TZIE REPOSITORY. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser A TALE, BUT NO FICTION. [CONCLUDED FROM OUR !AST.] After remaining a few weeks in the city, the happy couple made the fashionable tour of tho se veral watering places in this state, visited the ro mantic regions of Lake George, listened to the deafening roar of Niagara, and then returned.— And having resigned his situation in the army, and obtained an appointment in a distant territory, in the autumn ofl 82—, after taking leave of his friends, and parting with great reluctance from his still more endeared friend and companion B—, he departed with his wife for the station where his new duties required his residence. Hitherto their matrimonial path had been strewed with flowers, and not a cloud had for a moment obscur ed the sun of their happiness. The brightest mornings, however, sometimes lead on the darkest days, and it is but too true that— " Life's fairest views are but an airy dream, Frail as the transient cloud, or bubble on the stream." An endewical fever, so often fatal to strangers in that climate, arrested his progress at Natchez, which baffled the skill ofhisvphysicians. He re ceived every attention - from the strangers among whom he was east, and all the endearing attach ments of his wife—but in vain, It was decreed that the'qty of bliss, which had but just been tasted, was to be dashed suddenly--ft.orniterrlips-, and so rapid was the progress of the disease, that in five short days from the commencement of his illnesss, she found herself a widow in a strange land—desolate—alone, But the measure of her affliction being not yet full, she in turn was seized by the dire contagion; and it was not until after the lapse ofseVeral months that she was able to return with the messenger sent to conduct her back to hOr friends, and the scenes of her recent enjoyments. ' Many of her husband's affairs were left in an unsettled state; and after the poignancy of her griO had somewhat subsided ; it became necessary for her to look after them. Fortunately was a professional man, and tawhom could she better applfteamiatance in her forlorn situation, than to her husband's most intimate and confidential friend? She did so; & he attended to her requests with all the readiness and kindness that she could, have expected. A year rolled away, and the af fairs, though not yet settled, were in a train of ad justment. Mean time another year passed away with these beyond the -flood, during which. his 'visits bad gradually become more and more fre quent, and his attentions to her more marked and particular. Ho was her husband's dearestfriend, and 'she thitefere the more' readily confided in himi During this intercourse with her, his con duct was uniformly marked by the' most scrupu lous propriety and delicacy. And when, with hon orable frankness he formally avowed himself as a . suitor for he heart and hand, he was accepted. An cnAagement for marriage soon succeeded, and the time . fixed 'for the wedding was not. romote. The engagement was known and approved by her friends; but ere the tithe for the celebration of the nuptials arrived, it was postponed—again, again, and again—by, various plausilile pretexts, so art fully devised is to kayo „nothing , to excite any Well-groundeduspicions as„Apliis 'faith, and the' 'W.ZZLINDINZ lanilM MLSCiIe rectitude of his intentions. Ile was a grave and an honorable man, not' likely be fickle inThis mind, or tlesible in his purposes. In this situation affairs stood until a few months since, when, to it was supposed, an irrevocable determination was made that the wedding should take place during the present spring; and . the lady wentupon a winter's visit to her friends in the country—to the dear delightful spot ofher infancy —where she first dreamed of love—and. where those bright visions of happiness first danced in her youthful imagination,—the reality of which had, as it were, but just dawned upon her for a moment, as ifto render the storm of adversity which followed still more gloomy-and afflictive— but which now bid to retina again soon, if not with their primitive brightness, at least with a mellow light which promised to cheer her through the remainder of her life. A constant correspon dence was kept up between herself and B—, and he continued his visits to the Emily of her sister, with whom she had resided while in this City. And our tale must begin tb unkd itself. A