Eliza then mentioned what,
the stranger had related at her;
uncle's, when he delivered Blake;
:.the letter, and what she had heard I
at the miliner's. The circum-i
7 stances Albert was , enabled to:
explain. A distant relation of;
' his father, and of the fan,e name
who lived on Staten-Island, had
obtained part of the inheritance
which fell to Albert: a young
man of about Albert's age was
-/he perlon sent over to claim the
property, who had married to a
fortune in London, his father's
family had removed to Long-111.
.some time before the Granger's
arrival at Newyork, who brought
the letter and the intelligence
which had given Eliza so much
uneasiness The father of this
young man had died after remov
{ring to Long Island, which, coin,
\ cided with the milinef's story.
\ Albert had mentioned this cir
-1 cumftance in a letter to his fath
er ; he had written to his friends
but once, which was before he
fat out to return, after which he
had not another opportunity.
Blake now was called in. A
cold and distant lalutation passed
between him and Albert The
circumstance was, particularly re
lated to him and his opinion re
# quested. He replied, that the

THE next day Albert came at the
appointed hour, and was receiv
ed again into Eliza's apartment,
with her parents only Her fath
er then told him that they were
ready to hear any explanation or
communication he wished to
make. Albert informed them,
that after he had accomplished
his business in England, he set
fail for America ; the second day
after which they were taken by
an Algerine corsair, carried to
Algiers, &; 'old for (laves. Some
of the'fhip's crew were redeemed,
others died in slavery ; Albert
and four more were chained to
thegallies, where they continued
eighteen months ; it happened
that; they were then driven off
the sea coast in a storm, and
Were picked up by a French ves
sel, which carried the two Turks
who were their over seers, to Bor
deaux, from whence Albert took
passage on board a merchant
man for America. This was
the ship which Eliza saw com
ing into port, the preceding af
ternoon; it arrived in the even
ing, and Albert as soon as he
came on shore went directly to
the house which formerly belong,
ed to his father, and found it un
occupied : he called at one of the
neighbors, who informed him of
the circumstances of his family,
his father's death, his mother's
removal, and the celebration of
Eliza's wedding that evening ;
almost in a state of diffraction he
hastened to the house ; his arri
val there, and what endued in
consequence thereof, is already
known.

PLEASANT HISTORY.
ALBERT AND ELIZA.
. A TALE.
was given in, a woman was an
nounced, who desired to be ad
mitted before the convocation.
She was immediately introduced
—it was Mifs^ Smith !—Blake
was agitated, and changed colour
upon feeing her ; Ihe desired to
be heard by the convocation when
the following circumstances were
unfolded..
Blake's father who was a no
bleman, had been illicitly con
neded with a woman pf family
in a remote part of England, by
whom he had two children, cne
lon and a daughter.—He after
wards married in London, but
never had any other child by his
wife except Bfake, who like the
sons of noblemen in general,
proved to be a wild youth. In
making the fafhionable tour of
Europe; be became acquainted
with a lady in Italy, whpm he
married. His father, indulgent
to him in all things, fanaioned
the marriage ; but what was his
astonishment when, on Blake's
bringing home his lady, his fath
er found it to be his own daugh
ter, by the woman beforemen^
tioned, who had retired to Italy,
where the died, leaving her two
children, witfi all her property,
which was tynfiderable, to the
care of a dirtant relation. This
daughter who was now the wife
of Blake, was Miss Smith 1 To
save the reputation of the family,
their father projected lending
them to America, until a separa
tion could be legally obtained ;
he however died before this plan
could be put into execution ; but
Blake came over to 'America with
his kinsman, the Governor, as
has been related ; the Governor,
however knew nothing of the af
fair. Miss Smith soon followed,
where they waited under fidious
names, for the interference of
fame friends in England, to ob
tain a dissolution of the marriage,
which had not yet been done.
Miss Smith had not seen her
brother since he was a youth,
when he went to live with a friend
at Paris. At parting they ex
changed miniature likened, Sol
emnly engaging never to part
with them till death. After Miss
decision must rest, solely, with
Eliza; he was not, himfelf, io
mad as to desire a connexion
with a person whose affections
were placed upon another. A
question then arose, whether the
marriage ceremony had not been
so far executed, between Eliza
and Blake, as to become legally
binding. The officiating clergy
man was then sent for, who
gave it as his opinion, that al
though the ceremony was not
fully completed, yet, so far that
he considered them really and
firmly married. He advised,
however, to fend for the clergy
of the city, to consult upon the
affair. This was agreed upon,
and two days after they ^er,e
convened at the house of Elizas
father. The parties and their
friends were present at the con
fultafion, the result of which was
that.nothing except death or di
vorcement could feperate Blake
and. Eliza. Just as this decision
