to the bosom of New York Bny, just then rip

Oliver (Jrey was an artist by profession: a

dark, restless eves, a broad forehead, and swar

to take his ease and sketch the beautiful scenery
of the bay. He had accepted this hospitality
even while he felt humiliated by it not Miimich
to escape his garret as to bask in the dangerous
joy of Camilla's presence. This morning he
came out to sketch, but he only dreamed of her,

What was that ?
Something glowed and glimmered like a coal
st the bottom of the cheat!
Again the poor artist's pulse dronunad in his
cars, while every atom of blood in his body
seemed rushing to and fro in the wildest confu
sion. After a little hesitation he reached down with
Ids broad-bladed pallette-knife, and gingerly
and daintily, with thrills of reluctance running
through his eagerness, fished ap the burning
coal, and blew from it the tabes, the ashes of
the dead.
The coal was a large ruby. It was without
setting, but had been cut and polished by a jew
eler. It was at red as fire, and ss lucid as sun
shine. Oliver rubbed it with his handkerchief,
opcrted his almost empty purse, and dropped the
jewel within for safe keeping. Then ho exam
ined the chest farther. The wen more gems
glimmering and quivering like live things amid
that human dust.
it was not long until the young man tbrgot to
be too particular. The pallette-knifc was no
longer swift and certain enough. With his
trembling lingers he pushed about the poor bones,
finding plenty of treasure now ; and there, right
under where ita heart rauat have been, a small
gold locket. With something of awo and rev
erence overcoming the greed which had taken
possession of him, he opened the case.
A' woman's likeliest, young and sweet, smiled
out n I ion him, aa brightly aa if it had not lain in
that dark prison-house for fifty veare. Tears
came fnto Oliver's sharp eves aa he met the
laiiL'hiiiL' irh'hce of the soft blae eves shining be
neath the ripples of yellow hair. But those
lean soon diiod iu the exultation of his new
possessions.
When certain that the chest had yielded the
last of its jewels he emptied them into his hand
kerchief, and tried to compute their value. The
horror of his first impressions gave way to tri
umph. The treasure wsa his own by right of discov

his si venture.
Thinking thus he again looked at the minia
ture ; and this time observed a name, formed by
a setting of brilliants around the inside of the
case, in Oerman text Kthei.da.
An old fashioned English name. Oliver did
not reflect that the poor cousin of Camilla, de
pendent on her uncle Catherwood, bore the
name, unusual aa it wass

the iron door placed before it at night, and to

heard a light foot run down the steps and away
from the house. On first looking out he saw
nothing ; a great rush -of wind snd rain swept
past him, snd he made a movement to close the
door before he perceived a little creature in the

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING
TO 8INO.
BT A. H. BLUB.
If singing is so important part of pub
lie worship, it is awid eutly necessary that
it be sustained ss well as any other part
of church service. Whatever, then, will
promote good singing should be liberajjj
sustained by members of the church.
People mar talk as they wilL but there
is nothing thai will do as much toward
this as good singing schools, for wben
singing schools are neglected, the music
of the church most suffer. Is It not, then.
the duty of churches to eucourage
schools and good teachers, and ought not
all connected with the church take a deep
interest in the amoral musical Improve
ment, not enly far the advantage of their
own congregation, bat also for the public
good.
Ia Germany so taieher hi considered
aa qualified u teach even a common
school, was) has not some knowledga of
music. Oa the continent of Europe they
are visa ia this respect, and their music

ing. It is found far more effective than
tasks, the rod, or angry reproof, for soft

In respect to moral training and disci

best thing to soften the mind. Nothing
so quickly relaxes the mind and frees it
from bad feelings and discouragements
which the daily studies may engender.

