Towards the end of the first Ycar&of tier widowhood, she had a slight .attack of ague : for-tl?e benefit of her health, she was invited by my sister Unggs t,nfKpemf;.the winter mouths at her house mi the borders of ihe Esex marshes. Dr. Drench, apprehensive that the depression v spirits under which my aunt hacLlabor- 1 4 ever since the loss of my poor uncle, nti!,nt lead to some fatal derangement of toe system, recommended . a change of scene : my cousin Peter, laudably zeal ous to cai ry the doctor's advice into ef fect, hired i niceiapartment for aunt Su sannah at the undertaker's, directly op )jf)site to the church yard at Kensington.

From ! what I have here stated, it wilf natufallv be inferred that profitable application to my protession wns impracticable. The distance between the aunt and the nephew was soon to be diminished..

The anxiety attendant upon the sale of her property, and the investment, to the greatest advantage, of its proceeds, to gether with the latigue of moving, could not but operate detrimentally to the health of a person so aged and infirm as my aunt Susannah. It was less to uc astonish ment, therefore, liau our grief, that, on the third-day after her removal to the din gy parlor-floor at Kensington, we (the ex pectants) received intelligence from Dr. Drench, that Irs.Weezy was dangerous-! ly ill of a bilious fever! Our distress at I this announcement was greatly aggravated bv the doctor's pressing desire for our im tuediate uttendanc1, as he could give no hopes of her surviving the next four and twenty hours. Never, surely,, vas crea ture blest with a: more affectionate set of relatives! Scarcely had we received the afflictive summons ere we were all at her bed-side, each accompanied by a physi cian and twoTapothecaries. . ; , "Mydearsf" said my aunt. --She spoke faintly, and utlcred only a word or two at a time. -"My dears, this proof of your affectionate solicitude affects me deeply I exjrt?cted no less from you t and of this you will receive a proof; " Ht're we yept bitterly; begging her at the same time not to allude to that. ; "Ah ! mfears I to lose your poor aunt, at he r ti me of 1 i fe -seven ty , on ( y seventy; would be a severe blow to you!" Here we wept more bitterly still. " But, my child re Pi ; for as my children I consider vou, pray for herpray fur her" . ' I ... . , . 1? Here we absolutely roared with grief, and were about to kneel in order to fulfil the solemn task she enjoined us. ! " Pray for her speedy recovery, and long life." f At this precise instant. Doctor Drench; perceiving that his patient was somewhat exhausted by the' fatigue oftalkina;, e quested us to leave, the room, i We in stantly assented. 1 I . , -j Cou sins, oepifivs ,. ie:es, d 6o brst a n d apotl)ecaes, anfffljouii i air apartment. ned to the adjoin- r - - geutlepien t" in- iefe no no pe, The gentlemen to whom this melan tnoiy question wras auuresseti, shook, wiuv bedomiftwgravity, their professional heads, 'The lady cannot, lire through the night," said one of them ; 'the case Is' utterly hopeless : therefore, for us to re- peat our visits, would be an act of dis- honesty.

His pleasing anticipations were coi.fi! m ed : aunt Wheezy did recover. V hat was our joy at this event may be more easily Conceived than described! Our joy, how ever, did not prevent certain little bickr e rings amonst us, the affectionate relatives of aunt Wheezy. Our assiduous and dis interested atteutiqns to her, in the mani festation of which each of us strove toout do the oJher, were productive of uiutual reproaches and recriminations ; cousin : ... , . , . . : , . f'y u"u ceedings; I called Peter a time-server, while Peter bestowed upon me the title of legacy-hunter. I will take this opportu nity t mention, that our dispute upon this, and some future occasions of a simi lar nature, caused a total disunion of one of the most loving families the world had ever beheld. i A few 1 1 as t a f t efhjy ?a u h t's blessed re covery, I recemjcfryiS her the following note: Cr ' M y d ea r Tom v Pray come pdldme with your poor lone aunt on Sunday uext, at four o'clock precisely. Be with me at two precisely, as I have something of great importance to you to communicate. Bring -The Ob server' newspaper with vou. I remain your adVctionate aurtt, SVSANXAH WHERZY. P. S. Buy me a cribbuge board." As I had previously agreed to join in an agreeable party (a certain Miss Anna Maria Brackenbury being one) in an ex cursion to Richmond, this invitation was somewhat mal apropos; but the "some thing of great importance" was a hiut suf ficiently significant ; so I resolved to sa crifice my pleasure to that which:.! could not consider in any other light than as my interest. ' As the clock struck two, I entered aunt Susannah's dingy parlor. The cribbage boardiwas deposited in the side-board drawer, and "The Observer" (which I was to read aloud after dinner) on theman-tel-pieee. After a few preparatory "a heiMs!" thus did iy aunt unfold the " something of great importance:" i Thomas, I au a; poor lone woman.
