THE UNLUCKY MISTAKE.
ItT MRS. CAROLINE ORNE.
"I’ll say as they say.”—Comedy of Errors.
Mrs. Sinclair, though amiable and handsome, remained
single till the was near forty, when she received and ac
cepted the offer of marriage from Mr. Sinclair, a bachelor
of about her own nge. Soon afterwards, she unexpectedly
came into possession of a large property, bequeathed by a
distant relative. This good fortune was speedily followed
by a severe affliction Her husband, in every respect an
estimable man, was taken suddenly ill and died. Having
no near relations of her own, and those distant being aliea-
dy aofflciootlj affluent, she came to the determination to
adopt one of the nieces of her late husband, should either
of them please her. She had as yet seen none of his rela
tives, nil of them residing in distant towns. She had, how.
ever, heard him express a great regard for his half-brotlier,
whose name was Harden, which made her desirous to ob.
tain some information relative to his family. As she was
revolving the subject in her mind, she recollected that Mr.
Sinclair had told n«r that a poor widow by the name of
Mansfield* who procured a livelihood by sewing, was a sis
ter to Mr. Harden’s first wife, and on her she resolved to
call, in the hope of obtaining the information she desired.
She put on her bonnet and shawl, and a few minutes* walk
brought her to the door of Mrs. Mansfield’s bumble dwel
ling. The widow answered her knock, and conducted her
iiito a small but neat apartment.

Sinclair's inquiries, 44 that I can give you no satisfactory in
formation concemingthem. My sister, who was Mr. Har-
den's fir*t wife, died in a little more than a year after her
marriage, leaving an infant daughter a few weeks old, and X
have never visited them since. His second wife baa like

in the dark.”

being evidently the relics of several demolished tea-sets.
Mrs. Sinclair requested Florence, who accompanied her
to her bed-chamber, to furnish her with writing materials,
and before she retired to rest, she wrote an explanatory
note to Mrs. Mansfield, to prevent her from forwarding her
baggage, and to request her leave to make use of any arti

that you might possibly know something about them.”
•*Yes, I have gathered a few particulars,” she replied;

Mrs. Harden now appeared at the door, and welcomed
Mrs. Howell with great cordiality.
“ Mrs. Howell does know something about the people
who parsed by in that superb carriage.” said Melissa

*• Yes, ana consisting of Mr, Evcring and his wife, and
their son and daughter.”
•• Is Mr. Evering rich 7” inquired Melissa.
44 As a nabob, and the son, whose name is Willard, and
Eliza, the daughter, will probably have, at least, a million
of dollars each.”
44 Where do they belong?” said Mrs. Harden.
44 Ah, that is the very thing I came to tell you. They re
side in II— , the very town where Melissa’s rich
aunt, Mrs. Sinclair, lives.”
44 As likely ns not they are well acquainted with her,”
said Mrs.Harden.
44 Thai is what I think,” replied Mrs. Howell. 44 and this
probability will, in my opinion, afford a plausible plea for
your making some advances towards cultivating an acquaint
ance with them.”
44 But are they going to remain here long enough for such
a step T” inquired Mrs. Harden.
” Oh, yes—I am told they intend to remain ten or twelve
days.”
•* I have just hit upon a nice plan,” said Melissa.
“Whatis it?” inquired her mother, and Mrs. Howell,
both at ouce.
44 Why, if they should spend the Sabbath in town, they
will of course like co attend church, and they will undoubt
edly receive it as a very polite mark of attention, should
we offer them seats in our pew.”
44 A better plan could not be thought of,” said Mrs. How

* * 4 It would be, as you say, an excellent plan,” said Mrs.
Harden, 44 were it not for one thing.”
44 What can that be ?” inquired Mrs. Howell.
44 Why, Florence’s evil genius that is always at her el
bow, I believe, must put it into her head that it would be
exceedingly amiable in her to invite her aunt Mansfield to
make us a visit. She accordingly importuned her father till
she obtained his leave to send for her.”

