looked, pointed to seme object behind me
! turned, it was Daniel Stone Esq.--that is
my uncle she said
If there had been time, what caBer
should have cut She was not servant
girl, after all. But oh how far different
She was the oppressed orphan in whose
cause had already slain such number Of
pawpaw blossoms!
Now it was clear why she longed to see
me; clothed by her uncle in the coarsest
gars and sent to weed his garden, without
parent or brother, or friend--I had been
kind ito her, an 10 me had been given
those strong and living bonds that would
hold her to the last. These things scarce
flashed on e,ere the uncle demanded what
did with his niece and bade her to work.
She would have gone, but taking her hand
l stayed her!
'Mr. Stone,' said /, i came here il ask
this young lady to marry me; not knowing
she was your niece. Your consent you
may give or not as you please: know
you sir, from head to toe, and every dark
and dirty hole and corner in that heart Of
yours. If you like the match well; if you
will provide for your niece, we'll again; but
shall ask nothing of you but to stand out
Of 70 pa'A, anllet US pass.
! . dis speech was not precisely what
would have made it if had time, but it
pleased me pretty well, and what was more
made the old man do as wished hing
stand aside.
Even as she was, took my bride horneJ
check apron and all. left her in the par
lor; and going to my uncle's rOom-Uncle,
said |, Efie Stones down stairs, and I'M
going to marry her. And when, to eluci-
date the remark, told him the whole lale'
/ found the old rogue had known her all the
while; but having suspected my errOr,frOni
called Sylva,and by her aid the fugitive was
provided for. Tomorrow you shall bS
married said my uncle,
Tomorrow came very slowly, but nevera
theless, it came ard went We were mar
ried. Every body has been married, and
it is needless to say any thing abou it. Afi
ter the wedding we had a little sober sup:
per, as which my old opponent; Mr.. Lamb
gave us a toast, Daniel Stone--Msy ho
soon be Daniel coming to judgment. 1t
was bad joke for him, but every one exi
cept poor EfIie laughed grea! deal, and
hoped it might turn cut so, and SO it did
Some ten days after our marriage my uncle
told me with long face that he feared We
should have to 60 to law, though he hated
to set bad example. 1t seemed he had
clue to the will of old Stone, and hoped to
get the Bank for me. The suit was insti-
tuted, and in two years we had Judgment.
Old Daniel did all the harm he could TO the
place before he left it, but it was repaired
long ago.
The bower where we first met is still 10
be seen, land Efie still weeps over the same
copy Of Simple Susan A little lSdgS
has been built over the spring By the syca-
more; and many an evening do spend
there, with her whom loved in the teeth
Of prejudice, and whom / have found,
though devoid of earthly learning, TO be
full of that wisdom which makes the heart
glad. And should any of you visit our
country can assure you of kind welcSms
from the Garden Girl Of Eden Bank.
