A TRUE STORY . Some sixty or seventy years ago, a vessel from HuHbm arrived Ht one of the wharves in Londort. Amon the hand on board was one by the name of Tudor, a steady respectable and well looking 3'ounjj man, who acted in the capacity of both cooper and sailor. Very early one morning, and before any other band than Tudor bad come on deck, a young, beautiful, ami tol erably well dressed female came tiippmB down the street to the vessel, and inquired of Tudor for the Captain, irhe was told that he had not yet arose, but she insisted t'pon seeing him without delay, and, with Tudor" a permission, proceeded utiaccom- r" u!,is herV" lu,d s . J- diesseii u mii wim "GoikI morning, f'aptain. I have called to sec if you will marry me ?' "Marry you? replied the astonished : Captain, believing hor to be v( a suspicious j character, "leaye Iho vessel instantly, if yon know what is for your interest." J She then went to the mate's berth and J asked if lie would niairy Iter, and received I an answer nimilar to the Captain's; she ! then went nion deck where Tudor was cn i gaged in some business, and put the ques ! tion to him. j "With all my heart,' answered Tudor in j a half serious and half jocular manner, j Then," said she, "come along with me. Tudor left his work and followed Iior w illi motives which, he afterwards declared, he t could never satisfactorily account Tor, even to himself. ' By the time they had reached the principal streets of the city, many of the shops had been opened. The lady en tered ft barber-shop, followed by Tudor, beckoned him to be seated, and ordered the knight of the razor to take off his board and bis hair, both of . which opeiations he nn- questionably Rtood greatly in need of. Sho footed the bill, and they both left the shop, , soon entered a hat store. She request- j etj that the best lot ot neaver nats iu tne . . , . . t,J nn Mm counter and : BHIT3 UIIUI- - - 1 . then told Tudor to select such a one as suited. Ho soon did this ; the price was J paid by the lady ; Tudor threw aside his . old tarpaulin, and left tho store in company -! with his companion, in a beaver that would not have disgraced His Majesty the King ; himself. They visited a hoe store whore 1 Tudor was not long in selecting a pair of , boots, nor the lady in payinz for them. Tudor by this time Tvas puzzled to divine tho object the lady bad in view, and it must be acknowledged ho was apprehen btve all was not right ; but, fully aw are that he had committed no crim to make hint 1 dread the face of any mortal, and wishing to see the end of the farce which had been so fairly commenced, Le was determined to press forward, prepared for the worst, trusting everything to bis guide and com pan ion. He solicited from the lady an ex planation of her designs, but she told him to be silent ami ask no questions, and ini mediately led the way into a clothing stove w ith Tudor at hor side. Here Tudot was told to select the best suit of clothes in tho store that fitted him, with corresponding articles of clothing, and the sailor in his doublet, tar-bedaubed pantaloons, and checkered shirt, was in a few minutes meta morphosed into as fine a gentleman, as lar as appearances were concerned, its had walked the streets of that 'metropolis for many a day. The bill at this place as vrcil as at the others, was paid by the lady. Tudor'a amazement was now complete. lie knew pot what to say or think. Who the lady was, and what hei intentions wer he could not even surmise. He again asked her f r an explanation, and insisted upon one ; but the only answer Le received was : "Follow nie and do not be alaimed all will be explained hereafter to your entire satisfaction. " One thing Tudor was obliged to ac knowledge the lady, thus far, had done J by him as be could have wished ; he there- i ; fore resolved to ask no more questions, and ( to comply with her requests and demands. , Presently she conducted him into a magis- j trafe's office, nnd requested the minister of : tho law to unite her and her companion in matrimony. This was something e-fadamp-j cr to Tudor, but nevertheless lie tacitly yielded ; the ceremony was soon comrnenc ; t-.d, and in a few seconds the couple were ttronomioed man and wife ! j Yithout tittering a word, or even cx j changing a kiss, Tudor and hi3 wife now lft the magistrate's; but not, however, until she had given him a sovereign for Ids r-ct vices. The couple passed through many ! streets In silence Tudor hardly knowing what he was doing, or what he hnd done, and ccrtniryy ignorant of where be wan go- ing. or what awaited him ; ntd of the j thoughts that occupied his w ife's mind, the ' vender will s-Hiti be able to i;:dge for him self. Turning the comer of a street, Tudor , b'held, a few fids in front of him, a splen did