CHAPTER I The sun had not yet risen, and a heavy mist hung over Mount cpavinn spreading on to- wards Naples, and enveloping the small towns on the coast. The sea wascalm. On the beach ofa small gulf under the Sorrentine rocks several fishermen were oh ip ae in haulit up the boats and nets which had been during the night, whilst others were preparing their tackle and trimming their sails for a fresh start. No one was idle; for even the old women had brought out their spindles, and the wives and children were engaged in work or pla: “ y k here, Rachel! there is our padre,” said an old woman to a little thing of ten years old, who played round her spindle. “ He is just stepping into the boat, Anto- nio is to take him over to Capri. Holy M: tia! how sleepy the venegable pastor looks Thus saying, she greeted a little benevolent looking priest, who was just seating himself in a boat, after having carefully lifted his long black robe and spread it on the bench. The men on the shore paused in their work to see the departure of their pastor, who nodded and greeted right and lift. “Why does he go to Capri, grandmamma?”’ asked the child. ‘‘ Have the people there no priest, that they have to borrow ours?”’ “ Silly child '’’ said the old woman; they have plenty of priests over there, and the most beautiful churches, and even a hermit, which we have not. But there isa noble lad: who lived here for some time, and was so ill that mere than once it was thought she could not recover, and the priest had to goto her with the Host. However, the Holy Virgin succored her; she is now strong and well again; and bathes in theseaevery day. When she went forth from this place over to Capri, she gave a great heap of ducats to the church and tothe poor, and would not go till the Sp had promised to continue his visits to er there, that she might confess to him. She had wonderful confidence in him, and we may consider ourselves fortunate in keeping him asa pastor, for he has the talent of an arch- bishop, and many of the highest in the land inquire afterhim. The Madonna be with him.” Whereupon she again nodded towards the little boat, which was just pushing off from the shore. “Shall we have fine weather, my son ?’’ in- quired the little priest, looking doubtfully to- wards Naples. ‘* The sun has not yet risen,’’ replied the young owner of the boat; “it will soon clear away the mist ” Antonino seized the long oar to push the boat into deep water, but suddenly stopped and looked up the steep path which led from the beach to the little town of Sorrento. The slight form of a girl was visible hastening down the steps, and waving a handkerchief. She carried a little bundle under her arm, and her dress was plain in the extreme; but the head thrown haughtily back,.and the noble cutof the features contrasted strangely with her apparent poverty. The black braids of her hair were crossed above her forehead, like the diadem to which she seemed born. ‘* Why are we waiting ?’’ asked the priest. ‘There is a woman coming towards the boat who wants to go to Capri. if you do not ob- ject, padre. We shall not go any the slower, for she is a little thing, scarcely eighteen years of age ” At this moment the girl stepped from be- hind the wall which enclosed the winding ath. Pe Laurella!’’ said the priest; “what has she to do in Capri ?’” Antonino shrugged his shoulders. The girl advanced hastily with hor eyes on the ground. ** How do you do, La KRabbiata !”’ cried sey- eral of the young sailors They would have said more had not the presence of the priest restrained them; for the silent, scornful way in which the girl received their greeting seemed to irritute the rude fellows ** How do you do, Laurella “how are you to day? Capri?” ‘** With your permission, padre. ‘Ask Antonino; he is the owner of the boat. Every one is master of his own prop- erty, and God is Lord over us all.”’ “Here is a half carline,”’ said Laurella, without looking at the young boatman; ‘can I go for that? ’ ** You want it more than I do,’’ murmured the young man, as he pushed aside some bas- kets of oranges to make room. “IT shall not go for nothing,” replied the girl, knitting her black cyebrows. * Come, child,’ said the priest; ‘‘he isa good yeuth, and will not make himselr rich at the expense of your little store. There, get in, and sit down here by me. See, he has spread his jacket, that you may sit more com- fortably; he did not do as much for me; but that is the way with young people—more care is taken of one little girl like you than of ten reverend gentlemen. Well, well, you need not excuse yourself, ‘Tonino; this is always the way of the world !”’ Laurella had meanwhile stepped into the boat and seated herself; but she pushed the jacket on one side without a word of thanks The young sailor did not remove it, but mur- mured something between his teeth. He then pushed vigorously from the shore, and the little skiff flew out into the gulf. ‘““What have you got in that bundle?” asked the priest, while they sailed across the water, which was just now glistening in the first rays of the sun. “Silk, thread, and a bit of loaf, padre. I am to sell the silk to & woman in Anacapri, bets makes ribbon, and the thread to some one else.’ “Did you spin it yourself?’’ “ Yes, padre.’’ “If I remember right, you have also learnt to make ribbous?’’ ‘Yes, padre; but my mother is so much worse that I cannot leave the house, and we are not able to buy a loom for ourselves.’ “Qh! is she worse? When I was with you at Easter, she was sitting up ” ** The spring is always the worst time with her. Ever since the great storm and the earthquake, she has suffered so much as to be obliged to keep her bed.’’ «Indeed! then you must be earnest in prayer to the Virgin for her, and be good and industrious, that your prayers may be beard.”’ After a pause, he continued: ‘‘As you were coming down to the shere they shouted ‘ How do you do, La Rabbiata!’ hy do they call youso! It is not a pretty name for a Chris- tian girl, who should be soft, mild and gentle.’’ Her dark face crimsoned with blushes, and her eyes flashed. “They mock me because I will not dance, and sing, and talk nonsense, like every girl. Why cannot they leave me alone? I do them ne harm.” ‘But you should be courteous to every one. Perhaps you may not like to dance and sing like others whose lives are happier; but even hearts oppressed with sadness may give a kind mere She looked down and contracted her brows as if to hide the dark eyes beneath. For some time they continued their way in silence. The sun now shone brilliantly over the moun- tains; the summit of Vesuvius rose above the mist; and the houses in the orange-gardens around. Sorrento looked dazzling white in the morning rays. “Have you heard oe more of that pain- ter, Laurella—that Neapolitan who wished to marry you?’' asked the priest. She shook her head. ‘« He came once to take your picture : did you refuse to allow him ?”’ “What did he want it for? There are many said the priest; Do you wish to go tu why THE WEEELY sTAR. ‘This excellent Family and News Journai—cor- taining a greater variety of interesting reading than ean be found in any other—is published on Setur- day morning.

