I have sewing enough myself that I wish to get done, to employ her three months.' Well, Percy, since you are so earnest for her to remain, if you will promise to make your visit to your friend Xortheote. I will take h-r a week or two upon trial, though I sh uld not be surprised if she IiouM know no more about hemming and stitching than you do.' .Mrs. Lcotiird returned and resumed the sent she had left. I think you told me that your name is Mnrv Le vision,' said she to the giil who sat weeping and trembling. I did.' As tnv nephew thinks of leaving town to-morrow to be gone some time, and as shall be rather lonely, I hp.ve concluded to let you remain a week or two upon trial." 'Your words are a thousand times better

than life to me,' sail she, starting up and seizing Mrs. Leonard's hind, which, she pressed to her lips. 'Slay,' said Mrs. Leonard, disengaging her hand with an air th at showed that she was slightly annoyed, 'if you remain, there are certain condidons which you must promise to comply with.' 'I will comply with any condition tint vou w ish. Ail I ask is, thru you will suffer me to stav.' 'The first condition is, that you must under no pretext whatever, leave the house except to attend church on the Sabbath, and then it must be in company with some perjon I shad provide to go with y on. ' Tent will suit exactly I do not wish to g'l out.' Another is that vou m.i't not attempt to hold any correspondence with your old associates.' 'There is n n r person on earth with whom I wish to hold any correspondence. ' The third and last condition is, that should any of your ud acquaintances call, you will refuse to sje them.' 'All that you require, I should have performed voluntarily." 'Well then vou h id better take oil youi cloik and hood, for the room is rather too warm to require such warm gar-merits.'

one withdrew to the opposite side of t lie e.pnrtimmt, and Percy observed that at the m unent she removed her hood, she tore a wreath f dowers from her hair, md crushed iliu her hand, which soon afterward", when rite imagined sh) was not notiei d, she threw into the fire. When divested of her cloak and boo 1, with her rich ures exactly fitted to her form, nnd Iwr bright g )lden hairenwoven with pear's, Mr. Leonard could not help ro:ifesv.ing to herself that she had never se-e;i a fmvde so perfectly beautiful. If t';1 admiration of. Percy was guarded on a lower sa!o. m countenance was no true index of liis t n'lid, and the idea of his proposed visit into tli? country began to grow ex-mdiiig ui -taste fa 1 to him. T ie net morning, at tho breakfast lahie. Miss Le isjon appeared in a calico morning dress which Mrs. Leonard had provided for her. with her hair, which was pl umy parted on her foreheed, compressed in' (ne heavy, rich braid, which shone with a lu-'re nearly equal to the small comb which confined it to tho bark part of her heal. Her dmeanm was coins', almost to bnsfifulne-'s, her color varying with every . :n uui. from the pale-"-; hue of the bee-h ro"1, to that which dyes th-" leaves tvirc t its heart. Mrs. Leonard was at a ius whether to attribute th's fitful varying of her complexion to modesty or guilt, but Perry, who had a chivalry about him, would not have hesitated, had it been the custom of those decrenere.t days, to break a lance with th brn-pt man in the country in vindica'.km of her inn eonee ; 'Have yo'i s-cu to senr-. cont in the t ige ?' inquired his aunt is they rose from the table. 'No. but it is time cough vet it will not star: this half hour.' 'You are mistaken. Prrv it Ineksbnt just lii'teo-.i nrnuteof the time.' 'You are right, 1 believe,' he replied, looking rtt his watch, "but never mind, if I run toolat? I can just as well go to-morrow.' 'That will not do,' said his aunt, with a look .and 'ono of severitv. 'If vou miss tb.e stage I shall lend you mv carriage.' 'Wr'i, Aunt, since vou are so earnest to ret rid of me, I will send Patrick to tell the driver to call for me." o, it is too late now to trust to servants ga vourself, snd call for vour trunk j as you pass. '.lust as y.v.i say l am all oneuience. but if mv exile prove too tedious I shall return before the expiration of the time I ! mentioned.' Xot without writing first,' replied his Aunt. 'To bo sure not I shall give vou fair warning.' Having .- id this. br shook hands warmly with his Aunt, and bowing with an air of profound respect to Mis Leviston, left the anartment. t Mrs. Leonard, thinking it not best to task the skill of her new needle-woman too severely at first, gave her a cambrick handkerchief to hem, which being performed with neatness and despatch, she ventured to trust her with a pair of fino linn wriit-bands, for Perr.ey, which according to the old fashion, when women probably found it difficult to fill up their time, were to ho stitched twice across. each stitch to embrace just two threads. She had finished one wristband entirely to Mrs. Leonard's satisfaction, when the door-hell rang. Miss Leviston gave a nervous start, and raising from her chair requested Mrs. Leonard's leave to retire to her own apartment. The lady who rang proved to be Mrs. Reding, a lady with whom Mra. Leonard was intimately acquainted, and to whom she determined to mention the case of her new seamstress, and ask her advice relative to the propriety of permitting her to remain, lint Mrs. Redmg had something important to communicate, and commenced by saying 'Have you heard the news, Mrs. Leonard?' 'No, indeed what news?' 'Yen know r id Mr. Draper don't you?" I know there m such a person, though 1 am not acquainted with him.' 'And yon have heard of the beautiful Miss Winthrop, his niece and ward?' 'Yes.' 'And of old Mr. Barner. whose property is said to exceed a million?' ' 'I have.' ' We!!, it seems that Barner took a fsncy to Miss Winthrop, and asktd her guar

