Certainly, certainly." " You see, when Mr. Winslow first be gan his attentions to me, I wiisn't at all pleased. He was handsome. I knew, but I had set my mind, very foolishly, upon having a rich husband. and one that cu'd keep me shine the necessities of work.— 'u I slighted and repulsed him on all oc: easions. treating him not merely with in difference, but with actual loathing ana scorn. Such treatment one might have supposed, would have quickly obliterated his passion ; on the cattrary, however, It only seemed to increase it, About this time I formed the nconain tance of a city gentleman, whom rumor reported immensely rich, and whose in- - ten e selfishness was veiled beneath a manner of the utmost suavity. His at tentions tome were marked, and not to lie mtstakeis—and though he had not spAen of love, he looked and ac!cd it and lidieved bins. It was in October I think, the atmos phere was dry and co d, with night winds —m hen, as we were returning from a party, late ut night, I was surprised and shot.k.d by the appearance in the distance t.f a deep red light that seemed to climb the sky and quench the very aqua.

With one wild shriek I called the atten [ion of the crowd to her situation. Hun dreds of peoph: by this time had collect ed, thouffh chiefly, as it seemed, for the grattfie.ition of their curiosity.

Is it necessary to tell who it Was that thus rescued my mother? what emotions I experienced upon hennnghow deeply I was indebted to the man I had despised'? It is necessary far me to tell you, howev er, that there andithen be.furever lost the good looks whieti you admire in that por trait.
