MY IMRIAGE
on,:
The Dreadful Widow.
I was making' my way through. a
crowd in a by street which h soppos
e& had collected for the contempla
tkm and enjoyment of some trifling
and Contemptible disturbance,' hut in
to which at the time 1 was not in a
mood to inquire, When, my course
was arrested by a - pair of beautiful
black eyes' under a lady's veil, which
met mine with a mute appeal that
could not for a moment resist.
"What is the matter ?" I de
manded of the possessor of the black
eyes.
A remarkably sweet voice replied,
"I have ventured to interfere in be
half of a child I saw the people abus
ing,'but I am afraid'that, without
some assistance my effort. will be
unavailing:
"%'c wasn't !abusing it," critd s6v..

was only fighting with . little Mike,
and she'd a got the - best of him, tOo,
if ye'd-let her alpne" ' •

With spirit, her splendid eyes flashing
as she spoke, "that your sex should
disgrace itself in this way. I shall
not allow mine, especially such a lit
tle creature as this, to make a savage
brute of itself, if I.can help it"
"You are right madam, , I said.—
"The man who would see your sex
dragged into the prize ring must
have little respect for his own moth
er. You are Quixotic, however, to
assume the duties ofthis
,child's nat
ural protector. Where. are its pa
rents ?"
"Dead," cried phe three other
roe_ in chorus. 1 . • . : .
"Where—bow: does this girl
live then ?"
"She:lives with Miss Vennjr,
and does errands for yer"
. . .
"What _sort of a
.person is.. this ?"
inquired the 'dark eyed lay . •
"She dresses,finer than you do,
ma'am," replied.. one of the female.
bystanders,- "but she is . not :exactly
the, person to bring up a child in the
way it should go, as she has strayed a
long .way out herself?'
. The pointed truthfulness of this
remark raised a laugh, 'among the ac
quaintances of Liss Fanny Flink.
The lady in the meantime,iha.d not
let go-her hold on the half-clad, sturdy
little girl, whose -. face was flushed
with passion, and discolored with
blood., dirt and tears. Stle stooped
down to her, raising her veil and
said—" Little, one, if you will go with
me I'll find you . , a good, home. You
shall have nice clothes, enough to
eat, and be taught to read and write.
What' do you say ?"'
,•
The sweetness and beauty of the
lady's race Ifni-prised Mel the child
seemed quite..overpowered by 'her
gentle influence,. and. replied, "Yes
ma'am • 1 go: with you .anYL
where."
• At this,conjuncture' a policeman
arrived on the spot, and the lady at
once addressed herself to him, ex.
plainipe• the case, and shortly after
-I,vards,t7he walked away leading her
little charge, escorted by the guardi
an of .the peace. Although much
pressed for time I lingered to look af 7
ter her till she had "turned the cor
ner ; for I never :had seen a face
Which was half so lovely. as "hers, and
it haunted me ever after: '
I had, however, at that time, too
many troubles of my own to afford
time to look after those of pthers. , --
A. very long and em)ensivO law suit
bad exhausted tho' once handsome
fortane that had long kept my fami
ly in so enviable a position, and left
me nothing but fallacious hopes and
illusive expectations. My father died
during the slow progress of the liti
gation ;: the lawyers who had coui
meneedi and so long conducted it also
died before its conelusion and it ap
peared too prObable that my mother,
too, would pass away without the
satisfaction of knowing:that so' much
money, thought, ankietyitod, suspense
had not been entirely thrown away.
She was very ill; and I foresaw
with certainty that the. slender
_thread which held her to this life

would snap, if the final decision in
our cause, which it was believed
would soon be rendered, should be
against us'; for it' .would necessitate
the sale of all that remained- to.ns,
and leave us little .better than beg
gars. It was our last stake, upon
which all our hopes and confidence
had- gradually . concentrated;: and if
that were lost we bad nothing more
to lose—nothing but blank despair to
encounter, which we durst not antici=
pate. ..
The lawyer, who, at the time, con
ducted our suit; was an old friend of
nay fatber's—saccesiful, rich, inde
pendent, and surly ; and as he had .
undertaken the case more from
friendly than pecuniary - motives, did
not attempt .'to disguise. the truth
and probabilities from me. But
coulduot look forward: to anything
but triumph, and chose rather to re-,
gard discouragingtoneawone of
the mearis.he employad to enhance
the value of:his services in: achieving*
success: lie Was a good Mali' at

at lasOn a garret, dying of consump
tion., Aind whpm should. Itrftud,, sit
ting like" a ministering angel at.her
bedside, but the beautiful black eyed
lady whom I had: lately: met, the
companion of the little orphan girl 1"
"It is in such places as, this, where
a good angel is most needed, and not
in the circles of gayety and fashion,
that I must seek you, I see," exclaim
ed I gazing upon her with irrepressi
ble •admiration.
The lady bjushecf deeply;; apd,, as
soon as she had re-covered. frorn. her
momentary confusion; observed quiet
ly, that she was simply performing a
duty to which an old - friend ofler
mother's was fully entitled.
While obtaining the deposition of
her patient I. had several opportAni
ties of conversing with this-excellent
beauty; and her - modest elegance
and graceful ease captivated- my
soul.
One evening I was permitted to
accompany her in search Of , a con
veyance.; and, as I bad resolved to
express..my sentiments freely. to her
on the first available occadion, I was,
as is usual in such cases, much ern
barrassed when it presented itself
"Your patient is dying; I fear."
"She is conscious of the _approach
of deliverance ; and such she regards
it."

