was maintained by some of the gentlemen that
it was more inherent in the male than in the fe

subject, lady related the following instance of

young man, were invited by the owner of the
house, to take up their quarters for the night
and were put into a room in the same buildin.

He then drove to Amelia, and found her and
her children neat and clean, and as well dressed
as her poor wardrobe would admit. He en-
braced them with the utmost affection. and re
joiced Amelia's heart with a favorable account
Of her husband. He then told them to prepare
tnr ride with him The children were over
ioyed with the proposal, and they accompanied
hum down to the coach in high spirits Amelia
scarcely knew what to think or expect They
drove first to warehouse for ready-made linen.
where the captain assisted Amelia to furnish
herself with every thing necessary for the use
OF the children and herself, not forgetting some
shirts for her husband. Thence they went to a
clothes shop, where the little boy was supplied
with jacket and trowsers, hat, and great
coat, and the girl with another great coat and
bonnet, both were made as happy as happy
could be. They were next all furnished with
new shoes In short, they had not proceeded
far before the mother and three children were
all in new complete habiliments, decent but not
fine, while the old ones were tied up in bun
die, and destined for some family still poorer
than they had been.
The captain then drove to the lodgings he had
taken, and which he had directed to be put in
thorough order He led Amelia up stairs. who
knew not whittier she was going He brought
her into handsome parlor, and seated her in
house; hope you will let me now and then
came and see you in it." Amelia turned pale
and could not speak. At length a flood OF tears
come to her relief, and she suddenly threw herself
at her uncle S feet, and poured out thanks and
blessings IN broken voice. He raised her,
and kindly kissing her and her children, slipt a
purse Of gold into her hand
He next went to the hospital, and found Mr.
Bland sitting IN in bed and taking some food with
apparent pleasure. He sat down by him. God

about the safety Of removing him and the apothe-
cary thought there would be no hazard in doing it
that very day, The captain waited the arrival of
the physician, who confirmed the opinion. A Sc
dan chair was procured, and full directions being
obtained for the future treatment, with the phvsi
clans promise to look after him, the captain walked
before the chair to the new lodgings. On the knock
at the door, Amelia looked out of the window, and

to'ore the inquiries have been limited: but the
ministry seem now disposed to make it general,

Lordship upon this change in their views. But
he still thought the task would be performed We.

emancipation was TO be- excluded To exclude
