A Tale ef London and Paris. BY DR. HORATIO W. NELSON, ACINOR OF “LADY CLAUDINE; OR, THE DOUBLE MARRIAGE ;"’ &c., &e , ke. [conTINVED FROM OUR LAST.] All was nowexcitement. The alarm bell, which was kept near by to strike on such occa- sions, bo to peal forth its alarm, and from a dock below, in a few moments, a boat of the Humane Society shot out, guided by a blue light, which was sent up by a watchinan sta- tioned on the cupola above the dock. The unearthly wild glare of the light, as it rose witha fiery train, high in the air, was shed upon the bridge, river, and throngs of ba: and vessels beacath, lighting them up with the glare of noon-day, but only for a moment. But in this moment those who looked down from the bridge saw a boat, as it shot out from under the arch adown which the form of the suicide had descended from the parapet, lay to an in- *tant, and drag on board the y of a man. ~ Heis safe!” — ~ They've got hi $ “‘ Whocan he be ?’’ were the exclamations of the watchmen and others. While they were yet speaking, the blue-light descended far over the water, and was suddenly extinguished in the black waves of the Thames, leaving the scene, so lately illumined and clearly visible, once more wrapped in darkness. The Humane’s barge, seeing that the strange boat had rescued the man, retired to its berth in the dock, and in a few minutes all was si- lent as before, save the light, pattering feet of Eva—for so also was she called—as she hast- ened along the bridge on her way homeward, wondering why the good gentleman should wish to drown himself, and rejoicing that the boat's company had taken him safely out of the river. We will now transfer the reader to an old structure, partly stone and partly of old black and decayed oak, which stands on the very shore of the Thames, half a mile above London a on the right bank. It was one of the few dwellings which remained of the days of Elizabeth, and had been the residence of a no- ble lord of her court; and for that day it was an edifice of dignity and importance. But houses have their histories, and their ups and downs in life, as well as their owners; and aft ter passing through many queer experiences and being put to many base uses, it had, at the time of our story. go} to be a sort of river-side ope, or boatman s inn _ it was pecaliarly fitted for such a use, hay- ing :ts second story built out like a piagza far over the water, so that a score of wherries and other boats eould run under and lie together beneath its shelter; while from the water up, through the floor of the piazza, wasa Stairway. giving access to the main body~of the house. which had a front on Thames Alley. a vile and narrow lane. which threaded the mazes of old houses that lined the river side. _ As the ‘ Sack’’—by which name this ancient inn was known—was equally aoceasible by the street as by the river—it had two sets of visit- ors—the cabmen es well as the watermen. The house had a bad name, and a villainous look— with its dark, stout sbutters most always closed, its gloomy exterior. and the well-known char- acter of its host—as a returned convict, as well as the ugly visages of his guests, who lounged about the door, it evidently deserved its repu- tation. Upon it the police kept vigilant eyes, and probably from its doors had been taken to Prison more rogues of every dye than from any other sink of sin in the heart of London town The inn was quiet. The landlord, for rea— sons of his own, had closed his doors half an hour earlier than usual. Yet he had not pat out all his guests. Beneath the iron lamp, and partly in its descending rays, sat a man whose sppearance was striking. Ie was very large in nis breadth of shoulders and had a heavy- looking square head, covered by short, black hair, streaked with gray. His features were bold aud high, with eyes of singular steadiness and fire. His complexion was sea-tan 0a man who has been in foreignclimes. He bad outone arm, and wore the empty sleeve of lis nautical wateh-coat thrust into the bres: of it. His lips were compreased firmly upon ageail pipe which be was smoking, not placidly, but fiercely. as if his thoughts were wild ana excited. Upon the table by his side lay a heavy pistol, which he had just been ex- aminin;, and placed there as if satisfied with his scrutiny. By the ure-place, not far off, sat the host of the *Sack,”’ who, from a well known chapter in his history, was known as ‘ Botany ay Paul,”’ a sobriquet he affected to be proud of instead of resenting. It intimated that he had seen the world, and had had *-experience,” and was an old bird, no longer to be caught with chaff. And although Paul was ever ready to give advice and counsel to less experienced Togues, and even to let conspiracies against the Peace and weal of society meet secretly beneath ais roof, yet he was careful never to go so far as to compromise himself. ‘- He had once seen the Bengal tiger,’’ was his invariable reply, and he did uot care about going a second voy- age across the sea to gaze upon hie visage. Paul was at ease in the world, laying up money by his inn for a rainy day, and bad grown fleshy aneath the chin and about the abdomen, with good fare. He now sat by the fire-place in a huge, oaken, eily jooking arm- chair that he ewore Jack Falstaff had often sat in, and ‘for that matter, and a less matter, Prince Hal, too.’ He was not king, for he assevered that he had ne'er a stomach for to- bacco—but a can of ale rested upon his fat knee, held firmly in his fat gripe. To have seen Paul in this attitude, with his rubieund face, one would never have suspected his jacket covered a convict’s bad heart, and that, un- @erneath the hanging lock of hair which he keptcarefully trained over his eyes, was burned —_ into bis flesh a fiery letter -R.” esat and watched his one-armed guest’s face out of the corner of bis dull, bluish eyes, but seeming to look into theembers.
