The Three V idpws. For several years I have ive*j in almost entire sohlud,e k and truly I cannoi sap I have been un happy. I have had my h >ok;, my flowers, my household matters to attem to! and I can assure you, time has never hung I *avj|- upon my hands Many have wondered at myjsolitary mode of life, and a thousand stranj >• surmises have been afloat respecting me. In< ed |not lell you that they have all beep incorre t, rsnd I am now go mg to confide to you tba frjie icison of my singularities. My ahsenci • fnina home have oc casioned much conjecture; it Jias been supposed that I was secretly connect d vtilh some lucrative trade, which I had suHicien cause to keep secret. I tell you at once it was i ot !so, and that what wealth I happen to possess, is Jhat bequeathed to me by my aunt, considerab y ir,*:reased, I own, by my frugal method of life, in yarly youth I wish ed to travel, and did so. I became attached dur ing, my wanderings to a 1 eamiful Swiss lady, and we were betiothed to < acHother. But, dur ing a separation of unusua lergth, several of my letters 'o her was lost, or, s f|imaginc were in tecrcpted by one who had professed himself my friend, whilstin reality he > aslny rival. At any | rate, he prevailed on Blanc te \U fiirget her vows I and become his wife. His afitjr conduct to her was most cruel, and that, imj the discovery of the pertiduous arts he had tsef to gain her con sent to become his, so preys d t?ion her mind, that she became deranged, and I ml’so completely that she was obliged to be place- in-strict confinement. Her husband died a few y ars; afterwards, and I then sought an interview .’iil| her, hoping that some glimmering of sens- mi|;ht be restored by my presence. She did no; iaopearto know me at first, hut after a time a fa nl fdawn of memory seemed to steal over her mi id,land she called me by my name weeping like cljjild. I weary you, ladies, by this relation: I iav-3 no right to in trude it on you, but I have i purpose in doing so. The sisters all declared t 1 ey ivere much honor ed by his confidence, and d ;ep»y interested in his narrative, and they begged ae fvould proceed. “After our interview, s! ; wjis calmer than she had been since her appeared, and in il future in her wild ist moments, she very mention of * my name appeared to soo' lie ;.ier and invariably produced a flood of tears, vv lids seemed to relieve p her much. My occasiona presence, too seemed productive of benefit; and itjp/as suggested to H me, by one well skilled in toe* treatment of cases similar to hers, that I shot: !d frequently visit her, and remain in her neighh >rh od for a l< nger or shorter period, as our inter iei s seemed to soothe her or otherwise. I -'emovt J h ir from the asylum where she had hitherto »eej; immured, to the house of a skillful surce n, ? who «ent for me whenever he deemed my might be use ful. Till within the last too* months I had the satisfaction of feeling that I her suffer ings and was serviceable to|*he being I loved best on earth. She does n»t i|r»e> Imy care.” He slopped in sime ag hut resumed in a few moments. | “ Thank God her reasr i wfas restored before her death, in all the clean es'-'jind strength of her youth. She knew me, aid l|er last act was to place her wasted hand ii mijhe, her last word a blessing on my name. Deip* ladies, the being who occupied my whole heights and affections is gone, and the sense of I >ne)iness presses heavy upon me. My heart ha bekn so long used to have an object on which t expend its sympathies, that I am unhappy in t; ie |want of it. Why should not we befriends ! V«|u have all been suf ferers peculiarly tried, anise have I; there is much equality in our cin ninstances, and I have c >rneto you this evening to sjiy what I never said to a family in Frankfolt ifefore—“Let us be friends ?” Buflcr me to lisitj you sometimes, to take an interest in youraffaup, and as far as I am able, to render you any as [sis&nce.” The three widows wei ; certainly much aston ished at Herr Bhoheln’s manner of introducing himself to their acquait tan ; ::c ; but they were touched and interested »y his story, and the earnestness with which t esM.tary man appealed to them for sympathy. They could not refuse his request, and therein! e intimated that they • should lie happy to recei e him when he felt