I asked. 'Over in the public-house, he con tinued, 'tipsy; and, because I cried, lie beat me-' and hero the poor lit Jo fellow, putting down his hands, ,howed me his eye most frightful y Ct. My first impulse was to go over to ;he public-house; but, reflecting for in instant on the state of those I had ust left, I immediately went my ;elf and purchased such ready dres ;ed food as I thought would siffice 7or a good meal; and then, having iad the child's wound properly at :ended to, J returned to enjoy the usury of seeing this starving family yomparatively happy and comfurta. )le. When I took my departure I eft what money J had about me, and >romised to renew my -visit before it hould be e:bausted. It was my intention to have ;one in a day or two; but the follow ing circumstance prevented my do ng so for a whole week. On the next morning early I vas sent for by an old gentleman vith whom I was on terms of great ntimacy, although our acquaintance vas not of Jong standing. Ile was bxtrcmely ill, and wished to make a lisposition of his prop.er-ty.. I took pen, and waited for his instructions. 'I give and bequeath,' said the nvalid., all monies, houses, lands, ad whatsoever else I may die pos esseI of., to' lie paused, as if onsidering. Suddenly hia coun enance indicated a stro;g internal trmggle, as if bitter recollections ame upon him., which he was letermined to discard. I put down ny pen. 'Go on, sir! go ord' said he, hur 10 ilv. -','o-to Ihenry Masters-' I,sTrted with r.stonslhment. It 'You cannot uen thia., air'' said 'I have no claim upon you to uch an extent.

