Answered tho question, and reaolvod to die. His duty was, upon his post to bido Till tho relief carno, lot what might betide. Ho stood forgotten by tho fleeting guard, Choosing that part which ia tho bitterest still, His face with its fixed purpose cold and hard, Cut in the resoluto granito of bis will. "Better," ho said, "to dio than live in sn arno; Death wreaths fresh flowers round a brave man's name." Lifo is tho wave's doep whisper on the shore Of a great Bea boyoud. Tho sentry saw That day tho light m broad sailB hoisted o'or Tho drifting boat of dawn; nor droamed tho flaw, The puff called death, would blow him with them by Out to tho bonndlcBB sea beyond thG sky. Tho sentry watched thc mountain's fire-gasbod cheeks, And saw como up tho sand's entombing shower, Tho storm darks out its red tonguo when it Bpoaks, *.nd floreo Vosnvius, in that wild hour, Put forth its tongue of darno, and spoke tho . word Of hatred to the city from tho Lord. Tho gloom of a oven teen conturios skulked away And standing in a marble nicho was fouud A skeleton in armor, all decay ; The soulless skull was by a helmet crowned, Cleaving thereon with mingled rust and Baud And a long spoar was in the crumbling baud. In Pompeii aro boasts of stone with wings, H Paved streets with marble temples on each side, Baths, houses, paintings, monuments of kings ; But the arched gate whereat tho sentry died, Tho rusted spear, and helmet with no crest, Are better far to see than all tho rest. O heart, whatever lot to thee'God gives, Be strong, and swerve not from a blameless way. Dishonor hurts tho soul that ever lives. Death hurts tho body that is kin with clay, Though Duty's face is stern, her path is best: They sweetly sleep who die upon her breast. THE GARTER. CONCLUDED. They had not been long on the hill, when two gentlemen came up to and no coated her friend, who foolishly encou? raged the flirtations of men whose inten? tions she knew could not be correct. They quickly recognized Mary, and with the effrontery and usual small talk which men of fashion know how to employ un? der such circumstances, continued to walk by their Bide, and to "do the agree? able." The situation soon became an irksome one to Mary; she felt confused and pained, as she remarked the une? quivocal looks of surprise and scorn of many of her own rank in life. Not so her companion; she was perfectly at her ease, and maintained with spirit a trifling conversation with the intruders, who had insensibly led them to a retired spot be? hind the castle There, an attempt was manifested on the part of the gentlemen to separate them. To Mary's unsophis? ticated heart, this proceeding appeared in all its glaring impropriety; and when one of the libertines ventured to put his arm around her slender waist, and draw? ing her nearer to him, to whisper some insulting nonsense in her ear, her heart swelled within her, and unabled any longer to suppress her feelings, oho burst into a flood of tears. "Let us go," said Mary, in an agony; "let us go homo." Tho gallants mean? while Btood puzzled and irresolute. Prudence had left the safeguard of modesty and virtue, but innocence re? mained to defeat their overthrow; ami there is a sacredness in the heart-felt ap? peal and tearful imagination of alarmed innocency, that cannot fail to check tho advances of tho most profligate roue. Shortly afterward, Mary missed her gar? ter, and looking round for it, behold it in the bauds of the gentleman with whom she had been walking! Blushing aud confused, she hurried her companion down the hill, and minglod in the crowd congregated at its base. As they pro? ceeded homeward, her friend remarked her continued dejection, und inquired the reason. "I canuot tell," said Mary; "but I have a fearful foreboding in my mind, and the terror of some coming evil op? presses my spirit." "Why, Mary, what's tho matter with you? How foolish! Your eyes aro red and swollen. You must not go home in this plight; your husband will wonder what I've beon doing with you. Como -come home willi mo, aud we'll soon get rid of these vapors." Her compliance with this reasonable request contributed to tho misfortunes of the day; for tho evening was so far ad? vanced oro she reached hor own house, that she fouud it deserted, and silence, which seemed doubly dreary to a mind pre-occupied by melancholy thoughts, reigned throughout it. Sho was at no loss to conjecture tho cause." It was her husband's habit, of lato, when much dis? pleased, to betake himself to a neigh? boring public house, aud there to remain till late. During her absence, a displea? sure stronger than ho hud over boforo harbored against hov, disturbed her hus? band's peace. "This can never como to any good," muttered he. Ho