This young man was Nelson Nickels !" ' The name is familiar to me !" said Ogdcu, who had listened to her simply told narrative wilh'the deepest iutercnt. " I now remember. It was he who was tried for the murder of a boy found in j the very vault whence I took you ! He they wanted to sell it to! . It was a rich person's child that had wandered , into that part of the town. I was looking at its pretty dress and curly hair, when it breathed ! I resolved to try and savt it!

The search, however, was unsuccessful. He could not even hear of a or Admiral of the name he sought in the British navy ; though he ascertained thai there was a frigate lost ia rale, off the Coast cf the United Stairs, about the period stated t and that most of the oSetrt were saved.

His hand held that of the maiden, who was exceedingly lovely." Her eyes were downcast, and the lids trembling with a sweet, embarrassed motion. It was Ad elaide. A half year's abode beneath the maternal roof. of the kind Mrs. Neville had restored her health and cheerfulness, matured her form, and unfolded all its beauty. She was tall, but not too. tall, gracefully shaped, with an air at once retiring and charmingly winning. Her timid fearful lrok had given place to one of sweet serenity and inward happi ness. There was, however, at this mo ment, a delicate sensitive expression up on her fine features, that was perhaps called forth by the circumstances under which we discover her. Ogdeu Neville, who holds her tremulous hand in his, iu the shadowy twilight of the window, is, to-morrow to depart for Europe a,nd Paris, to pass a year in the medibal school of that metropolis. He has sought this interview, by detaining her gently, as she was about to follow his mother from the room, to assist her in making ready his travelling trunk. Six months had proved quite long enough for he lovely Uukhown to win not only he warm affections of 3Irs. Neville, but the heart of her son. From the time of her rescue trom the den or the nsh-wonian. she had not left this lady's roof. After her recovery from the effects of her cruel treat uieut, Mrs. Neville told her to re gard her as her mother; and with touch- nc artlessnpss and ronfiilMrv tlm fripnrt. ess child threw her aims round her. and-P.. from prison, and escaped the wf pt on her neck. Thus wnea led the . , bond of their love, and Mr. Neville soon " "id not tuioK he could i so gui - I - a a I 1 found that it was impossible to withhold i-tj. ue Mlu. fromher all the freeuess and. wealth ot-fJ child in the inner room, where you left it?' . ' 3Iv answer, ahlch was quiet, though I trembled, led them to believe I knew nothing of the flight of their victim. They then began to talk together, and accuse each other for not doing the work better. The result was, they instantly resolved to leave New York, and return to Philadelphia. We arrived here, on foot as before, travelling by eight and hiding by day, the week before you saw me iu the market. She went directly to the old house, and Gudisg it in ruins, took possession of the vault. The first th r to days she went out very cautiously; but having discovered that she was safe, she went boldly to the market-place with fish, and set up'a stall." "Can you tell how you were trans ferred from the possession of Nickels to this hag!" asked Ogden. 44 1 discovered it only from their con versation with each other. It was ma il y months before I was able to unravel the whole mystery ! It seems that when the shallop sunk. Nickels swam with me, and reached the steps of tho house, which you know projects over the wa ter, aud by them got into the buildio. and bore me to the fire. He dwelt there with his mother, and also with Massey, her hu.-Land, (the wicked man who wanted to throw me into the water,) a . a " mmb nu tho dwarf, luese latter bad a quarrel with the forni'-r, and seeing they twk.s deep interest in me, resolved to akc me from their possesaion while they Koncegiian Xrwy. A letter dated JSergen, JNorwav, oepnemoer. zv, says that the Oriental leprosy as described by Moses, exists, at, this inomcnt in Nor way. . In . addition to a leprosy", house established some centuries ago, the gov ernment' has. recently built a hospital,' the first ,'that the world ever knew, for the cure of leprosy?, The disease is con fined almost exclusively to the western coast of 'Norway, and the number of lepers is nearly one iu fifty v . The writer adds, that it is from the western coast that the . emigration to America takes place, and that the opinion of the atteud . ing physician at the hospital in Norway' is, that the disease will show itself among these emigrants in this, country and probably become a pestilent disease in the Western States. mother a love I feuc" was so rood : an gentle 7 so obliging; so seeking others' happiness ; so artless ; so pure in neari and character ! It was a wonder to her how she had escaped unpolluted, at least in spirit, from the scenes through which she had passed. Yet' there she was, day by day, seated on a taborct at the feet of Mrs. Neville, who taught "her to sew, to" embroider, and to be useful, ccn- tie, and free from sin ! Ogdcn would come in and sit dowu aud talk with hist mother to gaze on her. At length he was happy in uo other society but her's Nor do I think he was cuiltT. I " now believe the woman, Massey Finke and her boy, to have been the murder er. I learn they fled about that time. But their trial will soon take place, and I have no doubt they will bo found guilty, aud Nickels pardoned !" . u I trust so ! He told tne he had found mc in the boat, and, finding life in mc, had taken mc into his fishing-vessel. He sail.-d home with me in the storm, though a wicked bad man with him wanted him to throw me into the sea ! But Nelson was firm to save me. Bnt to life ?'

The boats might have return ed to the wreck sgaio, seeing it did not founder, and from thence bctn taken off ! I can hear of no other Teasel of war but this, as bavin j been lost ou our coast. Before I rlorn. home, I shall try and discover the truth in reference to a matter in which Adelaide it so deep ly interested. Whatever be hir family, there can be no change in my love to a a M a her, whom, when 1 shall return, you will have a holier chitn to call your daughter than that which is bacd alone on benevolent affection." We shall suffer the year of Ogdcn Neville's absence to pa by, and revert to a period a few days prior to his ex pected return.

The maiden lifted her eyes with a' grateful smile to the face of her bene factress, and then, as if memory of child hood and home rushed upon her. the tears gushed forth from her eyes.

" Your mUfurtune, my dear Adelaide, have endeared you to mc I" She folded her in her embrace as she spoke, and for a moment all three were profoundly silent. Ogdcn was letting his thoughts fly with rapidity over the past history cf her sufferings, and then, passing tho present, penetrating into the future, and painted, iu glowing colors, scenes of happiness for the lovely suffer er. His mother was lifting her heart in grateful prayer to God for making her the instrument of her protection; and Adelaide waa thinking only of the joy aud blis of the present moment!
