LA RABBIATA: OR, LOVE AND PRIDE, { conciupED. | “In the name of our Holy Mother!” he cried, ‘‘ come into the boat. I have beens fool! Heaven knows whatcame overme A fiash of light seemed to dazzle my brain; I was mad, and did not know what I was saying ordoing. I do not ask youto forgiye me, Laurella; I only wish to save your lie by en- treating you to get in again.” Sey swam on as though she had heard no- thin, “ Sou can never reach the land; it is at least two miles off. Think of your mother; if anything were to happen to you, she would die of grief ’’ Laurella measured the distance to the shore with her eye, then, without replying, she swam towards the boat, anc grasped the side with ber hands. He stood up to help her; his jacket, which had lain on the bench, slipped into the water as the boat was drawn on one side by the girl’s weight, She swung herself up, and took possession of her former seat. hen he saw her safe, he resumed his oars, whilst she tried to wring out her dripping garments, and to shake the water from her r. air. Whilst thus engaged, her eyes fell on the bottom of the boat, and she now first perceived the blood. Shecast a rapid glance towards the hand with which, as though unwounded, he was using the oar. “ Here!” she said, and extended her hand- kerchief to him. He shook his head, and rowed on. At length she stood up, went to him, and bound the handkerchief tightly round the deep wound. She then, notwithstanding his opposition, took one of the oars herself, sat down opposite, but without looking at him, and fixed her eyes on the oar, reddened with blood, at the same impelling forward the boat with powerful strokes. They were both pale and silent. As they approached the land they were met by the fishermen going out to lay their night-nets, They shouted to Antonino, and jeered at Laurella; but neither looked up nor replied with a word. The sun still stood tolerably high over Procida when they reach- ed the shore. Laurella again shook out her dress, which was by this time almost dry, and sprang to land The old spinner who had seen them start in the morning was again on the beach. ‘“‘Whatis the matter with your hand, ’To- nino?’’ she cried. ‘‘ Holy Mary! the boat is swimming in blood?’’ “Teas ee good mother,”’ replied the youngman. ‘I have raised the skin alittle, but it will be well by to-morrow. That un- lucky blood is always at the surface, ready to flow forth, and make things look worse than they are.’’ “<I will come and lay herbs on it, comrade. Wait—I shall be with you in a minute.”’ ‘* Do not trouble yourself, Goody. It is all right now, and by to-morrow it will be well, and forgotten. I have a healthy skin, which heals up directly.” ** Addio !’’ said Laurella, as she turned in- to the pat up thé ascent “Good evening !” cried the young man, but without looking at her. He then removed his tackle and the baskets from the boat, and climbed up the little stone steps tohis hut Noone but himself inhab- ited the two rooms, through which he now be- gan topace up and down. There was more air than there had been in the morning, and it came in refreshingly through the open win- dows; the solitude, too. was delightful to him. He stood some time before the little picture of the Virgin, and gazed thoughtfully on the ut he did not pray, for he knew not what petition to make, now that all hope was gone ime had seemed to stand still to-day; he longed for night, for he was weary, and the loss of blood affected him more than he imagined. He felt a sharp pain in his hand, and, seating himself on a chair, loosened the bandage. The blood, which had been repressed, burst out again, and the hand all around the wound was mach swollen. He washed it carefully, and strove to cool it. On examining it again, he could clearly trace the marks of Laurella’s teeth “She was right,’’ he said; *‘ was a brute, and deserved no better. I will send back her handkerchief to-morrow by Giuseppe.’’ When he had again bound up his hand as well as he could with the aid of his teeth, he threw himeelf on the bed and closed his eyes. The bright moon awoke him from a doze, and the hand seemed even more painful than be- fore. He had just raised himself to soothe the beating pulses with water, when he heard a noise at the door. “Who is there?’ cried he; and lifting the latch, Laurella stood before him! Without a word she walked in, threw off the covering she wore on her head, and placed a little basket on the table. Then she drow a long breath ‘You came to fetch your handkerchief,” said Antonino, ‘‘ but you might have been spared the trouble, as to-morrow morning early I should have requested Giuseppe to take it to you.”” ‘It is nothing about the handkerchief,” she replied quickly ‘I have been on the hill- side to gather herbs for you to stop the bleed- ing. There,’’ and she raised the cover of the basket. ** Why did you give yourself 80 much trou ble?”’ said he without any bitterness ‘Iam better already—much better; and if I were worse, it would be nothing but what I de- serve. Why have you come at this hour! Suppose any one were to find you here! You know how they chatter, even when they have no foundation.”’ “T care for none!”’ she said hastily. “I will see your hand, and apply these herbs, for you oan never manage it by yourself.’” “ J tell you there is no necessity.’ “Then let me seo it myself, that I may be- lieve you.”’ He could not resist her when she took his hand and removed the bandage She started when she saw the violent swelling, and ex claimed : “ Holy Virgin !"” “Tt has bled a little,”’ sald he, “ but a day or two will set it all right.” She shook her head ‘Tt will be a week at least before you can go out to sea again.’” “Nonsense It will be well by the day after to-morrow at latest. Besides, what does it signify ?”’ eanwhile, she had re-washed the wound, to which he submitted like achild. She then placed upon it the healing herbs, which al- most instantly relieved the fever, and bound up the hand with atrips of linen which she had brought in her little basket. When she had finished— 7 q ‘I thank you, Laurella,’’ said he, “and now listen! "If you will favor me still further, forgive me for the madness which took Ips session of me to-day, and forget all I said or did. I do not myself know how it happened. You were not the cause, I can assure you; and you shall never again hear anything from me that can displease you.”’ «Tt is L who have to ask your pardon,” in- terupted she ‘I ought to have put things before you in another and better light, and not irritated you with my nonchalant air; and then the wound’—— “It was necessary, and quite time that I should be brought to my senses,’ he replied ; “and, as I have before said, it is of no conse- quence. Do not speak of pardon; you have one me good, and I thank you for it. And now go home, and to bed; and there is your Rasdhanhiak ayes can take it'with you He held it towards her, but she still stood there, and appeared struggling with herself.

