• , BY WILKIE ;
Vrom his mu, Look, " The Qii;en of tarts."]
Ilyou had been in the far :West of, Eng
land about thirteen•ycars since, nod if you
had happened to take up one of the Cornish
newspapers on a certain day of the month,
which need not be specially mentioned, you
would have seen this notice of a marriage at
thedop of a column :
•' On the third lilt:taut. at the parish church, the
Rev. Allred Carling, Iterlor of PenlidAy. to huffily Har
riet. relict of the Into Fergus Duncan, Esq., of Glen
da., N. II."
The rector's marriage did not produce a
very fhvorable impression in the town, solely
in consequence of the unaccountably private
anti unpretending manner in which the cere
mony had been performed. The middlo.
aged bride and .bridelfromn had 'Walked qui
etly to church one morning, had been mar•
tied by the curate before any one was aware
of it, and had onbarked immediately after
ward in the steamer for Tenby, where they
proposed to pass their honeymoon. d ,
' After' six weeks' absence, Mr. and Mrs.
Carling returned, and the simple story of the
rector's courtship and marriage waS gathered
together in fragments, by inquisitive friends,
from his own lips and from the lips of his
wile.
Mr. Oarling and Mrs. Duncan had met at
forquay. The rector, who Itti'd exchanged

ralier clergymen settled nt Torquay, ,had
ulled ou Mrs: lknean in his clerical caps ,

deeply, impressed and interested by ihe wid•

dent, devoted love on both sides.
Middle-aged man thopgh ha was, this was
Mr. Carling 's first attachment, and it was
met by, the same freshness and feeling on
the lady's part. 'Her life' withi hor first bus•
band had not been a happy one. She had
made the fatal mistake of !harrying to please
her parents rather than herself, and had re
pented it ever'afterward. On her bushand's
death his family had not behaved well to
her, and she' had' passed-her widowhood; with
her only child, a daughter, in the retirement
of a small Scotch town many miles away
from the home of her married life. After a
time the little girl's health had begun to fail,
and, by the doctor's advice, she had migrat
ed southward to the mild - climate of Torquay.
The .change had proved to be
,of no avail,
and rather more than a year sia•e, the child.
had died. The , place where her - darling was
buried was a sacred place to her, and she
had remaintd a resident at Torquay.
position in the world was now a lonely one.
She was herself an only child; her father
and Mother were both'dead and, excepting
cousins, the one near relationleft alive was a
maternal uncle living in London.
Theie particulars were related simply'
and unaffectedly before Mr. Carling ventured
on the Confession of his auttehment. When
he made his Proposal of marriage, Mrs. Dun
can received it with an excess of agitation
which astonished and AlMost alarmed the in
experienced clergyman.. As soon as she
could speak, she begged with . extraordinary
earnestness and anxiety for a week to, con
sider her answer, and requested Mr. Curling
not to visit her. on any 'account until , the '
week had
.expired.
The next morning she and her maid de
parted for London - . They did not return un
til the week for consideration bad - expited.
On the eighth day Mr. Carling called again
and was accepted.

