His palace was in the city, almost within the shadow of the far-famed cathedral, while his enormous possessions covered leagues of land in every . direction. In person he was remarkably handsome, a giant in strength ; in mind he was cun ning, shrewd, sufficiently well educated for his social position ; in morals he was unscrupulous, wicked and revengful. He had immured his wife in one of his coun try castles, in order to have her out cf the way of his daring and licentious pleasures. In fac , it was rumored thro' out the city that he had murdered her; but, owing lo his wealth and power, the authorities never instituted aa investiga tion. His days and nights were passed in revelling with lewd women and para site courtiers. His amcurs seemed to be the turning point of his existence, the whole end and aim of his ambition. Such, in brief, was the character of the duke. With his tenants he was care less and liberal, caring but little about the amount cf his income, provided it wis sufficient to enable him to support and gratify his three gi eat passions of wine, woman and play. His principle associate end companion was one Guido Toma?elli, a litertine and spend thrift of the first water. Wh?never the duke proposed an adventure, Tcmaselli was ever ready to assist and co-operate with him. If a lady was to be abducted, a nunnery broken into, or a castle sacked, ;he was ever willing to obey the behest"? of his master. In ae he was about j I ered thirty. He wss wealthy and ! powerful, and was even more dreadid than All r rto. The gray hairs that plen tifully sprinkled his hair and beard brought with them no wisdom his long experience brought with it no discretion ! He had been it.arried, but his wife had lnnrr bfrn dpad. nr,H fmrn t!if niomenl of ? . - - - - ... : . aer aeain ne atanaonec jiimscji to wv world, the flesh and the devil Such are the two principal personages - i . . i l j i. . . awa with whom v.-e have to oeal 1 ia narrctiv A more chaf Don Juans cannot be found i in the follow- charming pair cf j in all history. Returning, home late one night they had to rass the cathedral. It r.as lirjht- ed, and from its vast depths poured forth l'e musical volume of a requiem mass. t -it e rte musical volume of a 1 ' mv' soul, Guido. s h strange what said the duko, noble lord or lady has departed this life and now in vokes the end of the church in behalf of the repose of his or her soul ? Let us enter. We may, perchance, light upon 1 ONE AND INSEP.ARAIiLE, NOW AND FO UK VETS, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, ! some fair Testal offering up her vows for ' ihe defunct, arJ in such case the hour i and circumstances are propiiious for an ! . ill t other journey 42niy wauea cnateau at Aventino." The pliant Tomaselli assented, and they entered the cathedral. The church was jdreped ia Llack, the priests were livid teneaia iae cujw iilu ui ia sacrea candles, and the cran filled every aisl and nave wi'h its inelciio Hi: up nenr the altar -.vas a splendid catafal que, richly draped with heavy Hack. A f mourners kn!' b?side it, while here I 'and th-2r-ithr;vhfiut thi vast building land dimly vi.-.lk in the j-emi-darkners, i - I were a few of the devout and faithful. The duke und Guide, awestruck at the ! scene, preyed fcrunrd towards the altar, when the former, in a whisper, inquired of a verier in atteiviance as tothena.r.c j cf the deceased in whose behalf thee i solemn rit$ were administered. In a ghostly voice, and with a pallid face and demoniac expression, he was answered : ."'Tis for the'foul of the wicked Dale Alberto, of Milan." , With an expression of horror the duke srazed upon the catafalque, and there, re posing upon it. with all the gilded trap pinjs of princely rank, he beheld him self. VVith a cry cf dkraay he sank senseless upon the paveraeut. Guido raised him and guided ;hirn to the" outer air both conscious stricken at the terri Lie ceremonials in which they -had been participants! When thy renamed their senses they found themselves seated upon the stohe steps of the entrance, and the 2 ray . dawn Leginnrno; to develope'itself in the far East. ; Both agreed in the same story, altho' the cathedral -was closed, its Iiohls had had iled,"'and its crgaji wnsilt'rit. How (and -when -the spectral procession had passed out "without their nptice seemed past their comprehension.. Mcddily and gloomily they eriiered' the tfucal palace. Alberto looked narrowly at his com panion, who was dejectsd, and stupified. "Wiiie, my dear .fellCw, will dispel these illusions of the brain,' exclaimed !he. as "he, filled r py,r .sli-TJir. totht1 brim with the ruddy iirjir-.