Emily' :Brooks, was, like my first luve. en orphan, but shower, three and twenty,iwd emancipated from.tbe control of' guardians; her *tune was ten thousand pounds, luta sh- resided with a family of friends in a amity town, where I first became acquainted with her while stay ing on a visit in the neighborhood. She receiverl•my attentions favorably, Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, her friends, had fortunately no unmarried son; and although the young doctor of the town was evidently muds smiuen with herself or her ten tho usand pounds, sire decidedly gave the preference to me. I was suddenly called eta° London on business: but promised to return inm:fuglaright... I felt anxious to write to Emily, but**.eft she would deem it a liberty; fortunately, howeve4 was * subscriber to a public charity, and I reeved tp write to her toll°. licit het vote for a protege of my friend George Gor don's. I bought some beautiful French paper, and a box of silver wafers for the put pose; took a newly-made , pen, and achieved a much more decently written let- • ter than usual.—Before I put it in the post resolved to call on Emily's uncle, Mr. Drewett,silrealthy mer chant in the city with whom I had somonespaintanct. I met him, however, in St Paul's COnrohYard, i he stopped and accosted me i,. a ft ry friesellmnanner,. and was evidently in high spirits... . ~ . - Mr Drterrett was of those men who seem _born to luck; he had a handsome wife. 'pretty children, pleas- „. ant friends, and a flourishing business; he 10.1 only • ono ungratified wish, and this he for years .' sense enough to bury in his bosom,and never nmealedl - it to any one until the time if its fulfilment. Thar time had now come,—Mr Drewett was a baronet; and when he info-toed me of his new honors, 1 was q uite delighted to think that 1 should be able to send the news to Emily, who was much attached tober un de. Before I reached home, I met at least a down . people, all of wliom had seen tke baront that morning, and been infurmed by him of hiadignitiesmnd, with the exception of a few snerastic inuendoes reepecting!`the restless ambigon of some people," they really bear the good fortune of a neighbor. , I found that I was later than I imagined, andliindi , scarcely time tortve the post, consequently I only adl ded in a.postsenpt—"huve you heard of the..baronet cy of your uncle Drentul it has created quite a senses tion in the city;" and remembering George Gutdotr's remark that it was impossible to distinguish my a's. from my ti's I took especial care, for the first time in my life, that the a following the I) in baronetcy, should. be exceedingly distinct and clear. ,I will now, as I did on a reverter occasion, aaptaihe' , my reader immediately with the circumstances that only crime to my own knowledge at a subsequent pe riod. Emily received and reed my communicatiorn e the substance of a lady's letter is said take contained . in the postscript; how truly didehat observation apply in the present instance to the posteeri pt. ofagentteman!.. ..." —Whet was the. honor of Emily to read• an inqpiryr whether she had heard of the bonkrwptey .if her uncle' Diewett ! She gave „me loud shriek which bi ought the whole house to her assistance, and then went into violent hysterics. Lest Emily's sensibility should be thought by my readers to be rather greater than the cc cnsinn demanded, 1 will explain to them the reason which made bee peculiarly sensitive in regard to the commereini prosperity of her uncle. When she came Of ago she took possession of her property of ten thou .sand pounds, bet oil consulting Mr Drewett about the permanent investment ofit,.he advised' her to entrust it with him to employ in hisbusiness. promising to pay her much better interest than she would get in the funds; the ruin of her tn.cle, therefore, involved her own. Mrs Williamson called fur burned feathers, hartsitern, and eau de cologne, sent for the young doe-.- tor,and then took up the letter, no doubt imputing the hystelies of her young friend to diseppointment in love. She found. however, that the ease was much worse than she had surmisdd; Emily had confided to her (and through her means the whole town had be come aware of it,) that she had placed her fortune in the hands Giber uncle, and when the poor gill revived to consciousness. she found her affectiumue friend sit- • ting by her with the letter in her hand, and kindly ad vising her. "not to give away so, but to remember that she had received an excelleatedue.ation, and that it was , no disgrace to any body torten their maintenance!" Just then the youngdoctor hastened into Jtbe room on the wings of love, basing preferred trussirigtohil , own speed, rather than wait till an elderlyaerheezing. rag ged-looking horse, that cuuld not walk half so fast as himself, was harnessed to his gig. He entered the -room while Mrs. SN'illiamsen was expressing berfears -,t'ist Mr Drewett must have been very speculative and improvident. and a few questions put him in possession of !he feet s of the case. "Miss Brooks. mast not agitate herself," he said "nothing is so bad for this-health as depression of the spirits." Mt s W Miamian . rtioined that it ens extremely wrong in any one utin,rifer their seirits to be depressed, reletted some sWOlll6ll' erre' the cheerfulness with which the French eminiantshore their nii..fornmeii, and in !danced the _esireor a fuSeiniating countess in pertiete lar, who hattbeen reduced from a magnificent chateau at Versailhm, to live upon fifteen poonds a year in an attic, in.St Miirtin's Lane, and was alloys the life of every society in w bleb , she snored! ..: Just then the young anew jumped :op; vehemently • Mesa his-forehead, and dectarerkbefitad that moment maneathered that ars Gondwih, who lilted five miles fl, and was the most anxious nervous mother in the world, had feared the day before that her s ix c hildren were sickening with scarlatina, and. no dualat r -was ac casing him of great neglect and unkindness intuit call ing to inquire after them; therefore, as hi* friend Miss Brooks was doing so exceedingly well, he must run home without delay, and ordet his horse to be har nessed. ./towedingly. ho disappeared., not having,-as washi• wont, ordered three pale pink draughts a day fur his patientonobablylsecause he thought that-the means of pay meet for needless luxuries mig)st not is future be very abundant in the exchequer of his be- inved.
