THE UNEQUAL MATCIid AN, It i XTRACT. 4he lived in a miserable court running out Tottenham Court Road; and as l' went up the dark and close-smelling staircase to her second floor, I trembled at finding myself in such a place. l'qen I entered the teem, I don't know which struck me most—the wretched ness or the cleanliness of the apartment. In one corner stood alwdstead,and from the thin fold 'of the' sheet, which was turned down over the patch-work counterpane, I knew directly that there was not a blanket upon it. In an other corner,her little invalid son lay stretched upon a mattress on the floor, with an old flan nel petticoat wrapped ruurid his limbs , to keep him warm. • Acr4ss the room on a string sus pended from wall to wall, hung - a few stock ings, and other articles of wearing apparel, to diy. There were but two wooden chairs; one of them,' with its broken back roughly mended with strings, was by the sick boy's side, with a cup on it, while . seated on the other, by a deal table, and close to the small shovelful of fire in the grate was the semp stress herself. As she turned her head round to see who entered, I perceived that one of her eyes had been bruised since she was with me, and 'no sooner did she see me atthe door, than starting up, she raised her handkerchief to her face; and observing that the disfigure ment attracted my notice, she told me—with such hesitation, that I knew it was an un truth—that she had an accident, and knocked her eye . against the door. "You have come fur the work you gave me," she said; "yes, I know I have been very remisk I ought to havebrought it home 'before, but—the fact is—a—a—" • "You have had an illness in the house," I added, endeavoring to help her. "No-4t was not that—but—" and she burst into tears. • "Come,. come, my good lady," I continued, "do not vex yourself; 1 atn not in a hurry for it, and next week, or even the week after that Neill be time enough for me„ Now, come; be candid with me—you ere in distress.— Tell me, can, I be of any assistance to you." 44 ,1%10, thank you," she:replied, with a qui. ver of the lip; I con assure you we are not in distress, however much appearances—a—a -, and we do require assistance yet." . ales; hut I know you do," I added; di though you eannot,bring yourself to confess it. 7 Madam, I do not require assistance," she replied, rising; "and surely I am not sunk so low that my word cannot be recelveV My woman's curiosity was so piqued to learn who she possibly could have been, that I sat there talking about the illness of the child, and twisting the conversation into a hundred different channels, in the hope she Would let drop something that would give me a clue to her histokrlss,...At last, just as I was about to take my leave in despair, her hus band staggered into the apartment. He was a man whose coarseness and grossness of fea ture contrasted wonderfully with hers; and yet; notwithstanding his high cheek bones and unshorn chin, and sodden complexion, there was something in the expression of his eyes and manly figure, that made me fancy that at one time he must have been almost handsome. " Now, Georgians,' ho said, in a husky thick voice, "have you got any tin 7 cos, if you has, hand it over." "DOn't you, see there is a stranger pre sent !" she answered, biting . her lips at the Idea of my being a witness to the scene. "Strangers be hanged !" he replied, look 2 ing first at me, and then at his wife; "I want some money, I tell you; those cursed skittles hits regularly cleaned me out. So, 'come ; hand us over a bob, and take that handkercher from that black 'eye I guy you for yostin giness last Tuesday. 'Where's the odds of her knowinton it ?

