CHAPTER III.

1t was we'll nigh one year from the time
we have recorded the departure Of the gen.
teman, that carriage drove up to the Wal
dron cottage, and footman announced the
name Of him who had been detained there
by his wounds.
The family were glad to receive him, that
il, Mr.. and Mrs. WaldrOn gave him most
cordial welcome, 50 gra,fied were they to
find he had almost entirely been restored to
health, ELISA had run 10 her room to adjust
her toilet, when she heard q carriage ap-
preaching the court yard.
Where is Elisa, asked Mr.. Middleton
for that was tho name of the gentleman.
'She will be hero sOOn,' quickly replied
Mrs. WsldTOn.
4 trust she is well,' added Mr.. Middle
ton,
'Ehe iS, sir, and she has often said she
would be most happy to hear how you Were
after leaving our house.
Il am glad Of that, madam, for this day
visit you under very different feelings from
those which was thrown on your Kindness
and hospitality. l have come to ask the
hand Of yeur ELISA in marriage if her love
is not pliEhted to another

tion; and here, sir, is letter from your ole
and intimate friend Granville, which I tru,
Will satisfy you as to what right have a.

We need only add that the testimony
was satisfactory; and that in few weeks
afterwards, ELISA was Mrs. Middleton. Gul.
llling, as site will have it, Though i, always
raises smile on her husbands lips the
presentiment which she experienced when
she was drawing water from the well, in the
garden Of the Underwoods.
In little over year and half from that
Incident she drove to the residence of Mrs
Underwood. The servants rang at the door.
but as she alighted from her carriage her
gIrlish feelings came over her, and she walk.
ed into the back parlour without ceremony.
Mrs. Underwood soon entered and passed
the compliments of the morning with much
embarrassment, not being able to recollect
the face of the lady who had honored her
with call, which she finally had to con.
less. Why, not remember Eltssa--well.

II has been often enough said to have
been tested, thsE 'ruth is stranger than fic-
ton.' The brief story we are now 10 relate,
10 true inc dent'sf American life, without
the least coloringof Incident; and not few
among the readers Of the Lady's Book will
'rscognize its Original, at once.
Elisa Waldron was the Only daughter of
an honest and intelligent farmer, who resi-
"ded few miles from one of our largest ci-
ties. Their humble but neat cottage stood
little distance from the principle avenue
leading out Of the metropolis; and though
the small farm of Mr. Waldron did not in.
dicate wealth, it was admired by all who
rode cut to partake of the sweetness Of the
country, fol the universal indication cf thrift
and industry that every where prevailed
hi. Wcldgon was marked by he creaie1,
qualities which form good and admired cit
iSen, and the partner Of his life was equal
'ly the pride Of the rural neighborhood in
which they dwel.. They had, by life of
Industry and economy, placed themselves
above want, though they never could be cal
led rich. It was their constant care to IN
sulcate correct principles in their only
daughter. If said Mr.. Waldron one day
10 ELISA, 'you learn 10 be above the world,
BY knowing how to provide for yourself
with your own hands, independence, my
girl, will be yeur inheritance 1t was in
pursuance Of this early implanted principle
Of self-reliance, we suppose, that induced
ELISA to 60 to the city, when in her teens,
in the capacity of domestic service. She
lived in the family Of an old friend Of her
fathers for about two years, more like
daughter than serv1nt for Mrs. Underwood
was good lady, and ELISA filed large
place in her heart. She was ever 80 atten-
i've, intelligent and afIectionats in the rcla-
tOn in which she occupied.
The estate of Mr.. Underwood was situa-
ted little distance frsm the dense portion
Of the city. In large garden which was
ths pleasure Of his home hours, he had a
well fer the double purpose Of supplying
The family with water, and sprinkling nu-
Nriment to the rare e1oties Of his hot-houses.
ELISA went out one day, as she often did,
10 draw pail of water. Mrs. Underwood
was passing in distant part of the garden,
and saw that ELISA was stadirg gazing in
the we'll for some time, with an almost va
CANT stare. Her curiosity was excited, and
%Aking towards tho we'll, in a gentle tone
she ssked, 'why, ELISA, what do you see

Nothing, madam, only am never going
10 draw any more water in this garden

lngs, met for mutual benefit on the broad

iOunGed on tho possession of sEFealth, or

country where the great boast Of equality
is upon every lip, their are more distinc-
tious in society than in any other country
in the world; and they are grades Of arris-
tocracy, in each Of which there 10 more
exclusiveness manifested than among the
nobility and gentry Of any Kingdom in Eu-
rope. There are distinctions in society
which should always exist, on the perpet-
uity Of which sound morals greatly de-
ponds. They consist in the various pha-
ses exhibited by virtue and vice and the
more vicious member of the compact be-
comes, broad and more decided should ney-
er be passed exceP. on an ensnd Of mercy

