Emily and John Williams were, the only ehil
drew of a wealthy New York merchant. They
Lid been reared indulgently, and received an ex
cellebt education. John was a tine youngiellow
twenty two; had choeitu the profession of wed
,sud was preparing to graduate at the
Spring' cointnencetneut. Emily was somewhat
' of a :Toiled beauty, just entering her nineteenth
year Indulgent:cc had rendered her a hula self
waled, and - adulation had made her a little vain
and capricious i--but sbe was, notwithstaading,
girl of hog feelings, amiable disposition, and

hair, and piercing dark eyes, classic features, a
finely cut mouth, and teeth of pearly whiteness,
abe bad reigned the belle of two season, and then
plighted her baud to George Realriak, a astoba l p
of hie) standing and reputed wealth.

B. I. ('um
Renwick was about thirty years of age; a man
of acknoviledged talent and enterprise, with a
haodsome'face and manly form Ilia manners
were bland and insinuating, his bearing graceful
and easy, and his address fluent and polished
Whether tame affection or more interested mo
tives iodated him to urge his suit to Emily, we
need not ,say here ; suffice It that, with warm
feelings and a trusting
nature, she was easilly
won. The match was sanctioned by the parentx,
and the day fixed for the marriage was only Imo
months distant from the period at whictiour
story opens.
When Emily re-entered the parlury'she ap
proached her brother, who was readik by the
fire, and to • voice musically coaxi, said ;
'Come, brother mine, put op jour book ; I
have carved out an adventure fur you
John raised his eyes inquiringly, and she pro
ceeded—
"I saw a girl in Broadway to , day, with one
of the sweetest faces you emu imagine ; but she
looked so poor and sad and cold, that my heart
bled fur her. Hut what is wore, her featuriw
seemed familiar to me lam almost sure, John,
I have met the girl somewhere in good society "
"Suppose you have," interrupted John, what
then ?'!
"Why, likely it is dome old acquaintance of
our', reduced to want ; and, if so, what better
purpose can I devote this too"—drawing
_from
her bosom a purse well tilled with silver, and
placing it in her brother's hand—"and what get
ter use can you make of your afternoon,
than by being wy missionary
"But how the deuce am l to tied your poor
girl with the sweet Lee inqUired her broth
er.
"Oh, I am pretty certain she sews at. Mad•
am G 's, for I saw ber in that neighbor
hood "
"An adventure, verily;" exclaimed John, with
a laugh; "to think of sending me running ■ft'r
poor sewing girls with pretty faces : A pretty
dangerous adventure that, 1 should say !"
"In sober earnest, John, I want you to find
out this girl, and offer her relief from me, if stir
should bo in neeti of it
"In sober earnest, then, my silly mist, r, sup
pose I should find her, do you think that eveu a
p.m sewing girl, of auy sensibility, of modesty,
would take money from a man who is a perfect
stranger ? Why, I couldn't have the impudence
to offer it, for toy motive would certainly be mis
oonstrued ""
Eerily was thoughtful for a few tnottients, and
then replied—
" But you can fiud out who she is, and what
are ber circumstances, brother ; you eau find out
her residence, and you have wit enough to find
come excuse for visiting her parents, if she hag
any
"You are a (pear girl," said John, drawing
her to him, nod fondly kissing her fair cheek ;
"but after all, this strange whim of yours may
afford something of an adventure, so I'll humor
you, for once "
For oar, Ile might have said, for the
thounandth time, forhe was always humoring her
atrangn whims, as be called thew There was

man, who had been attentively regarding the
girl's downcast face, remarked :
"You are beginui , ng, to look badly, Kate, your
work is too confining; it will seriously injure
your health."
"Oh no, cousin," replied the girl, in touce,
the tremulousness of which contradicted her
words ; "I do not feel that my health is it all
affected by it." Then, as if anxious to change
the oonversatioa, she turned to ber mother and
said ; "I saw George Renwick, to day, sleighing
on Broadway, with a lady, in great style."
"Did he see you, toy child !" inquired the
mother.
"Yes," returned the girl, "and appeared very
much confused, for he colored, turned his head
away, and put his horse to full i•peed, as if anx
ious to get out of sight as quick as possible "

"Is it possible, Robert, that we have never

"Quite possible, aunt."
"Well, be is the Tinian who swindled us out of

"Row l" exclaimed the young man ; "what

"No, indeed. The' oircamstanws are these :

"And,did you quietly submit ?" asked the
young an.
"T at 1 did not," replied the old lady; "thirty

but Mr Brainard's private papers could not be

When the old lady ceased speaking, the tears
were trickling down her wan cheeks ; but the
young man had not noticed her last words Ile
bad ceased eating, and fallen into a deep reverie.
After sitting thus for some minutes, be arose,
with nervous baste, and left the room without
speaking.
After the young man bad retired, the mother
and daughter ablated the table, and aat down to
sewing. They had not been long engaged, when
a slight rap was heard at the door on opening
it, John Williams was ushered into the room.—
lie was strtiok by the pale yet beautiful features
of Catharine, and saw that she was greatly in
need of air and exercise lie immediately oom•
meticed a conversation upon the subject which
had brought him to the house.
" Do you not go out to sew, sometimes?" be
mated.
She answered him in the affirmative. He then
asked her if she was willing to undertake some
light work
She replied that she was just out of employ
nit
at at Madam G—'s, and would be glad to
get anything to do.
" Can you call upon my sister, to.inoirow
morning?" asked John.
" Yea, sir," she replied; "where FL*ll I call,
mud at what hoar?"
" At No —Bloeker street, any time awing, the