dian's permission to propose to her. Mr.

Uraper s consent being readily obtained, he proposed and was rejected. Not satisfied with this he continued to persecute her with his addresses and finally, it is said, oliered her guardian a heavy sum if he would cither by persuasion or threats induce her to marry him. ' Make yourself easy, Mr. Harner,' said he, ' she shall be. your bride.' He found, however, that he had undertaken a difficult task, and despairing of other means to effect his wishes, he locked her in her own apartment, ami gave out that she had left town on a visit. For several weeks she remained obstinate, but knuwir.cr herself to be entirely in her guardian's power, and becoming weary of her imprisonment, the told him if he would release her lhat she w'ould marry Mr. Harner. .As he suspected that she intended to evade her prome, he told her he could not trust her with her liberty till the hour arrived for the performance of the marriage ceremony. Knowing that remonstrance wouid prove vain, she. to appearance, meekly acquiesced. Yesterday morning was the time Mr. Draper wished it to take place, but she insisted on its being deferred till evening. A splendid bridal dresi had been prepared, in which she was duly arrayed, and Mr. Harner, line as bis tailor could make him, was punctual to the moment. (hie of tho bride-maids now entered the appartment, and whispered to Mr. Draper, requesting him to give her the key to unlock the bride, as her assistant had just called to her and told her that Miss Winthrop wan quite ready. ' Hit why were you not there to assist thijiii ?' inquired .Mr. Draper. 'I arrived rather l3te,' she replied, 'and as you happened to be out, 1 could not gain admittance.' Five minutes elapsed, and the bride did not appear. Mr. Harner kept his eye constantly fixed on the door by which she was to enter. Another five minutes elapsed, end Mr. Harner's eyes began to ache, so that he was obliged not only to wink but to rub them. 4 What does the girl mean by keeping us wailing so long ?' sai 1 Mr. Draper and he rang tho bell. A girl appeared at the door. 'Co tell Miss Winthrop.' said he, 'that she will oblige us by not keeping us waiting any longer. The girl obeyed, and after an a-ence of a few minutes returned, saving that Miss Winthrop' s chamber w as empty. 'I should not wonder if she had contrived to make her escapi;,' said Mr. Draper, starting up and ru-iung tow ard the stwir case, followed close by Mr. Harner. They soon proved the truth of what the girl had told them, by a poop into the de. sorted ehamber. HriJe and bride maids, all were gone. Mr. Harner ran down s'airs, and going to the front door, inquired of some persons who were passing, if they bad scon a lady in the dress of a bride. Keing answered in the negative, he ran down street like tin insane man, asking the same question of everyone he met. Lvcry ex' r'.ion was mad? on the part of her guardian to find her. but tip to this time, she has eluded all search.' Mrs. Leonard, who had listened to Mrs. Reding's account without interrunlinf her, told her, wheti she had finished, that she doubted not but that Miss Winthrop was at that moment beneath her roof. She then related to her the incidents of the preceding evening. It must be she,' replied Mrs. Reding. 'I know her perfectly well, and your description suits her exactly.' ' She did wrong," said Mrs. Leonard, not to confide in mo. I was inclined to regard her in a verv unfavorable light, and had it tint been for Percy, w ho for the sake of her remaining, consented to leave town, 1 should have turned her away.' 'As she wa wholly unacquainted with you,' replied Mrs. IJeding, ' she could not tell whether it would be safe to repose confidence in you or not.' ' That is true. There are some who might have taken measures to return her to her guardian, or rather to him who has proved himself so be.se a betrayer of his trust.' I'oth ladies agreed that it would be best for Mrs. Leonard to inform her immediately that she had discovered who she was, and to quiet her fears by assuring her that as Mr. Draper had exceeded tho i'units of lawful control, dy confining her to her chamber in order to compel her to marry a person that was disagreeable to her, he won! I not be suffered to resume his guardianship. That evening in a letter to her nephew, Mrs. Leonard related the w hole story, and the next evening but one, she had the pleasure of welcoming him home. More to tease Mr. Draper, than for any other reason, the secret of Miss Winthrop's abode was not suffered to transpire, and he, as well as the public, about two months afterwards, were first enlightened on the subject by the following paragraph in one of the daily newspapers : " Married, yesterday morning, at the resilience of Mrs. Leonard, in street, Percy Leonard, Ksq., to Miss Mary Leviston Winthrop, daughter of the late .ludgo Winthrop, of tl; is city. A genteel looking man stepped into a hardwaie store in this city the other day, and asked a dapper clerk if he had any 'cut nails?' 'Not one!' was the reply, 'business is so dull that we life all the nails we ha VP. mi hand, f or amusement.' 'Rite them to the quh kti queried the customer, in nowise displeased at the wag. 'Yes always.' said the boy. 'Well,' was the reply, Uliai accotints for your quid: wit. Judging from the shape of your re.-rr, I should fancy 'you kept a pumpkin seed store!

