To procrastination he deaf!
(A caution which came Irom above,)
The scoundrel’s not only “ the thief
Of time,” but of beauty and love.
Then delay not a moment to win
A prize that is truly worth winning ;
Celibacy, Charles, is a sin,
And sadly prolific of sinning.
I could give you a bushel of reasons
For choosing the 44 double estate;*’
It agrees with all climates and seasons,
Though it may be adopted too late.
To one’s parents Vis (erntefullv) due ;
Just think what a terrible thing
’Twould have been, sir, for me and for you,
If ours had neglected the ring !
lv vanquishing the assailant. Notwith
standing the resistance he made, we
dragged him to the nearest house, which
was but little more than a .quarter of a mile
distant.
In this abode, which was a very humble
one, we found a glimmering light, with a
woman ot a very weak and sickly appear
ance, sitting at the fireside. The female
invalid was greatly alarmed at our singular
and unexpected appearance ; but scarcely
had we been a minute in the house, when
looking the young man in the face, whose
life had been in sucli imminent danger, she
exclaimed, “O, my Robert, my Robert!”
and with a supernatural effort rose to em
brace him. T he truth instantly flashed up
on my mind, that this was none other than
my old acquaintance, and on that of our
prisoner, that it was none other than his
own son in whose blood, but half an hour
before, he was about to imbrue his hands.
The young man recognized the voice of hi?
mother, although her features had been
sadly changed by sickness- But no one
can form any conception of the surprise
which all ot us at first felt, on recognizing
each other under such strange circumstan-

For suppose you succeed, in the sequel,
Alter all, the deuce would be in ir,
For the match would be highly unequal ;

In this world are rather uncommon.
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You’ll be better content with a woman.
A full explanation soon followed. Ro
bert’s father experienced a rapid transition
from competence to absolute penury, in
onseqnence of a sudden and extensive de
pression which, some time before, had tak
en place in the branch of business in which
he was engaged ; and to add to his misfor
tunes, his wife had become indisposed.—
They left the town in which the greater
pan of their past life had been spent, and
removed to the little solitary house adja
cent to the eastward of the wood of Maners.
in the hope that the husband might procure
as much employment in the country as
would at least supply their more urgent
wants. In this lie was disappointed ; and
goaded almost to despeiation by his own
privations, as well as by those of his sickly
wife, he had that evening for the first time,
resolved on the desperate expedient of
committing highway robbery.
His son Robert had newly arrived in
this country from India, for the purpose of
’ransacting business in London ; and natu
rally, when so near his parents, resolv
ed on a visit to them. He had been un
conscious of the reverse in life they had
encountered within the last eighteen
months; but as he had been successful in
.he world himself,he administered to their
nresent exigencies, and before lie departed
Again, he settled upon them the annual
sum of sixty pounds, and had the satisfac
tion, before he left their roof, of seeing h*is
mother completely convalescent.

For a sensible fellow like you.

And a board, and 4 ‘ fixens” for two.

the spot, and found one man, apparently
rniddle-aged, lying upon another, who
seemed to be rather young—the stronger
party threatening to shoot the weaker if any
t’other resistance to idling his pockets was
offered. 1 rushed to the aid of him whose
life was in danger; and while attempting to
drag the other off’the person below him,
he presented a pistol to my breast. I
wrenched the weapon from him, and threw
it among the adjacent trees. By this time,
the weaker party regained his feet, and be

