CHAPTER XVI.
Felix (as I yet always call him) and Alice,
your father and mother, were surprised one
morning by the appearance of Simon and
Susan, for Simon bad kept his word and mar
ried Susan. They came to apply for places,
and Alice and Susan were so unfeignedly
glad to see them that they at once prevailed
on lady Coleville to employ them.
Thus time sped on with golden wings to
your father and mother, for 1 am persuaded
that no two ever enjoyed more wedded fe
licity. There was not a ripple that ever
broke the tender affection of each to each,
and old lady Coleville's life was perfectly
charmed in fondling their childrtn. One
day she said : “I hope there’wi.l always be a
baby in the bouse as long as I live. I al
ways want a baby to play with.” I was at
least half my time with them,and Felix often
at my bouse; so were we bosom friends
and ever have been. •
Now, I must slip in an episode in reference
to myself. I was one day, or rather night,
pacing leisurely along Oxford street when «
magnificent equipage drove up to a splendid
mansion and baited, when out stepped a
middle aged man, very elegant and indeed
almost foppishly dressed, and as he turned
bis face 1 saw it was the Prince of Wales.
Regent of the United Kingdom of Great B r 'r
ain and Ireland, afterwards “Fuoi the IV’
as Byron called him, or George the iV
King of the Empire. I looked up at the
bouse and asked the man standing in the
door who lived there.
He replied, Madame Beauchamp, a French
lady. at a late hour I was returning by
the same house along the then empty and
silent street, when I heard a woman’s voice
with a Btrong French accent, and looking up
saw it was the Prince she was addressing, wh >
was about to take his leave.
“The curse of Cromwell on her,” said a
man whom I now for the first time saw stand
ing in the shadow of the house watching and
listening; "who would have thought this?”
Just then another man came hobbling up,
for he was lame.
“For the love of God. give me a pendy,”he
begged, holding out his hand, “I am starv
ing.”
• So all beggars say,” was the reply, “even
if they are just done eating. I have got no
money to give. But stop.” he continued as
the man started to go on, “I can tell you
how to get more than a penny, if you will do
bravely as I tell you and not be a coward ’’
“How ?" he asked.
“Come here,” he said. And the two whis
pered together for several minutes, and
neither had seen me, as I was nearly bidden
by an angle of the balcony.
My curiosity was aroused, for I suspected
a robbery, and I determined to await the
event.
The Prince left and immediately the lame
man mounted the steps and pulled the bell.
The lady bad just closed the door, and sup
posing the Prince had sent back for some
thing left, opened it again, when the beggar
said hastily:
"I am come to warn you of danger.”
“Who are you, and what danger do you
mean? Mind, there are servants a plentv
and at hand to stop any trick at a moment’s
notice.”
“You have nothing to fear,” he said, “if
you do as I tell you.”
He then whispered something hurriedly,
and said loud enough for me to hear:
“You know now.”
“Who else besides you knows this?” she
asked with a huskv voice.
“No one,” he replied.
“And how did you know it then?”
He whispered again, and she whispered
also, and there seemed to be some difficulty
between them which she finally adjusted,
when she banded him a purse, and bowing
yery low with a blessing pronounced on her
