CHAPTER L In the spr.Dg and ?immer of 18 rain began to fall, and the first thing ~ that perished for want' of water diet: that year. But Aemo^tureof th? plants which toole deep 'root fount sustenance Below, so that the fores trees showed SR abundance of foliage sad the harvest, in some kinds, wa plentiful. Towards the autumn, rail returned attain, and everything ap - .* peared to D? recovering its forme ., * order; but the dry winter, dry spring ?try summer of next year, told ot tho face of creation. Many tree *?i put forth small ?nd scanty leaves, an many perished altogether; who! species were eut off; for instance except where they were artificial! preserved, one contd not find a li vin ash or beech; few were kept alive b means of man, for water begun to I hoarded for the necessaries of lift ^Jph* wheat was watered, and,.whci ' ?Buen & thing was possible, tito hn fields also; but numbers of anima died, and numbera were killed th year-the first from thirst and tl last to reduce the consumers of tl precions element. Still the ric commanded the necessaries and mar of the luxuries othilie; and the ar which required a consumption . water were carried on as yet, ar continued in practice even long than prudence warranted-so s trot was the force of habit, and the pre sure of the artificial necessities whi< they supplied. The railroads wer as yet, in activity, and when wat failed along the une, it was broug from the sea by the rich oompani concerned in the traffic; only t fares were raised, and the trai which ran., foo: pleasure merely wc suspended. But in the midst business and interest there was a de gloom. Projects which affected t fortunes of nations were in s us pen because there was no rain ; cares i the succession of crowns and the f < mation of constitutions might all futile if there should be no rain; n it seemed aa if there never would any, for this was now the third ye and the earth had not yet receive, shower. And now ceasing to be si plied from their usual sources, i springs and rivers withered n shrank. 'Water became, iu nm places, not dear, but unattainat The greatest people of the land I it, and used their wealth in chas the retreating element from plact place on the earth. lu some ca.' among these luxurious spirits, th were scenes of extravagant rev? still; they had no employment exe to live, and they endeavored to m the act of living ?? exciting ss tl old amusements had been. But counts of foreign countries ct more and more rarely to Engin for, when the fourth rainless j arrived, drought and famine slain three-fourths of its inhabita and commerce and agriculture v alike suspended. When a v<= came ns far up in tho mouth < river as the sinking waters permit it brought tidings of desolation f whatever port it had left. Ste began to be spread of dry loni parts of the ooeau, where it had n been seen before; marks which stood in the deep of the sea m now be walked around at all tini< the tide, and thick ernste of were beginning to spread n tracts of the great deep. These ings came from foreign lands at ! intervals-and at long interval* a ship sent from any English ha The few dwellers on the coast k not if there were any dwellers iu interior; for England was bec like the desert, and there were beasts to carry once across it, ant water to be hoarded in skins for passage. Traffic of every 1 ceased; industry was gone; live n^Tt^bicb nptftin^?^^^ed P?L?4h* iiMMt of thia deport th**? Kved . a family which" had hitherto survived the destruction of life around Mfflg It <c?qM*hfBd of ?.fa??r and mbtiner,* an?" two ' young " children Charles ?nd Alice-the last of whom, the girl, WAS but a tew months old when tho Great Drought began: Thev had lived ia Herby shire, nert* Mrunge of low hill? CftBed the Peak, tliey -?nd olher inhabitants of that region had' found water, longer than many others, from the sides of the hills and from excavations which they had made in the rooks. The strong hope and expectation of rain had kept them lingering on as long ns any supply lasted; and Paulett, who, in the days when ranks existed, had been a great landlord, had used both his knowledge and his influence *o supply the wants of the people and to postpone their destruction. But those days were gone by; his posses? sions were so mncli dust; he wanted water, .and nobody wanted anything else. He was a mere man now, like those who are born naked and die naked, and had to struggle with the needs of nature even ns every one else. Meantime his educa? tion availed him, and the resources which il taught him prolonged the lives of hi* family and himself. But he was soon obliged to limit himself to : this sole care, for the supply he obtained was scanty, aud he knew how precarious it must bc. He had explored thc cavern of the Peak with great attention, and he bored the rock in various places and used means suggested by his knowledge of natu? ral canses, which had procured a slender flow of water into a basin which he had made. The fury of thirsty men for water was so great that lie was obliged to keep his seerot with the utmost care; and towards the end of the fourth year he removed t his wife and children to tho cavern i itself, and blocked up the entrance in such a manner that he could defend ! it against any chance survivor. There was no want of the luxuries of furni j ture in the cavern-all the splendors [ of the land were at the command of , thone who would