With jo.vons heart i come,
From tbo wild tumult of the world,
To my loved childhood' home ;
I come to spend a fow bright hoar

And view again the pleasant vecrtet
Which memory oft reculi? ;
I come to seek my favorite haunts,
And dream ns once 1 dreamed,
When lifo all love nnd poetry

No shadow then vns on my path ;
My heart was fico from caro :
Tho f kics were blue and rainbow od

How grateful to my siytil appears

Cn lire's f.i!r, sunny spring ;
Tho dear birds to know me vrt,
They sing ns wild and free
As on that bright morn long ego,
When lust they sang for me.
The little streamlet warbles still,
And makes tho oirad rejoice ;
The dancing brec?e from o'er the lea
Has tho sumo woiru-liko voice ;
And e'en tho trees arouud this home,
A grand old company !
Nod gracefully their half crew tied lienda
As if to welcome me.

Twelve months more tnssed away, r.nd !iin'
j ma, Carnagie's strnngo plans wcru bearing
fruit. M r. Carnagio had lost no time. I lie
very ship which had brought home Susan had
also brought certain instructions from Mr.
Curnagie to his solicitor, and he had followed
them ktcr. An action was forth with com
menced ogainst Captain Chard "Cumngie
vs. Chard." It was undefended on tho trial,
und judgment and damages were suffered to
go by defaur.. Then came the proceedings
before tho Hou6D of Lords, nnd in the curly
spring, seventeen mouths alter her departure
from her husband's home, Mrs. Carnugio was
pronounced to have forfeited all claims to his
name forever. During tho proceedings Mrs.
Carmigie had resided with one of her brothers
for Ursula had been bitter, unforgiving a jd
veheoient.
Ue!Tore the divorre was Cnally procourced,
Susan and L'rsuU werejuvited to spend some
time with an need relutivo in Wales.
They accepted it readily, glado be away from j
their owu neighborhood for a while. Ursula, I
wus wont to declare, every time sl.o went
out, that tho people "looked at her " us to re
mind her that the was the sister of Mrs. Car
nugie. They were away three months, und
thechief chango which tin y found on their re
turn was that the rector had obtuined a six
months, le..To of absence, at:d a stranger was
residing in the rectory and olDci'iting for him.
On the following day Sunday they went
to church as usual. The new clergyman had
just ascenueu to me reaiuiig-uean. oumu
loosed ul uim J sue ruuueu nor eye unu iuu-
again : it wus surely Mr. Leicestur, whom she
had left in Uarbadoes ! Aud now their gaze
met, and there was no mistake.
I like him very much," ciied Ursula, allu
ding to the new clergyman, as they wero walk
ing home from church ufter service. "I won
der who bo is."
"I can tell you," said Susan. "Mr. Leices
ter. I know bim, Uisula."
"Yrou I Where have you known him '("
"Iu Burbadoes ; he bad a church there.
It was to his house 1 was removed from Mr.
Carnagie's You havn forgotten the name,
perhaps. It was his sister, Mrs. Freeman,
who uursed me through the fever. They
were very kind to me, und 1 um under great
obligations to them."
"Is ho married, this Mr. Leicester 1"
"No at least be was not then."
"There was a lady in the parsouugo pew."
A quick stop behind them a step husan
thought sbo remembered aud she turned
round to find bur hand tukeu by Mr. Leices
ter, a tall, lino man, with an inlollectual coun
tenance What, with old rccollectious, and
perhaps couscious present feelings, Susaa Cult
that ber fuce became one crimson glow, us he
held hor bund and looked into it.
"My sistnr Ursula," slu said, turning it
away. "I do not know wbeu 1 have been so
much surprised as to day. Mr. Leicester."
To see ma ofBoialiujr in jour own parish,"
bs laughed, "when you left ue far away out
go very long ago I
MUvn vou come over oo leave of absence!
"X bave come for good. My health lias