bitikling, towards which his w ife seemed j to direct her footsteps as well as his own. and into which, indeed, they soon entered. : The room into which Tudor was ushered by his wife whs furnished in a style of great inaguiiiccnce. Mie set uim a cliair, telling him to make himself contented for a minute or two, aud then passed into another room. The Si st one, here toadtJress her was Tier unci;?, wltOj on seei;:g her enter tho room, jumped In astonii-hmont from his chair, and, railing her by name, demanded how sue nan escaped worn tier room, anu wnero sue naa oeen. iter oniy answer was . ! Thou fietid in human shape ! I allow yon just, f,ic hour to remove your effects from this house. The actual possession of . my propet ly here you have deprived me of, and vainly thought you had made arrange- , ments by which you could deprive niK of it, 1 through life; but I have fiu-trated your wicked designs. I am now mistress of my own house, for "my husband is how in the fiont room !" ; I r.i'.tt now leave the newly married couple for a short time, for the purpot-o of returniug to the previous history of a very wealthy gentleman, whom I shall designate as Mr. A., not recollecting his actual name, ' nnd, for the same reason, shall give to his daughter the name of Eliza. He had sjiared neither time nor expense in the duration of his daughter, she being the ! only object of his care aud regard, bis wife having ditd when she-was quite young, and before his death, which took place when t-he was fourteen or fifteen years of age, be j had the satisfaction of witnesniug in her one of the most beautiful and accomplished I young ladies of London. A short lime pre- ' vions to his death, an armngcmcr.t tvas en- tcred into between Mr. A. and a brother of his, by which his brother was to have pos session of hid d welling-house, his servants, horbes, carriages and such other property as had been deposited in hanks for the benefit of his daughter, till the time of her marriage, when the possession of thein was to be given tip to her husband. It was ai.o a erudition of the arrangement that, iu case Eliza died without marrying, the prr-perty wr.s to go to her uncle and his family. Immediately after the death of Mr. A., his brother moved into his duelling ; Eliza boarded in his family, and everything went on agreeably for several months, when Eliza discovered in her uncle and his fa in My, the manifestations that she should never marry the reasons for which, from what has already been said, must be obvious to every reader. Unluckily for Eliza she did not discover tho diabolical plot in season to frustrate it in its bud. It was nothing less thau this : To shut her m in one of the rcnlrc rooms iu the third story of lb house ; to pretent her leaving it by keeping the doors and windows strongly bolted ; and to refuse her the company of her as sociates, by telling them, when they called, that the was either at school, or was at roii.o of the shops on business ; or had just stepped out to see a friend ; or had taken a ride into the country for her health, atiJ to see some of her relations, or telling them something else equally destitute of truth. Eliza generally received her meals through a small door in the ceiling, from the hands of her unfeeling aunt, to whom her cries for liberation from her lonely, dismal prison house, were no more effectual than !f tbsy bad been directed to the idle wind. j Throe years was this unfortunate girl j shut out from all communication with tho world, w hen one morning her scanty break fast wis carried to her by an old femalo ' servant of her father. Eliza, once more " discovering tho face of her old friend and servant Juan, burst into tears and attempted ' several times to speak, but was unable to. , Juan well understood the meaning of thope incoherent sobbing", and said, herself al- t most unable to epeak from emotion : j "Hush, hush, Eliza ; Mistress Tpcnkritit ; I understand all. Tour tyrant aunt was taken suddenly ill last night, and the doc- j tor says it is doubtful whether she long survives. I will see-you again at noon aud , at evtuing. Some of our old servants have long been planning means for escape, j and are now in hopes of effecting it." And without waiting for Eliza's thanks ' and blessings, she tripped down stairs. ! "What?" she said to herself, "is it possible that I am to be delivered from j this vile place of confinement? Is it pes- ! sible. that all connected with this establish- ! ment my ow'.i establishment do possess beat ts of adamant ? God speed thee, Juan, 1 and thy associates, in thy work of lcvou;d merc!" j It ia iuu.eccssary to detail all the nii'itT- j tia of the scheme for Eliza's escaj, and ' the several interviews held between her and Juan for the three days she supplied ! Eliza