W'ituess, C. C. Wade, Clerk of our said
Court at office in Troy this 15th day of Sep-
nd himself freoiieiitlv came.
In the face of the rocky bluff there was an
...ean-cve. A very small cave, which the fiah
ermen and other common people ignominiously
dubbed a holet It may have been larger once ;
hut at this time it was filled, nearly to the mouth,
with deep sea sand. In high water it was cov
ered entirely by the waves. But at low tide a
small boat could push its way in ; and as it af
forded a cool shelter from the summer snn, the
two friends often cast anchor there for nn hour
or so, while they ate their luncheon, or sketched
the opswite hills.
i he tide then, at ita extreme ebb, left the for
tlasr end of the sand-cavern quite hare and dry.
It was the first time that the visitor had ever
found it so. He was thinking of running his
boat agi'outul, and petting out, although there
-et nieu io oe Homing more inicreming man
Nelaui-sheils strewn about, when, suddenly, some
thing sparkled in the level sunrsys. ills eyes
were drawn to the glinunuring point. What was
It? He looked again more earnestly. It was
the end of a brass-bound wooden chest, protrml
inj from the sand. The glittering of a brass
nail had drawn his attention to the object.
The color rushed into Oliver Greys moody
fate, lie thought ot Captain Kid, of shipwreck
ed merchsntmen, and the Arabian Nights, allia
one flash of his vivid imagination.
Then he laughed at himself, pushing hit nut
shell of a akiff close to this buried chest, and
leaping lightly out.
At least J win see what it is. The dirty gar-

ments of some poor sailor's kit. I suppose.
With hia oar he went to work to dig a way the
sand. It waa hard work, and the perspiration
soon stood on hia forehead ; but he had brought
to light enough of the quaint, foreign-looking
box-to show that it waa no common sailor's
chest. -
It was of strips of some costly oriental woods,
in dark and light, very solid and heavy, banded
together, so as to be almost covered with ita
brass-fasten ings. In half an hour he had un
covered the whole lid. The box proved to be
about four feet long, by two wide, and two deep.
At first he despaired of opening the cheat
without further implements; for the hard wood
was well preserved, ami (lie clasps scarcely rust
ed. It bad evidently been buried in dry sand
not exposed to the action of water, or even
moisture, to any great extent. ith the blade
of a stout knife, which the artist carried with
him for use of various kinds on his little expe
ditons, he succeeded, after a few minutes, in
pushing bock the simple, old-fashioned lock,
which sprang out ot its place with a Click.
Then, for a moment, Oliver hesitated.
As soon as he could command himself he cau
tiously but eagerly raised the lid.
What did he fiud 1
A corpse which looked aa if it might have
been placed there yesterday, so perfect wsa its
preservation -jammed down into this impromptu
coffin, so much too short for it. It waa that of
a noble and handsome man, not many rears ol
der than himself, whose jet-black hair fill down
in long ringlets about the velvet collar and ruf
fled shirt-front. The dress was that of 1800, or
before, when rich gentlemen yet indulged in
velvet and thread-lace. In the forehead was a
deep wound, aa of a hatchet, and there were
blood-stain over the garment. . Who could the
murdered stranger be ?
Ahl while he asked himself the question
while he gated, with lips apart, and concentra
ted looks of interest and dread a change crept
over (the inmate of the chest. The grayish hue
deepened over the face ; the features sunk, fell ;
the yellow lace mtHc. the silkrn vesfTnenis la-
pected good fortune. A group of three awaited
him as lie ironing ont upon the Leach hia friend
George with his sister and cousin.
After an eager dance at Miss Catherwood
the artist darted a look of surprise at the young
girl in white, just behind her. It only then oc
curred to him that Miss Ashleigh's name was
Etkrtdat
He put swsy the singular feeling which arose
at this coincidence, and at hreaktast was toe Hie
of the party. All that day he wssgay, brilliant,
vivacious. Not even the appearance of Mr.
Lvtton. Camilla's most favorite suitor a fop of
the fiint water, rich, aristocratic, and egotistical
who drove out from the citv in the morning,
and idled S way the long, bright summer day at
the Poplars, coiifd disconcert him. He had des
pised the dandy, and now he felt that he might
yet hope tb rifal him.
Camilla, as proud ss she was coquettish, knew
very well that her brother's artist-Mend wor

A gentleman in Boston had hit atten

The gentleman hesitated, bat she repeat

house, and there, sure enough, her bus
band was lying in the coffin ready for bu
rial. The gentleman, pitying her. dis

enough money to bury her husband, bade
her good morning and departed. He had
gone but a few steps when he missed his