take them, and Pan lott brought there whatever had adorned his home when the earth was i a fit dwelling plaec for man. There was velvet and down to lie upon: I there were carpets on which the little Alice coultl roll; there were warm dresses and luxurious ornaments ol the toilette; whatever eould be used for comfort he had brought, and nil other precious things he had blt ii his open house, locking himself un?! his family np with only water. At first there would be sometimes a mi semble man or woman tracing tin presence of living creatures aud cry ing for water. Panlett or his wif< supplied several, and when they hat been refreshed, they revealed the se cret to others; or, being strengthenet themselves, felt the desperate desiri of life revive, and attempted violenct to get at the treasure. After this, th' inhabitants of the eavern fell back t< mere self-preservation, aud thefathe and mother were abie to harden thei hearts against others by looking a tho two creatures whom they lia? borne into the world, aud who do pended upon them, lint, indeed, lif seemed t<> shrink rapidly to nothin over tho face of Hie country. It w? very rare to see a moving form of an kind. Skeletons of beasts and m> were in plenty, and their white bon? lay on the arid soil: or even thei withered shapes, dried by the air an i tho sun, were stretched out on th j places where they had ceased to sn I fer; but life was most rnre, and it b< I came scarcely necessary to use an j precaution against an invader of the : store. The dreadful mise ry was tin j this store diminished. The heart ? j the earth seemed drying, and ws ceasing to lie capable of yieldin moisture even to thc utmost wrencl ing of science. There was so litt, one hot day, that Paulett and EU? scarcely moistened their lips aft? their meal of baked corn, and warnt the children that the draught tin received was the only one that cou bc given them. Charles was no seven years old, und hud learned submit, but his longing eye.} plead? more; littl? Alic?? was clamorous, at tho mother felt tears overflow h eyes t?> think that there wns no posi bility ol' yielding to that childish po vishuess, and that the absolute no existence of water must punish h I poor child's wilfulness. When Pa lett had set his instruments to wo to renew, if possible, the supply, ai vvheu Ellen had removed the silv cups and dishes which had held th< corn and water, he and she sat dov at the month of the cavern, and t tittle ones got their play-things ai placed them on a piece of rock n far oil. Tho month of the cave lofty, and there is a sort of u terra running along on.- side, at the fe of which lay the channel of t stream that was now dry. Tho vi? is dow ii the first reach ?d' a narr? valley, which turns presently afr? wards, and so shuts out th? world I yond from sight; and tho hill on eu side risen high, tmd, from irs perp?; dicuiarity, peems even higher than is. The. shade of the cavern was de ibl?^^?nol where the brook had Sowed, the stones of the cave, were ?ll equally bare; there was no sound of voice; or bird, or insect-no cool drops from the ceiling of the cave no moisture even in the coolness of the shadow. Ellen leaned ber bead on ber husband, and Paulett pressed his arm round her; both of them were thinking of the basin' empty of water. ??EBen," said Paulett, "I think Che time is come when the elements shall melt with fervid heat. It seems like tho conflagration of the world; not, indeed, as we have always fancied it, with flames and visible Are, but not tiie less on that account the action of heat. It is, perhaps; the Last Day." "I hope it is," said Ellen; "I hope it is; I wish those precious creatures may be among those that are alive ana remain, and may be spared the torments of this thirsty death." "You and I could bear it if they were gone," said Paulett, glancing at them, and withdrawing his eyes. "Oh, yes," said Ellen, pressing near to him, and taking his hand in both of hers. They were silent, and they heard thc children talking as thoyplayed. "There is King Alexander," said Charles, setting up a pebble; "he is going to dinner. Put the dinner, Alice." Alice put out seveaal other pebbles before King Alexander. "And he has a great feast There is plenty of water, more than he can drink, and he drinks-drinks as much as he likes, and still there is plenty of water when he goes to bed." "Poor children. I can't bear it," said Ellen. "Oh, Ellen, it would have been better never to have given them birtli, " said Paulett. "No, not that," said Ellen, sitting down again; "thongh they must suf? fer, they are better to be; when this suffering has dissolved their bodies, on the other side of these mortal pains there is ease and happiness." "True. true, ?lear Ellen," said Paulett, "it is <mly difficult lo ?lie." Ho held lier bund, aud while he did so, his eye fastened on a diamond ring which she wore. She observed his fixed look. "You gave me that when we little thoaght how it was we should part when I was a bride-and there was all the pleasure and the business of thc world rouud ns. It hardly seems as if we were the saine creatures." "No, we aro not; for I am thinking concerning that ring which you nevej were to part with, whether I could convert the diamond into water." "How, Paulett," "I can't explain it to yon. but il has jus* crossed my mind that it ii possible'; and if so, they are stil plenty ?if jew el* in the world to