IRENE PAGr'E;
THE VARYING SCENES OF A LIFETIME.
BY ELS IE GABXETTE.
(cojrrnruED.)
CHAPTER VI.
i
"1 " A GATHERING CLOUD.
JMAlas! when fiendish passion claimi the heart, 4
Or sordid interest rules the will,
How many a heart we may make iad !
How many a home with sorrow fill !
" Surely it must have been!" exclaimed a
r nnnasome, aart-eyea man, as ho sat in his
room the evening of Irene's departure, "yet
nowcouki it be possible?. I mnst know the
; truth of this. I will go to old Dover's cottage,
and see what I can find but, I know she is
,v ' there ; for I watched Ingram, and I know' he
, carried her thcro. Though her fortune is gone
I will have her, and then won't I piy her for
nil her flirting? . Ha! ha! ha! let me away."
So saying, he arose, and quaffed an inebriat
ing draught, th.en went out on his fiendish niis--ion.
, . , ,., . :' T' A
A short distance from the honse he came
I near meeting lioland Ingrum, as he went away,
but he plunged quickly into the woods, and
was not observed. ' V .
"Floods, : flames and furies!" he exclaimed,
. if I didn't come near spoiling it all. Jf th;it
monkey had seen me! but he didn't, so I must
; proceed." .'
He arrived at the cottage, and crept stealth
ily around until lie horned the room which con
( 'tained tlie olject of his: search, and he then
. neated himself until all was still in Ue house;
then arising he climbed noiselessly to tlie win
dow and gazed in. ' !
All doubt was then removed; for there, on a
low couch, lay irene, with one delicate white
hand laying gently on the snowy.counterpane,
while the' other supported her fair soft cheek.
A demoniac smile of exultation crossed his
face as ho descended and made his way quickly
' back to his room.
",11a! lm! ha!" he cried, as ho seated himself
again by the fire, fortune is surely in my favor
" .this time. What a lucky tiling it was for me
that went out this evening. But how shall I
proceed. Ah! thanks to my skillful brain. I
- have it alrandj. I will keep a good lookout
nntiUhe h:is recovered, and then I will write a
hasty, note, in Ingram's name, telling her to
meet 'him some certain night, at a stated place,
importance to commn
nicate to her. Her curiosity will be excited,
and of course she will go. Then, hurrah for
me, I will have a place provided for her, and a
horse in readiness, and I will conduct my pret
ty bird there, and make' her my wife, or make
; her think so. ; Dear life, won't she toss
i that proud head of , hers when she sees me, but
little will I care ; she will be in my power, and
" 110 powers or eaitli or hell shall ever take her
. from me again.'V
; ; Reader do you ask, who this cold-Wooded
, villain is? It is ho other than Seaton Ray.
1o not; shudJer witli superstitious horror. It
is no ghost, nor sixjctre from tle tombs. Al
though he was left by Uie injured Ingrum for
dead, he had received but a slight wound ; but
- his base, cowardly heart felt the injuries he' had
inflicted on Roland Ingrum, and Iks truly fear-
.cd him, and he concealed himself until he leard
Z? tho CHil.ure of CoL Pgo. and he then depart
ed for, the iity of P , where he plunged
. fecktessly into all the crimes and dissipations
which usually follow a fiendish passion disap

i But hero with many sighs we leave him,
floating swiftly down the current of sin yes,
, hurrying on with fearful strides to that brink
from which so many inmiortal beings have
plunged into the fathomless gulf of perdition.
, vvTwo months passetl, and still Irene remained
? At Dover cottage, i The dark, cold clouds of
- winter were gone, and the gentle zephyrs and
' pleasant sunshine of spring cast gladness oyer
t ' the earth. In the pleasant society of the gen
tie Ella, and the kind parental tenderness of
JVUr, nnu Mrs, Dover she became almost happy.
f- The sisterly tenderness she felt for Ella, and
tlie quiet pleasantness of the cottage and its
surroundings, soothed her mind and her face
-wore n expression of pleasing1" melancholy in
stead of the proud,' haughty air, or the look of
. j i sullen grief and endurance that it had worn In
by-gono days. :
' She had become4; familiar with all tho wild
walks oi the surrounding country , and her chief
r : amusement was to wamlcr among the sublime
seenery bf nature sometimes with Ella, and
. . i.Muetiiuu3 wiui uo i-uiujmnion save a book.