When be looked up, he started. heavy drops were rolling down Laurella’s cheeks. ‘* Holy Madonna !”” he cried, “are you nr You are trembling from head to foot !”* “It is nothing,” she said. “I will go home ;’’ and she turned towards the door; but her emotion overpowered and lesv- ing her head against the door-post, she sobbed aloud. He hastened towards her, but before he could take her hand, she threw herself into his arms. *‘ I cannot bear it?” she cried, clinging to him like a dying creature to life. “I cannot bear your speaking so kindly, and me leave you, when I am conscious of havin, done you so much injury. Strike me! tread me under your feet! curse me even! or if it be true that you love me still, after all I have done, here, take me, keep me, do with me what you will; only do not send me away from you thus?’’ Sobs again interrupted hi He held her for a time in his arms in silence. ‘< If I still love you!” cried he, at I > ‘‘ Holy Mother ! do you imagine all my heart's blood has run out of that little wound? Do you not feel it there beating in my breast, as though it would burst? If you only say this to try me, or out of pity for me, go away, and I will try to forget this also. You shall not think yourself guilty, because you know what I suffer about you.” “No!” she replied firmly; and looking up eagerly from his shoulder through her swim- ming tears. “I love you! and, lest I should let you see it, I have straggled strongly azaingst it. But now I will behave differ- ently, for I could not help looking at you if I met you in the street. And now,’’ added she, solemnly. “receive this kiss, that you may say to yourself if you doubt again: “She kissed me, ard Laurella kisses none but bim she intends for her husband.

Anto3 nino continued to gaze for some time longer through the window over the glorious sea, in which a thousand stars seemed to twinkle. The next time the little priest came out of the confessional, in which Laurella had been kneeling, he smiled quietly to himself. ‘* Who would have thought,” said he men- tally, “that Heaven would so soon have shown mercy to this strange heart? And there was I anticipating a hard with that besetting sin of hers, pride. But how short-sighted are we mortals, where Heaven is so wise! Well, may the blessing of all the saints be upon her; and may I live to see the day when Laurella’s eldest son can take his father’s place in rowing me across the water. Ei, ei, ei! La Rabbiata!” Triat or 4 MAN For Mcurpenrine 1s Wire. Her Sudden Appearance in the Court-room! On Saturday an examination took place before Esq. Hessenmueller of Michael Wyngert, for the murder of his wife. This prosecution was induced by the sudden disappearance of the Woman about six weeks since, and it was sup- posed, from the habitual ill-treatment to which she was subjected, that she had been murder- ed. No trace of her could be found, and tho statement of the defendant confirmed the sus- picion. The evidence had been heard, and, though it was circumstantial, the probability of the murder was strongly sustained - At this junction—the court-room being densely crowded by excited spectators—the woman alleged to have been murdered made her ap- pearance, to the great surprise and gratifica- tion of all, and especially of the culprit on trial. The woman had abandoned her liege lord, and sought the asylum for the poor at the infirmary. where, sick and forlorn, she had received care and cure. She, of course, was totally ignorant of the charge of murder against her husband, and it was only by acci- dent that the intelligence came to those’ who were 9 (arn of the trial, and she was sought out and produced at the court, to the pleasant astonishment of all concerned.—C/eveland Plaindealer. American Wing. —A correspondent of the Nashville Patriot gives the followin sugges- tive facts touching the capability of Tennestee to become an important wine producing district. The experiments already made go to demon- strate that no branch of agriculture is likely to be so remunerating as this, so much so that the attention of our farmers has been generally drawn to the subject, and the number of vineyards is rapidly increasing in that State. es itr Camuse, a native France, an en- thusiastic wine-grower, and exennig, 4 versed in all the mysteries of wine wing, has giv. en the subject a fair test, and I am happy to s.y, has produced a wine not inferior in delica- cy of flavor, or in its healthy and happy effect upon the system, to the most celebrated wine of Rare : I am informed by M. Camuse that a thousand gallons per acre is the ordi- nary yield of a well cultivated vineyard in Tennessee, and that so favorable isthe climate to its growth that failure of the crop need hardly ever be feared.” Ar Sea in 4 Boat.—The Boston Traveler says that on Thursday, four boys belonging in South Boston hired a row-boat to pola about the wharves, as was sup - They desired, however, to bea littie adventurous, and put off down the harbor The severe wind blew them out to sea, and they could not get back. A boat was sent down by their parents to find them. but went as far as Gov- ernor’s Island without getting any clue to them, and it was suppozed they must have been capsized and drowned. On Friday morn- ing they arrived home in safety, having been icked up by a vessel coming up the harbor. ‘he boys were much exhausted, and narrowly escal with their lives. «HasrruaL Accuracy.”’-—The stable of Mr. Benjamin Waters, Cameron street, was destroyed by fire on Friday night.—Mereury tn the Sun.