fir 1,1, looking at the eignaturc, and she was then going to lay
the letter aside,but Mrs. Sinclair requested her to tead it.
Her niece informed her that the perusal of some letters
whirl, she wrote to her mother about the time of her mar
riage. which ahe had recently found while overlooking some
olu papers, had a watered in her so strong a desire to see
her, that she had, with her father’s concurrence, written to
her for the purpose of inviting her to spend several weeks
with them.
“ You must certainly accept the invitation,” said Mra
Sinclair; “ it will afford you such an excellent opportunity
to judge of the young Indies."
•‘ I am afraid I shalt be biassed in favor of Florence,”
she replied, ” especially if sbe should resemble her mother.
I confess, however, that I have some inclination to make the
visit, though Florence does not intimate that her mother-in-
law joins >n the invitation.”
Before Mrs. Sinclair took leave, Mrs. Mansfield had deci
ded to write, in answer to her niece’s letter, ihst sbe might
expect her in two w eeks, for, having some sewing on band,
which she was obliged to finish, it would be impossible for
her to go sooner.
Two days before the one Mrs. Mansfield had set for her
journey, Mrs. Sinclair again called on her. “ 1 have been
chinking.” said she, “that I should like to accompany you
on your visit to the.Hardens, if it will be agreeable to you.”
“It certainly will be,” replied Mrs. Mansfield; "but
should they not be apprized of your intended visit?”
It would have been proper, hut if I go with you, it is
now too late ; and as they are people of wealth and fashion,
it can certainly be no inconvenience to them to receive two
visiters instead of one."
It was finally arranged, that as Mr3. Mansfield lived en-
tirely alone.and would have no one to prepare her break-
t, that she should spend the night previous to their de-
" Nor I,” said Melissa, “jit is true the pew is rather
near the door, which would, as I should imagine, make it
rather agreeable this warm weather, on aefcount of the air.
The only difference beside, is, that it is not carpeted and
cnsliione land lined with crimson velvet, like the one where
we sit."
” Which this troublesome aunt Mansfield, not being ac
customed to. will probably not even notice,” said Mrs.
Howell. “ But sometimes people who have no luxuries at
home, are the most exacting and consequential of any in the
world, when they ere abroad.”
“ Jj uckily this is not the case with her. She appears to be
sensible of the inferiority of her station, anil is very meek
and accommodating.”
“That will make her a little more endurable, then,” said
Mrs. Howell. “ But I have been thinking that Florence
might possibly object to sitting in the pew with the • help.' ”
“No, I don’t think she will. Were her father at home
sbe might, but now, as she has no one to appeal to, 1 think
ahe wifi fall in with the arrangement without saying a word.”
“Come, let as say no more about ‘the aunt Mansfield’
now.” said Melissa. " I want to inquire if this Miss Eliza
Evering is an elegant looking girl ?”
•• Very, as nearly as 1 could judge by the single opportu
nity 1 bad of observing lier; and her brother—so I have
been told—ranks ainon" the most graceful anti fascinating

fine match for yon, Melissa.”
- Thank you—but he is probably engaged.”
" Report says to the contrary, and really I know cf no
young Jady who would, in my opinion, stand a better chance
to make a favorable impression on him, than you. But it is
growing late, and I must bid you good night.”
I believe, on reflection.” said Mrs. Harden to her
panurc, with Mrs. Sinclair. 'Her trunk was therefore con- daughter, after Mrs. Howell bad gone, •• that I shall sound

from her mother silenced her.
“ Now I hare commenced asking questions,” said Mrs.
Harden, 44 1 should like to inquire il you know anything
about this rich Mrs. Sinclair, who resides in II ,

“ 1 am somewhat acquainted with her, though not as tho-
roughly in every respect, perhaps, as I ought to be.”
| “ 1 have heard that ahe is very handsome and very lady

| 44 Is she, aunt ?” inquired Florence.
I 44 t'l rne have thought so; the opinion of others may be dif-