is distinction of character. depending up
on the violation of each, not ON any fortui-
tous circumstances, and consequently is a
legitimate distinction. But 10 sec men
building their structure Of superiority upon
the sandy and uncertain foundation Of rich
es, upon the fame Of some distinguished
prcgenitor, or upon the more foolish and III
diculsuS idea that one employment is more
genteel than another, eXcites the smile oi
mingled pity and contemp. upon the lips
Of the sensible. Yet we daily meet with
those who assume superiority on these
grounds, and it is this practice, arising
from the error of the judgement, or to the
absolute want Of common sense, that we
may ascribe ninetenths OF the evils with
which the harmony of society is disturbed.
Several years since, we msdo journey
to a thriving village in ueishboring county
and while tsrrying at the house Of a friend
saw a practical illustration of the above re-
marks. A social party had gathered on
the occasion of the return Of smother
birthday Of one Of our friends daughters
and it was really 4 congregation of pretty
and cheerful faces. During the evening +:
cotillion was proposed, and couples imme
diately formed upon the floor. FrOma retir'
ed corner came neatly dressed youngman
with an intelligent countenance and pleas
ing address, and invited gay butterfly girl
who seemed disposed to hrit with every DO
dy to join in the dance. Shssearcoly deign

packed accompanied by many little pres
ent from the Underwoods, and took the stage
for the rural hcme Of her childhood. MOI
a word, however, did she utter TO her parents
Of her strange presehtimeut, for she well
knew that they would laugh much al her fol
induIging such fancy. She kept it 10 her
self; but so strong an impression had il made
upon her feelings that she never abandoned
the thoug t,scarcely in her walking or sleep
/ ing moments.
CHAPTER II.
The reader will recollect we have men
toned that the cottage of MIR. WaIdron was
situated but little distance from the great
avenue leading from the metropolis. Null
tltudes OF carriages in the sweet scented
season Of summer drove out that way that
their inmates might inhale the flowers and
the fields. 1t was not long after the return
Of ELISA, that one day genteman's car
riage was literally broken TO atoms, by his
horses taking fright, and he was thrswn out
opposite the cottage of Mr.. Waldron, hav-
ing one Of his hips dislocated, his left arm
broken, and being otherwise so badly iniur-
ed as to remain for long time in state of
irsensibility, after he had been conveyed
into the cottage Of Mr.. Wsldrun. The
physician positively forbade his removal to
his own home in the city; and ELISA and
her kind hearted mother struggled to outdo
oach other in attentive nursing Of their ac-
cldentai patient BY this unremitting kind
ness, and the best skill of tho surgeon, he
was restored after month or two so far as
10 be in condition to remove in his car
riage without risk to his life, but before
leaving the place where his very existence
had been preserved. he made very liberal
present to the worthy lnolher, 10 reward the
tolls Of herself and Elssa towards
him!
yLs e-.i,. ssefely iearhed the name OF
the gentleman, and that he was very rich;
and as they had done their duty TO him, and
he had begged 10 be permitted most liberal
Iy 10 reward Mrs. Waldron, they expected
in parting with him on the morning of his
removal that he would never again be seen
by them.

Peters Pills.

THE unparalleled reputation which Peter, pm.
L have acquired as a Medical Restoratiue i, n.
most unquestIonable prooftbst can be given, OF ,h.s.
immense Importance 70 The afflicted in almost ey..-
class Of diseases. The number of letters receive,
from Patients recovered through their means, ia re-
ally prodigious, and the complaints they have cursd
are almost as varied as they are numerous. nj,
still there are some 10 which they are more esns
cIaily beneficial than IN others and among those
may be named the too often fatal complaints of "a.
stomach and bowels, such as Cholic, Fzatuation ,,s
Indigestion, for which they are not only a cerfo,a
but an Immediate cure.
Ii is well known that from the disarrangemept A.
the stomach and bowels, arise nine tenihs OF ali ths
maladies ofadult and declining life that this is ,be
foundation Of fatuency, s~pasmodic pains, indigo.
lion, loss Of appetite, &c. and that those in their
turn give birth to DTopsy, Liver Complaint, Con.
sumption, and habifuaI iotcness Of spirits thereio,s
Peters Pills being the very best medicine which
has ever been discovered for the %incIpient diseses q,
the intestines, are necessarily the surest prcvent..
tives Of those dreadful, and also general disorder.
which embitter mature life and drag so many mil.
lions TO untImely graves.
In speaking thus, DR.. Peters arrogates nothing 10
himself that has not been conceded by the publ;c
He is no needy quack or unknown Speculation. VIII
comes before the world as his own herald and vii.
ness but IS placed in a responsibility of situation bv
the patronage which he has enjoyed for years. and
which is increasing TO an extent unprecedented in
the aDBnls OF medicine, that makes him careful IA
assert nothing which is not borne out by the mos,
iDfaiible proof and hence he does not fear 10 be mn,
TO the test 10 any thing which he has promised res,
pecting his Pills.
DR.. Peters is most happy to be able TO state On
the authority Of several regular Physicians ,ha,
wherever bis Vegetable Pills have been introduced
they have almost superseded the adoption Of mer.
curlal experiments, for their peculiar faculty in swee.
tening the blood and stimulating il TO expel all nox.
ious juices, and in giving strength and tone to the
nerves, prevents diseasefrom acquiring that strength
which must be got under, if at all, by ~dangerou,
remedies.
