many a. day,
Who were they ? What were

These, and many other questions I
asked myself, and when we arrived
1 at the great rusty gate of the park I
was as near to the solution of the
mystery as when we first left the de
pot.
A bright light burned in the house,
and as 1 escorted them up the path,
the great oak door flung wide open.

I the porch, without uttering a word
I she drew the old gentleman inside,
' and left the girl and me alone; she
turned, and holding out both hands
I said with a sweet smile,
"Thank you Mr. —"
I "Colman," I said.
"Mr. Colman, we are much obliged
to you for your kindness," and with
I a warm pressure of both hands
i she turned and left me, shut
tingl out all the tight with her, and I
walked home, bringing with me the
remembrance of a very bright pair of
eyes and the knowledge that I had
left my heart behind me.
Next morning I called to inquire
after the young lady who had so
charmed ine. Miss Lee, as I found
her name to be, received one very
kindly, and made the time pass so
pleasantly that the shadows were
fast deepening op the park without I
before arose to go.
That was thee commencement of
our acquaintance, which progressed
rapidly. We were always together,
took walks and rides, went on wood
land excursions, boat rides, picnics,
etc., etc., until the good' folks around
began to couple our names as engag
ed. Ah mei what a happy time
that was. I had learned to love her
passionately, and only wanted her
assurance that uiy love was returned
to complete my happiness.
Hr. HayWerd had only one child,
:4 daughter, iliglo bad been placed in
a convent in France immediately at
ter her mother's death. Nina and
her mother had been with him a I
long, lone time, Mrs. Lee as house
keeper and Nina as—well, it was
hard to define NI inn's position in the
household; she was amanuensis, com
panion, anti did a great many other
duties which prevented her from be
ing entirely dependent upon her
mother's or Kr. It's bounty. Mr.
H. hada nephew, too, a wild, reek
lesesort of a fellow, whom his uncle
had disinherited and disowned.
Alt this, Nina told me one evening,
when we were out in the woods get
ting mosses. We were sitting by a
pretty babbling brook, she, so that
the last rays of the setting sun envel
oped her in a golden ,halo, her fair
fate wore a soft. dreamy expression-,
the head bent shyly. was crowned
with a wreath of wild flowers, from
under Which the beautiful hair fell in
wild luxuriance. It was like some
lovely picture—the old gnarled trees
forming trgreen background, - while
the straggling branches, stirred by
some fitful breeze, would touch with
caressing lingers the sort pink cheek.
Scarce knowing what I did, I
threw my arm areund her slender
waist and drawing her trembling
form close4ome, told her alt the love
which I had kept concealed so long.
I could feel her heart throb wildly
white I spoke, and when I finished
one round white arm crept gently
round my nets, and hiding the
blushing face on my breast she softly
told me that my love was returned.
For three weeks after that I was
in the "Foot's ' Paradise ;" three
long happy weeks and then the blow
came. t
I bad gone to see her one evening;
as usual she met me at the door, pale,
wild, frightened, two red spots
burned like fire on her dusky cheeks,
while her eyes fairly blazed.

room immediately upon my return.
It was a dark, gloomy-lotkiting room;
in one corner was a large 01d-fashion
ed bed on which Mr. Hayward Was
lying, a small table was drawn close
to the bed, and placing my inkstand
upon it, 1 drew a chair up. Re
started on seeing me, and when I had
taken my seat, commenced in a thin
cracked voice to dictate what I
should write. The will was very
short; he bequeathed everything to
his daughter, saying, in conclusion,
"As my nephew has behaved so bad
ly, 1 leave him only toy best wishes
that he may reform."
At these words a quick gleam pass
ed over Nina's face, and she handed
ma the other will. 1 took it, and
dropping a per, in the other ink
stand, handed it to him with the oth
er will. lie seized the pen, end in
large, straggling letters signed his
name. Mrs. Lee, Nina and I then
signed as witn es ses, and the deed
was done. All this time the old man
had been failing rapidly, and already
the death-dew stood on his brow.
Nina and her mother left the room;
now was the time; I took the right
will—which I had drawn up at his.
dictation—and stooped over him.
"Mr. Hayward," I said in a clear,
firm voice, "sign this will, the other

