his light
I stop. lie took one look back upon his injured
wifo, nnd then wreathed his fuco in
1 .smiles to meet his queen.
'Tw?s tbe queen's birth-day. Elizabeth, j
the pri'ieof t lie English ualion, sal arrayed
; in regal magniCcenqe, surrounded by the
! accomplished satelites of her court, while
! a bevy of fair ladies graced the happy
eeene, nnd watched with fear the frown
which darkened the royal brow. Her nil
*r:tze swept ever the vast crowd, even
while receiving the congratulations of her
loyal subjects. Vet she spoke not, though
tIvm lii, stern brow told a tftio of much
inward excitement. The entrance of the
handsome Ijieeestev served like magic to
render all bright again. Approaching his
royal mis'ress, he knelt and kissed her hand, 1
j while compliments so eloquently uttered
summoned blushes on the royal coquette's .
cheek.
" Methinks your lordship had nearly furgotten
our birth-day; but we pardon thy i
tardiness, nnrl tvnvt tlior* fr\r m/irn I

ness iii future. Thou bast over beeu faith- I
fill in our cause. Porchaueo thy gentle j
wife has won thee back to domestic life, j
iiiid thou hast been in this case forgetful
of our interests." Then noticing the
blush which mantled his ehcek, she said, j
haughtily and with visible emotion, "wcj
must tiiicl ond whose heart is untouched by
woman's charms or tears. Our interests,!
avA the welf-ire nl' our kingdom. must not
, sullVi because a \vo:tk man sees lit to brisk !
in a wife's sinilos. heave our presence until
wo shall have t.iught tliee which is best
to serve or (lis;,bey."
Then with that ease which ever characterized
her, she begnn to discourse with
the lYeneh anib ssador, upon tho appearance
of the handsome " llenvv of Angou,"
whom it was one time thought she would
marry.
CHAPTER 111.
Twilight had stolen softly through the
apartment of the maiden queen, and given
to its richness a dreamy languor. I'lliza- j
both reclined, as when we first met her, |
upon the same velvet couch. The dainty 1
foot again peeped from beneath her rich i
dress j and now and then the beauteous
hands would clasp in silent, nay, hopeless j
agony.
Again tlio Harl of Leicester was beside |
her, though now his pale lace was buried |
in his hands. Tears, bitter, scalding tears, !
forced their way down his manly cheeks, :
and left their burning impress there.? >
Still ho knelt and begged for life rather
than take it.
"Nay, Liccestcr, Amy must die!"?
came slowly through her closed teeth.? I
She mil t die, and by thy hands; I will
give thee poison which will do the work ;
quickly;" and thrusting 1ier hand in the1
bosom of her dress, she drew forth a tiny j
vial, whose clear contents seemed as harm- '
less as the pure drops which fell fromheav- J
en. " A drop of this; and she sleeps j
that sle.'p which knows no waking. Then |
Idixabctli will possess thathappiness which j
a kingdom lias tailed to give her. ()'< ! !
ijioccster, falter nut; thy queen commands |
thee. ]5id her wait in ai other world lor :
thee. There wo cannot meet, and upon j
earth thou must he mine;" and she waved j
her hand wildly around. " Whenthedeed
is done, return to thy Klizubcth, and she
will, with her love, drown that which now
thou iunrest to do."
.Slowly he arose, and parting the auburu
curls which clung in wild disorder arouud
his white brow, brushed the burning drops
from his chock, pressed the ,fonn of her I
who vowed to love him, and was gone.

