This pnsseo;sr
was a lady there
was an air of uomislakabl ladyhood
about bur which told him that. He
. . .
noticed particularly the daiuily glavcd
hand aad well fitting b.tots.
Her graceful form Indicate J that
oho was both young and pretty, but
he could not tee her fuco on account
of the eovious veil that hid it.
But soon as sbo got otuf'ortatly
settled in the coruor to whieli Russdl
assisted her sha throw it back, disclos
ing a fair sweet fneo, lighted by a pair
of wondcrously bright black eyes
which ahot a swift bewildering glance
into his, that wcro io intouily regard
mg hor.
Tho eudden itartiog of the coach,
which soot some of tho ladie's ptrelc
from tbe seat to tbo floor, gave Rus
sell an opportunity of speaking, as he
returoed tbent, of which be was not
slow to tak;o advaotogo.
From this they foil easily iato con
versation; and it was curious how so-
oiablo they become.
They talkod oflhi beautiful seen-
ory through which they wero passing ;
of tho newest books and lalefct maga
zines, sjmo of wbloh lluisall bad with
him.
The lady inwardly thought bor
Companion to be tbe most entertaining
and agreeable man sho over mot with.
And as for Russoll, he otton I ost the
thread of bis discourse in admiring the
red, dimpled lips, aod the poarly teeth
they diiolosed wbeoever she spoke or
an) i led.
Certain it is, his four hours' ride
from P to Dighton, were the
shortest four hour he had ever known
in his life.
" Wbero do you want lo bo left,

entered the village.

" And Charley Hunt ia my most par

The paue that followed Jeanio'e

ho in resoonso to a tneon!ni "lance
from bis wife, said :
" Itu Mi l Bi n in. In Introduce In
you your cousin Jennie; Miss Char!-
ton.-your totsiu, Rus'ell Wilier.''
Tho ewbarasamcnt which followed
tho blank astouisbmont ioto which
this nouoancumeut threw the parties
so unexpectedly made known to each
other, was quickly dispelled by the
turn that was given it by thoir host
and hostefs.
" I suppoe you'll want to book
yourself on tbo next stago?'' said Mr.
Hunt, shyly to Russell, who had
toco taken into his friend's cot.C -
dence.
"And you." saiJ his wife, tnrnin
to Jcnnio, " I don't suppose anything
could tempt you to remain, now that
you have seen that baleful disagree

crimsoniog as she remembered bet
words.
"Well, I won't then. But you
must let me laugh ! Just to think of
both ruoning in tbo same direction,

Tbe ringlog laugh that burst from
Nellie's lips were toe contagious to be.
resisted, even by those at whose ex -
pens it was raised.
Tbia merriment was followed by a
geooral good feeliog. and a pleusanter
toa party oover gathered around a
social board.
We nred hardly to say that Russell
did not take the stage next morning,
nor did Jcnnio seem at all disposed
to cut short hor visit on account of ber
cousin's unexpected appearanoo.
When tbsy did go, they went as
they catne, together.
Mr. Wilder' astonishment was oaly
equaled by bis delight, on looking
oot of tbe window to see tbe twowulk-
ing np tbe path toward the bouse
arm in arm, and apparently on tho
best terms.
Aa for Russoll and Jonole, thoy
soemed to regard the unexpocted
meeting as an indication of tbelr
" mabifest destiny," accepting it a
such, much to the joy of their uncle,
whose dsrl ing wish waa apcompliihed

I moro'ioe of the 20th of July, 1815
Tho fire originated in a sperm oil store
io New street, near the corner of Ex-

a great part of tbo territory which bad
been the sceno of the conflagration of
1833. Tbo flames wcro commuoica-

ucarer lo tbe corner of KxchsoRO place
wbcoee tbey passed along Exchange
place to 13ros d itrccl. There they
enwrapped a. building in which
was a quantity of saltpetre, or gun
powder, op storage. When the buil
ding bad been burning for about fit
teen nil nates a most awful explosion
took plaee which shook tho city like an
earthquake. Tbe building was blown
op, sod with it some othor buildings,
immediately after tho explorion fire
was discovered io four different pla
ces, and shorlly tho rear of the en.
tin block was blaxiog. . Soon the fire
left pod to th soub side of Iiroad
stroot. passing at tho same liaio to
Broadway. On Rrosdway they spread
downward toward the Bowling Oreen,
and on Broad eireet north towards
Wall street and south to Beaver street
sloeg which tbey passed to Now

devastated. Bolb fides of tbo Ex