" Williams "
" What ! Emily Williauta?"
" Yes," said the young gentleman; "yuu know

"but she, doubtless, does not remember

Will you favor me with your name?"
"Catharine Brainard."
" Well, I shall tell my skier you will call in

" Yes, sir "
John now took leave, and hurried hums to
oonicounicate the result of his visit to his
MUM
At twelve o'clock that night the widow and
her ;laughter hail long retired; but the nephew,
unconscious of the lapse of bourn, sat in his
mom, poring over a number of old letters, bill*
and manuscripts which covered his table The
eager attention which he bestowed npon each
paper, the uuu-ual spark le of his eye, and the smile
that played upon his mouth, denoted that his
task was one of no ordinary interest Before

little sum he was able to give her, and the :cauty '

barely to live. Robert had, just a few weeks
prior to aid Little of our story, been admitted to
the bar, and w al daily expecting to tpake an ar.
raugeweut to get into business with some old
practitioner, which would enable him to better
the condition of his aunt and cousin What the
old lady had told him at the table, that evening,
of Renwick's connexion with his uncle, had
made a forcible impression upon his mind
There was au 'O,l fashioned secretary in his room,
au] in examining it, he had discovered a secret
drawer, filled with papers A suspicion flashed
upon his mind that these papers might throw
some light upon his uncle's business He retir

nerd's affairs, and contained evidence that, at
the time of his death, he had possi•ss,:'d a large
amount of property, out of which, it was plain,
Renwick must have swindled the widow
Nearly the whole night was Robert closely
engaged, making himself acquaint3d with tho
contents of the papers, and when, at length, he
threw himself upon his couch, his breast was
thruhting with hope and his head aching with
excitement
When Robert arose, late in the morning, he
found that his cousin was gone to keep her ap
pointment with Emily Williams He'communi
cated to his aunt the discovery of the papers,
and his hopes, and begged her to place the whole
affair in his bands, as her attorney. The old
lady, nearly beside herself with joy, gladly con
sented. Her next thought was to send for each ,
arine, and communicate to her the agreeable lid
inga. This Robert opposed, and advised bin aunt
to keep the affair perfectly secret. He stated
that the recovery of the property would be both
difficult sod uncertain, and that it might be
dangerous to excite in Catliarine's breast hopes,
the disappointment of which would be too great
a shock for her feeble health to bear. The old
lady saw the justice of the remark, and, however
loth, acquiesced in Robert's wishes. The latter
iaiwediately went to work with alacrity to put
matters in train for bringing suit against the
swindler.
Catharine, in the meantime, had met with a
reception frourSmily Williams as gratifying as
unexpected. The latter, as soon as she beard
the name of Catharine Brainard, remembered
her old schoolmate, and, with ber natural kind
ness of heart, strove to make her forget, for one
day, at least, her poverty and her sorrows. She
made her lay aside her sewing 'at Eve o'clock,
and insisted upon her spending the evening with ,
her io the parlor. Here, with . her brother, she
strove to amuse and render the poor girl cheer
ful, and sneeeedel se well, that Chatharine felt
happier than she bad for unary months. She
did not feel embarrassed, am cut of Sam, is
the splendid parlors of the wealthy merchant,
for she had• been - reared in just such splendor,
sad was scarce behind Rosily Williams herself
in education and scoompllsimamma., She bad
that morning arrayed herself la her heat apparel,
which, phial as it was, displayed her defies!e
and graeefut form to idvantage t sad the pleasur

tinge of motor to her cheek,' which aided mob
to, the twenty of her sweet hoe. Her massers,
too, were se easy sad naturit, although nanienar
ing, as if ebe had never moved in any other
spere; and John Williams, in discovering that
she was "danced intelligent, and perfectly love
ly," almost entirely forgot the feet of her being
a sewing girl.
Early in the evening Renwick came in. - His'
surprise at finding Catharine Brainard Emily's
guest, was . manifest enough in his looks to the
former, although it escaped the obgervatiou of
the latter. Re was embarrassed and confused;
and, after sitting a few moments, in uncomfort
able restraint, pleaded an urgent engagement,
and left.
Catharine bad left word at home for her cousin
to call for her at eight o'clock, Accordingly, at
eight o'clock, Robert was ushered in, surprised
to find Catharine enjoying herself in the parlor,
instead of toiling at her needle. lie was intro
ductal to Emily and her brother; but the latter
had met him before, and knew hint .to boa talent
ed student of law, although his at..gusintaucti
with him was but alight.
Emily seemed to have an unusual flow of spirits
upon this occasion. As her brother expressed
it, she was "as merry and playful as a kitten."
She laughed and chatted with Robert Jordan;
played and sang for him, until he caught the
spirit of her vivacity, and became as much at
bowie and familiar as if be had been among old
acquaintances.
To fish the amusement of the evening, she
set her brother to playing the piano, and waltzed
with Catharine until she was giddy
It had been a long time since the cousins had
passed an evening of so much delight; and so
fleetly did the time pass, that, they were both
astonished to hear the clock - strike eleven, when
they scarce thought it nine When they took
leave, Emily accompanied Catharine to the door,
and bidding her good night, with a kis4, slipped
a purse into her hand, and glided blek into the
room, before the grateful girl had time citht r to
refuse the gift, or utter her thauks
As soon as they were out of the house, qath•
gripe burst into tears. Robert utiderstoo4l her
emotion and did not attempt to check it 13y
the time they bad walked a square or two, how"
ever, she became composed, and commenced a
conversation with her cousin upon the ineitieuts
of the day, in the course of which she remark
ed--