I rose to console her; and ori,gping up to her, she fell upon my boson), and wept like It child. Prespntly ,she. raised ,her head, saying, ,',"There] that has done the good; tell.' the now can you guesswho I am?", "I indw enough,' my -poor one," I replied, "to know that you l are aufFering from some imprudent alliance. ", ' "Iniprudent! it was a mad—downright mad dne!" she exclaimed, with T bitterness. '"o think that I, the d ughter of an earl, should have united mysel to. my father's gardener's Boni But deeper tely—idolatrously.l loved him; and for him I braved the fearful rage of father—mother—a I: And what was my re ward? Why, when my husband found every one of' my many at pplications for forgiveness spored by my hatighty parents and , even the door of my former hems shut for ever against me, then he.--aceing . :how lie,hati been foiled in the ambitious ga)ne hePad played, and that instead of the rich teiress ho pad expected, he had only an eipmsive pauper for his wife —then he, I say, reeked his vengeance on me, and then began the long series of such sufferings and privations, as even 1 who have suffered them cannot so much 'as shadow out :to you." "But wouldn't his father do something fur yourl naked. "What could ho do?" she replied. "Dis missed from his situation—ruined through my marriage with his :son (for my father, of course, suspected he had connived at it,) how could .we expect support from him? And yet we might have been far beyond want had my) husband only permitted mei° exercise the accomplishments that he'd been heaped (Toil me, at home. But to drown the vexation he felt at the fearful mistake he had.madel he flew to drink, ind soon lost iii the bottle, all ,pow= er of exertion. When he had drunk up all the trinkets I had cerried with me in my night, he began taking , my drestieu from me one by . on'e,`'atid conver ting ihetii into more money for mere li4uor; until, at last I was forced, from the very want of proper clotlfing, to discontinue giiing the lessons which were our only means of subsistence." "But if he has treated. you thus badly," I replied, "why not have left him?" "I could not-4 would not leave me;'',. she answered; "that was all I wanted—all I ask ed of him. But no, he knew he was entitled to all learned, and that I must work if it was only for my child; so as he was too idle to keep himself, he was but too glad to be kept by me. And let; notwithstanding all thio, I could haveloved him—:aye, and did luVe him like a .dog,even though he beat me like a dog. But when, in the wantonness of his dissiOtion he dared to bring his degraded companions .to my home, my -whole woman's ;mute rose up and rebelled against it, and I hated him as intensely—madly as I once had hived him.— And now, you may fancy how gladly I would leave him if I could. But oh. Heavens, I cannot! Often and often have I fled with my child in the night to save myself from further I wrong, and my poor boy from-the pollution of his father's example; but the bound has track ed me out' so soon, that I now see how fool ishihim., t is to hope ever in this life to be rid- of. i "Poor, poor lady," 1 half said to myself. "Ah, you know, not how sweet it is to find one consoling voice," she continued calmly, as the tears flowed anew,—"friends all, have turned from me, and yours are the first kind tones I have heard for years. Indeed, indeed you cannot tell what I have auffored from that man! ' The very work you gave me, ,he took by force from m drawer, and pawned to get more gin. You may look little ady, but the worst is yet untold., The dri dt your work procured hint only mode him •mad for more—ay, and he would have _ it—though I told him he had swallowed every rag thht was of any valve in the place.

He threatened blows. Still I • , told him he should not have it. He sought to force it from me. I struggled with him, and , the coward finding how tightly I grasped the. sole remaining token of my honor, struck me in the face—with what force the bruise still re • maining there will tell you—and as I lay senseless on the ground, he robbed me of my ring." • I was so moved by the wretched history I had heard, that I couldn't help weeping with her. And I would not leave her, until 't 4ot her to promise that she would henceforth look upon link little service I might.have it. in my! power to render her, nut in the light of char ity, but of friendship.. ' l' . Eirly on the marrow I went again: to , see hereto consult with her as Ito howl could best befriend her; but to my great sorrow.

Years rolled on upon the mighty tide of i time. George IVashingtoos Was the Com- tnander-in-chief of the American forces op. posed to the royal government. The friend of his early 'manhood,Beverely Robinson, was the Colonel of the Loyal American regiment raised in this state,' and his son was the bieutenant Colonel, The house we. have spoken of was in possession of the l thePrebels,' and was occupied by Arnold, the traitor. It was afterwards the temporary 'residence of ; Washington. At the same time, the husband of Mks Mary-Philipse, Roger Morris', was a prominent torY,-and a member of the' leper - mill of-the colony. Few of pile parties were oc- i cupied by any reflections of an amorous pa- II tore. Tillie, in its progress, had worked mu- I 'igloos which had severed the closest. ties both of friendship and coasanguinity. Those who were most intimate previous -to the com mencement orthe 'war,' 'were now studied strangers, with drawn swords at eadh othees / breaits. Even sons and fathers wereestrang ed and arrayed' in opposite ranks—even the child of that illustrious statesman, Dr. Friink- lin, was a bitter and uncompromising tory.— I It must not be supposed that, the loyalist friends of the Colonel, (George Washington, I shared any better fate, so far as the acquaint anceship of the Father of his Country ,was-I concerned, than others.