"Ruined !" he gasped, "Nellie ru•

gave her one look, and turned
and left her, as I had once before
that night, with hatred. despair and
horror filling my soul.
Mr. Hayward was buried with
great pomp and ceremony, and a few
days later the new owners took pos
session of the property.
I stayed to see that settled and
then left for France, and on my ar
rival there went immediately to the
convent and asked for Miss Hay
ward. She was a small. pretty girl,
with a profusion of dark hair. She
was attired in deep mourning, and
seemed overwhelmed with grief at
the loss of her father. After the
burst of tears were over, she told me
that she intended starving with the
Sisters.
"That you should not do," I said
quietly; "you should leave here as
soon as possible and go to England;
it will be exactly three walnut after
your father's death when you arrive
there, should you leave at onee. and
then you can enter on your proper

She looked at me, a puzzled ex
piession on the pretty face.
"How," she said, "am I not dis
inherited?"
"Fear not," I said, "the God of the
fatherless will protect you."
She raised her blue, tearful eyes to
mine and answered, "I'd trust to
God and go."

TIRE I'ArNATTRA I, FATHER.
Many years ago I happened to be
one of the referees in a ease that ex
cited unusual interest in our courts,
from the singular nature of the claim,
and the strange story which it dis
closed. The plaintiff, was captain of
a ship which traded principally with
the West Indies, had married quite
early, with every prospect of happi
ness. His wife wassaid to have been
extremely beautiful, and no less love
ly In her character.
After living with her in the most
uninterrupted harmony for five
years, during which timely:o daught
era were added to the family, he sud
denly resolved to resume his occupa
tion, which he had relinquished on
his marriage, and when his young
est child was but three weeks old,
Sailed once more for the West Indies.
His wife, who was devotedly attach
ed to him, sorrowed deeply at his ab
sence, and found her only comfort
in the society of her children and the
hope of his return. But month after
month passed away and he tame not,
nor did any letters, those insufficient
but welcome substitues, arrive to
cheer her solitude. Months length
ened into years, yet no tidings were
received from the absent husband;
and, after hoping against hope, the
unhappy wife was compelled to be
lieve that he had found a grave be
neath the weltering ocean.
Her sorrow wasdeep and heartfelt,
but the evils of poverty were now
added to her alllietions, and the wid
ow found herself obliged to resort to
some employment in order to sup
port her children. Her needle was
the only resource, and for ten years
she labored early And late for the
miserable pittance which is ever
grudgingly bestowed on an humble
seamtress.
A merchant in New York, in mod
erate but prosperous circumstances,
accidentally became acquainted with
her, and; Ititeased with her gentle
manners n less than her extreme
beauty, tad endeavored to improve
their acquaintance into f r iendship.
After sortie months he offered - his
b o nd, and was accepted. As the
wife of a successful merchant she
soon found herself in the enjoyment
of comfort. and luxuries such as she
had neve before possessed. Her
children me his children and re
ceived from him every advantage
which Wealth and affection could pro
cure.

A True Story.
Established 1818.
Mean years passed kwaY), the
daughters were married and by
their stepfather were furnished with
every comfort requisite to their new
avoeatioa as hobsekeners. Hut they
had hardly quitted his roof when
their mother was taken ill. She died
after a few days, and from that time
until the period of which I speak,
the widower had resided with the
younger sister
Now opine, the strange part of the
story. After an absence of over thir
ty years, during which time no ti
dings had arrived from him, the first
husband returned as suddenly as he
had departed.
He bad changed his ship, adopted
another name, and spent the whole
of that lone period on the ocean, with
only transient visits on shore; while
taking in or discharging 'cargoes,
having been careful never- 2, to come
nearer home than New Orleans,
Why he had acted in this unpardon.
able manner toward his family no
one cOuld tell, and. he obstinately re
fused an explanation.
There were points strange rumors
of slave-trading and piracy afloat,
hut they were whispers of conjecture
ratherthan truth. Whatever might
have been his motives for his mu
duct, he was certainly anything but
indifferent to his family concerns

windows otthe court-rnom, and shed
a halo around the lorig gray locks and

while- the ulaintiff'slharsh features
were thrown into still bolder relief
by the same beam which wfteped
the placed countenances of his ad-