Wbu tbev srrived at tbt-ir bcuf, b "
tered with them. Ursula went np stairs to
take oQ' her things. Susan remained in the
drawing. loom with Mr. Leicester.
"May I inquire nrter your sister?" he said,
in a low tone.
"She is just married again. They wero
married on the instant tho divorce was ob
tained. Ynu must have heard that among
onr friends herp, for 1 mako ho doubt they
have been full of it.
"Yes, It has been a prolific topic," replied
Mr. Leicester. "Tho marriage was tilso in
tho newspapers."
"Iu every nowspnper in tho United King
dom, I think," resumed Susan, her tone be
traying her vexation. "All possible publici
ty that could bo given to it, Captain and
Mrs. Chard gave. They sent out cards nnd
cake to every family they knew."
"They are traveling, are they not ?"
"They liavo goce to Germany, 1 believe;
but wo bnvo held no communication with
themselves. My sister L'rbula resents Em
mas couduct deeply.'
"Itut if Mro. Carnogio is to be believed,
there was little to resent. So the neighbor
hood here say "
"I think .slio is lo be believed ; indeed,
there appears no dotibl of it. Hut wo feel
thut, even as. its best, ribe has brought great
di?"iaco Into the familv, and Urrula will nev-
c r foiget or forgive it."
"Mr. Carnagic is also aooui to marry
ngnin."
Is ho?" exclaimed Susan.
"You remember Ihosc weulthy planters on
that largo estate a few miles oil' liatbadoes;"
"Yes tho France estate, you meant''
"llo is going to marry Miss France."
"U hy, she wus half cast I" uttered Susou,
after a pause of amazement.
Mr. Leicester nodded "It hns caused n
good deal of surprise in IJarbadocs. She will
have a large foiiiine.
! "It was said she was very cruel," observed
; Susan, "and would beat her slaves with her
j own hand !"
I "And 1 know that to he true," said Mr.
i Leicester. "However, Mr. Carnogio is to
nuirry her. He was only waiting fur the di
j vorce."
I "1 heartily wish him more happiness than
I iu his last marriage," said Susan.
"Fid you see Mr. Curnagie when he was in
j England V
I "Yes ; ho catno hero just a passing visit,"
! answered Susan. "I was ulad when he went
i back. I was always fearing that
when ho
; and Captain Chard might meet. Mr. Ciirna
I gie came over intending to challenge him ;
i but his lawyers told bim that if ho tec k the
law into his own hands he would not get the
i divorce. I suppose they only said it to pre-
vent bloodshed. How is Mrs Freeman?
; Did she coma home with yon ?"'
'No; Fhe remains. in ltaibadces. She is
i Mrs. (irapc now 1 have au elder sisterstay
j ing hero with rue Miss Leicester."
"Foyou like the neighborhood '(''
j "Not so well us I had anticipated. I shall
! like it better, now that 1 have un old friend
I in it," he added with a smile. And Susan's
I color deepened again, for which she could
have boxed her own ears.
The time went on. The neighborhood, to
whom Frances Maitland's flirting propensi
ties wire nothing new, grew into tho habit of
joking her about Mr. Leicester. She I'os
nothing loth. Anxious as she was to be
married and as it was well-known she was;
often ns slio had striven to accomplish the
desired end by petting her cop (tho popular
phrase) at single men, she bad never set it so
s terufuii.-lv, fur one who had so won nppn her
i regard, ss Mr. Leicester, ond she grew to
! show it too plainly. Frances haunted him
I Oo whero ho would, he met her; in the pork,
in tbo village, among the poor, and in the
vestry of liis church ; for Frances had consti- j
I tuted herself into a palish visiti r, and had f r- j
I ever some question to ask f Mr. I.e'cester. I
hhe was verv handsome, with beaut il ul lea- ;
tures and brilliant dai': eyes, and. like iiniuy
other handsome girls, thought herself irresis
tublo. And yel, with all this, the did not gel on.
No ; do what she would, she did not advance
a bit nearer ber hopo. than, she had been nt
the commencement. Mr. Leicester was. al
ways civil, always polite, often conversed
with her; but still his manner would not be.
troy i deeper interest. "I wonder," thought
rrunco8 lo bersell, 'wleiher be has o?i at- j
tacliment ! Forhups he Las left somebody be
hind in Haibadoes." I
'Yon are wasting your lime," Miss Ash-j
ley abruptly observed to her one hot sum-