allow him to travetto Cornwall tndgive his
niece away at the:altar,) and he agreed. with
Mrs. Duncan' that the wedding could not be
too private and unpreteeding: If it was
wade publie, - the family of her nrst husband
we'll(' expect cards to be sent to them, and
a renewal of intercourse, which woad, be
painfol.on both sides, might_ be the conse
quence. Other friends in Scotland, again
would resent her marrying a second time at
her.nge, and wotild distress her and. ; annoy
her future husband in many ways. She was.
anxious to break altogether witli her past
existentle,.apd to begin a liew and. happier
Tito . toi.rattimeled - by any 'comiection with
former times and trouble. She - urged these
points.as site-hied received the offer of mar
riage, with an agitation Which was almost
painlnt to see. This peculiarity in her con
duct, however, which might have irritated
'some men, and rendered others distrustlub,
had no unfavorable' effect on Mr. Carling.
!le set it down to an excess of sensitiveness
and delicacy which charmed him.. Ile was
himself—though he, never would confess it—
a shy, nervous man by nature. Ostentation.
'of any sort was something which lie shrank•
front instinctively, even' in the simplest of
fairs of deity EreP and bisTuture wife's pro.
posal to avoid all tho usual ceremony and
puhdieill of a wedding was therefore more
than agreeable to Into—iewas a-posititte, re.
lief.
.The courtship,was ; kept secret at. Torquay,
and the marriagei'Was celebrated privately
- at Penliddy. It found its way into the local
newspapers as a matt.. of course, lint it was
as usualin such cases, 'also advertised
in the Times. Both husband and wife were
equally. happy in the enjoyment of their new
life, und.equally unsocial in taking no meas•
ores whatever, to publish it to others.
Such was the story of the rector's mar
riage. °Sot:Tally, Mr. Carling's position was
but little affected either way by the 'eloing,e
in his life. k-As'a bachelor, his circle of
friends had been a small one, and when, he
married he made no attempt to enlarge it.
He ba — Weyer been popurtir - Wiidi theiaLu
itunts of his pariiih generally. Essentially a
weak man, he was, like other weak men,
only capable of asserting himself positively
in serious matters by running into extremes.
As a - consequence of this moral .defect, lie
presenticd some singular anomalies in char.
acter. In the ordinary affairs of life he was
the gentlest and the most yielding of men,
but in all'that related to strictness of relig
ious principle he was the Sternest and most
aggressive of-fanatics. In. the pulpit he was
a preacher of merciless sermons—andl - ider•
[miter of-the Bible by the letter rather than_
by the spirit, as 'pitiless mid gloomy as one
or the 'Puritans of old.
Friends gatlrcred round him more closely
and miire affectionately than ewer after his
marriage, not on his account only, but in,
llueneeil also by the attractions - that they
found in the society of his wife - . Her refine•
ment an.clgentlent - ss ot manner; her extra•
ordinary _itecomplishtnentsmll-a lmusioinn ;
her unvarying sweetness of temper, and her
quiet:, winning womanly intelligence in con
versation, charmed every one who approach
her. She'was quoted as a model wife
woman by all her husband's friends, m
amply deserved the character they ff:
The rector and his wife had lived'/
without, as I honestly believe, a hai
or an nit kitul look once passed bettyi
for upward of two years, when Mu
took his first step toward the fatal fu
. •
was awaiting . hint by devoting hi,
.
hours to the apparently sintplettnd
tairctipation of writing a pamphlet,.
'lle had been connected for many yearn
with one of our great Missionary Societies,
anal had taken ac active a part as a,country
clergyman could in the manromment of its
ILIFIIII'd. At the period of whirl, I speak, ker•
fain influential-members ut the society had
propose a plati bar greally'extending the
sphere of its occupations. t
The project, as usual in such cases, split
the working members of the society into two
parties g .one party cautiously objecting to
run any,,rislis, the other hopefully declaring
that the venture was a safe one,and that
success was surd to attend it. Mr. Carling
sided enthusiastically with the members who
espoused this latter side of thh question, and
the object of his pamphlet was to address
the subseribers to the society dirthe subject.
He had worked him] tat his pamphlet, and
had got more than half way through it, when
.1m found himself brought to a stand still for
want of certain facts which had been pro•
dueed ouThe discussion of the question eight
years since, and which were necessary to the
•
full and fair statement of the case.
At first lie looked back to his own Diary,of
the period to see if ho had made any notes in
it relating to the edgiest di,cussion of the
affair. lie found a note refereieg in general
terms only to the rr atter in hand, but alluding
at the end to it report in the 'l'i/in's of the pro
ceedings of a deputation from the society
which had waited on a member of the govern
ment of that day, and to certain letters to the
editor which had followed the publication of
the report, The note described these letters
as "very important," . and Mr. Carling felt as
he put his Diary airily. again, t hat the success
fel conclusion of his pamphlet now depended
on his being able to get access to the back
number of the Times of eight. years since.
After considering-for it little while and at
riving at no positive conclusion, he left the
study, anti went into the drawing•roote to
emiselt his wife..
Ile found her working industriously by the
blazing tire. She loalted -so happy anti com
fortable—so gentle and charmingin her pret-,
ty little lace cap, and her wa rn brown morn•
ing dress With its bright cherry colored ri))L
bons, and its delicate swan's,down trimming
cirking rotted her neck and nestling over her
bosom, dud he stooped and kissed her with
the tendeimess of his bridegroom days befdre
he'speice.—When he told her of thecausethat
had suspended his literary occupation, she
listened, with the sensation of the kiss still
lingering in her downcast eyesnnd.her smiling
lips, until he came to the subject of biti Diary
and its reference to the newspaper.
As he mentioned the name of the, Times,
she altered and looked him straight in. the
face gravely.
"Can you suggest any plan, love," he went
on, "which may save me the necessity of a
journey to Lo don at:this bleak• time of the
year? have this informa
tion, and, so far as I can see, Londrin is the
only plane nt which I can • hope to meet with

