He wa called indiSVrently " King of C..igo, or " King of the ake, and bore on his head, as a crown, a great pyramid of painted paper boxes fastened together, whkh bad the effect of nearly doubling his natural beight.

Kveu many of the spectators cought the contagious fury and joined in the sarag? glee ; but there was one beholder that gazed on tbo scene with a grim look of horror, as if the happiness, of others were a. epjeciouA cf impliej insult to him,. " I must have been distracted to think of finding hfr in such a place- as this. I am distracted to harbor a horu of finding her at all V murmured Peter KIlis to himself, as he threaded his way. painfully, through the press, whisneriu' lunlisons against Co Uongo Green. At length the misanthrope gamed the iron gate toward the north, and was in the act of going out, when a vision of the most ex traordinary and dazling beauty arrested his attention and chained his very feet to the sod. This was a vounz sirl habited in, white, with a crimson xono aoufj her bpspin, se cured by a massive. cJa.p. of gold that kiy op posite lv?r heart like a star. Her head was bare, or only covered with its own veii of ringlets, softer than silk and black as mid night. Her complexion was dark, it is true, but it was the beautiful golden tint left there by the wind, ayl the sunbeam this kissing klr trith fire, and that cooling the fire-kiss with sighs. Peter Ellis was so unaccountably fascinal ed by the firxt sight, that he did not remark fur more than a minute the companion in at tendance on, his angel, elf; or fairy, as his intoxicated fancy had spontaneousfy named her the instant her image flashed like light ning into his soul. At last, however, he was forced to perceive that she had a companion, and, sif b, a companion as. fied.hioj, not with jealousy, bnt wrth fear ! This was an old man, hideously hunch backed, with snow-white hair, piercing grey eyes, and a dirty'shri veiled face, that wore the double expression of theft and murder. He was muttering angry words in a low voice, while the girl's dark eyes were swim- ming in. tcaa. ' Oh ! snare me that shame!" Ellis heard her entreat ; " for,.lw?aven's s&ke spare uic ! I connot go theic." " D i as I bid you, this moment," replied the old hunchback, in a whisper at once sharp and hollow, as if emitted from the burning throat oC a de.vil. " Go, or. to night" the sentence was completed! by a gesture that made the very morrow creep in thp spectator's btncs. "I will go, f answered the girl, sjipddcr- and she open- toward the ecu oiu monscer tot lnwjii and e eyeing her at a distance with bis fiendish smile, wbilo Peter rihs, in. Fpite. of bis pride, vanity, and the warning voice of. reason, felt himself borne by an irresisti ble impulse in the same direction. IVeseqtly thp facinatcd man heardN above all the tempest of tumult, tlie voice of a. singer; but whether it was human or an gelic be could not decide even in thought. It was loud, sweet, ringing, and ytt mild and wondrously Taried, sweeping more octaves than that of the nightingale, sounding clear er and soaring higher than the sky-larhs's while its music was rich and beautiful as a dream ! The effect on the mad dancers was like. magic. Horn, drum, bugle, violin, were in stantly silent. The vast throng swayed to anjd fro, as a sea tossed by tbe storm, and then gathered in a, great circle around tht voice, while one shout shook the Green like thunder "La cantatricc! the singer! the beautiful 1"- "It seems that she is well known among, the Africans of New Orleans," said Peter Ellis wjth a shudder, but still be could not forbear pressing; forwards till - he gained a int in the circle of the black faces whence e could again see the dazzling apparition. She sung, with the accompaniment of most appropriate gestures, a merry hocha nal song, and the. listeners cheered with, shouts of laughter. At a signal from the old huDchbacksho took a martial lyric and every b soin heaved like a volcano, and every eye gl.!amY':l with (Ee red light of bat tle. Then she trilled a.'tucrarcful dirge a wail of love and death'; and a thousand ebon checks were wet with tears as with summer raijC, while sobs and even shrieks resoundd a) at a funeral ! In truth she could not have elected a xjre impressible audienee; for the southern njgrocs luve an insatiable pas sion for. in Tile, and sing themselves almost continually. At length shn paasid, an 1, taming very pile, glauood b.Heechiugly at the old hunch back, wJi frowal and waved a fierce im perious gesture.

