but the circumstanee excited no suspicion.
-To be brief, before two years elapsed, '
the large estate left by our father was swept
from us, and we were almost bankrupt.—
Ile had induced my mother to mortgage
the plantation, with the view, he said, of
purchasing more negroes to work it, hut
the money was squandered, and the slaves
we had were secretly sold by fives and tens
until less than a dozen remained. When
asked to explain by my mother, he had no
excuse to offer. In the midst of this great
grief, another wife of Mayhew—that was
the villain's name—suddenly made her ap
pearance at the plantation Learning the
residence of her husban,l, but knowing
nothing of his second marriage, she had
left South Carolina to meet him. My poor
bib ter was heart-brukeu. Mayhew, to es
cape prosecution. fled from the State. His
first wife was sent to the mad-house, and

I started id pursuit of the scoundrel who
had dealt such havoc with our peace.—
Through a dozen States I tracked him, and
returned with my mission of vengeance
unaccomplished. One year ago, by acci
dent, I learned that he was in California.
As soon as I recovered from a-serious ill
ness under which I was laboring, I took
passage for thiaState. I arrived six months
ago. lie is here, Ibr I have seen him, and
he cannot escape me now! He is even in
this city, but little dreams that the pistol
is shotted to send him to the great relt. 7
oning. I have made few acquaintances,
having no wish to implicate others in a
work of blood which must be mine alone.
Last night I followed him from the El Do
rado, where he spends most of his time,
to a house on Powell street. Ile has visit
ed it frequently of late, and to-day I Racer-
tamed that he is paying his addresses to a
widow lady of wealth residing there. But
he will not marry her, for another week
shall not gee him alive: You now know
all. Have I one fried in California?"
To see so much spirit, so much deter
mination, so much manhood exhibited by
a beardless boy, surprised me beyond ex
pression. I offered the brave little fellow
my hand, and he felt that he was answered.
In silence we returned to our lodgings.—
Bidding Jansen good-night, I stepped into
Smith's room for a moment. I found the
old gentleman somewhat agitated. He
had lost F valuable diamond pin that day,
and freely intimated that the "sleek young
cuss," as he denominated Janson, bad
stolen it. I so strenuously tndeavored to
dissipate the impression, that I verily be
lieve he felt inclined to transfer the odium
of the supposed theft to me. That night
Smith snored louder than uswil.
Three days after, I met Janson in the
street. and learned that be had taken
rooms on Powell street. I did not inquire
the rea4on —I thought I 'knew it. The
next day I again met him. His face was
unusually pale. yet he said be had not felt

A Romance in Real Life--An Extra-
ordinary Marriage
ft,llowing episode in the lit of a Lo
retto who is weft known in this city, hut is
now residing with her husband in Dayton,
may serve to show how little persons know
of those with whom they should be best
acquainted. and at the same time illustrate
the power of love and sympathy toward
reclaiming women who, through the perfi
dy of the opposite sex, have been induced
to forfeit at once their own honor and the
esteem of society.
In January, 1$51), a young girl scarcely
eighteen year; of age. name Alice—, ar
rived in this city from a small town in
Western New York, and after obtaining
the my certificate, became an inmate
of the Co mercial Hospital, where she be
came a mother. While lying at that in
stitution,
"Fitint with a hen. of luin-booirbit Itsppitiose
she addressed a letter to the man who had
been the author of her shame, telling him
of the circumstance?. ; uttering no reproach
however, but stating that if 'be could but
retain his love and esteem, she could easi
ly afford to brave the scorn and contempt
of the world.
To this she received no answer. Hen
always have a false idea of the women,, who.
through an excess of affection, gratifies
their passion ; and her lover was no ex
ception to the rule. Again and again She"
wrote, speaking of the happiness they had
known in each other's society, and praying
him to write, even if it were to inform her
thet what she hint now begun to fear : ,--the
death of his regard fir her—had really
taken place.
In her despair she adopted the only al.
ternative left to her, save death, and be
came an inmate of a Plum street bagnio. .
Here she remained until last February,
when. one evening, while sitting in the
parlor, a man entered, and, glancing aroubd
the room upon a bevy of women whose
countenances still bore the traces of their_
last night's dissipation, he took a seat o n
the sofa by her side. She turned her face
towards him, and as the. glare of the gas
light fell upon it, looked into his eyes,
while a pair of pearly tears arose in her
own, and in a low and semi-sorrowful tone
said, "Charles. you here ?"
Startled with the recognition, he was for.
a moment lost in wonder, hut soon recog
nized in the female by his shle the Alice he
had so cruelly deceived. Struck with re
morse for the crime of which he had been
guilty, and being really honorable at heart,
he immediately proposed to marry her if
she would leave the place with him imme
diately. She gladly consented, and the
next day they were legally united by a jus
tioe of the peace, and left the city for their
present home. Their child, which had
still been indirectly under its mother's
charge, bore them company. and the sun
ny eyes of the little Alice are now the chief
delight of the father's heart.

MARRIAGE or NEAR RELATIVE,.—The
Ohio Legislature has been passing some
laws on this subject, and if one bait is tree
that has been affirmed in regard to t I
effect of eousins intermarrS'ing. it would
seem as if tt were the duty of parents and
guardian: to interfere, and et en at all Ntllte
LegiAlattllVE to do what can well Ia• done to
prevent so injurious a custom. It is said
that in Massachusetts. out .)f 17 families
forme by the marriage of cousins, there
were 'Xi children ; and in,OLno, in such
families, there were 3,91.5 1 children. It
would thus seem that theaverage ..iniAer of
children is not diminished by such inter
marriages., the Massachusetts statistics giv
iug 5} children to each such marriage. But
out of these'i children. -44 were idiot: 12
scrofulous, and only 37 in tolerable health.
while in Ohio 2,490 out of 3.9 is I were either
intellectually or physically detective. In
all families some of the children will he
more or less defective, and were °ireful
records made, the proportion of the per
fectly healthy children would he found
smaller than most imagine. But 44 idiots
out. of 95 children, is a ).roportion, if true,
sufficient to startle any one, and to dolland
`4onit vigorous remedy. The record). and
inquiries) of insane and idiotic asi,luins
might throw great further light up.ei this
subject. In one ease of double cousins, 9
children—all there were—were 1 4 Of low
grade. Enough, then, ma) be deinonstra
ted to make all sensible eousins abstain
from marrying. Families. like the open
ing leaves of a flower, are formed not to
grow together. but apart. Friends and
guardians, and all who hese the confidence
of the young ; ministers and retedieal at
tendants, should bear such facts in mind,
and exert the full measure of their intelli
gence and influeuee to prevent •,uvli unions.

She seemed to call her away, and then she
