THE HATJIfTBD MAN.
In tVie Spring of 1841 I chanced to
be io Mcsiua, a seaport of Sicily, and
while there,l was invited to visit the
r, -ctztcnsive vintage of D- & M io.
( Theic locatiou was io a pleasant valley
> soiup throe miles baok from the city, and
beneath a portion ot their grounds was
| extended a large wine vault, eisbraoing
an area of two miles. After accompa
nying M——zo, the junior partner,
through the long Fine arbors and orange
groves, we descended to the vault, and
after passing nearly half the length of
one of the pipe tiers wo came to a desk
where a man was writiug.
il Th«re is one of your own country
men," said M zo, "and he will ac
company you through the vaults."
My conductor called to the man, who
quickly dropped his pen, stepped down
from the stool and came forward. 110
was employed as clerk in (he exporting
department, for the purpose yf filling up
bills, invoices, etc., for the Amerlcau
and English merchant^.
"You will fiud, him a strange sort of
a. man," whispered M zo, "but he
i|, notwithstanding, a good/ellQw."
II , for so my compauion had
called him, was a tall, wc!l-tuada man,
apparently on tbts bdtter side of - forty,
with a pleasing, intelligent look. His
hair, which was quite luxurious, was
ulmofct whitp, and about his countenance
there were evident marks of suffering.
His eyes, when he first gazed on me
which was with a furtive, trembling
glance—had an inexpressible look of
wi kin ess in them, and a cold, fearfal
shudder seemed to run through his
frame. Gradually he grew more com
posed, and as ho shewed me around
among the ]Mpo flanked avenues, casting
his huge lantern here and there to show
me.the many and various wine 4, he be
gan to talk up With considerable free
dom, though ho yet betrayed a strange
ness of manner, a sort of flaring of
voice and gesture, that could not fail of
exciting my ewr!o*ity. A* Msrrel ob
server, who might have judged only
from his appearance, would have thought
- hint slightly insane; and even I felt a
conviction that his mind was not exactly
an sound- it ghould- be.
| "Do yon reside in New York Vbe
asked, as we (topped for a moment at
the extremity of th« Vault.
1 told him that! did not belong there,
' though I had spent part of the winter
and spring in that oitv.
i "I have a wife in that State Eomt
whore, aad perhaps a child, bat I have
not heard from tbon'for a long time."
"Does she not write to you V I in
quired.,
• "She does not know wjicrc I am."
"Do you not write ?"
"Me !" he uttered with a sudden start,
a cold trlftbor shaking his frame the
| while. "Ah, sit, I dare not trust my
- euperscription nor my autograph in —."
He heaitated-r-loetkad at uie wildly
for ap instant, aad then, starting on, he
began to enlarge upon the different ages,
qualUiea and vintage* of the wine.—
' i Twice I tried to briug him back to th*
t subject be had so abruptly left, but .i(,
was no avail. At length we oaui.e bask
to the ateps that'led up to the surfaoo of
the earth. Tho sun had already set,
-and the stars wore beginning to sparkle
in the blue arch above as. H re
* marked that he had no idea it was so
and added witlj the happiest smile
that I had aeon him yetjexpress, that be
supposed it was hecause he had had such
pleasant company, at the same time
assuring'mo that I Was the only Ajucr
ican with whom he had held a social
p.. Tnni
oonvorse for over a y«ajr. Ai ho wag.
about to close the vaulffor the night, I
proposed ho should accompany mc to my j
oafg, take supper with uiu, and then wn}k
* with me about tbo city. It was some j
time before fie would Consent to this'
" arrangement ; and while ho wa's eon
sijering upon it I could see that
was an interna/ strugglo of no smalt
t moment. He appeared to me not un
' like a man rttys 'debating Whether
be should attack a den of rattlesnakes.
After awhila, howevsr, he couscntod
i go, though: there was a marked roluc
taaoe in Ml mannir. Hs Atkig^Mhed
* the light' in hlh lanterh, ga«i «p and
) dawn tha'long avenues to see that no
, spark ai fife li»J accidtutally bona drop
iJ nnd th> n> ha followed oie to tlw :
l «tw»e st«fs, and having' seeitroH the 1