"Do not flatter me, sir. It is but

"I assure yowl express my admi

to tell you all I think and feel I
might indeed surprise you."
"Then let me entreat you for your
forbearance." -
,
"It is unkind, not to say barsh r in
you to forbid tlic utterances -of a
heart so sincere and full as mine."
"It is my -kindness, my considera
tion, for you, that induce me to ebeck
this excessive language because
know you will repent it."
• "impossible I not only admire
you: more than any being Lever saw,
but I feel: that.yeu are worthy of my

"Do not ask. Here let our ac
quaintance cease. You have no

and you surely-would not -deprive
her of the presence of her last re
maining friend,•as you-will do' if you
persist in intruding upon her. Here
, then let us part and forever."
_She stopped a cab;- allowing me-to
_help her into it, and left me in my
mystery and glooin. She had cross
ed my dark path like a heavenly ap
paration, and her disappearance ren
dered everything about me hopeless
and dreary as despair.
The treacherous law, after having
-lured us. on to ruin, decided against
our claim's, and extorted. the last
remnant of our property to pay its
costs. To communicate this fact to
my mother, would have been like. in
flieting her death blow,. and after
meditating long upon the subject, I
found' myself unequal to the painful
task ; I went once more to our old
lawyer to ascertain whether there
was no possibility of compromising
the matter, so as to postpone the evil
day, and leave my mother awhile in
possession of her home and com
forts.
I met a lady descending thastairs;
who had just come out of his office,
whose physiognomy was of that un
usually repulsive character which irn-.
prints itself indellibly on_ the meino
ry, and ever after, in dreams and
reveries, in sleep and in:wakefulness,
rises from time to time to our mental
vissidn with horrible distinctness ;
shocking us with the. fullest sense of
the dread ugliness of.human -malfor
mation- I thought 'of the wonder
ful contrast between this . creature
and the delicate- beauty i loved in .

The old lawyer was in and grasp

ality.. I stated the object of my
:visit.

"Well, my young friend," said he,
"I have anticipated your wishes, and

left: You kave lost all. If she ac

a donation—nothing more or less."
"Is there Do resource left by which

"Vuderstand th'atl havn't urged

The old lawyer, turned his chair
round, and - commenced writing at his
desk as -coolly as if - he had been an in
genious, machine i evented :for no oth
ertpurpose.. I thought on his' propo
sition till I grew sick andlaint. The
recollection of theconsummatecharnis
of her I loved added a horror to the
aspect of . hate, such as -she wore

and Loduld net bring ray heart and
lips to-say yes.to i such a destitly.—r-
At, last I rose and said,
"I' will call to morrow. and give you
my decision."
"Very-well," replied the- old man,
without :turning his head or ceasing
to write. • '
I went home and atten:iptedAo pre
pare-m-y.nrcytherfor the rfiln''tliat had
befallen us : but in approaching the
subject, found that it was-more than
she could endure, and relinquished
the effort in despair. To my sister I
ventured to tell the truth;and she
wept bitterly, not for hersef, but for
our only parent, who she assured me
wonid inevitably expire on hearing
the news.
"Is there nothing on earth that you
can, do, Edward, tn, prevent this ?"
rv•~~~Yes f
"And wont you do it ?"
"I. cannot bring rny - mind to it ?"
"It is dishonest ?"
"N—o, I don't know that it is, but
very repugnant to my feelings."
. "I am sure I would do anythingfor
mihrlma."
g'Would you marry the man you
abhor." •
"To save mamma's life—yes."
"Well, then,l will not_be outdone
by you in, filial affection."
"What do you mean, - Edward ?"
"I will tell you to-morrow. In the
meantime cheer up - . I will save our
mother and you, , but at a. great sacri
fice—Heaven only know how great."
My sister flung her arms around
m y neck, kissed me affectionately,
called me by many endearing names,
and I felt as if I almost deserved them,
exaggerated as they were.
I communicated my decision to
my lawyer the next day, telling him
that since I could not marry for love
I would marry for hate.
He uttered a sort of grunt, and re
plied :
• "Few marriages begin in that way;
but with too man, love is merged tin
antipathy as soon as the honeymoon
is well over. Your prospect of con
nubial happiness is the brighter, as
it cannot change but for the better.
If you knew the lady as well as 1 do,
you would entertain no misgivings
on the subject."
On the second day after this inter
view I received Mrs. Barrington's card
and a written request from my law
yer that I should call upon her with
out delay, as hc had settled the pre
liminaries in the most satisfactory
manner. I did not fly on the wings
of love to the stately mansion of my
bride elect, as there bad been little
choice in the matter, but walked
thither like a man who bad volun
teered to be hanged . .
On my arrival - I was ushered into
a handsome drawing-room, in which
I was kept waiting for about a quar
ter of an hour ' when, at last the lady
appeared. She did not look hand
somer than when I met her on the
stairs, loading to the lawyer's office.
On the contrary, the' relation in
whieh,she now stood with respect to
myself, and the finery she had piled
upon her person, rendered her, in my
eyes, more hideous than ever.
I responded to her salutation, and
remained silent for a few moments.
She appeared desirous of manifesting
- a certain measure of maidenly coy
ness; and I was not indisposed "to al
low her all the leisure she required
for the performance of her part.—

