The ensuing day Mr.. Hadaway made

To whose kind and disiDieiesied humanity
they were indebted, under Providence,

adventures and they their smooth current
OF life. Time had not much changed
him, unless II might be that his hair was
little greyer and his queue an inch or
SD longer, his benevolent heart aud smile
remained all unchanged. Fanny sat
very demure and would never let him
catch her eyes. Sarah saw with wo-
mans tact (as well as from what Fanny
had told her, when she came home, about
her meeting him, that her old lover was
as much in love with her daUg gh;er, as
he had ever been with her. During the
day, too, he threatened her with a play
iul air, beneath which she saw there was
deep seriousness, that he would now
make love to her daughter to pay oil old
scores to her. Sarah aud Simon looked
at each other, smiled and began to think
as strange things had happened in this
world, they might happen again.
Day alter day Mr.. Hadaway visited
Weehawken, without making much inn
preston upon the wild Fanny, who began
TO be very fond of him as o sor, OF bache-
lor friend aud bcnefacior OF her father,
but always laughed at him when he be-
gan TO look tender, and, an old bachelor
looking tender 10 hoyden OF sixteen, is
certainly fairly laughable matter. One
day, six weeks after his discovery ol
Fanny, who at his request OF her parents,
had never been sent 10 the city alter
wards with strawberries-a person being
hired in her place-Simon and Sarah
learned with surprise and pleasure, that
Mr.. Uadaway had purchased the Van
dyne estate and was TO take possession
OF it at once. They exchanged glances,
and their thoughts REQUIRED to Fanny
with parental hopes that they yet dared
not whisper or communica ate 10 each 9TH
er. Mr. Hadaway at length became
their neighbour, and was daily yisllar'
at the cottage. One Sabbath morning
he met Fanny in her new hat--a mosI
becoming straw-on her way to the Sab
bath School, for she had n class IN it,
lie accosied her in the friendly, pleas
ant tone he had of late adopted m his III
tercourse with her, and walking beside
her, told her he had heard her speakin.
of some music she had heard in the city
and asked her il she would not like 10 b.
taught 1t.
"Oh yes, sir, of all things in the world,
she said, with delight.
"Well, then tomorrow we will talk /
over at the cottage"
The next day, Simon and Sarah gave
their consent to Mr.. Hadaway for hin
to send Fanny to boarding school IL
New York. Fanny had OF late become
much attached, like child to n kin'
uncle, rather than otherwise, to her Ia
ther's generous friend, for her mother ha'
told her of all the misery he had save'
them from; and now she fairly put he
AIMS around his neck and gave him
blushng, grateful kiss for the privlIeg

Mr.. Hadaway. This genileman had ia
ken the right course 10 effect his object
Gradually gratitude ripened into a war;
friendship and Fanny soon began
