"Captaln Lowe" said the greatlul SNIP
master.
"Capt. Cleveland" said the astonished
Capt. Lowe, and they were locked in each
others arms.
After thousand eager questions and an
swers, Capt. Lowe accompanied Capt
Cleveland to his home.
A light cleaned from the easement as
the two friends entered the flower yard
that stretched cut in front Of the prettiest
cottage in Norfolk, and as they assembled
the door stoop, beautiful woman, the per-
fec timage of the praying maiden of the
Despatch,but apparently many years older,
sprang upon Captain Cleveland's neck and
kissed him but seeing the stranger, she
blushed and retiring step or two, "why
George you should have told me you had
stranger with you?" "TOld you," said
the laughing Captain, smoothing his ruffled
bosom, "why zounds you didn't give me
chance to breathe; but come Meg, here is
one that you will rejoice to see; here is the
saviour of myself and my dear Anne.
Captain Lowe of the Earl Spencer. Mrs.
Cleveland" At the mention of that ever
cherished name, Mrs. Cleveand's counte-
nance lit up with smile Of joyful gratitude
and advancing to him, she seized his open
hand, and with burning words, poured out
the full torrent of her soul. "And now,"
said she " come in, for our homely tea is
ready, and Anne will be so delighted to see
you."
) Soon the little trio were seated in the
paIlor, and while they were conversing a.
r bout the deeds of other days, Anne bound
J ed into the parlor, and exclaimed, with a
= burst of joy" Uncle dear uncle Cap
b. tain Lowe, ofthe Earl Spencer, has come,
: for heard a -nassenUer saw sn at thu land-
: ing as passed by. DO 50 and BRING him
: home with you"
: (" He is here, Anne,'' said tho delighted
S Captain Cleveland.
If Anne turned with countenance suffused
a with bushes, and exclaiming. " my gene
II rous preserver" threw herselfupon couch
a completely senseless. When she recover
i ed, she found her head resting upon the
o breast of the gallant sailor, and glancing her
y eyes around her, she whispered, The Pi-
e rates deck ! oh, how plainly it passed be-
y fore me, but now know it was dream ;
2r let US attend to the wants of our preserver,"
j. and raising to her feet with majestic mien
ID and smile of angelic sweetness, she seated
t. herself by the tea urn and performed the
sc honors of her uncle's table to the satisfae'
" ton of all concerned. When the evening
lie meal was finished, and the little company
W had seated themselves in the honey suckle
n arbor, Captain Lowe informed his patient
listeners that he had met with great misfor.
Is tunes, and had now come with the wreck o.
L. his wealth, to buy him small plantation
Is in Virginia, and settle in that noble State.
H. This resolution was highly approved of
st and until such an arrangement could b'
made, Capt. Lowe became an inmate o
at the Cleveland family. Three eksPasseC
a away, and at the commencement of tht
ar fourth, to the surprise of every one in Nor
folk, the beautiful Anne Cleveland became
a. the bride of the stranger Captain. How he
m plead, how she sighed, how he won, and
y. how she blushed, will not trust my pen tc
no tell; but that the whole business was per.
ne formed according to the ssages of the se'
y service, have no reason to doubt.
ld And now in the County of Northumber-
p land, surrounded by numerous family
