ORIGINAL STORY.

J In an hour the party returned . ?nd
reportect that the storm had abated
it was about day break and that El
sie was no worse ; but that 'she had
called, id her sleep on V-iss Grace, and
that Flora was in an agony : of dread
lest the night should bring some harm
to her young mistress, and begged
thattbey would prayffor her, , for
them both, fhe bad such a sinking ' of
the heart - 4 " 4 "
Bress de chile, da's de truf , dat'l

Here Maumcr interposed, repeating
Flora s request and tacir religious ser-
vies was renewed with an earnestness
and zeal that made it penetrate to the
house where the girl knelt at her win-
dow and joined noiselessly but with
beautiful faith in the devotion to
which she could not give her pres
ence. -
Xt about eight o'clock the driver
appeared at the door and inquired :
Wat's de matter? unt rElso

Oh, Prince, she seen Mbs Grace-
Wat's come o' her? Wats come o ole

Nobody da but Jliss Polly and Tony

A wr of words, o conflicting claims
arose, which was finally settled by
Peter's declaring that they would nev
er roach her at that rate, that no time
was to be lost, and the fewer going the
better. After some demur they as
sented to this, seeing that it was rea
sonable, and all other claims gave way
before Maum Riua's and Peter's.
Even on this occasion their anxious
regard phuwed itself in the usual form,
and with tears and blessings they sur
reptitiously conveyed into the little

fears of Chloe while preparing her toi
1st. The whole household had 6lept
late on this particular morning, in the
absence of the master ud the conse
quent late nd light breaktast of the
young mistress and her protectress,
Miss Polly Landron. Tlis lady house
keeper, friend and companion of the
girl since her mother's death, in lieu
BxxVVoTiS unconscious'y. leaned on
the strong elastic spirit of her young
charge.
The inmates of the house ten were
these two ladies, Chloe, Marshall tbe
cook, and Tony, ostler. Each of the
brothers had a valet when at home, but
- t. i
these had been remanded to the plan
tation as supernumeraries.
: Tbe negro race are proverbially
. sound sleepers wheu religious excite
to ent does not keep them awake, The
alarm of the earlier stages of the night
when the houso was shaken in the
strong grasp of the tempest brought its
natural reaction of heavy tleep in the
true at daTa." No life was astir be
fore eight o'clock in the basement where
were the kitchen and servants rooms.
The last year's Equinox was compara
tlvjly mild and J ad come on gradual
ly ; and the catastrophe of a few years
ago was but vaguely thought of in
their simple mindd as unprecedented
and not to Le rivalled. lor was it
not the herald prophet of Mrs Ilaxle-
hurst'a death? Grace and Miss Polly
.were wiih ber seeking health among
the mouutains. No bod v. now Lere
had witnessed it, cave Tony, and his
mind readily received color from those
j about him. Seeing no execsjive alarm,
I that rate, and mean while it was more
sensible : nd cotnfortublo to remain by
the kilcLen fire until it ctasci.
Miss llailchurst fell asleep.
Ta3t
midnight, over Keats Kudyrniou.
Tho Voices of tha rising tenijttst sup
piled her an accompaniment to the
music of thought and rythm, euhanciog
iU poorer; as :he de:p thunder roll of
an organ s bss makes fitting back
ground for the lighter weaving of mcl
ody and varying air. Her sleep com
ing thus auid sweet fane es. and rock
ed to the music of wind and wave, was
dreamless ; and she awoke refreshed I
and strong. It was then with perfect
fearlessness but with exhilarating ex
citement that she flung open her case
ment and looked toward the sea. The
water was as high as at spring tide,but
she had observed it tlitU otteu.
The view was iucxpressibly grand.
It took her breath with admiration
and awe. but ats aliened no servile feir.
We watch the royal liou behind the
bars of his secure cage, and mark bis
majesty an i grace Tith a cc.Uin pleas,
ant tingling of nerve atid exhilaration
of terror ; but meet him free in the
jungle. To Grac-s the lion was chain
ed , and she exulted in the wild car
nival of elements, holding still to the
thought, 'Thus far shalt thou come,
and no furthei, and hero shall thy
proud waves be stayed. And she sang
out the Marseillaise, in debance or
equally iu sympathy with the storm
oemon. The 1 i iirrA W. llnuris wnrp -rrttf
ed with white caps. They dahhed np
almost to the summit cf Sumter as if
measuring arms with the giant. She
could see them leaping at the Battery
as mad with rago and eager to sweep
away the city. She could not lean for
ward to ohperve the encroaching waves
below, for the gale forbade t a miliar
approach as it shrieked furiously by.
The scene held her long by its sublim
ity, and she turned from it with a sigh,
insatiate of iU beauty. . , i
y iss Polly met her on the staircase
as she was leisurely descending, and
drew her quickly to the northern piaz
za, There the old lady dropped breath-
lesly on a seat, and pointing with both
hands, asked, y the gesture rather
than by words.
What does it mean?
Carts and buggies lined the street,
piled with oil cloth bundles, boxes
and children. Whole families were
moving hurriedly, and along the east
ern shore a sheet of white foam was
crawling in treacherously and. coiling
around the housci the sea ' serpent !
It is tho Equinoctial storm, she
said, fto"ping to her companion's ear
for no words could be heard spoken
ordinarily. Wo must hasten to the
Garrison. Dja'i far; there is no
cause for alarm. Pack what articles
of clothing you can r.'ost readily com -
mand iu the largest valine in the trunk
room. Put on my water-proof suit.
I will get it for you. Tony will cairy
you iu the buggy.
. Bat the old lady trembled and clung
to her,' utterly unnerved.
I have not long to live, I know,V
she said, but to die so I
But we will not die yet, not unless
we sit here instead of seeking safet."
But she was faint and helpless, and
it was fully ten minutes before .Grace
was relievod by Chloe, coming to seek
her. She was , instantly dc patched
for wine and camphor, and afterward
foi Tony. By the time a vigorous ap
plication cf both liquids had- rctored
Miss Polly to soma degree of alf-po-
sesr-ion, ar.d she culd accompany Grace
to follow her directions, there was a
violent knocking at the front door.
