that we've not the opportunity to discover for

she is intimate, but with none of us.
"Tell Margaret I wish to speak to her."
The girl accordingly left the room to obey the
order; and her master, leaning back upon the
pillow, was immediat ely involved in a labyrin
' this. nein of thought. Mrs. Bennet! the name'
was not familiar, but the face and the tones of
the voice were. A seamstress! She had been
recommended by his wife's relations in that ea
pacity—so said the girl—bat since her entry in
to the establishment had devoted her time en
tirely to himself. There was smell kindness in
that—was there not affection? Being a seam.
stress she was consequently dependant upon her
own labors for a livelihood. But what of that?
,
Life is full of changes, and to be poor redeem no
disgrace. Louis Philippe, a king and the weal
: thiest of mon, wad once obliged to teach an hum
ble school in America for a living Reverses in
life are daily occurring, and those w ho :ire now roll
ing along in the luxury of a carriage, may Boon
be begging fur bread. Such most likely wan the
case of Mrs. Bennet—she bad experienced a re-
I verse; her manner and conversation avouched it.
i The outline of her face, the high forbead and the
soft blue eye, resembled his late wife's, but there
I the likeness ended. Mrs. Bennet'a smooth dark
hair, so modestly retiring beneath the snowy
whiteness of her cap, corresponded not with Ju
lia's auhttru curls, nor the almost spiritual pale
ness of her cheeks with Julies mantling bloom.
Besides she looked older than Mrs. West.
Ells thought* were here interupted by the en
trance of Margaret, the housekeeper, whom he
had sent for—.an old woman who had been in
the service of his father before Theodore was born
anti who was considered more as a relative of the
faintly than a hireling At the period of Mr.
and Mrs. West's domestic differences, she was
the only one of the household who sympathised
with the
ed upon having seperate sleeping apartments,
sho took the liberty of remonstrating against it,
and even went so far as to upbraid him with in
justice After the departure of Mrs. West, the
others would throw it up to Margaret as a con
firmation of guilt, but the old woman would not
hear to it, and on all occasions faithfully defen
ded the character of her former mistress. When
asked by any one her reasons for thus insisting
on the innocence of her master's wife her excla
mation would Is.--Guilty! she guilty! no—she
timi good, too antialilt!"
••Well, Nlargaret, - raid 37r. West, as she en
tered the room, asking her some trifling ques
tion as a matter of form. and desirous of humor
ing Ler old age bet' , r, he ventured upon the
subject for which he expressly wanted her. Tac
iturnhy was by no means a quality of hers, and
when pleased she was talkative enough Old
maids are generally starched stiff and formal,
preense in everything they do or say, and a the
age of fifty and upward 4, with as many wrinkles
in the face as there are crimples in the Elizabeth

th;ngs; the was hale happy and bustling; her

"I am s. , a I think yet i ," was the reply she

to live with your father; I've outlived him
and your mother these fifteen years, and if I
survive them until next fall I shall be nifty•

"You way orttlive me kw," said the invalid,
bruding.
"I ho pw not," replied she seriously. "Your
parents I followed to the grave, your sweet lit•
tle daughter too, arid your wife is now
Ah, sir you have loot a treasure in her that you

"Died for me: , She has, Margaret, she has!

of, and till the last moment of my existence
shall I repent in the bitterness of my heart."
-I Always told you that she was innocent."
-You did—but I would not believe it; and
now alas'. it is too late to repair the injury done!
She sleeps—not in these arms as once sbe did,
but iu the sleep of death—the long cold silence
of an ocean-grave, to walk on earth no more:"
After giving utterance to these words, he lay
imek upon his pillow for several moments with
out speaking; and Margaret, wider the impres.
!don that he was desirous of repose, advanced to
the door and was about leaving the room, but
Mr West motioned her to remain; and after a
second intermission of silence, asked if she did
not think there was a strong resemblance betwen
Mrs Bennet and his late lamented wife.
„ Why—yes--there is a likeness,” said Mar
garet. "I had not observed it before, bat now
`that you speak of it, I think she does look some
thing like the portrait in the drawing room
But Mrs Benuet has got dark hair, and she's
%,:ry pale too; my mistress yon know bad light
hue, and always a high color."
"Yes but still the resemblance is great; so
much ~o, that I am on the tiptoe of curiosity, as
it were, and anxious to know more about her.—
Shc seems far above her preset situation in life,
' and from what I have already seen of her, I am
satisfied she has hitherto moved in a higher
phtre than in the humble orbit in which she
nuw revolves What do you know of herr'
"Me:" exclaimed Margaret. "Why, what
should I know of her? There was some linen to
be made up, and she was recommended here as a
seamstress—l know that."
To this followed successive questions and an
imen. Were not the replications returned by
Margaret equivocal? Mr. west gave it no thought
and of course did not mispeet they were, but
t merely considered it her usual odd way, which
it wa.i, indeed, very similar too. Finding he
WWI not able to gain any further information, he
dropped the subject, and Margaret afterwards
left toe apartment. Still Mr. West's curitn.ity,
or rather his impatient desire to be acquainti
with the pa.,t history of the seamstress, was not
abated but sharpend b y the obstacles it incur.