. 44 You never saw anything «
working for Mra. Sinclair,” sa
they had innocently caused her to suffer. The benevolent
nndT dignified countenance of Mr. Evering, however, and
tbe still finer one of the ton, at once gave wing to those pre
judices which she had been nursing with all diligence She
did not obtain a sight of Mrs. Ever ing f s face, but the daugh
ter’s she thought one of the sweetest she had ever seen.
When the services wen? over, Mrs. Evering^ just as she
was leaving church, happened to notice Mrs. Sinclair. She
pointed her out to her husband, and hastening forward,
they greeted her with a warmth equal to the suprise they
felt at meeting her.
44 Only see,” said Mrs. Harden to Melissa,with ascorn-
ful toss of the head, “how sociable Mr.Evering and his
wife are with Florence's aunt. If they had Keen her in
their own town, they would not have thought of speaking
to her, unless they had wished her to do some sewing for
them; but because they have happened to meet with her a
hundred miles from home, a person would think she was
tne governor’s lady by their appearance.”
44 1 must certainly intr«>duceyoa to Mrs. Harden and her
daughter,” said Mrs. Evering to Mrs. Sinclair. They
were very polite in inviting us to take seats in their pew.
We did not expect to receive so much attention from stran-
gers.”
44 Excuse ine now, if you please,’* said Mrs. Sinclair, who
did not feel quite ready for the denounemeut which the
proposed introduction would occasion. 4, I will give you
my reasons some other time, and instead, take the present
opportunity to introduce to you my young friend, Miss
Florence Harden.”
Florence went through the introduction like one in a
dream, for she was completely bewildered by hearing her
aunt, as she supposed her to be, addressed as Mrs. Sinclair.
When, on their return home, Mrs. Sinclair made no allu
sion to the manner in which Mr. and Mrs. Evering had ad
dressed her, she began to imagine that they might inadver
tently miscalled her name, and soon dismissed the subject
froin^her thoughts.
Monday morning found Mrs. Harden and Melissa closet
ed together, endeavoring to decide whether it would be
best to invite the Everings to tea, together with two or three
families of tlie lirst class, or to muster all their forces, and
make a tremendous effort for an entertainment on a grain I
scale, and invite all the elite of the town and its environs
Finally, so vascillatiug were their mindi respecting it, that
they summoned Phebe, a very staid 4 atfd worthy person,
that they might receive the benefit of her opinion*
44 What is done in a hurry, is seldom done well,” said
ahe, in winding up her remarks, and this sage maxim, in
troduced in so timely a manner, turned the sc*le in favor of
a small, select party. But what was to be done with 44 Aunt
Mansfield,” was a question more difficult to settle than the
one relative to tlie seats in the church. 8hc might, it was
true, if she only thought so, remain quietly in her own
chamber, or stay in tbe kitchen with Phebe, aud Matty and
Patrick, and render them some assistance, as there would
be plenty to do; but they did not like to propose to her
either of those methods of spending the evening. As to the
cordisl manner in which Mr. and Mrs. Evering greeted her,
it was, Mrs. Harden said, nothing at all, and sne doubted
not but that they would be highly offended, should they find
her enjoying all tbe privileges of a guest at a party made
expressly in honor of themselves. Accordingly, at the
dinner-table, by way of experiment, the subject of the par
ty was introduced, and the impropriety of persons in the
humbler walks of life seeking to thrust themselves into tlie
society of those above them, was dwelt upon at large. The
understanding of their guest, however, appeared to be un
commonly obtuse, and their minds remained unrelieved by
any intimation on her part, that she should prefer to remain
in her own room, or make herself useful by assisting Phe
be and Matty.
The evening appointed for the party arrived. At an ear
ly hour, before any of the guests began to assemble, Mrs.
Sinclair entered the drawing-room, and took a seat in tbe
most obscure corner. Her black silk dress looked very
well by candle-light, and her dark, glossy hair. smoothly
parted on her forehead, corresponded admirably with her
style of beauty.—Mrs. Harden bit her lips, and exchanged
a meaning glance with Melissa; but they felt constrained to
bear tlie intrusion, as they considered it, in silence.
44 1 hope, for your saxe,” said Eliza Evering to her
brother, as they were on their way to Mrs. Harden’s, 44 that
the 4 maid of the raven lock/*we met yesterday, will be at
tbe party.* 1
44 I hope she will,” he replied; 44 1 thought her the most
beautiful girl I ever saw.”
44 Mother thinks, by tbe. description I gave of her,
that sbe must be tbe young lady she saw with Mrs. Sin
clair, whom she introduced as Miss Florence Harden. If
so, she is doubtless a connection of Mrs. Harden's, and we
shall probably see her this evening.”
Florence, who had been required by her mother to su
perintend a variety of arrangements, had not time to com
plete her toilette till most of the company had assembled.
Mrs. Sinclair continued to retain her station in the olscurc
corner, which Melissa had very adroitly contrived to screen,
by placing before it n luxurious chair for an exceedingly
corpulent gentleman, who, moreover, afflicted with the gout,
would not be likely to speedily change his position. The
screen, both'the inanimate and animate part, was adjusted
just in time, the Everings being immediately announced.
The bustle occasioned by their arrival, had pretty well sub
sided, when Florence, simply, yet elegantly attired, entered
tbe apartment. The expedition she had been obliged to
use in arranging her dress, had given a fine glow to her
cheeks, and made her dark eyes appear more lustrous.
44 How beautiful!” was the involuntary exclematioa of Ed
ward Evering. Having exchanged salutations with those
near her, she contrived to accomplish the somewhat diffi
cult passage between the chair of the corpulent gentleman
and the wainscot, and took a seat be«ide. the neglected
guest. The eyes of WiBard Evering and jiis sister follow
ed her and they then perceived Mrs. Siaclair. Mrs. Har