kee] ns alive." He drew oil" the ring as he spoke aud went into the interior of th? eave, whither Ellen followed him There was a tire and some apparatu: belonging to Paulett, which he ha? used in experiments upon the ?le creasing water of the basin. H? knocked the stone out of the setting and applied himself to decompose i over the Ure. He put forth all hi skill and all his power, and was .sue cessful; the diamond disappeared and there remained a few drops o water. He looked at his wife nm smiled; she raised her eyes to his, a* tonisbed and pleased, took the cu from his haud, ami looked nt th ! precious metamorphosis. ! "I'll give it the children," she saul I aud was going away, brit he stoppe ! her. "No, Ellen, there is notenoug j to ?lo any good;*you and 1 will drin : each other s health in it," and li?; pu j the cup first to her lips, and then t ! his own. God bless you, ray den j Ellen," he said, "my wife, I pledg you again with that diamond. Th first drop of water comes from tb stone that plighted my faith to yoi and may it bring you health and liai piuess yet." "God bless you, my husband, we could but die now." CHAPTER IT. I Paulett now exerted himself to c< hfct all the diamonds that remain? ! without owners in the neighborhoo First, he visited his own forsnk? home, and to?>k thence the jew? which he had neglected in his retie from it, but w hich were now us pr cions ns water. He found no gre j store, even after ransacking all tl houses within reach, and determim to undertake a longer journey, I search of more. The basin in the cavern continu ! to yield ii scanty supply of water, ai Paulett extracted a small quanti from his stones, lie made what pr vision he could for his family befe setting out, and, for Iiis own necea ties, took the smallest possible p? tion, in a silver vessel, which w most preciously secured and conceal i about his person, lt was a strati parting between his wife aud hi: i both of them feeling and saying tb alive, they .should probably not mt again; yet, death was so near th? j constantly, and was so far better th ! I i f * ?, that his presence had grown ?miliar, and it was only the mode I w hich hu w ould come that made th? j anxious. Pauli tt , perishing alo with thirst, was the fearful image ! Ellen; und Ellen and her childr j waiting for him, and dying, one af I I the other, for want of his help, w j the dread of Paulett. They stood I the cavern, and embraced each ott ou?t? w, Xii.\. Silently, and blessed their children ?&?&J^^I^T^^ tina? b^c^S^^d^arl?t^^ cavers and set out on his uncertain Tile face of the country was so much changed that be. 4*4 seme dif? ficulty in making his way. The vivid celo? of the earth were all gone, and in place of them was the painful greyness of the dead trees, and the yellow of the parchad soil Nothing was overthrown in rain, bot all stood dead in ita place. The shapes of men and animals lay strewn' upon the earth. The human beings were comparatively rare; they were the last survivors of the destroying drought, whom there had been none to bury; but these had at length died by hundreds, and in their places their bones were seen whiter than any other object; or, if anywhere over the surface there hung a vapor, it came from some collection of dead bodies, which had not yet been re? solved into the elements. Those whom he found there were mostly in heaps-tho beasts had died singly; near what had been water-courses he saw more than once signs of strug? gle ; and the last battles of earth had been fought for the possession of its waters. He traced out many a pa? thetic story amoug the dry bones and faded garments. Women's dresses were there; and fallen imo a shape? less heap on what had been their bo? soms, were little forms, and the rai? ment of children. Where the dry air and the sun had preserved the face, he beheld the fallen estate ol those who had been men in the un? covered shame of death; open lips, the sunken eyes over which the eye? lid was undrawn, the sullen tongue, the frame writhed into an expression of anguish, revealed all the pain and shame of death. But here and there tho hand of some one who had beer a survivor ?as visible in the attempt to conceal all this. In one phvx there was a shallow grave, iut< which a body had been rolled, anc lay on its side; and close by, on i heap of clothes, out of which bonei appeared, there was a spade, will ! which the unfinished work bad heel j attempted. Tn another, a feiual I body was covered from sun and mom 1 by a man's cloak, and a few paces ol ' lay a mau, whom nothing had shield j ed. There was an infant's skeletou wrapped iu a woman's shawl, nude what had been a hawthorn hedge tho mother had either perished at tempting to find water, or had lui her child down and gone away, lik ! Hagar in the desert, not to see it die ; The poor innocent's skull was turne j on its shoulder: it-s cheek must hav j rested there while the face remainet j It was too yoting*to have struggle j much. Paulett thought on his littl ! Alice; of ln.r unconsciousness to th i fate around her: of what would h I her and Charles' and poor Ellen fate, if he failed in his search or pc ished by the way. He roused hin ? self from looking on all these sorrov I ful objects and went on his dreai j way. The second day after ho le i the cavern he came toa stately pile < j building, which he determined to e: , plore for the life-giving stones he wi in search