with her meals. Suffice it to eay, ' that on the evening of the fourth day after ! the interview, Eliza was furnished with an instrument, to unbar the window, and was promised a rope ladder the following even- 1 ing to effect her descent from one of the windows in the room adjoining ; but hav ing loosened the bars of the window the same evening the instrument for that pur pose was put into her hands, she deter mined not to wait till the evening for the promised ladder, not knowing but the plot of the servants mightbe discovered by her j uncle, or some of his children ; and she j accordingly vent to vvoik making a rope j (if so "it may be called) from her bed clot lies, ; by tearing them into strips and tying them together. After a few hours' labor, she completed her rope, but fearing it might ! 'not be strong enough to support her, it j was somo titno before she dated to attempt ! a descent. But ptefvrting death to a : longer confinement, and fearing that she ' might be detected, fehe resolved to make i the attempt, resigning her fato into the i bonds of Ilim who is the nrtibati's friend. I She did make the attempt, aud was success ful 1 Yes, she was now liberated from a prison in hor own bruise where, 'for ..(i)tJ)y la(.re's she had been con- fined by her own uncle and once more breathed the pure air of freedom. This was about daylight. She immediately bent her steps towards the wharf, where the B(ston vessel lay, and from that periinl in bvr life till she ushered her husband into her own house, the reader has already an acco-.int of. Tho surpiistd and horror-stricken uncle stood in mute astonishment for some mo ments, after being informed by Eliza of her maniagc. She again repeated the de mand, "Leave my house in an hour, thou nionsldr V and then returned to her hus band, where the promised explanation Was made. The nmar-emcnt of T-ulor, and thetrans poits ot his wife at this st-dden change in their fortunes and conditions, tnayposb'bly j be conceived, but they certainly cannot be j expressed 1 Br ing incompetent to (lie task, 1 will not attempt to describe the scenes that successively lollowd the embraces of that happy rouple, and I ho kisses exchang ed toe joy of the faithful servants at see ing their young miftress once more net at liberty the chagrin, mortification and e- j cT:pTr.cr.t cf the Inhr.man uncle nnd his family, the parties (hat were given by Mrs. Tudor, as well as those attended by her and her husband, their many pleasant rides into the country, &c, &3. One pleasaut morning, four or fire nays afier their ruauia-ga, -Le attention cf the j ofScer3 and hands bclongi.ig tt the Boston vossel were directed to a splendid carriage drawn by two cream colored horses, richly caparisoned, which was approaching the whsrf.and in a few moment halted immedi ately in front of the vessel. The di i verdi monnted the box, and let down the steps 'of tho carriage ; a gentleman, gnrceously dressed, stepped out, and assisted a lady with corresponding habiliments to alfght. Tbcy then stepped on board the vessel, when the gentleman asked the captain what port ho was from, how many days he was pei forming the passage, wheu he in tended to return ; and receiving appropri ate answers to the same, asked leave to ex amine the cabins and the other r.ccommo djtionsoftho vessel, (all the while avoid ing, as far as possible, the ncrutiny of the captain), which wasArery courteously shown him. He then observed that ho and his lady had some thoughts of starting for America, and in cafe they should do so, asm red the captain they would take passage, with bim. They then left the oabin, but befort leaving the vessel the gentleman j turned to the captain aud said, ' Captain (calling bim by name.) before lea v- ing your vessel permit me to make you ne- quaintcd with Mrs. Tudor." ! It was not till this moment the captain t and those around him recognised in the i elegant dressed gentleman their old friend i T udor, the cooper 1 They ritpposed some ead, if not fatal, accident had befallen him, Tho remttiuderof my important sketch is soon told. Tudor distributed his wages coming to him among his old associates, bade them gxd-hye, but not, however, un til he had exacled a promise from the cap tain and crew to call as often as convenient upon bim before sai'ing, left the ve;l, en tered his carriage and was driven to his.own d oor. J Tudor and his wife livcd through life upon the most amicable teims ; were blessed with prosperity and an obedient and respected circle of children. Some years afier his many ing he returned, ac companied by his wife, to his native place, Hosti n, where bo built Iwoerthree fharvcR that bear his name to this day. They af terwards returned to Eond"n, where tbey died as they lived since their union, honor ed and