head, he hobbled away.
“You got it, did you,” asked the man who
sent him.
“Yes.” he replied, “a small sum.”
“Don’t lie about it,” said the other; “I saw
the purse, and don’t fear my demanding a
share. I will not touch her gold.”
“Blessings on you,” said the beggar, “ ‘A
friend in need, is a friend indeed.’” They
then moved off.
But let me introduce you into that house
by proxy as it was told to me. The rooms
were magnificent and princely indeed. If
earthly splendor and abounding luxury with
perfect health could give contentment,
surely contentment was here. But what
does the owner of this gorgeous magnificence
say? Returning to her chamber, which many
a Queen would envy, she hissed through her
teeth:
“The Prince! the Prince, indeed! What a
tedious bore to listen to bis twaddle, bis silly
compliments, as if speaking to an empty-
headed school girl, or novice. He has no
depth of intellect himself, nor the under
standing to discover or appreciate it in an
other. O, what a lifel How galling 1 how
burdensome! O, for a draught of that Leth
ean water which the fable said caused obliv
ion! 0 how gladly would I forget all I re
member and begin anew. What? to live
over again tne same life? Not never!”
“O the heavy-laden hours of a life of list-
lees unrest! a life of memories hoarding
scenes of horror, and tannting with the sac
rifice of golden opportunities at the shrine of
devils. The serpent thought allows no joy
or peace to enter my heart. ’Tis the watch
ful dragon that sleeps not, bat tortures both
night and day. I am isolated from my kind
—a pelican of the wilderness. There is not
one creature in this wide, wide world con
nected with me by sympathy or interest, nor
one to feel a pang or shed a tear over my
dead body; and there is but one to whom I
do not feel the very same indifference and he
despises and contemns me. What do 1 live
for then? For excitement; the greater the
better. If I could be in a continued whirl of
excitement and of upheaving revolutions, so
as to drown thought on the past, life would
have some spice and zest in it. But oh! the
dead, dreary burden] of monotonous, unva
ried wretchedness!”
She threw herself on a sofa and covered
her face with a handkerchief.
About six months after this, a messenger
came for me to write a lady’s will and as
this was no new thing, I was not surprised
but asked who the lady was. He replied he
was not certain who she was,but bore the mes
sage He gave directions to the house, and I
went accordingly and to my surprise found
it to be the very house at which I saw the
Prince. I rang the bell and a servant ushered
me in, and conducted me at once to the
French lady’s room. o n * gorgeous bed
nearly buried in eider down, I saw a woman
lying, wasted to a mere skeleton. She turn
ed away her face and said:
“Sit there by that small table,” a table in
laid with ivory and gold.
“Yon seem feeble, madame,” I said.
“Feeble!'’ she echoed, “I am a thing pois
ed on a hair between the confines of two
worlds.”
“But, madame, I hope your case is not so
desperate as you suppose."
“Hush!” she said; “no unmeaning com
monplace pretense of sympathy. I am
wearied out with all such hollow mockery
What do you know, or care what my case
may be? Know this, if it concerns you to
know anything about me, that I have noth
ing to live for. and nothing I shall regret to
leave behind. ”
“This is wonderful,” I exclaimed, “if all
this splendor and the wealth it bespeaks are