t; 'wound its silvery way through the beautiful
; grounds In the rear of the cottage, and seatin
Js herself an a rude bench, neath a spreading wil-
; low sho would experience a degree of Iran

' t.h(t morning she observed a note on the sill of

follows: , , , '
- "DkaeIbenk:

Irene's face paled as shc read, and all thro'
that day her mind wS Luy picturing scenes of
coming duress Her melancholy vv:W observed
by her friends, but they attributed it to hefor
luer distress and said nothing, j "

Fank in solemn V,,i.. , . LUUrso and
beneath tl)e
hills, and Irene
."ff"n went out to mcct k
western
cr
wild, wandering, though kind and lovinir
brotner. ; Alas! unconscious one, how little she
knew what a dark and dreadful enemy sho
would meet. When she arrived nil was still,
save tlie cheery chirp of insects and the solemn
purl of the gentle brook, and she seated herself
on tlie bench which she had often occupied, to
await the; coming of her brother. She had sat
but a few moments when she heard ! footsteps
advancing and quickly she was "enveloped In a
heavy cloak. She endeavored to shriek, but
her utterance was impeded and she felt herself
born quickly along.' At length she came to a
stop, and she was placed in a . low and scantily
lurmshed room. At first her powers of endur
ance almost gave way, and her frightened im
agination presented such doleful pictures of fu
tine distress that sleep was impossible; but
wearied nature at length triumphed and she
sank upon her mean couch, and sleep wooed
her to his embrace. Thu$ we will leave her for
a time and return to Dover Cottage
. Tho following morning the .family noticed
that Irene did not- ariso 'W early as nsuaT, but
they pad no attention to it until j the breakfast
hour arrived and still she did not appear, and
Ella flew to her room, but soon returned, palo
and trembling, stating that she was -not there,

CHAPTER VII.
IRENE'S RELEASE.
The morning after Irene's imprisonment, she
arose from her miserable bed just as the first
dawn of day gilded tM eastern WwixonTShb
had not disrobed herself the previous niirht.
and consequently had n0j toilet rto make, ami
ed to tho door, but shuddered as she found it
j V...UIIUU in.1 iwui. one wniK1
securely fastened. She then proceeded to the
only window the room contained, and found it
fastened also, For some time she stood gazing
one through the small, dingy window, at the
earth, her whole soul bathed in meditation ; but
aias: ner thoughts were not clothed in tlie bril
liant liuelof joyous anticipation, but in the soni-
garn ;oi juismai, uread uncertainty. She
had remained thus for some time when the door
opened and Seaton Ray entered. Her face
paled and she almost sank to tho floor,' but he
agproached and grasped her hand as ho
claimed in a light tone : !
CX-
"Good, morning, cousin Irene; it has been
some time since we met but, dear m

ha! ha! ypu thought I was dead, did you? Not
yet but pome, you don't look a bit glad to sep
a body, while I am perfectly delighted to sec
my proud little cousin once more."
At these words the expression of horror that
at hrst overspread her countenance faded, and
in its place came one more scornfully eold than

reason tor the comparative slackness.
In prints thcro was moderate activity, few
new fall styles being yet exhibited, and tho
lower priced chocolates going off rapidly.
Print cloths were held firmly at 5Jc for ex

more than 5c. transaction were fow and unim

and there is a disposition to hobl on to stock.
There I no extensivo quantity of good on

nerative. Manufacturers are preparing for a
striko of tho operatives within tho next six or
seven weeks. It is ruinous, they say, to run
the mill at present prices of goods nnd high

them for any lengthened period. Tliat tho

tho inevitable reduction of wages -Is known
from experience, to bo a very unlikely event.
