(Continued from paf;e 3.) to acertain the hour of his visit, in order that she might prepare her mother for the starting revelations to follow the contents presented themselves to her at first in the form of an unintelligible enigma ; but soon the whole truth of his viliany and her own deplorable condition scorched itself on her already half-exhausted brain, and, with a helpless mrau of agony, she sank insensible on the couch. The scene that followed need not be described, if even it were possible to do so.

The open letter, her daughter's condition, all fell in one stunning crash on the poor old lady, and for one moment well nigh bereft her of reason ; yet only for a moment, for having been the daughter of a. soldier, and the wifecf another, the brave old dame knew how to net, and when to grieve. The pre sent moment wns one of action, and just as the sun had bid its last farewell tor the night) the old doctor who had been speedily summoned, pronounced poor Mina so for safe, but shook- his silvery head, at the slcnderness of the thread which held the spirit to its tenement of clay. In the anteroom lay the little body of the spirit which had departed sgain.after a brief visit of a few hours to the scene of his mother's sorrows. The grand old lady.who had now quite recovered her usual clear headedness and equanimity learned from Mina, from time to time, and through feeble sentences, a full account of the incidents connected with her extraordinary secret chain marriage with Hupert sometime the year before, aud with wonderful foresight and fully alive to Ihe fact that she mu-t lose no time in measuring her wit with the accomplished viliany of the destroyer,for the protection of the fair name and charac ter of the helpless victim and_ the frustration of the long scries of concomitant evils that might follow. She first drew from the secret drawer of Mina's desk, where it had lain since that ill-fated night of the sham ceremony, the golden hooped witness of the girls iniiocency, and placed it on her slender linger. She then in order to with draw her attention from hcr.iniafoituncß, read to her out of that good old Book which, so often forgotten in our prosperity, we generally appeal to hi our grief and woe. At a very late hour ofnigl.it, s cinq that the poor invalid was c imposed, and to all appear ance sinking into a gentle sleep, she placed the nurse in ttie room, with a strict charge to remain in the most watchful attendance tor an hour or two, until her return, and, hurriedly throwing a travelling cloak louni her, ypetl along tlie path leading to the old Hector's house, and reaching the door, was fortunate enough to fiud that apparently the inmates had not yet retired for the night. Tom, the Paisons factotum, was inthe act of leading away from the door the little carriage seldom used by the clergyman, and grumbling to himself concerning the travel worn appearance of the hoise, which Tom prided himself on being the best kept ani mal in the neighbourhood around. From the disturbed groom the old lady lenrnt that his master was in the house, having but this moment arrived from that rocky, dreary coast at the very end of the island, which seemed to posess for him some unaccounta ble fascination of late, and from which no appreciable rotulta appeared to follow, cave the destruction of the hoofs of poor Captain, Tom's favourite. The old lady entered the dwelling and found the Hector with a weary and disconcerted air f-itting at the table with a slight repast before him, which, however, he had to all appearance quite forgotten. She hi icily related to him the vaiious astounding revelationsshc had drawn from her unfoitunate child a few hours pre viously. Ihe old man was at no trouble to conceal the amazement which his face betray ed, when the startling account was poured into l)is ears by the ulllictcd parent. And, after remarking that he was unable at that moment to satisfy her, as to the prompt legal measures to be taken under the present circumstances, never Laving heard of such a case before, he promised to consult an old le^al friend of his at an early hour of the morning, and, seizing his hat and cane, pro* posed to go direct to Kupert, and endeavour to awaken him to a sense of his enormous baseness and, if possible, compel him to re medy his outrageous crime. Kupert had always paid the old gentleman some kind of outward reverence, oven from a lad, and on this slender chance the old man hoped, though, it imut be confessed, faintly, to have some influence with him tor good. While he is on his way to the Mansion and the old lady i-? retracing her steps to the cottage, we must hasten forward and return to Mina, whom we left in a gentle sleep under the watchful care of the nurse.