dis posed to visit them. One of the party, how :ver, soon began to feel some little regret that tl eir assent had been so easily given. Scarcely d.iy went by without some present of fruit or ege tables or other small matters, being conveyed by khe ancient serving woman of Herr Scl'.obi. i. If) the humble home of his fair neighbors, ■ ad *-’ery shortly not an evening passed in whirl hfs tall person might not be seen occupying tl e itjithern chair of the deceased tobacconist. I osephen felt somewhat annoyed, despite of the natural kindness of her i heart, because their pri ac\j seemed effectually broken up. Amelia, on heicontrary, was secret ly delighted, for .-he had thoughts on the subject, which, however, she wot id not have communica ted to Uoscheu for the i orbi. She did indeed, venture on a few distant, hints of good foitune to arise from this now ini nary, though as to the particular form in which it was to come, she pre served an oracular silent t; and Rose hen was too much wrapt up in her o rn ; thoughts to attempt to unravel the mystery, « to’-egard Herr Schobeln as any thing but a very > out) neighbor, whose vis is would bo iar pleasant r if they were not quite so frequent. ’ ; But during Roschen’i ; absence from the sitli ig room. Amelia fell no su ih rj strain! in conversing with the widow Stcinl lii it.' They talked on the subject of Herr Schobeii’s’visits, and speculated thereon to their hearts’ ;;onient. Poo r Gertrude, deprived of the power o milking her own obser vations on the slate of iffa|irs, always applied to Madame Leroux for thi result of hers, and their dialogues were general! c»,£Ti e d on in something of the following strain “ It is not of myself I sdeak.” said Gertrude; “ my infirmities a.e a fuificient answer to any thought that might ari e oji that subject; but if he offer to marry eilh< r y|ou or Roschen, why should you refuse the n *aub of escaping from this life of toil and poveru ?” . The tears of Amelia were by this lime flowing fust, but her sister com nusd — “ You are the best ji dgd yourself to which his inclinations lend ; 1 sh »ul»| think he would most likeK choose you. for {o*fthen's sorrowful voice | alone would put such hobghts about her out of I any man’s heath It r ust|be you, Amelia, and I ] tro.tand beheve it will pro ve so, and therefore, already I say, “ God bless you with him i Amel.av,M mur.hple.sedal hearing thi, opin ion expresw-d by Gertrade. Herr Schobeln’. .t --tention had been hitherto divided so equally a mongsl the sisters, that she felt some difficulty in her mind as to which was the favored fair one. Sue had a real respect for Herr Schobeln: she ived day by day !n a happy dream of the fu ture only wishing that he would be a little more exp ic.t at once, that she might commence alter ing her dresses for the wedding, which she had not yet ventured to do, though she had already turned them over many times, and contrived how *might lie remodelled to the best advantage. hy did not Herr Schobeln speak! He spoke at last, and to Amelia herself, by herself; yet his avowel had the effect of a sudden thunderbolt, shattering to atoms the fairy palace of her hopes and anticipations. He spoke, and after a long preamble concerning the disagreeableness of soli tude and the pleasures of the married state, he finished his harrangue by begging, humbly beg ging that Amelia would propose him as a suitor to her sister Roschen ! What Amelia said, or how she received the unravelling of his intentions, cannot be known, for she never knew exactly herselt. Bhe remembered something about pleas ure and honor, and endeavoring to meet his wish es, and then flew to the widow Steinback to dis b irden her mind of the astounding intelligence. But Gertrude did not sympathise with her exactly as might have been expected. “They had been mistaken ;’ that was all. She saw great cause for thankfulness that the wedding and the wealth would still be in the family, for, of course Ros chen, though no doubt she would be astonished, would never be so mad as to refuse him, if it were only for the sake of little Franchette. She shifted Roschen into the character of bride, which she had hitherto marked out for Amelia, with wonderful facility, observing.in conclusion, that at any rate there would be a wedding, and they would all be at il.
