The value of living which is loving; the sacredest wonders of life; all that is fairest and of best delight in thought, in feeling, yea, in substance, all are apprehended under the floral crown and hymeneal veil.

"That is what I would reveal to you. I will discover to you his ship if you swear to arrest him, seize the vessel, and if possible hang him!" "You are bitter indeed," said the officer, almost startled at the fiendish expression of the Quadroon's countenance as she emphasized those two expressive words. "I have reason to be," answered Maud, calming her feelings by an effort. "Has he wronged you?"

Dropping upon her knees, she lifted the quadroon's head upon her lap. The eyes were closed, and the pallid face wore the appearance of death. Minny had fainted.
