On the Bth of May our voyage was re commenced, Godhaven and Upernivik visited Melville Bay, entered early iti June, and crossed to Cape.

Then Mrs. Waite, the charming, dashing, irresistable young widow had resolved to bear off the prize. True, she was a little older than Mr. Seymour, but what was a few years! The volumes 'of experience she had gained in the ways 4 the world, would enable her to make him the better wife. Neither was she blind to Miss Bella Ashley's pretensions, and 'demolished them, to herself, in a 'summary manner, never dreaming indeed that another woman would effectually extinguish hers. - Of all this honor Mr. Seymour was pro foundly ignorant. Ile bad kept his secret the better because no one in Thornbury knew. the residence of hie affianced, although he had informeaMrs. Bentley, requesting her not to speak of it. until his,,returit. He felt, no hesitation in bringing his wife to dwelliu the house where ballad spent so many pleasant years, especially as in a few months he was. to take possession of a house he bad recently purcha-ed, where they were to make their first essay in housekeeping: The little woman who bad broken up so many happy alliances. was, an orphan, and had been adopted into her uncle's family, of great rollicking boys, who petted, wised ; and played with her as if she had been a kitten; but•her own good sense and the judicious counsel of her aunt, kept her from being spoiled. - Evety summer, Wilson Seymour, who had been at school with some of - her old er cotisios, came to join their sports, add shake off the year's toil in pleasant rambles through the woods, and reveries by the river aide, ip which he sometimes became so absoi bed as to forget to fish.

Iler parlor and bed-room`oecupied much of her time and attention, and her evsn logs were devoted to her -husband, foiin the simplicity of her newly wedded life, she seem ed to consider him the exclusive object of her love. Perhaps if he kola-mingled more with the boarders, they would soon have found how impossible it was not to lDve -her. Each lady, however, wisely kept her former 'Views to herself, though all pronounced the marrigae unsuitable, and put down the young Wife pa a childish little flirt, for she was but eighteen. Yet they could not deny her man , ners were refined and lady-like or her educa tion and _accomplishments at all neglected ; and though they could not agree about her beauty' no one ventured to pronounce her plain, or even ordinary looting. Mr. &Yamr always took his breakfast at the first table, and as but few were present, Mrs. Seymour's curl papers, covered as they were by a drooping black lace head-dress, were not noticed at all. Her husband could not refrain from laughing a little at her, is he gave her his morning parting kiss.' After she had put her rooms in order, she began to takedown her curls, and training them over her fingers, shook them 'out with the old saucy toss, of her dainty little bead. She could not tsfrain from .smiling - at the transformation, and allowed herself tat she did look prettier and youlter with these obi uing curls falling about, her shoulders. Then she awaited her husband's return anxiously. - There, you look quite like old times, and recall to mind the bewitching little fairy I fell in love with-," was his salutaticip on enter ing the 'room. "But I look so like a child I" and she pout ed her rosy lips the least- trifle. "Well, I don't want you to be old, and grave, just yet. There'll be time enough for that." The Avoner bell rang, and they. obeyed its autumnal: , Mrs. Seymour felt a little tiaramfortable at the attention she attracted, in truth her curls fairly took every one by surprise.