n.er8 day, as she came upon Trances, sitting
in the purk.
"What in?'' inquired Frances.
"Ranniug after Mr. Leicester."
Well, Fin sure!
uttered Frances. j
"Whut next? I don't run after him."
"The sun does not shine, does it, Frances?
i'.s not right in onr eyes nt this tv.oment ?"
ironically returned Miss Ashley. "Why,
what are you setting on this bench for now,
but to catch him as he goes by from the cot
tage8? My dear, our perceptive faculties, in
these parts, are uot buried in a wood."
'I dou't caro whether they are buried or
not," ungrily retorted Frances. "I suppose
I may sit the open air on a day when il is too
hot to remain in doors, without having covert
motives imputed to me."
Don't put yourself out. I only say you
are wasting your time, and you ought to be
obliged to mo for telling you, us you can't
see for yourself. 1 think you uru buried in a
wood, Frances, or you would see where Mr.
Leicestci' hopes ore fixed. Love's eyes ure
blind tbey say."
"What do you menu ? Fixed where ?''
"He is nothing to me, so 1 huve cot my
sight about me, and have suspected the truth
3 line timo. I should not wouder but it was
her being here brought him into tb-- place."
"Who? Wno! impatiently rjcroauaea
Frances, stamping bur foot.
"Susan (. buse.
"Susan Cbase 1" repealed Mi.-s Maitland.
What, bas sho to do with Mr. Leicester?"
'Nothing as yet. Hut 1 think it will
come to it. I hey like each othi r.
Frances Maitland turned away her bead.
"How do you know this ?"
"I was speaking to Susan one day about
her having known Mr. Leicaster in Harba
does, and bbu grew confused and red, a she
li'id never growu before but at tbo name of
Mr. Carnugie. Itsut mo woi'deriug. 1 have
watched them siuco, and I fuel sure ho likes
ber. Tbere is a peculiar tone iu his voice
when be speaks to her a grutluucs iu bis
tnanuer whicb he gives to nobody else. Aud
bo is with her often ; bo makes bis health a
plea for avoiding geueral visiting, but be can
p.0 there and speud most or bis evenings.
You bave been wasting your time, Frauces."
"She can't expect to marry, after ber uf
fuirs with Mr. Carnagie," spoke Frances in a
fury "especially Mr. Leicester. Tbe idea
of ber tuking a clergyman 1"
'That's past and gone. Tbe Caroagie af
fair need be do imped mant to ber marrying
another. 1 don't see that it need."
' Dou't youT waj tbe sulky a&8Tr.
flP-I do "
liessy Ashlpy laughed.
"When Susan was engaged to him for years
was wild after bim ! After their wedding
day being Qxed twice over once before he
went to Harbadoes, and threo years after
wards, when ho returned from it, and she lov
ing him all that timo, ond pining after him !
You call that no Impediment ?" persisted
Frances Maitland. "Then 1 Uo I"
"N lot o bit of it. Neither weuld yoo( if yon
were not prejudiced," returned Miss Ashley.
The conversation bad turned Frances Mait
land's blood to gall. Susan Chose to win the
prizo for whicb she had been striving ! Not if
she could prevent it. She sat on, after Miss
Ashley had left her, nourishing her jealousy,
nourishing her resentment, working herself
into a positivo fury.
Presently Mr. Leicester was decerned
crossing the corner of the park. Frances
rcso and met him, nod then turned to pursue
her walk by his side.
"It is n hot day," ho observed.
"So hot that I hoped to cntch a littlo cool
ness strolling about under theso shady trees,
replied 1' ranees, whoso heart was beating
wildly, nnd whoso color went and camo.
She was just iu the mood to let her tongue
commit itself, if she did not mind.
I havecomo from the cottages," said Mr.
Leicester. "Tho poor peoplo havo been
pleased to tell n:c thutthey shall be sorry to
lose me."
"1 dare sav they will. Our rcctcr does
not trouble himself about cottngo people.
Hut yoa nre not going yet, Mr. Leicester?"
"I came for six mouths, and havo been
hero five."
"Hut was there not some hope given to
us that yoti might remain longer V cried
Frances, looking at him, aud speaking quickly.
"We heard so."
"The rector wrote to propose it, and the
bishop would have been agreeable. That
must be what you beard."
"Y'es. Will you not stop ?"
He looked ut'her in turn, and smiled. "I
cannot, if I would though 1 did not know
that until this morning. The post brought
me the welcomo uews that 1 had been ap