- Thry qiuiTed and quaffed until the morning sun enter ed the apartment with its golden efful gence. "And now to bed for a few hours, and to-night, my good Gaido, with your assistance, I shall clasp ia these arms the beautiful Donna Isabella, the fairest and loveliest flower in all Italy. She will return from vespers shortly after dark, and generally unattended. You shall disguise ycur&elf as a coachman, and drive me to the corner opposite the great square, around which she must necessar pass in order to reach her residence." Guido Tomaselli shuiJered. "Don't say that you decline to partici pate in the enterprise," said the duke. "It is full sf love and danger, two condi ments that give a spice to every adven ture of the heart. Besides, remember that I acted as your coachman in your last little riTair. besi2 nc'ing as your second in your duel with th. lady's bro ther." 'It is true Alberto," said Guido, "but would to Gnu these advert' ures as you call them wr re abandoned. My nerves have not yet recovered from thm horrible dream of last night. However, more wine and th? n let us to bed." Darkness was just"beginning to cover the city with its sable pa'l on that quiet, holy Sabbath evening when a carriage hastily emerged from the ducal palace, and took the direction indicated.by Alber to. Scarcely half an hour had elapsed when a female figure dressed in black was seen slowly wending her way frGm the cathedral. The duke stepped quick ly xipon the pavement, seijed her as she passed, and the horses bounded on a full gallop in the direction of Aventino. The Donna Isa! alia was a captive, and Toma selli was the coachman. As soon as Guido reached the castle with the duke and lady, he immediately returned to the city, delivered the car riage to an attendant in waiting, and forthwith procct-ded in the direction cf the residence cf his only daughter, Lucia, a young and lovely girl cf scarcely seven teen summers. The existence of this child he had always kept a profound se cret for two reasons. One was that he feared the duke and his rapacious desires, and the other was his sense cf duty in preserving her from the contamination of the cuter .vorld, amng whose wicked ! ones he modestly acknowledged himself chief. Ia her society he passed many pure and happy hours, gazing with par- ental pride upon the golden innocence ! that Providence had entrusted to his ' keeping. Bold and bad as this man was, he nevertheless Lad a corner in-hia heart! unspotted bv crime, bat that corner was nlone reserved for his child. All others ! 4 i TUNE, 17, 1804. ' he grasped in his net as the fowler does his prey. As he passed beneath the shadow of the great cathedral, he fancied he heard again the solemn nates of ita mighty organ pealing forth a requiem mass. This time he seemed to see his own corpse lying in state upon a costly tier. Shuddering at the figures that his imagination had conjured up, he entered the dwelling cf his daughter. Bi:t no lithesome step was heard com ing to me et him, do merry voice uttering a silvery welcome as of yore. A dread mi rgivirg overcame him, and he sack upon the pavement u.t he bass of the stairs leading to his child's appartment. Again did the crgan waft its spectral music across the square. Phantcras, livid and deathly, jeeringly pofnteJ their skeleica fingers and glared from their cavernous eyes on the wretch as he lay prostrate. They thundered in L13 ears : 4 'Then are the man! Await thy doom, for vengeance is sure, saiththe Lord." In this condition he was found by eve of his daughter's servant's, who gave the alarm and procured the necessary as.ist- ance to remove him to his couch. Be - wildered and crazed, h? groaned in spirit, and it was seme tim before he could be made to understand that Lucia had not returned from vespers, and that already her attendants had scoured the city, in different directions, hoping to obtain some clue te her whereabouts, but all had re turned without success. 'It ie no use," he exclaimed, "I know where she is. ad miserable man that I am, I am her destroyer." . In his then condition he was obliged to keep his bed for the following day, for his mind was in a state of frenzy, border ing on absolute madness. Towards cren-j : 1. - - 1 l.: iff 1 1 I ing tie recovereu iiimseu somev.nai ana ordered a coach and horses to bear him to the castle of Aventino. Vi e will row return to the duke and the poor girl whom he had abducted and imprisoned. He had long uatchedhtr, knowing on ly that her name was said to be Isabella, hoping for some favorable opportunity of sizing her and bearing her to his fast- r-?s th! iuoun'.''