" Nay, sweet one, drink; the ruby drops :
will summon thee to those pule cheeks, and |
thou will be again my Amy of old."
" No, Liescestcr, thou must pledge mc i
more of a husband's lov and attention i:i
future, and then 1 wil''?heyj" and throwing
her arms fondly around hidi, she kissed
him tenderly, while her warm breath
fanned his burning cheek. Oh! thou I
canst not think how lonely I am without
thee. AVh.it care I for this costly trash,
when thou art ever absent," and she gazed
with contempt upon the mngniiiccuco I
which surrounded lier.
1 " Well, all shall he different," said the j
carl, tenderly kissing her, while a strange ;
expression of agony passed over his face, j
'' Drink now .sweet one and pled go mc thy j
faith."
Ani}' took tlio cun, and drained its con- .
touts. Laying it aSlde, sl> 'seized his hand 1
for his expression of faco alarmed her.?
ll<> was deathly pale and terror seemed to j
look forth from every feature. Falling
upon his knees, he clasped her delicatc i
form, and in trembling accents said:
"Oh ! Amy, forgive ir.c, forgive me for
the deed."
" Nay, hushand, thy mind wanders;
thou hast promised to do better in future;
thou art forgiven. Oh ! what happiness i
is yei mi sioro lor us.
" Pray, Amy, tliou arb?"--~and tho words
died upon liis lips. " Oh 1 I would give i
worlds if the deed had not been done.? i
Dost feel nothing strange, sweet one?" i
and he parted her soft hair, and kissed
again and again her white brow.
" I understand all now, and this must
bo death?death I once so feared, and by
thy hand, Liecester ! Hold mo, I feci so
eold 1"
Quickly the poison did its s'ork. The
beauteous features became convulsed. The
musical voice prow fainter.
" One more kiss", and (lien lay me clown
whore 1 can watch thesuttingsun. Weep
not, husband mine, I go with but one rugrot?thou
art beloved. Think of rnc,
and remonibcr mv greatest fault has been
in loving (lice too well. Press mo close to
thy dear bosom," came in a whisper from
her dying lips ' Mess thee, my dear husband
"
With one lust effort she nivje, and throwing
hor arms about hnn, ohing until life
had gone. (ienHy Jjiecester laid Iuh murdered
wife down, and falling upon his
knees, burst forth in wild and terrible grief. |
" ()1? ! Amy, sweet companion of my
y and better days, thou art gone, and
by my hands ! lloncoforth my days aro
curscd. Euglitnd's <|ucon nnd thy destroyer
bids nio forget the deeds in h*r love."
Crime
The prompt nnd oortuin punishment of
criminals in Knghnd, whether of high or
iv>v uv^ruu, ouen a strange contrast to the
lax treatment of crime in this country.?
The comparison is greatly to the diaadvnutn^o
not only of our courts, but the Mute
of public sentiment throughout our groat
republic. Hunk, worth, station, arc powerless
in Knglaml to shield ihe transgressor j
of tho law from tho couscquenccb of his ;
turpitude. But in this country it is easy j
for a criminal, provided he has friends who
have plenty of money, or has it himself, j

end will and must come. The patience of

seems iuellectuul to accomplish.
People talk of law, of justice, of trial,
of the court of sessions. We'd as well
have none. Abolish law, courts of justice
and the court of sessions altogether. What
good do they do? South Carolina, we
might well say, may perhaps lay claim to :
the evil distinction ot being the most law- [
less of all the States that aspire to bo governed
and controlled by the law and courts I
of justice.
Men, now a days, at least a larzo uuin
ber, ainuso themselves by carrying con- (
ecu led weapons and making, for the least j
olfenee, a ferocious assault upon inoll'en-'
sivoand peaeeuble citizens. K umbers of'
men inarch every day in civil society armed
with a " seven shooter " nuilbowics last- ,
ened around their persons, as it' they exi.vt- j
ed among a horde of uncivilized, lawless
barbarians. They commit murder?they '
are acquitted. Why not pass u law that
every man isliall settle his own case as he
pleases, irrespective of judge or jury? It
would bo the wisest and best policy, for
then men, peaceable, men, would know [
what to depend upon.
It is almost, yes, it is dangerous now for
a man to ask another for a debt, or for one
to express himself civilly upon any subject. 1
< )ur courts of justice, our laws tire an anomaly,
presenting a series of contradictions '
remarkably gross and strange. AVith a
community, a population, who claim to be
intelligent, wealthy, chivalrous and charitable
to a proverb, and who pretend to bo
governed by law, it is strange how conlin-!
ued violations, gross violations, are tolera-:
ted. The existing state of things exhib- j
ts the perfection of incongruity. It is
the rrthi' tio ad absurdum " of the largest
liberty"?to do as you please, regardloss
of law, for justice has taken to herself
wings and llown to other climes.
Crime is in the ascendancy; the evil is
increasing; it stalks u Mushingly in broad
open day; every hour, every, minute swells j
its power. If something bo not done to!
arrest. it, if the gallows continues to he !
cheated, the prospect fur the diminution of
crime is small indeed,.?Kiciny Sun.