What a beautiful creatuie Caroline Der
went is !” said a young man to his friend,
Horace Jones, at a party in one of our
northern cities.
Yes, but she is a heartless flirt ! She
broke the heart of poor Harry Wylie.”
‘‘How was that !”
‘Harry was my*schoolma*.e, and a noble-
hearted man ; he was frank, enthusiastic
and full of coufidence. Years ago, when
Miss Derwent was but fifteen, he fell in
love with her. She did not reject his at
tentions, neither did she decidedly encour
age them, but she designedly acted so as
to keep hope alive in his bosom, resolving,
I have no doubt, to marry him if no better
match occurred, for sho is haughty as Juno
and ambitious as Semiramis. About a year
ago, however, she became acquainted with
Lieutenant McIntyre, a southerner of large
estates, and Harry was unmercifully dis
missed, just at a time, too, when by her
decided encouragement on several occa
sions, he began to feel certain of her hand.
He never recovered from it. You know
how lie threw himself away ! I pity the
lieutenant, forlie may be trifled with in turn
—that is he by the door. He has just returned
from a cruize in the West Indies, and knows
nothing of this. In a word, Miss Derwent
is as false as she is beautiful.”
“Hush !’ said the speaker’s fi iend. ‘Here
comes Miss Derwent. She has heard you.”
Horace looked up and met Miss Der
went’s eye. Ungovernable rage sparkled
in those dark orbs. As she swept by like
another Cleopatra, she darted on Horace
a look full of revengeful meaning. The
two friends exchanged glances.
“She is an unforgiving fury,” said Hor
ace, “and heard what I said. Well, if she
was a man 1 should look out for a chal
lenge,” he added jestingly.
Caroline Derwent was indeed all that
Horace declared her to be. Beautiful from
her earliest childhood and accustomed to
continual flattery, her bad qualities bad be
come worse, and she had grown up vain,
haughty, self-willed and revengeful in dis
position. Indeed, there was scarcely a re
deeming quality about her. But in society
her beauty arid wit concealed her defects.
It was the former that had fascinated the
rich lieutenant McIntyre ; and in his affi
anced bride, who knew well how to play
her part, he worshipped a being of almost
ideal perfection. They were to hematried
in a fortnight.
Miss Derwent had, as Horace supposed,
heard his words. He was one that hail
early penetrated her character; and this
the imperious beauty well knew; for as lie
was-possessed of an ample fortune, she
had, atone time, determined to make him
hers, and in consequence, had lavished all
her arts in the vain hope of ensnaring him.
Finding she could not succeed, her love—
for she really 'oved Horace as much as she
was capable of loving any one—turned in
to hatred ; and what is more terrible than
the hatred of an unprincipled woman ?-she
now resolved to have her revenge. She
knew her affianced lover to be high spiiited ;
and she counted on his blind devotion to
her to make him her tool. That evening,
as he escorted her home, she tedd him that
Horace had called her as false as she was
beautiful, and made use of her name other
wise in an insulting manner. She said,
however, nothing about that part of the con

an officer in the navy. Others heard the
words, and know I heard them ; and you
have to choose being called a coward or
tevenging me.”
Her companion, though infatuated with
love, was shocked at her vehemence. Hei
had not thought her capable of such a thirst |
for revenge, and, for the first time, he be- j
gan to ask himself if the being he was about (
to marry was qualified to make him happy, j
He was still plunged in thought when the 1
carriage arrived at the door. His bride ;
elect had remained in passionate silence, j
waiting his decision. lie did not give it, j
however; but merely saying he would see |
her in the morning, bowed and took his I
leave.
No words can describe the passion of
the proud beauty as she flung herself on
her sofa. She had never loved her expec
ted husband ; indeed, at his rigid notions
on some subjects she would often curl her
lip ; but his vast fortune was a prize that
she eagerly grasped at. But now her rage
broke all bounds on finding his hesitation
to become the tool of her revenge. ‘ The
mean, pitiful wretch,’ she said, ‘he shall not
have me if he will not* avenge me. I
will be master—he shall know
and sitting down she wrote him
deferring her interview on the
with him on the plea of a head-ache, until j
the succeeding day, when, as the words ran, )
“she hoped to welcome him from the field j
on which he had avenged her.’ This note j
she ordered hei servant to deliver on the ;
following morning.
Her lover well understood that, the note j 1
implied more than it expressed, and was, |
in fact, a dismissal unless he would chal
lenge Horace. Nor was Miss Derwent j
disappointed in the effect of her missive.— ;
Before noon she received a reply which \
informed her, in hasty words, that a meet- i
ing had been arranged for the next morn- j
ing—Horace refusing to take back his j
words.
All that day the proud beauty lived in the '
intoxication of gratified vanity and satiated I
revenge. She never contemplated the pos
sibility of her lovet’s fall, for he was repu-:
ted too good a shot ; but vve shudder to '
record that she looked on the possible death ;
of Horace without compunction. Themorn :
dawned ; and when the time for the duel j
had come and gone, she stationed herself
at the window to be the first to see and
welcome her lover. But noon came with
out him, though long before, rumors of the
meeting and of its results hal readied the
town, and had been retailed to Caroline’s
ears. Horace had been dangerously woun
ded, but her lover had escaped—What
then could detain him ; at length a note
was brought her in bis handwriting—she !
onened and read as follows :
“Lieutenant McIntyre’s compliments to Miss i
Derwent. He has performed her wish, and by |
meeting Mr. Jones, hopes iie lias convinced |
her that he is no coward, ns she was pleased to I
say she feared. He begs leave, now, to,take fare- j
well of her forever. The woman who could i
show su:h passion anil revenge, whatever
her charms, is not suitable for Lieutenant Me-i
Intvre’s wife. Lieutenant McIntyre is no friend ;
to duelling, and acknowledges that, under auy j
other circumstances, he would have refused to •
be a participant in one ; but, as he had made
up bis mind, on the exhibition of Miss Der- i
»eni’s revengeful spirit, to break off their con-;
templated matrimonial connection, no other
course remained for him, as an officer, but to j
challenge Mr. Jones as she desired. Had he ,
not before determined to surrender his claim to !
her hand, her note, making their union the con- |
dition of gratifying her revenge, would have i
opeoed his eyes to his infatuation and made !
him resolve to abandon the projected mar- j
riage.”
The imperious beauty read the note;
through, scarcely believing she was not in
a dream. But the fatal truth forced itself
upon her ; and in shame and mortification
she set off the next morning for the coun
try. She is still unmarried.
Lieutenant McIntyre and Horace be
came intimate friends ; and the former on |
learning Miss Derwent’s true character,
was grateful for his opportune escape. The
two young men not long after married sis