diiurt, lie signified that he was fit uiy
service. The direct way to my cafe,
DANBURY, N. C.", THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1877.
which was on the broad quay, lay through
the heart of the oity ; but my compan
ion insisted upon taking a more circuit
ous route, and as ho led the way, he
took me (trough the narrowest and dark
est streets and passages he could find.
"Mr. C——," safd he, as we wcro
ertiergiug from One of these dark pass
ages, "there wasjan American merchant
arrived yesterday from New York, and
I know not who may havo come in the
vessel. It is for this resson that I
avOld the public places."
In an instant the idea flashed upon'
me that my oompanion was a convict,
or, at least, a criminal who had been
g>iilty of pome heinous crime in hi« na- 1
tive country, and was consequently '
afraid'of detection. The more I thought 1
of it the more I becamo convinced that ;
such was the fact, and I could now ac
count for his strange conduct in this
fear, and in the gnawings of a guilt
burdened conscience. Yet he was a
welcome companion for all that, and I
felt sure that his punishment had been
full and ample.
II gazed furtively about as we
entered the cafe; and, at his request, I
ordired supper in a private room. He
laughed and chatted freely, and the more
I saw or him the more I liked him. Af
ter we had finished our meal, we started
on our proposed walk. It was nearly 11
o'clock when wo thought of returning,
and as we wore passing the smallchurcli
of St. Joseph, I noticed that the doors
were open, and that io the center of the
church there was a sable bier, around
which was burning a number of amall
wax tapers. I proposed that we should
enter and look for a moment at the
corpae. My friend made no objection.
In one of the confessionals noar the door
sat an old monk, and very naturally I
asked of him who it was that rested upon
the bier, not knowing that most of the
interments from this church were in be
half of charity.
The monk informed me that it wag,
bho body of a man who came on *>»i)re'
from the American ship that tfame in
the day before. He bad been very sick
and weak when he left the ship, but he
was determined to land, and do i
sioh of the Soew could alter him in hie i
determination. He had reached the 1
quay, but he lived dot to cross it. The i
kind monies of St. Joseph bad taken
chai'ge df the body.
We slowly, reverently approached the
sombre acene. Upon the breoat of the ,
deceased were (he various articles that
had been found in his possession, con
sisting of an apparently well-filled purse,
a pocket-comb, a watch, and a heavy
double-barrelled pistol, the latter of j
which tbo monk informed us had been j
loaded with extraordinary charges of
powder, balls and buckshot. I gazed {
upon the face of the dead, and even in |
its sunken, marble-like rigidity, there
waa t , a startling expression of intense
resolution, as though some fell purpose |
which death had agt subdued, still
dwelt io the hushed bosom. As I still
gated, I heard a stifled cry at my side,
ans on lurajpg I was half frightened by
the expression of my companion's coun-
tenance. llis eye balls seemed aclually
starting from their sockets; his mouth
was halt open and fixed; his hands,
which were extended towards the corpse,
trembled like vibrating harpstrings,
his-very hair seemed fretful. He moved
nearer towards tho bead of the deceased,
looked another the pallid
face, and sinking down upon his knees,
he clasped bis hands toiyard heaven ;
"QicatGod, I thank Thee! I thank
Thee !" he ejaculated in frantic tones,
. and then he arose and looked 9000 more
upon tho features of the corpse. Then .
j his eyes wandered to the heavy pistol
j that lay upon the sable pall, and while
I a cold shuddeV passed over him he took
j mo by the arm f
"Come, opine," said he, ''come with
mc to your cafe, and I will tell you a
strange story." ,
Without hooding the - mute astonish
ment *f the monk, I followed II; —
My companion's nerves had become
somewhat oomposed, and I Qpuld gee
there was intense depicted
in qvery lineament of hia opuntenauep..