of a dying screech-owl, that made we
shudder.
"Well, Mr. Ingleton, the object of

"Yes, madam, it isms you shy, to
propose for your band and heart ;
they are conventionally supposed to
go together—" - •
-"My hand and heart l" she ex
claimed, laughing.
"What a laugh it was ! A ruined
hurdy-gurdy, a maniac's scream, and
the serenade of a starving eat cow
tined were music to it.
"Yes madam ; and does this appear
so absurd to yon ''
"Extravagentl?'l3o."
"My lawyer has been authorized
by me to make a proposition, which
he has given me to understand, has
been favorably received. Has he de
ceived me ?" , •
"Not at all • but you: have made a
slighV.miSfike in the person."
"Are yon;tiot Mrs. Barrington ?"
"That is thy name ; but I presume
you refer to my niece.". .
"Thisis, very ridiculous . Shall I
havee the pleasure of seeing the right
lady ? --
"In a moment. She sent me to pre
pare. you for her coming."
"I do not see the necessity."
"r presume not. I will explain, al
though the subject is'a delicate one
to handle. A better-hearted girl
than my niece Clara never lived, bat
she has setae personal defects`whieb,
perhaps, only the eyes of affection
can overlook. I' mean to say for in
stance, that she does not enjoy the
same personal advantages as myself."
.I looked at the ,speaker for a mo
ment in ainazement, and - an.inirolunL
tardy groan escaped my lips.
"It catinotgie possible ! Is she de
formed ?"
"Oh, so.; she is as perfectly shap
ed as I aim."
"Indeed ?
What lilt then:"
-"A slight obliquity of vision, which
adds a puzzling and peculiar,expres
sion to -the eves. Her hair is of col

merited prejudice ; but, for 'myself, I
never saw a finer or more brilliant
red. With: these exceptions, there
exists -a - strong family likeness be
tween us, especially as respects the
roundness and height of the shoul
ders, and the size of the feet"
What an image of horror was con
jured up before me.
"Say no more 1"- I exclaimed
wildly,. "This suspense is too dread
ful. Let IM 0 see the woman herself,
though the sight, of her kill me !"
"Then turn and look upon your
deeth 1" cried a sweet voice behind
Ina; in a mock tragic tone, followed
by a silvery ring of laughter.
I turned, and, to my inexpressible
delight, beheld -my adored black-ey.
ed beauty.
And you—you—are------"
"Not Miss Eastburn. That was
my maiden name ; but Clara Barring;
ton, widow."
I fell at her feet, half disposed to
worship her, covered her hand with
kisses, and , finding no resistance of.
fered, sprang to my feet and clasped
her in myarths. - -
"Clara Barrington, will you become

"In what excellent, practice you
are ! We shall' have you proposing

gun bravely, first to the aunt, and
then to the niece within five minutes.

so dangerous a creature. What would

I promise you I shall 'be dreadfully
jealoui of her and the superior per
sonal advantages she enjoys."
"Oh, you have been playing a rare
game with me I" •
"A fair one. I have won your love
fairly, and learnt at the same time
that there was right on your side as
well as on 'mine, and I will be my
own court of equity, and do justice
more even handed than the law."
“May I not praise you now ?”
"No, but you may—"
"Do what ?"
"Love me just as much as you

BELIEVING BUT NOT UNDERSTANDING.
"I will not believe anything but
what I understand," said a self-confi
dent young man in a hotel one day.
"Nor will I," said another,
"Neither will 1," chimed in a third.
"Gentlemen," said one well-known
to me, who was on a journey, and
who sat close by, "do I understand
you correctly, that you will not be
lieve anything that you don't under
stand ?"
"I will not," said one, and so said
each one of the trio.
"Well" said the stranger, "in my
ride thiS morning I saw some geese
in a field eating grass; do you believe
that'?
"Certainly," said the thiee untie.
Hovers.
"I also saw pigs eating grass do
you believe that?"
"Of course," said the three.
"And I also saw sheep and cows
eating grass, do you believe that?"
"Of course," it was again replied.
"Well, but grass which they had
formerly eaten bad, by digestion,
turned to feathers on the backs of
the geese, to bristles on the backs of'
the swine, to wool on the sheep, and
on the cows it bad turned* to hair;
do you believe that gentlemen."
"Certainly," they replied.
"Yes, you believe it," he rejoined,
"but do you understand it ?"
They were confounded, and'silent,
and evidently ashamed, as they well
might be.