A Tar in Trouble.
While in the office of Recorder Genois,'
yesterday, a police officer, big with brief
authority, entered, leading a ‘son of Nep
tune,’ who looked as dispirited as if he had j
been cast among the unfriendly savages of j
the Friendly Islands.
The police officer said something sotlo |
vocetnthe Recorder— a rather pretty young
woman, with dimpled cheeks, who sat;
within the railing, made a pantomimic mo-1
tion to the old woman with wrinkled cheek 1
who was by her side—the sailor- looked 1
imploringly at the dimpled cheeks, gave a ;
hitch with his sinister hand to his panta- i
loons, and expectorated a portion of the I
juice of the tobacco quid from his mouth.!
Poor fellow ! he seemed to say. “ Here I :
am like a bark driven on the breakers, j
without compass or chart; 1 hung out my ■
flag of distress, hut instead of that trim and
well-beloved craft (dimpled cheeks) com
ing to my assistance, she sent that pirat
ical looking cruiser (the police office!)
to haul me into harbor.”
“John Connor,” said the Recorder.
“Aye, aye,’ you honor,” said John, ad- '
vancing up to the desk of that functionary i
in a rocking, vvalk-the-deck kind of gait.— j
John at that moment appeared every inch J
a sailor. His trowsers were blue, and of!
capacious width at the extremities ; his J
jacket wais of like color and cloth, and was
plentifully supplied with pearl studs ; his j
black silk handkerchief was loosely tied in
a swivel knot, and the collar of his check 1
shirt was spread out over his shoulder.
“Connor,” said the Recorder, “this wo- !
man here, Ann Hays, says you have been j
to her house, and threatened to commit |
murder. What have you to say to the
charge V’
“Why, Lord love your honor,” said Con- j
ner, again ejecting a quantity of tobacco :
juice, and twirling his little glazed hat a- ,
round on his thumb, “ why, LorcK love
your honor, Ann is the little ‘painter’ that
I got hitched on to my bows in Boston four j
years ago. Murder her! I’d as soon a!
stove in the buhvaiks of my own e\is- 1
tence.”
Ann Hays—“Well, your honot, I’m a-j
fraid of my life of him.”
“ Ah, Nancy! Nancy !” said John, draw- j
ing the cuff of his jacket across his right eye, j
and wiping away a tear that stood in the j
corner—“Ah, Nancy ! I have encountered \
many a breeze since I left four years ago, j
in Boston, but this blow does more injury j
to the rigging of my heart than all 1 have
yet had tocontend with—to be led into shoal
water by the false lights of an enemy is bad,
but to be deserted and disowned by a craft
that one took in conyoy with him for life,
is a little too much for the timbers of ray
