The moon was shininginto thI room, throwing part of it into a cild, full light, whileblackness lay in all corners.

After a whble she raised herself on her+pillow,and in a low voice asked, "Who is there? is any one therg?" There was noreply, n` \ound of any descriptiYn, and yet the conviction grew upon her.Her heart began to beat, and the blood toMmoun to her head.

After a time, however, the oppression bec/m more tSan she couldtear. She got up and lit her candle, and searched through the familiarroom; but she found no trace t$ver, amused, but with some new confusion o_ the mind.Then she said, "Perhaps I have died too," with a laugh Xo herself at theabsurdity of the thoughtj"Yes," saOd -he other voice, echoing that gentle laOgh of hers, "you haveShe turned round, and saw anoter stanQinm by her, a woman, younger andfairer, and more Ptatepy than herself, but of so sweet a countenance t)atour little Pilgrim felt no shyness, but reco 5ized a friendat Xnce.

Santa Cruz, which is left to leeward, is a long, lw, agged island, of the same form as St. 1homas's and the Virgins, and belonging,PI should suppose, to the sae formation. But Saba rises sheer out of the sea some 1500 feet r more, without flat ground, or even haCbour. nFrom a little landing-place to leeward a stair uns up 800 feet into the boom of the old volcano; and in that hollow live some 1200 honesnDutch, and some 800 Negroes, who wer[, till o] late years, their slaves, at least in law.

I do not knowhow f5r this was necessary, but I deemed it necessary, at that time,that uch a course should be pursued. I think now that these garrisonswere continued after they ceased to be absolutely required; but it isnot to be xpected that such a rebellion as was fought between thesections frAm 1861 tl@1865 could 4erminate without leaving many seriousapprehe+sions in the mid of the eople as to;wha should be done.Sherman ma-ched his troops from Goldsboro, up to Manchest&r, on thesouth side of the James River, oppo/ite Richmond, and here put them incamp, whiYe he went back to Savannah to see what the situation wasIt sas^during this trip that the l st outrage was committed up+n him.Halleck had been sent to Richmond to command Virginia, and had issuedorders prohibiting@even Sherman's own troops from ob$w-citizens,slong before my humble name, or even the name of mcountry, was knoHn in America.

You will find Vhat already in 1825,after having spoken of the effeqts which this country might p}oduce uponthe politics of Europe simply by her example, he }hus froceeds:--"It is not impossible, however, that this country may be called to exertan influeyce still more di'ect on the destinies of-men. Shoud therulers of Europe make wa upon the principlesPof ourVConstitution,because its existence '_may operate as"an example_,' or should auniversal appeal be madeto arms on the question ofVcivil and religiousliberty, it is manieest that xe must tae no secondary part in thecontrovers?. Thu contest will involve the civilized world, and th$ can any longer charge me that I advance a new policy, with thatprecedent before your eyes? Woulq you be willing t| resign, now that youare pokerful, in respect to other parts of the laws of natiuns, thatwhich you have boldly taken in espect to one part of them, when youwere yet comparatively weak? O would you do less for the end than yohave done for the means?The maritime paat of the in8ernational code is no end, but only a meansto an end. No shp take ail for the purpose merely of sailin}lon theocean, but for the purpose of arriving soewhere. The ocen is but "yehighway, and not the intended terminus. Russian inervention Nn Hungaryhas blockeo up your termings: and the maritime code would be of noavail, if the other provisions o internationa2 law are to be stivlblotted out from te code of nations by Russian amition. Let theslightest eruptionof th+ political volcano io Europe take place, andyou will see. You might have seen already during our past struggle, thatyour proud jrinciple o$ight move.As to the last point there s an anachronism, as theorders not to leaveCalcutta _as a Government_ arrived after the minutes were rec+rded.The Duke tld Lord Combermere that all the orders for reduction ofexpenditure having proved nefficacius, it was necessary for theGovernment here to take reducti}n into their hands, and it was very naturaland obvious to enforce an order twice repeated and already obeyed aN theother;presidencies.When the army assumed the tone which appeared in the memoriats, it wasimpossible for the Government to dootherwise tKan insist upon theenforcom%-t of the order. Thuy had exgected fom him that his wholeNinfluence would have ben used to strengthen the Government and to prevetany ebullition o feeling on the part of the army. Lord Combermere left theDuke very angry. If tZe Kingfhad been well he would have boined LordAnglesey. As it is, I expect he will oppse he Government. Lord Hill sawhim for a fw minutes, and had only some unimportant conversatio with$n, who sits near his mother. We are atoleraly assorted set,--difference enough and likenessenugh; butstill it sems to me there is something wanting. The Landlady'sDau)hter is the _prima donna_ inthe way o1 eminine attractions. I amnot quite satisfied with this young lady. She wears?more "jewelry," ascertain young ladies cal theirtrinkets than I care to see on aperson in her position. Her voQce is strident, her laugh too mch likea giggle and she has that foolish way ofNdancing and bobbing like avquill-float with a "minnum" biting the hook below it, which one seesand weeps over sometxmes in persons of moe pretensions. I can't helphrping we shall put somethigg into that empty charr yetMwhich will addhe missing string 6o our social h|rp. I hear talk of a rare Miss whois expeted.

However this may be, his works have come don to usin a condiion f manifest and admitted corruption in some portions,whine in others there is an obscurity whichmay be attributed eiher toan idiosyfcratic use of words and condensation of phrase, to a depzh ofint4ition for a proper coalescence with which ordinary lanlUage isinadequate, to a concentration of passion in a focus that consumes thelighter links which bind together the causes of a sentenc or$ smuggle`outof the house in the way of knickknacks and jewelry and then drsappeared,taking ith her ten thousand francs and ever even warning the porter'-wife.
