BIanche Trueman, his absence' had sent
a knell, deeply ominous, art - sadly, but
sarely ct last.came'tLe dreadful conviction
j 1 that her absent lover was sleeping mid c
X cean'ti depths. To add to her sorrows about
this time her father was threatened with
la consequence of disastrous losses by
. -. t i .
failure ofctops. Mr. Trueman's heart sank
under theshock,and Blanche, with a no
ble disregard of her own sorrow, bent all
bftr energies to restore her father to his for
mer peace of mind. " Matters as yet had
not reached a crisis,but grim poverty star
ed them in tbe 'face, and had Mr. True
man's creditors but taken advantage of the
pressure, he would have been utterlf ruin
ed. Hourly expecting that they would pref
sent their claims which he kuew he waj
not able to liquidate ; Mr. Trueman was
tortued by harrowing fears, and were it not
for Blanche's sweet ministering, ho would
have lost all hope..' ' '
One evening, a shoit time afer 1 these
troubles, Mr. Tiueman was surprs'd bv a
v:siUrora Lord Lindon, requested a private
interview with Mr. Trueman, Wondering
what his business might be,jMr. Trueman
led the way to Ibe library. The inter
view lasted t for nearly three hours, an 1
when they emerged from, the library .Lord
Lindon' 3 countenance wore an exulting
8mile,while Mr. Trueman's fa.e bote marks
of some" severe raerital struffrle. We will "
briefly relate the cause of these conflicting
emotions, of Mr. Trueman, and his evil re
nirs had prompted him to make the cir
cumstances favor his su'tforthe hand of
Blanche. His object in visit iusr Mr. Tiue
man was to offer pecuniary assi'starjce.thvjs
hoping to influence, the fatherin hisfavo
petliaps inducing him tb urge his suit to
his daughter In Subtle terms diti hd po
tray t Mr. Trueman, the consequence of
the disasters if his offer was not aceepted.
Mr Trueman's pride was flattered byVuch'
a splendid offer, but stiil his hearTraisgave
him, when Lord Lindon hinted at an uuion
with Blanche. i The struggle was' terrible
but his pride at last triumphed, and he ac-
c?ptl Lord Lindon's offer at the 8arae time
intimating that"lie; would favor his suit.
Lord Lindoo left the house .a happy man
Th dailinir darlinsT wish of Ids heart was
accomplished, and by the ' loan of a few

must bave at all events. The nett d;iv
be proffered his fortune and his heart to
Blanche but she repulsed him' with firm-
ness,feeHng that Lord Lindon never could
occupy a place in her hearts affect-on. -

Tumbling with rage, the kngrjl Lord in-

but the father pjomised him that he'should
consent, and . my lord was in a degree pa
cified. It was a painful task to Mr, True-tra-i
to break the subject to Blanche, but
at last told her all. In cowinjr language
he spoke of the splendor of such an aliiince
and evils that would follow in case she
should rfue to listen to Lord L'ndonV
su:.J. For a time theloving heatt ofBlanche
rebelled against pu!j a union;hut then she
thought 6T her father's gray hairs , of the
probable loss of James Curtis,of, her father's
sorrows and slfe determined to accede to
her father's wishes. "Tell Lord Lindon,"
said Blanche to her father, "that I. will rb
his wife in the sight of mab,but before God
I am the wife of the absent James Curtis.
Tell him that my. hand shall be his,butm'y
heart is another's he who now sleej be
neath ocean's waves." '.'God bless you my
daughlet," sobbed the aged father; "you
have saved you father from ruin." ' Y, .,
Blanche's sentiments were communica-1
ted to Lord Lindon, but he appeared not tor
notice the matter, but laughingly said to
Mr. Trneman, " ;
"Xever fear, sir, but your daughter will
yet give me her heart. -
Preparations for the -wedding ceremony
wee very soon commenced,and great was
the delight of the dames of Oakdale thai
such a grand wedding was soon to be con
summated.! The wedding day arrived,and
Blanche Trueman and Lord Lindon were
married ; but Blanche felt in her inmost
soul that the ceremony was a mockery.
Immediately after the wedding.the married
couple removed to Lord Lindon's mansion
in London, and in around of gayeties and
"dissipations the honeymoon slipped away
yet Blanchie was mi8erable,but ever before
her husband she was Jie self possessed,dig
niSad wife "and woman, doing the honors
of his house,; with a queenly grace,charms
her numerous visitors by her elegant man
ners and winning ways. Lord Lindon was
proud of his wife, as well he might bo but
he treated her with a certain haughty dig-1
nityr which the yearning heart ofBlanche
could ill brook." " Thgs stood matters for
three years after the marriage, and chiN
drenr were her's; yet the mem ory of the
absent Curtis was as green as ' when she
married. Shall we follow the fortunes of
James Curtis. , . , . . j; :

