A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
Ono morning last April, as I was passing
through Boflton Common, I met a gentle
man lounging along The Mall. This man's
face forced itself upon me, and a very sin
gular face it won. Ilia eyes were faded,
and hia hair, which he wore Ion;, was
flecked with grivy. Ilis hair and eyes, if I
way Bay so, wero " seventy years old, the
rest of him not over thirty. The youth
fnlness of hi.i figure, the elasticity of his
gait, and the venerable appearance of his
Head, wcro incongruities that drew more
than ono pair of , enrioua eyes towards
him.
Then, next morning I again encountered
him on The Mall.
at my
" Would yoa ?" replied a voice
Bine, i mrneii ana lacea jut. tx -, a
neighbor of mine, who laughed heartily at
finding mo talking to myself. " Well," he
added, rellectingly, I can tell you this
man a Btory; and if you can match the nar
rative with anything a curions, I shall be
glad to hear it" -"
You know him, then ?T . i
Yes and no. I happened to bo lu Taris
when ho was buried.
."Buried 1" r r
"Wall, strictly speaking, not buried;
but something quite like it. If you have a
sparo hour, continued my interlocutor,
" we'Jl eit on this bench, and I will tell von
all I know of an affair that modo some noise
in Pari a oouple of years ago."
Three persons were sitting in a chamber
whoRO ono window overlooked tho Tlace
Vendome. M. Dorine, with his back half
turned on tho other two occupants of tho
apartments, was reading the "Moniteur,"
pauuing from time to timo to wipe his
giuhHcs, and taking scrupulous pains not to
glance towards tho lonugo on his right, on
which were seated Mademoiselle Dorine
and a young American gentleman, whoso
haudtome faco frankly told his position In
the family. Thoro was not a happier man
in I'ans that afternoon than rhihp Wont
worth. In certain natures tho deccst joy
has something of melancholy in it, a pre
sentiment, a Hooting sadness, a feeling
witnont a narao. Went worth was consci
ous of this snbtlo shadow that nicht when
he roso from tho lounge, and thoughtfully
held Julie's hand to his lips for a moment

would accompany you, Thilip, but the
truth is, I am too sad at losing this little
bird to assist you in selecting a caco for
her. By . to-morrow night," he added,
laughingly,- "littlo Julie here will bo an
old lady 'tis such an ago from now until
then." ,
The next morning the train bore Philip
to one of the loveliest spots within thirty
miles of Paris. An hour's walk through
green lanes brought him to M. Martin's
estate. In a kind of a dream the young
I man wandered from room to room, and af
ter dining with M. Martin, completed the
purchase, and turned his steps towards the
station just in time to catch tho express

where he found several letters lying on the

If, in his impatience to see Mademoiselle
Dorine, tho cars had appeared to walk, the
fiacre to creep, at last it turned into the
Place Vendome and drew np before M. Do
. nne a - residence. The door- opened
Philip's foot touched tho first step. The
servant silently took his cloak and hat with
a special deference, he thought; but was he
not now one of the family ?
"M. Dorine," said the servant,! slowly,
" is unable to see Monsieur at present. He
winhes Monsieur to bo shown up to the
$alo." ' -
.'.".Yes, Monsieur." - s I 1 '
"Alone?" . ' "1
" Alone, Monsieur," repeated the man,
looking seriously at Philip,' who could
scarcely repress an exclamation of pleas

The room was JrlTOodJ'5 JivIcrac
. c-uciict siooa A dim U
trestle. A lighted candle, a crucifix, and
some white flowers were on a table near
by. Julie Dorine was dead.
When M. Dorino heard the indescriba
ble cry that rang through the house, he
found Philip standing like a ghost in the
middle of the chamler. :
On the previous night Mademoiselle Do
rino had retired to her room in seemingly
perfect health. She dismissed her maid
with a request to bo awakened early the
next morning. At tho appointed hour the
girl entered the chamber. Mademoiselle
Dorino was sitting in an arm chair appa
rently asleep. Tho candlo had burnt
down to the socket ; a book lay half open
on tho carpet at her feet. Tho girl started
when sho saw that her mistress still wore
an evoningj dress, bho rushed to Madc-raout-Ue
Dorine' side. . It was not slumber.