pointed to a living, and I must take posses
sion of it cs soon as 1 can be released from
; this."
I Frances Maitland's heart sank frilhin her.
I If he left without speaking, thero would be
good-bye lo her hopes forever.
"What shall wo do without you?" elie
said, buuteringly.
"Nay, what shall I do without you? I
think that Will bo tho real qaestion." Hut
he only spoke generally, nnd Frances knew
it.
"What will Susan Chase do without yoti?"
whispered Frances, unable longer to repress
her bitter jeuluusy. "Deport says that she
will especially miss Mr. Leicester."
"Deport is very kind to say anything so
flattering," was his reply ; and Frances saw
the hot llubli moutt to his brow.
"And that Mr. Leicester will miss Miss
Chase. Is it so?'1 she cried, with all the
vehemence of her iil-regulated nature. Hut
slio was beside herself that day.
"Miss Maitland must pardon me. I do
not seo that I need satisfy gossip on tho score
of my private affairs."
'Y'ou cannot It ve seriou? thoughts of Susan
Cbase," sho continued in agitation. "Or, if
you have, you do not know her previous his
tory." "What is hnr previous history ?" demanded
Mr. Leicester, surprised iuto putting the
linsty question.
"Cusan's love was Wasted long ago ; she
has none left to bestow upon you wasted ou
Lieutenant Carnugie !
"On Lieutenunt Carnagicl" uttered the
i astonished Mr. Leicester. "Her sister's hus
band':"
?ho lovsd him passionately for years. She
was engaged to him, and tiieir wedding-day
was fixed ; and at the last he left her, anil
chose her sister. A woman who has been
betrothed ill that way, and who has no love
left, is not a suitable object for Tour uflection,
Mr. Leicester."
He was evidently absorbed in the story.
"She could not forget him even when he
was Km inn's husband. Slio followed them
to Harbadoes.' When Mrs Carnagie returned
to Lngland, she remained there with him, in
his house. What do you suppose kept her
from returning with her sister but her uncon
querable love for him ? Do you hear it, sir?
She let Fmmu sail without her, and stopped
behind with Mr. Carnegie. Tush!" was tho
scornful epithet, und very scornfully was it
spoken; "Susan Chase is no tit wifn fur the
Keverend Mr. Loicester. .
Frances Maitlutid bad overshot her mark
many do, wheu urged on by ill-nature; and
M r. Leicester's counteuauce brirhtened, end
" smile arose to it
I do not wish to enter iuto Miss Chase's
uffairs with you, Miss Maitland, for 1 huve
not ber permission to do so; but 1 must Eet
you right upon one great point, tho cause of
her not accompanying her sister to Knglaud
was no undue uflection for M r. Carnugie."
"Oh, indeed, you think so !'
'T know it und cun certify to it. Circum
stances over which she had no control com
pelled Miss Chaso to remain in Harbadoes;
bat she remained there under the protection
of my sister, Mrs. Freeniun, and our house
was afterwurda her temporary Lome uotil she
sailed."
"Aro yoa determined not to believe what I
tell you of Mr. Curuagiv ?" pauted Frances.
"1 cannot dispulo your word, that Miss
Chase may have been engaged to Mr. Carna
gio : but it would be impossible for mo to
believe anything to ber real prejudice. She
is a single-hearted, pure minded woman ; and
I speak from intimate observation of ber
conduct."
Furious anger, jealous resentment, rushed
into tho hciirl of Francos Mankind, seal let
mortification into her lui e. "1 erhaps you
wish to avow that you love bet I ' she intern
peialely uttered.
" I bat is on avowal a mau raiely inuki s to
a third person," was Mr. Leicester's auswer.
'I can avow that my uiennsnip lor ner is
great ; that I esteem ber beyond uny woman
I ever met with, or probably ever shall. "
"Then you are a blind idiot," shrieked
Frauces ; und ibe tore away from bim, nt u
right angle, over tba bot grass.
"Aud now for Susan," thought Mr. Leices
ter, after he had sufficiently digcMcd Ins com
panion's fiautio proceedings. "The sooner 1
speak the better."
He did not see Susan till evening. When
he entered, she was alone.
"Is your sister out?" be inquired.
"No." replied Susan. "Sbe is not very
well, and has gone to ber room for tbe nigbt.
She suffers very much from the beat, and ibis
bot day bas completely overpowered ber."
