"Mirry yoa!" replied lite astonished Captain, believing Iter to cf be a suspicious character, "leave my vessel instantly if you know what is for your interes:.'' She then went to the Mate's berth, and asked him if he would marry her, and receiving an answer similar to the Captain's, she went upon deck, where Tudor was engaged in so.n business, and put the same question to him. 'With all my heart," answered Tudor, in a half serious and half j.x:u!.iT manner. 'Then,"" said she, "come along with rne. Tudor left his work and fallowed her, with motives which he. afterward decltred he could never satisfactorily account for even to himself. l)y the time thev had reached the principal streets of the city, many of the shops had been opened. The lady entered a barker s shop, follow ed by Tudor, beck oncd him to be seated, and ordered the knight of the razor to take off bis beard and Iwiir, both of which operations he unoucstionablv greatly stood in need of. She footed the bill, and they left the ahon, but soon entered a hat store She

requested that the best lot of beavers in the store mioht be placed open the rour.ter, and then told 1 udor to select such an one as suited him. lie soon did this; the price was paid by the lady; Tudor threw aside his old tarpawliiig and left Hie store, in company wilh hi companion, in a heaver that would not have disgraced His Majesty the King himself. They next Visited a shoe 'tore, where Tudor was not long in se letting a pair of boots, nor the lady in paying for ;hcm. Tudor by this time was puzzled to divire the object the lady had in view. nt-d acknow dgrd, he was apprehensive all w as not right. I5ut fuliy aw are that l.e had committed ro crime to make him dread the fare of any mortal, and wishin;: to see the end of the fine which he considered had thru fairly commenced, he wa determined to pv-s forward, prepared for the worst, trusting every thing to hi? guide and companion, lie solicited ficm (he lady an explanation of her desictis. but 'he told him to he siiojtt and ask no questions, and immediately led the way into a clothing store, w itli Tudor at her side. Here Tudor w a told to 'elect the best suit of clothes in t'io tore that fitted bin"1, with corresponding articles of clothing: and the sailor in his doublet, tar-bedaubed pantaloons, and chequered shirt, was in a few minutes metamorphosed into as fine a gentleman, as far as appearance was concerned, as had walked the streets of that Croat metropolis for many a day. The bill at this place, as at t lie others, was paid by (he lady. Tudor s nmr.Ecmottt was now complete. Ho neither knew what to say or to think. Who the lady was, what her intentions were, he could not even surmise. He ncain asked for an explanation, and insisted upon one; but the only answer lie received was, 'Follow rr,e, and be not alarmed all will be explained hereafter to your entire satisfaction.' Oac thing Tudor was obiicod to acknowledge the. lady, thus far, had htne by him as well as he could have wi-licd ; he therefore resolved to ask no more questions, and to comply with all her requests and demands. Presently she conducted him into a magistrate c.fhYo.and politely requested the minister of the law, to nniic her and her companion in the bands of matrimony! This was fometh'ngof a A;i:iprt- lo Tildor, htit nevertheless he tacitly yielded ; 'he. ceremony was soon commenced, and ia a lew second the couple were pronounced man fi:idii'ile! Without uttering a word, or even exchanging a kis Tudor and his w ife new left (lie magistrate's, but not, how ever, until she had given him a sovreign for his services. The couple passed through many streets in silence, I udor hardly knowing what he w as do ing, or w hat he had done, and certainly ignorant oi where no was going, or what aw aited him; and of the thoughts that occupied his wife's mind, the read er will soon be able to judge for him self, lurmr.cthe corner of a street. l'lidor beheld, a few rods in front of him, i splendid dw e lling, towards w hich his wife' seemed to direct her footsteps ;is w ell as his ow n, and into the front door oi w tic i tnev ltKieco soon entererl rhe room into which Tudor was usher ed by his wife, was furnished in a stvle of the greatest magnificence. Site set him a chair, telling him to make himsejf contented for a minute or two, and then p.tsed into rwiother room. The first one here to address her. was her uncle, who on seeing her en tor the room, jumped into astonishment from his chair, and calling her bv name, demanded how site escaped Irom her room and where she had been. Her only answer was, 'Thou fiend in human shape, I al low you just one hour to remove your etiecis irom mis nouse. i tie actual T . t a I 1 m I . possession of my property here you have long deprived me of, and vainly thought you had made arrangements by which you could deprive me of it through life; but I have frustrated your w icked designs I am now mistress of my own house, I was this moment mar ried and my husband is now in the front room !"' I must now leave the r.ewly married counle for a short time, for the purpose of reverting to the previous history of Mrs. Tudor. She was tne oniy cnuci of a very wealthy centleman, whom shall designate as Mr. A. not recollect

ing his actual name, and for the tame

reason, I shall give to his daughter the name of Eliza. He had spared neiiher time nor expense in the education of his

