SUDDEN CHANGE OF FORTUNE.
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.

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.

A STOJiY TOJi 11111 TIMES.
One day tha Duke of P.uec'eueh, a
Scotch nobleman, bought a cow iu the
neighborhood of Dalkeith, where he lived.
The cow was to bo sent home the next
day. 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. Kurl Day.