Tbe fact was, poor Ursula Chase, tall and
very stout, did suffer dreadfully in bot weath
er. Bo she was in tba babit. on intensely bot
days, of retiring early to ber chamber, and
courting tbe evening breesa at the open win
dow, in tba airy costume of dressing gown
and nigbt cap.
llavevou besri tbe news?-' srked Mr.
Lehfstcs.
"No."
"I wonder at that, for news eprends fust iu
this viciuity, and I mentioned it this morn
ing." "What is it ?" asked Sttssn.
"That 1 have hud a living presented to
me."
"Indeed I Thn you will bo leaving this !"
"At the month's end. 1 wonder whether
anybody will regret mo?"
"Oh, yes !" involuntarily uttered Susan.
"Many will," she hastened to add.
".Susan !" he said in a low tone, as he ad
vanced close to her and took her band, "must
I go nlono ?"
She strove to take it from him, but he
would not let her.
"lias not tho tirno come when I mr.y rpewk
again?" bo whispered. "Susan, we are both
leading ft lonely life. Why should it be so ?
Hod 1 come here and found vou will, nnv i,h.
joct, or probable object of attachment, I
siioum nave nDiuca by tho old refusal, nnd
never moro havo reenrred to it ; but it is not
so, for you remain alone in the world. There
havo been times lately may I spouk out
freely?" he broke off to nsk, "frankly, as il
tho undisguisrd heart spoke, and not the
tongue."
"Yes, yes," sho answered.
"Then I havo nt limes fancied you were
inclined to regret that refusul ; that you were
beginning to esteem me moro thuu'you did
when you prenouncid il."
'T could not esteem vou moro than 1 did
then, Mr. Leicester," the said in a gentle
tone.
"Well, esteem is too cold a werd, but 1
did not doro to mako it warmer. The joy
that bopo bas brought to me is great too
great to bo crushed now. Oh, Susan, you
must listen to mo ! think how long 1 have
loved you ? What caused mo to leave Harba
does ? the thought of you, quilo as much ns
my breaking health. hut mudo mo seek 1
employment in this lo-ulily ? tho l:opo of!
being reunited to you." '
Now, (be truth was, if Susan did not re-
pent of hor former rejection of Mr. Leicester j
immediately on its being given, r.hu had done j
so Very soon ufterwurds ; that is, she repeuted .
having put a barrier to her friendship and i
intimncy with him. During the voyage home I
she bad bad leisure to reflect on his cstima- j
bio qualities, his welcomo society, his nublu 't
conduit to herself; und he gradually became ,
the one bright opot i:i the sad Hatbudocs '
reminiscence. During her more recent in- i
tercourse with bim alio bad learned to love,
bim uot, however, ns sho had once loved
another. That could never be again for !
Susan Chase ; it never is for any one. j
Slio stood closer to the wiudow, pressed 1
her forehand on its frame, and fpoke in a 1
subdued tone. ;
"There are circumstances in mv past life, 1
which, if known to ynu, would probably for
bid you to think of r.iu as you ara doing.
Before I relate them to you, I must promise
that all you have said may be as retracted.
I shall understand it as such. No, Mr. Lei
cester!" fur ho sought to take her hand
ognin "listen first. When I was eighteen
I became engaged to a young officer ; our
marriage was fixed, and I was to accompany
him abroad. My mother's deuth pievenled
it, and he sailed without uie. We corres
ponded for moro than three years, and Iheu
lie returned to fulfil his engagement. It was
Lieutenant Curuagiw."
Susan stopped, but Mr. Leicester made no
comment.
"lie returned to marry me ; but, oro the
wedding-day. 1 f.nmJ that his love for me
had changed into a lyvo for my youngest
sister; a strong, uncontrollable pu.-i.-ion as it
appeared, aud sho shared it. 1 sacrificed my
owu feelings, released hiui, u:id they were
married." ,
"Oo on, fjiis an '."
"From that moment I strove to drive him
from my heart, il was ti hard and bitter tusk.
i but I succeeded tolerubly well ; and when
r. nun a wrote that sue was sulleriug in health,
miserable, and had a presentiment of dying !
in her approaching illness, 1 thought it my ;
duty to go out to Barbado-iR. Ursula would j
not. There I met vou. M r. Leicester."
"And your sister repaid your kindness by j
quitting you in the manner slio ilnl. '
i es ! ion can understand now, whv li
relt it so tuidesuublu lo bo left under the
