Mark Dermot, neverj!’’ exclaimed Kathleen, rising from her seat; but with a fierce — and a determined fire in hiseye, Mark forced her down again, saying, in aclear, but terribly earnest manner : Kathleen, from my youth up, I never allowed the slightest wish bps soul to be thwarted; think you that I shall submit to be led or driven, coaxed near, or sent adrift, at the caprice of any living thing’—no! if you can’t be mine from love, you shall from fear; for,”’ ratitying his threat by afearful oath, ‘ no obstacle shall exist be- tween me and my desire.’’ “What mean you, Mark Dermot?” cried the THETEST OF BLOOD. Au Irish Tale. BY JOHN BROUGHA®M. “* Thou shalt do no murder.” “ You won't dance with me, Katbleen?”’ “ No, Luke, I will not.”’ « For what reason?”” “ Idon’t choose it. Besides, I'm engaged to Mark Dermot.” ight conversation in itself, full of the greatest im- rt. To explain it, it will be neceasary to take : ~ a Parthian — at our subject.

You cannot deny that your manner warranted me in soliciting your hand. Re- member, loye and hate dwell very near each other—the same heart contains them both. Be wine, and every wish of your soul shal! be an- ticipated—refuse me, aud tremble at the con- Sequences.” “Heaven forgive, and help me," inly prayed Kathleen, as the resultof her weak conduct now made itself so awfully apparent. Think- ing to enlist some feeling from Mark’s generosity, she frankly acknowledged to him that her affections were entirely bestowed upon the absent Luke. She knew not the demon heart in which she had trusted ; instead of inclining him to mercy, her words only inflamed him into tenfold rage. “ Vile woman !"' he exclaimed, starting to feet. “Have you then been making a scoff and jest—a plaything and a tool of me’? Bet- ter for you had you raised a fiend than tain- pered with me thus. Mow know I that you do not lie, even now, woman-deyil? One word for all!—by your eternal hope, who is it that you enee was deserved. Every young man in the place was anxious to pay court to her; and, sosth to say, she impartially dispensed her smiles to all, reserving, it must be admitted, ber more serious thoughts for one alone. That one was Luke B: t; and, as he really loved of her conduct and her in- terminablo flirtations gave him very great un- easiness. Often and often would he reason with her, implortng her to dismiss the erowd of purposeless suitors that ever fluttered around, and select even though that selection im to misery. the little madeap would say, with bt smile, ‘‘ Leannot give up altogether the delight of having so many male slaves in my train; they are useful; and if you don’t like it, you know your remedy.”’ “But do you think it is right?’’ he would say, “suppose there may be some, even one, rho loves you truly, to lead him on by the false light of your encouraging smile, to perish at last!’ ‘ shaw!" would she answer; “mon are not | do love?” a made of such perishable stuff.”’ “On my knees—Luke Bryant,’’ fervently * Weill, weli, Kathieen, haveacare; if any | S#id Kathleen. » Then wo to ye both!” cried Mark, casting her rudely from him, » With a look of in- tense bate, rushing from the cottage. There was & perfeot tempestof ragein Mark's breast as he quitted Ksthleen; plans of revenge, deadly and horrible, suggested themselves to him, and he nursed the devilish feeling within his beart-until every humanizing thought was swallowed up in the anticipation ef a sweeping revenge. On reaching the village, his first care was to find Luke; upon seeing him, he started as thoagh a serpent stood in his path. “Keep away from me, Mark Dermot,” he sternly exclaimed, “If you are come to tri- umphin one of your numerons admirers feels towards you as I Jo, to lose you would be the loss of everything.” As may be reasonably supposed, these con- vers.tious usually ended in a little tiff; when the wild, good-hearted but giddy-headed girl would select some one from her surrounding besax, to play off against Luke; generally piteh- iug upon the person most likely to touch his feelings to the very quick; herself. the while, I must do her the justice to say, quite as misera- ble, if not more so, than her victim. And now, to return, let me describe the indi- vidual whom she has chosen this time to inflict torture upon her lover, and I think you wil! yeur succeas, be careful, for there may ee with me that he has cause fur more than | be danger in it. . discontent. “ Luk replied the other, in asad tone, “*we are rivals nolonger. Nay, listen, I bring you gvod news, there are not many who would have done this; but what care I now—the fact is, like a seasible man, I am come to proclaim my own failure. Kathleen has refused me.” “* She has?” “* As true as I’m alive—rejocted me for you, Luke. Nay, as good as told me thatsho merely flirted with we to fix your chains the tighter. Cunning little devil—eh, Luke? Come, you'll shake hands with me now, I know.”’ If I could believe you, Mark,” said Luke, the joy dancing in his very eyes. “f téll you she acknowledged to me that she nevercould love any one but you. Now, am I not a generous rival, toearry his mistress's love to another? She requested me to ask you to call in this atternoon, if yt would have con- elusive proof of her sincerity, and you would then find that she could never use you so again. But now ‘tis getting late. and asI have de- livered my message, I shall leave you to dream of Kathleen and happiness. Good night—be sure and seeherin the morni.z;’’ and they parted. Mark Dermot, or, as he was most generally denominated, Black Mark. was one of those persons we sometimes meet with in the world, on whom pomeeee appearance and great natural ability are bestowed, only to be put to the basest po.stble uses. Character he had nune, except of the very worst kind ; his ostensible pursuit was smnggling, but crimes of the dark- est nature were freely whispered about him, and yet, in spite of all this, his dashing dare- devil nature and indomitable impudence, ena- bled him to show himself in places where, al- though his evil reputation was well known, he was tolerated either from supineness, or more likely from the fear of his enmity. Itis not to be wondered at then that, as Luke stood by and saw this ruffian carry of his soul's beluved, his very heart should quake from apprehension. He was unaware until this moment that she ever knew him, and his feslings, as ever and anon Mark would seem to whisper something in Kath ‘sear, to which she would seem to simile an approval, can oniy be imagined by such of my readers, if any there be, whe have seen another feeding upon suiles whieh they would fain monopolize. Jealousy of the most painful nature took Possession of Luke; he had oiten experienced sensations of annoyance before, bat never to this extent. Her fame—her chasacter—were compromised ; for be knew Black Mark to be the very worst description of man for a woman ts come in cqutact with ai all, caring nothing for the ties of morality, or for the world’s opin- ion—reckless, bad hearted, and moreover un- evmfortably band-ome in the eyes of a lover. The dauce now over, Luke imagined that she would give up her partner and join him ; but uo, the silly girl seemed proud of her con- quest, aud to take a sort of mad delight in wounding Luke's feelings to the uttermost. Fhe approached the spot where Luke with folded arms was standing, and leaning famil- jarly upon the arm of Mark, said laug ingly : “Why don’t you dance, Luke? Come, I'll find a partner for you.”’ Gailed to the very quick, Luke answered with asperity—‘“‘ Thank you, Miss Dwyer, you have found one for self, and”’—lovking at Black Mark, as a jealous lover only can look— * youll pardon me, but I don’t iike the sam- le [ro BE CoNTINUED.] ~ ee A Canpiv Deacos.—Deacon M. was an hon- est old codger, a kind. obliging neighbor. and @ good church-going christian, believing mm the Presbyterian creed to the fullest extent; but alackaday! this piilar of the church was at times a little “shaky ’—in fact the deacon would occasionally get exceedingly ‘mellow :’’ and al- most every Sunday at dinner he would indulge in his favoritecider brandy tosuch an extent that it was with some little ditficulty he reached his pew, which was in the broad aisle, near the pul- it, and between the ministers and the village Batire’s.
