And the evening sun, as he leaves the world,
Looks kindly on that spot last.

And it watches the bed Of the glorious dead,

Shall foam and freeze no more.

cript gives an account of courtship and
marriage which took place some months
since in that city, and which, if true, shows
that the dull monotony of every day life is
occasionally relieved by the occurrence of
romantic incidents. The story goes, that u
French gentleman, merchant Of New-Or-
leans, came 10 New York last autumn, with
the intention of residing there during the
sickly season in his native city, and took lodg-
ings in one Of the first hotels. One of his daily
amusements was to visit the Battery, to gaze
upon those who thronged its walks. Among
those whom he saw, his attention was partic-
ularlv attracted toward very beautiful
girl, who visited the battery in company with
several children. Struck by her personal
beauty and her amiable department, the
Frenchman managed to make her acquaint-
ance. From herself he ascertained that she
was Of Irish parentage, and domestic in the
family of wealthy merchant of New. York,
of whose children she had charge. As might
have been expected from such conduct on
the part Of an honorable man, the gentle
mans attentions resulted in an offer Of mar
riagc, which had the effect, at first, of alarm
ing Mary,-for such was the pretty name of
the girl-whose unworthy mind had not even
dreamed of such thing but her lover soon
convinced her of his sincerity, and she prom
Used to become his wife. Accordingly, she
left her residence, one evening, and pro-
ceeded with her affianced to the house of q
clergyman, by whom they were united
They passed the night at the husbands ho-
tel, and the next morning Mary returned to
the house in which she had acted in meni-
al capacity, to procure her little property,
and much surprised her former employer by
showing him her marriage certificate, from
which he learnt that her husband was per-
son with whom he had himself transacted
business. and who was a gentleman Of great
wealth and high character.
The fortunate bride soon left New-York
for the home of him to whom she owes so
much, and letters from that place represent
her as in the enjoyment of great happiness.