I wwtbeti well to do in Hie world, be- 1
in* a clerk in ft heavy mercantile hnuie,
1 and ete long it WBB arranged that we
! should be maaried. Abont a week pre

in company with one of kor female ac- j
quaintanoe* You can judgs of my 1
feelings undor these aireainstances much
belter than I ean deeoribo thein. 1
turned away siok at heart, and on the
very next day reoeived indnbitable evi- |
denceof the otter infidelity of theobjeot I
of my affoetiona. 1 at onee broke off |
the engagement. tlpSn hei«»£ *pw*tio«*d
i by Mac of my «ou)penioDS as to the j
I cause of my oourse, I nrvguardodly, and
! perhaps foolishly, revealed to them the I
whole secret. The story, as having I
come from me, got wings and soon I
ppread among the lady's friends and ac- (
quaiotances. • j
"A few dap afterward a young man 1
about my own age called irtto the store 1
and came'«p to the desk where I was 1
writing. His hands were ticrvoitaly j
clasped together and his fsreo was livid 1
with rage. Ho told mo that I had for- 1
ever blasted the reputation of his sister 1
—that I had faithlessly deserted her '
and left her broken-hearted. I attfempt- )
ed to reason with him, but I might as '
well have reasoned with a Hgbtflifig 1
bolt. He demanded instant satisfaction 1
and proposed that I should acconlpiiny i
him over od tho Long Island side and
n j
fight him. My natural timidity woild 1
have prevented me from complying with '
such a request, and I had also higher' *
scruples, antf of course I refused. Then '
he called me a base coward, and sffare '
that lie would have my life. I com- (
plained of him before a justice ; fie wo? '
apptdhended, publicly tried, fined anfl '
plabcd under bonds to keep the peace. ■
"After that I met liiui in Broadway, i
• 'Ho stopped me and whispered in my
Mr. no swore, by the inpst fearful oath :
a man could take, that he would hunt
m 6 through the world till he had ac- .
complislied his purpose. I knew that
he meant just what he had said, and fear
began to take possesion of my bosom.
1 Many times I discovered that ho was
i doggitog me about, but I always man
aged to keep among a crowd is 1 walked I
I along the streets. I dated not to bfing I
him to trial again, for 1 might fail to
I make oat a rase, and it wonld only tend i
to incenae my enemy still more. At 1
length I feared to walk the street*,-for
cne night is I was passing a dark alloy I
near the head of .Cherry street, I heard i
| the report of a pistol cloae to IM, and
, a bullet passed through my hat. I knew
> who fired that'pistol, but I had Do eti- I
, donee ! I folt that my life was not safe
| in that city, and secretly T movod to a
' email town in the woetern part of the
State of Massachusetts where I engaged
with a goodi dealer; Hare I took my
self a wife ; but 1 had oot been married
over a month when I saw my enemy
pass the door of the store and .look in.
He a.iw me and Rotated his finger at me.
The cold*weat stood in huge drop* upon
my brow, and my fears came buck more
powerful than ever,' At I cuo
trive'd io get my employer to go home
with me, and oa the 'way 1 heard low,
stealthy footsteps behind mo. I knew
that 1 was dogged I 'You are wioe 1' 1
heard a voire pronounce as I tamed into ■
my yard, and as I turned 1 saw a dusky
figure owing off boocalh the shade of
the roadside trees. The next day 1 scot
word to my employer that I was siok,
and I kept tbo house all day. •J ex
plained all to my wile, and she agreed
to go with me wherever 1 wished. Sev
eral times during that day ,1 saw my
sworn murderer pass the house and gaxe
intently upon the windows, bat be did
not see me, 1 ''V
. "I got a boy to gc to the stable and
procure a horse and wagon, and, after |
dark, to take it round to tho back rand,
nearly a mile frotn the house. My Wife
| and myself tied 'u|J such artloles as we
j could carry, and taking all my money
with mo, we stylo out through tho back
I garden and: gainod the crossroad in
J safety. The wagon was there, and, hav-
J ing entorei! it, the boy drove us nil' at

I turned, haVhig Stft frortiiwd to ki»|i

stage was bound to Lenox, which pluee
I we reached before dark. From thence '
! I went to Hudson, crossed the North '
1 Itiver and made my way to the western
1 part of New York, where I bdught toe
a smtrll cottage. ■■>■ >
"In less than a year my enemy found
me again, and I saw him standing i'> '
' front of my house. Me looted wild aitQ
hazard, but I could see that there was
1 an iron determination upon his features. 1
1 One night T heard a grating against otrd'l
' of my windows, and on the tfxt mo
urtwt my" dftg, a pewcrfol Newfoundland.
! hifl sprtfog from hia. kennel. I dared
I niit go down, for I knew too well the I
I cause of the disturbance. Tho noise '

morniftpf ffhWrtd-my dog'tyMg beneath I

I might have disturbed the neighbors, Shd 1
I he had for the present desisted from his !
i murderous intent. I made arrange- |

i and taking a small sum of money with !
I mo, t fled from my homo.
I "I went to Now Orleans, and there j
imy enetay at length followed me ! For
three years I skulked from place to '
i place, the very embodiment of tef+or j
and weakening fear; but go where I !
1 would, ttlie man was pure to fiaunt 'me. j
i Sfx (liferent times Tie fired at me with !
1 his pistol, and twice he wounded me.— j
• Our two lives seemed to have but one j
1 end and aiua. His was to tak* mine, '
1 aud mine to asoapo his fell revenge 1 I i
) beoanie almost a walking skeleton—the
fall of a leaf would startic me. At {
I length I got a chance to go to Kagland.
I I was in London, standing one day at 1
) tlw door of an ale-house, when—O, I
I God!—l saw my life hunter psss. lie]
I was as pale and sunken as myself—rest- |
[ lesa and nervous; but his blaok eyes i
i gleamed like balls of fire. -Hfe did not I
I sec me. I hurried doWtito the Thames, I

| there I was fortunate enougn to find a j
i bark bound directly for the Mediterra
-1 nean. I got passage in her, and was at !
i length landed in this city, whero I htive j
' been ever ftince. I have regained some- ;
1 what of my former health spirhs, i
! though that 6ame dread fear has not
, failed tobaunt me.
"My enoriiy must have found me out .
even here, but, thankXtod, be has passed
I from the power to harm IM more. A 1

I n did meet his wife again, for I j
j saw them bpth at the White Mountains |
