Ol Minstrel Sweep Thou Chord*. Ol minatcl sweep those chords again, That seem to weep, and weep in Tain, And breathe of ofTringe vainly lain. At Love's deserted shrine; Those wailing tones that seem to toll, Of hearts neglected, left to dwell In solitude to pine. Bound, minstrol, sound thy harp, and old Prolong eaoh plaintivo note of woe, Till softly from thy harp-strings flow, Peace to the stormy breast; Still Bweep the strings, swell out the song, Till hearts forget their grief and wrong Thus softly lull'd to rest. Sound not to mirth, for mirth has fled, And joy and hope, now both are dead, A spectre lingers m their stead, The phantom of deapsir; And I would weep: yet ohl believe That mirth ia death to hearts that grieve, 'Twill poison even care. Onoo more again, oh! minstrel, sweep Tho trembling chords whose echo's sleep, Still in my heart-for I would weep To d-owii my grief in tears; . Hy heart grows sick, fori must sight, To feel the want of every tie That homo and love endears. Where are those kindred ties, BO doar. Tu? Luina sud hearts, l too should share? The love that should this bosom cheer. My heart wiii never know; Then what have I to do with song? No ! like thy harp, my hoart unstrung, In silence nurse its woe. BEAUMONT. THE BnOTHEn-IN-UAW, J CONTINUED. J "Cursedly unlucky," said Maurice, after some unimportant conversation, "my sister being laid np, 1 shan't be able to see her for a week, at least." "Aye," answered Gough; "and when yon do, do yon think she will side with her brother against her husband? So yon mean to lie here, like a dying rat in a hole, until your sweet sister persuades her terrible husband to pardon his humble slave." "Slave 1 What do you mean, Mr. Gough?" shouted Mamice, fiercely. "Hush!" answeredGoi'gh. "You'll waken Hover, whom I passed just now, sleeping the sleep of the just, I suppose, to all the good things she has eaten after the sale dinner. "But what can I do?" remonstrat? ed Maurice. "D'ye think I'd stop here to be baited like a badger? No, I'd be off to America in a j iff ey; but I haven't a shilling in the world." "Heyworth has a good many shil? lings iu the house," said Gough, in a strange, low, distinct tone. "Would ye have me rob the man?" "Who speaks of robbery? No-r borrow. Your sister would lend you the money if she were well enough. Take what you want, and pay him again when you get to New York." 1 'Heyworth keeps the key of his cash-box in the left hand top drawer of that room," said Maririce. aa ?? ?? soliloquy; "but I dare not. The risk is fearful." "Tho risk is nothing," answered the other. "Look at the state of the case. Heyworth Bleeps in another room, of course, with his wife in this way-sound enough, I warrant, after the worry of to-day." "But the nurse?" "Nurses always sleep heavily to? wards the small hours. " "But Kate herself?" "Should she wake, lay your finger on your lips, whisper a word, and she will understand your motive. As for the window, there are no shut? ters; a pocket knife will open the hasp." Maurice covered his face with his hands. After some moments, he raised himself, and said: "I dare not do it." "Humph! I thought as muoh. Well, Kiernan, I can do no more for you; so good-bye,"said Gough, rising as if to go. "Gough! for heaven's sake! don't leave. Help me to get away. Lend me five pounds," exclaimed Maurice, imploringly. "Shall I do it for you?" said Gough, suddenly wheeling round, and bringing his sinister features close to Maurice's face. Kiernan spoke not, but bowed his head in assent. Gough remained some minutes in making various preparations for his perilous undertaking. As he was about to descend the ladder, Maurice clutched his hand. "Gough, for heaven's sake, you know that I mean no violence?" "Bah!" said the other. "Do you think me snoh a bungler as that? If the key is only where you say it is, in half an hour I shall b i back with the money, and not a hair of any? body's head touched." "What with funk, and brandy, and natural stupidity," muttered Gough, ns he softly closed the stable door, having first taken off his shoes, "that poor fool is on the high road to idiocy!" Gough's first business was to creep to the window and reconnoitre the situation. The force of tho,- wind penetrating through numerous chinks in the well-worn window-frame lifted the blind at interval", and permitted him by decrees to take a survey of the interior. Instead of the two bright candles, a rush-light, placed in a basin upon the floor, shed its feeble rays over the room. Kate Howard lav motionless on the bed, on one side of whioh reposed the, baby in a oradle, while on the other, in an old-fashioned, high-backed chair, sat the nurse-stout, plethoric, and unwieldy, whose head sunk into her bosom, and a deep, trumpet Uko snore proved the accuracy of Gough's powers of observation. He was en by the imperfect light,' to perceive the Japanned edge of the cash-box peeping from under the bed, at the foot of the oradle. When the sash waa raised sufficient-^ ly to admit his body, he glided into the room, closing it after him, to prevent the wind from blowing up the blind, and so arousing the inmates. Stooping down by the child's oradle, BO as to bring his face on a level with the bed, he watched Kate's counte? nance narrowly. Mrs. Heyworth lay perfectly quiet, and her breathing was deep and regular; but her eyes had the appearance of showing slight? ly through the lids. Gough deliber? ately torrup ff his false beard and whis? kers, put them in his pocket, and then suddenly showed his closely shaven, cadaverous face within a foot of her own. It was a desperate risk; but he felt that, were she awake, she could not forbear screaming, and in that case he could easily escape from the window. But Kate did not soream. Sh? moved slightly, and uttered a deep sigh. This satisfied the marauder better than perfect silence. ? It proved she waB not counterfeiting sleep. He now opened the top left hand drawer, found the key, and fitted it into the cash-box. The rest of his task was easy. Finally, ho again opened the window, closed it care? fully after him, and in a few seconds reached the loft. He found Maurice crouched in a corner, looking like a hunted wild animal. "Now, then," he said, "we've no time to lose. Put on your coat and hat, and lot's be off." "You've got it?" stammered Mau? rice. "Yes. Come, look alive, man." Maurice arose as if in a dream, de? scended the ladder with faltering steps, and in a few minutes, support? ed by Gough's vigorous arm, was on the road to-.where the latter had stabled his horse. "It won't do to be seen here toge? ther," said Gough, at the entrance to the village. "Take your sister's loan, with her love to yon, and suc? cess in New York." Maurice seemed bewildered as Gough counted out twenty-five crisp new one pound notes; he then sud? denly seized his hand, kissed it fervently, and disappeared in the darkness. Gough waited until the first shades of dawn appeared in tho horizon. He then roused the ostler, mounted his horse and rode away. The next day, Hey worth was about to set out for Liverpool, with the proceeds of the previous day's sale, in order that he might settle his dp.ht.H, ?nd stand clear with every one, before beginning the world anew, when he was alarmed by the serious illness of his wife. After re maining in an unnaturally deep slumber till late in the morning, she had awoke in a state of delirium. The dofltor was summoned, and pro? nounced her malady to be a bad case of puerpal fever. ICONXEiUED IN OUR NEXT. I Charleston Advertisements.