daughter, she being the only object of his care and tegard, his wife having died when she was quite young; and before his death, which took place w-hen she was 14 or 15 years of age. he had the satisfaction of witnessing in her one of the most accomplished and beautiful young ladies of London. A shoit time, previous lo his death, an arrangement was entered into between dir. A. and a brother of his, bv which his brother was to have possession of his dwelling house, his servants, horses. carriages, and such other property a had not been deposited in banks for the benefit of his daughter, till the time of her marriage, w hen the posses sion of (hem was to be given up to her husband. It w as also a condition of ihe agreement, that in case lhza died without marrying, the property was to go to her uncle and his family. Immediately after the death of Mr. A., his brother removed into Ids dwell ; ing;Klizi boarded in his family; and every thing went on very agrt-eablv (or some months, when rdiz i discovered in her uncle and his family, the m mi j festations that she should never marry the reasons for which, from what has already been said, mut be obvious to everv reader. Unluckily for F.Iiza.sho did not discover the diabolical plot in season to frustrate i( in its bud. It was nothing less than this: to shut orr up in one of the center rooms in the third story of the house; to prevent h r leav ing it by keeping the doors and windows thoroughly bolted, and to refuse her the company of her associates, by telling! them, when they .lied, thai she w:is either at school, or w as at some of the hops on bus-iness, or had just stepped out to sec a friend, or had taken a ride into the country for her health, and to see some of her re lations, or by telling them something else equally destitute of truth. Kliza generally received her meals through a small tloor in (he ceiang. from the hands of Iter tuifeelie r aunt. to whom her cries for liberation from ter lonely and dismal prison houe. ; were no more effectual than thev would lave been had thev been directed to the idle wind. Three years wa the unfortunate girl thus shut out of all communication with the world, when one morning her scanty breakfast was rariied to Iter bv an old female servant of her father. Fliza, once more discovering the face of her old friend and servant Juan, burst into tears, and attempted several times to speak, but was unable to. .1 uan well understood ihe meaning of these incoherent sobbings, and said, herself almost unable to speak from cmotion, "Hush, hush, F.lizt, Mistress; speak not; I understand all. Your ty rant aunt, was taken suddenly ill last night, and the doctor says it is doubtful whether she survives. I w ill see you igain at noon, and al evening. Some of your old servants have long been planning means for your escape, and are now in hopes of effecting it;'' and without waiting for Elizas thanks and blessings, tripped down stairs. Eliza, though unable for some time to partake of her simple repast, did so al legist with a belter zest than she ev er had before. Her old servants weie still about the houe, and were ben! upon her rescue! Most welcome, soul inspiring intelligence! "What!' said she to herself, "is it pos sible that I am to he delivered from litis vile place of confinement? Is it possible that Ihere lives one who seeks mv liberation and happiness? Is it possj hie that all connected with this establishment my civti establishment do not possess hearts of adamant! God speed thee, Juan, and thy associates, in liny woik of love and mercy!"' It is unnecessary to detail nil the minutia of lite scheme for Eliza's escape, and the several interviews held between h r and Juan for the three days she stt: : i.t ! Ehz w ilh her meals. Suffice it to say, that on the evening of the fourth day after the above inter view, Eliza was furnisheJ wilh an in strument to unbar her window, and was promised a rope ladder the follow ing evening, to effect her descent from one of the w indows in the room adjoin ing; but having loosened the bars of the window the same evening ihe in strument for that purpose was put into her hand, she determined not to wait till the following evening for the prom

VIJERe'f.U IT LEADS THK WAY.

ised ladder, not knowing but ihe plot of the servant might be discovered by her nr;ele, or by seme of hi children; and she accordingly went to work, m tkirg a rope, (if sue !i it rn.tv he c:i!!?!) from her bed clolh.es, by tearing them inlo strip and Ming Ihe ends together. After a few hours labor she completed her rope, but fearing if might not be strong enough to support her, it was some time before she dared to attempt a descent. But preferring death to a longer confinement. ;md fearing that she might he delected, sie resolved to make the attempt, ivsighing her file into the hands of Him who is tit.; orphan's friend. She did mike the attempt, and she was successful! Yes, he was now libeiale 1 from a prison in her own house, where, for"f;!thv lucre's sake.' she had been confined bv her own uncle, and once more breathed the pure air of freedom. This w as about daylight. She immediately bent her 1ops towards the wharf where the lolcn vessel lay ; and from that period in her life (ill site ushered her hnband into her own house, (lie reader has already had an account of. The surprised . and horrot-stricken uncle stood in mute astonishment for some moments, after being informed by Lliz i of her marti.age. She again repeated the demand, "L"ave my house in an hour,t'tou monster!" and then re turned to her husband, where lite prom ised explanation was made. The amazement of Tudor, and the transports of his wife, at this widen change of lluir fortunes nni conditions. may possibly be conceived but they certainly cannot be expressed. Being incompetent (o the task, I will net attempt to describe the scenes that suc cessively followed the embraces of the happy couple, and the kisses exchanged -the joy of Ihe faithful servants at seeing litem young mistress once more set at liberty the chagrin, mortifica tion and decampment of t lie inhuman uncle, and hi family the congratulations of old friends and acquaintance tite parties that were given by .Mrs. fudot as well as thosC attended by or and her husband their many pleasant rides into Ihe country, ccc. &c O.ie pleasant morning, some four or ivo days after the marriage, the atten (cnlioa of the officers and hands belonging to the i'osioa vessel was directed to i splendid carriage, drawn by two cretin colored horses, richly capari soned, which was approaching th wharf, a;;d in a f-w moments baited immediately in front of the vessel. The driver dismounted from the box, and let down the steps of the carriage; a gentleman gorgeously dressed, stepped out. and nsjiLd a lady with corres ponding habiliments, to alight; they then stepped on board the vessel, when ihe gentlem ri asked (he captain what port he was from, how many davs he wa in performing the paago, when he intended to return, the amount of fare for passengers, and other questions of a like nature, and receiving appropriate answers to the same, asked leave to examine the cabins and the other ac eommodalions of the vessel, (all the while avoiding, as far as possible the captain) which were very corteouslv shown him. He then observed, that lie and his lady had some thoughts of soon starting for America, and in case they concluded lo do so, assured the captain they would take passage with him. They (hen left the cabin, but before leaving the vessel the gentleman turned to the captain and said: "Capt. ,(calling him bv name) be(or? leaving your vessel, permit me ike yon acquainted with Mrs. 1 uto mn It wa not I'd! this moment that the Captain and those around him, recognised io the elegantly dressed gentleman, their old friend and companion, Tudor,the Cooper! they supposing thai some sad, if not fatal accident, had befallen him. I once more leave (he reader (o judge of the congratulations (hat now followed, and of the healths that were drank. The remainder of my imperfect sketch is soon told. Tudor distributed the wages coming to him among his old associates bade (hem good bve, but not, however, until he had extracted a promise from the captain and his crew to call as often as convenient upon him, before sailing left tiro vessel, entered his carriage, and was driven to his own door. Tudor and his wife lived through life upon the most amicuble terms and were

