Street and his companion had been.
gone about three weeks, When a letter,
repeated from _Hampshire; was receiv

certificate of ate death stated that Ann,
wife of Tracy ShapcOtt, Esquire, died
of •anettrism.•
,_The letter, -which Was
signed. Philip Street, was brief and busi,
ness-like. • The writer stated that-1K :
in' no 'tie left that bound him to Eng

America. He respectfully asked Mr.

of doing so with comfert and a prospect
of success in the New World, for the
sake of her who Ibad' been so untiteely
cut off. It was added, that whateVer
Mr. Shapcott intended to give, if any
thing, which of course was . quilt . op
tional with him, ought to be forwarded
at once,'as he, Philip Street; intended
sailing by the next packet, whether or
not_ . . •
" It would be absurd to suppose that
the letter and enclosure. did not afford
Tracy .Shapeott inexpressible relief.
He is also a very generous as well as
rich Iliall, and under those , combined
influences, he, by the same day's post,

Able to the order of Philip Strek."
LL-Without inquiring whether the
certificate of death was genuine orliot?"
" Without making any iffifuiry. Rut
the certificate of death was genuine
enough, as far as the official registry
was concerned; there is no doubt about
that. Moreover, the simple fact that
by the woman'stleath the live hundred
per, annum ceased to 'be payable re
pressed suspicion." '
" That is true, sir. I have carefully
noted all the points. You will give
me a list of dates."
" Yes ;. a clerk shall make an accu

The young lady was the only child of

liingularly happy one ay to its four
teenth honeymoon. Then thunder fell.
Mr. and Mrs. Tracy Shapcott were
sitting at dessert with a few friends at.
I., the house in Portland Place, When the
post brought a letter bearing the Lynd
hurst mark, and marked in strong un
derlined words—IMMEDIATE. Most'
MIPORTA T. The letter was from Mr
Shapcott's butler at Beech Hall, and
announced that Philip Street' and his
stepdaughter, Mrs. Tracy Shapcott,
were returned to their old pbice of
abode. He, • the butler, Mr. Fowler,
the surgeon and hie assistant, bad Peru
the woman, who was still very ilr, al
most bedridden, and there could be no
manner of doubt it was really
. Mrs
Shapcott. Philip Street stoutly denied
that he had, ever written to Mr Tracy
Shapcott upon any subject, and said
he should not perhaps have. left the
place in Cumberland where he had
lived since he left HampSlcie, but that
not having received a draft fbr the two
hundred and fifer pounds due on the
annuity, he thought perhaps Mr Tracy
meant to shirk (nit of the obligation,
and had-come to see aboi4 it. He had

annuity, five hundred pounds, in ad

against Street. The Liverpool clerk
who had cashed the thousand pounds

was not the man who presented. it, and
the registrar Was equally positive lie
was not the husband of the woman that
oflicer saw lying dead, and Who was
described to him as Ann, wilt; of Tracy
'Shapcott„ Esquire. AlLthat ,was of

- It was Sunday evening, a consider
able number of village rustics were
chistered round the bar, and the inner
rooms
. were ringing with their noisy
mirth. After an immense deal of.bawl

added Tom; "I've seen some a dad. 'd

as deaf." Upon which" one of the com
pany remarked that talking of being
deaf -as a- post-, that feller must be• as

laugh. Tom laughed, to ), thinking it
was at a shy young fellow who had

" Never, never mind, boy," said Tom,'

The eveningV'result was that I had
made a favorable impression upon the

there and then christened 'Deaf Daw

up into the loft a hundred people in and

Free • from the smoke of

PHYSICKING CUFF)) WITH SENNA:—
A dear old lady at Brighton, (England)
who has a finishing school' for young
ladies, finds- her great trouble is the
propensity of her Pupils to fall in love.
"My only she says; "where I
see that the tender passion has been
developed, is to crush it in . the bud."
-What- do• you-do-?"
where I tell you, for my receipt is the
antithesis of romance. It is a' dose of
senna tea. "Senna tea 7" , Yes Buda
teat Whenever I perceive—as I
quickly do—that one of my young
ladies - has fallen (as she fancies) into
love, I at once take her into hand.—
I ne - ver hint
_at anything !connected
with the tender passion, bat I treat her
as- au - nvalidr-w-ho—is—suffering—from
impaired digeition. I keep her closely •
to the house, and dose her liberally
with senna tea, standing by to see that
she drains the dose to the dregs. -,This
plan is always attended with success.
Sometimes she gives in after the first,
few doses.; but usually it takes two v or
three days to complete the cure' I
had one obstinate and protraere'd case
that ,lasted a whole week ut I was
firm to my plan, and imthe end it suc
ceeded. You may dy..p'end upon it that,,
as a cure for a 110001-girl's- calf love,
there is nothing like senna tea."