I will be the first to commend you; but you are young, and know little of the world, and may afterwards regret having. thrown away your happiness for some child- ish fancy.” She cast a hasty giance towards the young man, who, busy with his oar, sat in the bow of the boat, his woolen cap drawn down over hiseyes. He was gazing on the sea, and seemed occupied with his own thoughts. The priest caw her look, and bent down bis ear. ‘* You did not know my father,’’ she whis- pered, and her eyes were full of gloom. “Your father! why, he died when a were scarcely ten years old, I think' What has your father, whose soul, I trust, is in Paradise, to do with your obstinacy?” “You did not know him, padre!

Sho never spoke a word, and did all he wished; but he would beat her till my heart nearly broke. I used to draw the covering over my head, and pre- tend to be asleep; but in truth I cried all night. And when he saw her lying on the floor, his manner would suddenly change; he would raise her, aud clasp her in his arma, close to his heart, till she cried out half suffo- cated. My mother forbade me to say a word about it then; but it had such an effect upon her, that, ever since his death. mam or are you inquired the priest with sur- ears ago, she has never regained her heal! $7 it she dies—which heaven forbid!—I know who will have killed her ”” The little priest shook his head, and seemed uncertain how far he should acknowledge the justice of the girl’s reasoning. At last he said : “ Forgive him, my child, as your mother has forgiven him. Do not let your thoughts dwell on such sad scenes, Laurella; better times are in store for you, and all this will be forgotten.’’ ‘Never! I shall never forget it !”’ she said shuddering. ‘‘And it is this which has deter- mined me to remain unmarried, padre. I will not be subject to one who will ill treat me one moment and caress me the next. If any were now to attempt to do either the one or the other, I should know how to defend myself, but my mother would not do so, because she loved him _I will love no one well enough to endure suck things from him.” “ Whata child you are to talk such non- sense !’’ replied the priest. ‘Are all men like your father, who gave way to every whim and passion, and did, in truth, ill treat your mother? Have you net seen numbers of ex- cellent men in the neighborhood, and women, who live in perfect unity and peace with their husbands?’ “Ah! they appear to do so; but noone knew my father's conduct to my mother; she would rather have died a thousand deaths than have uttered a word of complaint, and all because she loved him. If it be love, which closes one’s lips so that one dare not ery out for help, and which makes one de- fenceless against greater injuries than would be endared from an enemy, then, asI have said before, I will never give up my heart and liberty toany man.” =. «I tell you, you are an ignorant child, and do nog understand what you are talking of. Your@eart will not ask you whether you will love or not; when the time comes, all these notions will then give way.” After a pers he again continued : “‘And did you tell that SS you tell him that you feared his arshness.”’ ‘His eyes looked just like my father’s when asking forgiveness of my mother, and trying to make it up with her. I know those eyes; they can be feigned even by a man who beats the wife who bas never done him any harm; and I shuddered when I sawthem ain.” After this she remained silent, and the priest followed her example. He was think- ing of much good advice that he could give to the girl; but the presence of the young sailor, who, towards the end of the conversa- tion, had become apparently restiess, closed his mouth. in about the space of two hours they ar- rived in the little harbor of Capri. Antonino carried the padre through the surf to the shore; but Leurella would not wait till be had waded back to fetch her; she lifted ber little skirt, took her wooden shoes in her right hand, the bundle in her left, and splashed sturdily through the water. “I shall remain some time at Capri, to- day,’’ said the priest, ** and you need not wait for me, my son. Indeed, I may possibly not return till to-morrow. Lnaretta, salute your mother for me when you get home; [ shall visit her before the week is out. 1 suppose you return before night ?’’ _ ‘If there be any opportunity,” said the girl, as she arranged something about her ress. “You know that I must Antonino, in what was inte different tone. “I shall wait for you till Yespers: and if you arenot hore by that time, it does not matter to me.” _‘‘ You must go back, Laurella,” put in the little priest; ‘‘you must not leave your alone all night.
