THE MYSTERIOUS WIDOW.

During the summer of 1811, the liritish not only laid claim to all that I portion of the district of Maiue lying cast of Penobscott, but Admiral Griffeti. and Sir John Sherbronl the latter then being the Governor of Nova •Scotia, had been sent with a heavy force to take possession, and occupy the town of Cast inc. which place comiiintids the entrance to the I'enobscott river. Shortly before the arrival of the Knglisb squadron, Commodore

Samuel Tucker had been sent around to lVnobseott. bay to protect the American coasters, and while the Bri(ish sailed up Castiue, he lay at Thomasfon.

It was a schooner that the' Commodore commanded, hut she was a heavy one, well armed and manned and that she carried the true Yankee "grit" upon her decks the enemy had received from them too many proofs. On the morning of the 18th of August, a messenger was sent down from Belfast with the intelligence that the British frigate was coming from Castiue to take him. Tucker knew that the si British feared him, aud that also Sir

John Shurbrook had offered a large amount for his capture. When the Commodore received the intelligence his vessel was lying at one of the low wharfs, where he would have to wait two hours for the tide to set hiui off, but lie hastened to have every thing prepared to get her off as soon as possible, for he had ho desire to meet the frigate.

The schooucr's keel had just cleared from the mud, nd one of the men whad been sent upon the wharf to cast off the bowline, when a wagon drawn by one horse came rattling down to the spot. The driver, a rough looking eountrymun, got out upon the wharf uud then assisted a middle aged woman out of the vehicle. The lady's lirst inquiry was for Commodore

Tucker, lie was pointed out to her, -and she stepped upon the schooucr's deck aud approached him. "Commodore," she asked, "when do you sail from here?" "We will sail right off. us soon as possible, madam." "Oh, thon I know that you will be kind to me," the lady urged in persuasive tones. "My poor husband died yesterday, and I wish to carry his corpse to Wicassot, where he belongs, and where his parents will take care of it." "But, my good woman, I shan't go to Wicasset.'' "If you will only laud me at the mouth of the Sheepscot, I will ask no more. I can easily find a boat there that will t«vke me up." "Where is the body," aked Tucker. "In the wagon," returned the lady, at the same time raising the corner of her shawl to wipe away the tears. "I have sum of money with me, and you shall be well psid for your trouble." "Tut, tut, woman If I accommodate you thoro won't be any pay about it."

The kind hearted old Commodore was not the man to refuse a favor, and though he liked not the bother of taking the woman and her strange accompaniment on board, yet he could not refuse. When be told her that he would do as she bad requested, she thanked him with many tears in her tyes.

Some of the men were sent upon the wharf to bring the body on board. A long buffalo robe was lifted off by the man who drove the wagon, and beneath it there appeared a neat black coffin. Some words were passed by the seamen as they were putting the eoflin on board, which went to show pretty plainly that the affair did not exactly suit them. It may haVe been *but prejudice once in a. while when we consider the stern realities they have to encounter. "Hush, my good men."

well for you and I to overhaul it?" Pshaw you are as scared as a child in a graveyard." "Not a bit. Just hark a bit. That 'oman ain't no 'oman."

The Commodore pronounced the name of his satanic majesty in the most emphatic maimer. "It's the truth, Commodore, I cau sware to it. I purtended there was a spider on her hair, and I rubbed my hand agiu her face. By Sam Ilyde if it wasn't as rough and bearded as a holystone. You see she told me how I'd let the boom gibe if I didn't look out. I knew there wasn't no 'oman there, and so I tried licr. You call somebody to the wheel, and let us go and look at the coffin."

The Commodore was thunderstruck at what he had heard, but with that calm presence of mind that made him what he was, sat cooly to thinking, and in a few moments called one of the men aft to relieve Carter, and then went down to look at the passeugers. The latter had turned in and appeared to be sleeping. Tucker returned and took Carter one side. "No noise now, Carter follow me as though uothrng had happened." "Sartin."

The two approached the main hatch and stooped to raise it. when Dan's hand touched a small ball that seemed to have been pinned up under the afterbreak of the hatch. & "Tis a ball of twine," said hc. "Don't touch it, but run and get a lantern," replied Tucker.

The woman's eye ran over the schooner's deck with a strange quickness, and Carter eyed her sharply. Soou she went to the taffrail and looked over ut the stern boat, and then she came and stood by the binnacle «^ain.

"Look out or you'll gibe the boom," along, then to have got into the boat, uttered the passenger. Carter started and found that the main sail was shivering. He gave the helm couple of strokes aport, aud then cast his eyes again upon the woman, whose features were lighted by the binnacle lamp. ''Thanks, ma'am," said Dan, ••Ha! hold on—why, bless my soul, there's a big spider right ou your hair. No —not there. Here, I'll—ugh!"

This last ejaculation l)an made as he seemed to pull something from the woman's hair, which he threw upon the deck with the ugh above mentioned.

Shortly afterwards the passenger went below, and ere long Tucker came on deck. "Commodore,"said Carter, with a remarkable degree of earnestness in his manner, "is the oman turned in?" "1 rather think so,"said Tucker,

The old Commodore looked sternly in Carter's eyes, and he saw a twinkle of satisfaction gleaming there. He hesitated a moment—then turned away and muttered to himself. "Well, well—I can't blame them.

He talks about the honor of the government aud a financial policy, aud is one of the most zealous advocates of the tariff system which taxes the I whole country for the benefit of New

England Manufacturers. It is a system which proclaims that those manufacturers arc paupers, and cannot live unless money be wrenched by the taxgatherer from other classes for their support, while at the same time it claims that the manufacturers are public beuefactors. and are contributing greatly to the growth and prosperity of the country. Tt is a system which the best men of the republican party have denounced as an outrage.

Morrill is one who thinks the honor of the country demands that the bondholder? of New England shall be paid twice as much as is due them, and

for the prisoner he was gone. "Carter, where's the villain I lashed here last night "I'm sure I don't know where he is, Commodore. Perhaps he's jumped overboard."

He thinks the honor of the country demands that two millions of people in New Eugland shall have S9G,000,000 of bank circulation, and that two millions of people in Indiana shall have but one-tenth of that amount.

He thinks the honor of the country demands that while the mnnufacturers of New England are permitted to rob the people through an iniquitous tariff, those same manufacturers shall be exempted from taxation under our internal revenue laws.

That same republican senate in which Morrill was talking about the honor of the country has been repeatedly arraigned by the press of its party for venality and corrupt legislation which should make infamous forever. On the day he was speaking, the president of the United States stood convicted by testimony and facts which are conclusive of having been connected with a conspiracy to depress the credit of the government, that he wight thereby fill bis pockets.

He is tbs only president we have ever had to whom a suspicion of this kind could attach.

Morrill Ideas.

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont., said in the senate at Washington, a few days ago '•I have nearly as much confidence in the rebels of the south in relation to our financial policy as I have in the democratic party. I believe that they will support the honor of the country about as faithfully, perhaps, as will the democratic party and when it comes to the question of the emancipation of the colored race at the south, I believe that the southern rebels will be as true if not truer to the cause of freedom than the northern democracy."

Mr. Morrill is oue of those little great men brought to the surface and elevated to a responsible station in times of great excitement, and when partisan passions are bitter and unrelenting.