roof of Mr. Ciirn.igie. Nut," uddod Suaau,
turning her tearful ryes upon him, "that any
trace of former feeling remained in f.iy heuit.
Oh, no, that hail been completely eradicated ;
but ! felt my position un ui.pk-usuut one."
"It was so.
"And il proved so. One dav after I cot
belter fiom my illness 1 wish to tell you all,
.Mr. Leicester Lieutenant luruagiu so lar
forjoUhimself us to speak of our former love ;
he urged me to promise that it should be
renewed ufter tho divorce from my sister had
been obtained. I was bhoeked und Urntied;
uud 1 told hi in thai 1 would rather marry u
poor black on his estute than I would marry
bim. He left me iu a pus.-iou, und you came
in close upon it. It was then you spcLo to
inc.
"Ay. ay?"
"Hut 1 answered you very differently from
whut 1 did him, though ihe substanci was
the same," she said, dancing briel.tly up.
"1 was thankful to you, Mr. Leicester grat-
llled by your good opinion ot me ; und, in one
sense, regretted so to answer you, lor 1 liud
begun to value your Irienilclnp. 1 removed
to your house the tamo alleruoon."
"And 1 went up the couulry on au impov
erished mission, to lid you of my company.
Tho timo will come yet, Susan, when wo
shall beguile our home evening by talking
over these old days.
This remark rcc-llcd Susan.
"When Mr. Curliagie was Lngland lust
yeur ho came heio. What do you think for 'i
To retiow his prayer that I would still bo
come Mrs. Carnugie. 1 quitted his presence,
and sent Ursula to answer him. That is ull
1 huve to tell you, Mr. Leicester."
"And why havo you told it mo, Susan ?"
' U was right that you should know it
And because, knowing it, you may uct iLiuk
of mo as you did before."
"No, 1 do uot; 1 think nf you more highly.
I repeal, Susan, I caiiiiel see why you huve
told me this. Why should your having been
engaged to Mr. Curnagie, render vou lets
eligible to bicomo my wil-i?"
'lkrauso my heart's whole love was given
to him," she murmured. "Decuuse, loving
him us 1 did, ardently, enduiingly. 1 can
never love uuother. 1 esteem jou; Mr.
Leicester fur more than 1 ever esteemed
uim ; 1 like you better lhau 1 like any one
Letter, probublv. than i evt r shall liko any
ono else, even if wo do not meet aguiu ufter
this uight. 1 feel a pride iu your upright
character. 1 long fur your society ; iu the
daytime 1 wish tbe hours would more quickly
puss on to tho evening, which may briug
you j uad oaca in your presence 1 um ul
rest, and look for uothiug beyond il. Yet,
lor ull this, 1 do not luvt you ; my love passed
from ma wift Charles Carnugie."
Mr. Leicester drow ber fuce from the win
dow, where she bad completely flattened it,
drew it tcaardu him between bis hands, uni
gazed on it. "What more can 1 desire ?" Le
askod. "My dearest I will promise yoa one ;
thing never to be jealous of the memory of j
Lienlenant ("arnagie."
"Y'ou uro willing to lako mo as I am? j
with my worn heart ?" !
"Ay, Susan ! take you nnd be thankful '" !
"Then," she whispered, leaning forward to '
hide hor tearful face on his breast, "hear me j
ulso promise that 1 nill be to you n good and
faithful wife. Y'ou shall never have cause to I
regret that tny curly love was given to !
nuotber." j
"Susun, I must poy jnvself for that old re
rural." "As you please.-' j
"Fiances," cried ISctsy AshleV, dancing
iuto the presence of Frances Maitlutid, some
days later, "I nm going to be bridesmaid lo
somebody. Y'ou oie going to be asked to be
another. Ursula Chase is to be third."
"Who is going to be married ?"
"Aht Who? 1 am right after all. It is
lo bo directly before the summer's over."
"Can't you spouk ? Who is it ':"
"Susan Chase nnd Mr. Leicester."
"It's uot tM:e ?" cr.id Frances, turning fifty
colors.
"If it's not truo may I never bo n bride
myself!" uttered Hessy. "Just pocket your
nonsense, and behuve to ihem as n decent
youug lady ought. It uill be ; uud you know
what can't be cured must be endured."
Frances Maitland did pocket it, and wus
one of Susan Chase's bridesmaid ou her
wedding day.
And Susan saw that destiny had been
kinder to her limn she would have been to
herself; lor she knew thut, us the wife of
Lieutenant Csruagie, her heart would havo
souubt iu vain for Ihe 'iodic it hud now found
in Mr. Leicester.

