ShOTt story OJ Gn eVeW!JN tJe.--LOulSG Richards was born in, 1910, at Norwalks in Connecticut, of highly respectable par1 ents. Her father kept an, hotel there, and employed nephew, about the age of Lou- isa, for his bar-keeper, who went to live with him when Louisa was 9 years oid.- At II, she lost her mother, and 2 years at- rewards, her only brother. At 16, she was seduced by her cousin, in her fathers absence from home. Becoming enciente, and dreading her parents displeasure, she obtained permission to visit relation in New Y ork. Her cousin came with her5 and placed her on private board at Brook Iyn, where she was delivered of still born child. He returned immediately to Nor walk, whither she returned at the expira- ton of months and, soon after this. her cousin seduced the barAmaid, for which he was prosecuted. She then left home in dis~ gust, came again to New York, put herself under the protection of a Charleston ner- chant named E. L.. Cohlen, went on to that place, where she remained three or four years, quarrelled with her protector, went to England with q naval officer, re- turned to New York few months backs assumed the name of Adeline Richards, and went to live at Brooklyn. She was robbed on the Five Points month back, by two black women, who took her into the Swimming Bath,' and stript her ofev- cry article of clothing. A fortnight after- wards, she was found wandering in the streets, at midnight, destitute of a home, and taken to the watch house. She was discharged in the morning, and went to 99 Chapel street. She became reckless, gave herself up to drinking, was taken with th6 cholera on Wednesday, and sent to the Duane street hospital. Here, as one fthe physicians assures us, her handsome per. son, (for she still retained a degree of that :. beauty which caused her ruin,) genteel de- pertinent, and quiet and calm resignation to the will of Heaven, gained her the sym- pathy of all who saw her. She was con- stanlly weeping, and when any one sap- proached her bed side, she would cover her face from observation; she would tell no one her sad story; and was never heard to murmur Or upbraid. Inflammation of the brain ensued, and she knew her death was near. She requested some one to pray with her, kept distinctly muttering the name of some one she wished to see, and at last died, without a struggle, as without friend to close her eyes, at the early age
 of 23 years, and was borne to the. grave
 unknelled, unhonored, and unknown.' - ~. Y Trarscripf.

 have been so happy as to gain the appro- bation ,of those for whose sake l have so
 far departed from the strict limit which ancient prejudices have long prescribed to our sex, I shall be amply repaid for all the sneers of writings and fools. (Cheers.) ! have only been desirous of winning the approving smile of the nobler sex for my sentiments, not for myself i; and say unto you, lords of creation, as you call your selves, if you doubt my sincerity-I pro- claim it here in the face of all Augusta. now assembled around me, that you may believe me or not as you please-that there is. no one among you, Tom. Dick. oF Harry, that would give brass thimble to call husband to-morrow!!p