I A Capital Story..
Some years since, an eccentric old ge
nius whom for; "convenience --we vill.call
J3arnes, wasjemployed by a farmer living
in a town some six'or seven miles Westerly
from the Penobscot river,' to dig a well.
The soil and substratum being mostly sand
old Barns after having progressed down j
wards about forty feet found one morning
upon going out early to his work, that the
well had essentiallv caved in and
E
was full
nearly to the top. So having that desire,
wiiicli men have ot -.knowing wliat wnl be
said of them afte,r they are dead, and no
one being yet astir, he concealed himself
in a rank growth of burdocks by the side
of a boar.d fence near the mouth of the
well having first left his hat and frock up
on the windlass over ther well. At length
breakfast being ready a boy was despatch
ed to call him to his meal,- when Ip ! it'
was seen that Barces was buried in the
grave unconsciously dug with " his own
hauds. Thd alarnr beiug gi.ven and the
family assembled,1 jit -: was decided first ; to
eat breakfast and then send for the coroner,
the minister and bis'wifo and. children.
Such apathy did not flatter Barnes' self es
teem a bit, but he waited patiently, 'detei"
mined to hear what was to be said and
bi'i what t o Via opfn t '
r Presently 'all paih'es arrived and began
'prospecting the scene of the catastrophe,'
as people usually do in such cases. At
length they drew together to exchange o
pinions as to what should be done. fThe
minister at once gave it as his opinion that
they had better leveliup the well and let
Barnes remain : 'for,' said hei 'he is now
beyond the temptation to sin ; and in the
day of judgment it will made no difference
whether be, i buried fie feet under the
ground '.or fifty, for heris bound to fcome
forth in either cane.' The coroner like
wjse agreed that it would be a needless
expense to h4s family or tho town to disin
ter him when he wasj so'effectuaTy buried.'

His wife IhcAight that as "he had left his
hat and frovk, it woti'dj. hardly bo worih
while to dig him out for1 the rest of his
clothes ;' and so it was s.ttjed to let him
remain. . K

result of the inquest laid quiejuntil the

unknown. After lemaining incognito for
about three years, orjie morning he sudden
ly appealed (hatlessjand frockless as he
went) at the doof of the farmer forwhom
lie had agreed to ! dig the unfortunate
well To. say that an avalanche of qnes.
tions were rained
upon him as to his
mysterious reappearance. Ssc., would con
vey but a feeble "idea of the excitement
which his bodily p'esence created. But
, j
the old m.in bore i it all oiiieUv, and ; at

length informed : them that on finding
himse'f buried he wailed, for them to dig
him out, until his patience exhausted.when
he set to work to di him .lf out,and only
the day before had succeeded : for his ideas

A Great Country for 'he Ladies
I The time for marriage in Sparta was
fixed by law ; that of the meur' at about
thirty ; that of the women at eighteen.
All men who continued unmarried alter
the appoin'ed time were liable to a prose-,
cution-; and old bachelors were prevented
f bm being present-at the exercises .of the
Spartan maidens, and were denied the u-
sual respect and honors paid to the' aged.
No matriage portion was allowed jwith
any of the maidejls, so that neither poverty
Sould prevent a gallant, nor riches tempt
him to marry Contrary to his inclinations.
The parent w ho had three childaen en.
joyed considerable immunities, and those
with four children paid no taxes whatever,
a' regulation which all married, men with
large families will readily admit to be
most wise and equitable. It was cu.iom
ary for the bridesmaid." to cut oft all the
bride's hair on the Redding d,3jf, so that
for 6ome time at least, her personal attrac
tions should increase; with her yeare. ' .;-;