Child! 0h, yes! 1 know it; but I ad forgotten it until this hour. For* rears I have forgotten it! Why hink of itnow? I will not think of !' lie exclaimned violently; then fal inl, back, and exerting extraordinary elf-control, lie again repeated more lecisively than .efore, 'to Ilen y Masters.' I could not bear to write down vords that vould sent out a child orever without another effort: I ommenced in a persuasive m.anner; mnt lie instantly interrupted me; and tis look and tone I shall not read ly forget. 'Sir, said le, 'j made up my nind on the most important part of his matter years ago, wben I had icalth, and strength, .and intellect hout me. It i not honest to try and nake we waver now .tha~t I am an obeei~le old man.' I could say no more, Uce again epeated his instructions, and I ire uc-tantly obeyed -them. For some days I was his constant' ttendant; indeed I scarcely ever left his bedside. Occasionally his mind vandeired, and then hiis mutterings hr they were little .bette-had mvideutly .connection with his last ra ion al conversation-the (disposition >f his property. -Bitter exclama ions about his child-his daught. ~r, plainly showed that, though dis wned, she was not, and could not e .forgotjena. Once or twice lhe be ~ame calm and perfectly collected, don each oQpportunity I ,endeavo ed to bring him to a reconsideration if the step he had taken.; but in 'ain, A was the only subject upon vhich lie would not hear inc. I earped from the physician in at endanco .that his recovery was per. 'cctly hopeless; but that lie might ingecr some little ,time. I longed o see may poor dependants again, mid, one mnorning when .my patient ad fallen inato a deep slumber, J ook my hat, and, qwietly stealing 'rem_ the chamber, udirected my ootsteps to their abode. T1hie famn ly wore in a state little better than when I ;(irst saw them. Tfh wo nan's husband, a reckless and in eCraLte rinkard, judging fronm the ood he founid ab honmo ,that from mel quarter of hthe~r, sistanco hpd his trembling partner, and ther nearly the whole of the little money ] had left behind; since which violence he had not returned, Again I sup plied the poor creatures with re freshment, and attempted to soothe the only one whom food could not alone satisfy- the heartbroken moth, er. She brie0y told me her story. It was indeed a piteous one. She was well connected; and, at the time of her marriage, living with her parents in comfort and afllucncc in New York. They wished her to connect herself with a man with whom she felt she never could be happy, and she refused. She was secretly plighted to another,-se cretly, for he was forbidden even her father's house! Her father com manded, her mother persuaded; but it was in vain. Her's was a passion that neither threat nor argument could weaken. She married, and was renounced, they told her, for 2ver! She turned to the chosen of her heart; and, though the daught. r wept, the wife triumphed! But las! she leant upon a broken reed. Hler love had glossed over faults nay, vices-which calmerjudges had rleteeted, and she had fancied per Fection where all was frail. Ucr hnsband cruelly 4eglected; her; she was a married widow! Children ame about -her; they were father. ess! her mother tenderly loved ter, and this wretchedncs brokeiir ieart! Her father was of sterner ;tuff. In tho loss of his own partner, le said, a murder hd been com nitted, and he .doqbly steeled him ielf against its unnatural author. 'hen it was that in utter despair she eft her country, long urged to the itep by her husband, who said he oul get employment here; and who ;olemnly proinised that in. a new A3'T i '-. C . .. . .A .-r lint, once removed from his iautia >f ruin and dissipation, he would 'orawear them for ever, and strive to (ecp holy that sacred -vow which )OUnd him to 'forsake all others, and ,ling only unto her.' On his arrival in England he suc leeded in obtaining a lucrative situ Ition, and for a brief period all was vell; but soon the dcmon, Drunkcn less, again had hold upon hiu, and eo was lost forever. Friendless, and alone, she strug .led against the stream of adversity; ter health and strength soon failed ier, and she fell into utter destitu ion,-in utter destitutio.n I had in Iced found her! This was a slight outline of her -ad history. At its conclusion she murst into a violent paroxysm of :cars. i1 stvtch moeien.td words of ,onsolation are but caustics, keep n" open wounds they cannot cure: I itteuipted them not. The violence X this fit had in some degreo ex austed itself, aund I was about to ;peak of doing something for her -hildren, when a knocking at the loor, accompanied by several voices alking in a suppressed tonec, made ne start from my scat. I undid le hatch, and three men entered, carinig in their arms *a fourth ini a tenseles3 state. They laid their burden on the lor with but little ceremony, and wvould have departed without a word. 'Stay!' said X, seiyzing the arm of >nc of' tdhe party. 'Who is this? and what is the matter?' 'It is uty husband!' my poor hius bandl!' exclaimed the wretched wife, springing forward. 'Yes; and drunk as usual!' added the man in a brutal manner as he slammred the door aller him. I east hut one look at the face of the lost being at my feet. It was enou gh: distortion w~as in every feat. are! 'F"or .God's sake!' said T, purs'uing rnd comning up with the party who had just left us, 'fetch me a medical man. Ilere is money; and I will pay you better by and by.' Money made thtem Samar itans lthey hurried ofl' to obey me. I re tur'ned. .On the floor, and in a state of' insensibility, lay stretched tho long..neglecting, degraded hus. band; and, hanging over- him in ill the agony of'.doubt and fear', the n egleected, longenduring wife. It was a picture that touched me te the quick. 'Ihenry! IHenry!' she shrieked. Oh! apeakc to me! speak! but one word! But. L~o snoan not- hi moni w'm frightfully distorted; his lips lived and frothy. 'Look at me!' she continued, pres aing his hand; 'look iAt we! and she spoke with a winni-g affection of tone and manner, thuA the conscious. ness could not have withstood; but his ears were scaled, and his eyes full and fixed, A surgeon now catne in; he looked at him, and, having modo some in. quiries as to the length of time lie had been in the state he saw, at once pronounced his fe.ars for the very worst. He immediately bled him in the arm, and as quickly as possible cupped hin frebly in the neck. During the Itter operation his patient showed for an instant some signs of returning feeling, and this, by the look with whici he gazed upon his agoiised wife. To attempt to describe that look would be attemp ting that to which no language is equal. I think no pencil could have ever done it, wuch less a pen. It was one which told that the vision of hia past life, concentra ted, flashed suddeniy before him; a life during which slie who was his ministoring angel had been a victim to cruelty and neglect: there was an intensity of gaze, 1oo, as he felt that lie was looking his last. It was a lingering spark of qtion strug gling into light throng ,'ark her rors of remorse. Agi 'nd again she breathed comfort and reconcilia tion into his ear. I know not whether her' words reached his heart. I fear that with the excep. tion of that one momentary gleam of reality, there was a- prostration of power and intellect whc i denied him such a blessing.

Why did my words hurry rapidly on another as I questioned her as- to the Chrislain name? and why, when I learnt .t was Adam Adam .Jackson-did my frame trem ble, my countenancc change its hue, my heart beat audibly? 'Oh, God!' said I, inwardly, 'if is should be so!' in my still weeping companing, and the ltl elwwo a is seen, dsrdthe n an to drive to Mortimier srecet It' was the resi dlence of my dying friend. 'Showv ing" the mothe and her child into a room below, I hurrted up stairs to his bed .chember. I had already been absent several hours longer than I had Intended. When I drew aside the curtain, the old man turn ed his eyes towards mc; they were deep, sunken and glarsy; his features angular and emaciate~d as they had bee, wre now perfeely ghastly. I was painfully struck'- with the ad vancesi wich (heath, had made .to wardls his victim. My friend looked stacdfastly at mec for some minutes avithout any to. ken or sign of recognition.