“For certain reasons, my feelings may have been lc. c s

vonr self no uneasiness. But what is lire plan you allude
to ?"
Florence, in reply, informed her that Mr. Evering and
his wife, and their son and daughter, were at the hotel, and
that her mother had just told her that she had sent an invi
tation to them to take seats in their pew, should they wish
to attend church, which they haci accepted ; and that in
consequence of which, her aint and she would be obliged
to remain at home- or ail will the “help.”

thing to occasion me more mortification and chagrin, than
being obliged to permit a person of her standing to mingle
upon terms of equality with persons whose presence 1 es
teem an honor,”
44 Do you allude to that beautiful girl ?” said Miss Ever
ing, looking at Florence.
I allude to the Widow Mansfield,” she replied, “who
live? in JI , and whom Mrs. Sinclair, whose late hus
band was Mr. Harden’s half brother, employs as her seam
stress.”
44 1 know Mrs. Mansfield perfectly well, nnd should feel
gratified to meet her on the present occasion.—You must
pardon tne, however, at being unable to discover her among
your guests.”
44 But you can certainly see the woman who aits behind
Mr. (luimby, that large gentleman.”
44 Yes. I can partly see her.”
44 Well, then, you *-(*e the widow Mansfield, do you not?”
44 No, indeed, it is Mrs Sinclair, tlie same ladv my father
and mother met .with, lout Sabbath, soon after leaving
church. Had you been familiarly acquainted with her as I
am, > ou could not have mistaken li«*r for Mrs. Mansfield.”
4 ‘ What you say is impossible !” said Mra. Harden, turn
ing pale.
* 4 By no mentis ; and to convince vou that I am not labor-*
ing under a hallucination, we will appeal to my mother,
who, very opportunely, is coming this way. Is not that
Mrs. Sinclair, mother, whose face is just^perceptible above
the shoulder of yonder fat gentleman ?”
44 Certainly; do you doubt the evidence of your own
eyes? I am on ray way to speak to her,lopersuade her
and that charming Miss Harden—who is I presume, n con
nexion of yours. Miss Harden—to emerge from thatcbscurc
corner, where it appears as if they had gone on purpose to
hide themselves.”
Mrs. Harden waited to hear no more, but going up to
Melina, and taking her by the arm, they left the apartment
together. In a few minutes a note was handed to Mrs.
Sinclair, from Mrs. Harden, requesting an interview.
44 Excuse me for a short time,” said she to Mrs. Ever
ing, 41 and if you please, introduce my young friend to your
son and daughter, wlio are coming this way, I dare say, to
requ»?at the favor of me.”
It would require too much space to relate all the conver
sation that parsed between her and Mrs, Harden ar.d Melis
sa. She however, voluntarily promised notto expose the
manner in which they had treated her to the Everings.
44 I have accomplished my object,” saivl she, “and I have
no feelings of revenge to gratify. You have all of you ap
peared in your true characters, and I am so well pleased
with that of Florence, that, with the concurrence of her
father, I shall adopt her as ray daughter. You, perhaps,
may have learnt a lesson, which will profit you non re than
wealth. On your account, more than on my n, we will
now, if you please, rejoin the company.”
As may Ik* imagined, the desire of Mrs. Sinclair to adopt
Florence as her daughter, w as readily conceded by her
father. Florence accompanied her when she returned t®
H- , when they found Mr . Mansfield entirely recover
ed from the effects of her accident. It was Mrs. Sinclair’s
first care to settle uprn her nil income which would make
her easy for life.
Willard Evering did not fail to cultivate the acquaintance