though the movement astonished Mr. West, he
did not attempt to follow her. His thoughts
were in a kind of reverie, and leaning back on
his seat, he suffered his mind to indulge in it,
whilst his eyes wandered over the shadowy scene,
till the twilight rendered it aim and the dark
ness of night entirely hid it from his view.
"Why, bless me, girl, you are weeping," said

tone: I have hoard it before! and hark—that

There, at the piano, was indeed Julia—hi, long
lout wife restored to his arms:
Little remains to be told. In the ferocity of
his revenge, Byard had asserted that Mrs. West
was dead—murdered by himself We have al
ready seen that this was an untruth. The f•cts
were briefly thus: After she was on b oard of
the schooner the villain harrassed her continual
ly with his nefarious purpose—so rudely at times
that she was constrained to shriek out. Her
shrieks were heard by the seamen c imposing the
crew, who mentioned it to the captain with fre
quent remoostrance•. He at first pretended to
i be perfectly unaware of it; said that he had not
I heard it—that he would look into it The lady
and gentleman were merely passengers, he said;
man and wife, for all that he knew; a private
' quarrel perhaps; at any rate he would see into
the matter The shrieks however were repeated,
the crew reiterated their remonstrances, and the
, captain, who was in the pay of Byard, called
tut.m mutinous dogs, threatning to represent
' 'le in as such to the government if they did not
hush "I know my own business: mind yours
Nevertheless the sal, ire were not intimid tied by
. his menaces, and eoming.to the conciii-ion 'hat
it was their duty to rescue the young lady, wh ,
aver she was, they one night, whilst Byard and
the captaiu were asleep in their berths, seised
them an I effectually secured t'iem with hand

i immediately dinelesed to the consul, who lucki
ly proved to be one of Julia's near relations.—
' However, at her earnest request, there was no
publicity made of it, the captain and Bayard
were set at liberty, the sailors rewarded, and the
i atfair hushed. Julia remained with the consul

Widowers should look out for breakers. Ab
salom Nippers was a widower, and one of the
most particular men in the world. When his
wife was alive he used to dreg as common as a
field hand, and didn't Use to take pains with
himself at all. Everybody knows how he spruc
ed up about six weeks alter Mrs. Nipper's death,
and bow he went to church regular every Ban_
day, but people did not have much confidence in
his religion, and used to say be went to church
to show his new suit of mourning, and to look at
the gals
With such a character among the wimmin, it
ain't to be supposed that he - stood any chanoe of
getting another Mrs. Nippers near home; and
whether he was as bad to his first wife or not, one
thing was attain, he bad to go abroad for one to
fill her place.
Mr. Nippers was very lucky to find a p 1 just
to his mind, that lived about ten milCs from his
place.
Nancy Parker was rich, though she wasn't
very young or handsome. she belonignd to Mr.
Nipper's church, and sui ted his eye exactly, so
he set to courtie her with all his might.
Ten milts, was a good lung ride, and as he was
an economical mau. be used to ride over to Mr.
Parker's plantation every Suudy morning to go
to church with the family, take dinner with
them, and ride bark in the cool of the evening.
A ride over a dusty road is apt to spoil a man's
dry goods. and make him and his horse very ti
red. However, Mr Nippers didn't mind the fa
tigue as mach as his horse; but in a matter such
as he had on hand it was imp 'Kant that he should
make as good an impression as possible, so he
adopted a plan by which he could present him
self before the object of his affections in order,
with his Sunday coat as clean, and his blaomin t ;
rnffles as fresh and neat as if they had just come
out of a band-box
This was a happy expect t, and nobody but
a widower lover would think of it. Ile used to
start from home with his new coat and shirt
tied up in a pocket handkerchief, and after rid
ing within a quarter of a mile of Mr. Parker's
plautatio he would turn off into a thicket
bushes, fad there make his regular toilet.
One bright Sunday morning, Mr. Nippers had
arrived at his dressing ground It was an im
portant occasion. Everything was promising,
and he bad made up his mind to pop the ques
tion that day. There wks no doubt in his mind
but he would return home an engaged man, ..nd
he was reckoning over to himself the value of
Miss Nancy's plantation and negrocs, while sit
ting un his horse making his accustomed change

of more importance than usual, as the =fortu

whom vengeance was sworn 'at the time.
Soon after he received the reward, (16,000,)
which the Government offered for the eeptare of
Lopez, he went to Spain, kissed the Queen's hind
and received the honored croon of disci:reties, for
his gallantry, and has bat lately returned. He