She spoke in anguish of he little ones-her helpless little ones and I laughed, at her misery. StilL she praye4 on; she bathed my feet with tears; she lifted her hands, and would have touched me, but I shrunk fropn her advances, and heartlessly commanded her to be gone! Her voice was suddenly stilled: I.hcard no sob, no sigh! I listened; but could not even detect the heavy breathings of sorrow. For an in stant I remained wrapped ip glooiny and unrelenting anger. I turned to gratify once more the devil that was in me: but she was gone! I sought for and called alound upon my wife; but she too had departed;' There the old man paused; then placing his hand upon my shoulder, so as to bring my half avqrted fape towards him, f You tremble;, sAid he, 'you tremble and turn pail?' It was so; in spite of cvery effort to appear composedI could not com mand my feelings. I was about to speak. He put his finger oni his lips as enjoining silence, and -continued. ,You are alre.ady Affecte.d; you will shudder when yop havoehear.d me out. I thopght that inmediate. ly on being loft alone - was seize.d th an ieyhillness,'w hround for help' but could find none 1 pmed for some hand to assist, sol e. voice to comfort me in my dying hour; but I prayed in va'i. I heard but tike echo of my own la inentationo; and was left to go down to the grave unheeded and alone Again he paused; and go great were his excitemejt and agitation, that I little expected he had strength to resume; but, after some minutes he did so, and in these words: 'I awoke; but in another world or rather, when this world Ii. passed away. Aq I rose from the Aonb, bput one thought, one feeling p.oases sed me; I was going to be judged. Every thought, word, and action- of my life had shared my resurrection, and stood palpable embodied before me-a living picture. My last in tervew with my child was the dar kest spot ther.e. I shuddered as I beheld it. I strove, but oh! how vainly, to blot it out! An all con suming fire was already lighted up within me, in the horrible conviction that this, even in its naked self, would endanger my salvation for .ev er! .Suddenly a sound such as mortal ear had never heard be fore, burst on the trembling myriads aroundl. It was a sound that filled all creation, calling all those who had ever been to lbe again, and to wait the word .that should bless, or sweep them into endlless perdition. Mil lions upon millions had passed on in juidge~rment; and I thought that trem bling I approached the throne of grace! Mercy smiled upon me! and I looked with staring eyes after those forgiven spirits who had gone before. I was about to follow, when a witness camne against me, at wl~ose presence, conscience ctrickcn, I fell prostrate in despair! My daughter my spurned and persecuted daugh ter? No voico of accusition was heard? No look of reproach from her? Yet silent and motionless, de jected and wan, as when I had last beheld ther, she told of .the early or-, phanago into which she was striken by my unnatural desertion! the des. titution wh ichi my savage yengenco had enitailcd! I trembled under the weight of these awful charges. .2 tried to lift my .eyes to my child to~ win her intercession; but I had no power to move them from myself. I tried to speak; my tongue clove to my mrouth. Jhow--how could I plead ,for- mercy who had yielded none? Pressed on by thronging: crowds yet behind, .I advanced as if to orter that blessed path wuich the: happy trod; but suddenly it was Nr red against me!

Almost immediately afterwards he fell back on his pillow, perfcetiy ex hauste4. Angious ps I was tp speak to him once more, to ask hin but one question-to satisfy my more than surpuises, I q6uld not.4rcd not do it, ashe then was, I ,wathed, oh! how eagerly, to see his eyes open, his lips move, tpit I mighit address myself to hi;n, but he lay in . state of cOplete stupor: I trembl.w as i gazed, lisihe might never move again.

With this fear upon my zmind, I determined at once upon hurrying down stairs' and satisfying myself in a more direct wdy than I had at first intended, aWh-- I entered the room in which I had left the widow and her child, I found the former sitting on the sofa, her Ilite buried in her hands-the boy was at her feet. As I approached she looked up: immpediately on percieying mC she .eeDaimed, andi her voiee trem bled with grief ind agitation, 'For God's sake, sir! where ant I ?' Whose house is this?' then seized a book from the table, she coaminued, 'this book was my father's! it was his own Bible! Here is his name. written years past by my (-wn hand.' And turning to theifirst page, on which was inscribed 'Adam Jackson, New York,' she held it to my eyes, stan.dir:g mo tionless as - statue - Conirmed 'tus sudenly in the.sus ithat had crossed my mind on Iir'st hearing her history and name, I was so bewildered, that I knew tint what reply to make. I feared to tell her pt .opee that shte .wias uinder her fathers roof; that the~ same walls incos. ed them, l'est, in her' debilitated state, it might prove too much; .l could not be evasive, fur her wihole being seemt ed to hang ogi the explanation she waited for. Tlortur'ed by my sileclce, shie sei'zed my wrist violently and repeated in a loud antd ,menacing tone, while her wild and :haggard look betokened inei ilienit madness, 'Whose house is this '' 'It is the house,' said / ,mildly, 'of Adam JacKkson.,' 'My fatlier !' she shricked hysteri eally, and fell seniseless At my feet. After .considerable difficulty I re stored her to comparative calmness; I was then compelled to) explaint to her thte situationt of her palren't ,without disguigje, .for at fir'st, she izmparatiyely insisted .on seeing hmi.