When she came qear Ellis, she glanced up in his face with her wild black eyes, wondering no doubt at the presence of oe sp. elegantly attired as he in such company. She started with sur prise as he dropped a peice in her paint; . was a gold eagle. ., "Montfeur. has made a mistake," she said Us her wit, silrery tones, hcJdiag up the gUtterinkcoin j&x bi.a fcice ;-"No, keep it," he answered, in a choking voice, aill she felt another drop iuTjer open palm., he binned fed as scarlet, for the lag drop was alearof fire. y . The girl r turned, to. her station in the human ring, OfyX again glanced an imploring look at the hunchback.- He scowled as be fore, and waved another angry gesture. She then took from the folds of he? dress two stqall gilt tastiueiSi poised them an instant above lier lead, then whirled them around her with a (notion gracefully rapid a3 the flight of wiig, starting away in a danoe so airy, buoyait, and incredibly swift, that she actually seemed to float like a sylp pure sunshine. I Bit at tint moment an event occurred to inturrupt tip general enjoyment. A dull, b jouiinn noae was heard the rush of a ? torrent ofwiter; and a loud scream of ter ror arose 'The crcrtsse ! The crevasse ! The levee of the liosiq1 is broken ! e shall be all drowned !" The Knj of Congo tore off his crown, and king, aid subjects alike attempted a grand charge towards the gates. The flood came roaringafter tUem, and inth1r;ee.03i four mauies. oycqspreal 1,2 green tu, forttT. uately, as yct to no considerable depth. There wore two persons ouly in the crowd who did not fly Peter Ellis and the poor singer. Tbo former approached thp girl with a feeliufl'of strange' iuteiesk. " Whjk- do3u not nJ niy pretty one?" he a-ked-. "Arc you not afraid you will be drowned?" "OJ G;!1 J, wjsh, were!" shp rejoined, with a look of such boneless, sorrow. thp i thrilled through his inmost heart m a pang keen a the wcund of a daggar.

"None in this world!" t And again the dark -eyed girl glanced through her tears to wards heaven. "Do you remember your parents?" "I remember my mother. I, have at least a faint image of her. She had-black eyes, such as mine, and a smile like an an gel, it was so much sweeter than any starlight.."- "" y - Peter Ellis started as if to rush forwards and seize the girl, but immediately checking himself, murmured, "No, it cannot be!" and proceeded with his interrogations. "De you recollect- your mother's name?" He put the question in a tone gasping with dreadful earnestness. 1 "Np, Monsieur, I knew her only as mo ther." "What is your own name?"' "They now call me Can tat rice, but my mother did not so call me " What did your mother call you?" -Mary." " ' 'J Peter Ellis started as if he had been shot in. the heart, but once more calmed himself, and-oootincd: "Have you any recollection of your fath-r er?" ; "No Monseiun but I ;have a memory of my homo ere they brought me to the ci iy."

The ei. rpr of the iJogic4. communists is, that in their scheme of society- they should destroy the basis from which society must spring. The first object of a, man's care should be himself, for he is responsible to God for the care he takes of himself, and next to him self, he is responsible for his family. This I results from his relation to it. According to his intelligence and liberality of mind he will regard himself and family as a, part of the community, andinterested in its welfare. This js,tljc. fpuqslationf patriotism, and there is nothing romantic in it. "The liberal i man. doeUi- liberal things, and by liberal things shall he stand," says the words of God. This liberality is the meaning of the word love, when used in a general applied to men Wrhat life is to the-body. I lpy.isuto morals. It is -the motive pc wer by which they act. As reason expands love expands, embracing a- larger field ot uunttiMty, but stilj. true to the centre.. Thus love is the principle of patriotism, seeking regard in our country's honor. ' Under its influence our fathers held life itself cheap, in comparison wjthth.e benefit to their coun try which, theyv secured1 by- tfaeirj-sacrifices.