blessed with prosperity and an obedient and respecter! circle of children. Soma years alter hi marriage, he returned, accompanied by his wife, to his native place, Boston, where he built two or three wharves, that bear his name to this day. They afterwards returned to London, where they died, as they had lived since their union, honored and respected by all who enjoyed their acquaintance. T,AST WORDS OV ItOKnitT 131 .VETT. If l lie spirit of the illustrious dead participates in (he concerns and cares of those who were dear to them in this transitory life O! ever dear and venerated shade of my departed father, look down with scrutiny upon the con- , duct of your sufleiing son, and see if i have even for a moment deviated from those principle of morality and patriotism, which it was your care to instil into my youthful mind, and for which am now to oiler up my life. My lord, you seem impatient for the sacrifice; the blood for w hich you thirst is not congealed by the artificial fer rors whirh surround your victim it circulates warmly and unrufiled through ihe channels which God created for nobler ptupose. but which you are bent (o destroy for purposes so grievous that they cry to heaven. Be ye patient! I have but few more words to say I am going to my cold and silent grave: my lamp of life is nearly extinguished: my race is run the grave opens to receive me. and I sink into its bosom. I have but one request lo ask at my departure from (his world it is the charity of its silence. Let no man write my epitaph, for a no man who knows my motive dare no:v vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them and me repose in obscurity, and my fomb uninscribed until other lime9 and oAcr men can do justice to my characlrr. When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth then and not till then, let my e pitaph be written. I have done. TEMPER. A bad temper, in a woman, poisons all hep happiness and turns her milk to gall, blights her youth, brings on premature, fretful old age palls all the enjoyments, hanishe their friends and renderi home comfortless and barren. Far different is tin; ripe, rich harvest home made bright and happy by the sweet temper and mild deportment of an amiable wife, who if nffiictions cross her huband abroad, finds comfort and consolation in his home, is happy in a companion whose temper is like the silver surface of a lake, calm, serene and unrufiled. If ho is rich, his admiring friend rejoice in his prosperity and delight in hi .hospitality, because all around him is light, airy and sunshine; if he. is poor, he breaks his crust in peace and thankfulness, for it is not steeped in the water of bitterness. An amiable temper is a jewel of inestimable value in the sum ot happiness because with thai alone, the whims of a cros3 husband may be subdued; many vices may be overcome the boisterous may be lamed the unruly conquered the fretful trnnquilized and the hurricane softened and hushed, as the mild zephyr that sweep over the honeysuckle, under the easement. Tin: 3iic:;ii:aiv appeal. The Convention of the Territory of Michigan, recently assembled for the purpose of forming a constitution, preparatory to its admission into the Union, have made a very lengthy address to the people of (he United States, upon the Boundary question, in which it is contended thai Congress has no power to act upon this subject, "that the ordinance of 1707, and the act establishing tiie Territory of Michigan, prescribed it boundaries" placing the subject beyond the reach of the Federal Legislature. It offers however lo join the State of Ohio, in endeavoring lo bring Ihe question immediately before the Supreme Court of the United Slates, or "submit it fo the decision of Commissioners to be mutually selected by the parties, or refer it to a proper number of eminent citizens, to be taken from .any part of the Union. We shall endeavor to lay the w hole of the document before our readers at an eaily period. Cincin nali Rrpu b lira n . pnvtxTitn's iNscRirTiox.