Both hUsband and wife had a dlnoe'r en

his patient should be lef t to her Maid's care,

Yielding to this advice, Mr. Carling did his
best to suppress his own ttnxitt i and neat,

Ainci»g the guests whom the - rector net
was a single gentleman named- 'lambert, al

the neighborhood of Penliddy as the owner
of n noble country-seat and the possessor of
a magnificent library. -
, Mr. Rtimbert (with whoM Mr. Carling was
-well acquainted) greeted him' at the dinner,
party with friendly expressions of regret at
the time that 11101 elapsed since they had last
seen each other, and mentioned that he had
recently been adding to his collection of
books, some rare old volumes Of flfeology,
_which he thought the rector might find use•
ful to look oyer. Mr, Cal-liner, with the nec
essity of finisning, his pamphlet upperinost
in his mind, replied, jestingly., that the spe
cies.ol litertiture he was just then
most interested in - examining happened to
lie precisely of the sort which (excepting nov
els, perhaps) had least affinity to the theolog
ical writing. 'The necessary explanation-fol.
lowed this avowal as a matter of course, and,
to Mr. Carling's great delight, his Mead turn

and sat Isl . :tem:ly of answers:—

croaked and loosely knotted, and the direcr

of being in the middle of the paper, was awk

However, his business was with the inside of

He soon found it,-with the report of the

husband had been needlessly frightened by a
hysterical paroxysm.—lf she did not get bet

tried. In the menu time, there was not the
least cause for alarm.
Ou ihe next day she was quieter,, but she
hardly spoke at all.. All night she slept well,
and Mr. Carling's faith in the medical man re
vived again.
The morning after was the - morning which

were put on the table.. •
It was not the footman who had opened the

Palmy eharacteis whose 'names are familiar in

by the "Old Folks at Home," who had invited
a goodly number of the friends of "Auld Lang

abroad. It would be quite impossible for ins
TO describe every individual member of the
company, so I will confinernyself to the most
prominent. "Rory O'Moore" was easily dis-.
"titignished by his jolly, good-natured face,
and his manner of "lazing" the girls. Ho
shortly, however, led a. number of his coun

lie assured Gitlin "There's Whisk) in the Jug."
I knew "Old Uncle Ned" as soon as I saw him
scratch his bald bead with his cane-brake fin
gers, as ho smiled, his toothless gums, wholly
inadequate_ for the hoe cake, confirmed my
previous impression. The spruce darkey who
followed • hint, ogling "Lucy Long" through •
an eye-glass, could be no other than "Dandy
Jim of Caroline." "Tile Bold Soldier Boy" •
came strutting along; brandishing "The Sword
of Bunker 11111" inns audacious mariner, and
the "Minstrel returned train the "Wars" fol
lowed after, sweeping the melancholy strings
of "The Harp that once through Tarra's Halls
the soul of music shed." "Old Dog Triy"
barking fiercely at the door proclaimed "Some
body... 4 Coming," in marched "tinkee Doo
dle,' wrapped in the "Star. Spangled Banner,"•
anti leading by the hand a fair damsel known
es "COIUMIIis. the Gem of the Ocean." A halo

Mr. Doodle, and kept a bright eye oil the
young lady,(wlto was doubtless a telation of
his on her father or Mother's side., Quito a
sensation was produced-rat the announcement
—"The Campbells are Coming," and all the
