THE ROMANCE(OF A POOR
YOUNG UN,�iii��Ai� .
TRANSLATE FROM THE` FRENCH OF OC-
TAVE FYDILLET,
(Con fnued from last week.)
The hot were accordingly, fastened
in a little ii4closure pear the ruin, and
we separated for a ; moment to search
around the castle. Bat we bad the
vexation to meet neither shepherd nor
shepherdess. Our desire to see the in-
terior naturrally incteased with all the
force of alttractiot4i which forbidden
fruit has for as," anwe crossed a bridge
thrown over the m at, at a venture. .To
our great satisfacti n, the massive door
of the donjon was not shut; we needed
only to push it aped in order to enter a
corner, dark and encumbered with rub-
bish, which was probably the place for
the body -guard in dormer times ; from
thence we passed into a vast circular
hall, the chimney -piece , of which, still
showed, on its coat bf arms, the bents
of tcrtlsade; a large open win ow,
tri sed by the symbolic cross, plainly
cut ii° the stone, lighted distinctly the
lower part of -this room, while i the eye
failed to pierce the uncertain shadows of
the I fty broken roofs At the sound of
our steps an invisible flock of birds tew
out from the darkness, shaking down
upon,ue the dust ofnturies.
On 'mounting up the granite steps,
ranged one above they other round the
hall, into the embrasure of the window,
we could overlook the deep moat and
the rained parts of the fortress ; but we
had noticed on our entrance a flight of
steps cut in the thich wall, and we felt a
childish impatience to push our discov-
eries [further. We, therefore, under-
took tascend this rude staircase ; I led
the way, and Mlle. Marguerite followed
braver, holding up her long skirts as
well as she could. From the top of the
flat roof the view was vast and delicious.
The soft tints of twilight were creeping
over the ocean of half -golden autumn
foliage; the dark marshes, and the green
mossy ground near us, and the distant
ranges of hill' mingling with and cross-
ing each other. As we gazed down
upon this melancholy landscape, infinite
in exte t, we felt the peace of solitude,
the sileace of; evening, the sadness of the
pest, descend into our hearts.
This eharm was increased:, for me at
least, by the presence of a beloved be-
ing; sl whohave loved will compre-
hend t is. his hour even of mutual
oontem latioi and emotion, of pure and
ejoymeut, was, without
he last that would be given me
er and with her, and I

I do n t kn w. how long we remained
thus. When he mists spread over the
low mea owe nd the far-off hills .be-
came in istinc in the increasing dark-
ness, M rguer to rose. " Let us go,"
said she, in a low voice, as if the cur-
tain had fallenon some regretted page-
ant ; " i is fi�lished !" Then she be-
gan to d scendthe staircase and I fol-
lowed he .
When are at emptied to. leave the cas-
tle, to ou,r gre surprise, we found the
door olclsed. Apparently the young
keeper, ignore t of our presence, had
turned the key while we were on the
roof. Otr firs impression was that of
gayety. It wa actually an enchanted
castle ! I m de vigorous efforts to
break the enoh ntment ; but the enor-
mous bolt of the old lock was solidly
fastened in the ranite, and I was com-
pelled to give u the attempt to unfas-
ten it. I then ttacked the door itself ;
the messl,ee hin es and the oak panels,
banded With ron, resisted all my
strength. 1 Two or three pieces of rough
stone that I fou d amongst the rubbish
and. that 1 thre against this insuper-
able obstacle to our egress, had no other
result thah to s ake the roof, fragments
of which fell at my feet. Mlle. Mar-
guerite wgruld not allow me to pursue an
enterprise so evidently hepelees, and
which was not without dankest. I then
" It is . on," she cried with vehemt

so much contempt for yon that I should

as cold as atone, I would draw tears of
blgod from it."

cetera ss I could assume, "I beg you to

with h r riding -whip. " I will tell you

Night had now fallen over the coun-
try, and darknea invaded the old castle.
Some rays of moonlight penetrated the
window,and fell upon the atone steps
it'. beneathMlle. Marguerite, who had
graduallylost all appearance of spright-
liness, ceased to reply to the conjec-
tures, reasonabl or other wise, with
which I endeavo ed to dispel her anx-
iety. She sat i the shadow of the
window, silent and immovable, but I
was in the full light of the moon on the
step nearest the window, at intervals
sending forth a cry of distress ; but in
truth the more u certain the success of
my efforts becam ,j the more an irresist-
ible feeling of j ytfulness seized upon
me. I saw audd my realized the end-
less and almost i possible dream of lov-
ers ; I was alone n a desert with the
woman whom I 1 ved ! For long houra
there was only sb and I in the world,
only her life and mine ! I thought of
all the marks of sweet protection, of
tender respect, that I should have the
right and the duty to lavish upon her ;
I pictured her fears calmed, her confi-
denoe, her sleep ; I said to myself, that
this foruriate nig t, if it did not give me
the love of this d ar girt, would at least
assure tome her ost lasting esteem.
As I abandoned myself with all the
egotism cif pantie to my secret ecstasy,
some reflection of which was perhaps
painted on my f ce, I was suddenly
roused by these w rde, addressed to me
in a tome of fleeted tranquility :
"Monsi Mousier le Marquis de Champcey,
have there .been any cowardsin your
family before you ?"
I rose, but fell ack again upon my
stone seat, turnip a stupefied look in
the direction whe e I saw the vague
outline of the young girl. One idea
alone occurred to me, a terrible idea,
that fear and anxiety had affected her
brain—that she wits becoming crazy.
" Marguerite ! ' I I cried, without
Knowing even the I spoke. This word
completed her irri tion, doubtless,
" My j God ! ow odious he is I
What a coward .! Yes, I repeat it,