Simon White and wife, I was utterly aston -
ished. She seemed to anticipate this and said
hurriedly:
“Ask me no questions, but write what 1
direct you.” , ,
When I had finished the will, I asked her
if she wished to sign her name.
“Not now," she replied. “But hear my
other reason for sending for you.”
"You see this casket,” holding it up.
"Yest”
“Swear to me you will not open it, and
that you will deliver it with your own hands
to the Secretary of Sr ate immediately after
my death, and fiot before.”
I did so and took tbe casket.
“Now,” she asked, “what is your charge
for writing my will?”
“Ten pounds,” I repiied.
“Take that,” she raid, handing me a small
pocket book, “and do not open it till you get
home.”
Then af'e-a pause and a visible struggle,
she added in a voice no longer disguised by a
French accent.
“There U yet another reason why I sent
for you. I wished you to have your revenge,
and to exult over iny desolation.”
I started witn an exclamation of horror.
The eyas could never be forgotten Angelina

1 covered my face with luy baud.
"Why do you not cur.e me,” she cried.
“I pity you,” I said, “Oh, Angelica! This
is a sad meeting.”
“But the pure.-t and most sincere we ever
had,” she replied. “Truth speaks here.
There is no deception. I would give a thou
sand worlds, if I had them, and would will
ingly suffer death by crucifixion if I could re
pair the evil I have done.”
“One crucifixion, “I replied, “is sufficient
to atone for all your crimes, and no other
cruc fixion nor any number of worlds with
out it, could a*one for one misdeed much less
for all. Look to Christ, the Propitiation for
our sins, and whose blood cleanses from all
sin, and you will be pardoned and saved.
Plead bis name, plead bis atonement, plead
his holiness, plead his righteousness, leaving
yourself wholly out of view except your faith
and trust in him, and God for Christ’s sake
and for what he has done for you and me,
will pardon you.”
“I thank you,” she said, and now will you
accept this if it be only to show it to others,
and to warn them how poor a possession
beauty with wealth, accomplishments and
station is, without piety, purity, and moral
worth.”
Itook it. It was her picture set in dia
monds.
This was our last meeting. She died pure
ly of wretchedness a week or ten days after.
The pocket book to my surprise contained
£25,00 in five £500 notes. Ou a slip of paper
was written,
“Keep it, or if you should be too fastidious
to use it, distribute it among the deserving
poor, or to whom you please. ”
I delivered the casket to the Secretary of
State, and told him who sent it. This at
once excited the liveliest curiosity, as her
name bad become quite notorious all over
Britain: The Secretary opened it and found
a fu 1 confession of the murder of Sir Paul
Bra’mire by her own hands. She heard the
whole conversation between Sir Paul and
Simon and determined to kill him before he
could see the curate of the parish. From the
library she sped by the secret way to the
iron gate, and as Sir Paul stepped from the
terrece on a level with the gate, she opened
it wide enough to thrust her arm with the
large horseman’s pistol, through it, and fired
in a few feet of Sir Paul’s head: and after
seeing him fall, sped back in rapid flight to
the library again. Godfrey knew nothing
whatever about any violence intended to Sir
Paul, and had never dreamed of such a pur
pose. She had no wish, or intention to sac
rifice Godfrey, but she did intend, and artful
ly contrive to place him between herself and
danger, if any discovery Bhould lead to dan
ger. She therefore induced Godfrey to sleep
at the Hall almost every night, but secretly,
to be ready to aid her in any sudden emer
gency that might arise from Sir Paul’s un
tiring search after George. But she did sac
rifice him by sending him with the gun.
Otherwise he might have escaped: auashe
then utterly forsook him.
I have thus finished my task in giving you
the narrative imposed by your father. Y ou
know already that your uncle from India
who was bred a merchant, and delighted in
traffic, opened a mercantile house in New
York, especially as he was urged to do so by
Lady Coleville, who wished to see him en
gaged in some useful employment. But both
your father and mother vowed they wouldn’t
be moved by any offer to leave London unless
Lady Coleville would go with them; and
vour mother looked as if she would go into
hysterics at the bare mention of it, as she
threw her arms around the old lady’s neck
and wept spasmodically.
“Well, well—you darling,” said the old la
dy, ‘ Felix shall not lose this splendid offer
on my account; for I will go with yon, espe
cially as it would nearly, if not quite, kill me
to part with yon all; and what is an old wo
man after all so much fuss is made about her?
1 only require that you bring my bones, like
Joseph’s, to be buried with my fathers. And
she did go; but she is likely to bring her own
bones, asyoa inform me she is,like Jacob, yet
alive.”
"Yes,” 1 replied, “she is yet alive, and
though ninety years old, is lively as a cricket
and as rational as ever. I often tell her funny
stories at which she laughs as merrily as my
mother, and often smacks me too. Bat they
will all soon be in London.”
“I have not told yon,” remarked the old
man, ‘ ‘what befell Lee and George, the two
favorites of poor Sir Paul Bradmire. The
amiable baronet willed them £5000 apiece,
for he clang to the hope that George would
be found.”
Simon White and Susan, his wife, were
perfectly astonished at the good fortune that
befell them, and more especially at the
even more ruinous houses. The use of
bricks among the Romans, who largely-
employed them as building materials,

country when twenty-one years old, war

the war he passed a year in Germany,
came back and married a daughter of
William Lloyd Garrison and then went

he formed business connections out of
which his control of transportation inter

The old lady kept a private bottle
from which she refreshed herself from
time to time, as she felt the need, though
none of the family knew it. One even

the pantry for doughnuts for her beau,
spied the bottle and had the curiosity to
draw the cork and apply her nose to the
aperture, at which moment the old lady
hove in sight and angrily demanded:
“Well, are you any wiser than you were!
What do you suppose it is?” “I don’t
know what it is, mamma,” answered the
shrinking maiden, “but it smella just
like Charlie’s moustache.”