. h? eve'.! defy an army in caso:;f siege or asault. Nor d:d he dream for a moment that she was the daughter of his friend Guido. Had he known tha.t fact it might have stayed his impious hand, but as it wa? the deed was done. After thrusting her into his carriage, he threatened her with instant death if she cried out or made the least resistance. Overcome by fright and terror she fainted away, and it was in this state cf insensibility that she at length reached Alberto's castle. When she recovered she found herself in a gorgeous apartment, with a young and handsome cavalier gazing at her with looks of passion and admiration. "O Gcd !" she exclaimed, "where am I ? Noble sir, release me, and heaven will smile upon you. I ask this boon on bended knees." "Heaven, it appears, has smiled upan me this very night, fair lady," said the duke, "in vouchsafing to my tender care and custody so young and beautiful a flower as yourself. Believe me that 1 love aye, have long loved you and that I shall devote the balance of my life in endeaorving to make you happy." Her great grief at length gave way to a flood of tears, when Alberto perceiving her c&nditionleft her, promising to return as soon as time had assuaged her sorrow. She found he rself in a man's apartment. From the window she cculd perceive that the castle was situated upon the top cf a lofty mountain, and only accessible by a bridle pathway. The winds swept thro' the dark forest with a melancholy sound, bearing to her ears the presage notes uf death for to die she was determined, rather than be duhsnored by a villian. She examined the rocm and found in one j of the closets attached thereto a stilletto. j This she concealed ia her besom, with a j letiiUo ui i-luii aaui a. ncnc j-u-c of an Italian nature enly can bestow. Late ia the afternoon Alberto again made her a visit, but finding h?r obstinate, he again left, premising to see her cn the following morning. He trusttu that time , and patience would work a charge in her j obduracy. She had new ample time for reflection as to the best mode of escape. The bolts and bars she could not overcome, and she was ignorant cf the intricacies of the castle.. Still she did net dispair. Hope! at length pointpd cut a gleam of light, j ne could disguise coreii ia one or.!.; were manv in the room ?np min-nt m! the sentries after nightfall without notice, Once Lavir.g reached the bridlepath she would be safe.

At length steps were heard approaching, the doer opened and the attendant entered. She had pre viously lowered the heavy damask cur tains by the windows, so that a quiet.gbora or semi-darkness pervaded the appart ment. 'My lord duke," said the servant, "1 did not expect to see you here. I have Irought the ereivng meal for the lady, according to your instructions," 4 'Tis well," caid the mock duke. j 3he is now reposing and. must net be disturbed. Rcn:a;n here until I r-iur Saying which Lucy boldly gaintd the hall. Proceeding through various gloomy corridors, she at length reached ens of the ramparts, where she paused a mo ment to survey the ground. The port cullis was lowered, and several persons attached to the duke were seen passing to and fro. Night was rapidly setting in and now was the .moment or never to carry her plan into execution. She reached the bridge wiihout interruption, and in passing it she hummed a lively air ! from one of the operas in fashion at that day. And now she is cn the bridlepath, and in half an hour more she will be in safety. She had nearly reached the bot tom of the hill, when a tall, armed figure sprang out of the buahesand plunged his dagger to her heart. She fell and died without a grcan. "Thus perish," said the figure, ,4thou wretch and miscreant. Little didst thou know that it was Guido's child thou didst abduct." -Saying this he pulled the body into the forest and proceeded on his way to the castle to enforce, if need be, a return of his daughter. As he was weihknown to all the duke's retainers, he ws.i gladly welcomed by them. To avert suspicion, he carefully asked where Alberto was.- Some said he had not long before descended the moun tain, while another averred that he had just passed" him in the grand hall leading to his apartment! Guido kasw well the direction to take, h-v irit e:?ppsd upon j rcmpa '--l cooil.; s revered brovv. At this instant, to his great horror and as tonishment, he perreived the duke ad vancing towards him. "Ha ! Guido, my pretty bird has flown ; and that, too, within an hour," said h. "Just think of it ; the jade donned one of my costumes and passed my guards with out detection. But I will have her yet, for I have out parties to scour the moun tain." "Scoundrel ! Sh is my daughter, and I am, unwittingly, . her murderer !" ex claimed Guido. "The issue is now be tween yoa and me, and one or both muat fall." So saying he made a furious cnslought upon the duke, who, perceiving that he had to deal with a madman, began to call for assistance, at the same time defend ing himself with his swerd. As thi3 rencontre took place at a remote part cf the castle, his cries were not heard. At length Guido closed with him and pressed him to the edge of the parapet, which overhung a depth cf nearly five hundred feet. The bottom and sides of this abyss were jagged recks, on which no one could fall and live. And now the death-struggle waxes furious. The parapet is reach ed; Guido, with the strength of a giant, presses Alberto over. 'Tis done ! With a dull, heavy sound both are plunged in to the awful darkness. THE CITY OF RICHMOND.
