A VERYiIUTeII TALE. Mein Herr you Bischoffwas • Dutchman. as almost every oo wilt permute from his Immo, and one of the most comfortable, smoking. tea-drinking, punch-imbi bing of his numerous fraternity, He had abandoned be• sinus at an early era, to one knew why. unless from love of ease. though certainly it was quite clear be had enough to hue upon. He bad-been 'a merchant in New York. but no longer lived.in that city. ' He had, before he was forty years of age, retired to a splendid estate on both : sides of a small creek that operod into a lovely bay. A green and high bluff stood on the southern side,of the bight, covered with low trees aid bushes. and lon the sides and all .around by wood. At the foot of the cliff Bischoff built his house. It wu s perfect model of neat ness and cleanliness. It was-of Mon . 1 1, and formed two story.. The upper story was all tiedrocints, as were the girrets; while on the lower was • dining-room, a smo king-room, to large kitchen, and_ at, apartment into which no man but the master of thehoose ever ventured. IL was barred with iron, and the only window, opened in to • passage. But no one thence could see the inside. the glass being stained, and heavy curled's, further ob seurit The door was always carefully lock- Biscoff bad _ numerous servants. male and female, 'white and black. He grew hia own vegetables% reared his own cattle, bad a poultry yard. a splendid dairy, as clean as an old maid's parlor. He num wen, 'atet as* metre .He rose at six. took a walk ronud his garden. looked at his tulips—if in season—scolded his gardener good htt rhoredly, peeped into.his poultry yard, examined the dai ri with the airof a eounoisens, and then breakfasted.— Her ate hevtily of his perk and beef, drankiplenty of tea r rhnodhed taco or three cent cakes. and then smokeil a pipe y way of digestion. At - eleven, after a stroll tihrougfi the house—a stroll' always amicimpanied by utionerotui grunts and objnrgations at the 'Mines, and cstraviiganee, of servants-t -he took his . schnapps. as he called his first glass of spirits. and then read the last Dutch paper with rare gusto, though he had almost worn it out.• and it was at length nearly two years old.' Bat until anuthbr came it was the retied Merchant'siatest intelligence; and as these days no one, especially Dutchmen. were aver in i hurry for Dims. it served the purpose at least of oar loodein Sandlty paper. At one be dined, with an ap petite which to us degenerate mortals would seem dreadful in its vehemence. Bat Von Bischoff—Peter ! Was his Christian name—looked upon dining u a duty, pd never moved from table in less than an hour. He his beef and cabbage, his baton. his beans, his veal eon, his fish. with clockwork 'regularity, and quaffed his beer with equal respect for fire interior mechanism of his stomach. Then he made a glass of punch, and in floe weather went down to the port of New Rotterdam, as his estate was called. We said the pat. - This re quires explanation. ! The Dutchman's garden went right down to the edge of the water. It hid,been chosan for the purpose where the bank was high and steep.ined a very decent quay bad been knocked up with a few cedar piles driven into the water. and a number or plank, laid down from them to bower had been rected close to the port; and here Peter would take; his Ise of grog. and his pipe. and spre'Sding himself out in a, leathern cushioned arm-chair, would gaze Upon tha water in the direction of the capital of the stata of New ;York.

He could not bit induced to undrstaid why wind and tides should ever vary, or at all events should not be per fectly regular in their-,variations. And yet, if the wind was against him. Andrew took it quietly. He was not like an English madcap of •a sailor. going to bother-him self with beating up the channel against the wind, wear ing out ship and tackle, but waited until he could sail in 1 a reasonable methodical manse , in his•usual course, with his usual sails set.. lie brough Von Bischoff his letters, his supplies of tea, sugar, and t tobacco; and took away • n, and theese. Sod corn, and leaf-tobacco, and other thin& which ihei Dutchman grow; and now and then the 'schooner brought a Dutch paper, which delighted the heart of the owner of Rotterdam for montim, yea, even for years. A whole week did it take Andrew Brock to load and unload, with the assistance of his crew and the well-fed negroes of the establishment. But Hein H er never grumbled. lie had some one to drink with hire, to smoke with him, and to sit with him. Not that when Captain Brack sat dowi bolero, him they' ever roused themselves to any greater exchange of intellectuality than a few remarks reliative to thi ilellenik or the tobee. eo. But then there is sociability in company which eves a silent Dutchman can appreciate!. and Von Bischoff 'wu on such oceasions, eminently haimy.

Nei still lent money .to good houses:, but Captain Andrew transacted his bailees* for him, collected 'hie accounts, had his bonds signed, and did every thing which was .bseilful. - Every month he brought home all that had belie repaid in interest or prin cipal daring the month. and took back all that Peter con ponied to put out to interest , Richer and richer grew our Dutchman. fori not only is money.,but his vast en tates brought him in profit. The let of May Wai the daj on which Katharine was expected home. It was a bright and satiny morning.— Pattr ate his dinner with hi; usual method, after order ing a luxurious tea to be read at three o'clock. the hoer at which the schooner wee expected to arrive. At two precisely he - was in his bower with pipe and glass. He lit the, one aid took • sip at the other, and then looked around. His pipe dropped from his month and almost out of his hand as he saw twe sehooners headed for the port of New Rotterdam. at the usual distance. They were so exactly alike that Peter was puzzled to know which was which. What could this mean? There Was some mystery abort the matter. There was., he . was sure, going to be trouble and vexation and his equanimity would surely be disturbed. "That it shonkl happen on this very first of May 17—," he 'lri`ed: "the birth day"— But why Who sit pale tad trembling. why does bailey down his pipe; why does he gulp down his drink, and. buttoning his pockets, autsanie an air of sullen defiance. as if prepared to defend them with terrible energy: "My Heavens:" be exclaimed. "it is the let of May 17—; Katharine's birthday, and the anniversary What will become of me?" Di The usually rubicund and merry face of the tch man grew pale. all the commonly suffused red eo gro wing on the top of hii large , nose. his . eyes twi klod with angry Vehemence. and an awful frosin of alarniing potent collected on his brow. His glance never left the two schooners, which came on exactly abreast; with their nags fliiog. and heading exactly for the pinto( Now Rot wham. Peter now recognised that of Brock by the oft-mended sails, those of the other being spick-and-span new of White dock; while the vessel itself had a Bowe and natty - appearance.: Mein Her von Bischoff sank down upon his arm-chair in deep thought. Iris unlit pipe was between his teeth, his replenished glass- was untouched. He could disungisish something ou the deck of Andrew Brook's schooner which made his heart leap. It was 'a figure which carried him beck 16 yews., It was the same ,size, in 1k tiei same dress; and- the DotehMan . cod have sworn wee her who, 'after twenty-four months of wedded life, had found a watery grave. The schooner came nearer and nearer. and Pete!'
