He entered the room with 4 cold stately Air," looting so tall and proud she thought he never looked so handsome!

Oh, Lucille, thy pun ishment was only edmmencingf. Just then, Deoison approoched her. She fair ly hated the light of him at that moment, bdt her heart was so full of bitterness, that She turned to him with a forced smile, and listened with Apparent pleasure to his vapid small talk, an- swenng now and loeo at ranaom, tor soe Knew no more what he wis laying than if she bad been deaf. At a side glance, she saw Clarence still devoted to Lucretia, whose 'codntenance heemed no longer in plain, it was so lighted up with animation, as she listened to his conversation. . . Lucille, to Denison's surprise And chogrio, turned Abrdp'tly from him and left the room. tt was a moonlight night, tod clear and balmy and the young girl silently and mourn fdlly turned her steps to the luxuriant garden, blooming like a fairy bower beneath the ilfery rsjl of the fall-moon, Along tie grAveied walls sne wan dered, bdt in painful thought, nor heard a foot step until some one spoke.

Had he but known the ago-ny that Was in her heart the deep remorse she experienced for her folly,' be would have sought her side once mora with a deeper devotion than ever. But Lucille was as tfouil as himself she would bide ber true feelings if she died. Ob, this lore to what does it not impel the human heart? of earthly passions the eJTeetest, mwt powerful, nsost paioful of all. i ; Well, weeks passed onward, and LuriU saw very little of Clarence. He avoided every pi ace where he thought he might chance to meet her -and no small fiorcto f bi tiaae was, spent it h li'MeHA. Deoison had sful5led his threat of revenge. and whispered the slackest falshoods concerning Lucille into the ears of Clarence, who was, we confess, more ready to believe them .than he ought M&e been. He was not without blame n tne course he took we don't meaa to shield him: Be. thai as it may.

THE IlEVOLTJTIOir IS HAYT. 1 ""''- The terol'otion in Tlayti which has revolted in the overthrow of the negro Empire, the trlnmph of the mulatto Republic, and the tall and. flight of the Emperor Faostia. I has directed public attention to that unfortunate Island; and its his tory, and social and political conditions, have be come a snbject of comment. The area of the Island of Hayti, (highUed country, a naoje giv en to it by the nAtifaefc) or 8t. Domingo, M it was called By the SpA'nTArdi, Is quite considerable, being ii.OOO square milel, or 1,000 square miles larger than the State of South CAroIihav It was discovered by Columbus in 1491, and immedf. ately after d ecopBd by Spanish advenUjrerf', attracted thither by its rich gold deposits, 'I About the middle of the )?th century, some French and English buccaneers took forcible possession of the western portion of the island now called Hayti, which portion wis thereupon ceded by Spain to the King of France, who acknowled the buccaneers as his subjects, The French colony, however, had made bat Utile 6r no progress, when Lop '3 XVth removed, in tiit certain "oli re strictions imposed upon its trade, it then advanced rapidly in wealth, and Was in A very prosperous condition when the French revolution of i?89 broke out. - The French or western part of the island had at thai time a population of52-4,-900. (31,000 whites, 700 . free colored and i85,66A Haves.) The Spanish or eastern ortioa was mnch less densely populated, having only 152,640 inhabitants; - of, whoni 122.540 were whites and free colored, the rest ilAVes. The French revolution resulted for Hayti in the negro emeufe of 1791, which terminated with the capture of the' forts of .(jape Francois, and the great massacre of the whites in June, 1703. In the following year, was the freedom of the negroes and their dolitical equality with 'the White race, recognized and sanctioned by Ihe laliohai Convention to Paris. The contest which had,"therefore-, beeb between the 'whites and negroes, became now one between the latter and the niulat-oes. The negroes kept possession, of the west j.en partof the . Idlandv of ltayiirth wulattoes and the remainder of the whites of French and Spanish descent, occupied its eastern part, Dominica or Domingo. In 1811; the Haytian oe? groes erected a monarchy, while the whites and mulattoes preserved republican, institution. The bitter hatred existing between the antagonistic races led to constant feuds, wars axid bloodshed. The Domiogo-Mulatto-Republle gained finally the supfemkey. The -royal rule in QayU was overthrown, and a union- of both sections effect edin 1P22, tinder a RepohUcan government, with General gQjeg'AUiu head aa president. The ltepublic was recognized by the United tates and several European States, and in' 1825 by France al9, under .the condition, however of the payment of a sum of 150,000,080 francs as io demnificatioo to the French planters or their heirs, who had been deprived of their property lit consedaence of the revolution of 1 793. Little progress, if any,. was tnaie in the payadent of this debt, which, t was represented by the Hay-tieo Governnient, was too heavy a burden for the people of the young republic to bear. Whereupon France consented, in 1833, to a reduction of the sum, still due, to 6d. 000,060 frdncs, which claim France stUl hdlds against the Island. The Administration of Boyer. who had been ejected President for life, was, however, a very unsuccessful o.ne. It culminated is 1843 in a mardepas war of races, in which the most barbarous excesses were committed on both fides, and Boyer fled to Jamaica. So things went froxii bad to worse, until General Faustiia Soeloque Obtained, in 184?, the reins of governnient in Hayti. , Faustin, a nian df fcgu kims and towering ambition, conceived 4he idea of establishing an Imperial throne upon the ruins of the Republic, f n 1843 he made his coup d'etat, njassacre ing his millatto subjects, in the ensuing year he gained his battles of Marengo and Auaterlitl, against the vulgar RepubJitdns of Dominica, and on the metriorable 26ih of Angust, 1849, thejeon queror celebrated bis coroitAtldd as Faustin 1, Emperor of Hayti. From the moment the . negroes had obtained ne'r freedom, dates the decline of-the Island 1a wealth, commerce, and ereo Ja pcpnlatien. The litter Amounted, its we have seen, to about 6.00.- 000 in 1783. Is is estimated now, after.tbe.lapse of 70 years, at less than 600.000, wlicfc is the clearest evidence of rottenness and decay, be production of the Island, the soil of which S exi ceedihgly fertile, and which contains also the rich est gold,. duver and ofiber mineral deposits, tad year upon year diminished, and -when -ttf thid had come the tyranny and avarice of Soulonqne, who taied and plunCered.tte people -So" every possible way, and whode fraddulehi sffectsUtidnt troagbt on a sort of financial; crisis, about 'A yeaf ago. the revolution broke eat which resulted in bis defeat atd etpul-ion, and there establishment of negro rep'abllc.