It waH death. j
Mademoiselle Dorine's wealth, her beau
ty, uio sadness of lier death, and the ro
mance that had in some way 1 attached it
self to her love for the young American,
drew crowds to witness the funeral cere
monies which took placo in the lino d'
Aguesscau. 1 Tho body was to bo laid in
M. Dorine's tomb, in tho Cemetery Mont-
martre,
This tomb requires a few words of de
scription. First, there was a grating of
.migrated iron ; through this you look into
a small vestibule or hall, at the end of which
was a massive door of oak, opening upon a
short flight of stops descending into the
torf k. The vault was fifteen or twenty feet
sqii2?c, ingeniously ventilated from the
coiling, but anlighted. It contained two
sarcophagi tho first hold the remains of
Madame Dorine, long since dead ; the
other was new, and bore on one side the
letters J. D., in monogram,; interwoven
with Jleurs de. lis.
The funeral train stopped at the gate of
the fmall garden that enclosed the placo of
onnai, only the immediate relatives follow
mg tho bearers to the tomb. A slender
wax candle, such as are used in Catholic
Churches, burnt at the foot of the uncovered
sarcophagi, casting a dim glow over the
centre of the apartment, and dcepenincrtho
shadows which seemed to huddle together
inihe corners. By this flickering light the
coffin was placed in its granite shell, the
heavy slab laid over it reverently, and tho
oaken door revolved on its rusty hincres.
shutting out the uncertain ray of sunshine
that had ventured to peep in on the dark-
M. Dorine, muffled in his cloak, threw
himself on the back seat of the carriage
too abstracted in his grief to observe that
he was tho only occupant of the vehiolo.
The rattle of . wheels hod died out of the
air When Phillip opened his eyes, bewil
dered, like a man abruptly roused , from
slumber. lie raised ono arm, and stared
into the surrounding blackness. Where
was he ? In a second the truth flashed
upon him. He had been left in the tomb
While kneeling on the farther side of the
stone box, perhaps he had fainted, and in
the last solemn rites his absenco had been
unnoticed
His first emotion was one of natural ter
ror. 15ut this passed as quickly as it came.
Life had ceased to be so vary precious to
him : and if it were his fate to die at Ju-
ie's side, was not that the fulfilment of the
desire which he had expressed to himself a
hundred times that morning. Was it not
cowardly to yield up witnont a struggle the
ne wnicn he Should cuard for lier sake ?
Was it not his duty to the living and the
dead to face the difficulties of his position
and overcome them if it were within hu
man power ? The vague fear of the super
natural ' that would affect most men in a
similar situation found no room in his
heart He was simply shut into a chamber
from which it was necessary that he obtain
release within a given period. That this
chamber contained the body of the woman
ho loved, so far from adding to the terror
of tho case, was a circumstance from which
he drew consolation. She was a beautiful
statuo now. Her soul was far hence : and
if that puro spirit could return, would it
not be to shield him with her love ? It
was impossible that tho placo should not
engender some thoughts of tho kind.
1 hihp chanced to have in his pocket a
box of wax tapers which smokers use. Af
ter several ineffectual attempts, he succeed
ed in ifirmtinfj one acainst the damn wall.
and by its momentary glaro perceived that
the candle bad been left in the tomb. This
would'servo him in examining the fastenings
oi ino vault, it lie could force the inner
door by any means and reach the grating,
or which ho had an indistinct recollection,
he might hope to mako himself heard.
But the oaken door was immovable, as solid
as tho wall itself, into which it fitted air
tight. Even if ho had had tho requisite
tools thero were no fastemncs to bo re
moved : tho nmcrcs wero set on tho out-
udo.