From the Memphis, Tcnn., Eagle. MH. CLAY IN NEW ORLEANS. Mr. Clay, whilst in New Orleans, received an invitation, with other distinguished gentlemen, to partake of a collation on board the ship ll'abash. Captain Stanton. He was welcomed on board the vessel by the Captain, with the following off-hand, eloquent, admirable and unexpected speech: Mem. Enq. Mr. Clay : I esteem among ihe proudest events of mv life, the privilege now afforded me, of addressing you as my rmest. While I acknowledge the high gratification that I derive from your visit here, permit me at the same time to tender my thanks for the kind and prompt manner in which yon responded to my wishes. In behalf of myself, therefore, as well as the owners and those friends by whom you are surrounded, I bid you a hearty and cordial welcome on board the Wabash. It will not, I think, be expected that I should greet you in a set speech, but rather with the frank heart and the honest, plain language of a sailor. 1 welcome vou here sir, because yon are recognised as the unwavering friend of (qual rights to every occupation in the country. I welcome you upon this ship of American construction and almost of American ma. terial, as the truo friend of American industry, and more especially as the friend to legitimate and adequate protection to American industry. The sailors (many of whom are .about you at this time) bid you welcome here, because they remember w hen your eloquent voice was raised in their behalf, in our national councils when its trumpet tones rang triumphantly for ' Free trale and Sailors' A'gs." The ship owners and merchants, who are ably represented here, greet you, find in doing it, they point to the cheering prospect that surrounds you in their com

