THE FATE OF DIKE ALBERTO.
Some two centuries jjgo there lived in
Milan, in Italy, a certain Puke Alberto.
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

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.

i
and circumstances are propiiious for an

The pliant Tomaselli assented, and they
entered the cathedral. The church was
jdreped ia Llack, the priests were livid

candles, and the cran filled every aisl
and nave wi'h its inelciio

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 !

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

whom he had abducted and imprisoned.
He had long uatchedhtr, knowing on

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

She had new ample time for reflection
as to the best mode of escape. The bolts
and bars she could not overcome, and she

if necessary Trith her dagger, m erder
to secure her escape. 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.

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.
Richmond, by the last census, had a
population of 33,000 souls, but the great
er influx cf civil and military ofScers
and refugees from ciher parts of the
State has probably raised it to a much
higher figure. It is situated at the head
cf tide-water, at the lower falls cf James
river, about one hundred and fifty miles
from jts mouth. The city occupies a most
nicturescue situation, oeinz &um on
Richmond and Shockoe hills, which are
separated by Shocko-j Creek, and sur
rounded by beautiful scenery. It is
regularly laid cut and well built; the
streets, whiehjare lighted with gas, crcss-
D? each other at right angles.
j On Shockoe Hill are the State Capitol
and other public building. The Capitol
