grow ing visible into the deep b ue, like
spirits yielding reluctantly to the in
cantations of magicians ; their ranks
led by Jupite . as evening star, which
trembled in full effulgence over
the yet flushed horizni of the
west.
To Grace and her tompanion the
scene was too sufficing, aud the en
joyment too deep for couversation,save
an occasional remarking of some tran
sient effect , as" the dashing up and
flashing down of a school of silvery
whi'ings, iu a shower of phosphorescent
drops. This subtle silent enjoyment
in Common of sytq-athetic souls, is
most; real communion ; it is also most
electrical and iaugorous.
They had turuea directly south prom

swept directly eastward toward Sum
ter i Thence their course lay across the
outer bar, while the tid was yet high,
to Fort Moultrie and into the small

As, they left the vast circular ba.e

in each of the thirty vessels, save the
helmsman, asleep. When this little
excitement was over they had left
astern the harbdr's mouth with its
loud thunder of breakers, its fresh land

ing low over the bar; and 'were" 'flying

was-gliding on leisurely, at times with-
in one hundrtid yards ot the shore.
j After some little laughing resistance
oil Miss loot's part, the guitar was
poised on her lence, and at John's
ie(uest, seconded by all, sang in a
sweet clear voice : the delightful old
ballad, Beautiful Yeuicc, Bride of the
Sea.' ;
, When she had finished, Grace re
marked that Loyal Aad written her
from Venice, that Charleston, seen
from ti e water, very strongly reicmbld
the Queen of the Adriatic.
4 It is true,' said Mr. Girardeau.. I
remember the moment when the re
semblance first struck us. 'ibis even
ing recalls the scone, with but one el
ement wauting. We were rowing in
the sea at this hour in an atmosphere
flooded with moonlight and song,

Aunetteloor. 4 1 have heird you g'.ng

You have taken us there, Miss An

answered.
But she surrendered to him the iu
strument, and he sang it, one of the
finest things in miotic, perfectly ren
.dered. .
Miss Hazlehurst did not 'look to
ward the city. She was most grateful
that the others did, us they thus looked
ment now. .
Ycu have reversed the storv of the
Sirens, Grace; fee there!
And Miss Iooi pointed to the near
shore. Groups of youug people prom
enading the beach, had gathered in
attitudes of listening, aud all laughter
and audible speech had hushed wheu
the serenade began.
But now the white houses and twink
ling lights of Mount Pleasant were dia
in the distance yet many 'couples, fol
lowing the niusic.had been drawn along
the ! shelving beach nearly to Shcui