of. It stood upou its te raees, surrounded by its collouad* and garden and steps, in all its ol pride and glory. Its forests we: withered, indeed; its gardens burne 1 its fountains dry; but the pala j glanced back the sunlight, aud w j as steadfast and perfect as iu tl I days of the living. Paulette dre near, and found, as he came clo? signs of the hist days of Ufe in The doors were open to the air, and few marks of objects removed i mained in the outer rooms. The was scoring and dragging ou t i marble floor; and Paulett doubt' for a moment what had left tin i marks, till he saw on otto side of I gilded table a barrel lyiug the ; empty, from which the top, as seemed, had been accidentally knot ed, and the liquor had flowed oi The marble bore the stains of wii I and where it had flowed tho sin ; were broken in two places, perha ! front the violence of the struggle those who saw tho liquid flow to x i each ono his own parched lips. Pt I lett thought the lord of tho eas had probably deserted it before I worst crisis had arrived, and 1 tried to remove what was most va able in his possession. He went through long galleries and magti cent rooms, all silent as dea I s tittles which represented man ! his glory and in his strength ; bo? ; which were the work of that h: j spirit, now extinguished under pressure of bodily want; luxuri I superfluities which were for bet I days of the world-all was valneli all open; he might go where would, until, sit length, one door sisted his efforts, and seemed to h been barred with a certain care fi within. Pauletta heart beat high. \ thero some one still living, like h self? another human creature nh gling for existence in this g: world, and guarding, as he had d in his cavern, his treasure of wa I Should he have another coin pan to speak with- another with wh i perhaps, to get over the evil da] I to whom to communicate his seer* producing water from diamonds? the first time since he left the CSV he spoke aloud; he called-he on i.i the great silence of tho earth i nothing answered him. If any was still alive, he might be af rah another living creature. Had no himself left pistols loaded for his} Ellen to defendht? ufe and her ebJ^f dren if any human being should come Dear? He gtarltly shook the doer;, thou proceeded to more violence, and forced it open. It was the door of a great dining-room, on whose lofty" ceiling, as he entesad it, wreaths of ; smoke rolled, which the air had put in motion, and a heavy smell, as of burned charcoal, ? struck bini aa he entered. There were no living crea? tures-tho inhabitants were au d?sd in the last,posture nf life,. The fable wss covered with silver and gold ves? sels, and among them were, dead flowers and fruits, dried by the close chamber. It should seem they had* drunk deeply before they died here; Eerhapa they had collected the hut quids and resolved to perish' when they had once more feasted; for there was wine still in some of the vessels; nay, in one there was waler, and the ghostly shapes were adorned and fan? tastically covered with jewels and velvet, and all sorts of rare and ex? quisite ornaments. Some were still on chairs, some fallen forward on the table, some prostrate, as if they bad laid down to sleep. There were frag? ments of shivered glass on the floor; there was a statue broken to pieces on the table, on the pedestal ot which waa written "Patience;" there were pieces of torn poper in the hands of j one, which seemed a letter; all these ! faint shadowing* long stories, and I of a scene of which there remained no witness, struck Paulett'g eye. One had sunk down by the silver tripod in which the charcoal had been burn? ed, aud the match that fired it was amongst his garments. One face was there resting on a sofa, still perfect enough to show it had been a beauti? ful woman, and roses, artfully made close to nature, crowned the long hair, which fell upon arms from which the flesh had withered. On the neck were diamonds, on the hands diamonds-diamonds had con? fined the ringlets-diamonds spar? kled on her feet, Paulett shuddered as he took them away. The spirit, indeed, was gone; but here was the lost act of the spirit before it plunged into an'unknown region-it knew not where. Paulett asked himself where. "A little longer," said he, "and they must have died; could not they wait their time, and take patience with death? Must they die in drunken? ness, in madness, worse than beasts?" Then his own thirsty eyes fixed on the table, where, in the light of the sun, the water sparkled and gave rainbow rays. He forgot all beside in the impulse which urged him to seize and drink-to drink tho first draught-to satiate bis thirst with water. He drank and revived, and then blamed himself for yielding so passionately to the impulse which was now passed away, and os it passed, the horror pf the scene around him acquired greas? er force, aud he longed to be out of I its influence. He made haste to col I le ct all the jewels around him, and w hen he had done so, found that his i burden was as much as he could safely carry. He went hastily out of the room, as if any of these figures could rise and follow him, and fast? ened tin? door again where the crime had hfeen w rought. He hastily cross? ed the marble halls and mme ont in the sunlight-the solemn sunlight that looked upon a burnt-up world. [TO HE CONTTXCED. | nu AI HUIR Hook, Job aud Newspaper [Printing Office.