was suf? fering tho anguish which he endures who "doats, yet doubts-suspects, yet strong? ly loves." Ob, jealousy! thou fever-fret of euro! vexation's sore vicissitude! damon, that plantest thy hell and revolost iu the breast where love reposed, to what excess of crime hast thou not led thy victims depriving reason of her power and send ing madness to usurp her seat! Hour after hour passed on, but Mary carno not., Suspense is at all times an unpleasant feeling; but when it seems to be inflicted wantonly, and from a source when it is least expected, the sense of injury and unkindness increases its acuteness. To watch tho hand of the clock, which never seemed to move so slowly; to listen to each approaching foot-step with reviving hope, only to follow tho dying sound with increased bitterness of disappointment-these aro sufferings which the thoughtless truant, who protracts the flying hours, often in heartless and unmeaning meriment, little dreams of. Again and again did he recur to tho character of the woman with whom his wife went out; numerous trifling in? discretions forced themselves back upon his memory, and suggested a construc? tion they had not borne before. In vain did ho 8trivo to beat away tho meddling fiend; fnnoy on fancy, each more hideous than tho lust, orowded bis distempered imagination, and drove him at length to seek relief in tho tap-room of tho little inn ho occasionally resorted to. A feeling of envy is commonly gene? rated toward the man who marries a very beautiful woman. Ho is looked upon as a presumptuous persou, who ha3 dared to appropriate to himself so muoh treasure; and ho who ?R woddod to youth and beauty ofton pays this prico for tho monopoly. The husband found tho usual company assembled; and, as is too frequently the case, thero was not wanting a "good natured frieud" to fan tho llamo of dis? appointment evidently apparent in his countenance. His fondness for bis wife was generally known, and envy readily supplied tho means of tormenting a re? finement in feeling unappreciated by vulgar minds. Tho conversation (pur? posely) alluded to the holiday sports upon tho b ll, and hints nud iuuendoos wero skillfully thrown out, to rouso the jealousy cf the unhappy subject of tho heartless ribaldry, and to causo bim ab? ruptly to leave tho house. Tho night was close aud sultry, and dark withal, though summer. The lamps threw a gloomy light along the dusky streets, os tho unhappy man passed to and fro, endeavoring to dissi? pate, by rapid motion, tho unwhole? some thoughts that thronged upon him. "They all sneer at me," muttered ho; "how, if I have been too secure? Hal fal?e to me-to me who bavo loved her so dearly?" No man is suddenly abandoned to his own evil passions; tho shooks of tho moral earthquake aro distinct aud sepa? rate, though they may rapidly succeed each other. While ho stood soliloquizing under a lamp, his figuro was recognized by two bacchanals, who wero staggering homo from a debauch. "That's the husband of tho pretty creature you wero talking to this after? noon," said one; "lot's banter him. Hallo! John, how is it with you, man?" He started at this unexpected address; but perceiving in the speaker a goutlo man who had formerly served him, ho respectfully saluted them, and observing their condition, would have passed on, but they obstructed his path. "leay, John, how's your wife?" Ero he could reply, the other chimed ia: "Look yo, John, I'll bet you a guinea I'll tell you the color of your wife's garter. What say you, eh?" lu those days the lower orders wero accustomed to look up to their superiors in rank with a reverence unknown to their moro liberally educated descend? ants. Smothering his resentment, the husband replied, in ill-attemptod merri? ment: "That would be a bubble bet, sir, as I don't remember over having noticed it myself." "Say you so, my lad? Then look you here." And with au air of triumph, ho drew forth und displayed the lost garter! "For shume!" said his eompauion, snatching at tho fancied prize, and thrust? ing it, as ho thought, into his pocket; " never kiss and tell." Then, with a loud laugh, they reeled oil', hiccupping, "Good night, John." Tho garter had fallen unnoticed, save by the unhappy husband, who remained for some minutes rivited to thd spot; his faculties were paralyzed. ?Suddenly ho started, hastily picked up tho unlucky relic, gazed ut it tor ono moment-it was red-aud fled townrd his homo. It was the first whisper of the fiend thut startled him! He let himself in, and proceeding to bis chamber, found his wife wrapt .a a peaceful slumber. A pensive sadness was visible in her countenance, and her long silken lushes wero still wet with tho tear of contrition-tho weather was warm -her