Having ascertained this, ho replaced the
candlo on tho floor, and leanod acainst tho
wall thoughtfully, watching the blue fan of
name that wavered to and fro. threateninc
to detach itself from tho wick. At all events
he thought, the place is ventilated. Snd
denly Philip fprang forward and cxtin
guished the light His existence depended
upon mat canaio i
He had read somewhere, in somo account
of shipwreck, how tho survivors had lived
for days upon a few candles which one of
the malo passengers had insanely thrown
into tho longboat And hero he had been
burning away his very life.
By transient illumination of ono of tho
tapers, he looked at his watch, sit had
stopped at eleven-but at eleven that day
or tho preceding night ? The funeral, ho
knew, had left itho church at ten. How
many hours had passed sinco then ? O
what duration had been his swoon ?
He picked up the candle and seated him
self on the stone steps. He was a. sanguine
was ravenously hungry now. But ho post
poned tho meal as long as practicable. It
must have been near midnight, according
to his calculation, when ho determined to
try tho first of his four singular repasts.
Tho bit of white wax was useless, but it
served its purpose. 1
His appetite for the time appeased, ne
found a new discomfort The humidity of
the walls and tho wind that crept through
the unseen ventilator chilled him to the
bone. ' To keep walking was his only re
source. A drowsiness, too, occasionally
came over him. It tobk all his will to fight
it off. To fclccp, ho felt, was to die ; and
he then made tip his mind to live.
Very Btrange fancies passed through his
head us he groped up and down th btone
floor of the dungeon. His whole life in de
tail was unrolled before him like a pano
rama the changes of a year, with its bur
den of love and deaths, its sweets and bit
terness, wero epitomized in a second. Ihe
desire to sleep had left him. But hunger
came again.
I'hilip becauio conscious that the gloom,
tho silence, and the cold wcro gradually
conquering him. Tho feverish activity of
his brain brought on a re-action. Ho grew
lethargic, ho sunk down on the steps, and
thought of, nothing. His hand fell by
chance on one of the pieces of candlo ; he
grasped it and devoured it mechanically
this revived him. "How strange," he
thought, "that I am not thirsty. Is it pos
siblo that tho dampness of the walls, which
I must inhale with every breath, has sup
plied the need of water ? Not a drop has
passed my lips for two days, and still I ex
pcrience no thirst whatever."
Tho minutes wero like hours. Now ho
walked as briskly as ho dared up and down
the tomb ; now be rested against tho door.
More than once ho was tempted to throw
himself , upon tho stone collin that held
Julie, and make no struggle for his life.
Only one piece of candle remained, ne
had eaten the third portion, not to satisfy
hunger, but for a precautionary motiva.
He had taken it as a man takes somo disa
greeable drug, upon the result of which
hangs safety. The timo was rapidly ap
proaching when even this poor substitute
for nourishment would bo exhausted. He
delayed that moment. Ho gave himself i
long fast this time. Tho half inch of can
die which he held in his hand was a sacred
thing to him. It was his last defenco
against death.
At length, with such a sinking heart as
he had not known before, be raised it to
his lips. Then he paused, then he hurled
tho fragment across the tomb, then the
oaken door was flung open, and Philip,
with dazzled eyes, saw M. Dorine's form
sharply defined against the blue sky. : 1
When they led him out, half blinded,
into tho broad daylight, M. Dorine noticed
that Philip's hair, which a short time sine a
was as black as a crow's wing, had actually
turned gray in places. The man's eyes,
too, had faded ; the darkness had spoiled
their lustre.
" And how long was he really confined
in the tomb ? " 1 asked, as Mr H con
cluded the story. , .
"Just one hour and twenty minutes 1 "
replied Mr. H ', smiling blandly. ;
Mr. Ii- s narrative made a deep im-
pression on me. -
After this it was but natural I should re
gard Mr. Wentworth with deepened in
terest. 1
" Mr. .Wentworth," I began ; "J"
He interrupted me.
" My name, sir," he said, in an off-hand
manner, " is Jones."
Jo, Jo, Jones, he returned coolly.
'but Frederick."
