Esther. Mason. Warren's "Exierieiices of a barrister." . , About forty years ago, Jabez Woodford, a foreman of shipwrights in the I'lymouth -.-dockyard, whilst carelessly crossing , one of the transverse beams of .a . seventy-four gun-ship, building in that arsenal, missed his footing, fell to the bottom of the hold of the huge vessel, and was killed on the , spot". . -He left ' a widow and one child a ' boy seven years of age, of placid, endear ing disposition, but weak intellect almost -inastatet)f destitution. He haid been a coarse-tempered, improvident man ; and like too many of his class,' in thosedays at least, dissipated the whole of j his . large tarulngs in present sensuous indulgence, utterly careless or unmindful of the future. Esther Woodford, wuo, at' the time of' her iiushand's dtath, scarcely numbered five- 'and-twenty years, was still a' remarkably. comely, as well as interesting,1 gentle-man-, nered person ; and moreover had, for .her station in life, received a tolerable educa tion. Her rash, ill-assorted marriage with; Woodford had been hastily contracted" when she .was barely seventeen years of age, in conscquence-'of a jealous pique which she, for some silly reason lor other,' had conceived regarding Henry Mason, an intelligent, young' sea-faring man, of fair prospects in life, aDd frank deposition, with whom she had for some time previously, as the west-country phrase has 'it, "kept; company,"-, and who .was, moreover, ten derly attached to her.. - Esther's married life was one long repentance of the rash act ; and the severance of the tie which bftund her to an ungenial mate after the subsidence of the natural horror and com--pa-.-ion exe'ited by the sudden aatl fright ful nature of the "catastrophe must have, 'been felt as a most blessed rclief.j- A few wC-eks afterwards, she accepted an asylum with her brother-in-law, Davies, a market- ' gardener in the vicinity . of Pfrmouth, ' where, by persevering industry with her needle, and thrifty helpfulness in her sis ter's household duties, she endeavored to . compensate her kind-hearted relatives for tlie . support of herself and helpless, half witted child." Mason she "had never1 seen since the day previous to'( her marriage; but she knew he was prospering in the busy world, and that, some time before her 4 husband s death, he had been appointed chief-mate in a first-class merchant-ship, trading to the Pacific. He had sailed about n fortnight previous to that event ; and now, ten lazy months having' slowly floated past, the lover of her youth, with whom, in that last sunny day of her young life--how ? distant did it seem, viewed through the long intervening vista of days and nights of grief and-tears! she had danced so joyously heneath the flowering chestnut-trees, ; was once more pear her; and it wasoh happiness I7 no j longer a sin to think 6f him no longer a crime to recall and dwell upon the numberless proofs of the deep affection, the strong love, he had once felt for her. Once felt! Per haps evn nowf- How swiftly had the intelligence communicated, by her sympa thizing sister tinted with bright jhues the dark curtain of the future ! f "And yet," murmured p'oqr Esther, the flush of hope fading las suddenly 'as it had arisen, as with meek sad eyes she glanced at the reflection of her, features in -the. small oval glass suspended above the mantel-piece "I almost doubt, Susy, dear, if he would recognize me ; even if old feelinrrs anu old times - have not long since faded from his' memory"- ' "Stuff and trumpery about fadinsaway !" broky in Mrs. Davies.

I The next tvetk thpy were married; and one of the partners in the finn by which ,Mason-j was ibtiij-loyed happening to'., dine 'Wiih us on the ' day of the ; wedding, the conversation turned for a few minutes on the Jridegroom's character and prospects. He lias the ring of true metal in him,,r: I remarked ; "and is, I should suppose, a capital scarnjin?" ' ; " A "A first-rate one," replied; Mr. 'Roberts. "Indeeil so liigh is my father's opinion of Mm, that he' intends to confer upon him ' j the command of a fine brig now building lor us in tnej lhames, and intended ior the West.

The subject then dropped, and it was a considerable : time afterwards, and under altogether altered circumstances, when the npwly-niarridd couple once more -crossed my path in life.,; ' f It was about eight months after his mar rfiige though he. had been profitably entighj employed . in the interim that". Ilenry Mason, in consequence of the wel come announcement that the new brig was a last ready for her captain and cargo, arrived in London to enter upon, his new appointment!: -' " f ' ' 1 "These lodgings, Esther," said he, as he' wjis preparing to go out, soon after break fakt, on the morning after his arrival, "are scarcely the thing; and as I,1 like you,-am afstrangfcr in Cockne3r-land, I had better 'consult some of the 'firm upon the subject, before we decide upon permanent ones.

I Inquiring hisi way every two or. -three mftnutes, Mason presently found himself in thje vicinityof Tower Stairs. A scuffle in frtjnt of a public-house attracted his atten tion ; and his ready sympathies were in an instant enlisted in behalf of a young sailor, vinly struggling in -tiie grap of several athletic men, and crying lustily on the gaping bystanders for help. Mason sprang forward, caught ona of the assailants by tljje collar, and hurled him with some vio lence airainst the wall. A fierce outcry erected this audacious interference with gentlemen who, in those good old times, wpref but executing tne law in a remarta-: bfy jgood .old manner.
