/ 'S'o ufSb'Scu, WHICH nave doomed pur
young creature to broken heart, and vii
probably terminate in her early death, or
life more horrible than the grave.
From the information we have received
and it is furnished us on unauestionable
authority, it appears that M. A. j., the lad,
OF whom we have spoken, was an inmate Of
boarding school, at Lewiston, u. C. when
she became acquainted with the man to
whom she WIS afterward married.
She was an orphan, and it is said inheri-
ted large fortune: which was under the
care of an uncle, her guardian. Delicate.
~ bred, and ignoran. of the world, it is not
cause Of wonder, that her feelings were
strongly tinctured with romance. She was
young, too, only sixteen, and in addition to
extraordinary beauty possessed of every ac-
cornplishfnent ofin.e!lect and education-
The william who deluded her was introduc-
ed TO her relatives ,s a gentleman of stand
ing and responsibility, and by his persona!
graces and consummatc tact, was we'll cal
culatcd to win the affections Of an inexpe-
ricnced and unsuspecting bosom.
Unable to accomplish his object by any
other means, he proposed marriage, and
contrary to the earnest circumstances of
her uncle and friends, she listened to his
en'reaties, and finally eloped with the fas-
cinating stranger, 10 whom she was married
in Detroit. 1t was not until her arrival in
this city that she discovered the fatal secret
of her husbands former marriage. The
person who gave her the information, states
that he never beheid more heart-rending
scene. The conviction that she had been
duped by him upon whom she placed her
hearts richest affections, with whom but a
moment before, she had expressed her will
llngncss TO die in prison, together with the
thought that she was not his wife, produced
m alternate struggle between pride and
love, such as can only be understood bv
those who have learned its horrors by expo
renee. Nature, ever kind to its tenderest
flowers, left Miss J. long inscnsihle to her
fate. Another, and perhaps little less bit
ter affection, was in reserve. The nnprin-
cip'ed villain had circulated FAR and wide, a
report that they had never been married,
and that she was only one &c the many.
whose love be had won without the ccre-
monv OF legal union. This story too reach
ed her years and the conviction of its truth
give another and deeper pang to her wound
ed spirit.
For him she had given up all-Ae home
Of her fathers, the associates of her child
hood, the friends she loved-and how had
the wealth of her heart beer repaid? He,
f,r whom all had been sacrificed, determin-
cd on IA sill further sacrifice of her remain
ing ireasnre--her good name; and pitifui
and malicious f,lsehood, endeavored to
complete the ruin his arts and wickeIness
had devised.
In the meantime, the author Of her sor-
row and disgrace, having procured his lib
Grafton from prison, has gone we know not
whittier, and escaped for while the conse-
quences of his offence. Bat though the
law, tarav and utterly impoten. as it is in
matters of this k,nds may be Intellectual 10
in1ict upon such being the punishment
his crimes demands, there is an avenger in
his own conscience, if there is one spark
of humanity yet left, which sooner or later
must award him re,ribI,ipn more fearful
than any human tribunal can dispense.
Miss j., contrary to the orders, of her
physician, who considered her removal, in
the present state of her health, hazardous,
has returned to her home in Canada. Poor
girl! Ifsympathy can heal the wounds Of
the spirit, no honest heart will refuse her the
balm Of lis pity and compassion.
THE SUB-TREASURY SCHEME.

months, and that especially which has just

maSt be confessed, that during the last few
years of rnisrule, violence, and corruption,
there was enough to discourage the stout

mass of the people, and we rejoice that this
confidence has not been misplaced. 1t, as