with Florence already commenced, and finding her as rich
in moral nnd mental endowments as in personal beauty,
soon yielded to her his heart, which was speedily followed
by the offer of his hand.
The splendid bridal celebiated a few months afterwards
at the mansion of Mis.Sinclair, shewed that the offer was
not rejected.
From the Boston Times, of Wednesday.
We paid n visit yesterday' afternoon to the scene of ope*
retions, and found everything progressing in fine style.
The streets leading to the Monument, are being graded and
free from obstructions—the square about the Monument all
ready for its visiters—workmen are putting up tbe seats for
1,500 ladies on the northern glacis, nnd erecting the stage
which will be occupied by the orator, the distinguished
guests, and the committee. The stage is on the nortnerly
side of the monument, nbout 100 paces off towards the wa
ter where the British landed. Between the stage and the
Monument is the area where the 80,000 persons will be ac
commodated, tbe glacis, and the northerly side of Monu
ment squart. After filling the area with the procession and
the glacis with the ladies—both of which will be surrounded
by lines of military—tbe balance of the ladies and the pub
lic at large, will be at liberty to occupy Monument square,
in common with the military*, who will see that the ladies
are provided with the most favorable location.
BOSTON, June 17.
The Celebration.
The annals of our country furnish no eaual to the cele
bration at Bunker Hill on the Seventeenth day of June, eigh
teen hundred and forty-three. At Boston, on Friday after
noon, tbe Rail Roads and Steamboats began to pour in their
living myriads, as though the uhole country was coming.
But it was left for Saturday morning to witness such an in
flux of human beings as beggars all description—from the
Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island. Great Western,
Salem, Dedham, and Taunton Branch Rail Roada, there
came train after tram, and locomotive after locomotive, all
bringing passengers in thousands. Tbe steamers from Cape
Cod, Cape Ann, Nantucket, Holmes Hole, Barnstable,
Marshfield, Duxbury. Nahant, Marblehead, Square Bay,
Scituate, Plymouth, and Plumb Island, came in with loads
upon loads.
To say that "nature smiled” upon tbe nation's jubilee
would but inadequately express the splendor of the duy,
vouchsafed to the Sixty-Eighth Anniversary of the '‘first
blow” for American Liberty. The sun with all his prime
val splendor rose to glad the hearts of thousands and tens
of thousands of anxious participants in the great pageant;
nnd served to remind them of the Sun of Freedom which
has carried on his rays of light, the blessings of civil and re
ligious Liberty to every corner of this happy land! displacing
aud effacing the deeds of despotism aatl intolerance which
had become*Boobnoxious to her sons.
At sun rise on Saturday morning the roaring of artillery
commenced from the forts, the vessels of war and the Hill;
and by seven o’clock the whole city seemed in motion.
Here were soldiers hurrying to their quarters; marshals
with their insignia of office; banners of this society and of
that, flying to and fro, as though the city had been turned in
to one vast fair.
Capt. Sturgis on Thursday anchored the Revenue Cut
ter Hamilton precisely on the s|»ot where the British frig
ate Glasgow was stationed on the' memorable day of the
battle,, and on the occasion of the present celebration the
“roar of cannon” was heard from the same point though in
indication of far different proceedings.
The shipping in port hoisted their colors in honor of the
day, and the vessels attached to the naval department tired
salutes from time to time.
