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

girrets; while on the lower was • dining-room, a smo

which no man but the master of thehoose ever ventured.

his tulips—if in season—scolded his gardener good htt

Her ate hevtily of his perk and beef, drankiplenty of tea r

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

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

But Andrew Brock was even ashore jog-trot Dutchman

himself. or even to - be behind-bind, when hl could help
it. 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

his usual sails set.. lie brough Von Bischoff his letters,
his supplies of tea, sugar, and t tobacco; and took away

'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

About a year after giving birth to a lovely child, Miry

Was it As wind s or was it al sigh that made the Data:
man stint? But tbosigh be fess and looked' around he
saw nothing. Bet his unfeeling speech had @officious
effect on his feeling' to make' him believe that the ghost
of his drowned Mary had no him in this gentle
way. This belief made him - tarn t m : d little Kele with sor
rowful love. But soon be inteild not bear the sight elite,.
Before a week the memory .f the winsome wail", the
pleasant smile, the jocund Singh of his charming wife
had'eselted the beszt of the pion( tputchman. and Peter
would willingly hays one...store lost .all his peace and
tranquility to have been teased even into leanness by his
pretty Mary. Bat it was cod late. The water yielded

was money. was accosted by strange sailor, who made

from happy; he was always . on the lookout as if for some
one. Bat by degrees, as no bite came. he grew Caster
in his mind. and it last seemed to forget every canes of
unhapunhappiness, and waxed liner. being more contented
and

than ever. 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.

at which the schooner wee expected to arrive. At two

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.

as if prepared to defend them with terrible energy:
"My Heavens:" be exclaimed. "it is the let of May

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

tiei same dress; and- the DotehMan .

months of wedded life, had found a watery grave. The
schooner came nearer and nearer. and Pete!' Bischoff rose
as usual to walk down to the very edge of the water.—
The small craft was brought op in the wind, stood still.
and then was with wonderful rapidity moored by the
nerves to the shore,

he could have sworn it was the voice of the dead—"my
father, here is your Katharine. your Kale."
Merciful Heaven! It was the same hair, the ■amb
eyes, the same voice; the same form. and Peter tamed
silky and wept bitterly. Dutchman and phlegmatic as he
was.