The truth began to dawn upon me. I

"Howsprains !' said M. Deemer -

approached me. ' This ie,then, a night

I feigned uurprie. " What else has

"

road. Wel met. She told me she thought
of riding •as far as the tower of Elven."
"Tie wer of Elven ! She must be
lost in th woods. We ought to go
there pro ptly. ' Let orders be given."
M. de %Whin at once ordered horses
to be bro ght met.! I affected a wish to,
join thaw/Cade, valca;de, but Madame Larogfe
and the doctor; positively prohibited it,
and I allowed myself to be easily per-
suaded to seek my bed, of which, In
truth, I felt great need.
Dr. Desmerests,after having applied a
first dressing to my injured arm, took a
seat to the carriage with Madame La -
roque, who went to the village of Elva
to wait there the result of the diligent
search that M, de Bevallan would direct
in the neighborhood of the tower.
It was nearly ten o'clock when Alain
came to announce to me that Mlle. Mar-
guerite was found. He recounted t e
history of her imprisonment, witho t
omitting any details, save, be it and r -
stood, those which tbe yo ing girl an I
would alone know. The account of t e
adventure was soon coufirmed by tie
doctor, then by Madame Laroque htr-
eelf, and I had the satisfaction to lipaO
that no suspicion of the exact truth -
tered the mind of any one.
I have passed the night in repeatin
with the most fatiguing perseveranc
and with the oddest complicationsf
fever and dreams, my dangerous leap
from the old tower window. I cannot
become accustomed to it. At each in-
stant the sensation of falling through

It really seems as if some matigrp
power took the trouble to devise the
most singular and the cruelest tempta1
tions and to offer them by turns to my
conscience and my heart ! M. Laubepiil
-not having arrived this morning, Madt
ame Laroque asked me for sonieinforma
tion which she needed in order to deter
mine upon the preamble of the contract
which, as I have said, is to be signe
to-morrow. As I am condemned to
seep my room for several days longer,,
I begged Madame Laroque to send me
the titles and private papers, which
were in the possession of her father -in-'
law, and which were indispensable to
me in order to solve the difficulties that
had been pointed out.
They soon brought me two or three
drawers filled with them, that had been
secretly taken out of M. Laroque'e cab-
s et, while the old man wee asleep, for
he had always shown himself very jeal-
o us of his private papers. In the first which
I took up the repitition of my own family
n eme caught my eye, ana appealed to
niy curiosity with irreeietible force. This
is tbe literal teat of the paper :

" TO MY CHILDREN.
•" The name that I bequeath to yon
and that I have honored, re not my own.
My father's name was Savage. He was
manager of a plantation of considerable
size in the island, at that time belonging
to France, of Saint Lucie, owned by a
wealthy and noble family of Dauphiny,
that of Champceye d'Hauterivee. My
father died in 1783, and I inherited, a! -
though still quite young, the confidence
they placed in him, Toward the close
of that sad year, the French Antilles
were taken by the English, or were de-
livered up to them by the insurgent,
colonists. The Marquis de Champcey
d&Hauterive (Jacques Auguste,) whom
the orders of the convention had not
then attained, commanded at that -time
the frigate Thetis, which had cruised in
these waters for three years.
"A large number of French colonists
scattered through the Antilles had ac-
quired large fortunes, with the loss of
which they were now daily threatened.
They contrived, with the :aid of Com-
mandant Champcey, to organize a flotilla
of light transports, to which they trans-
ferred all their movable property,hoping
return to their native land, protected
the guns of the Thetis. I had long
to
by
before received orders to sell the plan-
tation which I heel managed since my
feither's death, many price, in view of
the impending troubles. On the night
of the 14th of November, 1793, I secret-
ly quitted Saint -Lucie, already occupied
by the enemy, alone in -a boat from Cape
Moine-au-Sable. I carried with me the
sum for which I had sold the plantation,
in English bank notes and guineas. M.
de Champcey, thanks to the minute
knowledge he had gained of these coasts,
had, been able to elude the English
cruisers, and had taken refuge in the,
difficult and obscure channel of the
Gros-Ilet. He had ordered me to join
him there this very night, and only
waited my coming on board before issu-
ng from the channel with . the flotilla
ander his escort, and heading for France.
n • the way thither, I bad the misfor-
nne tofallinto the hands of the Eng-
ish. My captors, masters in treachery
s they are, gave me the choice to be
shot immediately, or to sell them, by
means of the million which I bad in any
possession, and which they would aban-
don to me, the secret of the channel
�vhere the flotilla lay. I was young,
the temptation was too strong ; a half
hour later the Thetis was sunk, the
flotilla taken, and M. de Champcey
grievously wounded. • A year passed, a
sleepless year. I became mad, and I
resolved to revenge myself on the ac-
cnrsed English for the torments which
r eked me. I went to Guadeloupe, I
c fanged my name, and devoting the
greater part of the price of my treason
to the purchase of an armed brig, I fell
upon the English. For fifteen years I
washed in their blood and my own the
stain I had made, in an hour of weak -
nese, on my country's flag. Although
more than three-fourths of my real . for -
tittle has been acquired in glorious bat-
tles, he origin is none the less as I have
stated.
"On my return to France, in my old
age, I inquired into the situation of the
Cbampceys d'Hanterivee ; they were
happy and rich. I continued, therefore,
to hold my peace. May my children
forgive me !' I could not gain courage