These ebony muses, however useful and skilful many of them are during the day, yet they are almost entirely uselesfor night vigilance, forunfortuuately, they are unable to resist the pi etcucc of the drowsy god, on; C darkness sets in around them. This is a natural infirmity of the simple race, which they cannot be held responsible for. Mina's mother had no knowledge of the habits of these people, who seem by some natural law peculiar to themselves, to be entirely free from those fecluigs of anxious fore thought, that generally distinguish indivi duals of most European nations. Had ehe been more familiar with their characteristics she, no doubt, would have postponed her visit to the Kcctor to the next day, auxious as she was to unravel the inhuman web that now entangled her wretched daughter; at any rate we may be certain that she would never have left the house uuder the charge of a sable sleeper. Soon after the brave old lady had retired fioai the melancholy scene already described and while scarce intro duced to the presence of her friend the Hectora frightful occurrence had taken place beneath her little roof. The sleepy bnt worthy nurse., whose name perhaps may have been Morphia, for a short time re mained at the bedside a dutiful sentinel. At length becoming weary of her vigilant position she somewhat relaxed her rigid muscles little by little and finally resting her head on the foot of the bed on which the sleeping girl lay, sank unconsaiously into a profound slumber, aud in a few moments the small darkened room was echoing and re echoing with the moat extra ordinary and un earthy nasal performances that ever startled a human being. Poor shattered Mina must have been at the time dreaming of the frightful occurrences through which she had just passed (so said the doctor) and the dis torted images, which her wandering mind, now released by sleep, was pursuing, must have got mixed up with thesounds occasioned by Morphia's diabolical trumpeting, and pre sented to the sensitive brain ot the frail sufferer some vision ofa ttrrible aspect. For suddenly starting aud opening her eyes with a wild stare of fright she bounded from the bed Svith a piercing shriek and snatch ing up a sheet, wound it around her in a second and raving deliriously fled from the room. Passing through the ante-chamber, she caught sight of her dead infant lying cold and stiff. To press it to her bosom and with it fly in the direction of Kupcrt's home was the work of a moment. The young housemaid who had' been pitting up to a late hour laboriously penning an epistle of a tender nature, heard the scream and affrighted, appeared at the outer door, barely in time to witness the tragic scene, but losing her presence of mind she remained rooted to the spot in abject terror at the ghastly spectacle of her delirious young mistress.

Ata late bour that same eveningtheyoung people at the mansion were amusing them selvea in an apartment as best they could, and the old man in an adjoining room was engrossed with his ledger. Suddenly near the door of the apartment in -which the young people were making merry, a soft footstep was hcaid rapidlyap proaching aud in a second or two the door was abruptly pushed open and disclosed on the threshold a figure that would have smitten ;to the ground one with a clearer conscience than was possessed by the pre sent occupants of the room. No wonder then that the two girls who, when they had discovered (.sometime after, the baseness of their brother's conduct had taken no steps to release themselves from suspicion, by assist ing Miua to obtain redress, at the sudden aud unexpected appearance of this appara tion, should spring from their chairs, aud spreading out their hands before them to ward off the ghastly spectre burst out into hysterical laughter, and fall insensible on the iloor.

Mina, her delirium somewhat subdued and her strength fast failing, glanced round the room with the strange calmness of one whose reason had fled (so says oldbh>ckJob who was in attendance at the time) and recognis ing it as the same apartment in which the mock marriage had taken place, now affec tionately drew towards Rupcit and with a ghastly smile desired him to admire the boy which she had brought to show him, and with the remark she pressed the little babe's rigid, chilly face on its wanton father's cheek. The touch seemed to recall him to consciousness, for from the effects of habitual and prolonged excesses rapidly undermining a frame that had never b;cn robust at any time, his present, health was in a very shattered state, and the [sudden appearance of his victim wilh the face of a corpse and in the habiliments of the tomb, had frozen the blood in his veins, and bound him to his chair utterly paialysed and speechles". Housed him to his petriucd condition by the touch of the corpse of the poor infant, Rupert sprang from his chair and rushed towards tho door, pursued by one corpse having a little life still remain nig within it and holding another corpse quite stiff and cold in its outstretched hands. Before however he had gained the door it was pushed opeu from without and the old man entered tho room. Havin™ heard the screams and the unusual coniino"

tion issuing from the room occupied b'v M 1 children, he had laid down his ledger ar,^ left his office to ascertain the cause? Th unusual and unexpected sight that met V eyes startled and fora moment ai)r*Il" I him, and he detained Rupert to enon'if what it nil meant; but bis wretched S' intellects were not in a fit slate to .enahl him to express himself with ar.ycohWen All that the old man could gather from hF* I was "mad" " mad," and *urmiijinc« rn ? these words, end not iecogniziagMuj»( face from theiavagcs illnefs had^rou'ohti its and the strange unearthly garment hanging around her, he hastily Bnmraoi ,.! . a domestic to assist him aud atterrjjH e <fj seize the supposed Mina's and restore V to her proper guardians.

"I heardherialM&li continued, " call down ' justice' rifttt earth, not revenge, but simple juatiwjanj as a servant worn-out in the seryicwaj Master and in the presence of this tictia,! warn yo\i that the prayer of the inbooatj never passed over.

Then waving otf contemptuously he added -"Aiwpjl men and restore to the widow and.'oijJm the food and shelter you have robbedthett,rf that their gratitude may bethedroftotod your tongue."
