No! did not' replied Lucy. sE'or under
the circumstances thought il, imprudent and
unnecessary to ag'tate his mind. Besides, |
had every reliance upon your honor, and the
reputation you had acquired forbid me to
doubt you. feel assured the love you once
felt has been long since forgotten, and my
image has completely faded from your ina
gination. Dumesnil believed that she was
right, but this unlocked for apparition, this
singular meeting, had borne down like a re-
volution OH The heart of the philosophic Am
brose, and although the flames of love had
been Tor some time smotheIcd, yet they were
not completely extinguished, and only requir-
ed the breath of circumstances to burst out
atresh. DuEssni soon perceived this: but
what was,t be done Could he with pro-
/. priety leave vie charge he had pledged him
self to protect! Would he be justified in de-
| ceiving the friend who had trusted him He
would consider her as an additional ward-a
second treasure but treasure far more diff
cult to protect than the other, for he had TO
guard against himself, as well as guard from
the contact of others.
Never was virtue more tried-never did
virtue conquer more glorious.y. The homes
ty of this man had exposed him to all sorts
OF Inconvenience. His house was made a
nursery of-his exquisitely cultivated garden
converted into play ground-his retirement
destroyeG-his peace invaded-all his best
and dearest occupations intruded upon, and
this because he was more honorable, honest.
wise, and benevolent than the generality Of
his fellow men. Still Dumcsnil, much as he
deplored the circumstances under which he
was placed, persevered in strictly doing his
duty, although at times he felt the burden
more than he was able to bear.
AT length he began to despair, and looked
forward TO death, which could alone. he
thought,r release him from the annoyances which
he now felt were beyond human endurance,
when letter arrived from Philadelphia sealed
with black, announcing the death of Mart;gny,
and stating that previous to his decease he
had fulfilled the object of his journey. He
had found the man whom he sought-the
thief who had robbed him Of five hundred
thousand francs-and that was Sainval.
Thus virtue, after having suffered much,
was about to be fecompensed. Ambrose Du-
mesnil married Lucy, the undisputed inheritor
of her husbands wealth, and thus became the
legitimate proprietor of the double deposite
confided TO his honor and truth.

Two SEA SERPENTs IN THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY. Capt Lawson, of the schr. Empire, of
Snow Hill, Md, has furnished the New IIa-
ven Courier with the following account of the
two monsters of the deep seen by him at the
mouth Of the Chesapeake last week:
Capt. Lawson was at the time in charge of
the wheel, when his vessel grated upon some
thing, which he supposed to be a wreck, from
the fact that a dark looking object, resembling
at first glance rusty spar, was at the same
time seen standing erect, Immediately by the
side and above the railing. Soon, however, it
was discovered to be moving body, with a
head and mouth, which was plainly marked
by reddish color along the side or about the
jaws, and the captain with much alarm con-
cluded that he was really and truly, instead of
going over wreck, in contact with tho old
fellow himself, the real 'Sea Sarpint."
After the schooner had passed oyer him, it
was observed that there were two in company.
The one first seen raised himself from the wa
ter some 10 or 90 feet, and exhibited body in
length, as near us could be ascenained, full
sixty feet. About ten feet from the head there
commenced swell as largo as barrel, cover
ed at stated distances with nearly pointed pro-
jectons, and reached in length about ten feet,
and then ended quite abruptly, when the body
again resumed its regular form, which was,
the captain thinks, about tha circumference of
schooneI's spar.
The full length of the serpent, or whatever
it may have been, was judged 10 be some hun
bred feet, its head small in proportion to its bo-
dy. The wind being light, the two were seen
together, 10 the leeward, for full half an hour,
seemingly amusing themselves by alternately
rising upon the top Of the water, and then
sinking again beneath the surface; their heads
whenever above the water, were always OBJ
served pointing to the east