The plaintiff's lawyer made a most
eloquent appeal for his client,
.and 1
had we not been informed about the
matter, our hearts would hav,e been
melted by the touching description
of the returner thedesolate husband,
and the agony of which he now be

to consecrate a stranger's hearth.
The celebrated Aaron Burr was 1
Council for the defendent, and we
anticipated from him a splendid dis
play of eloquence. Contrary to
,our
expectations, however, he made no I
attempt; to confute his opponents or
atory. He merely opened a book- of
statutes, and pointing with his ttiirN
finger to one of the pages, desired the
referees to read it, while he retired

We had scarcely finished the sec

in our-ininds,-.when Burr:re-entered
with a -fall and elegant female lean

a simple white dress, with a wreath

Turning to the plaintiff, Mr, Burr
asked, in a cold, quiet way:
"Do you know this lady?"
"I do."
"Will you swear to that?"
"I will. To the best of my knowl
edge and belief she is my daughter."
"Can you swear to the identity""
"1 mu."
"What is her age?"
"She was thirty years old on the
IlUth day of April."
"When did you see her List?"
"At, her own house about a fort
night 'since."
-When did you see her previous to
that meeting."
"Ihe plaintiff hesitated—a long
pause ensued—the question was re
peued, and the answer at length
was:
"On the 11th day of May, 17---."
"When she was just three weeks
old!" added Burr,

Turning tb the lady, in a tone
whose sweetness as a strange contrast
with the scornful accent that just
characterized Kis word, he besought
her to relate qiefly the recollections
of her early life. A slight flush pass

"My first reccollections are of a

my sister and mytwlf shared with my

she used to weep more frequently
than ever. I then thought she wept
because we were poor, for it some
times happened that our support was
only a bit of bread; and she was ac
cused to sew by the light of the chips
which she kindled to warm her fatn•
fishing children, because she could
not purchase a candle without de
priving us of our morning meal.
Such was our poverty when my

Nevi Ortolan% Judge Weighing
Evidence. ,
A. short time since a worthy mag
istrate of this city had rather a ditti
' cult - question to decide, in the solu
• tion of which 'ne struck out a patti •
hitherto unknown in jurisprudence.
I t seems that twelve negroes appeared
before him, one of whom swore posi
tively that himself and the other
eleven bud ~lone a certain amount of
work on a steamboat, and was en- -
titied
thereby to wages. It YIDS a
stcady streak,. each of the dozen
swearing, precisely the same. 0 n
the other side appeared the mate of
the boat and eleven deck hands, who
all twelve swore directly and point
blank to an opposlte state of facts to
those test i tied to by the twelve plain
tiffs. Here the evidence el :wed, leav
ing the judge to make up his mind.
His Minor scratched his head,
Looked wise, pondered a few mo
ments, and then said : "The law ,
makes it the duty of the court, when
in doubt, to weigh the evidence. I
shall proceed to do so in • this case.

The Financial World.
Another financial panic! Gold
rising to 1 t7h, and Wall street this
week on tire! There is something in
the mystery of money which plain ,
men can hardly understand. Why
should bullion rise when the nation
al credit is in the ascendant? Every
body of mature age recollects the
doubts thrown over our paper cur
rency, and yet to-davit is' as pro
foundly respected and confided in as
specie; a greenback or a national
bank note is accepted in every State,
Territory, county, township, and
school district in the land. We have
no doubt that millions of these notes.
are hoarded away. Our credit is al
-1 most at the head of the nations of the
earth. c The mere fact that we could
pay

ness ten times quicker than France
paid off, or is paying off, its obliga
tions to Germany, shows the supreme
value of the securities of this Gov.
eminent. Our people trust with k
ceaseless mast in the Renal:die.
Their energies are endless, their re
sources exhaustless. And yet this
rise in gold and the subsequent de
preciation in paper currency would
seem to be a proclamation of . bank
ruptcy. There is nothing so dreary
as financial platitudes, nothing so
unsatisfactory its the eternal talk
about the laws of trade, and we think
sometimes those who indulge_ in
these theories. know as little as the
multitudes they mystify. The com
mon-sense question recurs. Why ,
should a great nation, with a paying
people, an unstained credit, and ex
haustless resources, be subjected by
the stock-jobbers in a few great cities
to these periodical pariles?—P/0 1, -