few weeks sincosthe bell rang feebly at the door of this lady's residence, the initial of Whose hus band's name we omit; and the servant ushered in a lady whose fragile form, pallid cheek, & sunken, lustreless eyes, bore ample testimony to decaying health; and there was a deep-settled - melancholy j mien her countenance, yet so handsomeas to pro claim that her features had once been beautiful, which told but to plainly that her heart-strings had been torn with anguish, and that there was a canker in her bcisom "eating into her sold," and wasting away.,her thin light form, which had al). parently been formed in the finest mould. She hesitatingly and timidly inquired for Mrs. M—, but on learning that she was in the country, and that thelady of the house was her 'sister, she pulled from her bosom the miniature of the de. ceased Major M—, avowing herselfto have been his sister. She said at the same time that it was a treasure which she had highly prized, though ..ort.his.last_visit the.city,_Of ..which_sheL was apprized until by accident she had received the sad tidings of his death, ho had treated her with a (logic° of neglect,'which had grieved her to the soul, but for which she could never account. And es she believed now that she could not long sur vive, she thought her brother's widow had the best claim to the picture, and she had inquired her out and brought it. Mrs. —, having navel- be fore heard that her dtcoased brother-in-law had a sister living in the city, was incredulous to the story of the' relationship, but took the picture and remised to write to her sister. The stranger 1 departed, reaffirming with earnestness, and. Lin of woman's pride, her near consanguinity the deceased, amid promising shortly to return. • t. th t tvg,l . , with 1 The lady wrote to her sister the purtieulars.of this interview, with her belief that tlio stranger was an imposter. Tho return of the mail brought a :reply, in which Mrs. for the first time imparted to her sister the melancholy tale respect. ing her deceased husband's sister, which we have given above, & which he had communicated to her only after they had left Philadelphia for the west. Shortly after the receipt of this letter, the• strange lady -ealled-rtgairi c apparently, as before, oppressed by the bitterness of grief, and pining away under the pangs of her burthened bosom. But the lady now shrunk from her as from thetouch of polution. The stranger perceived this alteration in her do. inoanor, and truly apprehended the cause. The color which had long boon a stranger to her cheek again partially returned, and her dark bule eyes were fur the moment lighted up, as she exclaimed with sudden and .unwonted energy—"Fos! lam his sister, and your suspicions, which I w 1l un derstand, are groundless:- I- am an unfortunate, an injured, but an innocent woman: I am the laWful wife but Checking herself, she proceeded • a_subdued tone, "alas! I cannot speak further." For a time. "Her lips moved not, but quivenngly,, Nor would they aught betray; Yet more therdipotioTtieriltiiilling eye, Than words could ever say ; Yes, there was meaning in her glance." Having in a manner composed her troubled feel ings, some/ further conversation ensued, in which the blighted fair one renewed her protestations of innocence, and intimated that while she had been deserted by her former friends, though lawfully married, and. the mother of several children, yet she had been compelled silently to boar the re proachos that had hien cast upon her—iii the dai ly hope that all the mystery in whieh her ease was involved would soon bit cleared up. But her heart was now fast Withering Under the ttteap . pointments of hope long deferred. Indeed she hacrhofied un tilno hope was left; and she was now determined ero she dropped -into the tomb, which must soon open for her reception, tarescue her fame and vir tue from the cruel imputations under which she was aufferingt She, then informed the lady, that if her husband would call at No. in street, on acertain day, she would convinco'him . $1 the truth of her assertions, Yet shd gave not the remotest intimation as to who was thehusband . who had thus contrived•to keep henin seclusion,. with billet doubtful reputation. The doubts of the lady and her husband Were .not removed, but their:. interest and curiosity to pinetrate the veil which appeared to hang over the fate of the unhappy fe male, were-powerfully awakened.