Mr. Jones, or whatever his name i3, will
never know, unless he reads these pages,
why a man accosted him one morning as
Mr. Wentworth," and then abruptly
rushed down the nearest path and disap
peared in the crowd.
The fact is, I had been duped by Mr.
. Mr. occasionally contributes
story to maeazines. He had .actually
tried the effect of one of his romances, on
me.
Mr. hero, as I subsequently learned, is
no hero at all, but a common-placo young
man who has somo connection with the
building of that pretty granite bridge
which will shortly span the crooked little
lake in the Public Garden.

TIIK principle of LIFK ISSURAJfCK baa
become so well demonstrated, that it is hardly
necessary at this day to go into an argument in its
support , Every individual who .has a family or
aear ones dependent upon nis existence, is in fact,
overlooking if not violating, one of the most im
portant duties of life, in not guarding them against
want and protecting them from poverty, should
death deprive them of his support and assistance.
On an INSURANCE POLICY, procured at a small
premium, a requisite sum is secured in case of
death, to provide them with subsistence through
life.- Securing such a policy not only makes life
pass mora pleasantly, but will bring to the death
bod the happy consolation that your wife and child
ren will not be left deetitate, or to THE COLD,
CHEERLESS SYMPATHY OF AN UNCHARITA
BLE WORLD. To those whose good impulses are
moved to this accomplishment lor their family's
future protection, , : - . h.
T6E JETM LIFE INSURANCE CO.
is most cordially recommended for the carrying
out of these desires. The Company has been hi
existence for FORTY EIGHT y ear s.and now, with a '
Capital of rcr $6,000,000 00
stands as one of the solid monetary institutions of
the nation and offers positivelT the-best induce
ments for LIFE INSURANCE in the world.
Over live hundred risks have been taken in the
last twelve months upon the most influential citi-
zorts of North Carolina. Out of this number four
hate died, 'making 123,000 in cash paid
over promptly to survivors ; and but for this fore
thought and ACTA IVSi not one dollar would have
bcenteft of their estates for tho benefit of their
bereaved loved ones. ; After the 2nd year . ; -
SO per cent; Dividend la paid to Policy
bolder every , year during Life. -
and at doath the Policy is paid to survivors, i
Risks on ages from 14 to 65 years are taken for
a term of years or the WHOLE TERM OF LIFE
on amounts from (1,000 to (10,000, and the rates
are regulated according to age. THIS PROVI
SION CANNOT BE TAKEN FOB DEBT, BUT
GOES TO THE FAMILY OR OTHER DEPEND
ENTS FOR THEIR SPECIAL USE AND SUP
PORT. Nothing can possibly be gained by delay
in this duty and much may be lost. Of two cour
sos, one of which may leave your family or depend
ent friends destitute, and the other ASSURES
thorn a comfortable support at your decease; can
there be a doubt which is to be chosen ? Every
one knows that if the pressure of the times bears
bard upon a man in the fulness of his strength, it
will be far more severe upon a woman and child
ren left at such a conjuncture as this without re
sources or protector, and it is easier for a man to
pay his premium than for his family to live with
out his aad and without means. -

dence in the mountains of Virginia, still contin
ued to suffer from them up to the following - De
cember, and from the first warm weather in the
beginning of spring was subject to attacks of tbem
at intervals of from two to three wonks. The phy
sician in Lexington gave me quinine and calomel.
the only effect of Which was to stop the chills for
a time. The calomel, although I took a large
quantity or - it, aid not act. When 1 arrived in
Richmond, in the early part or July, I was again
affected with them. It was recommended to me
to take your Nolandino. In ten days after the first
dose I felt like a new man. All the spring I had
been weak, debilitatod and subject to a swimming
in the head: but now. though feeble from the ef
fects of the fever, I feel in perfect health, and can
perceivo a daily improvement in my condition.
And now thanks to your medicine, which X hope
will prove a blessing to both you and your fellow
creatures, I am entuely recovered, and chills and
fevers seem at last to have bidden me a final adieu.
I have no hesitation whatever in recommending
it to others similarly affected. Yours, sirs, very
