of the time, -sturdy in tardily wealth. With
the young ladi be pressed his suit successfully; ,
and in-time the fathet might have sureambee,
ciespite.the fact that he regarded the resources
with which ; Irfing proposed to supporta wife
too slender to Maintain that style of luxury to
which his daughter has been accustomed. In
au evil hour, as 4 seemed, a Dr. Creighton; a
minister Of the Presbyterian Church, 'despite
his Scottish parentage, fell in 'with the gentle
man whom he Was desirous of Making his fa
ther-in-law. ' The clergyman's eyes were daz
zled by the beauty of the same young lady
who had won the heart of the aspiring author,
aml.the eyes of the. father were blinded.taall
other consideratiens by the wealth which Dr.
Creighton offered, together with his heart.--
Time and persistencypushed
. Irving from the
set.•ne,'and the girl, obedient to her father's ur
gent entreaties, gave his preference the prece
dence of her own. 'But the saddest part of the
story remains to be told. When the' queition
of the marriage pertion was:under con.hiera.
than, the father stated that. the "family. had been
tainted: with , insanity; 'and to guard,'against
the evils, of harshtreatment, should the dough.
ter. be afflicted with the same malady, insisted'
that &certain sum should be set aside, which,
in the event a calamity, should be devoted to
het maintenance on her
,estate on the - banks 'of
the Ifudson, and that in no event should she be
removed from the mansion there.'
The terms the ardent suitor, hoping - for . the
best, complied' with. It might hav&the result.
of hereditary disease, or of the effort to crush .
out and kill her: Young hoPee,.but,bot. many
years elapsed before the 'Young wife was a ra
ving maniac.' She became so violent that con
finement.was rendered necessary, and the tarn
ily mansion was converted into an asyluni, Dr:
Creighton building aßother house on a distant
part of the estate. The unfortunate woman is
still living, and on quiet nights her Shrieks may
be - heard shrilly along the banks of the river—
almost• audible, ' too, at, th& secluded retreat
which Irving occupied.' ',No heart but his own
kndws how 'much the sad event may have
tinged ' his own life, or to. whet exertions , it
mayhave . urged him in atteMpting to,droivn all
remembrance' of: his disappointment. , DT.
Creighton has for years officiated at the humble
chapel. where Irving' worshiped=--and, singular
enough, read thelburial ieririCe for his former
rival. To those who were aware of these
mournful cireunastances,- the strange coinci
denc.e must have been exceedingly. Painful.--