respected by all who enjoyed their acquaintance. E. Indians After an Honest Jinn. Indians may be treachercr.s, but they oau be honest ; and who shall say how far the dinhoncsty of others has led to their treachery? They know wheu tl.ey are cheated, as our Government has found to its cust. Au old trader, who has established him self at what happened to be a favorable : locality among the Northern Indians, tells ; a good story of his first trials with his red : customers. Other traders had located in ; that same place b;fore, but had not re , niaiued long. The Indians, who evidently wanted goods, and bad money and furs, Hocked about the store of the new tiaJer, and carefully examined his goods, but of- j I fered to pay nothing. Einally their chief, j j with a large number of his tribe, visited I ; him. I ! "How do, John ?" said the chief. ; ; "Show me goods. Aha, I tske thnt blanket ! . for me, and that calico for squaw three ! i otter skins for blanket, and ono for calico, j t I'gh ! pay you by'm by to morrow."' j He received hi goods and left. On the ' next day lie returned with a large part of , his band, bis blanket well stutled with ' skins of various kinds. "Now, Jo.m, 1 pay. ' j And with this he drew an otter skin from his blanket and laid it on the counter, j Then he drew a second, a third, and a ' fourth. A moment's hesitation, as though ', calculating, and he drew out a fifth skin ' a very rich and rare one and passed it over. 1 "That's right, John." I Tho trader instantly pp.fhed back the last skin, with j "You owe me but fjur. I want only my ' just dues."' i The chief refused to take it, and thry j passed it several times bark and forth, j each one asserting that it belonged to the othor. At length the dn.sky chieftain ap- ! pcared to be 'satisfied. He gave the trader a scrutinizing look, and then pot the fckin . back into bis blanket. Thnn he stepped to the door and gave a jell, and cried out l'j his followers : 'Corne ; come and trade with the pal 1 face, John Ho no cheat ludiai his heart big." Then turning back to the trader, he said: "Supposo you take last skin, I tell my people no trade with you. We diive yen off like a dog, as tie drive r.ff others ; but now yo.t Indian's friend, and we leyotrs." Before dark the tinder was waist deep in furs, and leaded down with cash. I la found that honesty bad a commercial value with these Indians. Why Prhstdknt Dccuasn Remained a Bachelor.

Early in tho morning as the duke wai taking a walk in a very common drct-:s, h saw a boy trying in rain ti drivo the cor to his residence. The cow was very unmly, and (he uor boy could uot get on with her at all. The boy not knowing the duko bawkd out to him iu broad-Scotch ac cent, "II io. mum, cr.'tn? here, and hand wi this beast." g:e'B a Th duke walked slowly on, not sermlr g t i n-t'ee the b.-iy, who still kept calling f r help. At last, finding that ho could not get on with the cow, he cried out in dis tress: "Come here, mnm, and help ns. and as sure as ant thing I'd ?tV yr ht'F I 7.." The duke went and lent a helping hand. "And now," said the dn'-to, as they trudged along after tho row, "how much do you think you will ge for the job?" "I dinna Ue:i," said the boy, "but I'm sure o something, for the folks nt -he big house are guid to a' bodies." As they came to a lane near the house, the duke slipped away from the boy' and entered by a different way. Caliiug his butler lie put a sovereign in his hand, saying. "Give that to the boy who has brought the cot." He then returned to the ersd of tho l-ir where ho parted frm the boy, r.o as tJ inept him on his way back. "Well, how much did yoa get?" asked the duke. "A shilling," said the boy, "and there's the half o it to ye." "But surely yon had more than a shil ling?" said the duke. "No," said the boy, "sure that's a' I got ; aird d'ye no think it's p'enty ?" 'I do not," said the duke : 'there must be some mistake ; and as I am acquainted with the duke, if you return, I think I'll get you more." They went back, the duke rang the bell, and ordered all the servants to be assem bled. "Now." said the d'ike to the boy, "point me out the person who gave you the shil ling." "It was that chap there w ith the apron," said he, pointing to the butler. The butler fell on his knees, confessed his fault, begged to be foi given ; but th duke indignantly otderrd him to git' the boy the sovereign aad quit his se-.vicf im mediately. "Yon have lost," said Le, "your mo':ey, your situation, and your character by your derail fulness : learn for '.he futnro that honr;y ir the best jhhv." The boy now found out who it was that hrlped him to drive the cow ; and theduk wis so pleased with the manliness and honerty of the boy, that he sent him to school and provided fur hlui at Lis own expense.