While the evening was patleing thus pleasantry away, thio lady handed 'lain the ininiaturcepf his deceased friend, tb infinite of him Ivhetherit wits a good likeness. He took the picture, but had no sooner casthis eyes upon it, than it dropped from his hands. For an instant his countenance was pale ,as ashes. );;very drop of blood seemed to have rushed back Upon his heart. His lips quivered, and he trembled in every joint. But he recovered his-self-possession inn moment, picked up the pie, ture, as:though it had fallen by a Common accident and after a-few common-place remarks upon it, left, the house, earlier, and more abruptly than u sual. The mystery now increased and a dark suspi cion flashed across their miruts His agitation had been ton ()Nylons not to be perceived ; yet there was no definable cause for lt , only that it appeared to be strongly connected with the picture. True it might have been occasionttal by the sudden view of the wcll.known features,of an endeared and valuable-friend, whose remains had for pore than three years boon mouldering beneath the . clods of the valley. 13ut still the curiosity attic family was wrought ❑p to a higher degree of in tensity; and although the gentleman had hitherto doubted the propriety ofattending the appointment of the unfortunate female, his resolution was now fixed, and he atonco determined to-visit her at the time appointed. Ho did so; and found her in a re tired dwelling, melancholy and sad as before, but surrounded by her little family, and to all appear ance very comfortably situated. She entered in. to a history of her life and situation, since her brother had entered the army several years ago.— A few years after his departure, she liturreeervad the addresses of a gentleman whom she had known as her brother's intimate friend and associate, to whom some six or seven years since she was mar ried. And she was induced t nsent that their I union should be kept an invi labia secret, in con- 1 c r sequence of the reprcsentati 9of her husband, • that thia-Rivacy was of the ut ost importance to hisTacunia'ry interests, as it re • (led a large a- / Mount of 'property in expectancy, ‘thich would / certainly ba4evised_to-Isinr-if-Itis4ia.rriage were not known, but of which ho would certainly be de- i prived, wore the fact to come to the knowledge of his aged relative. Another motive for secrecy, he represented to be some heavy losses, which would prevent his going to house-keeping . iii . the style he wished, until he should have retrieved his. circumstances, which object would be accomplish ed at no distant day. For along,time, though de- 1 sorted by the little circle of friends, she bore the seclusion cheerfully, and her husband often strengthened her resolution, by representing the pleasures they would all derive .when hor brother arrived, from the agreeable surprise it would oc casion him, to find his" mister the happy with (Otis early and constant friend. . But from„the day of her marriage she had not heard from her beloVed 'orotlvr; nor was it until long after his death that I by some accident, she came to the knowledge of his marriage in this city, and his subsequent de cease. Her heart then sunk within her: But although the explanations of her husband were un satisfactory, still lie had always been kind and at tentive to her, (only that he never dined at home.) and•fearing that the estate would be lost, she had kept the secret within her own bosom. And even yet, she Said the socrot would not have been wrung from her, were it not that her own dissolution ap peared to be near, and she was anxious that her children should be able to look the world in the face without blushing at the imputation of unlaw ful parentage. While giving this account of her self, she at times was almost overcome with erne tion; and when speaking of the doubt and suspicion which had been cast upon her . character. "..........—. . in a gushing stream; The tears rushed forth from her o'erclonded brow ; Like mountain mists at length dissolv'd in rain." •But she still avoided giving. any intimation as to the name of her husband, nor could entreaty in duce her to alter her determination, until she had further time and another interview... The conVer sation having been changed to the affairs of her brother and his widow, the gentleman with appa rent carelessness, mentioned as a piece of if elt &lice that would -naturally interest her, that the latter was to ho married again in the !airing, to B-- 7 ---. But had a bolt been hurled upon hor head from the angry skies, the shock upon her feeble frame could hardly have been greater.— She clasped her hands in an agony of grief, and as soon as her agitation would permit utterance, she exclaimed, "Oh, God! he is my husband!.. Oh! (she continued) is it possible!-But I see it all now!"—and swooned in convulSions upon the floor: The shock was severe upon the gentleman, and had it not been for the mysterious incident of the pictare, would have been much more so; but the singular conduct of B— on that occasion / had,in a measure prepared him for some strange disclosure.. :Vile usual restoratives having been applied, the unfortunate, lady was so far recovered as to speak further upon the subject, and the se- Tret having been thus divelged, she unburthened ier heart more . freely, and proved the truth of her niPresentations,bY producing the certificate other. marriage from a resident clergyman, who con firms its genuineness and authentieity. ~ c , VARIETY. • From the Baltimore' Patriot.