"On Friday last u number of f.pplicunts
came up and wero confidently pressed, ou tho
ground that their necessity lor the uccoinino
datiou of the public was not to bo coii-id.-red
that tho having complied with the forms of
lire law, tuey were euuib d to their lieeuses
as a matter of coerse, and that the Court
could not refute them. (Joe. H-jedtr, how.

ground that the Legislature "wero entirely

that, in fuel, the Court wAs bound tu inquire
us under Hie old law, wiiciiicr ttietavein pro

ihe public, end if, i i th ir opinion, it wus not
necessary, tbey must reject the upplication.
The matter was argued on Fihiay eveuiug,

c'uurly uu 1 conclusively established his prisi
t on, that thero can be no d nil t up u lli sub

ihe bar, us we b urn, concur iu t! e opinion
that the argument cannot be cnsaeied, uud
ull the citizens we have hearJ speak ill tba
subject, are of the same opiuu.n.
Singularly enough, the counselor for the
uppl.caiits was Mr. Got pp. who. as Ciiuhinaii

thut by the repeal of a repealing law the third
section of the net of 1331 was uiie.p clcdly
revived. It is ginerally considered hire a
Capitol joke upon the Legislature.
If the law is so umbieiious iu its language
us to justify such widely different construe
tions, it is ulready lune that it sbuulj be re
pealed, or that the proper judicial tr.buual
should give nuthoii'y on one construction or
tho other. For ourselves, wecaiuot, see haw
any mun can placo uny other constructions
upon the law than tho.io eivcii by J.d,'e

workings of it, under such interpretation, may
tend to bring it iuto disrepute.