Triumphal Arches were erected at various points in
streets through which the procession passed.
A staging was erected in front of the monument for the
accomodation of the Orator of the Day, and all distinguish
ed individuals who were present.
The Glacis in front of the staging was fitted with seats to
accommodate fifteen hundred ladies; and by appointment
of tlie Chief Marshal of the day, a Marshal of this station,
with a full corps of Assistants, were jn attendance to receive
such ladies as were entitled to seats.
The procession left the State House about IP A. M. and
passing down Park street. Divisions No 3 and 4 filing from
the Common gate at the corner of Tremont and Park streets.
The whole then passed down Tremont, through Elliott,
Washington, State, Mecbants* Row, South Market. Com
mercial, Clark, Hanover, Blackstone and Haverhill-streets,
over Warren Bridge, through Charlestown square, Main.
Franklin, and High streets to the Monument square.
Returning they passed through Winthrop and Warren
streets and Charlestown square over Charles River Bridge,
through Prince, Hanover aud Tremont streets to Boston
common.
1 o’clock. P. M.—The President lias just arrived at the
spot, consecrated by tlie "blood of Heroes and Martyrs
of the Revolution; the spot which of all others may be em
phatically termed the 4 Altar of American Liberty.”
With the Bunker Hill Monument Association he has just
taken the place assigned him under the awning provided for
his accommodation and that of the other distinguished men
of the Nation assembled on this occasion. The President
was supported on his left by J. T. Buckingham, Esq. Pre-
sidentof the Association, and on the right by Governor
Morton.
On tlie platform wereover 100 soldiers of the Revolution,
3 of whom foaght at the battle of Lexington, and 12 at Bun
ker Hill. On the arrival of theprocession upon tbe ground
and after they took their stations the proceedings of the day
were commenced by a very appropriate prayer from Rev.
Mr. Ellis, who was appointed chaplain for the occasion.
Mr. Webster then addressed the assembly in a speech
replete with eloquence and patriotism; at the close of which,
he was greeted with the plaudits of thousands of spectators.

Attain* In Florida.
While in St. Augustine recently, we took particular
pains to ascertain tlie true posture of affairs in this territory.
We were particularly anxious to know whether the late
outrage near Newnansville, was perpetrated by negroes or
Indians. Such is the tide of emigration now setting towards
Florida, that it is important to furnish correc. information
,on this subject, so as not tociente unnecessary alarm,
where there is perfect safety. We saw a letter to a citi
zen of St. Augustine, written by a highly respectable per
son in Newuausville, which may convince any one that no
Indian l.us been near that place Tor many months past. In-
dependant of any thing this writer says, it is clear that the
testimony of a scared negro girl, who said that “the Indian?
had packs on, bright tomahawks, and no rifles,” is not reli
able. Now. an Indian was never abroad on a war party or
foray without his rifle, and never with his pack. Moreover j
they have had no tomahaw ks in use since the beginning of'
the*war, and if they had. they would not expose a bright!
surface as large as a shilling. Every alarm that occurs |
nowin Florida is attributed to a hitherto active enemy, but
one which lias not really been North of Peas Creek since
last August. Their numbers are now dwindled away to |
a dispirited few, many of whom are under Sam Jones, who
docs not wish to go West, for fear that revenge may be taken

Mr. Stevens is also much esteemed in private
