But how had thingschangcd Old Rowland was q beggar, pretending to possess the willof his brother after his supposed death.- That brother had now taken possession of his property, and old Rowland had decamped ere the arrival of young Bran- don. Thconcccharming and still beau tiful Clara finding herself at liberty {for it was afterwards reported that old How land was dead) flew to the Convent of Georgetown, and had assumed the black veil, which forever separated her from the world. Thither, after short delay, Brandon proceeded, with the hope of at least seeing her, but finding his efforts fruitless he proceeded to New York, and took passage for Europe, with view of making tour, from whence he has ney- CT returned.
 Thus ended the avaricious and tyran- nical tragedy of the house of Summer vile. Thus Providence defeats the views of the vicious and avaricious.- Had they sought the happiness for their child, wealth would have crowned their hopes. But ever thus does the wheel of fortune revolve. There is no calcu- lating who will be good or bad, who will be rich or poor. \ firm affection should be the first object in the matri. monial alliance. If wealth follows, il is well-if not, seek it. The greatest as we'll as the richest of men have arisen from ohseurity.