mercial marine. Here, on every shir. are their ships and they present to your notice their construction, materials 3nd appointments, as unsurpassed by those of any other nation. They can load these ships, and can sail them from port to port in our country : individual enterprise can accomplish every thing that is necessarv in our commercial intercourse, save the furnishing of jnonej to consummate transactions; that duty belongs to every good government. It is with earnest and sincere pleasure that we greet vou as the great champion of a sound national currency. Our beloved country mav be :ut!v considered as a grat family, whoso different members are variously enerrred : some are planters end farmers; some mechanics, merchants and anizans , others are manufacturers and sailors, with variety of other occupations; nevertheless, they all combine one great family. Ar.d as the parent finds his duty and in'rest in fostering and protecting earh child until its feeble steps become strong by time, use and habit, so it t clearly the duty and interest of our government to give its parental aid and assistance, without partiality, to every branch of industry and every occupation in our country. We greet you with honest and just pride as our countryman, as an .hncricun citizen: we ndtrure v..uas a statesman and orator, and a patriot tinsurpaN,.d in this or a.uy country : but above all ami most of all, for your steadfast and imilinching devotion to our Union. We can never forget that when civil discord and intestine strife, kindled up and excited by passion, party spirit and sectional jealousies,, seemed a tempest ready to break assunder the chain which binds us up as a harmonious nation, it was your voice that saved us, and that nobly and gener ously cried to the angry elements 'peace,' and they were stilled. As we turn inquiringly to the future, our eyes rest upon you as the great pullic Administrator of all our estates; we trust all to your guidance confidentially, because we know both the compass and the chart by w hich you will guide the ship of State ; we cannot mistake your principles. your policy and your views ; they stand out in every page r,f our country's history, from the first act of your public life ; they are as ' frontlets written upon your fore, head.' Again, sir, I bid you a hearty welcome on board the ship Wabash. Mr. Clay, says the Tropic, surprised at being thus .addressed, and apparenly without the slightest anticipation of it. expressed a few words in reply, which we will endeavor substantially to repent: ' I had not the remotest anticipation, Captain, in accepting your kind invitation to examine this beautiful ship, that the occasion would call forth .any such speech as that which you have done me the honor to address to me, much less any speech from me. Yon have disclaimed being an orator. The sentiments respecting public measures, w hich you have just expressed in this cabin, would do honor to him who should pronounce them in the halls of Congress. You have rightly conceived my motives if you have exaggerated the value of my public services. With a truly American heart, every bent of which has been for my country, 1 have sought by my humble exertions to establish its character, advance its lame, and strengthen and secure all its interests at home and abroad. It seem ed to me that it wa3 the imperative duty of the American Statesman to guard and protect the interests and the welfare of lis own country, being quite sure that foreign powers would sedulously attend to theirs. This has been the great principle which has ever guided me in the councils of our country. I thought it requisite that we should sustain end encourae-e the exertiona of our domestic industry. I know that some good men have supposed my zeal transported me loo far. There was undoubtedly great difficulty, at the

??1L1

commencement of the policy of protection in fixing precisely a just measure. RUf time and age and experience, a proper sense of equality and what is due to all interests and to every part of the confederacy, and the great and gratifying progress of our domestic industry, have taught me, and I hope inculcated on others, that, whilst the policy is to be maintained with firmness, it should be exercised with wisdom, moderation and stability. Such are mv deliberations. Above all, our Government and all our systems of policyshould be ever administered in reference to the preservation of our glorious Union that paramount and transcendant object which is tho sole guaranty of our liberty, our free institutions and all our inestimable privileges. And without harmony between the parts, union may exist in form, but its spirit and its vigor will have fled. Rest assured, sir, that whatever may be the vicissitudes of the remnant of mv life, whether 1 shall be in a public or private station, these leading measures of public policy to which you have adverted, shall have my cons'ant and anxious attention. And now, Captain, with mv hearty thanks for the kind and friendly welcome which has been given me on board this fine ship a noble specimen of American architecture allow me to express my fervent wishes that all her voyages mav be prosperous, and that she may realise tho fondest expectations of yourself, her crew and her owners."