swan-like ueck was exposed, and one suowy arm supported her head upon tho pillow. As ho guzod upou her beauty and tho traces of recent sorrow, the me? mory of mutual, fond endearment, soft? ened his heart, and dispelled, for a mo? ment, all doubt of her innocence. Slowly be approached the bcd to kiss awuy tho repentant tear that lingered on tho lid, us if to claim on his return renewed love and confidence, when he trod on some? thing, and looking down, peroeivod tho slippers aud stockings of his wifo. The lioud prompted him to look for her gar tors. Ho did so; there was but one, and tho color of that ono was red! At that moment hell waa busy in the little chamber. Again ho turned his eyes toward the bed, but now his thoughts wero "goads, thorns, nettles, tails of wasps;" and hur? rying from tho houso ho did uot return until tho morning light wus faintly visi? ble in tho Eastern sky. Tho interval had beeu passed in dreadful occupation ! On the hill behind Sham Castlo a gravo had been prepared. Ho had toiled hard (to uso tho words in his confession) "to make it deep before the morning broke." The do mons to whom he had resigned hi m self lent him supernatural strength. "Marder waa in his heart, Death in his hand 1 Blood and revenge were hammer? ing at his brain 1" His wifo was still asleep when ho re? turned, and day-light was rapidly increas? ing. "Mary," said he, shakiug her, "you must get up." "John," said she, rubbing her eyes, "but just returned? Where have you been all night?" "No matter." "Why so early?" ashed she. "Nay, 'tis past four." He then stated some reason, which, if it did not satisfy her, put an end to fur? ther [quos tio ns. She was soon dressed, and ready to follow him. It is needless to attend them in their rapid progress to tho goal of his unhal? lowed labors; their hasto precluded all attempts at conversation, though Mary frequently essayed, in vain, to learn their destination. Her belief in tho unbound? ed affection of her husband forbade her to suppose that he could, for ono instant, meditato mischief against her, but she knew not tho dreadful revulsion that had taken placo. Tired by tho smart walk up tho ascent, ou their arrival at tho small gatoway of tho castle, she asked whither they were going, und receiving no reply, declared, pettishly, sho would go no further. As he turned round, she remarked tho frightful chango in his countenance. The expression sho thero beheld called up all her fears, aud, with a stifled cry of hor? ror, she fell upon her kuees before him. Everythiug conspired against her tho tremors of terror were mistaken for tho confusion of guilt. As sho watched in agony the scintillating glances of his eye, ho displayed tho fatal ribbon, and demanded, in a voice of unearthly mean? ing, hollow and deep. "Whore did you lose this gartor?" In a moment sho saw the mistake. "Dear John, hear me!" and she at? tempted to embrace his knees; but in the same slow and terriblo accents, ho inter? rupted her. "Tho truth-tho truth; where did you lose this garter?" Trembling with apprehension, and with faltering accents, she replied: "I believe-I think-it was somewhere near this place." Thon, with a frautic yell, and with a spring sudden and quick, tho maniac rushed npon and seized his victim; her entreaties for mercy were stifled by suf? focation. A few seconds snflicod to com? plete the hellish deod, and her last strug? gle was succeeded by the silence of death ! Dragging tho body to tho grave ho had dug, he thrust it ia, and with frantic hasto shoveled over it tho mold and stones, till it was lovel with the surround? ing turf; and having trampled it into hardness, tho murderer ceased from his labors. Tho sequol may be told in a few words. The wretched man did not attempt to escape, but immediately surrendered himself to justice. On the trial, when tho circumstances of the garter were traced aud explained, the effects of tho evidence upon the pri? soner were extraordinary. Iustead of being overwhelmed with compunctiou at the affecting discovery, tho sullen stern? ness ho had till then maintained, gave way to a manner resigned uud almost cheerful; the conviction of his wife's falsehood-that his ardent affection should havo been returned by treachery aud dishonor-had bruised his spirit, obscured his reason, uud rendered him alike indifferent to tho present and tho future; but tho veil had been removed, the weight had been lightened from his oppressed mind; aud though ho died striotly peuitcnt, a feeling of satisfaction pervaded bis whole demeanor, and he was frequently heard to repeat, with ex? ultation: "Then^sho was iunocent! She died innocent!" Singularly tragic ns is thia tale, it is true; und the fact is registered m the nu uals of justice.
